Frieza x Reader Pt. 24 'Revolution'

You barely remembered a thing when you woke up in the infirmary, and the doctors could tell you very little except for what you already knew--the fact that you'd killed the Queen in a blind rage over her threatening Algid.

And the King's elite mistresses, too...killing them, though, you hadn't remembered.

Recovery was pretty quick, and Kuriza and Algid were brought in to you when you asked for them, but Frieza...

After that, you didn't see him until the day of the wedding itself, and it felt like forever.

The day was tedious. Almost from the time you woke up you had various attendants pushing makeup and layers of under-clothing (and then the dress) on you, and then it was being hustled off to the ice chapel--while shaking like a leaf. It kept to its name and the area had your skin feeling like icicles were forming, and even though the dress (and some powering up) helped, you were left with a continuous feeling of a sheet of ice over your arms, face, and neck.

And then there Frieza was, in that new armor of his.

As you turned to go down the aisle with him, you noticed that a great many of the seats were, well...empty. A core group sat in the front four rows, but they seemed to be divided into small groups of families, and in the front row you could see Cooler sitting with his wife.

In one voice, those seated spoke a line in the Arcosian tongue, which you had been told translated to, "Two alone, one together."

You took a deep breath.

"Together in this life..." As this was spoken, those on the aisle seats seemed to toss petals into it--blue ones, you saw, and then guessed to be from the same kind of flower.

You were scolding yourself inwardly for it, but still...you felt nervousness creeping up on you.

"...and the next." The (priest, you assumed) spoke the final line on his own when the two of you reached the end of the aisle, while the guests sat silent.

What were you thinking? How could things have possibly gotten this far? This was utterly insane!

...but...

It wasn't as if you didn't want this...

You were just the tiniest bit still afraid of him, but you had the idea that he would prefer it that way. As the priest went on, you shut your eyes to try and calm yourself. To think that a girl would rise this far...and mostly through sheer dumb luck. No...no, not just dumb luck. You knew when to hold your tongue. You knew how to behave in public. You knew how to defend yourself, and not be a helpless waif. You just...you just knew him. And whatever resulted from all of this, he'd find you ready for it. You'd keep that little promise you made to him, to be as close to his equal as you could strength-wise. Cold and Yuki were dead, but...you were sure there would be more. And in any case, he was the King, and you would be all you had to be when you took that place beside him.

A good warrior, a good mother, a good Queen.

You heard Frieza's voice saying, "I will." It wakened you from your reverie. You realized that it was almost your turn to speak.

The priest went on in Arcosian, "...and in the ice we find peace, as we do in love." And then, struggling a bit (he seemed either unaccustomed to or uncomfortable with speaking in a non-Arcosian language), he turned to you.

Okay, you thought. Okay. You can do this.

"(Y/n)," he said, "By wedding His Highness the King, you are a sharer in not just joy, but sorrow. Will you stay with him through them both?"
