I DO NOT OWN THE SELECTION SERIES. SHOUTOUT TO COOKIEDOODLES FOR CREATING THIS CHARACTER.
Scheave Palace. Sacramento, Province of Angeles. 3 months and 3 weeks into the selection.
Now that Quince Bush was safely locked away in the dungeon, awaiting a trial, King Peter could work on repairing the country. He first repealed the decree requiring clergy to submit their sermons for government approval. He then legalized the Illèan Conservative party. Peter was too late to save the scores of rebels that had already been hanged, but Christa Aske and the surviving rebels had pledged their fealty to the crown and a relived Peter pardoned them all. This the Radical Right Rebellion was finally brought to an end.
When the danger of the rebellion and of Bush had calmed down, Peter opted to find a new prime minister while getting back to the selection. As Peter was pouring through papers, the Baron of Yonkers paid him a visit.
"Hey bro, you got a minute?" Trayvon inquired as Peter heaved a sigh.
"Just one, I have to find a new prime minister so I can get back to my selection." Peter replied.
"I'll make it quick then, Kit Brenton dropped out; said the life wasn't for her." Trayvon explained.
"Just as well, I didn't really have a connection with her anyway." Peter shrugged as he took a drink of wine. "Anything else?"
"Yeah, I want you to cut Selina Zhou." The Baron insisted as he got an eyebrow raise from his brother.
"May I ask why?" The king inquired.
"Because I like her and she likes me." Trayvon declared.
"Come on Trayvon, she's not supposed to like anyone but me; it's freaking treason, dude."Peter shot back.
"You don't like her that way and I know it. If you tell me that you actually see a future with her, I will back off right now." Trayvon challenged. Peter didn't even try to argue; it would have been pointless. The king groaned as he looked up at his brother.
"All right, you want Selina, she's yours." Peter replied to a grateful Trayvon. "I will squash any rumors of infidelity that I hear of, but for the love of God, be careful!"
"We will be." The Baron vowed.
"We can't have people knowing that you developed feelings for each other before she was cut. It's treason and the King's Congress would call for her head." King Peter explained. "If you really want to play it safe, I'd say give it a month before the two of you are seen in public together."
"I understand, thank you bro." Trayvon said as Peter offered him a tired smile.
"After going through everything that we have...at least one of us deserves to be happy." Peter replied as he got up and embraced his brother in a tight hug.
Later that day.Selina Zhou was in her room when she heard a frantic knock at the door. She quickly got up to answer it, only to find that it was the Baron of Yonkers with a grin on his face.
"Your Grace, is everything all right?" Selina asked as he quickly stepped inside and closed the door.
"Yes, I just talked to Peter." Trayvon reported. "The first thing is that you're eliminated and the second thing is that he gave us his blessing to be together!"
"Oh my Gosh!" The girl from Labrador exclaimed as she wrapped her arms around Trayvon and kissed him deeply. "So, we're free and clear?"
"Not quite, his majesty said that we have to wait like a month, before we can go public." Baron Trayvon explained. "We can't let people know that we got together before you got cut. So, what I'm thinking is that when we go public...we can tell people that I decided to write to you; like a pen pal sort of thing. We became friends and then, we just fell in love."
"Do you think the people will buy that?" Miss Zhou asked, feeling guilty about lying to the entire nation.
"What choice do we have?" The Baron inquired as Selina knew that he had a point.
"I guess I better pack my bags." She said as he pressed his forehead close to hers.
"I'll write to you as often as I can and in a month, I'll come up and see you." He promised a she looked in her eyes.
"I believe you." Selina replied as they kissed deeply; feeling grateful that they had not ended up like the previous lovers who had defied the selection.
WE ARE DOWN TO THE FINAL FIVE! REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
