"It's a pleasure to meet you, King Damian," Lucius Marius shook hands with the White King.
"The pleasure's all mine Lucius Marius, leader of the Earthen Senior Council," Damian replied. Damian did not particularly like or respect Lucius Marius, but in order to get rid of Endymion, he was willing to compromise.
Lucius smiled recognizing Damien's disapproval. "My sister, Amelie."
Amelie curtsied with her eyes facing the floor. There was something disturbing about the King's presence. Something that made her blood run cold…
"Ah, yes," Damian said straining his head to see the girl's cast-down face. "I have heard much about your beauty from my brother, I see that he was not mistaken."
Amelie blushed as she shyly looked at Saffron who was standing behind his brother.
"On to business then King Damian," Lucius said interrupting the lovers' gazes. "We have a great deal to do if we need to dethrone Endymion by next week. What is this secret source you have hidden in your palace?"
Damian smiled as he clapped his icy hands. His smile widened as a tall woman with black hair and green eyes entered the room. "Meet Nilima, Lucius Marius. The woman who has been within the Crysthilia for three months, who knows every passage, every hidden door, and even every crack on the palace walls. She even knows the security system and how it works."
Lucius Marius laughed aloud. So this was what the Nemesian King had secured for himself. Endymion's ex-mistress. He marveled at the king's skills. "I have to hand it to you King Damian. Now all we have to do is hire an assassin and teach him the palace plans."
Damian smiled, "No, that will not work Lucius Marius. We cannot trust any assassin, and Endymion is a lot smarter than we give him credit. The Crysthilia palace security system, designed by General Zoicite can easily detect the body temperature of any imposter within a plausible range. We need an assassin the palace security system won't detect. An assassin with possible royal blood…"
Lucius smiled, "you are not suggesting that I kill him are you? Because if you are your idea is absurd. Endymion has definitely made the palace system aware of my energy…"
Damian laughed, "No, Lucius Marius, I would not be so inane. I know of a person whom the system cannot detect or will not detect. And someone whom Endymion never expects to kill him…"
Lucius did not smile, his eyes hardened instead. He was tired of playing games with the white king. "Who is this person you are speaking of King Damian?" he asked. "Please enlighten me."
Damian turned his head to look at Amelie. Her curly auburn hair and hazel eyes. "Your sister, Amelie."
"WHAT?" two people screamed at once. To say he was surprised was the least one could say of Lucius Marius. His chestnut brown eyes were at their widest and his matching hair was flying in every which direction. The other voice had come from Saffron. He stared in disbelief at his brother when he heard her name.
Only Amelie was staring into space. Her soft hazel eyes were now hard, as hard as the frozen graphite rocks of her home planet. "I can kill him for you," she said softly, evading Saffron and Lucius's incredulous stares. She looked at Damian and then at Lucius. "I will kill him for you."
Damian smiled, it seemed the girl had the courage. "No, my dear, you will not," he said, his tone somewhat mocking, "I was only suggesting that as a last resort. We have to come up with a better plan then just send in an assassin and have Endymion terminated."
Lucius Marius was on the verge of losing his temper. "What then is your plan King Damian?" he asked, sarcasm laced his voice, "any other brilliant ideas?"
The forgotten mistress coughed from behind and smiled as all eyes turned toward her. "I have a suggestion," she said, "why don't you, King Damian, invite Endymion and his four generals to a meeting, and then slaughter then when you have the chance."
Damian raised his brows, "a mass bloodbath, that is not the way I do things, Nilima. And I'm sure that Lucius Marius has enough honor not to do any such thing either. I have come up with a plan so dependable that Endymion himself will be begging us to kill him…"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Serenity woke as sunlight filled the room. She quickly levitated at the shock of being in a strange bedroom yet another time.
Sighing with self-disgust, she collapsed when she remembered the events that had taken place the day before. She laughed bitterly at her life. Two days ago, she had blushed when the word sex was mentioned. Now she had slept with two men in a single day.
"The fates, Princess. They decide everything. It is not your fault."
Serenity turned to find Sailor Pluto at the foot of the bed. Her beautiful face contorted in anger. "I can change fate," she said angrily.
Pluto smiled, "If only you could, Princess," she said. "You will face many difficulties in the name of fate, child, remember to be brave and strong." Saying that, her image faded out of existence, leaving Serenity to wonder if she had imagined the whole thing.
"Whom were you talking to?"
Serenity shook her head and turned to find Endymion with a tray full of breakfast on his hands. "Food!" she squealed automatically, "I'm starving."
