Lucy's POV
After I was changed I came down stairs and he was waiting for me. "I cannot express how much more I like you this way; you are my sweet and polite lady not a ruffian." He said and I took him by the arm and let him lead me to go eat some lunch "Did you have fun today Frieza?" I asked as I sat down. "It was alright I suppose." Frieza said sitting down at the head of the table. "Miss me?" I asked. He paused and then smirked looking at me, "Yes, I won't lie and say I didn't miss your company." He said. "Really?" I asked happily I hadn't expected him to miss me. "I said yes." He said and I could tell he was annoyed. I listened to him as he talked about his day as I ate and then he led me to his room. He said he needed to work so I sat on his bed and watched TV while he did worked something I had never done before. "I've never watched TV before." I said to him and he smiled. "I wouldn't doubt it, Arise doesn't use electricity." He said. "I know I can't tell you how shocked I was the first time I saw a light switch." I said giggling. "Do you want my help working it or are you figuring it out on your own?" He asked. "You can help me." I said and he came over to me and subtitles appeared at the bottom of the screen and he showed me how to flick through shows. I watched for a while until I noticed him watching me. "What is it?" I asked. "Nothing, I just realized you had a late lunch is all. It's almost time for diner." He said lazily. "I'll get ready then." I said and pushed myself up from his bed and went to go and get ready for another long night ahead.
"Hurry along." Frieza said standing at the door impatiently. "I'm trying" I said putting the last touches on my hair. "You look fine now come on." He said walking out the door and I had to run to catch up with him. "Try not to walk so fast please." I said grabbing his arm. "Maybe you should learn to walk a little faster." He said nudging me making me lose my footing but since I had a hold of him he didn't let me fall. "I'm walking as fast as my feet will let me they are so sore from walking around town all day." I said leaning against him slightly. "Forgive me for making you go, I thought maybe you would enjoy some time away from boring old me." He said smirking and the door man opened up the door for us to enter. "Why is everyone staring at us?" I asked him nervously. "Were late" He said touching my back leading me to walk. "Frieza, Lucy nice of the two of you to join us." His father said. "I had to wait for my Lady." He said pulling out my seat for me to sit. "S-sorry" I said to all the faces in the room. Frieza chuckled, "Don't apologies you've done nothing wrong." Frieza said only to me as he took his seat at the head of the table. Frieza began talking with the person next to him and the woman at my side began talking to me.
Frieza's POV
"Your Highness" the man said to me interrupting my train of thought. I glanced in his direction I was familiar with him and I was disgruntled that he had been seated next to me. "My Lord I was wondering what does the Princess wish to be called on speaking terms?" he asked and I shrugged my shoulders lamely. "I know you, yourself wish do not to be called by your first name witch is very respectable of you my Lord but I am not familiar with Arisian customs." He said I sighed and gave him a warning glair. "Why not just ask her? She can speak you know." I said rudely. But Mr. Nigen if I am remembering his name correctly never picked up on sarcasm; nor did he ever know when it would be best to not speak or stop speaking. The only reason he has lived this long is that my father uses him as his go-to-guy when he does not want to work anymore from what I hear he does a better at what we do than my father himself. "Of course my Lord I'll do that straight away." He said. "Girl" He said in Lucy's direction but she did not hear she was busy giggling. "Excuse me Girl." He said louder and it took everything in me not to tear his tongue out from his throat. Lucy looked up with the look much like when her mother yells at her suddenly. "I-I'm sorry." Lucy said softly. "The court was wondering what you would like to be called at social meetings?" He asked her most of the table was doing the right thing and hanging their heads or carrying on their conversations. "G-girl is fine…" Lucy said sadly and so quietly it was almost a whisper. "No it is not fine." I said loudly. "Frieza…Help, I don't know what to say…" She whimpered she must have notice almost everyone was watching her every move awaiting her answer. "You will address the princess as though you were speaking to me? Do I make myself perfectly clear?" I said dangerously. Lucy let out a whimpered sigh. "Perfectly clear I will make note of it at the next council meeting." "As if you would need to ask how to address Prince Frieza's fiancée. Shame on you for putting her on the spot." the woman sitting next to Lucy barked. "Do you need to step out for a moment or two?" I whispered in her ear. She shook and hung her head in defeat. "Please don't hang your head that way…"I asked her and she did not respond. I touched her back and sighed turning away, drinking down the rest of my wine. Caviar was gone and as was salad and I had been drinking heavily through it all. Lucy was upset and I could not console her here and she refused to let me take her out for a few seconds. I could see the look she gets right before she started to cry on her face she was very uncomfortable and upset and drinking was the only way I knew to deal with it. When it wasn't working I switched to whiskey it tasted horrible but at least I got Lucy off my mind for a while. The man to my left had now become enjoyable and I was carrying on a conversation with him about my father until he glanced at Lucy and changed the subject. "Honestly my Lord how do you deal with her when she behaves this way?" He asked and I pointed to my empty glass as I raised it waiting for it to be refilled. "It may not hurt to ruff her up a bit if you catch my drift." He said and I smiled his way. "You mean hit her?" I said and he nodded. "You are in no position to tell me how to treat my fiancée." I said glancing over at my Lucy who had unfortunately heard what he had said. "Frieza wouldn't do that!" She snapped and I leant back in my chair showing I wasn't going to stop her from yelling at the man. "M-my Lady you have it all wrong I w-" "Frieza would never hit me Frieza said so himself!" She said pushing up from her seat and I laughed coldly. "R-right Princess I was mistaken, please forgive my rudeness." He said and she pouted and crossed her arms before slouching down in her seat again. "My, my; you should know better Nigen. Insulting a Cold right in front of their face, you are lucky she has no knowing of fighting or you most likely would not be sitting here at this moment." My father said amused by Lucy's outburst. "Seems some of my son's personality has rubbed off on her." He said. "Or what I've rubbed off in her." I said letting the table erupt in laughter. "It's all those hormones my dear." I said and that seemed to make her smile slightly. Most likely that little stunt would make the others mind what they say around her. When some time had passed Lucy seemed to be cheered up while she ate she let the woman next to her smooth her hair and she seemed to be enjoying the attention. I picked at my food and then pushed it away I had too much of a headache to eat anything. "Do you not feel good Frieza?" Her honey like voice asked. "Not necessarily." I said. To my surprise she didn't gush on me about it she just went back to eating. After she finished her desert I took her up to bed with me where I fell asleep almost instantly.
