********* Lord Cumba *********
Excellent, my cousin has informed me almost an hour ago that they were but
six hours away from landing. All was going smoothly I had already sent for
the ones who would carry out the execution of the "former" queen once
sentence has been passed by the king, my cousin for the treason she plotted
not to mention her attempted murder of her own son. The very best part of
course was that Arteesia was COMPLETELY unaware of this. I had already
informed (A/N:said with dripping sarcasm)"her majesty" that her mate would
arrive home soon with a "surprise" just for her. I smiled thinking how
excited I was to at last see you younger cousin. Vegeta had told me he
looked very much like he when he was a brat, save that his hair tone was
his dams. How many memories seeing that brat would invoke of mine and
Vegeta's past when we were younger. I was also excited about seeing our new
queen and mate to my cousin. He had shown me her image he gleaned from his
son once before while he was in telepathic contact. Though now he informed
me she looked more dragon than human. Vegeta never ceased to amaze me with
the power of his mind. He could do more than telepathy but he had gone
through extreme training and discipline not to accidentally use those
capabilities as he had as a young brat. This was well since I could only
imagine how it's strength had increased while he concentrated his efforts
in locating his son. I had to admit at first I felt his attempts were
pointless. Till that morning he had told me he was certain he had touched
his son's mind. I was never happier to learn my younger cousin lived. I was
happier still for my cousin, especially since he had had so many
disappointments and betrayals all through out his life. Now all his efforts
have yielded what he wanted most a devoted, caring mate and his son. If I
knew him though he would have more than the one brat. Few besides myself
and my mate Lehree knew how deeply he loved brats and wished to have many.
He'd make the excuse that he should be generous with his blood and have
more offspring to mate and strengthen yet other houses blood lines. Hmph!
generous indeed, he just wouldn't admit he was as Lehree had put it "brat
crazy". I wondered what his and his new mates offspring would look like.
Would they have her dragon traits too? Or would they not manifest them at
all? It would be exciting to find out either way. "Sir, they are here."
Stated Psargus whom was acting as my secretary while Kak was away. "Good...
send them in." I replied. I rose from my chair and nodded my greeting to
each lady in turn as they entered my office. The first was Madam Katie, the
second Lady Pteska, the third young Warrior Super-elite Seastorm, four was
Lady Cheech, oft times called Lady Cheech the crazed, and lastly my own
mate Lady Lehree. I had told Lehree to inform the other ladies before hand
of the grave nature of this occasion however I noted that not one of them
wore an expression of grimness. Rather they all had the glint of
anticipation in their eyes. No doubt the proposition of executing the
former queen was a pleasure. There were few Saiyajins if any who actually
LIKED their queen. Many already knew of her treasonous actions and found it
distasteful that she was "hiding" from punishment by using the law in HER
favour. Soon all would here of her heinous crime against her own child and
wish they were given this opportunity. "Ladies I trust Lady Lehree has
already briefed you on the full list of crimes committed the accused?" I
asked. They all nodded in unison. "Good then you know why I have summoned
you here." "With in less than 6 hours our King shall be returning home...
with the young prince." I informed them. There was a collective gasp as
eyes went wide in amazement then joy. "They young prince lives.... truly?"
Asked Madame Katie. "Indeed he is and is in fine health as well." "It seems
he survived his dam's attack on him, as well as a nine day journey without
nourishment to a world where he was fortunately found by a kind native whom
took and raised him as her own." "Since the law states that should a mate
turn against their other mate the wronged mate is free of the bond allowing
them to seek another mate." "With that I am pleased to inform you that our
King has mated the very native that had raised the young prince and that
she is of Dragon-kind." I related to them. Once again there was collective
sounds of surprise, all positive. It seemed they too were pleased to have a
queen of dragon blood on the throne. I figured all our world would be
pleased in one way or another. It was well known that dragons are among the
most powerful of beings and thus would give great strength and power to the
throne if not the Saiyajin people as well. Though for myself I was pleased
because she was what my cousin needed and would be far better than any
other she-Saiyajins I could think of. "What does she look like?" Asked Lady
Pteska. "How did she find the prince?" queried Warrior Seastorm. "How come
she wasn't mated before?... not that I'm upset about it though." Asked my
own mate. I held my hand up to forestall any other inquiries. "First, from
what I have been shown she is a petite, lovely, mature woman of seeming
noble bearing." "As well as having a kind and generous nature." "Second she
found our prince in a pod, heavily bruised, beaten, and starved." "Lastly
She had HAD a mate who was killed in a accident not too long ago." "As the
woman, who's name is Reginleif and her other children had no others to look
out for them our king offered them refuge here and later convinced
Reginleif to be his mate." I answered. "What does the young prince look
like?" asked Lady Cheech. "From what his Majesty has told me much like
himself. I replied. Each smiled nodding in approval though I was certain
even if he looked nothing of my cousin they'd not care. It was enough to
know their prince lived and was well. "If that is all ladies I bid you to
prepare yourselves for the activities ahead." I said. They nodded and
happily left to prepare. "At last we will have justice, won't we Cumba."
