Hi! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Also I noticed that many of you want longer chapters, but I guess that it isn't my style to write long chapters. Hopefully, you guys will like my story anyway. Enough of me talking, here's Chapter 6!

Maxon's P.O.V.

The meeting finally started. As usual, my father wasn't too happy, but this was important. At first, I debated including Kriss in this meeting. Since this did involve her, she was present, but I was not happy to see her.

I addressed the group that found everything out, "Ok, so, why don't you tell us what you found out, since my parents didn't hear any of what you said to me before."

One of them, who I guessed was the leader of their group, began explaining, "Your Majesties, we found out that Princess Kriss was speaking to the Northern rebel leader, Frank. We tried to find out what they were talking about and from the little bits that we found and from what Prince Maxon heard, we came to a conclusion."

My father stepped in, "What exactly did you find in the conversation?"

"They were talking about getting rid of the royal family and how Princess Kriss marrying Prince Maxon was all an act. After taking in all this evidence, it made sense that Princess Kriss is a rebel."

My mother gasped. Even my father looked shocked.

"Kriss, is this true?" My mother asked, her voice shaky. Kriss looked so nervous at this point. But then, she started smirking.

"I'll admit it, I am a rebel. I've been pretending to love Maxon for the last few years," she sounded disgusted, "It doesn't matter if you know that I'm a rebel anymore because the plans have been made. You can say good-bye to each other soon."

My father looked so angry at this point, "Kriss, I can't believe what I have to do now. You will be divorced from Maxon, stripped of your title, and put in prison for the rest of your life."

Knowing my father, that wouldn't be the end of it. He probably didn't want to discuss any punishments with my mother around.

Some high ranked guards came in and took Kriss away.

My mother finally spoke, "Clarkson, what will Maxon do now? Maxon needs a wife, seeing as Illea will need an heir."

"I will discuss that later with Maxon. There are certain things I would like to explain."

"Okay, dear. Now, if you two will excuse me, I have to go." She walked out the door and I was about to excuse myself as well, but my father stopped me.

"Wait, Maxon. I would like to talk."

"Alright." I was a bit cautious. Father wanted to talk?

"Maxon, I know you will need a new wife. I think another Selection will be too much at this point, since we're way too busy as it is. But I just happen to know a certain famous redhead who is single at the moment."

What?! Was my father suggesting what I think he was? I never thought he would ever want me to marry America.

"I know you might be shocked, but I've been thinking. You are to be King soon and I was looking back at how I acted as King, including how I treated you. I realized that my harsh ways were not the way to raise a child, but now it is too late. All I can ask for is your forgiveness."

"Father, I…" I took a look at him. He looked genuinely guilty. He was actually trying to take back all those years by asking for forgiveness. I did something that I never thought I would do. I forgave him.

A few weeks later

America's P.O.V.

It was just a typical day in my life. I was coming back from the recording studio. The mailman was coming towards our house when I was getting out of my car.

Strange, the mailman usually doesn't come until Sundays. He handed me one envelope.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, Miss. It's special delivery from the palace."

"Oh, thank you."

"You're welcome. Good-bye."

"Bye." I entered the house, thinking about why the palace would send a letter. My mom noticed the letter in my hand when she came out of the kitchen.

"Hey America. Who's that from?"

"Hi. The mailman said it's from the palace."

"The palace? Well, read it and tell me what it's about."

"Ok." I went upstairs to my room and sat down on my bed to read the letter.

Dear America,

Hello, it's Maxon. How are you? It's been such a long time since we've talked. This letter is going to be kept short, but I'm sending someone to pick you up tomorrow. I would like it if you joined me for lunch. I'll explain everything tomorrow, but please come. It's very important.

Maxon Schreave

This letter left me speechless. Why did he want to see me? Everyone in Illea heard about Kriss being a rebel and all the drama that caused, so I hoped I wasn't in trouble. I had known that Kriss was a rebel since the Selection, but I didn't tell anyone because if I did Kriss would have killed me. Maybe they found out and wanted to put me in jail too! I was definitely overthinking this.

May came in as I was thinking about my possible life in prison, "Hey, Mom told me that you got a letter from the palace. Can I read it?"

"Sure." Of course my sister would want to know about any involvement with royals.

She finished reading it, "Oh my god, Ames! Maxon totally wants you back."

"What?! That's why you think he invited me to lunch? Not because I'm going to jail?"

"First of all, no one invites a person for lunch because they're going to jail. Secondly, why would you go to jail?"

"Uhhh…."

"Anyway, come on! Maxon needs a wife and if I can remember you two were in love back during the Selection."

"Yeah, but that was during the Selection. I don't even think I have feelings for Maxon that way anymore."

"You think you don't love, but you don't know for sure. I'm sure that some time with Maxon will have you loving him all over again."

"Oh, I don't know, May."

"Well, whether you like it or not, you are joining him for lunch tomorrow."

"Yeah, I know. I guess we'll see what happens tomorrow, then."

"Yup. Oh, I can't wait! You're going to fall in love again!"

"May, I never said that."

"Right. I mean you haven't been in a serious relationship since the Selection, so that has to mean something."

"Maybe. Well, come on. Let's go downstairs for dinner."

I guess May did have a point. I went on some dates here and there, but I still hadn't found the one. I didn't know why Maxon wanted to have lunch with me tomorrow, but if it was about love, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

I don't know if America is going to end up with Maxon. I usually am a Maxerica shipper, but I might not be for this story. Or I might let them live happily ever after together. I don't know. What do you guys want?
