Prologue
Golden, cylindrical pillars stood proud, tall, and beautiful in Magellan - the castle of Aphrodite. Golden-yellow light decorated the pale yellow walls and floors and as usual the stain-glassed windows of many colours reflected vibrant rays.
To the left of the throne room were situated five of these enormous windows. The first on the left was of the current time guardian and her home world of Pluto, the main colour being a dark purple and black. The second was the current guardian of the oceans with many luxurious patterns and greens and blues. The third was of the Uranusian princess of the skies, the fourth was of the senshi of death, destruction and rebirth and her home world in the background. And the fifth was of the Earth and its current guardian, Prince Endymion.
After stepping out of her portal window the first thing that came into view for this Mercurian Princess were these windows. Each window a portal to the palaces of each respective world they displayed.
Stepping forward a good few paces, Mercury turned around to ponder at the windows on the right side like she had done many times before. Firstly viewing the one of her and her own world with its many blues. Hers was the fourth on the right side if you were walking down towards the throne. The final one on the right side was of Venus and its beautiful guardian and princess.
The portal gate of this particular window lead to a Venusian safe place and could only be used by those of Venusian royal blood or those permitted by a royal. However, even though she was a friend of the princess not even she knew where this lead to. This was in case of war.
Not bothering to admire the rest of the gate windows, Princess Mercury walked down to the throne of Queen Venus situated in the middle of the plaza at the bottom of the room. On an ordinary occasion she would of course have admired the other windows, but this time was urgent.
"Your Majesty." spoke the bluenette, bowing her head and curtseying for the queen. Without even looking she could feel the intense beauty of the queen's maroon eyes on her.
"I have told you that there is no need for such formality, my dear Ami." Spoke the queen, her voice a blessing to Mercury's ears. Mercury was relieved because her message would be a lot easier to deliver if she could ignore formalities.
The Princess of Venus lightly ran into the room as Mercury raised her head. Adorning a short and simple yellow dress, the princess still looked gorgeous despite not adorning her royal attire.
"Ami!" Minako squealed, running towards her friend and embracing her.
"Lovely to see you, Mina." The queen and princesses then all resumed their stances, the Venusians knowing of the news the Mercurian messenger had to tell.
"Those damn saiyans!" The queen gritted, her voice still musical despite its anger. "They don't stop!" so darn true.
Mercury took a deep breath and pondered how the queen would take the news. Let alone the princess. Producing the courage to do so, the messenger parted her gentle lips.
"They want to come here for a banquet, Your Majesty, to Magellan." the expression on Addienna's face said it all. The saiyans were inviting themselves to her palace and requesting a banquet?! Absurd! The very bastards who had almost wiped out the entire Solarian empire a while ago and killed her beloved in cold blood. But she had no choice. Despite having the power of the planetary crystals, the silver crystal, and the golden crystal, the Solarians weren't made for fighting wars of brute strength and power like the saiyans. The only thing that had stopped the saiyans winning the war was currently unusable. If the bastards found this out they were done for.
The panic in their faces still did not change the fact that the Venusians were beautiful.
"Why on Venus would they want to come here…" the queen trailed off. Memories of her husband came to mind. Holes in his chest…limbs missing…organs… The thought was sickening. What was worse was that she didn't have the ability to avenge him.
"I apologise for the news, Addienna, but King Vegeta says he wants to compromise for peace." But what would he want? "And in our favour he'll stop sending his warriors to take as they please from us."
Despite the fighting being over, it was not unusual for saiyans to come and take 'souvenirs' from Solaria back to Vegeta. Such as certain precious gems not found on their own world.
Letting out a deep sigh, Queen Addienna considered her options. What if the compromise resulted in something disagreeable? Could she bring herself to say no to King Vegeta and Queen Chinizu? After all…they could blow Aphrodite's holy land to mere space dust if they so desired.
A meeting of all the royals in Solaria would have to be held to discuss this. But why Venus of all places? What about the Solaria Palace? Did this compromise have something to do with the holy land itself? Or even worse, the people in it…
