Chapter 4
After an interesting conversation with his father, Prince Vegeta returned to the large room, which was used for tutoring. Only to find that Kakarot and Bardock were not here anymore. "Where is Kakarot?"
"Bardock took him home," Nappa answered quickly. "The visiting hours are over."
Ever since King Vegeta and Bardock agreed that Prince Vegeta and Kakarot were going to be the mates, they set up the visiting hours due to the safety reason. If Kakarot and Bardock were to leave the castle during night, then they would have even higher chance of getting attacked by a jealous and enraged Saiyan compared to leaving during day. Almost every female and submissive Saiyan on the red planet wanted to be mated with their precious prince.
"Nappa?" Raditz opened the door, but did not enter the room fully. "I need your help with this stubborn person. Said he wouldn't leave without seeing King Vegeta first."
"Ugh, not again!" Nappa almost whined. At least one person wanted to see King Vegeta everyday. Sometimes they came here for no reason. "My Prince, I'll be right back."
Vegeta shrugged his shoulders, not really caring about what Nappa and Raditz do. He was the Saiyan Prince and did not need to know every person's task.
He decided not to wait for Nappa to come back, so he started to pick up his worksheets and textbooks from the tutoring session. He heard the door opening. Nappa came back already? That's quick.
When he turned around, he realized that it was not Nappa. It was not also a Saiyan. It was… a weird white alien with this strange purple surface on his head. "Who are you? You're not supposed to be in the palace without my father's permission."
"Why, of course we've never met before. You must be Prince Vegeta, as you very much resemble your father. My name is Lord Frieza, the business partner of your father."
Vegeta frowned in confusion. "I thought you were waiting for my father at your spaceship?"
"I got bored, so I came here to find your father. I also wanted to see what your castle's inside looks like. My message for King Vegeta is not way too important anyway. It's a… lord and king thing."
Vegeta rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Don't treat me like a baby! I am the Saiyan Prince! I'll be the future king! So, I have the right to know what it is about!"
Frieza smirked in amusement. "Sorry, it's classified, but I can tell you one different secret. I'm thinking about going to the secret place after the chat with your father today."
"Secret place? What is it?"
"Come here."
Vegeta narrowed his eyes in distrust, but his curiosity got better of him. He walked over to Frieza.
"It's just an old battlefield. It's not interesting, but that place is very dangerous. I don't think your father will let you go there," Frieza whispered into Prince Vegeta's ear.
"What? That's bullshit!"
"It's not like you can go there anyway. It's right outside the city – oh whoops. I should not have told you so much," Frieza turned to the door. "I have to go. Can't keep your father waiting for me or else he will get any angrier than he already is. It's nice to meet you."
"Yeah… nice to meet you too," Vegeta watched as Frieza left to the hallway.
As Frieza was walking pass Nappa, the guard bowed his head quickly and shortly.
"Vegeta…" Nappa said worriedly, as he entered the room.
"He doesn't seem as bad as you always told me," Vegeta crossed his arms, scowling at his guard.
"But, Prince…"
"Take me to Kakarot's house," Vegeta interrupted him.
~~ROAR~~
King Vegeta was beyond frustrated. As soon as he heard that Lord Frieza was waiting for him, he went to his spaceship right away. Unfortunately, Lord Frieza wasn't there. It turned out that the alien went to his castle, so King Vegeta returned there.
"WHERE THE HELL IS HE?" King Vegeta yelled at one of his stoic elites, who were used to the outrages. It was one of the Vegeta family's traits, after all. They expected this to happen. Two elite Saiyans were standing at either side of the double door in the throne room.
"He said he wanted to take a walk because he is bored," an elite Saiyan said calmly.
"BORED?" King Vegeta exploded.
"Calm down. I'm here," Lord Frieza walked into the room just in time to see the unhappy king. "I just took a short walk."
"I was kind enough to stop spending time with my son just so I could come to your spaceship and hear your important message," King Vegeta snapped at him. "But no, you weren't there!"
"That's because you are slow."
King Vegeta had this strong urge to power up an energy ball and blow up the fag alien. But he pushed it away, and instead he said, "What is it?"
"For the last few days, your young people have been gathering near my spaceship. It seems like they hate the idea of us planning to build a laboratory for the war virus research. I would love for you to ask them to leave as soon as possible. If they have something to complain about, they should go straight to you instead of me. After all, you are their king."
"Very well. I apologize for their behavior. I will ask them to leave you alone," King Vegeta almost sighed.
"Good. If they don't leave in two days, then your planet will meet its doom," Frieza smirked lightly. "I'll be returning to my spaceship. I expect you to do your job as soon as possible."
King Vegeta almost growled at the thought of following Lord Frieza's order, but held himself back. Instead he said nothing and waited until his so-called partner left.
~~ROAR~~
Bardock blinked in surprise. He was about to start the bath for Kakarot when he heard knocks. He opened the door and was surprised to see Nappa and Prince Vegeta. "Prince Vegeta? What are you doing here? We recently left… our visiting hours are over."
"I'm here for Kakarot," Vegeta simply said.
Suddenly, Bardock lightened up at the request for his son. "Yes… yes, of course you are! KAKAROT!"
Small steps could be heard from upstairs. Soon, he came downstairs to the door. "Noooo, I don't want bath – Oh, hi Vegeta!"
Bardock pushed Kakarot lightly out of the house. "Go and play outside."
Nappa said, "Bardock, I'll watch –"
The third-class soldier pulled him inside, "You, Nappa, come inside! It's better that we leave them…" He gave him a knowing look. "Alone."
Nappa knew what he was talking about. The more Vegeta and Kakarot interacted, the higher chance they would fall in love with each other eventually. But… he was more concerned whether Prince Vegeta would be safe with Kakarot alone. "But –"
"I just want to talk to Kakarot alone," Vegeta said.
"Well, there you go!" Bardock said, almost cheerfully. He took Nappa's hand and pulled him into the living room.
"Ok, what is it? You don't come here often… except bringing weird ideas with you," Kakarot pouted cutely.
"My ideas are not weird!" Vegeta snapped. "Whatever. I just heard about this cool place! It's a secret, so I can't really tell you much about it."
Now, Kakarot was interested. "So, how are we supposed to go there?"
"Watch me." Vegeta smirked, as he got into Kakarot's house. "Nappa, can we go to the training area now? You know, the one near here."
"That's great! Vegeta and Kakarot can use it as a sparring match!" Bardock clapped once.
Nappa got up from the couch fast. "I'm coming with them. As their guard, I have to protect them from harm!"
"Have fun with your Prince, Kakarot!" Bardock grinned widely.
Kakarot almost flinched at the grin on his father. I mean, his father almost never grinned like that… unless something was up. But then he forgot about it when he heard two certain words. "My Prince?"
"Shooo!" Bardock was more than eager to get them out of his house. "See you later!"
"Kakarot, why is your father acting weird?" Vegeta raised an eyebrow.
Kakarot shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows?"
