America's POV

Tomorrow was the funeral of Maxon's parents. I have been planning this for weeks. I am quite worried about him, he hasn't taken this very well but the past few days it was gotten a bit better. I'm a bit nervous about meeting all the other Kings and Queens but Maxon says I'll be fine.

After going over the final plans with Silvia, Maxon come into the Princess Suite. He leans down and kisses me, I pull away before it gets too far.

"Hello my dear"
"Maxon I'm not your dear. Anyway how are you doing?"
"Good, I think. Are you comming for dinner?"
"Yeah I'll be down in a minute".

TIME LAPSE TO THE DAY OF THE FUNERAL

I wake up with my head on Maxon's chest.
"Morning Maxon"
"Good morning my dear."
"How are you this morning? Will you be okay about today?"
"As long as your by my side I'll be okay."

Just as soon as he finishes my maids and one of Maxon's advisers walk in to get us prepared (physically for me and mentally for Maxon).

"Good morning your Highness"
"Hello John"
"Can you get into your funeral clothes then meet me and the rest of the advisors for breakfast".
"Okay. America I will see you later in the women's room".

He kisses me then leaves for breakfast. I lead me and my maids into my bath room and they run a bath for me. After my bath Mary and Lucy dresses me in an all black slightly skater style with a sweetheart style neck line dress. Mary puts my hair in a intricate braid updoo while Lucy doea a natural looking make up style. I thank my maids then head down to the dinning room to grab a couple of strawberry tarts. Once I've ate my breakfast I go to meet Maxon in the Women's room.

"Are you ready to meet other royal families for the first time my dear?"
"Ugg don't remind me"

We spend the next hour and a half greeting people then the funeral starts. The funeral lasts about an hour and a bit with a minute of silence to remember the guards lost in the attack. We all go back from Angels church to the palace to have the funeral dinner. I pull Maxon aside before we go in as I can see the distess and panic in his eyes.

"Hey are you okay?"
"No not really my dear, but your really helping me"
"Just think in a couple of weeks we'll be married."
"That helps me a lot".

We kiss then go back into the formal dinning room where the dinner is being held. The dinner is finished by 9 so me and Maxon go to have an early night getting ready for the report tomorrow.

SO THATS THE FIRST CHAPTER. PLEASE COMMENT
