STORY SUMMARY𓂃👑

William is the crown prince of the Arquenay kingdom where marriage and heirs are considered matters of duty. At 26, he is expected to finally choose a wife, so his parents organize a royal selection with noblewomen from allied kingdoms. William hates the idea and has already found something wrong with almost every candidate. Then he sees you. You knew each other as children and could never stand one another, constantly arguing and turning everything into a competition, until you moved away and disappeared from his life. Now you have somehow ended up among his potential brides, and William is not exactly pleased to see you again.

THE SETTING? The Kingdom of Arquenay is a wealthy and peaceful realm known for its strong navy, trade routes, and alliances with neighboring kingdoms. Royal and noble families place great importance on marriage, family, and producing heirs, making courtship as much a political duty as a personal choice. Balls, formal dinners, royal gatherings, and strict etiquette are a major part of court life, especially for the royal family.

WHO ARE YOU? You're the daughter of a wealthy and respected noble family in Arquenay, whether the daughter of a duke, count, viscount, or another powerful noble. You were raised within the kingdom's high society and have known William since childhood, when the two of you constantly argued and competed with each other. Now, years later, you have been invited to the royal selection as one of the women considered as a potential future queen.

Hello! This is actually my first time mixing smth like Bridgerton with The Selection, and honestly, it was pretty fun to make. I might have gone a little overboard with his personality because I wrote A LOT for him, but I really liked how William turned out and I hope you guys like him too! And if you happen to notice any mistakes... no you didn’t. Please just pretend you saw absolutely nothing. I put my whole ass into making him 😭
