***********Chapter 11***********

Andrius greeted the Queen and Usagi as they stepped off of the transport. He informed the Queen that King Alexandrite requested her presence in their chambers. Andrius escorted Usagi to her chamber and they spoke along the way.

"How was your visit?"

"It was very trying; Oh Kunzite and I are now courting. Isn't that exciting?" Usagi said sarcastically.

"Well… that is a brilliant plan, so the Terrains can come and go as they please without question. I guess they are much smarter than I gave them credit for."

Usagi glared at him for a moment and he smiled

Later that evening Usagi was getting settled into her room when there was a loud banging on her door it startled her before she could answer it the King burst in

"Good evening your highness" She bowed

"Good evening Lady Usagi how was your visit to Earth?" He interrogated

"It was very nice your highness." She smiled, before she could say anything else she was flung against the wall violently.

She tried to gasp for breathe but couldn't. He leaned against the wall with his hands on either side of her head.

"I heard that you had a really good time, I heard that you met someone and that he has asked to court you. I hope that you do not think that this changes our situation; courting or not you belong to me. Do we have an understanding?"

She nodded very frightened as he began to kiss her. His hands went to the top of the nightgown that she was wearing and he ripped it open, he pushed the straps of the now ruined nightgown off of her shoulders, it hit the floor, she was now standing before the king in all her glory.

"You are the most amazing thing that I have seen, much more beautiful than I could ever imagine." He stood back and looked for what seemed to be eternity.

There was another knock at the door and it opened suddenly revealing Andrius. Usagi gasped and quickly tried to cover herself with the discarded nightgown at her feet.

"I am sorry to interrupt your Highness, but Luna and Artemis have sent for you to discuss some urgent issues regarding your peace treaty with Pluto." Andrius looked away.

The King sighed impatiently.

"Can't this wait!?" He yelled

"I am afraid not your highness, you see Luna will soon give birth and wishes to complete this treaty before she takes her leave." Andrius bowed

Alexandrite looked at Usagi, who was now holding what was left of her tattered nightgown over her shivering body, and growled.

"Very Well, we will finish this another time" he said to Usagi as he pushed his way past Andrius and stomped down the hallway towards the Study.

Usagi collapsed onto the floor and Andrius rushed over to console her. She was crying so hard she soon had to run to the washroom to empty her stomach. Andrius was there behind her holding her hair back, rubbing her back and fetching her water. He was ready to Kill Alexandrite himself.

"Usagi, I want to make sure that you can go through with this."

"I am more ready than ever." She spat.

She was ready, she finally had no doubt in her mind what had to be done, and it would be finished tomorrow.

The next day went by quickly at dinner Andrius had put the poison in the Kings food, it would allow him enough time to go to his chambers he would be paralyzed for several minutes until his heart finally stopped.

Usagi had excused herself early and went straight to the royal chambers to wait on the king. Alexandrite staggered into the bedroom, he was dripping sweat and having very difficult time breathing. When he saw her sitting on the bed he smiled devilishly.

"I have made sure that Queen Minako is unable to interrupt us." Usagi said seductively as she began putting her hair up in buns. She turned around to face the King and noticed that he had lain down on the bed and was gasping for breath.

"Oh Alexandrite, you are a very cruel man. Right now there is a poison coursing through your veins that will shortly claim your life, but first there are some things that we need to speak about." Usagi used a handkerchief and wiped off the mineral paste that was covering her Royal birthmark. The Kings eyes widened in disbelief but he couldn't move; the poison had paralyzed him.

"You see Alexandrite I am Princess Serenity, the rightful ruler of the Moon Kingdom, when you attacked my mother and I, she used all of her power to send us to Earth. She did die that day but I lived and was raised by the King of Earth. King Aithlios trained me to use the Silver Crystal so I could one day take my rightful place as Queen of the Moon. I am very sorry that it has to end like this, I wish there was another way but I could not imagine you giving up the throne without some kind of fight ."

She sat with him until he took his last breath. Usagi took her hair down and applied her mineral paste then she walked out of the chambers and into her own. She prepared herself for bed. She lay in the bed for what seemed like hours until finally she heard the Queen Scream she rushed out of the room and into the royal chambers to see the Queen standing over the Kings body.

"What happened? Minako is he…" Usagi stuttered

"Yes he is dead, Usagi please fetch Demando, Safir and also send Andrius in." Minako said with little emotion. Usagi left the room and found Andrius.

"Andrius, please go fetch the Princes, I am afraid that the King has expired. They must be notified at once."

Andrius bowed his head to her and went to collect the princes. Usagi returned to the room to comfort her friend. She gently hugged Minako and stroked her hair.

"I know that I should be sad Usagi, I just can't force myself to be so, honestly, I am relieved. I never imagined that I would be free from him. He was such a cold hearted man who took whatever he wanted, you know that as well." Minako finished

"Yes, your highness, I had hoped that you would not find out that he had taken me as his mistress. I am very sorry that I betrayed you." Usagi bowed

"Oh, Usagi my dear I know that you had no choice in the matter, I know that it wasn't your decision. You are my closest friend and I love you. We are both free now." Minako hugged Usagi in a tight embrace.

The door suddenly opened and the two princes entered. Demando reached down to feel the Kings skin and felt that it was cold. He smiled slightly, he would no longer have to settle for his father's left-over's.

He turned to the Queen.

