Eden

Chapter 25

They followed the two guards in front of them and walked down the twist and turns of the castle. Lexa had no idea where she was in the castle or how she got to this hallway but she was now in a skinnier hallway and then they turned to these huge doors. The guards pulled the doors open and revealed a red room with paintings on the walls that had a golden frame. There was a long table in the middle with sixteen chairs around it. It was just as grand as the first room.

"Sit." The guard said, pulling out two chairs at the table. Lexa motioned for Clarke to sit first. They unlinked their arms and she sat. The guard pushed the chair in as Lexa went to sit and the guard did the same for her, pushing the chair in. The guards bowed and then left the room, closing the doors behind them.

She looked over at Clarke and she was zoned out looking at the paintings. She smiled. "You like them?" Lexa asked, nudging her a little.

"These are like copies of the real things." Clarke said, pointing at some of them. "These are beautiful."

"I don't know what any of these are." Lexa said. Clarke laughed softly. "They are beautiful though."

"Where do you think Raven and Octavia are?" Clarke asked as she admired the art. Lexa shrugged. "My guess is that they had sex, fell asleep and lost track of time so now they are running here."

"That sounds about right." Lexa said, laughing.

About ten minutes passed and they were sitting there. The door opened and Octavia and Raven walked in with four guards, two in the front, two in the back. They did the same thing as them, pulling the chair out, them sitting down and then the chair being pushed in.

"So, I already want to leave." Raven said, looking around. "It's too fancy, it makes me uncomfty." Lexa agreed. "This food better be good or I am gonna swim back."

Lexa was about to say something but the doors opened for the third time. The king walked in with a woman by his side, Jax was behind them. They were dressed like royalty, no suprise there. They sat down at the head of the table.

"Glad you finally made it." King Leon said. Raven looked like she wanted to make a comment but stopped herself. "This is my wife." He motioned to the woman. "Queen Crystal Bancroft."

"I'm Heda Lexa kom Trikru." Lexa said, introducing herself.

"Hedatu Clarke Griffin kom Trikru and Skaikru." Clarke said.

"She also goes by Wanheda." Raven added. Clarke kicked Raven under the table. "Ow, would you like me to say your full title?"

"Octavia Blake kom Trikru and Skaikru." Octavia said, interupting Raven and Clarke.

"Raven Reyes kom Skaikru. The best genius and dumbass alive." Raven said.

"Full title?" Jax asked.

"Oh, yes. Clarke has many nicknames." Raven said. "Hedatu Clarke Griffin kom Skaikru, the Great Wanheda, the bestfriend of Heda Alexandria Griffin kom Trikru and Skaikru of the Thirteen Clans." Raven winked at Clarke and Lexa for changing wife to bestfriend.

"The Great Wanheda?" Jax asked.

"That title has faded over time." Clarke said. "No one calls me that anymore, everyone calls me Hedatu."

The doors opened and women had a ton of food on big plates of food. The women were putting the food onto the table. She looked at some of the women and she spotted some of the women from the boat. She gave them a small nod when they looked at her.

Lexa turned to the Queen who was next to the King. The Queen was beautiful. She had light brown hair and light blue eyes, she had a perfect upturned nose with some freckles on it with full pink lips. She hasn't said a word since they walked in, not even to introduce herself. The Queen was looking down at the other end of the table, trying to avoid looking at people.
