I DO NOT OWN THE SELECTION SERIES. SHOUT OUT TO RUBY CASABLANCA FOR CREATING THIS CHARACTER.
Schreave Palace. Province of Angeles. 3 months into the selection.
After the pleasant trip to the theater with Lucrezia Bellincioni, Yesenia Avalos, or Everly Smallwood as everyone at the palace knew her, had to find someway to top it when Crown Princess Melody Schreave chose her for the next solo date. Yesenia decided that for her solo date with the Princess, she wanted to do something that was food related. Therefore, the two women decided to have a cake tasting. The royal kitchen had been hard at work as 5 rich and delicious cakes were baked and delivered to the parlour that had been selected for the date.
"I have to say, this is definitely one of the best dates that I have been on so far." Melody insisted as she drooled over the decadent cakes.
"I have never seen this much cake in my entire life." Yesenia admitted, clearly impressed by the spread laid out before her.
"There's vanilla and chocolate and red velvet and angel food and even coconut cream!" Melody exclaimed as she went through each different cake which was as tall as a stereotypical wedding cake and completely covered in whipped frosting.
"I don't know about you, but I'm gonna have a slice of that coconut cream." The maid said as she took a fork and dug in; enjoying that first bite and letting out a moan of approval.
"I'm taking charge of the angel food cake." The princess replied as she too proceeded to stuff her face with first class cake.
"This is so good!" Yesenia exclaimed, which earned a laugh from Melody.
"So Everly, considering that you were born into wealth, you are probably the one the can relate most to my situation." She remarked which caused Yesenia's smile to fade.
"I suppose so." she replied as she kept eating cake.
"That's good because whoever wins isn't just going to be my husband or my wife, they will also be a prince or princess of Illèa." Melody clarified.
"That seems pretty obvious." Yesenia shot back, sounding a bit on the sarcastic side. Melody seemed a bit taken aback which Miss Avalos did not need, so she put down the cake and motioned the princess to come closer. She did and Yesenia gently kissed her on the lips. Melody was a bit surprised, but soon settled into it.
"You're good at kissing Everly." Melody replied as the false Smallwood pulled the heir to the Illèan throne close.
"And don't you forget it." Yesenia remarked as she took control and continued to kiss Melody.
Schreave Palace. Province Of Angeles. Later that evening.
Little did Yesenia Avalos know that her double life as Fennley heiress Everly Smallwood was about to come to an end. King Maxon, second of his name, was in his office, overlooking royal transcripts when his personal servant: Benvolio Jackson walked in. His facial expression saying that he had serious news to tell his majesty.
"Benvolio, what is it?" The King inquired, his tone bordering on annoyance.
"The RBI picked up something on the girl from Fennley." Benvolio replied.
"Oh really?" Maxon asked, suddenly intrigued.
"We did a background check and it seems that girl is not who she appears." Benvolio replied as he handed the King a file. He opened to reveal a dossier on a young woman named Yesenia Avalos.
"Who is this bitch?" Maxon asked angrily.
"She is the maid for the Smallwood family." Jackson explained. "Her parents were originally from the province of Dominica before they settled in Clermont. Her mother died in childbirth and her father was a drug dealer who got killed in a gang shootout. Avalos passed through the foster system for a few years before slipping through the cracks. Eventually, she was hired as a maid for the dowager Smallwood in Fennley."
"So, Everly Smallwood doesn't exist?" Maxon asked.
"She did exist, your majesty." Benvolio answered as he showed the King a picture of a wet and decomposed body of a young white female.
"Who is this?" The king asked again.
"That is the real Everly Smallwood." The secretary answered again. "The gents found her body in a pond on the property, it had been weighed down with stones. The autopsy showed that she ingested a large amount of rat poison over a few months. Edithe was arrested and after 15 minutes, she confessed that she was the mastermind behind the deception. However, she insists that she did not know her daughter had been murdered and is willing to sign an confession."
"Good, I want that whore in handcuffs!" Maxon snarled as he quickly wrote up an arrest warrant.
"It will be done, my king." Benvolio insisted as he took the warrant and went to do the King's bidding.
TIME HAS RUN OUT FOR YESENIA AVALOS, WHO ELSE WILL SUFFER THE WRATH OF THE KING? REVIEWS NEEDED AND APPRECIATED.
