Disclaimer: I do not own the selection

"Do you think I should? " Elizabeth asked.

"Elly, I..."

Elizabeth, grinning, grabbed her gun.

"Elly!"

"I'm sorry, Jason."

And a gunshot echoed through the halls.

Victoria's POV:

"JAMES COME HERE!"

James grinned as he ran across the palace lawn. He came close to the gates, where paparazzi surrounded them. Victoria had usually thought this making them trapped, but the way of iilea was that. Castes seperated all. The paparazzi were usually 3's or 4's maybe occasionally a 2. But sometimes, seperation is captivity.

Victoria glanced at the paparazzi. She knew the next paper would have "royal children snowball fights."

In her trance, she stumbled back with a POW of a huge ice scrap hitting her head. Her skin burned with ice.

"Hey!" Victoria cried, "that's not nice!"

"Not nice?" James snorted as he gathered up with more snow. Another flash of the camera made him drop the ball.

"Hey!" James yelled at the crowd, "I almost dunked her!"

There was a snicker from the crowd. Then a voice.

"Your highness prince James!" Maid Loriel cried, "your highness princess Victoria! What are you..." Loriel trailed off. Victoria knew she was going to say "doing" but Loriel was one of the maids who showed more respect than friendship.

"Mom wants us AGAIN?!" James snorted.

"She said it was about the selection." Maid Loriel mumbled.

Suddenly James went white.

"And Victoria has to come too." Loriel added.

Why us?

James's POV:

James had perpared something to say to mom, and he said it the momment he stepped into the throne room.

"Look, I'm NOT doing a selection! I know I'm the crown prince, and I-"

"Silence!"

James knew better than to speak out.

"You two. James 22 and Vicky 17. Both of marriagable age."

He couldn't see what her point was, "17?! That's marriageable age?!"

Mom looked at him angrily, "We are doing a double selection. "

Vicky raises her eyebrows, "that's..."

"Hey, it's a tradition, and it will make the stupid lower castes happy." Mom rolls her eyes, "like it is."

"That's... new." Was all James could say.

"We will be announcing it tomorrow. It pains me to wait. Plus, I haven't went to the spa for a while."

Only the selfishest of queens would say that.

The selfishest of queens was Elizabeth.

Background:
It started with a selection.

But that was only her face. In the 3rd year after the selection ended, thier marriage, her true identity came to Jason.

The monster only wanted power. And power only.

He knew that, but haven't realized she would kill to get it.

After his parents were poisoned, Jason had felt it was the last straw. He felt It was time to rewind, to divorce her. But Jason was too nice to realize that Elizabeth was more vile then he ever imagined.

Thier son, James, was only 5 years old.

The king was killed that night, in the palace.

And the beautiful and fair Elizabeth became high queen.
