THE SELECTION SERIES (Selection, Elite and One) | Kiera Cass | Fanfiction

King Clarkson

Hello. Thank you for making it this far by pressing the start reading button. Kidding. ;) 

This part was before Maxon proposed to America, I've been reading the book and I thought there could be a loop-hole for the king to be a good guy it was just that he ruled in fear he would disappoint his ancestors he can be called a coward and narrow minded but he tried to make up for it atleast at this version of the story. 

I would love comments from you guys to edit the story as it goes. 

thankyou!

"The King wants a word with you my lady." a guard announced just as my maids finished with my hair. Standing up I took in my halter neck pleated print-blocked gown. Not that I was hoping I would favor the king with how I look he made it pretty clear I was not his favorite in the selection.

Following the guard quietly as he led me to another lavish room one I have not been before with royal blue draperies and cream colored walls with plush white sofa's, to one side was a wall filled with books to the other was a massive fireplace I loved this room already.

I looked straight ahead to find the King and Queen already there. I immediately dropped into a curtsy feeling foolish. " Your Majesty."

"America, my dear why don't you have a seat?" the queen gestured the one across from them. As they sat I was alittle awestruck to see them so relaxed the king had his arm around queen Amberly.

"America" the king began and I realized I was holding my breath. "I know we have been in a lot of arguments... "he looked at the queen and she smiled." but it does not mean I do not vote for you..." Did the king just say something? because I did not hear that right but when his lips were trembling to hold his laughter I looked in his eyes and I was also certain my face was in shock just as i was on the inside. " You need to control that expressive face of yours America. Especially when your queen one day,... As I was saying. It does not mean I don't vote for you I had been pulling out all of these stops to see how you have handled it and i think you are wonderful my dear." wait. did king Clarkson just say 'my dear'? "...The convicting was one I would always be shocked for never was that done before even Amberly did not think of that. But most of all, child I love your passion for the betterment of our country especially with the castes. I have been a coward to not do anything about it. But I'm hoping you and Maxon would correct the mistakes that we made and be better than how we ruled this kingdom." "Thank you, your majesty." was all I could muster. "America, I know I have been harsh to you and I would like to apologize for it. but i think you'd make an excellent queen one day be one we were not head strong and unafraid." He stood and so did the queen I immediately stood up too. He opened his arms and I stepped into them "You will do wonderful, child. I will give you my blessing to marry Maxon." the queen hugged me too.

This moment couldn't have been more shocking than it was perfect.
