Chapter 24

DIMITRI POV

I smiled as I entered the Infirmary, Rose was due to be released soon; I decided to check up on her, especially since, with everything that was happening lately, there was a few things we needed to discuss. I saw Rose sitting upright in bed, looking impatient, I couldn't help but smirk.

"You know, fuming about it won't make the wait any quicker." I told her, approaching.

She looked up at me and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah...still; I suppose you're right, I just, I feel fine."

I nodded. "I know, we all do, they're just making sure that everything is fine, don't forget, you'll be released, soon, either later today, or early tomorrow."

She sighed but nodded. I pondered for a moment, sitting down, finally I knew I had to talk about it.

"Rose, we need to talk...about us." I told her. "I know what we've said, the things we've endured together, but, now, with everything here, we need to decide..."

Shaking her head, Rose immediately replied. "I don't care what people think, I know what I want and what I feel."

I smiled widely, hearing that. "My thoughts exactly, but I had to make sure. So, we're together and no matter what other people think, we stand together?"

"Yes; I love you and I will do anything for you." She said.

I moved closer. "As will I, do anything for you, as I love you too."

Grinning we both kissed.

Parting for air, we both were happier than ever, we both agreed and were certain now, we would no longer hide our feelings for relationship for anything. Settling back, we sat for a while, simply enjoying each other's company. I decided to share the news I had been given.

"Well, you'll be relieved to know that any charges those...overzealous Guardians planned on pinning on you have been dropped and completely forgotten." I told her.

Rose laughed and shook her head at that. "Really, that must have been tough for them to swallow. What about, about Viktor and Tasha?"

I explained. "They're currently both imprisoned, it's been decided there is no need for a trial, they'll have their sentences decided soon..."

"Good." Rose smiled.

She saw my expression however and raised an eyebrow.

"What else has happened?" She asked, noting I wasn't done.

I grinned and then told her. "I know you weren't one for ceremony, so I convinced them to skip it. As of now, you are officially, if perhaps a little prematurely, a full-fledged Guardian."

Rose gasped at that and I tried to stifle my laughter; this was significant after all, Rose was now the youngest official Guardian in history.

"That is...wow..." She gasped.

I nodded and also added some more news. "Also, Lissa has been working hard, she's recovered all the ground she lost in the race for the crown...It's almost time, the crowning ceremony will be held soon, the final three will meet to determine who the final choice will be."

Rose smiled at that. "Good, here's hoping Lissa wins, if anyone is perfect to be Queen, it's Lissa."

"Indeed, well, you should be out by then."

"I can't wait." Rose muttered.

I laughed and nodded.

So it was, the following day, I approached the infirmary again, Rose was due to be released. I saw her leaving, fully dressed, just as I approached.

"Well, well, someone's happy." I quipped as she saw me.

Grinning she nodded. "Of course, I'm finally out of there. I better get back into practice, what do you say about some more...training?"

I laughed. "Indeed, well, we can get down to that. But first, how are you?"

"Better, much better, everything's fine, I've made a full recovery, the bandages are gone." She explained before smirking, eyes dancing. "Apart from a small scar on my chest, no sign of any attack remains...wanna see."

A few months ago, I would have choked or got angry at such a comment, not I just snorted, trying not to laugh.

"Maybe...another time?" I replied, making it clear I was definitely considering it.

"Oh, absolutely." She replied with a wicked grin.

Satisfied we both began to walk away, as we did so, I updated Rose on the race for the throne.

"Well; it's finally come down to the final three, tomorrow will be the last day, where the new monarch will be crowned...Lissa is one of the three."

Rose nodded; both of us knew exactly the same thing, we would stand by Lissa, as far as we were concerned, everything rode on her success.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
