[COMPLETED] The royal palace was holding a competition choosing the most beautiful girls in the whole kingdom to compete. Their prize? Simple, they get to become the kingdom's next queen. 

Liana of Aris was happily living in her small town, she got free bread from their local baker, praising from her townspeople, and a family that loved her.

When the palace men came knocking on her door, she counted the benefits of joining the competition and went with it. It wasn't until she got to the palace that she discovered staying in the competition was harder than she thought. When she thought things couldn't get any worse, something horrible started happening in the palace. Only Liana noticed what was happening around her. 

Will anyone listen? 

Will she be able to save anyone?

Will she be safe?

***It may sound a lot like "The Selection" by Kiera Cass but trust me it's a lot different. If you liked "The Selection" or just the royalty genre, then I think you might like this.***

All the girls from the 17 till 19 got a letter, so included me to. Do you want me to read it? Here I go, "dear girls, here are speaking your next kings. This is a letter to all the girls in the village from the age 17 till 19. This is because we are 19. Because we are becoming kings we want of course someone next to us. You all get a chance to come to our castle and live here for a month. You will proof to us that you would be a good queen for your village. You will have to do tests and we will choose 2 of you at the last day of the month. 2 of course, BC we are two kings. We wish you luck and we see you in 3 days" interesting isn't it. I don't want to go, but my parents need the money if I become the queen. But... if I am going to do my best? I think not. Even if they are kings... it will not be real love...
