The Selection (Completed)

The Proposal

AT THE ROYAL PALACE

"We have to send them back and end the selection so it will not cause any chaos from the outside, we can cope up with some cover up regarding Ms. Jennie's sudden death and sure we already send a compensation for their family." The King calmly said.

"So what are we gonna do now your Majesty? We couldn't let them send immediately its only a few weeks since the selection had started and yet we haven't choose the right one for the princess throne, we need a heir as soon as possible." Prince Sooyoung explained made some sense for the always calmed King on his throne.

"We need to choose as soon as possible so I wanted Taeyeon's observation in regards with this immediate situation. I know he's observing the girls every now and then without being noticed by anyone and since he's the one who will choose his own wife though." The King answered.

"I guess I need to get back into my hometown then since my job here as the fake Prince has already ended." Prince Sooyoung held his wineglass in the mid-air gesturing a cheers from the King. He was invited by the King himself to participate on the annual selection made by the royal family since then but he will act as the real Prince in behalf so no one will suspect Taeyeon as the sneaky spy for the candidates to observed them well in regards with their attitude and behavior and find the deserving Princess of the Nation for the crown Prince.

"Thank you for your cooperation Lord Choi and kindly send my regards to your family back home and I already send a simple gratitude for you as well." The King smile before he gestured the couple of Eunuch to shown the gift that would fit the Lord Choi's taste and there reveals a limited edition, brand new and latest Lambourghini sports car model 2018 made Sooyoung gawks in surprise.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY MAJESTY!!!" Lord Sooyoung exclaimed as he forgot that he's still a nobleman but he jumped like a mad person due to extreme happiness to received a wonderful and expensive gift from the royal King.

"I hope you'll enjoy the ride." The King chuckled as he watched how the young noble man treasures his gift.

"I definitely enjoy it." Sooyoung responded back.

MEANWHILE

"So his Majesty decided that the selection will be ended soon?" Prince Taeyeon asked his loyal Eunuch Heechul who spilled the news from the main palace where the King resided.

"Yes and since you've been observing all of them well since thw first day, you have the rights to decide right away for your Crown Princess." Eunuch Heechul said still his head down low as a sign of respect.

"How about the investigation?" Prince Taeyeon asked.

"The Seoul Investigation Unit will be handling the crime and they will report the result as soon as possible." The Eunuch said.

"They must."

"So you had someone in your mind right now?" The Eunuch asked made the Crown Prince flustered recalling a certain woman who caught his attention since the first day.

"I'm not even sure but a certain girl already caught my interest and I think it will change my day when she finally move in with me." Taeyeon said dreamily as he recall their moments together.

"She must be a very wonderful girl."

"Indeed and I want her to share the same university as mine since the semester is just around the corner." Taeyeon looked at his personal calendar of events and remember that he had to enroll for college but together with his chosen one.

"Seems like you're too excited." The Eunuch teases the flustered Prince.

"Shut up or you'll be ban here." Taeyeon fires back made Heechul shut his mouth.

Everyone is nervous at the selection ceremony even the citizen of Seoul patiently waiting for the announcement of choosing the next Crown Princess and soon-to-be wife of the only heir of the Royal Crown. Nobody saw the real Prince publicly aside from the fact that Lord Sooyoung pretend to be the Prince in behalf of Taeyeon and a few days ago, they spread the news about hailing the real identity of their Prince made all of them turned into confusion so everyone of them attended the incoming ceremony without knowing about the recent issue of Jennie's sudden death that they kept confidential until now. Finally, everyone's attention caught by the sound of a trumpet revealing the King and Queen of the Nation together with the elegant and gorgeous candidates wearing their expensive and colorful hanbok that represents their district.

"Its a good thing that this shit will end now I want to go home immediately or else I will endlessly whine at Daddy!" Jessica forcefully smile through the awaiting crowd but honestly she had no mood for it and choose to played her role well.

"Keep your mouth shut unnie or we'll be dedad if they heard you." Krystal whispered at her older sister beside her.

"Whatever." Jessica roll her eyes.

"Seems like her death freed us." Choa said bluntly made all of them looks at her suspiciously.

"Stop staring at me! I only want my freedom nothing else but I would not do something stupid just to gain it." Choa eyed them and explain herself.

"Well, I heard the investigation went well and we can finally knew who thw culprit was." Hyo Joo butted in made someone felt nervous and sweating so much.

"Are you alright Juniel?" Jieun asked the fidgetting girl beside her and held her hand into hers.

"Y-Yeah, j-just t-tired." Juniel answer shortly before she turned her attention through the crowd and pushed Jieun's hand away, she felt disturb and panic when she had some secrets with herself.

"I want to see my father and brother." Miyoung searched for them as she couldn't keep herself calm.

"OH, I FINALLY SEE THEM!!" Miyoung waved her hand towards her father and brother who was smiling back at her as Taeyeon watched her in silence before his name finally called in the stage for introduction. Everyone was surprise when he revealed his true self as the Crown Prince especially the candidates whom their mouth agape widely couldn't believe with the fact that they've been ignoring his presence because of the thought that he was just Sooyoung's random friends.

"NO WAY!!!!" Choa and Jessica screamed in unison when they remember their rude behavior towards Taeyeon.

"So the selection has finally come to an end and I, Kim Taeyeon, the Crown Prince of this Nation will reveal the name of the chosen one or should I say my fiancee and will be the next Crown Princess to be loved by all of you." Everyone cheers in excitement from the Prince speech.

"Now, I will not call her name but I will stand infront of the woman I choose personally, is that clear??" Taeyeon asked the crowd.

"DDAAEEEE!!" The crowd yelled.

"Well, this certain woman caught my heart since the first day we've met and I never imagine myself with hee but after I watched her from afar I've seen my future with her." Taeyeon confessed sweetly made everyone touch especially the candidates.
