The return of Prince Vegeta and More info on the prince that isn't born yet, basically this chapter is all about Kings and Princes.
Frieza's POV
I woke up the next day mid-afternoon Arisian time. I had one of the worst hangovers I have had since high school but I sat myself up on of bed anyway. I stretched and cursed under my breath getting dizzy when I sat up. Lucy was sitting at her vanity brushing the curls out of her hair. "Gather your things." I commanded and stood up. "A-alright Frieza." She said jumping she obviously didn't hear me get up. She picked up her small box that held her necklace she already had it on though. "Is that all your taking?" I asked rubbing my forehead and putting on my scouter. She nodded, "This is all I want." She said a little disappointed. "You're not upset we are leaving are you?" I asked pressing on my scouter I had to tell Zarbon to pick us up so Lucy didn't have to walk so far again. "No…well, sort of…this is my home you know." She said a trace of sadness attempted to be hidden with a smile. "No I don't know; if I were you this would be no place I would want to call home. The planet it's self maybe but not here." I said. "But Fr-" she began but I held out my finger stopping her mid-sentence. "Hold that thought." I said and turned on my transmitter. "Zarbon; bring the ship closer, Lucy and I will be leaving today." I said. "Understood Sire." He answered. "Excellent, now you were saying my dear?" I said turning my attention to her. "Oh…It was nothing never mind." She said looking rather embarrassed. "Alright then, let's go." I said. I took my lap top and Lucy was helpful by carrying a few papers for me. We started down the steps and Annette was standing at the bottom looking annoyed. "Good morning, we missed you at breakfast." She said giving a fake smile. "Come along Lucy" I said ignoring her and walking to the door. Lucy couldn't seem to stand leaving like this and she stopped walking and turned to face her mother. "Were actually leaving mother." Lucy said giving her mother a smile. Annette looked to me then back to Lucy giving her a look of disgust. "Could you…come to our wedding, It's going to be of Frieza's planet and I would like you to see Kuriza." Lucy said and then looked to me giving me a sweet smile then looking at her mother with hopeful eyes. "No" was all her mother said I could see that Lucy didn't understand. "N-no? Please mother I really want you to come and we cou-" Annette interrupted her. "Lucy I have no desire to see you after you have had that child or your bastard child for that matter. Your body will be a disaster…I won't be surprised if Lord Frieza throws you to his men." I felt my face grow hot. "Lucy…get on the ship, I'll wait for you there." I said. I could see her eyes watering but she gave me the best smile she could and then left the house starting towards the ship. I watched as Dodoria took what she was holding in her hands and then escorted her on the ship. "Let's get one thing straight you miserable cow! That girl cares for you, as odd as it may seem she wants your affection more than she cares to have my own. As far as I am concerned you are no longer welcome on my home world or any of the planets I am under affliction with besides this one. You should be thanking whatever god you pray to every day that Lucy is your daughter because if anyone else had spoken to her that way they would be dead before the last syllable of her name could leave their lips. But you are beginning to press your luck I can only take so much back talk to my fiancé and rudeness towards myself. Now goodbye." I said pushing my way through her and walking lazily to my ship.
When I entered I looked to Zarbon and shoved what I was holding in his arms. "Where has that girl runoff too?" I asked. "Sir, I believe Dodoria has led her to the dining hall. She mentioned something about being hungry." He said. "Right Take my things to my office, I'll go see if she needs anything then I have to make a call." I said walking past him. The hatch shut and the small jerk accrued letting me know we were officially leaving this place and Lucy could be treated as an equal once more.
Lucy's POV
I was sitting at the table and I was thinking about the things my mother had said but I was trying not to let it bother me. The door opened and Frieza walked in, "hi Frieza." I said softly. "Hello Lucy. Look I know you won't like this but I have an important call to make. I really don't like the idea of you prowling around here unsupervised. Is it alright if Dodoria watches over you?" He asked I frowned a little. "Why can't I go with you?" I asked. "Because…" He said and then looked at his feet then back to me. "Because I made you a doctor's appointment…" He said. I gave him a faint smile, "You're a bad liar Lord Frieza." I said. He gave me a smirk, "Just go to Malaka, alright? When you're done with whatever it is he'll have you do come and find me in my office." He said and started to turn around. "Where do you think you are going?" I asked trying to match his forceful tone. "To work why?" he said turning his head to the side. "You didn't kiss me." I said back to my usual cheerful voice. "Is that all? Well here." He said and placed a warm soft kiss on my lips.
