Millions of thoughts are running through my mind. Caning your son is one thing that I can't stand, but making sure that a little girl who has done nothing to you or your country is another. Since the Report I knew that King Clarkson was nothing more than a snake, but I would have never expected him to do something like this, especially when Addie's parents were the one's who helped Illea with the war in New Asia. With all of these thoughts running in my head, I can't help but wonder how many people the king has hurt. Maxon once told me that the king mistreated Queen Amberly, and though he told me that he would never lay a hand on her, now I'm starting to rethink that. Someone has to know about this. Maybe Ava, she's a Queen now.
" How," I stop for a moment, thinking of good words to say. " Why would he do such a thing? Addie's parents have to know right?"
June's brown eyes reach mine and as I look at the other princesses in the room I am only able to sense one thing. Fear. These girls have know King Clarkson all of their lives, and after my stunt at the Report I saw his true form. These girls are also scared of him, and their parents might be as well. I know that every family isn't perfect, that there is a big secret that no one should find out, but our Royal family must have the biggest.
" It was a while ago America, and I don't think that you would want to know the reason as to why she is in the chair." June stops for a moment to look over at Fray who has lost her strong and proud face. I see a tear fall down her face, and she doesn't do anything about it. " Addie's mother know the reason, and if you really pay attention to things, Addie's mother really hate's her. The king doe's know. He loves Addie, and would not take things well."
" Why did Clarkson do that?" I ask without a smile, hoping that someone will tell me.
" Clarkson and Queen Rose has an affair. Addie saw them, and that was Clarkson's way of shutting her up." Fray's is shaking and I know that she is a minute away from breaking into tears. " This is the reason you have to become Queen America. People trust you, and we know that you aren't cruel."
" The Emperor and Empress of New Asia are smart enough to know that trusting Clarkson is a bad idea." another princess says.
Again I am unable to speak. New Asia doe's hate Illea, they just don't trust King Clarkson. I know that I love Maxon more that I have ever loved anyone before, next to my family, but I just can't stand the fact tat King Clarkson would be my new father. Knowing all of this is making me sick, and I know that someone of higher power has to know. One of he princesses has to know about this.
" Does one of you parent's know?" I ask.
A blond girl come's my way, and I know that she is West's younger sister Alice. " We would be having a new World War as soon as the words fall out of our lips. America, as much as-" though her voice is warm and soothing and calm I have to find out more, and help Addie as much as I can.
" We can't live in fear anymore. If we all are able to tell the truth, then we would be able to Addie and lock up Clarkson for good." my voice is stronger now, and anger rushes over me. I am sick of Clarkson pushing me around and scaring us all. I am not wake, and I will fight for what I believe in.
" Who would believe a few girl's? America, our family's aren't perfect too."
" You will be Queen's next. Fight for what you believe in. I know that I'm just Five, but together we can change things." I stop and look into Alice's eyes, making sure that she is listening to me. " Addie's father will believe us."
The girls looks at one another, fear still in their eyes. The only thing that is scaring me right now is that these girl's might not fight. I might be the only one who is fighting for Addie, a girl that I'm not even friends with.
" I'll help you." Fray says as she get's up.
The other's don't say anything, but they do nod. I'm not fighting for only Maxon now, I'm fighting to help my friends. Maybe I'm just a Five, but my cast won't be dragging me down now. If anything, I should take it for advantage.
What have the other Royals done? Will Maxon trust America?
