The event staff instructed the people to make their way to the ball as Arabella signed royal documents with Jett as her witness. With the last paper signed, it was official; she was a princess. Everyone left the throne room, leaving Jett and Bella alone.
She went to stand in front of the throne, looking at it in contemplation. "I guess I really made some waves tonight."
Jett walked up next to her, trying to gauge her expression. "You know how risky that was? They could have thrown you in jail for the things you said, and you could have lost your crown."
"I know. I had them by the balls, Jett. They have no choice but to keep me here. If I leave back to the US, they lose the monarchy. It would go to a duke or duchess. No one on the court wanted to take on the responsibility because of the strict rules. I can make genuine changes now. Uncle is going to step down soon and then I will become queen. He's very sick, Jett. I'm scared."
"I know. He told me."
