Becky's pov:
all of this needs to stop, this is all just bullshit.
this is just ridiculous and full of nonsense! my girlfriend is getting hurt because of this and the wanna be prince thinks he can take me and this..guy saint is just too much!
This. All. Needs. To. Stop.
i cant bear looking at my girlfriend dying and surviving the challenges, i have made my decision clear whether they like it or not i will stop all of this. this constitution is full of shit.
i went inside the queen's chambers and talked to her.
" your majesty, this needs to stop. i cant bear looking at freen getting wounded and dying and even though she is winning it is still unacceptable! she doesnt need to fight for my hand she is mine and i am hers!" i burst at the queen and the queen sighed sadly.
" i know my dear...but the constitut-"
" THE CONSTITUTION SUCKS!" i shouted and the queen was surprised.
" i'm sorry your majesty but this is just...preposterous! just because im the last heir and the crowned queen everyone has to fight for my hand when
i've already chosen who i want to be with!
and that will never change!
i hate seeing her getting hurt..that's why i will end all of this once and for all." i said seriously and the queen looked at me seriously.
"there is a way..but..you have to face the council my dear...and it is hard to make them agree with what you want..the last time that happened...it did not end well..remember freen's parents? they we're the last one who confronted the council about it and they failed..i dont want you to face the same fate..." the queen said, i clench my fist and looked at her.
"then i will be the first to make them agree. i cant just let them kill each other for me.
for this...constitutional shit! i've had enough. i will face the council and convince them as hard as i can. and if they won't then..so be it. i will do it in a very different way." i turned around and got ready for my journey to the council.
as i was packing i notice someone on my doorframe and it was freen leaning on it, " where are you going young lady?" she asked seriously and i sighed.
" i'm going to the council to stop this stupid nonsense." i zipped up my bag and was about to walk out the door when freen stopped me.
"and you think you're going there alone?" she looked at me seriously, "i'm not letting you go there alone, im coming with you. tee rak, you dont need to do this alone...you have me and whatever your decision is? i will be there to back you up." she smiled and i hugged her.
" i just..dont want you getting hurt anymore...it hurts seeing you like that...i love you and youre the only one i love.....that's why all this constitution thing is stupid..." she sighed and made me look at her and she smiled softly, " then we will go to the council and we'll give it our best shot to makes them say yes." i nodded and kissed her.
God i love her so much.
[ on the way to the council]
we are inside the car heading to the council when my curiosity got the best of me, " tee rak, i have a question." she looked at me.
"you do know this is what your parents did when they hated the constitution's rules right?.." i said nervously and she nodded smiling.
"yes my love, and i know it didnt go too well. me being a half-blood and all and im sure the council knows that i exist. that's why im a bit scared that....we will face the same fate as my parents did...and i dont want you to face that kind of life.." she held my hand tight looking at me fear was visible and i kiss the top of her hand and smiled.
"i'll make sure it wont. we will succeed, i know we will." i held her hand and squeezed it to reassure her that everything will be fine. i looked out the window thinking on what i would say upon the council. i'll makes sure that they will understand what i need to do and this constitution to end. once and for all.
[ the council's palace]
we got out of the car and opened our umbrellas and looked at the place, well more like a palace.
"this place is beautiful.." i said to no one in particular and freen was beside me and looked serious, " well. here it goes tee rak." she said getting nervous and i grabbed her hand and kissed her cheeks and she smiled and took a deep breath, "there goes nothing." she nodded and we went inside the palace and there was a woman standing infront of the desk, " hello and welcome the palace, how may i help you?" the kind woman smiled and i smiled back, "we're here to speak with the council upon some important agendas." she nodded and went in some entrance and we waited for a while for her to come out.
my nerves were killing me but freen was there to make sure im okay and i could do this.
the woman came out and smiled at us, " the council is ready to see you princess." she bowed and i nodded at her smiling and said thanks and we slowly went into the council's chambers and what we saw was amazing yet terrifying, i thought this was all a myth that my advisor told me but here i am, infront of the eight great ancient vampires.
we bowed down and stated our name, " greetings ancient ones, i am Princess Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, the soon to be queen and last heir to the armstrong throne. And this is my other half, Princess Freen Sarocha Chankimha, the last heir to the Chankimha throne."
we looked at them and this got their interest, " two women vampires inlove?" the other vampire said.
"a pure blood. and a half-blood. this must be a joke." the other vampire said, my blood boiled with what they said but freen calmed me down.
"forgive our words princess, i shall introduce ourselves. i am sekhmet the oldest vampire to exist, this is ambrosia, drusilia, lilith, darick,thana, athan, and cassius. "
i look at each one of them and smiled lightly. "it is a pleasure to meet the ancient ones."
"to what we owe this meeting princess?" sekhmet said and i took a deep breath.
"we are here infront of you to speak about this..constitution wherein a royal blood needs to fight for the hand of the princess." i said to them in all seriousness and this got cassius attention.
"ah....yes...this is to know how fit can the royal be to be the pair of the crowned queen, why is it that particular constitution you want to tackle about princess?" cassius leaned forward and i stepped forward.
" with all due respect ancient ones, that needs to stop." the council was silent so i urge to continue.
"this rule is just....completely wrong...one can't be force to be paired with someone they dont love....i know you're doing this for the greater good of our kind but...i have picked who i love and the one i chose is right beside me..and i'm here in behalf of other royal and non-royal vampires who are being force to abide this rule." i stood my ground and the council listened intently and they talked among themselves and freen held on my hand and i squeezed it still looking at the council.
the vampire named lilith spoke up, "very well. we will reconsider this, but as all of you know princess Freen is not a pure blood, she is a half-blood. how can you be so sure that this will not taint our kind?" lilith was the most reasonable among them and i was glad of it.
freen spoke up,
" forgive me ancient ones..but as a half-blood this is an advantage in our kind. being a half-blood gives us the advantage of being stronger, faster, smarter, and this doesnt change the fact that we still have immortality in our blood. in ancient times half-bloods may seem a curse or a bad omen, but this is the 21st century. this is the great improvement of our kind. and even if she was paired unto someone else, she is still my mate and that wont ever change.."
she stood strong and brave and the council looked at us both and athan spoke up.
"you remind us of two great rulers in our time..we were still very close-minded of the half-blood's existence but, as we observe the two of you.. you showed bravery,loyalty, kindess,respect, and a great possibility of being a great ruler." i smiled at their comment and freen looked at me and smiled.
"the council have spoken, we will erase this rule permanently, and may you and princess Freen live and rule in harmony." they all stood up and walk towards us.
"as the new generation rulers in our kind, we give you blessings." they each touched our hand and an ancient mark was appearing in our wrist, freen and me looked surprise and looked at them all.
"but..why us?..." freen spoke up and drusilia spoke up.
"we knew of the prophecy a long time ago. we were waiting for your arrival both. and we all know that you will lead our kind into greatness for all eternity." she smiled and all the council smiled at us.
"may the two of you live and prosper for all eternity." we bowed at them as our wrist glowed and we looked at each other as we left the palace.
"did we just?.." i said in disbelief and freen crying in happines, "yes we did...we're free...and other vampires will not go through this ruler ever again.." i hugged freen tight and she twirled me around, " stopppp! put me down!" i said giggling and she put me down and kissed me passionately, we stopped and took a breath and pressed our foreheads together, "let's break this news shall we?" she smiled and i nodded and we got in the car and drove back to the academy.