Said my mate before she left with the others. "Yes Lehree we will have
justice... for us all." I replied.
********* Arteesia *********
Damn why couldn't that fool mate of mine get himself killed on his
"vacation" like a descent fellow. Now I'll have to off the bastard somehow
soon after he returns. I've been lucky he's been more interested with his
training than trying to breed me again. Not that he'd be successful any way
since I had myself rendered virtually sterile. It was hard enough to off
that one brat I did spawn. Damn him that he took my queens medallion away.
I had rather liked that particular adornment as it showed all whom and what
I was. The fucking brat, if I had the chance to kill him again over taking
that medallion, I'd do it with great relish. Oh how I remember those stupid
trusting eyes staring at me in disbelieve when I S Q U E E Z E D his little
throat shut. "Mother how could you?" the pathetic brat seemed to cry. I
nearly laughed at his feeble attempts to free himself as I strangled the
life out of him. Took him long enough to die though, the retch. I was
afraid someone would catch me in the process else I'd not really cared HOW
long the little parasite took to die. I HATED THAT.... THAT... T - H - I -
N - G. But I L O V E D the memory of killing it though. Another thing was
bothering me a little right now. I wondered why Cumba has such a sparkle
about him when he had informed me that Vegeta would return today AND that
he had brought me a "special" surprise. Usually the idiot would have had a
pained look on his face, he never approved of me being his queen. Well too
bad for him, but I'd be sure to relieve him of his misery once Vegeta was
dead. I'd send him, his mate, and all his brats along with his cherished
cousin my so called mate straight to hell. Then I'd been the Queen of all
Saiyajins and rule as a monarch should, with an steel fist, ruthless, and
make them do MY bidding. Mmmmm the very thought of my goal finally realized
sent shivers a kin to a lovely rapture all over me. Ahhhh it will be soooo
much delight to have power over an ENTIRE planet. Who knows maybe if Lord
Freeza would fancy a she-Saiyajin as a mate perhaps I could be Queen of the
universe as well. Yessss that would be fine, but all in good time. First
things first... greet my mate, get him settled, kill him, take over. This
will be a fine time for me indeed. At last I will get everything I deserve,
and it will be ALL my OWN doing.
***** minutes before landing *****
********* Haakon *********
Mamma was helping me get dressed in clothes Papa said a Prince should wear.
Frigga was already dressed and with Freya and Raditz right now. I looked at
the under armour she was about to put on me. It was the same colour blue I
liked so much. I even got my own armour to wear over it with Papa's royal
symbol on it. He also had Mamma put on me the medallion she found with me
when I came to her. He said it would scare that woman that tried to kill me
and make her fear me. Good! cause I don't like her AT ALL. I had bad dreams
sometimes about fighting a monster I couldn't beat. I had that one a lot
again after Daddy died. I didn't have it anymore though since Papa came. I
looked at one of the moons of my new home as we passed it. I saw my new
world a while ago already. It sorta looked like someone hit it really hard,
bruised it, and made it bleed. Papa said that it wouldn't be that way
always. He told me that he and my cousin Cumba were working on a way to
make the sky almost as blue as Earth's only a little darker since our
planet was further from the sun than Earth was. Papa said our planet was a
lot colder than where I lived but that we would be fine. I hoped Mamma
would be okay, she liked it when it was warm. I wanted her to feel as good
as she could cause she was going to have a baby from Papa. Freya told me
it's easier to have a baby when you feel good than when you don't. Papa was
a little worried that Mamma had got a baby before we got home, cause he
told me Saiyajin women should not to go into space when they were going to
have a baby. But Mamma was a dragon...not a Saiyajin so I knew she'd be
okay. Mamma told me that all men worry about their mates when she's gonna
have a baby, specially if they love them a lot; and I KNEW Papa loved my
Mamma A LOT. The ship shook a little bit. Mamma looked around the room a
little. "Whoa, feels like were entering the atmosphere now." Mamma said. I
could tell she was a little scared. I was more excited than scared. But I
still wasn't looking forward to seeing that mean woman again. I looked up
at her when as she stood and tried to smile at her. She then smiled the
smile that made every thing okay, it made me smile even more. "Are you
ready my son?" she asked me softly while holding out her hand for me to
take. "I'm ready Mamma." I told her and took her hand.
