Hey guys! Here's Chapter 4 and it takes place in the future(3 years into the future). This chapter is the first time writing in Maxon's P.O.V. A little bit of Kriss' P.O.V. is included as well.
Three years later…
America Singer and her family are Twos because of the record company she signed with. She is a successful famous singer who the people of Illea recognizes as one of their biggest celebrities.
Prince Maxon married Lady Kriss Ambers in the spring following the end of the Selection. King Clarkson is still the King of Illea, but he is supposed to pass on the crown soon.
Maxon's P.O.V.
I'm supposed to become the King in the next few months. I never thought that my father would agree to anything like that. He does like having his power. I suppose I won't have any actual power because he'll probably be breathing down my neck every second.
I was in a meeting with some advisers, discussing some things that would need to be done once I became King. One of those things involved an heir.
"Your Majesty, we don't know how much you and Princess Kriss have talked about this, but the people of Illea will expect an heir, possibly multiple heirs. There does have to be another King after you." The advisers all nodded in agreement.
Heirs, right. To be honest, every time I tried to bring this up, Kriss would try her best to stay off of this topic. Another confession that I must make is that Kriss and I hadn't even done it.
Before our wedding, she told me that she's not that type of woman and only will do it when we try for children. At the status of a prince and princess, we didn't need children. But soon, we are to become King and Queen of Illea. I don't want to force her into anything, but we are expected to deliver heirs.
The meeting went on for a little bit, when I could finally leave. I was supposed to have another meeting right after with father, but his meeting was taking a little longer than expected which was fine with me. I had some free time.
I decided to visit Kriss in her office. She was always working so hard. Some company wouldn't hurt.
I went up to her door, which was slightly open, but I heard her talking. At first it sounded okay, like she was talking to a friend, but then it started sounding very wrong.
"Oh, I am, he probably thinks I love him. I've been able to keep up the whole act for the past three years, but that will end soon. We're supposed to become King and Queen. We will have to get rid of him and the rest of the royal family."
What?! What is Kriss saying? She's not talking about me, is she?
I marched in, with confusion and anger on my face, "KRISS AMBERS! PUT THAT PHONE DOWN!"
Kriss' P.O.V
I was talking to the Northern rebel leader, Frank. August used to be in charge, but we decided he was too nice. The Northern rebels and Southern rebels got together to make a plan that would finish off Maxon and his parents once and for all. Thank goodness that Maxon would be dying soon because this relationship was getting on my nerves.
I had to pretend for the last three years to be that loving, supporting wife. Now I could be the one in control.
"So, Kriss, I bet you're real happy that we're going to kill Maxon soon," Frank said.
"Oh, I am, he probably thinks I love him. I've been able to keep up the whole act for the past three years, but that will end soon. We're supposed to become King and Queen. We will have to get rid of him and the rest of the royal family."
Before Frank could say anything in response, Maxon came in.
"KRISS AMBERS! PUT THAT PHONE DOWN!"
Uh-oh. I'm in a lot of trouble now.
