I often think about how conversations and emotions went when Vegeta was given over to Freeza’s service. I imagine that the monarchy had to present it one way to little Vegeta himself and the planet at large while privately realizing what kind of monster Freeza was. Maybe they didn’t care so much about the planet conquering, but they wouldn't, deep down, want their son and heir to be enslaved and humiliated (and potentially experimented on or worse).
This is also an illustration for my most recent fic update. I did a sketch a couple years ago and completed it!