********* Reginleif *********
I tried to keep myself occupied with dressing Haakon so that I could ignore
my stomach was which was in knots, not because of the baby I was carrying
now to be sure. It was the great apprehension that had a hold of me now. I
really had not wanted to be a queen and yet now through virtue of Vegeta I
was. Soon I would be presented to his people and I wondered how they would
receive me as I was not Saiyajin. If I had the crew to go by I would not be
as nervous, since they were all in favour of me. I was also nervous about
the confrontation we would have almost immediately after we landed. I would
at last see the face of the woman who tried to kill my Haakon. I was torn
between fury and fear, I felt like ripping her to shreds for what she did
to him. Yet I knew I was not strong as a Saiyajin and could not fight as
well, but I was faster due to turning into a dragon so that was in my
favour. But now with the baby on the way neither I nor Vegeta wanted me to
even risk a possible confrontation. He assured me that the treacherous
woman would be dealt with. I finished dressing him by placing the golden
medallion I had found in his hand. Vegeta had informed me that it was
actually to be my medallion as it was the traditional queen's medallion.
But in this case when she would see her former son wearing the
incriminating medallion he had taken in his fight to survive her attempt
she would truly feel fear. I am not normally a vengeful person, except
where children were concerned. Since I survived my own childhood hell I was
more than sympathetic to the crimes done against other children. I truly
hoped they planed to tie that female by her four limbs and tail in spread
eagle fashion over a ant hill, skin her alive, pour salt on the raw wounds
than pour honey over the salt and allow the ants to slowly devour her. THAT
would be close to the vicious, callous pain she and other's like her
they've done to innocent children. I nearly jumped looking around the room
as the ship shook like a plane going through turbulence. "Whoa, feels like
were entering the atmosphere now." I stated nervously. I got to my feet
giving Haakon a quick once over and saw him smile hesitantly at me. I knew
he was nervous about what was soon to happen. I smiled at him reassuringly
that all would be well, his smile grew larger and confident. And I knew all
would be well, I could feel it in my heart.
"Are you ready my son?" I asked him softly while holding out my hand for
him to take. I was not sure he would take my hand since her was learning
very quick how Saiyajins were SUPPOSE to act." I'm ready Mamma." He told me
as he took my hand. Some how I had the feeling that he was taking my hand
more for my peace of mind, and I appreciated it. The door of the room
opened as Vegeta came sweeping in. His mask of sternness melted into one of
open warmth as he set eyes on us. "Good you are both ready." He said
smiling approvingly. I stopped myself from bowing only barely, he
absolutely HATED it when I would bow to him, just like Haakon HATED it.
Ofcourse for Haakon I was only pulling his chain, but Vegeta I still felt
compelled to bow when I saw him. He raised an accusing eyebrow at me as he
caught the beginning motion. ^Will you ever stop trying to bow in my
presence Reginleif?^ I frowned apologetically ^I am afraid it will be a
while yet my gentle King.^ I replied. With a single stride he stood before
me lowering his proud face down to mine. He smiled a warm loving smile I
knew few if any ever saw. It was open and caused his pure black eyes to
sparkle with brightness. ^I shall be ever patent for that day my beloved
Queen/mate.^ He sent tenderly. I blushed at him feeling a little shy. He
brushed my cheek gently with his as he straightened back to his full
majestic height. It was sort of a Saiyajin version of a kiss on the cheek.
