It is already 3 months after my coronation ceremony and my schedule has been crazy since then! Grandma and Joe went on their honeymoon after my coronation and got back a few weeks ago. I am still not used to them being married, but that takes time.

Nicholas and I have been dating since a couple weeks before my coronation. Everything has been going well with us and he moved to the castle the week after my coronation.

Tonight, I have my first ball to coordinate as Queen. Grandma has helped me a little, since she loves planning parties. It is a spring themed ball and around 60 people will be there.

All of a sudden, I hear a knock at my door. "Come in." I say. Nicholas enters wearing his suit for the ball and he looks incredibly handsome. "Oh, hey Babe." I say as he enters my bedroom. "Are you going to get ready for the ball?"

"Well, I was about to, but then you came in." I respond with a smirk.

He laughs and puts his arms around my waist. "Don't let me get in your way then." He kisses my cheek and goes to sit in my sitting room.

I go to my closet to get my ball gown for tonight. It is white with pink and blue flowers on it. Nicholas got it for me for our 3 month anniversary.

Once I get my dress and jewelry on, I go open the door to the sitting room to show Nicholas. "What do you think?"

His eyes light up as I enter. "You look absolutely stunning." Nicholas stands up to see my outfit clearly.

I go into my bathroom to fix my hair, since Paolo only does special events. Nick follows me to my bathroom and hugs me from behind. "I am going to see if everything for the ball is ready. Don't take too long up here!"

I roll my eyes playfully, since he is always worrying about me. "Bye Nick."

After I leave Mia's room, I rush to Queen Clarisse's suite and knock on her door. "Come in." Her Majesty answers.

"Hello Nicholas. Is everything okay?"

She and Joe are both in their suite getting ready.

"Oh, yes. Everything is great."

"Why have you come to see me?"

"Well, I wanted to ask you both a question."

"Let's sit down." Joe motions to a couch in their room and all three of us sit down.

"I want to ask you for your permission to ask Mia to marry me."

Their faces change to a happier look, as they were expecting something like this.

"Are you sure that you want to marry Mia?" Joe asks sternly.

"I haven't been more sure of anything ever." I reply.

"You know that being married to a queen is going to be hard. You need to be supportive of Mia." Queen Clarisse adds in.

"Are you going to take good care of her?" Joe asks.

"Of course. I will try my best to take care of her." I am on the edge of my seat wondering what the answer will be.

"You have our permission." They reply and smile.

I am immediately delighted, since they both gave me permission to marry Mia. "Thank you so much! This is the best day of my life." I stand up and give them both a hug.

"Do you want to see the ring?" I ask with a smile beaming on my face.

"Of course." Queen Clarisse answers.

I reach into my pocket and get out a small black box with the ring. I open it to reveal a beautiful diamond ring with a ring of smaller diamonds around it.

"That is a beautiful ring." The Queen beams with joy.

"Nice choice." Joe gives me a pat on the back, knowing he isn't big on showing too much emotion.

"If you don't mind, I am going to go check on the ball, so Mia doesn't get suspicious." Putting the ring back into my pocket, I leave Clarisse and Joe's suite.
