The First

by MadgeD12

Damon Illea, the second and youngest son of Gregory Illea is devastated after his only brother died; the people are only just becoming accustomed to the caste system and need something to unite them. Thus The Selection was born. 35 girls from every caste are chosen to take part of the Selection and try for Illea, and the future Kings heart.

7. The Interviews

The Interviews

Hi guys, no elimination this week! Next week though there may be a top 15, I know some of your favourites and some least favourites, but keep em' comin! Sorry this is a bit short but I have a massive assignment due soon and I really need to work on that.

They all sat facing the cameras ready for the Capital Report. Their maids had obviously pulled out all the stops on hair, make-up and dresses. But as always, there was a stand out. Everybody else had opted for dark colour, mimicking the weather outside. Maya Wells on the other hand, mimicked her personality. Her shimmering bright yellow dress was like a tulip in a field of grass. The tone worked perfectly with her skin, and her hair was the envy of the other 19, in a tight, classy bun centred perfectly on the top of her head.

Naturally Damons eyes were drawn to Maya, but once Felix Fadaye announced they would be on air, he quickly readied himself for the screens, they would be showing his reaction the girls first interviews soon so he would have to look as though he was not focusing on one particular girl, not to look bias this early on. After the financial report and war updates from his father, Felix spoke up.

"Now I know what all of you are really waiting for, it's time for our first live interviews! First up I believe we haaaave Kiva Griffin, 8. Come on down Kiva…. So we have to get through this quickly, I have another 19 girls of course so let us begin! Tell me about you first impression of Damon, what you thought when you first met"

Kiva giggled, stupid, she thought I don't want to seem shallow, but how do I want to seem? "I thought he was very handsome and very funny too"

Many of the interviews went much the same, girls commenting in his looks and his humour. Telling Felix stories of home or of the Palace, or why they would like to make the palace their home. And just like there was a stand out in the looks, there was a stand out on the interviews. It was not this time Maya Wells but surprisingly Queenie Reynolds. She spoke with ease and was, in Damons opinion, very relatable. However that was merely Damons opinion. The King, The Queen and the country had a very different idea on who the stand out was.