The way he did it was just as stimulating had he actually kissed it. I had
taught him about kissing and he seemed to be catching on quick as he loved
to practice often. We all exited the room to the wide main hall where he
led us to where the main exit was at. I glanced up at him noting his stern
face was back in place. I knew it was the face all but those close to him
knew. A stern, cold, fierce, calculating, mighty King of Saiyajins.
Incapable of any feelings save hate, power, and rage. But I knew better;
though he was indeed fierce, ruthless, calculating, and mighty. He WAS
capable of showing more emotions than others thought, even in ways that
humans falter at. A Saiyajins heart is warm and willing to feel entirely.
With the reckless abandon of an animal who cares little for "human"
inhibitions. But they were extremely careful of whom they chose to 'see'
that part of them for it was to be vulnerable, and ALL Saiyajins hated to
feel vunerable. Near the doorway I saw Frigga and Freya already there along
with the rest of the crew. They bowed in unison, covering their hearts with
their clenched fists as sign of fidelity to their King and Prince. (*sigh*
and I suppose to me too. :þ). "Open the door Kak it is time." The King
commanded.
********* King Vegeta *********
As the door opened to the castles docking bay I instructed my mate and son
to stand behind me for the time being while having my two adopted daughters
to position themselves behind them. The crew exited first to form the line
of honour guard on either side of the ramp. I could feel my little mates
nervousness and sent to her reassuringly. Near the bottom of the ramp stood
my cousin Lord Cumba. I could see the gleam in his eye as he was more than
ready for this to happen. About 15' or so behind him stood my one time mate
all dressed in one of her finest gowns. Only a few steps behind her were
the nobles of my court. As I descended the ramp I saw how her eyes shown
xactly how clueless she was for they held only contempt and smugness. She
soon would feel fear and her eyes would reflect terror. "Welcome home your
majesty." My cousin greeted with the formality the decorum dictated. ^My
heart is warmed at the safe return of you all cousin.^ He sent as he bowed.
"I thank you Lord Cumba." ^As is mine cousin.^ I sent to him. "Welcome home
my mate." greeted Arteesia with a forced bow. My eyes narrowed as she
straightened back up to look me brazenly in the eye. I allowed a smile to
cross my face. "Arteesia, I have a surprise for you." I said in slow
asure. "What kind of surprise my...king?" She asked speaking the last
with sarcasm. "I believe you know Price Vegeta?" I said as I stood aside to
reveal my son who stood before Reginleif protectively. Her eyes nearly
popped from their sockets as she saw the boy very much alive, well, and
wearing her medallion. "IM-IMPOSSIBLE!" "IT CANNOT BE!" She howled in
terror. "Ah but it is, the son you sot to rob me of still lives inspite of
your efforts to kill him. She was in such shock she did not notice the
entrance of 5 black cloaked figures. I smiled in victory, now I shall have
vengeance. "Lady Arteesia in the eyes of your peers I now pass sentence not
only for your transgressions of treason against the crown but the bodily
harm you have done to his highness my son." She shook her head in
disbelieve as my words sunk into her stunned mind. This surly was the LAST
thing she would have expected. "I here by sentence you to death.... by the
women of vengeance." Her eyes went wide in terror as I announced her fate.
It was well known that when it came to matters of great magnitude it was
women who were the most vicious in implementing punishment. Arteesia would
be long in dying, and I truly believed that the punishment fit the crime.
Before she could react further the five figures rushed up to her striping
her of all clothing and dignity dragging her off kicking and screaming to
where they would do their worst to her. I looked back to see my son smiling
smugly as his would-be killer was dragged to her fate. I nodded I had
expected such a reaction from him, he was a Saiyajin after all and she DID
deserve it. What I had not expected was the calm, impassive face my little
mate wore. I could feel through our bond that she was not distressed the
least about the soon to be late Arteesia's death. The other odd, vengeful,
images that involved an ant hill, salt, and honey came through her mind. I
smiled inwardly she acted more Saiyajin in many ways than she knew. I
dismissed the confused muttering mass of nobles with the promise of full
explanation that evening. I then looked to my cousin whom was smiling
unabashed as he approached. He stood a full 6 inches taller than I but his
demeanor was more open and approachable. Strange for a Saiyajin, though I
found it a trait that made him an effective right hand man. My father
thought him weak because of his open expression of his emotions. If only he
knew that his strange trait made him in many ways stronger than most
Saiyajin's that never showed a single emotion. "Cousin." he said with cheer
as he embraced me with the gladness he felt. I called my son and mate
forward along my step-daughters, introducing them each in turn ending with
my son. He greeted the two young ladies graciously causing them to smile
shyly. He then looked appraisingly at my new queen and smiled approvingly
as I knew he would. "You are very welcome here mate of my cousin." He
stated as bowed slightly to her. She blushed and scooted closer to my side.
