Chapter 8
A/N Thank you to the people who helped me make this chapter better, you know who you are.
" Sire kwi is dead." A woman's voice called out in distressed
The King looked as a few members of his harem presented the dead body before him, he could tell that they were upset and in mourning even if they would never show it. The King stood looking down at the dead body, he knew this would happen to her, that woman had failed in her task to win the Prince back through treason, she had taken too long to get the necklace and kill the human. However he could not let anyone of his people know he was behind the treasonous actions of one of his harem.
" I will investigate this, now why don't you dispose of her she is no longer of use, Appo my dear stay here for a bit."
They looked at was each other but followed orders, Appo walked toward the King as he stood to kiss her, but spoke softly
"Would you give your life for me?" The King asked
"Off course sire, why do you ask?" The woman replied
Bulma lay on the bed in tears, she had been dreaming about her once romantic vision of marrying a prince, but the dream had turned into a nightmare. She had been at her wedding day when her dream Prince's face had turned to Prince Vegeta's face and he had killed her, she woke up wanting to scream but her throat ached and she simply coughed.
She turned to the side and saw a pot of tea beside her that smelt of honey, she took the pot and poured it into a cup and drank it. She tasted the honey in the tea and smiled warmly, she knew this would help her throat recover from the swollen mess that Saiyan whore had caused.
She looked around the room seeing no sign of the man who had saved her once again from death, yet she still feared him because of his actions. She moved her hand to the necklace on her neck, the story he had told her about it was truthful. However this necklace brought the wrath of a jealous woman down on her. She finished her cup of honey tea just as the Prince walked in. She avoided eye contact with him but she still had a burning question to ask.
She stood and watched as he took the upper part of his amour off and he wrapped his tail around her as she came closer to him, he lifted her head checking the condition of her neck. He saw the bruising on her neck and she seemed to be struggling to breathe, he hated seeing her like this.
" How do you feel? I heard from the Earthling royal cook that honey tea was good for helping sore and swollen throats."
She looked to him uneasy, she knew she would struggled to speak to him but she asked.
" Do you want to kill me too? " Her voice broke weakly
It was obvious that her voice and throat were swollen still by the way her voice broke but the Prince kissed her neck to try and ease her pain and make her feel better.
"Off course not, are you thinking that you'd end up like that whore?"
" Yes.." Bulma coughed " You killed her so coldly… She told me that she loved you."
Vegeta laughed at the worlds she spoke.
" I told you she didn't love me, she only wanted my power. She told you none sense, my dear, I killed her because that whore tried to kill my wife to be, you are the one I chose over all so.."
Bulma grabbed him as he kissed her lips, his tail moved around her body as he played with her a little, but he soon found out she even struggled to moan. Vegeta backed away and Bulma put her hand to her swollen throat as Vegeta brought her more tea.
" Drink it up dear it will help your voice recover, I need you to speak clearly as our wedding will be in a few days. "
She dropped the tea cup on the floor as he said this, he saw her begin to shake and he came close hearing her whimper.
"So soon…" Her voice cracked fearfully
Vegeta noted her fear and knew she was still against the marriage but he knew she had no choice in the matter but this reaction...
" Every time I bring up this subject you withdraw from me." Vegeta explained calmly
" I don't want to marry you though… you kidnapped me and…"
Bulma thought on everything she had been through and thought on what had just happened with that woman.
" I was just your tool.. I See it now… I was your stand in..To be used so you didn't have to marry that whore.. I don't buy your bullshit.. Just because the story of this necklace was true doesn't make you any less of a murder. " Bulma replied, in between a broken voice.
Vegeta frowned hearing her coughed, he crossed his arms, but before he could reply he heard a loud bang at his door, he opened it to see his father who stepped in without a word. The King looked at the human woman who had bruising and marks on her neck and she was struggling to breathe. The Prince eyed up his father in anger as he hated his father for so many reasons.
" I'm in the middle of something here father, whatever your business is here make it quick." Prince Vegeta grunted annoyed
Prince Vegeta looked seeing Bulma hurry to his side nervous, even after her words she felt safer with him then alone but he could not blame her.
" I know what you did son, although your actions were just, I've already picked a fall person for you."
" So what? If that is all you want then leave!"
