Chapter 79-The Wedding
Lucy's P.O.V
Lucy sat in her room and sighed as Emma walked in. "It's your big day,"
"Go fuck yourself," Lucy growls. "I can't believe I have to marry this asshole."
"It's for Azgeda. And when this is all over, and you are sitting in Lexa's chair, you can kill him," Emma says as she sits down beside her. "This is how we win this war, and after the war is over, we can kill him and his people."
"You don't have to sleep with him. I do," Lucy says.
"You took the deal," Emma says with a smirk.
"I didn't have a choice, it was either I marry him, or we all died. He was right. We will lose this war without him, his warriors, and his supplies," Lucy says. "You better be there today."
"I wouldn't miss it," Emma says. "Good luck," Lucy grabs Emma and kisses her. "That was probably a bad idea."
"When he is dead, and I sit in that chair, you will sit by me," Lucy says. Emma smiles and kisses her again before she leaves the room.
Bellamy's P.O.V
Bellamy and Ontari were packing up camp when they heard footsteps. They quickly move behind a tree as a group of four Azgeda warriors walks up to their camp. "This wasn't here yesterday,"
"Someone's around here," The lead man says.
"Should we get Emerson and the men he is leading?" A warrior asks.
"No, they're leaving after the wedding," The lead man says.
"Where the hell are they going?" A warrior asks.
"He's taking a larger group to find the Blake siblings. He failed at killing the sister and hasn't seen the brother yet. The leader of the Bones clan gave him a group of 15 warriors," The leader man says. Bellamy looks at Ontari and nods. She pulls her bow off her shoulder and shoots one of the men through his neck. Bellamy pulls out his knife and throws it into another man's neck. They both withdraw their swords as the men charge them. Bellamy blocks a swing from one of the men and slits his stomach open, spilling his guts onto the ground. Ontari dodges a swing from a man and stabs him in the neck. The bodies lay on the ground. As Ontari looked at the bodies
"We got to go back," Ontari says.
"What are you talking about?" Bellamy asks. "We have a mission, Ontari."
"Did you not hear them? Not only are the rumors about the Bones clan true, but Emerson is also hunting you. You are out in the open, Bellamy. We have to go back to keep you-"
"I know about Emerson," Bellamy says, interrupting her. She stopped talking and stared at him.
"What?" She asks, the hurt evident in her voice.
"Eddie told us. He told Clarke, I've known for a few days," Bellamy says after a moment.
"And you didn't tell me?" Ontari says.
"Because I knew you would react like this, you would want to keep me locked in the tower. I need to be out here, Ontari. We need every man if we hope to win this war. Emerson can hunt me. When all of this is over, he'll be the one lying in the dirt," Bellamy says firmly.
"You should radio, Clarke. Let her know about the Bones clan. I'll hide the bodies," Ontari says as she starts to drag a body away.
"Fuck," Bellamy says as he pulls his radio out.
Clarke's P.O.V
Clarke and Lexa walk into the throne room after finishing their training with the nightbloods. They look at Octavia, Jasper, Murphy, Raven, Kane, and Indra. Clarke was about to speak when her radio went off. "Clarke," Bellamy says. Clarke grabs her radio.
"Everything okay, Bell?" Clarke asks.
"Well, Ontari is pissed at me. She knows about Emerson. The rumors about the Bones Clan are true. There was something about a wedding. Emerson's coming with a group, he's coming after O and me, but he thinks we are both there. He'll have fifteen members of the Bones clan. Be careful," Clarke says.
"We will, Bellamy, see what you can find out about this wedding," Clarke says.
"Got it," Bellamy says before the radio goes off.
"That is something," Indra says as they walk up to the table.
"I imagine I won't be leaving the tower very much,"
"No, we don't know what anybody from the Bones clan looks like. They could dress up as a guard and kill you. You're injured, Octavia. You can't fight as well as usually. You will have someone with you at all times until Emerson, and his men are dead. Are we clear?" Lexa asks Octavia, who nods. "Now a wedding. That is unusual, especially during a war,"
"Not as unusually as you may think, Heda. When I was a child, there was a war going on between the Lake people and the Shadow Valley clan. Their leaders had their kids marry to ensure peace," Indra says.
"Was Varys one of them?"
"No, they both were killed during the Azgeda war," Indra says. "Varys and Amy were the people who took over."
"So, what are you saying?" Kane asks.
"This wedding could be a way of Lucy ensuring peace with the Bones Clan and an alliance," Indra tells him.