"I will prepare the funeral arrangements and the four of us will address the Kingdom to announce the death of the King. It appears as though he fell asleep and never woke up. I shall go and start preparations." He bowed to the Queen and left hastily.

Minako and Safir stared at each other in shock and disbelief for a few minutes, Safir broke the stare and left the room quickly.

The queen sent word to the dress maker that she would need several black dresses immediately.

The people of Nemesis wept for their king, however the Lunarians secretly rejoiced from the news. The funeral was the next day. The body was paraded through the town on a cart pulled by several men, then a brief service and finally it was loaded up and taken to Nemesis along with the Queen and the two Princes where the King would be buried alongside his past wife and his Mother and Father.

Usagi did not go to Nemesis; she stayed behind and visited the lunarian slave encampments. It was the first time she had seen them. They were terrible; the people were malnourished and very weak. The women looked at her with such respect. They were whispering amongst each other. Usagi felt so terrible for what her people were being subjected to. She left soon after to check on Luna who was almost ready to have the baby.

When she got to Luna and Artemis' chambers she saw a great surprise, Luna was in Labor. She was invited to stay and be with Luna, she held her hand the entire time while the midwife and Artemis delivered the Baby. Luna wanted Usagi to be the first to hold the baby after she was cleaned off.

Diana was so beautiful; Usagi held the tiny baby and stared at her lovingly. The moon crescent was visible on her forehead and though she didn't have any hair, the fuzz on top of her head was shiny silver. Usagi handed the sweet baby to her mother and gave Luna a kiss on the cheek. Usagi hugged Artemis who had been like a father to her when she was younger and congratulated him. She left and headed to her bed chambers where the Queen was waiting for her.

"You are back your highness. Was the service alright?"

"It was more than he deserved." Minako laughed "Usagi, there is something that I must discuss with you. I feel that my life is at great risk if I stay here and rule the moon, I have been thinking about going back to Venus and succeeding the throne to Demando. I know that he will do whatever it takes to have the throne. He had already proposed marriage to me before his father's body was in the ground. Can you believe the nerve of that man? I do have a confession to make Usagi; I am in love with someone. Now I can make it known without fearing the King."

"Who is he?" Usagi asked in disbelief, Minako sure did move on fast!

"He had dark hair and he is a prince"

Usagi could feel the blood rushing to her head. She had better not be speaking of HER Endymion!

"It's Safir Usagi. I have loved him since the first time we met, and he feels the same. We have been meeting in secret for several months now. It is wonderful, he holds me in his arms and I melt."

Usagi was relieved that it was Safir.

"Minako, I need you to send for him this instant, I believe that you are correct your life is in danger." Usagi knew that she was about to tell her big secret to the queen, but wasn't sure where Safir stood and what his agenda was. She would soon find out.

Within minutes Andrius had returned with Prince Safir, as he entered Usagi's chambers. Safir bowed to the Queen. She nodded to him and spoke.

"It is alright my love, Usagi knows everything." The queen said, Safir looked at Usagi and she nodded at him in agreement with the Queen.

"Queen Minako has stated that she is afraid for her life and plans to flee, I would like to know what you have in mind and how you plan on going about it." Usagi questioned the prince with more authority in her voice than her title allowed.

"Lady Usagi, I am not a powerful man, but I promise to protect the Queen. I am in love with her and plan to be with her. Whatever she chooses to do I will stand beside her. I feel the best course of action is for her to leave here and return to Venus where she will be the crown Princess and one day be the Queen of Venus. I, of course, will leave with her to protect her and be at her side."

Usagi was baffled, the prince had said more than enough, and she found it hard to believe that he had Alexanderite's blood running through his veins. She was more than convinced that he had Queen Minako's best interest at heart.

"Alright, Safir, what do you know about Queen Serenity?" Usagi asked

"I know that she was a much better ruler than my Father was and that he destroyed her for it and he also murdered her daughter in cold blood."

"You are correct that he destroyed the Queen, but her daughter lived and was raised by the King of earth and taught the power that she held within, in hopes that she would one day return to the moon to re-claim her throne and restore her kingdom."

"Where is she?" The Queen asked.

"She is here; I am the Princess of the moon." Usagi admitted

"YOU? Usagi, really? Why didn't you tell me before this? I thought that we were friends, I thought that we shared everything with each other."

"We are my dear friend. I had no intention of coming to the moon Kingdom and making friends with the Queen, it just happened and I was unsure who I could trust. I am so sorry but you have to understand why I did what I did and why it had to be done."

Minako was silent for a few minutes.

"Usagi, I do understand. I understand that you had to protect yourself and your mission to save your people. I would probably do the same thing if I were in your shoes." Minako said as she hugged her friend. "I pledge my allegiance to you as the rightful Queen of the Moon. We will stay until you have defeated Demando and secured your position."

Safir nodded in agreement

"Oh Minako, I do appreciate your offer, however you must leave immediately. You are in grave danger if you stay here on the moon, both of you must leave this night. Please I wish for you to be safe and the only way for that to be is if you and Safir return to Venus and take refuge." Usagi pleaded

They reluctantly agreed and readied themselves to leave in the darkness of night. They said their goodbyes after dinner that night. Usagi and Andrius didn't go to bed until they were sure that the ship containing Minako and Safir was safely off of the ground and out of danger.

When they knew their friends were safely on their way, both decided that the best idea was to get into the bed; for tomorrow would surely be a long day.
