Frieza x Reader Pt. 26 'High Functioning'

"C'mon, Algid." Kuriza stood with you, watching Algid standing up uneasily a few feet away.

"No!"

"You gotta walk. Mama can't carry you around forever."

"No."

"And papa can't either. C'mon, you want to play, don't you?"

"Mama."

"You can't only play with her." Kuriza turned aside and brought out one of Algid's favorite toys--a stuffed grey-and-green Arcosian toy. "Here. Walk and you can have Snowflake."

"O'ake!"

You smiled as you watched Algid make the cutest little frustrated face and get to his feet. One step.

"There you go..." you said.

Two more. Algid paused, letting his tail fall behind him--presumably to steady himself.

A few more steps and he'd reached Kuriza, who he glared at only briefly before grabbing Snowflake and sitting down to cuddle with it. "Mine!"

It had been four months and you'd only seen Frieza once in all that time. He said very little about it, but thankfully you were able to get word from Cooler's wife on the issue. He and Cooler were increasingly having to send their armies in together to handle one rebellion after another. Long-exiled Arcosians were teaming up with the more...vocal traditionalists, and of course there were political things to get through. You were sure you could do something to help, but for now it seemed as if Frieza and Cooler were handling it.

You'd been spending most of your free hours with the children. Algid had hit several milestones, and Kuriza had gotten through the alphabet and was now working on writing his name.

Other than that it had been tending to the duties that you'd been allowed to take on. Your suggestions had been followed, and after some initial resistance, the newer guards had been accepted. You'd "hired" a few ladies-in-waiting as well from the lowborn crowd--you were simply more comfortable that way. They had more interesting stories and things to talk about, and while they did gossip like the nobles did, they weren't quite as centered on rank and money.

Three friends...that you'd had to hire, but hey, you were helping each other out, right?

"He's incredibly attached to you, but that's to be expected," said (first LIW).

"Well, he is a baby." you said.

"He's a year old, right?" (second LIW) asked, "That's about the age they start preferring certain people over others. My younger brother got like that with me, problem was I had school, so he screamed bloody murder..."

"Right, right."

"Um...your...your majesty?"

It was another minion...sigh. And there it was, that title you were still getting used to.

"Yes?" you turned and felt another odd twinge as he bowed.

"The King has made a call, and is awaiting your response."

"Can I come too?" Kuriza asked.

"He says he will talk to both of you once he's done talking to your mother by herself. Boring grown up things."

"Well...okay," he replied.

"It's time for you two to have lunch anyway," you said to Kuriza picking both he and Algid up. Then you looked to the minion. "Go back and tell him I'll be in shortly, I've just got to set them up with something to eat."

It only took you a few minutes to get back to your room and get the two settled with the new nursemaid you'd appointed (as many times as that minion had been the cause of trouble, he was lucky you were still employing him. He was better off for it anyway), and soon enough you were sitting down in front of your computer to start the call.