Endymion laughed as his azure eyes twinkled with amusement. Only yesterday, he felt as if he would throw his wife out of the palace when he had the chance. Now, he never wanted to let her go out of his sight. "I thought you were," he said setting the tray beside her, "I don't know what you like so I just brought…" He stopped to stare at his wife who was guzzling the food as if someone was going to steal it. He didn't know whether to be amused or annoyed.
Serenity looked up at Endymion's smiling face. For the first time, she felt as if she could like him. Maybe even, act to love him. She was ready to perform the queen and wife if the occasion called for it. She would be a performer, a damned good actor. She would perform her duties and become the queen of the earth.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"You understand what you must do, right?" Damian asked Lucius Marius.
Lucius smiled, "Yes, absolutely. I applaud your brilliance, King Damian, not even I could have come up with a better plan."
Damian laughed, "Flattery, Lucius Marius, flattery will get you nowhere."
Saffron spoke, interrupting their conversation. "Endymion will no longer be a threat to Nemesis, Lucius Marius. Will you?"
Lucius stopped eating at this sudden inquiry. He had not expected to be asked such a question. He quickly regained his composure and smiled at both the Nemesian royals. "No, I will not." It was a simple answer, Lucius felt that its simpleness was equivalent to its truthfulness. He honestly had no intention of waging war on Nemesis.
Damian laughed, his glittering eyes swept into tiny slits. "Your word is even less reliable to me than Endymion's Lucius Marius. I need a better reassurance than that."
Lucius felt his lips bend into a frustrated smile. "Then why not sign a contract. The contract that Endymion himself used to gain the power he has now."
Damian raised his perfectly arched brows, "I do not have a problem with that Lucius Marius."
Saffron's sapphire eyes widened. "What do you mean Endymion's contract?"
Amelie, who sat forgotten in the end of the dining table, raised her face level to Saffron's. "He means a marriage."
"A marriage of a member of the Earthen Senior Council to the Prince Saffron of Nemesis," Lucius announced, "that should be binding. So when do we have this wedding?"
Damian looked mildly amused at his brother's shock. "As soon as possible. Make sure to invite Endymion, the first step of our plan should take place in the wedding."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Endymion, I expect you to be calm about this," Kunzite rolled his eyes heavenward as he determinedly looked into Endymion's shocked azure eyes. "Amelie is getting married, there is nothing you can do about it."
"She's getting married! She cannot bloody get married! I will not stand for this!" Endymion bellowed as he tore open Amelie's wedding invitation.
Serenity watched her husband with wide eyes. She didn't know what was going on. Who was this Amelie and what relation did she have to Endymion. Smiling sheepishly Serenity realized that she was jealous of this mystery woman. She turned her head to see Kunzite enter the room with eyes as wide as hers. "General Kunzite," she said quietly, "why is Endymion acting so… weird… I mean weirder than his usual self?"
Kunzite felt his lips rise in a genuine smile. Serenity had brought with her innocence and joviality that had changed the entire atmosphere of the Crysthilia. A few days ago, any person who dared call the king weird would have been shot to hell. Now here was this little Moon Princess who had dared and was still daring. "It is his cousin Amelie's wedding, and he is angry that he was not the one to search for her husband. He is also angry at the choice her brother made for her…"
"I did not know Endy had any cousins. Who is Amelie's brother?" Serenity was a little mad for him not telling her about his family. She turned her head to glare at her husband.
"He has only two cousins, Princess. One is Amelie, and the other is Lucius Marius, her brother." Kunzite watched as Serenity's eyes grew wide enough to tear out of her head.
"Lucius Marius?" Serenity squealed, "Isn't that the man who wants to kill us all?"
Kunzite sighed, "Yes princess, Lucius Marius is also the head of the Senior Council, and he does want to kill us all."
Endymion, by this time had stopped prancing around the room like a mad man. "They think I'm not going to come, do they? I will go! I will go and see Amelie one last time…," saying that he walked out of the room.
Kunzite stared worriedly after him. "This was what I was afraid of. Queen Serenity, I want you to do everything in your power to stop him from attending this wedding. I'm sure that Lucius Marius and King Da- have some sort of a plan to destroy Endymion."
Serenity grimaced at the almost mention of Damian's name. "What about King Damian, General Kunzite. What does he have to do with anything?"
