Chapter 7

Two weeks later

Two weeks have passed and by that timeline many things have happened. Lexa upheld a meeting with the ambassadors. They talked about the sudden departure of the commander. Lexa explained her intention to find the commander of death, leaving the true fact in her intentions to Clarke. The other ambassadors respected the decision of their commander finding Clarke, but the Ice nation was not pleased by this information. They knew that Clarke is the weakness of the commander. They made a word to the commander saying they will get their hands on Clarke, by this Lexa was not surprised because the ice nation always provoked her. The commander also knew the ice nation are always serious by their words, that is why Lexa made sure that Clarke will always be protected inside and out of her room.

Lexa didn't tell Clarke about this information because she knew that Clarke will be nervous for her life. Lexa also knew if she will tell Clarke, the blonde will make another list of the people wanted to kill her. The commander just wanted Clarke to enjoy her stay in Polis and don't want Clarke to stressed out about anything at all. Lexa kept it as a secret, but she knew in a matter of time Clarke will find out about it. How Clarke cannot notice if something was wrong if four sentries were guarding her room, all of those sentries are the most trained one. Clarke did not bother to ask Lexa because Clarke knew she will be just another thing that the commander will think about. Clarke just let it slide like never happens, normal day in Polis and a safe environment for her.

Even though there's a commotion tension between Lexa and the Ice nation. She still finds a way to have Clarke's company. The two enjoyed being with each other's presence, every time and then when Lexa has a free time in her duties, she always made sure to visit Clarke in her chamber. Sometimes they will talk about somethings that the other's only knew. They have been opened to each other since then. It all changed what Clarke sees about mount weather. Clarke knew that Lexa is in a better place now. She also knows that she can trust the commander again. Clarke and Lexa sometimes will go to the training ground, Clarke really improved, and Clarke won on their last spar in Lexa's surprise. The commander is really proud of Clarke of what she has become.

Clarke also went to three another training of the night bloods and when Titus had been inquired by it, at first he was livid by it, but then when he saw Clarke really helped the night bloods in some of their training he was pleased. It doesn't mean that the man likes Clarke. The fleimkepa still thinks that Clarke is a distraction for the commander and the night bloods. This kind of moments where Clarke and Lexa just appreciating their time with the warriors, they find it relaxing, Clarke also told the night bloods about her people more. The night bloods are really interested with the sky people. They don't think that sky people are an enemy, that's what the commander said to them. Lexa taught the night bloods very well in Clarke's point of view, she really adored the times where they help the night bloods discovered things they still don't know. It was a sight to see, they could be a great parents in the future.

It's been so long having peace in the ground and this is Lexa needs, she needed her people not to be harmed, but to enjoy their living in the ground. Every clans are satisfied with the duties of the commander did for the past weeks, even she left in almost two weeks. Lexa made sure her duties to be done and that's what she does. Ambassadors were pleased by it, they know that Lexa is a great commander, but there's only one thing that keeping them in danger, a nation can't accept the true fact that Lexa can lead the grounders properly and not them. The Queen of ice nation doesn't want Lexa to rule, but herself. They are savages, the ice nation doesn't know how to give peace, but in Lexa's dismay she can't remove the azgeda in the coalition. It will just bring harm to the twelve clans if a commotion happened.

Clarke, Lexa, Titus, and the night bloods are in the throne room. The night bloods are being taught about values by the commander. They are gathered in the middle of the room, Lexa sitting on her throne, Clarke on the ground with the warriors, and Titus with his not pleased features on the other side of the room. Lexa explaining how duties of the commander are always needed to be in their first list. The night bloods already knew about it, it's been taught to them a hundred times, but they knew it's important to each of them. Clarke on the other hand giving the commander a support nod and it was seen by Titus who clenched his jaw. He never wanted the commander to be distracted that's why he doesn't want her to commit a bond. He knew that there's something more between the two, but he kept his mouth shut until evidence is in his hands. Love is weakness for all the commanders that have passed before Lexa.

Lexa intertwined her hands and looks at the night bloods. "You all should know that every one of you are deserving to be a commander. Each of you has unique abilities hidden in your inner souls, I want it to be opened and let the spirits of the past commanders be in it. You will all be guided in your abilities and the potential to lead our people to peace. This is our vision now, know this and be guided by it." The night bloods nodded to their commander, they know that Lexa is right and there no need violence be in their way.

