Love in War

Chapter 7

Natsu's POV:

I flew back to the dragon empire so fast because I was filled with joy all the time thinking to myself she likes I can't believe Lucy liked me. I landed on the doorstep of the palace before I knew it. the gates opened and I was greeted by the guards," your majesty." "your alive." they all looked so surprised.

"We must tell miss Wendy at once." one of the said as he ran into the courtyard. another one said," your parents have been so worried." as they pulled me inside and escorted me to the hospital wing of the palace.

By the time I got there the whole castle was shouting joyfully,"Our king is alive, he has come home."

I was put on one of the beds and forced to wait for my little sister Wendy who was the best nurse in the empire. she ran in unaware of her surroundings and tripped on a wire falling flat on her face. she looked up and said,"OUCH, Natsu the rumor is true you are alive." she got up and regained her stature.

For the best nurse in the empire Wendy is very small only 12 years old and not even 4'9 yet. her long blue hair pulled up into high pigtails that compliment her dark brown eyes perfectly. being the over protective big brother I am I'm always swear that boys fall for her easily and I don't like it.

She got up and dusted of her navy blue mini skirt before giving me a big hug. then she got up and started to scold me, "don't you ever do that again, we were all worried. where were you for all that time. we all thought you were dead. Gajeel told us you were stabbed by a human." when she finally finished she noticed the baby blue bandage wrapped around my stomach and neck and immediately started to unwrap it.

The wound was almost healed up completely so Wendy didn't have to use a lot of magic to heal it but they did leave scars. the one on my side in the shape of an X and the one on my neck covered nearly a whole side.

I got up put Wendy on my shoulders and walked in the direction of my parents room. when we entered my mother Grandina smacked me o. The face before giving me a large hug. her weight as well as Wendy on my shoulders nearly made us all tumble over. I knew perfectly well what the slap was for, her boney hands nearly cut my face. her faded pink hair tied tightly in a bun and her long red robe dragged on the ground when she walked. the only thing she said to me was," he is in there." and she pointed to the large doors on the other side of the bed. mom and dad never really got along so they had different rooms connected to each other.

I opened the doors and there my father lay drunken on the bed with a bottle of wine in his hand, Igneal wasn't a big drinker unless it was a very stressful time or he was worried so I expected him to be drunk. he is a good 7'3 and his long red ponytail was mess due to the fact he was dead drunk. small wrinkles lay around his onyx eyes and he was talking in gibberish. he looked up at me and said. "my boy ~hiccup~ your ok... good- good-good ~hiccup~ - good." He rolled over and I sat down next to him and pated his head. Wendy now pecked in to see if he was ok and he said," hey ~hiccup~ NatSu... when will I get some~hiccup~ grandkids."

He started to cough some fire and he took another sip of wine. all I could do is look at him weirdly and take the bottle away. mom stood in the door frame and said. "He was worried he would have to wait even longer for grandkids if you were dead." Dad look up and said," in retirement we get bored and need to spoil ~hiccup~ babies some times." and he put his head down and fell asleep.

" He's right Natsu," mom started to say, "your a king my boy, and a king can't go forever without a queen."

I can't believe what I'm hearing. they want me to get married.
