Status Updates From The Favorite (The Selection...

deciden quedarse a servir en el palacio....Carter como jefe de jardineros y Marlee como dama de compañía de America. Para sellar su historia, America les regala dos alianzas de oro auténtico para reemplazar sus gastados anillos de cordel asegurándoles que a partir de ese momento solo vendrán cosas buenas ... y ya no habra castas y ellos son los primeros ciudadanos sin casta.

Al amanecer, ambos son llevados encadenados a la plaza del palacio ante una multitud enfervorizada. Marlee ve a America en primera fila y siente un profundo odio hacia el rey Clarkson, el verdadero artífice de esa crueldad. Durante el brutal azote, Carter la alienta con gritos de amor hasta que Marlee, ensangrentada y superada por el dolor, se desmaya en el séptimo golpe.

El dolor de saber que se aman pero que las leyes de Illéa vuelven su romance peligroso. El beso de Marlee y Carter es pura resistencia.

Un recordatorio de cómo empezó todo nos deja ver la química tan natural entre Marlee y Carter como un oasis de autenticidad en medio de tanta superficialidad en palacio.

La empatía de Maxon en la celda demuestra por qué es un líder diferente, pero la crueldad del castigo público del rey es indignante.

De favorita del pueblo a la penumbra de una celda por el delito de amar. Qué inicio tan desgarrador y crudo para la historia de Marlee.

AND coming back to this

It was cute seeing Maxon, America, Marlee, and Carter their happy ever after plus them having healthy relationships was a GREEN FLAG compared to Maxon's fathers relationship.

We also got to see how people saw how Maxon was so in love with America. In her books we could tell Maxon liked her but in Marlee's POV we could see that Maxon was IN LOVE with America. Putting his hands behind his back so he would not get tempted to touch America, or even after their engagement Maxon would look at America determining his choice based on her happiness.

Marlee and Carter were the first people that were cast less. King Maxon gave them the ability to pick any occupation they wanted, Carter choosing to serve Maxon (grounds keeping) and Marlee deciding to be a lady in waiting for America. This was a really novela tbh. Romantic just falling in love a little too quick, sweet, had America and Maxon, sweet and healthy relationship.

Not them calling each other fiance because they are going to get married soon ahhhh they are cute and HEALTHY unlike Amberly and Clarkson or wtv Maxon's father's name was. I am guessing Carter and Marlee got married they refer to each other was wife and husband, Carter giving Marlee hand massages before sleeping at night to ease the pain.

Only thing I do not understand is why these characters fall in love so quickly. Carter is funny I see why Marlee fell in love with him but I do not get why these characters fall in love in 2 pages. Maxon really is a good man, he helped Marlee and Carter to stay in the castle and not die. Both Marlee and Carter pretend to be workers in the castle.

I like how it goes from past (Carter and Marlee falling in love) and present to them being punished because they were caught

It just shows how Carter and Marlee start falling in love. He gave her flowers and checked up on her after the fall (which wasn’t that serious it was just a bruise on the hip)

So far so good. Just about Marlee and Carter how they meet. (Marlee fell from the stairs and Carter carried her to the nurses office for “fun”) she was bored and knew Maxon liked America.
