Chapter 12
I couldn't find my voice. I knew I was making Dimitri nervous by not saying anything. So, instead of saying all the romantic and mushy things that would definately scare some people, I threw myself in his arms. I think I surprised him because he took a few moments to realize what was happening. "So should I taake that as a yes?" he asked. I finnaly found my voice. "Of course." I replied. I pulled back to look in his eyes. I could see that I had just made his day, if not his whole life. He helped me stand back up, and then he slid the ring on the proper finger on my left hand. I pulled it back to look at it in the light. It was gorgeous. Once he got up, I kissed him. Then I kissed him again. And After the third kiss, I knew exactly where this was going tonight.
Mmm. I rolled over, and Dimitri was already up and looked like he had just got out of the shower. "Hey. I was wondering if I were going to have to wake you up. We have to go see Lissa and Micheal this mornig at the meeting." Oh yeah. I rolled out of the bed, and got a really fast shower. I put on some jeans and a red tee, and even though jewlrey wasn't the best idea for a guardian, I put on my ring. That made Dimitri smile. I just had to tell Lissa.
As we walked to where the meeting was being held, I wondered what would happen. What if they didn't believe us? Or what if they just didn't care, Lissa got her spot, and it didn't help any issue that was happening. I shoved those what if's out of my head when I saw Lissa walking around the entrance, waiting for me or Christian. I decided to tell her now, while I had her alone. "Hey! There you guys are. Uh, whats wrong with Rose?" she asked. I realized I was smiling like an idoit. "Um Lissa. Come around here, I wanna talk to you for a sec." She looked confused but followed me a few steps away from all the people going into the meeting. Dimitri started to stay back, but i dragged him along too. "So, what is it?" She asked, her curosity getting the best of her. I gave her my left hand. She studied it for a moment and through the bond I felt confusion..and then...Bang! She was estatic once she realized what she was looking at She Talked me with a hug, and she was almost teared up too! Then she looked at Dimitri (she still feels like a mother to him, so this was kind of funny) She was still overly happy, but she narrowed her eyes at him and said,"Its about dang time. What were you waiting on, for her to turn thrity?" But she smiled, along with him, and gave him a hug too. "You know I'm tottaly planning this, right? Oh, and I expect to be your maid of honor." she told me. "Of course, wouldn't dream of it other wise." It was still funny to see her get worked up over this, but then I thought of how Adrian would react. Lissa was thinking the same. 'He would be happy that you were happy.' She told me in my head. I gave her a smile and nodded. "We better get back, because you have to be up there soon." I said, breaking the silence that was going on outside my head. She quickly remembered it and hurridly walked towards the door.
The person conducting this meeting was being conducted by an Ivashkov who's name I couldn't place. He didn't waste time on irrelevant stuff, like how we found him. I actually had to help explain some things with Lissa, seeing as I was her guardian. One of the first questions he asked was,"Has there been a DNA test to prove that Micheal is truly a Dragimor?" Uh oh. I looked at Lissa, who was sitting between me and Micheal. She spoke up,"Yes. It proved positive." I gave her a look that said what the hell? 'Last night while your were busy doing whatever.' she told me through the bond. Oh, I can see how I didn't realized it through my...distraction. The man nodded, and then asked me,"How did you come to know about this?" I guessed it was ok to mention the queens note now. Good thing I had thought to bring it with me. "Well, when I was at my hearing, before my trial, Ambrose gave me this letter, from the queen. I had to hide it until now. Here." I handed it to him. Then something occured to me. Whats going on with Ambrose? Has he been on trial yet? If so, what happened? I made a mental note to find out later. After the guy read it, he read it aloud. Every one gasped. They were thinking exactly what I wanted them too. That this was hard evidence that I didn't kill the queen. Ha. Then, after a moment of silence, he said. "You know, I think this is enough. Lissa does have every right to be on the council now, but I will ask for any objections from any of the other council members." I waited, and no one said anything. "well, we grant you permission to take your family's spot on the council, Princess Dragimor." He stood up, and i took that as a sign it was ok to move. I gave Lissa a hug, and told her "It was just about worth it. Good job, Lissa." but as soon as the words were out of my mouth., the guy turned around and sat back down. Hmm.
"There is also another order of bussiness to take care of. Now is not the time, I'm afraid, but tonight, another meeting shall be held to sort out who will be our next leader." he looked at me and had a glint of humor in his eyes. "Now..You may go." I stood up, once again, and this time everyone else did too. After everyone of our friends congrats to Lissa, and then to me, because I explained to every one about me and Dimitri, we went our seprate ways. Me and Dimitri went back to my room. Once we were there, I asked him,"Do you know what happened to Ambrose? I mean, has he had a trial yet?" Dimitri thought for a second, then replied, "i sat with Tasha during the meeting, and we talked about that. He did plead guilty, thank god. But his...er Exicution isn't for a few more days. Four, I think?" I sighed, and made up my mind that I did not want to watch that. Then, another thought hit me.
"Oh, and when you were...strigoi...I went to Baia. I told ou about it. Do you remember?" I hated bringing up his past life, but this was important. "Yes, you said you met my family." he replied. I continued,"Well, I told them you were strigoi. Your clearly not any more, and i think it would be a good thing to tell them, ecspecialy sice we're...getting married. I don't really know how they'll take it, but its best if we do it in person. And I might want to like, prepare them first, because if you just came walking in I'm pretty sure some one would have a heart attack." I barely took a breath, and I was breathing heavily by the time I finished. He loked almost sad, but then again thoughtful. "I guess your right. Its been so long...And they knew about the whole strigoi thing..Hm. I can't remember correctly. Did you tell them about us?" He said. I shook my head. "No. But we all told stories about you, and they all wanted to hear from me because I had been with you for the past year, and I reckon they figured it out. I couldn't stop crying for the forst thing, and then..we'll I guess I suck at hiding things." He nodded, then gave me a small smile. "Well, i guess we're going to Russia." I smiled back. "I don't want to be here when they...deal with Ambrose. And we have to wait for the meeting tonight..but maybe we could go ahead and leave..tommorow?" I really wanted to go, because I remembered last time how when Sidney was the one explaining thing, I felt empty. That was supposed to be him. He nodded. "Of course. That will be fine, and we'll book us a flight." I smiled. It wasn't near time for bed, but I was pretty dang hungry for some lunch.
