Titus burst into Lexa's quarters. Clarke was still sleeping. Naked of course in her bed Lexa was on her back staring at the sealing when Titus found them. At first he was shocked but the news he carried out weighed the sight before him. Lexa was furious. No one is supposed to enter her quarters without permission.

"Titus," she yelled waking Clarke "what is the meaning of this?"

"Heda we have the ice queen. She is here to surrender herself. I believe it to be a trap. We cannot trust this." He spoke worry clear in his voice.

Lexa didn't move much she was still naked and wanted to avoid the questions.

"Prepare the ambassadors. We meet now."

She could taste the blood in her mouth.

Clarke still had no idea what was going on all she knew was one she was naked. Two Titus was here and three she was in the Commanders bed. She knew Lexa was about to be furious so she just stayed as still as a statue. She listen to the conversation just observing. Lexa tensed as soon as the queen was brought up. She knew this could be bad and sending a messenger to announce war was risky. But Nia played right into her hand.

Titus exited not before giving Clarke a look.

Lexa's head hit the pillow and her eyes closed.

"I will not let anyone hurt you." She whispered. Clarke barely could hear her.

"Lex." She rubbed her hand on Lexa's stomach in circles. "It's gunna be okay. I'm right here."

Lexa pushed Clarke's hand away and removed herself from the bed. She was hurrying to dress and ignoring Clarke.

"You need to dress and meet for the council. You are now the thirteenth clan ambassador you must speak on behalf of Skiakru." She had her commander face on. No emotion just determination.

"Lexa can you please just talk to me?" Clarke hadn't moved.

"No. Right now you can not be my lover. She cannot see what you mean to me. I can't let her hurt you. Now dress. We must go." Lexa's voice was cracking. Clarke knew she was thinking about Costia.

They were all seated in the council room. Clarke had to enter before to avoid any thinking. Lexa was not budging on the subject.

Lexa walked in and sat at her throne. Titus by her side and guards seated around her.

"Bring in the accused" Titus spoke softly but stern.

The guards brought forward a woman with a sack over her head. They knocked her to he knees and removed the sack. Everyone gasped it wasn't the queen it was a young girl. About Lexa's age. She had no markings of the ice nation and green eyes.

"The queen wants to send you a message commander." The girl said. "Fight and die. But her people's blood will not be spilled. The prince shall fight for her. In a fight to the death." She looked pained to say these things. She was obviously not Azgeda.

Lexa thought for a few minutes. "Very well in one month from now there will be a challenge. No more blood will be spilled. One on one combat to the death. Send a messenger to the queen. She must be present for the dual to be valid. One month time." Titus tried to speak over her to convince her not too. She wouldn't hear any of it. She stood and went to the girl.

"What is your name. You are clearly not Azgeda." Lexa said. Although she was harsh her was kept her people alive she would not harm this young girl who had done nothing wrong but bring a message.

"My name is Rome kom trikru. I am not Azgeda." She spoke as her head lowered.

"Very well take this girl to eat and get cleaned up. We will speak you in an hour to figure out what is really going on." Everyone left except Titus, Indra and Clarke.

Titus kept trying to convince Lexa not to fight to the death not with the prince but she wouldn't hear any of it.

"Indra." She asked. "Do you know this girl? Have you seen her in your village before?"

"She Heda," she answered, "if I am not mistaken it was very long ago she was Anya's second. She was captured during a hunt and never seen again. We believed it was the mountain but the ice nation could have been responsible."

"Thank you Indra. Leave us" she said. Everyone exited but her and Clarke.

"You can't do this. The prince. He will kill you." Clarke said very worried.

"You've never seen me fight." Lexa rebutted. "All will be fine. My spirit will find the next commander your people will be safe." She smiled confidently.

Clarke walked over to her and wrapped her arms around Lexa's waist. "I need your spirit to stay right where it is."
