Unknown POV

I walk down the hallway, careful to be quiet. The palace has very strict security. Anything that looks suspicious could be deemed suspicious. The last thing I need is a bunch of guards on my tail. It was difficult to get into the castle in the first place. But now that I'm here, I don't plan on leaving until the job is done. And that could take a while.

I see a girl scurry down the hallway. She's wearing a big poofy dress, pink in color. She gives me a wide smile and I wave back. I tuck my camera into a pocket in my dress. The Selection was a perfect way for me to get into the castle without raising suspicion. And lots of the girls already know me.

"Hello, Silena," I say to the girl. Her long black hair goes with her pink dress perfectly.

She gives me an even bigger smile.

"Hi. Did you hear that the Prince has already gone on two dates? And six girls have been eliminated. It's going by much faster than I thought. Don't you agree?" Silena says, talking rapidly. She always has the latest gossip, which could come in handy in the future.

"Yes. It's peculiar that there has already been a big elimination. But I'm sure that you'll go far, Silena. You are beautiful and nice," I say, laying on the praise thick.

Silena blushes. "You're too kind. I just hope that I'm not sent home too soon. I like the palace and I like the prince."

"I like it here too," I tell her. In ways that you wouldn't believe.

"Well I have to go. But I'll talk to you later!"

"Bye," I say before heading down the hall again.

When Silena gets out of sight, I duck behind a large tapestry, where a door is hidden. Only guards and the royal family know about these hiding places. Well them and now, me.

I open the door slowly. My long peach gown is a little dirty on the bottom from the time I was ducking behind a rose bush in the garden, spying on the prince. When he reached for the garden hose, I thought that he had seen me. But he didn't. And I had the chance to take all of those pictures.

I take out my camera and turn it on. Photos of the prince and the Selected girl fill my screen: them eating dinner together, the girl sitting alone, them arguing, play sword fighting, dumping salad over each other, them squirting the girl with the hose, them kissing underwater. All these pictures will be good evidence against the royal family. Especially the stuck up little prince. The end of their reign will come soon enough. And mine will begin. No one will be able to stop me from reaching this.

The room is dark. I turn on the light switch and see that someone else is already in here. I smile at the newly assigned guard. His blonde hair seems illuminated in the light. His blue eyes narrow when he sees me enter, but release when he realizes it's me.

"Hello, brother," I say. He looks at me and grins.

Oh the suspense! Who do you think this mysterious girl is? (And yes, it's a girl.) I'll also give you another hint. It's one of the remaining Selected. If anyone gets it right, they will get a shoutout.