He gave me a knowing look and smiled at her coy actions. He then crouched
down to my son's height and smiled a wistful smile. "You look the very
picture of your father when he was a brat young price." He said as he
reached out and ruffled my son's hair. Haakon gave him a surprised look at
the familiar way he treated him. With the spontaneity of a child his age he
reached up and hugged Cumba while my cousin held him close, grateful as I
that he COULD hold him. He stood up still holding the boy shifting him to a
sitting position on his arm. "Come my King and cousin a feast awaits
inside." He stated as he beckoned me to follow him. "Come all of you." He
said to the rest including the crew. My son smiled at the acceptance he was
receiving content to be carried by his cousin who conveyed him inside.
********* Reginleif *********
I watched with no emotion as the bitch was dragged off by the five women of
vengeance. I hoped she'd suffer for all the torment she caused. A few
moments later I heard Vegeta addressing most of the assembled Saiyajins
that I figured were nobles. They left all muttering among themselves
leaving only our little group and Lord Cumba. He stepped forward and
embraced Vegeta in a manner a father would a son. It surprised me that Lord
Cumba was actually taller than his cousin. But somehow he did not seem as
intimidating as most Saiyajins I had seen. I supposed that it was because
his face was not masked with a perpetual scowl. Which ever the case he
greeted my girls openly causing them to smile shyly. He then looked at me
as if taking all he could. He smiled with great warmth as he told me I was
very welcome here. I never expected such a warm greeting from someone I
hardly knew. I felt my cheeks grow warm as nestled closer to Vegeta. I then
watched as he greeted his younger cousin, my son. The look in his eyes
verified all I had seen in Vegeta's memory of his past. These two cousin's
shared a unique relationship that though only 5 years separated them, Cumba
was more father than cousin to my royal mate. I smiled as Haakon took to
him readily, happy he was getting to know the rest of his family. "Come my
King and cousin a feast awaits inside." He stated as he beckoned the king
to follow him. "Come all of you." He said to the rest of us including the
crew. I smiled openly as my son smiled sitting in his older cousin's arm
happy that things were truly going to be fine.
(A/N: Goodness this took me long enough to do. It wasn't a writers block or
anything, just taking care of sick little ones, make some goat sausage,
burger, and getting prepared for my herd to have some more kids. Oyie-vay I
have been busy up until just yesterday. Hope you liked the chapter. I
believe there is at least a couple of more chapters that I shall be adding
to this fic. I shall be posting them on the REVA fan fic site as well. It's a
bit of a different set up and I must thank Crazy Chi-Chi {thanks Cheech}
for directing me to that site. The address is www.revafiction.com http://www.revafiction.com. See ya all there till next chapter take care.)

long the little parasite took to die. I HATED THAT.... THAT... T - H - I -
N - G. But I L O V E D the memory of killing it though. Another thing was
bothering me a little right now. I wondered why Cumba has such a sparkle
about him when he had informed me that Vegeta would return today AND that
he had brought me a "special" surprise. Usually the idiot would have had a
pained look on his face, he never approved of me being his queen. Well too
bad for him, but I'd be sure to relieve him of his misery once Vegeta was
dead. I'd send him, his mate, and all his brats along with his cherished
cousin my so called mate straight to hell. Then I'd been the Queen of all
Saiyajins and rule as a monarch should, with an steel fist, ruthless, and
make them do MY bidding. Mmmmm the very thought of my goal finally realized
sent shivers a kin to a lovely rapture all over me. Ahhhh it will be soooo
much delight to have power over an ENTIRE planet. Who knows maybe if Lord
Freeza would fancy a she-Saiyajin as a mate perhaps I could be Queen of the
universe as well. Yessss that would be fine, but all in good time. First
things first... greet my mate, get him settled, kill him, take over. This
will be a fine time for me indeed. At last I will get everything I deserve,
and it will be ALL my OWN doing.

Mamma was helping me get dressed in clothes Papa said a Prince should wear.