Kunzite mentally sighed. Endymion had ordered that no one mention the White King's name in the palace or within audible distance of Serenity, for fear that she would lament in his remembrance. He had committed a royal mistake. Now he had no choice but to tell the princess what she wanted to know. In many ways, Serenity was like him, she was not satisfied until she got what she wanted. "Endymion's cousin, Amelie, is marrying Prince Saffron of Nemesis."
"WHAT?" Serenity squealed. "Saffron is getting married! The: I don't like girls- girls are stupid- you can't make me like them- Saffron is getting MARRIED!!! This is great news! Am I invited to the wedding too?" she asked jumping up and down with ebullience.
Kunzite sighed again, "it does not matter if you are invited or not, princess. The king does not even want me to mention Damian's name in your presence, I do not think he will be very pleased with your meeting him at his brother's wedding. And besides, I don't want you or Endymion to go, remember?"
Serenity glared at the platinum haired General with her cobalt eyes in a melting blaze. "Oh please, it's not like I'm going to elope with Damian. I just want to see him…"
Kunzite's eyes hardened. His voice grew serious. "No princess, I do not think Endymion or you should go to this wedding. Knowing Lucius Marius, he probably has something planned…"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"So, is he coming, or not?" Lucius asked his sister who was busy attending her wedding affairs.
"Is who coming?" she asked, only half-heartedly listening to her brother.
"Endymion," Lucius said, "is Endymion coming or not? Has he contacted you yet?"
Amelie laughed, "To Endymion, I am a traitor like you are, why should he contact me?"
Lucius sighed, "you know why Amelie. Endymion will definitely not approve of your marriage to a Nemesian prince."
Amelie turned her face from the bridal dress designs to look her brother in the eye. "I suppose he will not approve, but he has enough sense not to contact me or try to talk me out of it. Endymion might still care about me, Lucius, but he is not a fool. A traitor is still a traitor to him, regardless of her position in his heart, if he has one. And besides, he has his wife Serenity now. He doesn't need me…" there was just a tiny hint of jealousy in her voice.
Lucius grew still at the mention of Serenity. He closed his eyes remembering hers. The cobalt blue glaze that ran endlessly, boring into his soul, his mind, and his spirit. One word played in his brain over and over again… Serenity, Serenity, Serenity…
"Thinking of his wife, Lucius?" Amelie asked smiling slyly. It seemed like the lunar angel had managed to set her spell on Lucius Marius, her brother.
Lucius shook his head. He had to get these insane thoughts out of his head before he did something he would regret. Damian was not the most sharing man when it came to his possessions. He would most likely kill any man who so much as dared to think about Serenity in more than a friendly manner. He sighed, "No, Amelie, no. I was just thinking what we will do if Endymion does not attend your wedding. Damian's alternative plans will take a lot of energy…"
"Don't worry about it," Amelie said, her eyes slightly glazed. "If both the plans fail, I can always go and kill him for you."
Lucius narrowed his eyes. His sister, who only two days ago had begged that they ask Endymion for forgiveness, was now talking about killing him. Lucius's eyes glistened slyly, "Why, sister, why the sudden animosity?"
Amelie smiled, "no reason." She went back to looking at her dresses. Endy… Endy… you have forgotten about me, have you? Is your new wife so enticing? So alluring, that you would forget your cousin?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"I am going and that is final," Endymion raged furiously as Kunzite refused to understand. "It is Amelie's wedding and you do not want me to attend. That's absurd!"
Kunzite evenly kept his face on Endymion's level, "What is absurd is that you're about to go to this trap of a wedding. So she is your cousin, but you are forgetting that she is also a traitor. She betrayed you Endy, betrayed you for Lucius. No matter how you feel about her, that is the truth. This wedding is a trap and you know it. You would be the king of fools if you attended it."
Endymion growled in frustration. "You do not understand, Kunzite. I do not care if it is a trap. I want to see Amelie on her wedding day."
Kunzite grit his lips into a thin smile, desperate measure call for desperate means, "If you attend, then so will your wife. You will go as the king and queen of Earth. All of your generals will be with you for security purposes and so will two bastions of troops. If you are going then so are we. As the head general, I cannot allow you to go on this suicide mission alone. And think, Endy, if Serenity is attending the wedding, then she will see Damian there…"
Endymion balled his fists. This was the last thing he needed. He could tell Kunzite to go to hell and attend the wedding by himself, but he knew that that was what both Damian and Lucius wanted. He would not give them the satisfaction. Besides, he had always wanted to laugh in Damian's face about losing Serenity to him. "Ok, then," he said, "I have no problem with that."
