"Clarkson?" the Queen said. Her eyes gleamed with confusion and shock with underlying happiness. Queen Amberely surely loves the King.
"I heard some commotion, so naturally I came down to inspect" the King said, is face void of any emotion, but his eyes were trained on the Queen. Naturally?
"Oh I'm sorry for disturbing you my dear," the Queen said her eyes now twinkling with humor an the corners of her lips were quirked up. "I woke earlier than usual, and got dreadfully bored. Then I heard some music, and came upon Lady America here" the Queen turned her attention towards me with a soft smile. "We then ended up here. And you have just listened to Lady America's wondrous voice. This is all our first time actually."
The King's response was a simple nod. But he turned to me, his eyes piercing mine as if he was searching for my soul. Extreme, yes, but I am nervous!
"Thank you for accompanying my wife Lady America" he said after a few agonizing (for me) minutes.
His eyelashes didn't bat, his eyes didn't stray, his lips stayed in it's form. Was he genuine?
I, on the other hand, am standing here frozen with my mouth open like a fish out of water. My brain abandoned my body.
"T-the Queen is a wonderful companion y-your Majesty" I said, unable to stop myself from stuttering. I coughed to clear my throat but didn't make eye contact.
The King didnt answer.
No one did for what felt like hours.
Not liking the silence I excused myself, only when I was outside did I realize I was still in my nightgown!
The King saw me in my nightgown!
So much for getting on his good side. If he has one that is, but it seemed to be reserved for his Queen. Which I found quite romantic if I didnt see as some dictator out to ruin my life.
I was so lost in thought I didnt notice I was in the Garden.
I heard some kind of cough, turning around, I saw the person I really wasnt in the mood to see right now
"What are you doing here Aspen?"
*******See Chap 5: continued *******
"Your lover huh?" Maxon said, his arms crossed and his eyes...lets just say winter came early.
It's going to be loud.

FanficMy version of The One. This book does not include the rebels and mainly focuses on Maxon and America...mostly situations where I make America outshine the others ✨ The middle parts are horrible and I want to take it down but I can't. Warning! Incred...