Frigga was already dressed and with Freya and Raditz right now. I looked at
the under armour she was about to put on me. It was the same colour blue I
liked so much. I even got my own armour to wear over it with Papa's royal
symbol on it. He also had Mamma put on me the medallion she found with me
when I came to her. He said it would scare that woman that tried to kill me
and make her fear me. Good! cause I don't like her AT ALL. I had bad dreams
sometimes about fighting a monster I couldn't beat. I had that one a lot
again after Daddy died. I didn't have it anymore though since Papa came. I
looked at one of the moons of my new home as we passed it. I saw my new
world a while ago already. It sorta looked like someone hit it really hard,
bruised it, and made it bleed. Papa said that it wouldn't be that way
always. He told me that he and my cousin Cumba were working on a way to
make the sky almost as blue as Earth's only a little darker since our
planet was further from the sun than Earth was. Papa said our planet was a
lot colder than where I lived but that we would be fine. I hoped Mamma
would be okay, she liked it when it was warm. I wanted her to feel as good
as she could cause she was going to have a baby from Papa. Freya told me
it's easier to have a baby when you feel good than when you don't. Papa was
a little worried that Mamma had got a baby before we got home, cause he
told me Saiyajin women should not to go into space when they were going to
have a baby. But Mamma was a dragon...not a Saiyajin so I knew she'd be
okay. Mamma told me that all men worry about their mates when she's gonna
have a baby, specially if they love them a lot; and I KNEW Papa loved my
Mamma A LOT. The ship shook a little bit. Mamma looked around the room a
little. "Whoa, feels like were entering the atmosphere now." Mamma said. I
could tell she was a little scared. I was more excited than scared. But I
still wasn't looking forward to seeing that mean woman again. I looked up
at her when as she stood and tried to smile at her. She then smiled the
smile that made every thing okay, it made me smile even more. "Are you
ready my son?" she asked me softly while holding out her hand for me to
take. "I'm ready Mamma." I told her and took her hand.
********* Reginleif *********
I tried to keep myself occupied with dressing Haakon so that I could ignore
my stomach was which was in knots, not because of the baby I was carrying
now to be sure. It was the great apprehension that had a hold of me now. I
really had not wanted to be a queen and yet now through virtue of Vegeta I
was. Soon I would be presented to his people and I wondered how they would
receive me as I was not Saiyajin. If I had the crew to go by I would not be
as nervous, since they were all in favour of me. I was also nervous about
the confrontation we would have almost immediately after we landed. I would
at last see the face of the woman who tried to kill my Haakon. I was torn
between fury and fear, I felt like ripping her to shreds for what she did
to him. Yet I knew I was not strong as a Saiyajin and could not fight as
well, but I was faster due to turning into a dragon so that was in my
favour. But now with the baby on the way neither I nor Vegeta wanted me to
even risk a possible confrontation. He assured me that the treacherous
woman would be dealt with. I finished dressing him by placing the golden
medallion I had found in his hand. Vegeta had informed me that it was
actually to be my medallion as it was the traditional queen's medallion.
But in this case when she would see her former son wearing the
incriminating medallion he had taken in his fight to survive her attempt
she would truly feel fear. I am not normally a vengeful person, except
where children were concerned. Since I survived my own childhood hell I was
more than sympathetic to the crimes done against other children. I truly
hoped they planed to tie that female by her four limbs and tail in spread
eagle fashion over a ant hill, skin her alive, pour salt on the raw wounds
than pour honey over the salt and allow the ants to slowly devour her. THAT
would be close to the vicious, callous pain she and other's like her
they've done to innocent children. I nearly jumped looking around the room
as the ship shook like a plane going through turbulence. "Whoa, feels like
were entering the atmosphere now." I stated nervously. I got to my feet
giving Haakon a quick once over and saw him smile hesitantly at me. I knew
he was nervous about what was soon to happen. I smiled at him reassuringly
that all would be well, his smile grew larger and confident. And I knew all
would be well, I could feel it in my heart.