Clarke looked at Lexa in astonishment. Kane was right, Lexa is a true visionary. Clarke gazed upon the warriors and spoke up. "Your commander is right, each one of you are all deserving. In my short time knowing all you, you already caught me. I hope one day one of you will lead your people the way Lexa lead her people. That would be in the future because we all know the commander's spirit is still intact." Clarke winked at the warriors who chuckled.

Titus in the other hand cleared his throat by the statement of Clarke. "We are all prepared to what may happen in the upcoming days wanheda. The natblida knows all of this." Titus looked at Clarke with the smug in his face.

Clarke saw this and she stood up. This man really hates me, Clarke thought. "I know fleimkepa, but can we be all rational and think that there's still a commander sitting in her throne right now as we speak."

Titus was about to response his thoughts but Lexa put her right hand up. It caused the flame keeper to shut his mouth. Lexa stood up and spoke. "The tension in this room is not necessary. We don't need this kind of action to be held in this room."

Clarke hanged her head in shame to what she has done in front of the commander, but Lexa knew she didn't mean it, the mood just taken over the blonde that's why she came too harshed. The sentries outside of the room bellowed. "General Indra!"

The door opened revealing the general, Indra bowed before the commander in show of respect. "I have an information for you Heda."

Titus signaled the night bloods to stand up. They don't need to know what will happen in her. "Night bloods I need all of you to go in the training ground and spar." The night bloods nodded to the fleimkepa and the sentries escorted the night bloods out of the room. Titus looked at Lexa for a moment and nodded, he followed the night bloods.

Clarke was about to leave the room but Indra stopped her. "You need to hear this wanheda."

Lexa was surprised by Indra, Clarke looked at the general with confusion in her features. "I thought it's the commander's information and not mine."

"I suggest you should hear this with the commander." Indra eyed Clarke intently and Clarke gave in. Clarke went beside Lexa who gave her a supporting nod.

"What is your intention Indra?" Lexa asked the general.

Indra took a deep breath and spoke to the commander. "The Ice nation attacked the arkadia yesterday at night Heda."

Clarke eyes went wide and she was stunned by the information, but managed to form a words. "What do you mean they attacked?"

Indra looked at Clarke with apologetic in her eyes. "Seven people have died and six people were injured. The Ice nation sent some of their warriors to attack arkadia because they can't get into you."

Clarke was still in shocked and that's why Lexa is the one who now asked the general. "How come you get this information?"

"Octavia of the sky people, she said the azgeda attacked them. At first I didn't believe her but I saw her injury. She also got one of their weapons and that's why I know she's telling the truth." Indra said plainly, Octavia was no longer her second, but she still sees potential to the girl.

"Is Octavia okay?" Clarke asked because she is worried about her friend.

"She is a strong warrior Clarke." Indra told Clarke and the blonde knew this too.

"How about my people, what will happen to them? I know Ice nation won't stop until they get into me, but I have no idea why they want me." Clarke told the commander and Indra. Clarke is really nervous about her and her people's safety at the moment.

"Set a meeting with the ambassadors of the twelve clans in an hour. I want to discuss this matter with all of them." Lexa's jaw clenched by the actions that the Ice nation did. She knew they wanted Clarke, but this is unacceptable. They attacked arkadia just to get into her nerves.

"Sha Heda." Indra nodded to Lexa and she walked out of the room.

When Indra was out of the sight Clarke looked at Lexa. "I know there is something wrong Lexa! Why did you hide this from me?"

Lexa was taken aback from Clarke's outburst, but maintained her features. "I will discuss this matter with you later Clarke. I promise."

"What if they attacked again? What if they will wipe all of my people? My mom and friends are in the line Lexa! I can't just let it slide." Clarke's heart beat rise up, the anger just flow through her.

"I won't let anything happen to your people Clarke." Lexa assured Clarke, but Clarke looked at her in disbelief.

Clarke stepped forward Lexa maintaining a great distance between them. Clarke's aura is ready to burst out. "You won't let anything happen to my people? You're saying that after when you left us all in mount weather to die? Give me a good reason why I should trust you again, then we will talk!"

Lexa was lost in words, this is the reason why Lexa doesn't want the blonde to know about the ice nation. She knew that she will be angry, but the guiltiness took over her. Clarke can see it in Lexa's eyes that she is hurt by her words, but she can't take it back. Clarke is shocked by her action towards the commander, all she wanted to do is comfort Lexa, but she can't. She's too afraid that Lexa won't let her be by her side. That's why Clarke just walked out of the room and went to her chamber, leaving the commander standing in the middle of the room, pain in her features. It broke Clarke that it's her fault causing Lexa to feel this. She will definitely going to apologize to Lexa.

