I DO NOT OWN THE SELECTION SERIES. SHOUT OUT TO ABIZEAU FOR CREATING THIS CHARACTER. WE ARE NEARING THE END OF THIS STORY.
Schreave Palace. Province of Angeles. 3 months and 4 weeks into the selection.
The next day, Anna Bristol was summoned for a private audience with the King himself. A few months ago, she would have jumped at the chance to meet the supreme ruler of the greatest country on Earth. Now, after seeing how sheltered his daughter was and how brutal he had reacted to a couple of selected falling in love...Anna's admiration for the King of Illèa had slowly turned to fear. She entered the office as she came face to face with his majesty: King Maxon, second of his name and his private secretary: Benvolio Jackson.
"Your Majesty...it is an honor to present myself before you." Anna stated robotically as she gave the men a curtsy.
"Miss Bristol, thank you for coming." The king said as he walked around to the front of his desk. "The reason for this audience is that my personal secretary has found that there is a serious problem with your application for the selection."
"What do you mean?" Anna asked as she felt the shadow of anxiety rearing it's ugly head as she tried to force it away.
"What I mean is that it is a requirement that all people chosen to participate in a selection must be virgins." Maxon explained as he glared daggers at her. "It has come to my attention that you Anna Bristol...are not a virgin." The author was stunned by this revelation as she knew that she had been found out.
"I..." Anna tried to say before the sovereign snapped his fingers at her.
"Do not speak, the fact that you think me such a fool not to perform due diligence on those that I allow inside my palace is insult enough!" he growled as Benvolio came forward.
"The Royal Bureau of Investigation has conducted an investigation into your affairs, miss Bristol." Mr. Jackson explained as he looked over the manila folder that he held in his hand. "Several RBI agents had a nice long talk with your ex boyfriend: Kevin Nelson. He admits that you and he were lovers and had carnal knowledge of each other." Anna could not believe that Kevin had sold her out to the RBI. They had not ended on good terms, but she thought that he possessed common decency.
"You do realize that lying to the crown is treason, the punishment for this is death and to think of what would happen to your dear mother?" Maxon replied as Anna froze in fear. She had not honestly thought that she and her mom would be put to death for this.
"Please sir, I'll do whatever you want." Anna begged, earning a grin from her King.
"I could show mercy...in return for you exiting gracefully from this selection." he demanded. Anna did not want to leave because she truly cared for Melody, but she knew that there was no other option.
"All right, I'll ask her to eliminate me." Anna said bitterly as she felt a burning hate for Maxon II.
"Good girl, you may go." he said as he waved her away like a lowly servant.
Later that afternoon.
Crown Princess Melody Schreave was excited because she had planned a pleasant date for herself and Rosa Quinton. Suddenly, she heard a knock at her door. Melody opened to reveal a teary eyed and clearly upset Anna Bristol.
"Anna, are you all right?" Melody asked in a concerned tone of voice as Anna shook her head.
"No Melody, there's something that I need to tell you. I lied on my selection application. I lost my virginity to this douche bag that I dated back in Carolina." Anna answered as she wiped the tears forming in her eyes.
"It's going to be OK, I won't tell anyone." Melody said with a small smile as she tried to cheer Anna up. "You can still stay in the selection, I want you to."
"I can't Melody!" Miss Bristol exclaimed as she pulled the princess close. "Your father knows and he threatened me and my mother unless you eliminate me. Please Melody, you have to send me home." Melody was heartbroken at this revelation. Did her father's cruelty know no bounds? All he did was make everyone around him miserable and she hated him for it as she was sure that Anna now did as well.
"All right Anna...you're eliminated." Princess Melody said softly as Anna wrapped her in a hug.
"I'm really happy that I got to know you Melody, you are going to make an amazing Queen someday." she insisted as she went back to her room to pack her bags before the guards took her to catch a flight back to Carolina. Melody closed the door to her bedroom, flopped down on her Queen sized bed and wept. Anna Bristol was not only a good writer, but a good person and she deserved so much better.