Frieza's POV
I entered my office and let out a sigh it felt odd with Lucy not clinging to my arm. "Get out" I said lazily moving towards my desk. "R-right" Zarbon stuttered and he and Dodoria left. Once the door was shut I pressed a button on my desk making the screen come down, "Call quadrants E33Q76G, Eastern Galaxy." I said leaning back in my chair and facing the screen. It rang twice and then my father picked up. "Frieza…to what do I owe the pleasure." He said happily. "I wish this was a call to share a good story but I assure you it's not." I said. "I needed to tell you something…it's important and I need you to pass it on to mother as well." I said seriously. "Well, what is it?" he asked looking surprised. I have never called my father to confide in him before but this was not for my sake. "I thought you were supposed to be on Arise for at least another week…why leave early?" he asked cheerfully knowing there was a juicy answer. "I was getting there." I said. "I'm calling you to talk to you about Lucy." He seemed to be paying more attention now. "This is very awkward for me to tell you so please don't interrupt." I started and when I noticed he wasn't going to say anything I took a deep breath and then let it out then began my story. "Lucy's father…" but he interrupted me. "Charming man isn't he? I always knew you would hate him, that's why I offered to take the planets on my control instead." I gave him a look of annoyance. "You said you wouldn't interrupt!" I whined. "I said no such thing…but I'll behave go on with it." It took me a moment to start up again. "This part do not tell to mother! When Lucy was younger…her father…he…well he…you know." I said not able to say the words out loud and I could feel myself blushing. "I do?" he said smartly. "He...he went down on her alright." I said annoyed. He was listening now very intently. "Frieza…I'm sure you're kidding right?" he asked un amused his smile was now nonexistent. "You really think I would tell such a cruel lie about her?" I said rolling my eyes. "That's the part you can never tell a soul! She doesn't even know and I know how mother likes to run her mouth." I said. "I won't tell anyone even if you wanted me to I'll do my best to forget it. You really should give your mother more credit...she knows when to hold her tongue." I shot him yet another look of annoyance. "Anyhow; so I told Orpheus that I knew, I had figured it out a long time ago. He went on about how it was a moment of weakness and some details I'm not going to repeat. Then later that evening Lucy was insulted by her mother at diner and left the room and then the two of them asked that I stay. So being too plastered to stand up right I stayed for a moment. Orpheus brought to my attention that I had taken a liking to his pig of a wife and then they proposed me a proposition. Orpheus said that he would let me use his wife for a night in exchange that I let him do the same with Lucy. I of course said no and that they both should look into evaluation as soon as possible." I let out a breath. "Also Annette made it very clear to Lucy that she did not want anything to do with our 'half-breed' and Lucy would be luck that after she had given birth that I did not throw her to my soldiers." My father cut his eyes to the side and then back to me.
"Please tell me you left them alive at least?" he asked. "I didn't touch them…though I should have killed them." I said rubbing my eyes. "Hangover?" he asked and I nodded. "You shouldn't drink so much at your age." My father said mockingly taking a drink of his wine. "Please you sound like Lucy, that's all that girl ever does is worry about my sake." I said pouring myself a glass and taking a long drink. "She isn't called the kindest in the Northern Galaxy for just laughs." My father said. I shrugged my shoulders. "She can pack a punch when she is provoked." My father smiled. "Well that's good she'll need moxy if she's going to be in our family." I heard a small knock at my door and turned. "Who is it?" I spat. "I-it's me" Lucy mumbled. "Come in" I said. The door slid open and Lucy marched inside looking quite scared. "What is it?" I asked. "I don't want to go alone." She said glancing up at my father then back to me. "Ah, well never mind the whole thing I guess, were done disusing important matters anyhow." I patted my lap and she sat down slowly. "Hello sir…" Lucy's small voice cooed looking nervously at my father. "Hi there Lucy, my grandson is doing well I hope? The word over the grape vine is that you two plan to name him Kuriza?" he asked and her eyes seemed to sparkle. "Yes he is! He's started kicking now and Frieza picked out the name don't you love it?" my father looked startled by her sudden outburst but tried to appear excited for her. "Yes I rather like the name Kuriza we almost named him that you know. It means brave hearted, and Frieza means positive or happy, you could see why he would rather that name." Lucy gave my father a smile. "I'm not sure what my name means…" Lucy said. "But I like the name Frieza. It sounds cool to say." She said flattering me. "It's a girl's name" I spat glaring at my father. "Frieza we've been over this dozens of times its unisex." I rolled my eyes. "I've never me a boy with the name Frieza." I said. "Have you ever met another person with the name Frieza? Honestly we wanted to name you something unique and this is the thanks we get?" He said smiling. I smiled and rolled my eyes. "Whatever." I said. Lucy was beaming I liked when she had a good time.
