A/N: I only own OCs
The Reign of Maddox, anonymous, & nattiebroskette- Thank you for taking the time to review! Sorry for the short chapter.
Dean POV
I was sitting in court the next day as I listened to them talk about new rules and other things. I really didn't care, but I had to try. I really didn't want to rule; I just wanted to disappear into the darkness.
"Have you found a girl you like yet?" my father asked me and I shrugged.
"Don't shrug." he hissed at me and I sat up a little straighter.
"You can take as long as you like, but remember you don't have many to choose from so choose wisely." he said and I nodded.
"I will." I reassured him.
We were listening when troops came storming into the room.
"We are under attack." they said and two of them grabbed father. I went with Seth as we made our way through the back passages and came into the large panic room. I saw the girls in there and mother. I hugged mother as the girls looked frightened.
"Go comfort them." my mother whispered and I nodded.
I walked over to Eva Marie and she threw herself at me. I sighed, but hugged her. I told her it would be ok before prying her off me. I moved onto AJ, who seemed overly confident, and was annoyed that this was taking too long. I finally got to Grace last. She was sitting in the corner with a girl that I didn't recognize.
"Grace?" I said and she looked at me with a smile.
"Who is this?" I asked as I noticed the girl had on a maid uniform.
"This is Paige. She was with me and I wanted my maid with me. She deserves to be taken care of as well." she said and I nodded.
"Very nice to meet you, Paige." I said and she gave me a small, but nervous nod.
"Are you alright?" I asked Grace and she nodded.
"Yes, thank you, but you may want to check on Eva again. You can always have the guards pull her off you. She seems to be very distraught." she said and I nodded.
"See you later, sweetheart." I said and she shot me a glare. I had found out the other night, on the roof, that she didn't like being called that. I liked getting under her skin.
Grace POV
I walked back to my room with Brie and Trinity after the raid ended. We could see some damage. They had written 'We are coming' on the walls in red paint. They had ransacked rooms, but our were unhurt.
"It was scary." Brie said and I nodded.
"Did the prince comfort you?" Trinity asked us and we bother nodded.
"He is very caring." I said. I wanted him to find someone good, and I knew that he took our friendship very seriously. I wanted to help him since he was nice enough to keep me here.
"He asked Eva to walk with him tonight." Trinity said and Brie looked almost offended.
"No worries… she's completely fake. He has to see it." Brie finally said and we were laughing as Stephanie walked up.
"Ladies, we have a special report tonight. You have to attend, and please dress up. The maids have been notified." she said and quickly walked away.
"I guess we should get ready." I said and they nodded.
I walked into my room and they had laid out a rust colored dress for me to wear tonight. I was still not used to having clothes this nice and being able to wear the nicest things possible. I showered and let them get me ready. They curled my hair and let it hang in waves down my back. I had my name tag pinned on me and walked out.
"Lady Grace?" a voice said and I looked up to see an officer standing there.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"I am here to escort you tonight. They have doubled security after the raid this morning." he said and I nodded. I noted that his name tag had 'Magnus' on it.
"Thank you." I said as he offered me his arm. I noticed that he had a different accent than I did. I guessed he was apart of the trade program that we had with other countries to learn new techniques within the army.
We walked in there and people were filling in. I noticed that Mike Miz was already here. He was the reporter/host of the weekly show. He was married to Maryse, the biggest celebrity from this country, and he was very popular. He was going to meet with us soon because the weekly was going to be on the girls in the selection.
I watched as the royal family came in a few minutes later. Dean and I caught each other's gaze and smiled. I sat there as the report went on. The king was reassuring the public that the rebels were not gaining any ground, but to stay vigilant. The show ended and we were dismissed to go to our rooms. They wanted us to eat in our rooms because of the clean up process.
"Lady Grace?" a voice said and I turned to see a servant looking at me.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"The prince would like you to join him for dinner." he said and I nodded. I couldn't reject the offer, and it was a good thing that I didn't want to anyways.
A/N:Please take a second to review.
