"Lissa c'mon hurry up were going to be late!"
"emm Rose I'm queen it's not as if anything can start with out me. . .."
" yea politically but if this meeting gets delayed we might just be late for the wedding and that wouldn't go down very well, would it?"
Lissa sighed and within minutes was ready to leave for her meeting regards the instruction of spirit in the academies. Once we got outside her bedroom door we were joined by the five remaining guards that we me made up the royal guard. Within minutes we were joined by Lissa's boyfriend Christian and his two bodyguards Eddie Castile and of course the love of my life Dimitri Belikov.
The meeting dragged or so I thought I never enjoyed royal affairs however Lissa was my queen, best friend and of course my bondmate. For her I would endure anything.
We eventually made it back to her palace and got ready for the wedding. We couldn't wait, we were finally going to see a beneficial result of all our previous misdoing such as breaking a convict out of jail.
We eventually made it through the royal court Lissa being as queenly and royal as ever before with Christian by her side. Despite her protesting I walked behind her, I was more comfortable this way. Just because I had been invited to this wedding and was dressed up to the nines it did not by any means mean I was released from my duty of protecting the queen.
We finally made it to the church. I was never a big fan of going to church however today it was different. Their was a hum of anticipation and excitement. The church looked amazing but it was nothing in comparison to the stunning bride when she entered.
On the alter Mikhail looked very formal and nervous which was unusual. Mikhail is a great guardian, nothing ever fazes him! However all qualms disappeared once his bride entered! They were such a great couple and deserved the happiness they would get out of this relationship after all they had gone through for example his bride was only recently changed back to a moroi after being stirgoi for a number of years.
The wedding went off without a hitch, it really was perfect. After the reception things calmed down everybody was enjoying themselves in a relaxed fashion but something or rather someone was very quiet even more so than usual, that someone is of course no other than Dimitri.
I sighed and motioned for him to join me outside. He reluctantly followed me out.
" so comrade what's up?" I said.
"nothing Roza why do you ask?"" you seem kinda quiet that's all" and of course the face he didn't comment on me referring to him as 'comrade' but I didn't say this out loud. "ugh it's nothing Roza I'm fine", "humph if you don't want to talk to me fine". I then turned and walked back inside. I knew I was being a little harsh on him but I just hated the way he never trusted me enough to talk to me.
I walked back in completely absorbed in my thoughts when Lissa came over to me. " hey what's up Rose?" so much for my guardian instincts - I nearly fell of the chair in surprise! "nothing, just thinking", "Rose go talk to him, you know he's going through a hard stage. It can't be easy for him to see Sonya and Mikhail happily wed while he still can't come to terms with his spell as a Stirgoi". " maybe so Liss but I just wish he'd talk to me, not just be strong, I can manage on my ,own Dimitri", "and that Rose is exactly why you should go find him".
Lissa left then as Christian was looking very uncomfortable with Lord Voda another Royal. Left alone I decided Lissa was right I should go and find Dimitri. I sighed and went to his room in the guardian block and there sure enough I found him lying on his bed reading a western. I said nothing simply walking over to him and put a stray lock of his hair back behind his ear so I could look at my Russian God.
He sighed and folded down the page he was on. I gave him the shortest little peck on the lips so he would understand that I forgave him from earlier. He looked at me, God I loved those big warm brown eyes. "Roza I'm sorry about earlier". I nodded so he knew I understood. He kissed me again, ever so tenderly but I pulled away, "Dimitri you know you can always talk to me right?", "yes Roza I do, buts it's not exactly talking I want to do", he raised one eyebrow and I let out a frustrated sigh. He knew that always annoyed me as I seemed to be the only one in then whole universe that couldn't do that. " not tonight Dimka", "Roza please?" "nope I'm going to visit Adrian you know where I am when your ready to talk". I walked out and heard him sigh.
I wandered around and ended up outside Adrian's. I knocked and had to wait a few minutes, typical Adrian. I knocked aagain and I heard him coming to the door. He opened it "really Rose could you not have better timing, this better be very important". I was confused at first but guessed he had been drinking and had lady company. I was just about to leave when I heard someone inside call my name "Rose, I thought you'd still be at the wedding". I was stunned into silence. I just looked at Adrian "really Adrian, jailbait?". I was confused, I mean I knew she worshipped the ground he walked on but he was more of an older brother to her. Or so I thought. " what little dhampir are you the only one allowed date someone older then you, the only one allowed to move on?". I was stunned but Adrian was right their situation wasn't any different to ours really. I sighed, defeated. "awww was the little dhampir here for something in particular?" So much for Adrian being any less of a flirt just because he was in a relationship, with Jill none the less. "I think both of ye need to talk to Lissa", I said it more to Adrian than Jill but she picked up on it all the same. "ugh fine Rose but we have unfinished business at the moment we'll be over in a bit". I mentally cringed and had an odd urge to slap him, Jill wasn't even 16 and he was playing with her. "k but I'd leave it till tomorrow to talk to her she's kind of busy at the moment. Adrian smirked as I walked off in a huff, no doubt Adrian would tell Liss what I just said and she'd get annoyed with me for sharing her personal details, oh the joys of being shadow kissed.
