I finish all of my work and I put it on the rack so I can roll it out to the truck that will take it to the boutique. Once they load everything up I go back inside and to my office. I take off my shoes and go barefoot as usual. I'm only in my office alone for a few minutes and then a knock comes at the door. I rush over to open it. It's Maxon. He goes to kiss me and I playfully back away. He smiles. I run all over my office while he chases me. He tackles me to the couch and I'm laying on top of him. "Okay okay, you won, " I concede. We both laugh. I kiss him. I just lay there on top of him. He wraps his arms around me. "I love you, " I whisper. "I love you too my dear, " he smirks. "Don't call me that, " I whisper. A knock comes at the door and I scramble to my feet. Maxon stands as well. I open the door to see Tanner standing there. "You are wanted in the king's office, " Tanner says. I glance behind me at Maxon. I'm worried and I can see Maxon is as well. "I'll come with you, " Maxon says. "I'm sorry your highness but the king orders that it is just her, " Tanner says. I put my shoes on quickly and walk with Tanner up to the king's office. I walk in to see both the king and the queen sitting there. "Your Majesty," I say bowing. "America please sit, " the king says. I do so and Tanner leaves closing the door. "We saw the interview yesterday..." the queen starts with a smile. "About how you seem to be the one. We want you to be able to make anything you want and you can also wear anything from the secret closets and the jewel room as long as it's not a crown and you out them back, " the king says. "I couldn't, " I gasp. "A prince's possible future wife must look like a princess minus the crown, " the queen says. "Thank you, " I say. "Now the Italians are coming tomorrow. You needn't worry about any clothes or whatnot for them but we do want you to entertain Princess Nicoletta who is about your age, " the king says. "Of course!" I exclaim. "And we have been informed by a guard that you would like to train with them and that is completely fine as long as you have the same equipment they do on you. It will be easier to defend yourself if the need arises and you'll blend in easier, " the king continues. "Thank you so much!" I say. "And one last thing...we want you to appear on reports from now on and eat meals with us...but if you are too busy you may skip, " he finishes. "Understood! Thank you!" I say. "That is all...you may go, " the king says. I rush down to my office to find Maxon pacing the floor. "Oh my gosh, America is everything alright?" he asks rushing over to me. I kiss him. I tell him everything that happened. "That's fantastic!" he exclaims. I hug him. "I love you, " he whispers. "And I love you, " I whisper back. I go over to my desk and I take my shoes off. A knock comes at the door and it's a guard with a metal box of stuff. "Thank you, " I say taking the box. "No problem Ames, " he says. I put the box down on top of my desk. I pull out black combat boots, a pistol, a rifle, a red workout sports bra, and a few more things. "Goodness, " Maxon laughs. I just roll my eyes. He sits on the sofa. I go over to my sketchbook and sit at my desk. He motions for me to come to sit with him. I motion to my sketchbook. He looks at me sideways. I give in and grab my book and pencil. I sit between his legs and my back against his chest. I bend my knees to hold up my book. He wraps his arms around my waist.
The next morning...
I wake up early in the morning so I can get ready for the Italians arrival. I go into the secret closet and I lock the door behind me. I pick out a short red dress and I put it on.

I then pick out a pair of shoes and I walk out of the closet
