Chapter One:
Amberly
I was sitting infront of the television screen, knowing that it was time. Adele, my sister, was sitting beside me. Aaron and Ainsley were sitting on the floor and my parents were sitting on the other couch. "Oh, Amberly!" my mother sighed. "What if you won? What if you were to become the next queen of Illea?" I shook my head. "Mother, we have to wait another week till we know who gets selected to fight for the throne."I said. We were all sitting infront the television, waiting for The Report to air. We were supposed to find out who the 35 selected were next Friday. Little did we know, there was a surprise coming up.
Clarkson
When my parents told me that a selection was going to happen, I was furious. I wasn't going to marry any street girl! I needed royalty. I had recently attempted to court the Princess of Italy. She threw her tea on me. How rude and unlady like was that? Only later, though, did I find out that she was engaged and getting married within the month. Now she has a little girl named Serenity. She would have made a perfect queen. Now, in a weeks time, I was going to find out who the 35 girls that were coming to this palace were. I hope there are some polite ones that aren't just here for the crown. I don't know how I was going to fall in love with any of them. "Prince Clarkson?" a voice came from my door. "Come in!" I shouted. It was my butler, Manny. "Your Highness, its time for the Report" he stated. "Oh, okay, I'll be there in 5 minutes" I muttered while looking through my rack of ties. I slowly heard Manny close the door. Today was going to be a very interesting day, and I was looking forward to every bit of it.
Amberly
The face of Gavril Fadaye flashed on the television screen. He was the new anchor for the Report. The old one retired and I was glad to say that. He wasn't good at interviewing people. Gavril on the other hand, was really good at that. "Hello Illea!" Gavril boomed. "Today we are coming to you from Angeles with a very special announcement! Your Majesties King Porter and Prince Clarkson Schreave decided to announce the names of the Selected early!" I gasped. Ever since I was a young girl, I started developing a small crush on the Prince. I had appllied for the Selection along with Adele. I really hope I'm selected! "So Your Highness, why have you decided to announce the names of the Selected early?" Gavril questioned. "Because my son here wanted to know who was selected a week before. He's really excited to meet these ladies" King Porter stated. "Alright then, lets announce the names of the Selected!"
