The Unbreakable Bond. (Edited Version.)

Day before the ritual.

It had been several days since the Prince and Kakarot had fought. The servants had cleaned up their debris and had them both in the healing tank for their minor injuries; the King didn't want them to be seen with markings showing they had both attacked one another, knowing rumours would disperse outside the palace.

Kakarot could leave the palace to visit his father on one condition that he had a guard to escort him as it was close to mating ritual, and the guards had duty to protect the Beta from anyone who may want to claim him as their own.

Vegeta waited for Kakarot to leave before he stormed into the throne room towards his father. His father groaned and nodded at the counselors hinting for them to depart allowing him to take care of personal family affairs.

"What is it this time?!" The King tapped his fingers on the arm of his throne, indicating he hadn't the patience to listen to his son's rants.

"I wish to do one of Frieza's missions!" Vegeta gave his dad a stern look before folding his arms.

"No, you have to stay here!"

"I don't think I do!" Vegeta glared.

"Have you forgotten the agreement?!" The King rose from his throne, giving his son the same glare.

"What, the agreement that was made without either myself or that low-class consent?! You want a strong breed of warriors, why don't you get Nappa to reproduce with him, he's strong enough" the Prince averted his glance from his father and looked over at Nappa who scratched his head and deterred his glance away from them.

"Oh it's not that simple, besides if any saiyan should have privilege to breed with a beta, it should be one with royal class!"

"Please, that low-class idiot is the one who'd have privilege sleeping with me!" Vegeta smirked.

"Tell you what, you mate with the Beta to help produce stronger saiyan cubs, you'll get to join the Freiza army. Once the beta struggles to carry more cubs, we will find a way to destroy him that won't affect you and allow you to find another mate of your choice!"

Vegeta raised his brow at his father before smiling.
"Finally, something we can both agree on."

The king nodded grinning back. He really didn't like the Beta especially since his power level was increasing, and he had no fear standing up for himself.

Kakarot ran up to his father giving him a hug, Bardock reluctantly gave him a hug back. They sat down at the dining room table, as the guards remained outside.

"Hello weakling!" Raditz was leaning against the doorway, Kakarot gave his brother a curt nod and a smile before turning his attention on their father.

"So, mating ritual tomorrow" Bardock grinned, folding his arms.

Kakarot gulped "Yeah, I'm not too sure what it is but I know it involves Vegeta and me ... doing stuff..." kakarot scratched back of his neck chuckling nervously.

Raditz burst out laughing at his brother's naivety "you may not be able to sit down afterwards little brother!"

Bardock shook his head at Raditz and grinned before looking at Kakarot. "Don't listen to him, he's an idiot. So, what you been up to?" Bardock leaned back in his chair with arms crossed behind his head.

"Nothing much really" he smiled a meager, he didn't want to tell his father he'd actually been sparring with Vegeta in secret, or that Vegeta had given him a kiss a couple of days ago. Of course, after that kiss, Vegeta had kept his distance which left Kakarot feeling confused.

"Hm...sounds...fun I guess" Bardock shrugged.

"I have a question..." kakarot looked over at his father, who was still leaving back on his chair.