"You are on your way here then?" my father asked. I nodded. "I suppose so." I said. "How long my Lord?" Lucy asked looking into my eyes. "Not sure, A month give or take a few weeks." I said. "Why so long?" she asked. "We are in the Northern Galaxy; my planet is in the Eastern Galaxy. It is a very long ways away." I said playing with the ends of her hair. "I've never been to another Galaxy before." She said awe stricken. "Don't expect a tour my sweet. I'm not happy about traveling into foreign lands." I said. "Hardly foreign; you are Prince of these lands." I laughed heartedly at his statement. "Prince now am I? From what I hear my 'loyal subjects' prefer Coolers rule to mine these days." My father gave me a light smirk. "No, they prefer yours. But I can't say they are happy with your choice in companionship. They all would have hoped you would choose the Versin girl; you know her father is the general of my army." "Ah yes, the woman that had more facial hair than I did? Wonderful match it would have been, shame I went for beauty other than brawn." I said sarcastically cutting my eyes at Lucy. "Not saying I would like her in our family either but she really is a nice girl." My father said. "Nice, please when I was in high school she wrecked my hover bike because I wouldn't take her for a ride." I said defensively. "Why not take her for a spin? You never had a girlfriend throughout all of your school days." He smiled at me. "So many girls around the courtyards but you never seemed to fancy one over the other." I smiled back at him. "Don't take this the wrong way Lucy. But I had needs and they were more than willing to fulfill their Princes desire." I stroked Lucy's hair and gave it a slight tug. "Why take Lucy here as a stunning example, I needed my needs fulfilled and she was kind enough to let her Lord have his way with her." My father looked slightly confused. "Your point in saying all this?" he asked. "Pussy is pussy father." This caused him to let out a chuckle of laughter. Lucy shifted uncomfortably, "darling don't fret." I said. "Indeed my girl Frieza lost interest in women of our race after he had gotten aquatinted with all of the higher-ups daughters." I rolled my eyes. "Knock it off father you're going to hurt her feelings." I said seeing Lucy looking more uncomfortable by the second. "Alright, alright; well I have work to be done and I can say the same for you as well. Lucy, Frieza take care, see you in a few weeks." He said and I hung up. I let out a long sigh and looked over at Lucy. "What?" I asked. She looked away nervously. "Nothing it's just…I didn't know you had a lot of girls." I smirked at her and moved her hair from her eyes. "Awe, don't be jealous my dear. If I would have known you back then I assure I would have loved you all the same as I do now." She smiled and looked at what was on my desk. "Are you busy?" she asked. "I'm always busy." I said sighing and looking through the papers.
"I kind of wanted to go to Malaka." She said hopeful. I looked at my work and then into her eyes. "Alright, I'll take you." I said and she leapt from my lap and hurried to the door waiting for me. "I'm coming, I'm coming." I said standing up and followed her out the door. We entered his office; it was littered with wounded soldiers. "Where is Malaka!" I commanded the room grew silent as people realized I was present. "R-right her Lord Frieza!" He said shoving his way through a few men. He looked at Lucy's smiling face and then to me. "Is something the matter with the Princess?" He asked worried. "No she's quite alright, but I would like her to have a quick look at to make sure everything is running smoothly." Lucy hugged onto my arm and gazed up at me in wonder. I gave her a quick glace and then waited for his answer. "R-right now, w-well I'm sure I can. Just one moment I need to clear a room." He stuttered out and hurried away. "Thank you Frieza" Lucy exclaimed. "For? I'm always happy to make time for you although sometimes it's impossible." I said puffing out my chest. A few seconds later I let out an annoyed sigh. Lucy looked to me confused. "I don't like waiting." I told her. "Me either." She said happily. "Trust me, I know." I said and began twirling the ends of her hair. "Lord Frieza I cleared a room for the Princess, if you could just follow me please." Malaka announced around the corner. Lucy led the way and I followed a few feet behind her.
