Chapter Eleven
For the first time in a couple weeks I don't wake up to bright lights, and the smell of medicine and sterile supplies. I smell the sweet and spicy smell of Maxon, the one smell I will never ever forget. I sit up on instinct looking around to take in my surroundings. I know that I am in Maxon's bedroom instead of my old hospital room where I spent months withering away to nothing. I seem to be alive, though so what does that mean for the poison? As I look around I know I am alone, and part of me is disappointed that Maxon is not here.
"Princess America!" Someone exclaims coming toward me. I look around to see my maids coming at me with wide smiles, and looks of relief.
"Hello girls," I say, my voice thickly coated with sleep. The girls surrounded me on the bed all ecstatic to see me from what I can see. Lucy is gazing down at me so happy she has tears in her eyes.
"Oh, Princess we thought you were never going to wake up!" Mary exclaims "Prince Maxon has been so worried for you, but he refused to let the doctors take you back to the hospital after they gave you the cure! It was absolutely dreadful to see the Prince so unhappy." I give a small smile to my maids, it was heartwarming to know they worry so much about Maxon and I.
"Where is Prince Maxon, girls?" I ask, looking around to double check he was not any where around the room.
"He's at a meeting discussing the coronation." Anne replies like we were speaking about what was for dinner tonight. My eyes widen to the size of baseballs and I stare at her.
"Coronation? Maxon's coronation isn't supposed to be for a couple of years, did something happen to King Clarkson?" I ask, shock laced thickly in with my words. This is all very surprising to me, and I can't believe what my maids are saying. They all burst into joyful giggles, looking at each others will amusement all over their face. "What are you girls giggling about?" I ask, pure confusion on my face.
"It's not Prince Maxon's coronation." Lucy giggles, "It's Prince Mason's, you know the one in England." They all burst into giggles again. I raise my eyebrows.
"Mason's?" I ask, now really confused. Anne's face suddenly turns grave.
"Yes, the King developed a rare kind of disease, and is quickly fading away. Some people think it's La- um I mean Maggie's doing because the King wouldn't agree to Maggie marrying Prince Mason." My eyes widen when I think of it. It does sound like a very strong possibility considering the deep hatred Maggie had for the English royal family.
"That's terrible." I whisper thinking of what poor Mason and Amelia must be going through right now. Poor Queen Isabella must be crushed at the loss of her husband. A red hot feelings shoots through my body, and I can only identify as a deep hatred I have for Maggie.
"Yes, it is, but there is nothing to be done about it now, Princess America so don't worry yourself to much about it. I must go get Prince Maxon, he requested for me to get him when you work up." Anne said backing up toward the door. She disappears into the hallway leaving Mary and Lucy alone with me. The ladies giggle and then go back to doing their chores. I lay back thinking about the pain Mason must be going through right now. His father is dying and they are expecting him to take over for him in a blink of an eye. How harsh can those adviser's be? I though our advisers were harsh, but nothing could be as bad at this. Mason hasn't even had a chance to live, and they are already taking over. The double doors to Maxon's room open grandly, and my husband strides in with a wide grin on his face.
"Maxon." I gasp out, my throat starting to feel raw and itchy from lack of moister. Maxon sits on the side of the bed, and pulls me tight into his comforting arms. I wrap my arms around him, cocooning myself into his radiating warmth.
"I am so glad to see your beautiful eyes again, Mrs. Schreave." Maxon whispers into my hear, pressing a kiss right about my ear. I let out a scratchy giggle, and earn myself a confused look from Maxon.
"Water," I croak, and Maxon immediately understands. Lucy hurries forward with a cup of ice water, before leaving the room with Mary. I greedily gulp down the water allowing the ice cold liquid cool my aching throat. Maxon watches me with an interesting, and love facial expression.
"You're so beautiful." He compliments, stroking my cheek with his thumb. My cheeks burn with a bright red blush at the compliment Maxon graces me with. Maxon laughs at my blush and kisses my cheek.
"IS it true about Mason?" I ask him suddenly wanting to know the truth about my friend. Maxon's face turns grave, and he sighs as his arms tighten around me.
"Yes, unfortunately it is true. It's terrible that he has to step into his father's footsteps so early in life. As much as my father and I don't get along I am lucky that I get to live my own life with my beautiful life before taking on the whole entire country." Maxon places a tender kiss on my forehead.
"Do we get to go to the coronation?" I ask, wanting to see Mason. Maxon kisses the top of my head, and it surprises me that he doesn't feel threatened by Mason. Isn't being jealous like a male thing? I will never understand it, but then again I was jealous of Kriss.
"If you feel better by next week when we are set to leave then you will be going, but I don't want you traveling if you aren't well enough." Maxon responds, kissing my forehead again.
"I'll be alright!" I say, pushing confidence in my voice. Maxon laughs holding me tight to him.
"I know you will, my darling."
