Frieza x Reader Pt. 13 'Doe'

As tense as things had been before...they eased up quite a bit after Algid was born. For you, anyway. Frieza seemed to visit a little more frequently, and each time seemed to look progressively more irritated and exhausted.

But he would never say why.

In his last visit, he'd barely spoken to you at all, and hadn't even spent any time alone with you. In a way, you felt responsible. This probably, you guessed, had a lot to do with his plan to work with Cooler and usurp his father's throne. And that...you were pretty sure that whole fiasco was entirely your fault.

But it wasn't like you'd asked for it. You hadn't asked for him to keep seeing you, to give you a child, to be brought here, to live better than you had before. You hadn't asked for the family that he'd given you.

The fact remained, though, that it had all happened, despite your intentions.

So you did the only thing you could. You acted as Kuriza's mother and tried to make his visits as pleasant as possible.

"There we go..."

"Wow, he eats a long time," Kuriza said as you were burping Algid, "Why?"

"He's a baby. Babies are growing all the time so they have to eat a lot."

"...oh. Okay."

"You haven't finished your food. You're growing, too, so you need to eat."

"I don't like it." he crossed his arms. "You can't make me."

"You want to be strong like your father, don't you?"

He grumbled and started nibbling at the remnants on his plate.

"Astonishing."

If the snobbish accent hadn't told you the identity of the voice, the huge shadow that loomed over you would have.

Why was he--? How could he--?

I'm so dead, you thought, turning around quickly.

"Y-your highness," you said, bowing quickly.

It didn't seem to faze King Cold, who was glancing over Kuriza. "Kuriza, you can finish that later. (Y/n) and I have some things to talk about."

"But..."

"C'mon, kid," the minion in the corner said, "Let's go."

"But--!"

"We'll be back in a few minutes," was the reply given before he lead Kuriza out of the room.

You were shaking, and held Algid closely as King Cold took a seat on the other end of the table.

"What do you want?" you asked.

"I think the better question is, what do you want?"

"Wh...what do you mean?"

"What are you after, exactly?"

"I'll...I'll tell you what I told your son. Nothing. I'm not after anything."

"Everyone wants something. Money...power..." He paused and smirked at you, "Freedom."

"I'm happy where I am. Why would you think I would...?"

"You're as much a prisoner as any soldier. You just..." he chuckled here, "...serve in a different way. You really don't realize the danger you're in, do you? I could get you out of it quite easily, you know."

<p>"Danger..from you. How stupid do you think I--"

"From him. I was merely trying to end your life quickly and painlessly."

"You aren't seriously going to claim you are trying to save me by killing me?"

"My dear, I would kill you quickly. My son...well, my son would do it slowly and painfully. Over a period of years. Can I be clearer? I'd prefer not to spill any blood."

"You already tried to."

"And that failed. I'm not quite so blind as my son. He's already on his way here...and if I tried to kill either of you...well, I prefer to remain alive. But if I can't appeal to your survival instinct, perhaps I can indulge your moral outrage."

"In what way?" you asked.

The smirk on his face deepened, and he snapped his fingers. One of the elites behind him brought forward a datapad and handed it to you, and just as you turned it on he got up to leave.

"I think you should know more about the master you've chosen to serve."

A video started playing on the datapad's screen, and with Algid in one arm, you watched in horror as you saw the destruction of your planet.

By Frieza's hand.

You'd told the minion to take Kuriza off for the rest of the day. That you'd gotten suddenly ill.

And truthfully, you had. Repeatedly.

In your head, all you could think was how stupid you'd been. How blind.

Frieza had completely fooled you, had first seduced and then trapped you. You'd never felt so enraged. You thought back to that period aboard his ship, when he'd gotten you pregnant. 'Don't leave my quarters,' he'd told you once. He must have done it then. It hadn't been to protect you, it had been to keep you blind.

And then...

You thought of the night he'd come back in and absolutely pounced on you. It had been...well, if you weren't so mad, you'd have blushed. He'd never before or since had quite the appetite he had that night. What had it been...three times? Four?

You clenched your fists, and then started slightly as Algid shifted.

Algid.

This poor, innocent little thing was just a tool, no doubt to keep you further tied to him. Just like his moving you to Arcosia. Just like getting you so attached to Kuriza. And then there was your weakening after giving birth.

You were a sitting duck without him, and he knew it.

And there was nothing you could do about it.