He led us into the room that Lucy was use too and she sat on the bed. "Change in to this for me please my Lady." Malaka said handing her a medical gown. Malaka left the room and Lucy got changed in a hurry and got back on to her bed looking excited. Lucy giggled and stuck her hand in the hole in the center. "Is she finished?" Malaka crooked from behind the door. "Yes I'm done." Lucy said happily. "Lay down if you would my Lady." He asked politely and Lucy did so. "You are content then?" I asked smoothing back her bangs from her flawless features. "Yes sir." She cooed softly. "Right then I'll be leaving you then. Malaka, be sure one of my top soldiers will escort her back to me. You will NOT send her back to me by some low level am I well understood?" I ordered my eyes on Malaka forcefully. "Y-yes of course Lord Frieza Sir, I would never dream of putting her in any danger." He said nervously. "Kiss" Lucy said leaning closely to me and touching her lips. I leant forward and gave her a quick kiss and then nodded to her before leaving the room.
Lucy's POV
I watched Frieza leave the room dreading the sight of him leaving me alone. "Right well if you are ready Miss…" he said still nervous from Frieza's threat. "L-lay back down please." He said. "Oh right I'm sorry." I said lying back on the uncomfortable bed. He pulled out the goo he had used before and squirted it onto my bare stomach. I winced at the cold and he jumped as though he had hurt me and looked at me panicked. "Chilly." I said giving him a warm smile. He hesitated but then he took out the device he had used to show me Kuriza. "Are you going to show him to me again!" I asked happily. "I-I was its always healthy to have a few looks at a child before it's born. I was smiling as he put the device on my tummy and spread around the gel. "There's his head here." He said point in the screen and I could clearly make him out. "Right here is his tail. Though it's hard to be because he'll have it curled until a few days after he is born." My heart leapt. "Tail, so he will take after Lord Frieza!" I asked excitedly. "Oh yes, it's more than likely that he will have every future on an Ice-jin. Their genes are very protonate especially since Lord Frieza comes from a long line of an untouched bloodline. So, this child will more than likely look as though you yourself were as Ice-jin." He said smartly. "Not that I'm complaining he will look like an ice-jin my blood line is also untouched so isn't it just as likely he could have come out looking like my people?" Malaka looked like he didn't want to answer the question but did. "No my Lady, The your race is one that will take hold of any higher gene Lord Frieza's race is very powerful your body understood that and Your child formed into one of his people. Though it is possible he may have a few of your features and abilities your people have." I nodded at his words though I didn't fully understand them. "If you would tell Lord Frieza the child's power level is a little over 10,000 right now. Since you are not an ice-jin I am a tad bit concerned. But it's a good thing his people will be doing the delivery I would hate for something to go wrong." I felt butterflies in my chest 'what could be wrong?' I questioned myself. "Alright I think that is all." He said. I stood up. "Get changed please Princess and I'll go and find you a suitable escort." He said and left the room. I looked around a bit and then I put my dress back on and sat on the bed and waited.
"Wait you can't go in there!" I heard Malaka shriek as the door burst open. "Oh hello." I said to the familiar angry little face. "I will lead you to master Frieza I am more than capable." He spat turning his gaze to the floor. Malaka opened up the door and burst inside. "Vegeta you can't she's Lord Frieza's fi-" He began but Vegeta cut him off. "I conjured planets, I'm sure I can walk a girl some place, how hard could it be? Besides I'm not happy with my mission assignments and I want master Frieza to assign me a new one." Vegeta sassed. "If you have a problem with your assignment you do not go to Lord Frieza, he's very busy, you go to mission assignment office on one of Frieza's planets or contact them through your scouter." Vegeta let out a growl at Malaka's words. "It's alright, I don't mind really." I said to Malaka. "Yes my Lady but Lord Frieza sai-" he began. "Come on." Vegeta said forcefully. "O-ok." I said and followed quickly behind him. His walk looked like royalty, his chest was puffed out and his eyes were narrowed judging those as he passed. "You are a Prince?" I asked trying to make small talk. He made a small noise of protest before answering. "Of course I am a Prince, I'm Prince Vegeta." I smiled down at him. "I'm a Princess you know." I said. He glanced at me and then back to his path. "I know, everyone knows who you are." He said slightly annoyed. "Lord Frieza's a Prince as well you know." I said and this seemed to grab his attention. "How do you know?" He asked defensively. "We're going to get married; I know lots of