A week has past since I came out of the hospital and to say it was the hardest week of my life would be an understatement.

We had the funeral for the Queen and King. To say Spain lost the best Royal couple was just hard. Andros cried everynight and refused to talk to anyone but me.

On top of that we had to prepare for the initial introduction for Andros and I to become King and Queen. It was scary. Us. King and Queen in two days.

We weren't ready mentally or emotionally but we had to be.

I was still badly injured but the Counsel demanded that we become Queen and King by the end of the week.

At the moment the palace was under repairs after the explosion and shooting. It would take 2 more weeks to be officially fixed again.

Never in Spain's history did the King and Queen been assassinated and the Palace completely destroyed.

What was left was nothing.

"Hey baby. How are you doing?" I asked Andros who was rolled up in a ball on our bed. We had been staying on Sonia's boat while the Palace was being fixed. To say it was the best way to hide from everyone was an understatement.

We had to hire a whole new secret service and personal body guards. Of course after the incident we didn't trust anybody so we picked our own people. Marcus gave us a list of names and well I hired Stephanie as our new family body guard and Secretary. She had told me she had two kids and because of her undercover jobs she couldn't see them often.

So I brought them all to come live in the Palace together as one happy family.

Then there is my brother. Mom and dad begged me to take him out of the army and to get him a home based job so he could be with the family. So boom! I made him my chief of security which meant he was in charge of the guards which made Andros and I feel safe.

Next there was my parents.

Gosh I love them.

Mom and dad were getting down in age and frankly I wanted them around for a very long time. So I brought them to live with us. Mom would be the main chef and well dad would control everything else in the Palace while Andros and I ruled Spain.

I even let Sonia move in with us. I needed my bestfriend near. She was what kept me calm through everything.

She would become my right hand man. The person who would help me make my decision and stuff.

Yes I was bringing my whole life into the Palace but I needed them around.
After Andros lost his parents in a blink of an eye. I wasn't playing with the ones I loved the most.

"You look beautiful baby" Andros whispered in my ear as the archbishop spoke.

I stiffled a giggled and glared at him.

"Shh" I mumbled just as the bishop spoke to me.

"Princess Sophie, do you accept the responsibilities of Queen of Spain? Do you promise to live and serve the people in every way you can as long as your Queen?" he asked sternly.

"I do" I said firmly.

The bishop smiled at me and winked.

He then moved to Andros.

"Prince Andros, do you acknowledge that you and your wife would be handling one of the biggest roles in the world? Do you accept the duties of a King? Do you promise to love and serve your country loyally and happily? Also do you promise to raise your children the future Princes and Princesses of Spain to rule by the book and love this country?" the bishop said quickly in one breath.

Andros looked happy and slowly grabbed my hand in his.

"I do" he said gladly and loudly making the crowd watching chuckle. This was the first time I saw him smile since his parents died.

"Well with the power invested in me, I pronounce you King and Queen of Spain" he said finally after a long two hour ceremony.

Andros quickly pulled me into a long loving kiss.

Just then two ring boys appeared with our rings.

"With these rings, it shows a symbolic view of your responsibility as rulers of the Nation" the bishop said before slipping the rings into our middle fingers on our right hand.

On the side resting on a table were our crowns.

The bishop nodded and Andros proceeded to pick up on of the crowns . The tiara.

I bent down a little so he could put it on my groomed head.

He smiled.

I then picked up his crown and put it on his head.

We smiled.

We looked hot.

"I love you" I whispered.

"I know" was all Andros said.

How cocky.

"Do you have any words to say?" the bishop asked.

We looked out to the crowd all watching us expectingly.

"I have something to say" I mumbled before walking up to the podium.

"Hello people of Spain. I stand before you today as your New Queen. I would like us all to bow our heads in remembrance of my parents in law. The late Queen and King. May their souls rest in peace. Amen." I said before I moved back to hold Andros' hand.

And that was it.

We were officially King and Queen.