"Are you ready my son?" I asked him softly while holding out my hand for
him to take. I was not sure he would take my hand since her was learning
very quick how Saiyajins were SUPPOSE to act." I'm ready Mamma." He told me
as he took my hand. Some how I had the feeling that he was taking my hand
more for my peace of mind, and I appreciated it. The door of the room
opened as Vegeta came sweeping in. His mask of sternness melted into one of
open warmth as he set eyes on us. "Good you are both ready." He said
smiling approvingly. I stopped myself from bowing only barely, he
absolutely HATED it when I would bow to him, just like Haakon HATED it.
Ofcourse for Haakon I was only pulling his chain, but Vegeta I still felt
compelled to bow when I saw him. He raised an accusing eyebrow at me as he
caught the beginning motion. ^Will you ever stop trying to bow in my
presence Reginleif?^ I frowned apologetically ^I am afraid it will be a
while yet my gentle King.^ I replied. With a single stride he stood before
me lowering his proud face down to mine. He smiled a warm loving smile I
knew few if any ever saw. It was open and caused his pure black eyes to
sparkle with brightness. ^I shall be ever patent for that day my beloved
Queen/mate.^ He sent tenderly. I blushed at him feeling a little shy. He
brushed my cheek gently with his as he straightened back to his full
majestic height. It was sort of a Saiyajin version of a kiss on the cheek.
The way he did it was just as stimulating had he actually kissed it. I had
taught him about kissing and he seemed to be catching on quick as he loved
to practice often. We all exited the room to the wide main hall where he
led us to where the main exit was at. I glanced up at him noting his stern
face was back in place. I knew it was the face all but those close to him
knew. A stern, cold, fierce, calculating, mighty King of Saiyajins.
Incapable of any feelings save hate, power, and rage. But I knew better;
though he was indeed fierce, ruthless, calculating, and mighty. He WAS
capable of showing more emotions than others thought, even in ways that
humans falter at. A Saiyajins heart is warm and willing to feel entirely.
With the reckless abandon of an animal who cares little for "human"
inhibitions. But they were extremely careful of whom they chose to 'see'
that part of them for it was to be vulnerable, and ALL Saiyajins hated to
feel vunerable. Near the doorway I saw Frigga and Freya already there along
with the rest of the crew. They bowed in unison, covering their hearts with
their clenched fists as sign of fidelity to their King and Prince. (*sigh*
and I suppose to me too. :þ). "Open the door Kak it is time." The King
commanded.
********* King Vegeta *********
As the door opened to the castles docking bay I instructed my mate and son
to stand behind me for the time being while having my two adopted daughters
to position themselves behind them. The crew exited first to form the line
of honour guard on either side of the ramp. I could feel my little mates
nervousness and sent to her reassuringly. Near the bottom of the ramp stood
my cousin Lord Cumba. I could see the gleam in his eye as he was more than
ready for this to happen. About 15' or so behind him stood my one time mate
all dressed in one of her finest gowns. Only a few steps behind her were
the nobles of my court. As I descended the ramp I saw how her eyes shown
xactly how clueless she was for they held only contempt and smugness. She
soon would feel fear and her eyes would reflect terror. "Welcome home your
majesty." My cousin greeted with the formality the decorum dictated. ^My
heart is warmed at the safe return of you all cousin.^ He sent as he bowed.
"I thank you Lord Cumba." ^As is mine cousin.^ I sent to him. "Welcome home
my mate." greeted Arteesia with a forced bow. My eyes narrowed as she
straightened back up to look me brazenly in the eye. I allowed a smile to
cross my face. "Arteesia, I have a surprise for you." I said in slow
asure. "What kind of surprise my...king?" She asked speaking the last
with sarcasm. "I believe you know Price Vegeta?" I said as I stood aside to
reveal my son who stood before Reginleif protectively. Her eyes nearly
popped from their sockets as she saw the boy very much alive, well, and
wearing her medallion. "IM-IMPOSSIBLE!" "IT CANNOT BE!" She howled in
terror. "Ah but it is, the son you sot to rob me of still lives inspite of
your efforts to kill him. She was in such shock she did not notice the
entrance of 5 black cloaked figures. I smiled in victory, now I shall have
vengeance. "Lady Arteesia in the eyes of your peers I now pass sentence not
only for your transgressions of treason against the crown but the bodily
harm you have done to his highness my son." She shook her head in
disbelieve as my words sunk into her stunned mind. This surly was the LAST
thing she would have expected. "I here by sentence you to death.... by the
women of vengeance." Her eyes went wide in terror as I announced her fate.