Bulma held Vegeta's arms scared and she looked to the King seeing vicious intent in the King's eyes she could almost feel it.
" I see you have her well trained though, it must feel good to have that woman rely on your strength so much . " The king laughed " Even if you two are to be married this weak human will never join you at your side when you go to war next, when you destroy your next world." The King mocked
" Have no illusion human just because the Prince want to protect you from our true hardness as a warrior race, we are the monsters you think we are." The King mocked
The Prince punched his father who laughed at his son's actions.
" She's going to be royalty son, she should know the truth of our trade "
The King left the room , even if he couldn't stop them getting married, he'd make it so that woman would never want to lie with son again. Although the King had a back up plan for the wedding which required sacrifice but he would make sure that human would never speak at the wedding her vows.
…...
Bulma looked to him fearful as the Prince was everything she thought he was and she dropped away from him.
" Earth wasn't.. The only planet.. " She spoke in distance
She felt tears in her eyes.
" Yes it's true that is what we Saiyans are, we took Earth as it had many resources we needed and a alien race paid us good money to take it, that money allowed us to buy even more resources
Bulma looked sick and back away from him in horror.
He knew the truth would come out eventually but he hated his father even more for this, all his work to sway her to like him, to protect her from the truth ruined.
Bulma looked to the door in fear and went to run but Vegeta caught her in her arms. Even when she tried to scream but it hurt her throat and she coughed.
" Bulma wait, we only do these things because we have to, it is the only way we can survive. we have no natural resources of our own here, no water, no food, no animals, nothing. We once struggled to survive on this world and we were willing to do anything in order to survive this world and we do enjoy proving our strength to others so this led us to Frieza. That man Frieza started this trade long before he came to us, but once he was killed we took over his trade. We began to rarely destroy all the world we invaded. Earth however was different… " Vegeta explained calmly
"I will show you the truth of this world, so far I've spoilt you and protected you from the harshness of this world."
He took the hand of his wife to be and lead her out the room, he wanted to shield her from such things but she needed to see it in order to understand.
" I do care for you and I will be a good husband, but when you are the Princess you too will be involved in this trade too, so I need you understand." Vegeta softly spoke
Bulma walked with him till they were outside the castle and Vegeta took her in his arms and flew them up into the sky, he flew her high into the red skied world. Bulma looked down at the bare almost desert like planet, it had no oceans, it had no animals, no tress, just people and buildings. She began to understand there need to get resources, but that was how political ties were formed even on Earth people had negotiate trade deals, hell she had done it for Capsule Corp.
" I can see now your lack of resources, biu couldn't you simply negotiate trade deals?" Bulma asked dryly " Is there a need to destroy?"
Bulma did feel uneasy with him, she hated him in a way for destroying Earth, but Vegeta held her close as he headed back to the castle.
" Most planets trade with us freely once we offer them something hence the need to plunge other world's, this is how we trade. " Vegeta replied with a truthful tone
" I'm sure… you could of speared Earth there was no need to destroyed it.. We would of.." she cried
" It's not that simple.. The price for your word was high and we were told that your people were no welcomed or needed.. we had to do what we did for our race to survive another year." The Prince explained in desperation
Bulma tried to understand his words but she felt her anger rise and rise. It seemed so harsh to be born on raised on in cold environment. It seemed Saiyans evolved and adapted much like humans, there also were hunters but fearsome vile warriors of destruction because they had no other way.
" I still hate you for taken Earth from me, but if we are to marry allow me to help negotiate, I managed many trade deals in Earth… I could try make things better."
Still as they landed Vegeta felt her hit him in anger over take her and she landed a hit on him that didn't make the Prince flinch.
" However That's for my family and my friends.." She weakly yelled. " I don't think I will ever care for you, you can force me into marriage and make me your Princess but I refuse to feel a thing for you.. I will help you with trading... but with trading only as I don't want another world to be..destroy.
She still felt that resentment toward him, but she had gained a better understanding of the Saiyans, Vegeta walked behind her watching her storm the halls strongly and he smirked at her strength. Yes maybe she could help him and with that woman's nature and ability to be tactful... yes this was why he picked her beyond others.
However he knew beyond anything else she still wasn't his fully, she still hated him and didn't want him, he would have to think of a way to make her his loving wife.
