So Truth Fails
Lamb Without Blemish
"Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails, and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey."
(Isaiah 59:14-15)
Chapter Eight
Vegeta awoke to the sound of a metallic object clicking. Gratto was at his side, releasing the metal buckles from their job of restraining the Prince. "Did you sleep?" Gratto said after Vegeta sat up.
"Yes, thank you for allowing me to stay here." Vegeta rubbed his sore wrists and ankles.
"You know. If you mate this Saiyan, he will go into a powerful heat like what you are going through now."
"I know." Vegeta reluctantly admitted. "It is only natural. Once mated, one or both of the Saiyans go into a strong heat for procreation. That was the original purpose of mating. When the Saiyan race had a small population, people would mate for life. Mating only recently became a chosen course for Saiyans in love, and that is only for Saiyans who have the class to freely fall in love." Vegeta took a deep breath.
"When I fell in love with Kakarrot, my body mistook the heightened hormones for mating. I know from my visit with Kakarrot that his body has not reacted as strongly as mine has. Most likely, it is due to his age. Saiyans at my age are generally already mated."
Gratto smiled at his nephew. "Yes, Prince Vegeta. Most are mated by your age, but I am not, so I think I understand your feelings. My heats have gotten more torturous over the past five years or so." He laughed. "But, Prince Vegeta, may I give you something?"
"Yes, of course." Vegeta replied a bit surprised.
Gratto went over to a book case on the opposite side of the room. He returned with a small book. He held it out for Vegeta. Before Vegeta could ask, Gratto explained. "This journal belonged to Tokata. He kept it from the time just before he mated your father until the last time he came to visit me. I know he would want you to have it, especially now."
Vegeta gently grabbed the tattered book. "Thank you." He said.
"I have fixed breakfast. I know it won't compare to the things you get at the castle, but perhaps, you will humor your old uncle?" Gratto grinned.
After the meal ended and Vegeta and Gratto said their good-byes, Vegeta walked some distance in the forest beside Gratto's home by himself. He found a large tree. Resting his back against it, Vegeta flipped open the book to the first entry.

Tokata's Journal
Day One
Gratto and I just got back from the castle. It was amazing. We got to the castle, wearing the nice clothes that our father bought especially for this visit. The castle is so beautiful. The ornate fixtures and elaborate portraits are so amazing. I wonder what it would be like to live there. I can hardly imagine the servants and guards addressing me as 'Master' or 'Sir.' It sounds silly, even to me. Anyways, I got to meet the Prince tonight. He looked so nervous at first. It made me feel better to know that I wasn't the only one nervous. Gratto did his best to calm me down when we went to meet the Prince. Thankfully, the Prince was very nice. He smiled at me when I looked up at him. I have to admit that it made my heart flutter. I've never felt like this. I wouldn't say that I am in love with the Prince. I would just say that I look forward to our next meeting. Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that he invited me to return to the castle in a few days. I am anxious, but excited.
Day Five
I didn't write yesterday because I spent most of the day with the Prince. By the time I got home, Gratto and Dad berated me with questions. I can understand their interest. The castle and the ruling family are mesmerizing. The Prince took me on a tour of the castle yesterday. I got to see all the rooms except the bedroom chambers. Prince Vegeta told me that he isn't allowed to let anyone in there unless they work for the castle or are mated to the person that sleeps in that particular room. The Prince told me that his father's mate died many years ago, not long after he was born due to some illness. I feel sad for the Prince in that way. He doesn't know what it is like to have a relationship with his bearer. I wonder what his relationship with his mate will be like. I think it is too much to hope that the Prince to choose me. I am from a noble family, but my friends come primarily from the lower classes. Other noble class families don't seem to be in touch with the real world. I want to change things in this world. I don't really know how I can right now. I wonder when I will be able to see the Prince again.
Day Seven
I got a letter from the Prince today. One of his servants was sent to bring it to me. I had to run to the woods to read the letter. Dad and Gratto were so excited. Gratto even tried to grab it from me. When I was able to read, I was overjoyed by its contents. The Prince invited me to lunch in his garden in about a week. He said that he wished he could see me sooner, but he and the King were very busy with meetings. I am very excited. I don't want to tell my brother yet, but I think I love the Prince. He is so kind when we are alone together. I think he is uncomfortable being gentle, so he acts tough around his father and the servants. I hope he softens up when I see him again.
Day Fourteen
He held my hand today. After the Prince and I had lunch in his beautiful garden, he and I walked around the trees. As we continued around the grove, he reached out and grabbed my hand. He didn't look at me when he did it, but his hand was very warm. I must admit that I was very nervous while holding his hand. I could barely pay attention to all the marvelous scenery. I concede to my feelings and say that I am very much in love with him. I'm just so surprised at how quickly it all happened. I wonder how he feels. I hope he feels the same as I do.
Day Twenty
It is in our race's nature to mate quickly, but I did not expect this. The Prince asked me to be his mate. I mean, Vegeta. He told me that he didn't want me calling him Prince when we were alone. I have to be presented at mate ceremony. I am worried. I am not versed in delicate manners. After so many years of being surrounded by my third class friends, I don't really know what noble etiquette is. Vegeta told me not to exert myself. He told me that his father was a kind person. I suppose worrying will only excite my nerves further. I wonder if I could bring Gratto. I would love to have my brother with me when I am presented as the Prince's mate. Of course, I will be the bearer, but this does not bother me. Ruling members are never the bearer for obvious reasons. They would be too easily targeted for attacks on their visits to other countries. Plus, there is the issue of pride. Ruling families have someone else bear their children, instead of doing it themselves. I may look into the history of this custom when I have access to the royal library. It is strange to think that soon I will be living in the palace. That's right. I will be sleeping in the same bed with Vegeta. I've never even kissed a person before. What will I do when I have to mate with Vegeta? Oh, no. I'm making myself nervous again…

Vegeta closed the book. He wondered how such a promising relationship could have been turned astray by a fight at a speech. Deciding that he would continue this tale later, Vegeta took off into the sky. He should head home. Luckily for the Prince, King Vegeta had been away from the planet on a business trip this past week. If he had been in, he would have surely noticed his son was in heat. Vegeta made all the servants and guards swear their secrecy regarding his condition.
By now, the King was probably already home or soon to be there. Vegeta wanted to show his face early, so he would avoid any suspicion. He needed to uncover more about his bearer before revealing his plans to mate a third class. In spite of everything Vegeta had learned in the past twenty four hours, he was steadfastly determined to have Kakarrot for a mate. 'I have to find a way.' Vegeta thought the entire flight home, not aware of the storm that was brewing between him and his father.
