(A/N: I re-read the chapters I uploaded to the site and noticed some mistakes I made when I wrote. I didn't notice these mistakes at first. Misspelling a word and other minor grammar mistakes. I could have reposted the corrected versions, but I didn't. I think it's too late now. Just wanted to say sorry about that and that I'll make it a habit to read my documents and make the corrections before uploading. This chapter and possibly the next two will also be set before the first episode of Dragon Ball Super.)

The Arrival of a Knight! Lyra's Royal Heritage!

Chapter Four: Aftermath and Training

Lyra slept deeply that night. The memories given to her by the crystal kept going through her head as if trying to settle in an unfamiliar environment yet her mind was hesitant to accept these new memories.

She kept remembering key memories. The recording of her real mother, Queen Ursa, explaining why she had to be sent away to protect her from a conquer, Frieza. The queen…her mother, explained why she took her memories at a young age. I want you to be happy on the planet of Earth. I never wanted you to feel like an outsider. Memories of Rohnan were returning with each passing night, sleep helping her brain to adjust to the new memories.

Lyra remembered being a young girl, five years old, and being guarded by the young knight by her real mother's request. However, Lyra had no memory of seeing his real face. Why does he conceal his face behind that mask? The horrifying memory of being put in a pod during Frieza's invasion, reaching out to the queen as the pod door closed.

Lyra quickly woke up in her bed. She looked up and noticed Rohnan standing there, looking out her window, standing on guard. "Do you ever sleep?"

Rohnan looked over at her, "No. My body has been trained to not need sleep for great periods of time. That way, I'm always on guard."

Lyra rolled her eyes, "Do you have to do that?"

"Do what? I'm afraid I don't follow, My Lady," Rohnan replied.

"Your robot voice. It creeps me out at night," Lyra replied, "Also standing right there when I'm asleep. It's even creepier."

"Voice Modulation, deactivate," Rohnan said in his modulated voice before replying in a normal voice, "Is that better?" His voice sounded like a young man with a slight metallic sound since he was speaking from behind a metal mask. It helped her imagine his face behind that mask.

"Better," Lyra answered, but was embarrassed he was still standing in her room.

"I'll stand guard outside your door," Rohnan said before leaving the bedroom.

Was it really necessary he stand guard every night? At least he wasn't in her room anymore. The next few months seemed easier for Lyra. She felt like she was bonding with Rohnan like an old close friend. More memories kept returning to her, memories of Rohnan and her. She remembered having nightmares when she was little and asking Rohnan to stand guard until she fell asleep. She remembered Rohnan ripping a part of the fabric that hung from the side of his waist and wrapping it around her knee when she fell once and carried her back to the castle.

The more memories she had of them together, the more connected she felt to him. What were these emotions she was feeling? Her cheeks turned red from embarrassment and she forced herself to go back to sleep.

Rohnan was overprotective of her and would intervene almost always to defend Lyra, even if she was sparring with Goku to train. It made Lyra mad, but Goku would just get excited, as if preferring to spar with Rohnan than with her. Rohnan displayed interest in getting stronger like Goku and that began with attending Lyra's training missions under Master Roshi. Rohnan humbly requested to be trained as well and Master Roshi didn't have a problem with that. However, whenever Master Roshi instructed them to spar for their training, Rohnan wouldn't fight back, refusing to harm her in any way.

At first, Lyra was insulted by this, believing he was just being sexist and not fighting her because she was a woman. This lessened, when she came to understand Rohnan's devotion to her as a knight. A loyal knight wouldn't strike his king or queen after all.

Rohnan continued to train with others in the group and mastering different techniques. The Kamehameha Wave from Master Roshi. The Disc of Destruction from Krillin before Krillin walked away from martial arts. Kaio-ken, Spirit Bomb, and Instant Transmission from Goku. The last person Rohnan wished to train with was Vegeta. Rohnan left Lyra's side to do so.

Vegeta was in the gravity room training, dodging the lasers guns that fired at him. When the session ended, Vegeta heard the door open. "What is it, woman?!"

"Excuse me, Vegeta sir, but you have a visitor," Bulma's assistant replied timidly, still intimidated by him.

"Tell whoever it is to leave me be!" Vegeta replied. He heard her footsteps as she left and the door closed. He scoffed to himself. Suddenly he felt a familiar energy, but it felt stronger than before. He turned to see Rohnan standing there. "What do YOU want?!" Vegeta growled.

Rohnan stepped closer before kneeling behind Vegeta. "Forgive me, my lord."

Vegeta quickly turned around to Rohnan, "What did you call me?! Do you mock me, insect?!"

"I am Saiyan and you are the prince of our race, my lord" Rohnan explained from behind his mask, keeping his head bowed.

Vegeta was startled, "Get off your damn knees!"

Rohnan stood.

"Now leave!" Vegeta finished, turning away to resume his training but noticed Rohnan not moving. "I said leave!"

"I have more business here, my lord," Rohnan replied.

"State your business, hurry!" Vegeta retorted impatiently.

Rohnan bowed his head. "Please, train me, my lord."

"What?!" Vegeta exclaimed.

"Train me. So I may be strong and honor the memory of our race," Rohnan said again.

"Just what I need! Another rival! Why should I train you?!"

"I only wish to be stronger to protect the princess. I have no desire to become a rival to my Saiyan brothers," Rohnan explained.

Vegeta felt trapped and he did not like it, but he didn't have much of a choice. A smile came across his face, "Very well. I want a rematch!"

"My lord?"

"You heard me, insect! I want a rematch! I would have won our last fight if not for that dumb woman's interference!"

"Take care of how you speak of Her Majesty," Rohnan said firmly, yet trying to remain as respectful to Prince Vegeta.

Vegeta's smile grew, "Why don't you fight me and make me, worm? If you can best me, I'll train you, but if I win, I'll speak about her any damn way I want!"

"As you wish. My lord," Rohnan replied calmly and stepped forward to do just that but was halted by Vegeta.

"First, remove your mask. Have some pride! I refuse to fight some coward who hides behind a mask," Vegeta stated.

There was a moment of silence before Rohnan reached up to take off his mask and expose his face to Vegeta. He was reminded of something his teacher, Sir Abir, told him. As a knight of Pandora, you will always wear this mask when in the presence of others. Only when you have failed your duty as a knight of Pandora will your mask be removed and your face, the face of a failure, be exposed to all. You will be forever disgraced in the eyes of Pandora.

Vegeta impatiently yelled, "Hurry up! I don't have all day! Take off that mask!"

Rohnan lowered his hands, keeping his helmet on, "Why don't you fight me and make me. My lord," he replied.

The assistant sat outside the training chamber at her desk when the whole building shook violently as if there was an earthquake. This happened for an hour or two before the door to the chamber opened and Rohnan stepped out, his armor damaged slightly. Her hair was all messed up and her eyes wide with fear.

Vegeta watched him as he left. His face and body bruised. At first he was genuinely surprised before smiling and chuckling to himself. See you tomorrow, Saiyan.

(A/N: The next chapter should be the last one before we get into the arc with Beerus the Destroyer.)