The commander still standing in the middle of the room, but suddenly broke from her stance. It broke her heart when Clarke said why she should trust her again. Lexa really thought they built those trust towards each other again, but she guess it's the emotion. Lexa felt the bond between both of them, she knew Clarke was just angry by the attacked that the ice nation did to her people. She won't let anything to be between them. She will fix this and she will make sure that Clarke will understand why Lexa chose not to tell her. Lexa will explain her own point of view to Clarke, when she's done talking with the ambassadors.

One hour later

The ambassadors are all gathered up in the throne room. Lexa made her way to the room, Titus spoke up. "Rise for you Commander." All of the ambassadors rise up from their sits.

Lexa nodded to Titus who now knows what information Indra told her. Titus was really not surprise by it, but he won't show it to the commander knowing the consequences. Lexa standing on her throne and all bowed down before her excluding the Ice nation ambassador. Lexa gave the ambassador of azgeda a glare, but he won't budge in.

Titus stood up and spoke. "Ice Nation will bow before your commander." Indra looked at the ambassador with the glint of rage in her eyes.

The ambassador of azgeda spoke up and eyed Lexa. "The commander should bow before Ice Nation. We did what we had to do, sky people are our enemy." He talked about what have happened in arkadia and the other ambassadors mumbled in confusion.

Titus walked towards the ice nation ambassador, no fear in his features. "The commander bows before no one. What the Ice nation did is not tolerable in this coalition."

Lexa still glared at the ambassador and spoke. "Stand down Titus." Titus nodded and obeyed the command of the commander. Titus gave the ambassador a glare before going back to his place.

"She even prefers the enemy's language." The ambassador of Ice nation pointed out.

Lexa interjected him. "And you will use it too. If you're still up for this meeting, you should sit. There are more important matters that we should discuss."

The ambassadors and Lexa all sat down but the azgeda's ambassador remained in his place. "Yes we do. For example why is wanheda still alive? If this is your weakness again, azgeda will happily step in."

Lexa looked at him intently, trying to find a way to make this ambassador to respect her. Titus interjected the ambassador. "We are told that your queen's warriors attacked arkadia, killing seven people, and injuring six people."

"What is the meaning of this?" The ambassador of the boat clan interrupted Titus.

Titus looked at to the direction of the ambassador. "Azgeda made a move to arkadia, they attacked sky people with no reason. We all been in peace, but I guess the Ice nation doesn't see that."

"Ice Nation did what the commander can't do." The ambassador's eyes still bored in the commander and it's making Lexa's blood to rise.

"The commander brings peace on this ground! Ice nation is about to break that peace if azgeda won't think before they do such things!" Titus fury is overflowing in the room, no one dared to defy him.

"We do such things if we know the commander won't take actions." The Ice nation representative spat back to Titus.

Lexa stood up from her throne and went behind it. Lexa looking at the peaceful village below her structure, everyone is on their own daily life. Putting her hands behind her back and her entire features changed, Lexa turned her direction to look at the ambassador and spoke up. "Is the Ice nation willing to get a message from the commander?"

"Of course Heda, if we can discuss about wanheda in a matter then Ice nation won't be in between of this peace." The Ice nation let a small smirk in his mouth, thinking he won over the flame keeper. Titus just remained in his place, still furious about the ambassador's rudeness towards the commander.

"Very well then, please join me." The ambassador looked at Titus while he's walking towards the veranda with the commander. "I have a message for Queen Nia."

"It would be my pleasure to deliver i-" Lexa didn't let the ambassador to finish his words. Instead, Lexa kicked the ambassador off the balcony. Her rage lessen doing that, on the other hand the body fell off the balcony of the commander's throne room, people in Polis witnessing it didn't even bother them. They just went back to their works, knowing a sentry will get the dead body.

Back in the throne room, Lexa gaze towards the ambassadors. "Is there anyone else wants to question my decisions?" Lexa asked and looked at the ambassadors. The ambassadors are mortified and scared to defy the commander, that's why they shut their mouth, and remained to their sits. "That is settled then." Lexa went back to her throne and discussed about the attack in arkadia.

The meeting consisted of Lexa telling the ambassadors that Ice nation doesn't deserve to be in the coalition with them. The ambassadors seem to understand the point of view Lexa's telling them, at some point they won't be in the same place. Then when Lexa told them about the attack that Titus was saying earlier, that's where the ambassadors agreed. Lexa also told them she would speak to wanheda about what will they do next, what actions they will prepare against the Ice Nation. The other ambassadors suggested they should attack the Ice Nation, but Lexa explained the sky people had been in a war last month, and she didn't know if Clarke will agree with it.

