Chapter 23

An Old Friend

"Let me introduce you, My Real Queen." Said Sirzechs and a figure came out of the Gremory Magic Circle beside Sirzechs.

Everyone expected it to be Grayfia, but the figure they saw surprised most of them.

Naruto sensed someone walking beside him. It is not Reni as he can sense her behind him, waiting for the person to come to his side as he is face to face with Sona.

"The Real Queen of my Peerage and my Wife, SARA GREMORY née NEBIROS." Said Sirzechs. The announcement hit all devils like a big bucket of holy water.

Naruto's eyes widened at this. He didn't expect Sirzechs to do something like this.

Everything froze as if they heard the world is going to end now. No moment can be seen from any of the guests except those who are in the know.

Suddenly there was a clapping sound and it was none other than Serafall, clapping excitedly and bouncing beside Jiraiya. Everyone followed suit and clapped loudly.

"Congratulations, Sirzechs-sama and welcome, Sara-sama," they shouted and clapped in appreciation, giving a warm welcome to the Real Queen. All of them forgetting the important fact that Grayfia is nowhere to be seen or anyone didn't remember her previous title as the 'Strongest Queen'.

Naruto finally saw the person who appeared beside him as he can remember her scent and distinct magic anywhere.

"I didn't expect him to do such a bold announcement, Grayfia," said Naruto as he moved away from Sona, to the side where Grayfia is standing. Not completely moving, but standing to the side.

"That's a surprise for me as well, Naruto-sama." Replied Grayfia, clapping louder than anyone as she got her freedom back and her best friend got her rightful place as her husband's Queen.

"Don't lie, Grayfia. We both know they are not going to do something this big without telling you," said Naruto, turning a bit towards her, seeing her appearance with his peripherals.

Her attire dramatically changed, her maid outfit discarded. She now wore an elegant looking dress while looking young from what he could remember from her maid outfit.

Her silver eyes filled with life, vibrating happily and she has a faded-pink scrunchy on her, as opposed to the blue maid outfit. She wore a black shirt with golden-caramel accents at the edges of the shirt and spread horizontally near the bottom, with two light golden trims going down the shirt; and the shirt splits slightly above her stomach, exposing her midriff.

Around her neck and shoulders is a long, cyan scarf made from light material that reaches her hips which made Naruto remember the scarf his mother made for him. Her blue jeans with a white outline at the top.

No one can compare her to the disciplinary maid she acts as and that's why it took Naruto a few seconds to remember her as he can't remember her from her appearance alone, he used his nose to remember the smell.
