Maxon's POV...
Today we are having the meeting with the Germans. It will be both royal families and Leger and Woodwork. America has the choice to be there or not. I grab a cup of coffee to bring to America. I knock on the door. She opens it after a moment. "Hey, how are you?" I greet. "Hey, Maxon, I'm doing okay, " she says. She finally called me by name. Her poor eyes are red and a little puffy. I hand her the coffee. "Thanks you really didn't have to though, " she says. Her hair is in a messy bun and she's in her (not supposed to be) ripped jeans and a shirt. "Would you like to come to the meeting today?" I ask. "If you need me at some point throughout the meeting just send someone for me, " she says. I nod. "Well then I have to go the meeting will start any minute, " I say. She nods. I go upstairs to my dad's office and the meeting starts. Leger and Woodwork explain what happened in the first incident. Anna looks horrified. Albert looks mad. "Alexander!" Anna exclaims. "There's more, " I say plugging the USB into the flatscreen. We watch it. "I want to meet her, " Queen Anna says. "Why is that?" my dad asks. "Because she seems to be this amazing and beautiful girl that my idiotic son was absolutely AWFUL to, " Queen Anna. I tell Leger to go get her. Albert yells at his son. "What's her job here?" Albert asks. " She's the designer and seamstress, " I reply. "She made everything that was gifted to you three and everything that we wear, " I reply. "I assure you this will never happen again, " Albert says. America steps into the room very quietly. "This is her, " I tell Anna. She gets up and walks over to America. At some point, America pulled her hair down before she got here. "Oh my goodness... what's your name darling?" she asks. "America, "she responds. "You're a beautiful very talented women America, " she says. "Thank you, your majesty, " America whispers. Queen Anna hugs her. America's face looks so confused. "Did I do something?" she asks. "No...but why didn't you beat this idiot up?" Anna asks. "I didn't want to hurt him, " America responds. "But why?" Anna asks. "Everyone deserves a little mercy, " America says quietly. "That was more than a little, " Anna says. "You Darling are one of the few people that actually deserve to be a royal. Some royals don't even deserve to be royal. If I had a better son that you deserved I would want you to marry him, " Anna continues turning around to glare at Alexander. "Queen Anna you are much too kind. I don't belong in the royal world, " America says. "Yes you do, " Albert pipes up. "Even if that was somehow true it's not possible, " America responds. "Marry a prince it's pretty simple, " Anna says. "Your Majesty I'm afraid I don't know any that would want to marry me, " America laughs a little. What the heck! I want to marry her. "Alexander I want you to apologize to her this instant, " Anna says. "Really there's-" America starts. "Oh America shhh!" Leger tells her. "I'm sorry, " Alexander says not meaning it. "You may go for now America, " Queen Anna says. America leaves. The meeting ends. Anna catches up to me in the hall. "No prince that wants to marry her?" she asks skeptically. "I see the way you look at her. I'm not blind, " Anna continues. "I know Queen Anna... I do have feelings for her, " I confess. "Well come on then to her office!" Anna orders. "Anna!" I exclaim as she rushes me. "Go! I don't know where I'm going!" Anna say. "But-" I start. "Don't you refuse, " she says. "Anna I can't just go up to her and kiss her!" I say. "Sure you can, " Anna insists. We arrive outside her door. "I will be out here you go in there, " she whispers. I nod giving in. I walk inside. She's pinning fabric to a mannequin. She turns around. "Oh hey Maxon I'm sorry I didn't know what to say in the meeting, " she spills walking over to me. I walk towards her. "No it's okay America my dad loved what you said actually, " I say holding her hands. She looks into my eyes. "Really?" she asks. "Really." I stare into her icy eyes. Then I kiss her. She kissed me back but then pulls away. "Maxon..." she starts. "Yes?" I ask. "I can't your dad is my boss and you're sort of my boss. I could get fired or or-" she stutters. "America you won't get fired trust me. Do you have feelings for me?" "Well yes but what will people think of you with me. I told you multiple times I'm nothing in your world!" "America you are my world!" I blurt. She stops pacing. "No Maxon I-" "America you are. I can't help it but you are. Ever since I met you you've been on my mind constantly!" "Maxon you'll regret it." "Why? Because you make me happier than I've ever been before. Because I finally I have feelings for someone. Because I didn't have a selection! Good gosh I don't want one of those!" "Maxon-" "America you wouldn't have cried after seeing what happened in my dad's office if you didn't have feelings for me. You wouldn't have stayed afterward, " I say getting quieter. "And if you didn't your answer for everything would've been 'No' but it never was." I hold her hands in mine. "If you can promise me you'll be completely fine if people say you're an idiot or whatever when they find out..." she says. "I promise, " I say. She looks at her hands in mine then looks back at me.