It was well known that when it came to matters of great magnitude it was
women who were the most vicious in implementing punishment. Arteesia would
be long in dying, and I truly believed that the punishment fit the crime.
Before she could react further the five figures rushed up to her striping
her of all clothing and dignity dragging her off kicking and screaming to
where they would do their worst to her. I looked back to see my son smiling
smugly as his would-be killer was dragged to her fate. I nodded I had
expected such a reaction from him, he was a Saiyajin after all and she DID
deserve it. What I had not expected was the calm, impassive face my little
mate wore. I could feel through our bond that she was not distressed the
least about the soon to be late Arteesia's death. The other odd, vengeful,
images that involved an ant hill, salt, and honey came through her mind. I
smiled inwardly she acted more Saiyajin in many ways than she knew. I
dismissed the confused muttering mass of nobles with the promise of full
explanation that evening. I then looked to my cousin whom was smiling
unabashed as he approached. He stood a full 6 inches taller than I but his
demeanor was more open and approachable. Strange for a Saiyajin, though I
found it a trait that made him an effective right hand man. My father
thought him weak because of his open expression of his emotions. If only he
knew that his strange trait made him in many ways stronger than most
Saiyajin's that never showed a single emotion. "Cousin." he said with cheer
as he embraced me with the gladness he felt. I called my son and mate
forward along my step-daughters, introducing them each in turn ending with
my son. He greeted the two young ladies graciously causing them to smile
shyly. He then looked appraisingly at my new queen and smiled approvingly
as I knew he would. "You are very welcome here mate of my cousin." He
stated as bowed slightly to her. She blushed and scooted closer to my side.
He gave me a knowing look and smiled at her coy actions. He then crouched
down to my son's height and smiled a wistful smile. "You look the very
picture of your father when he was a brat young price." He said as he
reached out and ruffled my son's hair. Haakon gave him a surprised look at
the familiar way he treated him. With the spontaneity of a child his age he
reached up and hugged Cumba while my cousin held him close, grateful as I
that he COULD hold him. He stood up still holding the boy shifting him to a
sitting position on his arm. "Come my King and cousin a feast awaits
inside." He stated as he beckoned me to follow him. "Come all of you." He
said to the rest including the crew. My son smiled at the acceptance he was
receiving content to be carried by his cousin who conveyed him inside.
********* Reginleif *********
I watched with no emotion as the bitch was dragged off by the five women of
vengeance. I hoped she'd suffer for all the torment she caused. A few
moments later I heard Vegeta addressing most of the assembled Saiyajins
that I figured were nobles. They left all muttering among themselves
leaving only our little group and Lord Cumba. He stepped forward and
embraced Vegeta in a manner a father would a son. It surprised me that Lord
Cumba was actually taller than his cousin. But somehow he did not seem as
intimidating as most Saiyajins I had seen. I supposed that it was because
his face was not masked with a perpetual scowl. Which ever the case he
greeted my girls openly causing them to smile shyly. He then looked at me
as if taking all he could. He smiled with great warmth as he told me I was
very welcome here. I never expected such a warm greeting from someone I
hardly knew. I felt my cheeks grow warm as nestled closer to Vegeta. I then
watched as he greeted his younger cousin, my son. The look in his eyes
verified all I had seen in Vegeta's memory of his past. These two cousin's
shared a unique relationship that though only 5 years separated them, Cumba
was more father than cousin to my royal mate. I smiled as Haakon took to
him readily, happy he was getting to know the rest of his family. "Come my
King and cousin a feast awaits inside." He stated as he beckoned the king
to follow him. "Come all of you." He said to the rest of us including the
crew. I smiled openly as my son smiled sitting in his older cousin's arm
happy that things were truly going to be fine.
(A/N: Goodness this took me long enough to do. It wasn't a writers block or
anything, just taking care of sick little ones, make some goat sausage,
burger, and getting prepared for my herd to have some more kids. Oyie-vay I
have been busy up until just yesterday. Hope you liked the chapter. I
believe there is at least a couple of more chapters that I shall be adding
to this fic. I shall be posting them on the REVA fan fic site as well. It's a
bit of a different set up and I must thank Crazy Chi-Chi {thanks Cheech}
for directing me to that site. The address is www.revafiction.com http://www.revafiction.com. See ya all there till next chapter take care.)