things about Frieza." I said in a motherly tone. He made a low growl at my response but didn't say anything. We arrived at Frieza's office and the door slid open, Frieza was laughing with Dodoria and Zarbon about something. I watched Vegeta's face become fiercer and his arms flexed. "Hi Frieza." I said sweetly. His head turned at my voice. "Hello darling, you brought the Saiyan boy?" He said not amused. "Prince Vegeta did a very good job." I said in a voice Frieza would beg to hear again. "Did he now?" Frieza said. Vegeta seemed to relax from my praise. "We have business?" Frieza asked Vegeta tilting his head slightly. "I want a new mission." Vegeta spat out. "A new mission, are you ever satisfied with what they assign?" Frieza asked with a slight grin. "Never, all of them the underestimate my abilities, you're the only person that will give me a decent challenge, my own father won't even give me soothing good." Frieza put his hand on his thinking. "Let's see, Lucy come sit by me, and vegetal have a seat." I walked over to Frieza and took a seat right next to him behind his desk, Vegeta sat in front. "Zarbon give me those mission assignments." He said with his arm outstretched and his hand open. He placed a thick file in Frieza's hand and Frieza opened it and began to search through it. "Let's see…Aser, Vansar, Tacken, Pictoria, Bl-" Vegeta's voice intervened in Frieza's reading. "Pictoria, what is that? Some low level planet in the back part of the Galaxy?" He asked. "Not at all though I'm not surprised you have never heard of it, Pictoria is a very rich planet, it is the sister planet to Arise, it's a small chunk that broke off." I gave Frieza a look of confusion. "Arise has a sister planet?" I asked. "Oh yes, several, this one however I've no use for the inhabitance." Frieza said. I didn't want him killing my people but I could hardly speak when I knew nothing about the planet even existing until now. "Arisian's, aren't they weak?" Vegeta asked. "Arisians, yes." Frieza said glancing to me. "But Pictorian's are a completely different story." He said smartly. "If you say their strong they must be right?" Vegeta asked hopeful looking like a child for the first time. "Well it is supposed they have a decent power level. But you would be the first and last to ever fight one, think of it conquering and entire race before anyone ever knew they were alive." Frieza said charmingly. "Alright I'll take it." Vegeta said hopeful. "Excellent choice, I would have chosen that when I was a boy as well." Frieza said proudly. Vegeta smiled twistedly. "Shall I mark your arrival for the next Pictoria full moon?" Frieza asked getting on his computer. "I'll take it as soon as I can." Vegeta said. "Right, will you be requesting back up?" Frieza asked peering over his computer. "Backup is un needed." He said. "The next Pictoria full moon is in fourteen days." Frieza said. "Understood" Vegeta answered and turned to leave. When he was at the door Frieza stopped him. "Oh and Vegeta, I want the Planet, keep it in tack, fully, undamaged. There is a lot of money riding on that planet and I expect to sell it full price." Frieza demanded. Vegeta nodded and left I nudged Frieza's shoulder with my own. "What is it?" He asked. "You like that little boy." I said teasingly. "Vegeta, yes I have grown very fond of him. Like you he is not afraid to speak his mind to me and when he does it he does not care about the outcome he simply says what must be said." I smiled at Frieza. "I thought you hated Saiyans" I stated. "hate is such a strong word I prefer despise or loath, but yes I do hate the Saiyan race but the child, soldier or not still has no idea what kind of game the universe is, he simply lives to fight and I feed him challengers." I nodded. "Why are you killing my people?" I asked him. "They are hardly you people, but I'm running a business here Lucy. I can't just neglect to destroy a planet because my fiancé doesn't want me to." He said and I huffed looking away from him. "Just a fiancé am I?" I sassed. "No you're also a Princess" he said with a slight smile trying to get under my skin. "Well your just stupid." I said playfully. "Stupid am I now, Hearing that from you stings a little even if you are just playing." Frieza said "Aww Frieza I'm sorry." I said lovingly. "Aww Frieza indeed why must everyone pick on me?" Frieza asked in a childish tone. "I won't pick on you Frieza." I said eagerly no longer playing I wanted his serious and strong words. "Good, someone needs to be on my side." He said and began working again. "You're my favorite person in the entire universe." I said looking at his profile. "Why is that?" he asked. "Well your smart, funny, you are unbelievably cool and on top of it all I think you're adorable." I said laying my head on his armor pad. "Thank you I think you are rather special as well." He said. "Oh right I needed to tell you Kuriza's power level is now at 10,000 whatever that means. Malaka said you might like to know." I said. "10,000 he said, that's a good start." Was all he said.
