Chapter 7: Remembering
-At the Tower-
They dragged him out into the towers court yard and up on a platform. There on the platform was a block. They man looked at the block and out to the crowd that was gathered in front of the platform. He looked up at wall that was behind the group of Saiyans. There on top of the wall was two men standing there wait to see him get his head cut off.
Kelton was hit in the back of the legs and fell to the ground. He looked up once more at King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta. Kelton made an evil face at them. The executioner pushed his head down and to the side. Kelton could see the angry Saiyans before him. He could feel the blade of the axe on his neck as the executioner aimed for his neck.
Both Vegeta's watched as the axe came down and cut off Kelton's head. The head fell to the floor of the platform and rolled to a stopped. The body jerked and blood squirted and poured from the neck. Both King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta smiled and turned and walked away.
-At the Emerald Palace-
-With Vegeta-
Vegeta walked down the hallway to his room. He walked in and saw Goku standing by the window. He walked over to him and Goku turned to look at him. Goku smiled at Vegeta. Vegeta smiled back and said.
"He's dead." He said in a very happy voice. Goku smiled and leaned down and kissed Vegeta. Goku knew that Vegeta was not going to be in that much danger now, but he would still have to protect him.
-With King Vegeta-
Vegeta was in the garden looking at the new flowers that had bloomed. He was so happy the Kelton was dead, but he worried that Kelton's son Lan would rise up for his father. The King was so deep in thought that he did not see a woman about the same age as him walking with her head turned toward her friend. Vegeta walked right into her. He quickly looked down and saw the woman as she looked up at him. She had light red hair and green eyes.
"I'm so sorry your Majesty." She said as she and her friend bowed to the King.
"It is alright I was not looking where I was going." Vegeta said looked at the woman. She leaned back up and was about to walk away until Vegeta stopped her.
"What is your name?" He asked her. She looked at him and blushed.
"My name is Tamzin." She said.
"Well I hope to see you again Tamzin." Vegeta smiled as she bowed again and walked away.
Up on the balcony that over looked the gardens stood Prince Vegeta. He had seen the whole thing and was smiling to himself. Goku walked out onto the balcony and looked at Vegeta.
"What are you smiling about?" He asked him.
"Nothing I just saw a new love blooming along with the flowers." Vegeta looked at Goku who had an odd look on his face. Vegeta said nothing else he just walked inside.
-With King Vegeta-
The King walked into his private apartments. He walked into his meeting room and noticed two people. One was standing next to the chair and the other one was setting in the chair. The King turned around and saw his son and Goku. He smiled at them and walked over to them. He could see his son smiling at him.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked him.
"I saw you with that woman father." Vegeta said with a bigger smile on his face. King Vegeta didn't know what to say.
"It's alright father you have a right to want to be with someone. I mean I know that you loved mother but it has been a long time since she has passed." Vegeta said this and his father looked at him. He knew that he was right. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Vegeta moved his chair a little too where he was setting in front of his father. Vegeta took one of his father's hands into his. King Vegeta looked up at his son.
"I know it has been a long time since her death but I don't know if I can or if I have another shot at happiness." Vegeta looked at his father.
"You do have a chance at happiness again only if you take it. If not then you will be alone." The King looked at his son again and smiled.
"You really want me to pursue don't you?" Vegeta nodded his head. Goku moved to where he was beside them.
"What happened to your mother Vegeta?" He asked. Both King Vegeta and Prince Vegeta looked at him. Goku could see hurt in both of their eyes.
"Oh if you don't want to tell me that's okay."
"No you just caught us off guard is all." Vegeta said looking into Goku's eyes.
"Set down Kakarrotto and I will tell you what happened to my wife The Queen." Goku got a chair and moved it to where he was setting to the side of them. The King looked over at Vegeta and started to the story of what happened to The Queen of Saiyans.
"My father and I were traveling though the countryside. There was a group of Saiyans standing by the road. They were there to see me and father on our progress." Goku made a face. King Vegeta rolled his eyes and said.
"We were going through our kingdom to see the people and our lands." Goku looked at him now knowing what he meant.
"There mixed in with the commoners was Vegeta's mother. She was the most beautiful woman I have even seen. I stopped the carriage and got out and walked over to her. They all bowed as I walked up to her. While she was bowing to me I lifted her head and made her look at me. She was so beautiful with her long black hair and her ice blue eyes." Vegeta smiled as his father described his mother. Goku could see that the King was still in love with his wife.
"I asked her what her name and she told me. I looked at my father and he looked at me and told me to come on. I told her to meet me at the big tree at sunset. I walked back to the carriage and we drove off. Later at sunset I road to the big tree were I told her to meet me. And there she was, standing there waiting on me. We talked about so many things. I knew that she was the one for me. I asked her to marry me right there. She said that she would meet me at her family's chapel in the morning. That morning I got there before her and I remember seeing her and her mother running to me. She was dressed in a beautiful blue dress white a white undershirt. Her hair was up and she had on white pearls and pearl earrings too." Vegeta could only imagine her in that.
"We married and I took her to the palace. My father was not happy at all but I told him that she was the one for me and I was not going to let her go. He finally got use to the idea and he sent for her family. They all came to court and she and I live a good life." Goku smiled
"Until" Goku's smile fell. He looked at the King and then at Vegeta.
"Until what?" Goku asked.
"She was in labor with Vegeta and she gave birth to him…but she got an infection. She died from child bed fever. She was only sixteen at the time. We both were sixteen." Goku watched as Vegeta got up and walked over to the window. Goku then looked at the King. Goku stood up and walked over to Vegeta. He placed his hand on his shoulder.
"She did get to hold him and name him before she died." Goku looked back at the King.
"I'm so sorry Vegeta. I'm sorry for the both of you." Goku said and hugged Vegeta from the back. Vegeta was looking out the window trying not to let the tears fall, but they fell anyway. King Vegeta walked over to the window.
"You should pursue her father." Vegeta said and turned to look at his father. King Vegeta smiled at his son.
"I think I will." He said with a smile.
"What was your mother's name?"
"It was Gaia." Said the King.
