Rochè's POV

The feeling of lips on mine caused me to wake up and my eyes snapped open. As I saw Ross's face and his mop of blonde hair I relaxed before closing my eyes again before moving my lips against his. I felt him smile into the kiss before I pulled him even closer to me by the collar of his shirt. I felt him straddle me before his hands moved lustfully down my body causing me to shiver.

I tugged gently at his hair and he moaned softly before pushing his body against mine. He gently nibbled on my lip before I opened my mouth slightly and his tongue snaked into my mouth.

After another few seconds we slowly pulled away from each other and he pecked my nose. "Happy birthday, my love," Ross said and I blushed with a giggle. "Thank you, Ross," I said before he pecked me again. "This was a wonderful way to wake up," I said and Ross grinned. "I just wanted to wake my fiancée up on a special way on her birthday," he said and I smiled. "Look up," Ross suddenly said and I looked up before I gasped. There were hundreds of helium balloons on the ceiling. The colours were black, white and silver and it looked absolutely gorgeous. As I looked around the room I could see all kinds of flowers standing around in my room and my heart fluttered as I looked at Ross again. "Ross this is beautiful," I said in complete awe and he smiled at me. "I'm glad you like it," he said before I pulled him by his neck down to my lips.

"Thank you for the food, Mother, it was delicious," I said and she smiled wildly at me. "You're welcome, honey. Oh I can't believe you are twenty-one already. Where has the time gone?" Mother asked herself and I smiled at her. She made me breakfast this morning and it was absolutely delicious. After this I have to get ready for my birthday ball and I am extremely nervous. Every single King, Queen, Princess and Prince will be here this evening and also a lot of press. Ross and his family will also be here. I think he's planning on proposing to me tonight. He and Mother are very secretive with each other so that makes me very suspicious. I'm not that stupid.

"Are you finished, dear? If so then you have to go and get ready. We have a meeting at noon with the government. It's about your role as the new Queen of Europe. After that we come back to the castle and we have to start getting ready. Tailors, makeup artists and hairdressers of ours will help us all getting ready. Tonight you will receive your cloak along with your white gloves. You know when you have to wear them right?" Mother questioned and I nodded. "Yes I do, Mother," "Good. Now come let's get ready," Mother said and all of stood up before descending to our different rooms. As I walked in I noticed an outfit laid out for me on my bed. I already took a shower so I walked to my vanity mirror and a makeup artists that lived in the castle started doing my makeup. After that was finished I straightened my hair before I carefully slipped on the dress. I slipped on my black heels before adding some jewelry and I made sure I was perfect.

"I understand that you are engaged," the guy of the government said and I nodded my head. We were all sitting around a big table. There was about thirty people which included my family, our lawyer and all the government people. "Yes that's correct," I said. "Who is this gentleman?" the same guy asked and my lawyer cleared his throat. "Prince Ross Lynch," I answered the question that he already knew the answer to and he nodded before looking down at his papers. "Princess, you are aware what's expected of you as Queen of this country, right? This is more charity events, a lot of travelling, endless balls, pointless chatter and a lot of dedication," the guy said and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"I already do all that stuff. If you are trying to get me to deny the throne because you want the Trumps to rule I suggest you quickly stop. I will not back out of this or change my mind. I am dedicated to my country and nothing will stop me from taking care of it. I suggest you realise that before we have problems. The Trumps will not rule! They never have! This is this my country. I won't let you or anybody else stop me from taking care of it. If you have trouble with me becoming Queen that still doesn't effect me. There's three parties that has to object before I am stripped of my title. The whole government, the current King and Queen and myself. I have a lot of respect for you and this government, but I suggest you don't get on my bad side. I will not hesitate to do what is right for my country even if that means getting rid of certain people," I said, my voice strong and authority laced through it. He shrunk in his seat and I saw my father giving me an approving nod from besides me.

"Well gentleman I think we can be certain of one thing," another guy said and everyone turned to look at him. "This Queen will be one of the bests this country has ever seen. A Queen that will be remembered until the last day of this earth. One that we shall all bow down to with the utmost respect because she will be good to every single person in this country. One that will change the mind of every single person she talks to. She will be a terrific Queen,"
