Macon's POV
I messed up. This could have all been avoided if I had just proposed at the Halloween ball. I wouldn't be stuck in this position. Obviously I am going to send her home. I mean what other choice do I have? And it hurts. Kriss, the girl whom was my second choice, my friend (or so I thought) betraying me like this. One look in her eyes and you can see she loves me. She just wants me so much that she forgot that love has to be both ways for it to be true. But now, I definently am not choosing her. She should have known that the moment she walked up to us with that crap. I'll chose Elise . America hates Celeste so I wouldn't do that to her. And anyways she would help with the war. Now I have to focus on not looking at America in hopes that I can focus on the task at hand.
"Father. Lady Kriss. I have come to a conclusion.",I state looking at both my father and Kriss. Kriss looks at America smugly as if she already knows she will win. As if. Once I'm king of we don't remove the castes, I want her to be a 7. Not an eight. Nobody deserves that.
" Lady America will go home and I will marry Lad-", I get cut oft by a squeal of joy.
"Oh maxon you I love you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!", says Kriss as she let's out another squeal.
I can't wait to wipe the smile off her face. I try my best to ignore to stares America is shooting my way. "I am truly sorry pay Kriss, but I refuse to marry someone who thinks it's OK to take me away from my true love. It is truly despicable.", I finish watching her emotions go on a rollercoaster.
"King Clarkson, tell him this is ridiculous!", states Kriss.
"Lady Kriss, I don't care who my son marries as long as it is not her.", he says glaring at america with hate.
"I plan to marry Elise, father. May I properly eliminate America please father?", I ask him. Knowing that he will be happy as long as she is gone within the next 20 minutes.
"Of course, but make it snappy, you do have a fiancee to attend to.", he says ignoring Kriss' pleads to stay.
I take America's hand gently and tug it notifying her to follow me. I take her towards Marlees old room.
Once I close the door I get myself mentally prepared for the challenge ahead.