When it was done after hours talking to the ambassadors, they immediately left the room. Lexa was the only one left in the room. She was thinking what can go wrong about her decision. She just killed one of her ambassador, but he was disrespecting her coalition, she did what she had to do. Lexa rubbed her forehead and she almost forgot about a certain person. She knew in a matter of time they will see each other again, but she also know they will both ignore each other. She won't let that happen, Lexa stood up from her throne and left the room to go in Clarke's chamber.

The sentries escorted Lexa to Clarke's room, she saw the sentries who's guarding Clarke's room. She stopped in front of them. "Sentries, you could just leave me in here. Be in the other side of this level, once I leave the room, you will again secure this place. For the mean time, be in another place." Lexa said to the sentries who nodded and walker away not questioning the commander. She didn't know what she will do next, but her hand extended and suddenly knocked at Clarke's room. Lexa heard a mumble inside the room. Lexa is nervous to what will the blonde react after she sees Lexa standing in front of her room.

The door opened revealing Clarke. Clarke is shocked seeing the commander right now. "I-" "Cla-" They spoke at the same time and it made them chuckled.

"Can I come in for a moment?" Lexa asked Clarke not wanting to disturb.

Clarke opened the wide and Lexa walked in. "Yeah, have a seat."

Lexa sat down on the sofa in the middle of the room. "I would like to talk to you."

"Well what else do you want from me other than to talk to me right?" Clarke chuckled but it seems like Lexa took offence by the words. Clarke didn't mean like that, that's why she spoke again. "That's not what I meant, it was actually a humor. I guess you're not seeing that."

Lexa shook her head. She intertwined her hands together and let her arms rest on her legs. "I came here to apologize about earlier."

Clarke interjected Lexa and shakes her head. "No, it's not your fault, it is my fault. I let my anger took over my head, that's why I exploded like that."

Lexa sighed in relief but the sorrow still evident to her of why Clarke brought the mount weather back. "I'm still thinking about what you have said, about the mount weather and trusting me." Lexa averted her eyes away from Clarke.

Clarke can feel how Lexa is broken, she made Lexa feel this. She didn't let her anger to maintain in her system, but she let it out on Lexa. Clarke was just angry about Lexa keeping the Ice Nation in a secret. Arkadia just attacked by azgeda and she can't do anything about it. "I'm sorry."

Lexa directly looked at Clarke's eyes. "Don't be."

Clarke sighed and tucked a lock behind her ear. Clarke knew Lexa always wanted to protect her from anything, but this time she can't because it's her fault in every way. "I shouldn't bring the mount weather up. It was the anger who's talking. I'm just angry about you not telling me about Ice Nation. They attacked arkadia and I can't do anything, I feel so helpless Lexa."

Lexa let her back be relaxed on the chair. "I sometimes wish to turn back time, where I won't take that deal from the mountain men. I understand your anger Clarke and you don't need to feel helpless."

It broke Clarke's heart hearing that from Lexa, wanting to turned back time just to stay with her. She knew she's the reason why Lexa is feeling this way. "It's not really the right time I bring that up and I really regret doing that. Weeks have passed and in those weeks I've known you. I've seen through you Lexa and it's my privilege to know more about you. Then earlier about the information Indra got really tick a bomb in me and it took over me. I just thought you could have told me about the Ice Nation wanting me dead, my people paid a price in that."

"I really appreciate your company Clarke. Knowing more about you really open my eyes to how incredible you are. You elevates yourself Clarke and it was an honor for me to witness it. I should explain to you about the Ice Nation and what the ambassadors and I discussed in the meeting earlier." Lexa told Clarke sincerely.

Clarke really appreciated Lexa's genuine words and she knew Lexa's sincere in it. "Thank you Lexa, those words really means a lot coming from you. Please enlighten me with the details."

Lexa gave a small smile to Clarke and puts her hands on her legs. "The Ice Nation wants to get to you, but I won't let that happen. The reason I didn't tell you is I know you won't be pleased by it and you will worry about your safety. That is why I let four sentries to guard your room. I don't want anyone to harm you. I know you are smart and you can tell there is wrong, but you didn't tell me anyway, because you think it will be just a bother to me."

Clarke nodded to Lexa understanding what she meant. "I did think something was wrong; forgive me by not telling you."

