It took a week but this morning we would finally dock in the royal Italian harbor. Boat rides are really long. Maxon and I pack our bags although we didn't take out much, mostly our bathing suits for the poolroom. My maids packed a lot of dresses. And a lot of casual clothes. And 4 ballgowns. Yeah. My maids really overpacked our bags. When we finally stuff our bags shut the captain comes over the intercom and tells us we are docking. The view from here is amazing. The ocean is a crystal clear baby blue that faded into a foamy white at the shore. I should look out the window more often. It's just so beautiful. Then I see the palace. Nicoletta thought our palace was pretty when we first met. But her's is so stunning. From the distance I see stone walls in a castle that you might see in a fairytale. The two reflection pools glistened from the distance. Italy is amazing. The boat harbors and after half an hour of prep, it's safe to exit. Maxon thanks the captain and we shake hands and wish him a safe passage home before we walk down the gangplank. We are immediately greeted by paparazzi and well wishers. Maxon leads us down the cobblestone walkway and straight to... A LIMO! I have lived in luxury during the Selection and I have been Queen for over a week and i still have never ridden in a limo before. It was sleek and white and long and beautiful. We got in and it took us to the palace where we were greeted warmly by the royal family of Italy and Nicoletta ran up and hugged me. She squealed as she hugged Maxon and I. She had a crisis in her country and as soon as the wedding was over she had to fly back to Italy. She missed the reception but at least she was already back for our honeymoon. I squealed as soon as I saw the sparkling diamond ring on her finger. "Who's the lucky guy?" I asked. "A Scottish prince. His name is Nathan and he is third in line to the throne. That means I get to keep my crown!" W squealed and started talking as we went in the palace. "The wedding is in 4 days!" she squeals as we walk into the palace. "I love him so much! We met when Maxon was about to choose the princess when the rebels came and we went into a safe room together and we fell in love! When we got out he asked me to be his girlfriend and 4 days later he proposed and now we're engaged! It's a good thing too because my mom said if I didn't get engaged then I would have to have an arranged marriage and I would have to give my throne to my cousin and give up my crown!" she says. She shows us to our room but when I go to unpack Nicoletta stops me and says, "Maxon told me to not let you unpack. You'll wear my clothes for your stay here." I'm suspicious but I don't make a fuss. Maxon says, "I have to take care of some business with the king. You girls enjoy yourselves." and with that he leaves. Nicoletta and I shrug and run off to the spa. We got manipetties and makeup done. Then we rush to her room and we gossip and she spills all the wedding plans. "And guess what." she says. "What?" "You're gonna be my maid of honor!" We squeal and then she rushes me to a fitting room where we pick her out a wedding dress and she gathers the rest of her bridesmaids, her cousin Anita, the Scottish princess and Nathan's little sister Charity, her maid Amelia, her other cousin Bettina, and her maid of honor me. She gets fitted for her dress while the rest of us talk. She walks out in a beautiful strapless white dress with cloth roses an strings of clear glass seed beads running down and the skirt was flowing and puffing out at least 3 feet in all directions with a train that flowed 12 feet behind her and it was attached to her vail which was lace in a beautiful floral pattern and the hem went all the way down to the toes of her silver Stilletos. It was beautiful and she looked so graceful and stunning. We squealed and we were all admiring her dress and she told us we had to go get ours fitted. She changes back into her day gown and shows us our dresses. Her favorite color is green so the bridesmaids dresses are lime green strapless dresses that go down to our knees with ruffles at the bottom. They're so beautiful and amazing. Then we all go out for drinks. We go to a little corner pub near the palace. I order a a margarita and when we got our drinks we all start talking about Nicoletta's wedding. Then Nicoletta gets all nervous asking me what it was like to be married and what to do and all that. "Well the first thing you need to know is that while you need to show him you love him, as he will do for you, you don't need to be his man servant and he doesn't need to be your servant. You need a marriage with balance and harmony. My mom taught me that." I told her. She nodded and then we started talking about things that were just totally off topic. We all put in money for the drinks and paid and then left. When we got back to the palace, the rest of Nicoletta's bridesmaids had to leave. Then Nicoletta and I went to the giant royal kitchen and made ourselves some snacks. Maxon and the king of Italy came in with smiles on their faces and Nicoletta and I share a look. Then Maxon says, "It's official. The Alliance between Illéa and Italy has officially begun." I run up and hug Maxon and Nicoletta runs up and hugs her dad. We both wanted this alliance so much. "The announcement will be made tonight on a surprise showing tonight. Gavril will play a prerecorded video of us making the announcement. Come on let's go." We go to the royal family's report room and make the video. We left and went to our rooms. Today was a great day.

"Have you got it?"
"Yeah."
"Ok. send it to editing."
"Already did boss."
"Good. Now the alliance will be severed very soon."
"Yes. Very soon."
"So you know what the plan is from here?"
"Yes. Once we have filmed the king and queen making the announcement, we take footage of Celeste slapping her maids and put America's face in Celeste's body and Nicoletta's face in the maid's body. The announcement will change from a proof of alliance to a declaration of war. We send it in right before the Report so that Gavril won't have time to review it before the show."
"Excellent. All is going according to plan."
