Chapter 1

(Sofia POV)

We were on our way back from our Honeymoon, my Dad let us use the Floating Palace for our Honeymoon. I was snuggling into Hugo's side as we got closer to his castle, "Are you ready to go to your new home?" I looked up at Hugo, "Are you going to be there?" He smiled and nodded, "Then I am ready for anything." I stayed close to him as we pulled up to his castle. It was different than all the other times I had come here. All those other times I had come here I was a guest and now this was going to be my home.

The carriage stopped and Hugo stepped out first and gave me his hand so I could get out of the carriage. All the servants were lined up along the stairs and were bowing as we go closer to the door walking up the steps. Hugo then smirked at me and then picked me up bridal style, "What are you doing Hugo?" "Carrying my wife over the threshold," he laughed. He carried me into the castle and gently placed me on the ground as his father came forward, "Hugo, Sofia it is so great to see you again." "You as-well King Garrick," I smiled. "Please Sofia, we are family now call me Garrick." I nodded and he turned his attention to Hugo, "How was the Honeymoon? Did you two have fun?" A fierce blush came across both our faces and this cause King Garrick to laugh more, "I will take that as a yes. Well I will leave you two for the rest of the day but remember tomorrow Hugo your training resumes and Sofia your training will begin." We both nodded. Although we both attended Royal Prep the kingdom of Albuquerque law mandates that the future King and Queen most be fully trained in the laws, customs and traditions of the kingdom before either can be crowned. Hugo started his training as soon as Axel abdicated but, I never had this kind of training before.

As King Garrick walked away Hugo turned to face me and grab both my hands, "So what do you want to do first my lovely wife." "I don't know my husband, maybe you can show me around the castle?" In truth I hadn't spent much time inside the castle as whenever I cam over we worked on enchanted ice dancing or flying derby. "If that is what you want than that's what we will do," He let go of one of my hands and then we began running through the palace. We were moving from room to room and were laughing as we moved around. Hugo was rushing through explanations from each room and so far we had seen: 2 ballrooms, the dining hall, his father's office, and I don't know how many guest rooms.

"This is..." Hugo had stopped short as he was dragging me around and I bumped into someone and we both fell to the ground. I was holding back a laugh as I checked on the woman I bumped into, "I am so sorry. Are you alright Miss?" She scowled at me and stood up dusting herself off. She then looked at Hugo who was helping me up, "I am not a Miss. I am a Countess. Countess Laurianne Cunningham. And who pray tell are you and what are you doing with the crown prince?" Her presence was demanding, she looked perfect with not a single blonde hair out of place. I felt myself shifting under her gaze, "I'm Princess Sofia" I mumbled out. Hugo clearly saw I was uncomfortable and stepped in, "And she is my new wife." She began circling around me, looking me up and down, "This is our new princess." I let out a shaky breath and looked back to Hugo. She put on a fake smile and curtseyed, "Well it is a pleasure to meet you, your Highnesses."
