A/N: I only own OCs

The Reign of Maddox, kizzyfur, & nattiebroskette- Thank you for reviewing! Any suggestions are appreciated and considered :)

Brie POV

We were in the gardens and it was so nice outside. Trinity and Grace were the nicest people here, other than the staff, and the other girls were just bitches.

"I am so lucky to have been chosen." Trinity said and I nodded and Grace smiled.

"I didn't think they would choose anyone from my status." Grace admitted.

"What are you?" Trinity asked her.

"Artist." she said and I was surprised. I thought that she was something higher than that; I was surprised as well.

"I wish I had a real talent." Trinity said.

"I'm sure you do… you just have to find it." Grace said. She was really nice to everyone. She was probably going to be my biggest competition.

"Oh, look, the guards train out here." I said as we all looked back to see the guards doing laps. They were all shirtless.

"He's cute!" Trinity said as a brown headed guard passed by; I'm sure he heard her because he smirked.

"Who do you think is cute?" Grace asked me and I shrugged as a blonde guy with a bushy beard passed me.

"Him, but remember we have the prince." I said as we all giggled.

"Miss Grace?" a servant said and we all looked up. The man was holding a tray with an envelope on it. Grace took it and gave him a smile before he left.

"What does it say?" Trinity asked her as she opened it.

"Nosey." Grace said and we all laughed.

"Well, apparently, my sister didn't cry so he wants to see me." she said and we both smirked at her.

"Shut up." she mumbled and we busted out laughing.

Dean POV

I was so glad to hear that Grace's sister didn't cry. I had felt something with Grace, and I hoped that one day she would see me as more than a friend. I contemplated having a person find whoever hurt her, but I knew if she found out it probably wouldn't over well. I was tired of looking at diplomatic stuff so I decided to take a walk.

I passed the gardens and saw Trinity, Grace, and Brie talking. They were all pretty, but Grace still stuck out the most. She had something about her that stuck out. I know that my mother had seen it too. My father just wanted me to be married, but reminded me daily that I didn't compare to my older brother, Roman.

"See one you like?" a voice asked me and I knew it was Seth. I turned to see him, Magnus, and Daniel standing behind me.

"They are all nice to look at." I said and they all chuckled.

"Hey, at least we know that we are up to their standards when you don't pick them." Magnus said and I nodded. I knew that soldiers were on the same level as they would be. I also knew that they would all be mini celebrities once they were sent home after I made my choice.

"Come on, we can all go work out." Seth said and I was happy with the opportunity to join them. I didn't want to work anymore right now.

Grace POV

I was happy to get a few minutes to myself before dinner. I had to dress up and I still wasn't used to having all the help.

"So, we hear that you will have a date with the prince." Paige said and I chuckled.

"Yes, I lost the bet." I said with a smirk.

"I think its a good thing." Tamina said and I nodded.

"Are you two married?" I asked them and they looked surprised that I was asking them questions.

"Um, I am." Paige said and I nodded.

"That's awesome… how long?" I asked her. She was completely taken back that I wanted to know anything about her.

"Two years… he is a cook." she said and I nodded.

"What about you?" I asked Tamina.

"No one yet." she said and I nodded.

"You will." I said and she smiled at me.

I walked to dinner with Trinity. Brie wasn't feeling well and took her food in her room. We were all talking amongst ourselves as the royal family ate at the other end of the table.

"Ladies, we need to tell you that we will have guest on Saturday so everyone is required to be on the Women's room." Stephanie said and we all nodded.

"When is your date?" Renee asked me. I was taken back because it was the first time she had spoken to me.

"I am not sure yet." I said and she nodded.

"Enjoy it… it will be the only one you get. You are trash." Eva Marie said.

"Thanks for the encouragement. I have my personality to get me through it. I am sorry that I didn't dye my hair some outrageous color just to be seen." I shot back. She looked pissed; Trinity was beside me with a smirk.

"Bitch." she mumbled and went back to eating.

"Nice." Renee mouthed to me and I smiled at her.

I got done with dinner and headed back to my room. I told Paige and Tamina they could go. They were still reluctant, but they listened. I changed into my comfy clothes and walked out on the balcony. I heard a knock and figured it was Brie or Trinity. I opened the door to see a confused Dean.

"Where are your maids?" he asked me.

"I sent them to their rooms. They need their time too." I said and he nodded.

"Well, I want a guard outside your door then." he said and I shrugged.

"Come on, i want to show you something." he said and I looked down.

"Don't I need to change?" I asked him and he shook his head no.

He took my head and started to lead me somewhere. I didn't want to admit it, but it felt ice to hold his hand. He lead me around and up a lot of stairs. We finally came to a door and he looked at me.

"I hope you like this." he said as he opened the door. I had no idea what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed as we stepped onto the roof. We could see the city, the mountains, and the stars. I was amazed at how pretty it was up here.

I was looking around when Dean pulled me to sit beside him. I was slightly surprised to see him pulling out a cigarette.

"Who knew the prince was a bad boy?" I asked as we both laughed. I was comfortable around Dean and he must have been around me… smoking wasn't exactly legal.
