A/N Here you go! Please review my new chapter! I do not own The Selection Series, just my plot!
Chapter 9
"Maxon! This is insane. We just got our newfound peace with the people and now they decide to shake things up?" I exclaimed. Andrew Illea decided to give us time to make our decision.
"Darling, we will figure this out. But for now, we need to get ready to The Report. It's very important on how we present ourselves today. Because if something were to come up, they would feel more secure with sticking by our side." Maxone reassured. I suppose I should trust him. I am still learning the political game here.
I wear my usual tiara with my light pink dress. While I still prefer pants, I have grown accustomed to the custom made dresses fit for the queen. My hair was straightened today to look more crisp and in control.
We begin the Report as usual and go over this week's agenda. Nothing special. Maxon gave me some air-time to go over my newest projects for philanthropy. "So, we will host an event to fundraise money for…" My speech was interrupted with a loud door slam.
Kriss.
It is unsettling to see your husband's ex girlfriend who almost won his heart in the end. Let alone interrupting The Report today.
"May I have everyone's attention?" Kriss announced.
"Kriss, what are you doing?!" Maxon shouted while holding me back as I give her a death glare. She glances back and smiles. She faces the audience again.
"Good people of this nation. Many of you know me as Kriss, the runner up in the Selection. I want to present you with the opportunity for a change of power." We freeze. She's in on it. Of course, she is. I figure out she was a rebel towards the end of the Selection. She continues. "But first, I would like to introduce you to my fiance, Christian Ilea." She added an emphasis, knowing people would go crazy of his lineage.
He walks in with Andrew and Samantha. The cameras rush to find them. He looks a little older than Maxon with a rigid, but powerful look. Christian walks up to the stage to join Kriss and kisses her on the cheek. "She's right. Are you unhappy with the Schreave's rule? We want to give you the opportunity to vote on the new line of royalty."
There were gasps among the crowd. Maxon tries to speak, but someone turned off his microphone. He mouths to me, "We need to stop this!"
"You got to see then prince, now King Maxon find his soon-to-be Queen America among all of the beautiful ladies. Would you like the chance to pick your new King and Queen?" Christian announces.
"This is crazy! This is treason." I shout without my microphone.
"I think you're just afraid of losing your power. We will leave the power up to the people" Christian smiles, bows and exits.