"We should have had Clarke marry Lexa during the Mount Weather war. That would have saved us a lot of problems," Murphy says. Both of those women look at him. "What? You'll get married at some point anyway,"
"So you don't think we could convince the Bones clan leader to betray her?" Raven asks Indra.
"No. Lucy would have promised him a seat beside her if she won. He would be the strongest man alive," Indra says.
"Then let's hope Ontari and Bellamy can convince Mance to betray them," Clarke says.
"What's our backup plan?" Raven asks her.
"If we run out of options, we attack," Lexa says after a moment. "I want to end this war with the least amount of deaths as possible, but we can't keep this war going forever going back and forth. We'll all die of starvation at some point," Lexa says. "So let's hope they can."
Ontari's P.O.V
Ontari and Bellamy walk through the Azgeda territory in tense silence. "Say something, Ontari," Bellamy says.
"What do you want me to say? You hid something from me for days, something that could lead to your death," Ontari growls.
"I didn't want to worry you," Bellamy says. "I didn't want anything to change. I like where we are. I didn't want you treating me like glass."
"I'm supposed to worry about you. We are supposed to trust each other with stuff like that. You know I've been lied to almost my entire life. I thought you would be the one person who wouldn't have to lie to me," Ontari growls at him. "So let's get these done and go home," She says before turning around and walking again. Bellamy sighs as he follows her.
Lucy's P.O.V
Lucy looked at Mance as he walked into her room. She was wearing a blue dress. "This sucks. This thing does not feel good. It feels like it's squeezing me to death," Lucy says with a groan. Mance smiles.
"You look good, though. If you were my best friend, getting married and into women, I would make my move," Mance says, making Lucy chuckle.
"Do you think I made a mistake? Going against Lexa?" Lucy asks Mance.
Mance sighs. "Yes, you did make a mistake, Lucy. You went against her while there was peace, you should have waited until another enemy showed up and Lexa was busy, and then we should have killed her. Still, we can't change the past, and now we have to work with what we got, and our best move is for you to marry that asshole, get rid of Floukru, and then kill that bitch and her girlfriend," Mance says.
"Somedays, I wish they never made me Queen. This is one of those days," Lucy says.
"Well, once you marry him, we'll be able to beat Lexa, and then you can get rid of him. I'll help. You know I always have your back," Mance says as he lays his hand on her shoulders. "Always and forever."
"I know you do, and I'm grateful for it. I wouldn't be able to do this without you," Lucy says. "I'll need you today."
"And I'll be there," Mance says. Lucy nods as she wraps her arm around Mance. "Today is the day we turn the tides of this war," Mance says as he hugs her back. Lucy nods as she lets him go.
"Well, let's get this over with," Lucy says. Mance nods as they leave the room and walk into the room with the throne room. They saw Jake standing by the chair. Warriors from all the clans stood in the room. Emma and Logan were in the front, with Emerson beside Emma. Mance walks over to them and stands beside Logan as Lucy walks up to Jake.
"You look beautiful," Jake says.
"Thank you, you look good too," Lucy says as she stands in front of him. "I imagine you know how this goes?"
"Yeah, we saw some shit, kiss, and then we sit in the chairs, I know," Jake says. Jake leans in closer to her. "Neither of us wants to be here, you would rather be in bed with Emma, and I would rather be with any other woman, so I say we get this over with so we can get on to better things," Jake says.
"Agreed," Lucy says.
"Great," Jake says. He looks at everybody. "Today, we build an alliance that is unbreakable. We are all here because we want the same thing, we want to bring peace to our people, and the people in Polis will lead to our deaths. We don't matter to them but today starts the beginning of the end for Lexa Kom Trikru and Clarke Kom Outcastkru. This is the beginning of the new world," Jake says. He looks at Lucy.
"The war has started out bad for us. We have lost two clans and good men. We have had people turn against us and help the enemy. But I know that the people here are the most loyal people in the world, I know you will stand by us until this Lexa and Clarke are dead and until they drive a sword through it, and if that is to happen, I am glad it will be fighting alongside all of you," Lucy says. She looks at Jake. "I, Lucy Kom Azgeda, the Queen of Azgeda, name you, Jake of the Bones Clan, the King of Azgeda as my King and husband,"
"I am honored," Jake says as he kisses Lucy. She coughs when she feels pain in her chest. Jake pulls back, and she looks down to see a knife in her chest. "Long live the King."
Thanks for reading. Lucy isn't dead yet, but I'm pretty sure you know what the next chapter will happen. I took something right from the Game of Thrones handbook. Kings and Queens die at weddings. Anyways as always, suggestions, ideas, and feedback are welcomed. Until next time.
