Summary
Edward is a Five, a caste that sits right at the poverty line and can only work in the artist and musician line of work. This wouldn't be a problem if his mom wasn't so sick, and in desperate need of real medicine; Real medicine that neither he nor Alphonse can afford.
Then there's the Selection, an 'equalizer of the caste system', as it collects 36 candidates of males and females to fight over the hand of Roy Mustang, the prince of Amestris. The winner becomes royalty, in other words, a One. Edward wants no part in the prince's harem, even if it might serve a chance to let him finally afford the medicine Trisha needs, and he's determine to save enough money on his own. It's not like he has a chance of being chosen anyway... but it seems that the universe has other plans in store for him.
Plans that include falling for a prince, fighting for the media's approval, and eliminating the competition through means of alliances, manipulation, and seduction.
