Chapeter 5 : A sight in vain

A/N:

So if you guys are wondering suddenly why America was not the rebellious and mature lady she was it's because she was raised in the palace and has no utter experience in such things as love, hardships and having friends...

If you guys have further questions about her and the other characters just message me or comment...

Chapter 5:

[Maxon]

Today, endulge the last cup of tea I was drinking at home. I was now awfully clean and proper. All this for the sake of father.

I sigh...

Dressed in black pants, a white shirt, grey coat and the province's flower as a corsage. I dreadfully thought of seamless encouragements...

Stop pacing all the time, Maxon.

Be faster, smarter, better, Maxon.

That served as my mantra...

Father wanted this and here I am starting it...

"Knock 'em out kid."

An officer that entered our abode uttered.

"Thanks sir I appreciate it."

The people like a kind king, Maxon.

Be one.

Now, I have to convince myself every now and then that I have to be careful of everything since the Selection was up...

I had studied Princess America's every detail...

From physical needs to the most little of things...

I was gonna make her fall just as planned.

Knock her off of her feet just like those in the fairy tales she used to read...

Next is be the One

and eventually be the King...

This is the burden I have to carry everyday...

How ambitious you are, Maxon.

A little part of me screamed...

For father's legacy I have to do this

All for the sake of his legacy...

I brushed off every woman in my life just for this...

I couldn't interact with girls

I couldn't go out on friendly dates

and heck I couldn't like a woman

Except HER

I was more bound to her than was ever bound to me...

And then again I was bound to hell if she wasn't...

Daphne, princess of France is a very good friend of mine confessed her feelings for me a night when I was announced as a Selected...

She told me she loved me and she wanted to run away with me...

To my utter astonishment she begged and cried but sadly the feeling wasn't exactly mutual...

I knew Daphne more than anybody and that's also why I know that whatever she's feeling right now wasn't exactly the feeling of love...

It was more of a 'Go with the moment' feeling...

And yes, she also challenged me that night...

Ah very interesting challenge some men might say but to me it offers no such appeal...
