Concede

Lucy pov

It took me half a day to convince father to let Zen go to his family. He only conceded when I told him I gave my word and a Celestial never breaks their word. As it was it's already been three months and two weeks since Zen has seen his family. Once father conceded he let me go along with on the condition I take the twelve zodiac keys with me for safety. When I agreed he let me leave his chambers. I ran to my wing of the kingdom mentally calling the entire zodiacs to me and using the bond I have with Zen to find him. I located Zen before the Zodiacs found me; he was sitting by a water fall meditating. I sat in front to wait for him to finish only pulsing out a bit of my power to let him know I was in front of him.

Once all 12 of the zodiacs arrived I informed them of father's wishes of them being my body guards. They worked out that one would be around me at all times in rotation. If there was danger another would open their own gate to assess the danger before deciding to call for back up or not.

When Zen was done meditating and the Zodiacs provided me their keys they all left accept Virgo. I informed Zen on the way to my chambers to pack that we could go to his home. Virgo was packing clothes for me to wear; she made sure that I had enough celestial clothes to keep my celestial powers stable on earth until another way could be found.

Once we were packed I held hands with Virgo and Zen and pulled us from the Celestial Realm into the earth realm. We landed at the summit of mount stargazer, right in the same spot I stood overlooking the battle that was below three months and two weeks ago. Now it looked like a thriving city, people were milling around, laughing and having fun.

"Shall we fly twin?" I asked Zen after rubbing my wing against his.

"Yes lets, Virgo do you want one of us to carry you or will you reappear when we arrive at my father's place?" Zen asked Virgo after lifting a few feet off the ground.

"I shall just reappear Sir Zen, Princess I shall reappear when you arrive." She said with a bow and disappeared in a shower of star dust.

I lifted off the ground and followed after Zen to the Pradesh home. We had barely landed on the beach when Virgo reappeared next me. Placing my arm in Zen's I gave him a nod letting him know I was ready. He walked us off the beach onto a porch and then into the house. We must have been really quiet because when we arrived in the living room where everyone was seated and talking in multiple conversations, no one seemed to have noticed us. Virgo and Zen both went to interrupt but I stopped both wanting to see how long we could go without detection. In hour must have passed before I finally conceded to Zen's impatience.

I cleared my throat drawing attention to us, "we have been here for an hour watching all have conversations, did you really not notice us?" I question with my head tilted to the side and my eye brow raised.

Several people looked in other directions with a sheepish look while a few raced over towards Zen. I let go of his arm and took a step back, Virgo stood by me while we watched Zen greeted by his siblings and father; who turned to look at me when he finished hugging his son.

"I apologize Mr. Pradesh for keeping Zen two weeks longer; it took time for my father to concede and allow me to come along as well. This is Virgo she is one of my bodyguards that will attend to me while I am in your realm." I said and introduced Virgo who bowed towards him.

"No need to apologize you kept your word Princess Lucy and brought my son back that is all that matters to me." He said and stepped forward to touch me. Virgo quickly got between us stopping him from doing so.

He gave me a look I took at meaning he was offended in some fashion, I pulled Virgo to the side and extended my hand to shake his, "I am once again sorry, I am normally not touched unless I initiate the contact. Not to mention all the spirits are a bit over protective of myself." I said in an apologetic tone.

I wanted to see more of what this place had to offer so I turned to Zen to let him know I was leaving after introductions when I felt the presence of the lunar slayer approaching me; I waved Virgo off to stand down and rose my eyebrow to acknowledge the slayer. While attractive he is, nothing inside me was moved by or for him.

"I was wondering if you could call out Draco. I wish to see and speak with him, if that is alright with you?" he questioned.

"I could call him but he is currently with his mate, your mother and they do not get to see each other often. I can send a message to him that you have requested his presence." I responded and sent a message to Draco. He responded that he would visit the slayer once he was done with his mate. I informed the slayer what was said and continued on my way to Zen.

"Twin it seems you have forgotten about me and introductions; shall I summon Capricorn to go over proper etiquette with you again since you didn't learn the lesson the first time?" I asked with a smirk on my lips and my eyebrow lifted up.

"No not those lessons again…" he shudders, no doubt remembering said lessons.

"Let me introduce my family, you already know my father, Arman Pradesh, these are my little sisters Xally and Emzadi, my older brother Farron, and my younger brother's Kaleb, Bickslow, Cristoff and Vander." He said and pointed each out. I shook each on their hands except Kaleb he was too far to reach so I just waved at him.

"Zen Virgo and I are leaving we are going to find a hotel to stay at for the night before leaving in the morning. I wish to explore this earth realm before I am recalled for marriage introductions." I said. I turned to leave when Zen grabbed my shoulder, "Marriage introductions, your father didn't inform me of this. What happened to finding love?"

"Father didn't tell you at my request and that was part of the reason I was allowed to come along. So I could find love, if I didn't find love then I'm go through with the introductions. I made a promise Zen please do not fight this. My choices are still my own." I assured him. He sighed out before nodding and saying he wouldn't push the issue.

"Princess Lucy you may stay here, we have plenty of rooms, my son Kaleb can show you where you can stay. Kaleb if you will please." Arman ask. Kaleb nodded at his father and walked to me. He gave me his arm so that I could link mine to his. The second I touched his bare skin with mine, my body locked up. I saw a brief moment of the future of what it could be, between Kaleb and me. I turned to face him and looked into his eyes. "Virgo," I called out.

"Yes princess?" she responded when she reached my side.

"Let Father know to cancel the marriage introductions. He won't be needing them, I've found my future." I informed, still looking into Kaleb's eyes. She agreed and left in a shower of stardust.

"Kaleb, I've waited a long time to meet you my destined one, please tell me you are at least open to the idea of the vision we shared of our future?" I spoke closing the distance between us. I did not care his family was watching us in awe or shock. I only cared for the man in front of me now.

"The vision I saw was of us with a family and several children, we were happy and very much in love. I'm not open to it I want you to be my promised right this second so that no other may take you from me." He responded and closed the distance fully. He pulled me into his arms and kissed me. My mind went blank for a few seconds before I melted into the kiss and into him. In the back ground I could hear his father shouting with glee and then running around yelling about papers and promises. When we pulled away there stood a slightly disheveled Arman holding a paper and pen out to Kaleb and myself.

"Just needs your signatures to make you both official, so please sign right on that dotted line." He said pointed to the lines. Once Kaleb and I signed the papers he started vibrating a bit. Concerned I placed my hand on his shoulder, "are you alright Arman?"

"Perfectly alright, say Lucy may I ask something of you?" he asked.

"If it is something I am able to do, you have my word, what is it you want to ask of me?" I tilted me head to the side in confusion.

"Will you give myself and your father many grandchildren?" he asked.

Well darn, now I know why Kaleb and I had so many children in that vision, his father made my give my word beforehand. What a sneaky man.

We all know how scary and sneaky Arman is, this is just more proof lol. i cannot wait to see what you all thought of this chapter. please review :D
