America POV:

As Gavril started the intro to The Report, my head was swirling with thoughts about Maxon. I was so nervous and engulfed in my thoughts until I heard Maxon stood and started to speak.

"Hello Illea! I know you are all waiting to hear my choice so I'd like to call Lady Kriss up." Kriss stood, straightened her gown and then walked up to Maxon smiling ear to ear while my whole face dropped. He was choosing her... "Kriss, you are so amazing and have taught me so many things that I can't imagine not meeting you. You have an amazing personality that will be perfect for another lucky man out there." my head snapped up and WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!?!? is the first thing that came into my head. Kriss had a quivering smile on her face and tears brimming in her eyes. I wanted to feel bad for her but I knew this meant that I would get to marry the love of my life which got my so excited. 

"Thank y- you so much Maxon. I really enjoyed my time here." she said shakily before returning back to her seat. Then Maxon looked towards me and motioned for me to come up. My smile grew larger each step I took towards him and when I got next to him, he knelt down on one knee and I began to tear up as he took out the most beautiful ring. 

"America, my dear, you had my heart from the moment I first met you. You never cease to amaze me with how brave and caring you are. I love everything about you and I'd love for you to be my wife. Will you marry me?" he asked with the most adorable smile. 

"Yes of course!" and with that he slid the ring on and stood up to kiss me. The kiss was deep and passionate even though we were infront of so many people. Everyone cheered and when we broke our kiss and looked at the crowd I could see how happy everyone was for us. We walked down arm in arm as Gavril closed up the report and we went to meet our friends and families. May crushed me in a hug as mom told me how proud she was to me and when Ameberly pulled me in for a hug she told me that the finally got the daughter she always wanted which just pushed more tears out of me. After meeting almost everyone, Maxon and I realized that we never saw his father. As we were walking up towards Gavril to ask him where the king was, he appeared right infront of us.

"So Maxon you really chose her?" he asked.

"Yes I did because I love her and if you ever do anything to her-" Maxon started.

"Amberly talked to me earlier and I would like to say that I support you both but that doesn't mean I will go easy on the political side of your job." And with that he turned around and walked away. 

"Huh that was the nicest he's been in a while. Mom really knows how to get to him I guess." Maxon said.

"For sure. But let's go celebrate!" I exclaimed. The engagement party, which I didn't know was happening, went on till late at night. When everyone retired to their rooms, Maxon and I were hiding in a parlor making out. We slipped out of the party an hour ago to just talk but somehow we ended up one each others' lips again. "Maxon" I breathed, "how about we go up to your room and continue this." He nodded so we started to walk towards the third floor. On our way, we bumped into Amberly and I exclaimed in surprise. "Hello mom" I said with a grin, "we were just going to sleep."

"Ok go enjoy yourselves lovebirds as I can see you already were from the smudged lipstick on my sons face and neck." she said with a smirk. I could feel my face heat up as I looked at Maxon and we made eye contact. He just said goodnight to his mom before leaving her there and pulling me into his room. I could her Amberly chuckling as we went. When we reached his room I realized how tired I and so was Maxon.I went into my new conjoined room and slipped into the nightgown that was left by my maids and then got ready for bed. Maxon and I snuggled together in his bed and quickly fell asleep, excited for the events of the future.
