Chapter 1

The sun streams into the room and I am awakened by how it flutters onto my face. When I first wake up I realize that Maxon has already left for his morning meetings. Which is fine I just wish he was with me more often sometime, but he is king so I understand.

I get up to start my day as queen. I still can't believe I am queen even after several months. I'm still astonished when people call me Majesty instead of America. My maids come in and help get me ready for the day. I have two meetings with Silvia today about a couple different events happening in the next two weeks.

I eat my breakfast, then I head to my office to finish up a few notes before my meeting with Silvia. Once I finish Silvia walks in.

"Hello Silvia how are you this morning?"

I say in my most formal tone yet it still sounded so informal and unqueenly.

" I'm fine your majesty thank you"

she is still formal and I can see that she misses Queen Emberly very much.

"So I was thinking maybe we could start by discussing the annual dinner event that is happening at the end of the week"

I try my best to sound confident and authoritative, but I'm not sure I accomplished that very well.

"Yes I think that would be a good place to start"

Silvia says as she sits down across from me.

"Well for the plates we could have the China with the flowers on it that was used when I was in my selection"

I say a little more confident

" yes that seems like a very good choice Queen America."

After I was finished with my meeting I head off to lunch where I hopefully get to see Maxon. I have missed him very much and would like to see him at some point today.

As I'm walking to our room a maid stops me and gives me a note.

"It's from the king" she says

"oh thank you" I say with kindness and thankfulness.

My dear,

I was thinking for lunch maybe you could meet me in the garden instead of our room today.

Love,

Maxon

When I got to the garden I saw him standing there in his suit by our bench. He turned when he heard the doors open and he smiled at me. He looks as handsome as ever, and all I want to do is kiss his cute handsome face all day, but unfortunately I have to pace myself.

"There you are my dear" he says with the biggest smile on his Face

" oh don't start Mr." I say sternly. He takes me in his arms and kisses the top of my head.

"How are you this afternoon?" He asks tenderly " I am fine, but I missed you all morning" I say sadly.

We eat our food and talk about our mornings.

"So how did your meeting go?"

I ask, he looks at me and smiles

"it went quite well, we are so close to finishing the last elimination of the caste system."

I look at him with pleasure and say.

"That's really good Maxon!"

He looks very proud and pleased with himself. It's almost funny!

"Ok let's not talk about work for a bit" he says kindly

"we'll what do you want to talk about?"

Instead of talking he kisses my lips. Very gently, but passionately.

I kiss him back and wish we could do this forever.
