   Summary

   “This year we’re hosting Illéa’s first dual selection! Inviting 30 men and 30 women to the palace to compete for the hands of our charming royal twins: Prince Maxon and Princess Melis Schreave!”

   *****
   “Are you sure about this?”

   “Why not? It’s the only way to protect my camera-shy brother. Besides, it’s not like I don’t have my own stake in this. That’s why we both made the plan.”

   The Plan (Dual selection, Dual goals, Dual-pronged attack)
   Goals: Abolish the castes, Bring lgbtq issues into the mainstream (Secondary goal: Change the tradition of the selection and arranged marriages)
   -Use the ‘dual selection’ to bring larger numbers of people from lower castes into the castle
   -Influence the media to analyze the possible queer implications of our ‘dual selection’
   -Melis to be seen being friendly with one of the female participants from a lower caste, Maxon to be seen with a male participant from the lower castes
   -Ride the media wave and work to change the law and the tradition of the Selection
   -So Do Not fall in love
   -I repeat do not fall in love

   Spoiler: They fall in love