Lexa shook her head. "It was my mistake that I did not told you. Please don't blame yourself from my mistake." Clarke nodded and signaled Lexa to continue. "The ambassadors and I agreed that we won't let the Ice nation to be in the coalition anymore and they are here to help if skaikru wants revenge towards azgeda, even sky people do not want blood in their hands, we all know that Ice nation won't stop until they get into you and your people."

Clarke tries to sucked in all the information about the Ice nation wanting her dead. They attacked arkadia because of Clarke. She won't ever forgive the Ice nation by killing and injuring her people. If they won't act now, many more people will be harm. Clarke knew what she will do, she needed to talk to her mom, and even she's not ready to face all of them. But this is all her fault, because of her Ice nation is plotting to wipe out the whole skaikru and she won't let that happen. "I need to see my mom Lexa." Clarke looked at Lexa with a pleading look in her eyes.

Lexa looked at Clarke if she is serious with her decision at all. "What are you going to do then?"

"I need to go in arkadia." Clarke said with determination in her voice.

Lexa stood up and walked around the move and stop until she's not facing the blonde anymore. "It's too dangerous Clarke."

Clarke looked at Lexa but the commander is not facing her, she stood up and went towards Lexa. Clarke looked at Lexa in the eye. "I can handle myself Lexa. Please let me go to arkadia."

Lexa looked at Clarke with straight face. "No."

Clarke shook her head in disbelief. Clarke extended her hands and held Lexa's hand, pleading. "I need to fix this Lexa. I need to talk to my mother."

Lexa knew Clarke won't stop until she agreed. "I know Clarke, but it's too dangerous to go in the wilderness."

"I've been in the wilderness for a month and no one found me Lexa." Clarke said and chuckled to Lexa.

Lexa retrieved her hand from Clarke. "I found you."

"Well, that's not what I meant." Clarke paused for a moment and spoke up again. "Can I go now in arkadia?" Clarke asked Lexa again.

Lexa thought for a moment until an idea came up. "You can." Clarke face lighted up, and then Lexa spoke again. "But I will go with you. I also need to talk with your leader about the attack."

"Okay I can work with that. Thank you, really Lexa." Clarke smiled towards Lexa and it was returned.

Lexa puts her hand behind her back. "We will leave tomorrow at first light. A long way is ahead of us."

Clarke nodded and no words exchange anymore. Lexa knew it's her cue to leave that's why she went towards the door, but Clarke spoke up again. "Wait."

Lexa turned around and looked at Clarke with confusion in her eyes. "What is it Clarke?"

Clarke tucked a lock behind her ear and looked around the room. "I just want to say that I trust you Lexa and I'm really sorry about earlier."

A smile spread in Lexa's mouth, she does really touched by the blonde. "Thank you Clarke, for trusting me. I promised to make up to you, now I'm fulfilling that. I wish you're enjoying your stay in Polis."

Clarke nodded towards Lexa. "Yeah Polis is great as hell. I want to live here for the rest of my life, if I could."

"You could, if you're really sure about it, just tell me." Lexa was surprised by the blonde's confession about wanting to live in Polis.

"Maybe someday… I just can't leave my people at this moment." Clarke told Lexa reassuring her that she's considering living in Polis.

Lexa nodded in understanding. "Sleep well Clarke, you need your energy for tomorrow." Clarke nodded and that's Lexa's final goodbye for the day.

Clarke immediately went to her bed and thought about what could happen tomorrow in arkadia. She needed her people to be safe because she don't want them to get hurt because of Ice nation wanting to get into her. Clarke is really thankful that Lexa is in her side and having the commander's presence for tomorrow is really going to give her strength. Clarke really wished everything will turn out good and not being in each other's throat. Clarke also wants her people to be civilized by the grounders, so they can be united with each other's forces.

After Lexa left Clarke's room the sentries immediately went back to their post. Lexa also told Titus that they will leave tomorrow to go in arkadia, at first he wasn't pleased by it, but then Lexa got tired explaining things to the flame keeper, then that is the time he agreed. He wished them both in a safe journey, after that Lexa went to her room and changed her clothes to more comfortable one. She wanted the sky people to be united with her people. They need this to avenge towards Ice Nation, she hoped when sky people see her won't kill her immediately because of what have happened in mount weather. When the night is late she goes to sleep hoping everything will turn the way she planned, no harm intended.

How did the ambassadors agreed right? Nope don't ask me, just float it in your minds that this story is easy flowing down. :)
