I followed behind Christian, scouting the area, even know there was no real danger at the court, like strigoi, I still acted like there was.
"Dimitri." Christian said.
"Yes my Lord." I said back, stepping up closer to him, which caused a shocked reaction from the other guardians.
"What do I get Lissa for our anniversary?" He asked.
"I am not sure." I said back.
"I'm just asking cause I have seen all the really beautiful gifts you got Rosemarie, it just seems like your good at this stuff." He said. I am only good because I know Roza inside and out.
"Lets go to the jewlery store." I suggested, Christian nodded and we headed out. When we finally arrived I regonized the Moroi behind the counter.
"Guardain Belikov , Lord Ozera , how nice to see you." She smiled.
"I need a perfect present for the Queen." Christian said. The women dissapeared then came out with a present.
"How about this?" She handed it to him, it was a necklace, with a stone set in the middle with what looked to be a dragon wrapping around it.
"Perfect." Christian said, on the back was something written in Russian, he handed the necklace over to me.
"It says, Dragomir." I said.
"Dragomir?" christian said, as I handed the necklace back to him.
"Yes Eric Dragomir gave it to me, in hopes that someday I would give it to Vasilisa, and I thought you can, no charge, I'll wrap it for you." The moroi took a box out and started wrapping the family arloom meant for Lissa.
"Why did he give it to you?" Christian asked.
"Because, I am an old friend of , he trusted me to keep it safe for him." She said, putting the bow ontop of the box.
"Thank you." Christian smiled taking the box.
"You're welcome Lord Ozera, happy anniversery to you and the Queen, have a good day." She smiled, and we walked out, I followed close behind Christian again. When we reached the building where Lissa and Christian lived we parted.
"Your day off tommorow Belikov, remember." Christian reminded me.
"Yes, thank you Lord Ozera." I bowed out, and headed back to the house on the far side of Court. Rose and I managed to snatch the only house that was avilibal. I wondered if Rose was home yet. A lot has changed in the last few years, August went to school and Gabriella has grown up so so much. My family was perfect, the envy of many other Dhampier`s. Rose and I`s marraige also changed the views of Dhampier and Dhampier relationships, and Guardian and Guardian relationships. Everyone is more accepting. The world has started to see that two Dhampier`s being together was more then arlight, and that two Guardians can be together without abandoning their charges. I skipped up to the front door.
"Roza, I'm home!" I called. Rose turned around the corner, dressed in Guardian formal.
"Hi hon." She said.
"Just getting off, or just going on?" I asked her.
"Just getting off." She said, coming out of the bathroom in a nice tight blue dress, that split a little above her leg, the dress was clingy to her curves, and came down to just above her knees, she had on heels, and was just finishing putting in an earing.I walked up and wrapped my arms around her waste.
"You look stunning, it should not be legal for you to go out looking like that." I whispered in her ear. She giggled.
"Thank you Dimitri, but I'm just attending a royal dinner with Lissa, we may have just gotten out of the clinic but duties are duties." She said, walking to the stand where she kept her stake, and placed it inside of her purse.
"Is the dinner on Royal Grounds?" I asked.
"Mmm, no, not far from it though, we are meeting some very high up Moroi, people who can help Lissa." She said. I felt my phone vibrate.
"Guardian Belikov." I said.
"Hey D, its Christian, listen, I'm sure Rose told you about the formal dinner off of the Court grounds, and everyone thinks it's best if a experienced Guardian came along with us, so what do ya say?" Christian asked.
"Yup, I'll be there." I said. I hung up.
"Whats up?" Rose asked.
"Im coming too, but as a formal Guardian." I said. Rose smiled, and linked her arm through mine, and we headed out. When we reached Lissa and Christian Rose took her place beside Lissa, and I stood close behind Christian. Looking at them amazed me, they both have come so far from the two girls I cought back in Portland, they really were bestfriends, even with the muted bond. We stepped on the plane and headed out. The plane ride took less then 45 minutes.
"Ah Queen Dragomir." A tall moroi hugged her.
"Prince Badica" It took me a while to remember who he was, Anthony Badica. Rose through a smile my way, and I winked back.
"Shall we go in." Lissa led the way.
"SUPRISE, HAPPY ANNVIERSARY QUEEN OZERA AND LORD OZERA!" A bunch of people shouted when we entered the room. So it was not a royal dinner but a surpise annviersary party.
"Oh my gosh." Lissa said, burrying her face into Christians shoulder. There was a repersentive from each of the royal families

I was surprised to see a memeber from each family, more surpirsed to see an Ozera memeber. Along with each memeber was 2 guardians,
and some stray dhampier`s, which made for a hell of a party.
