Tales of a Maid | NaLu✔️

Chapter 14

"Let's go in then." I smiled, knocking on the door to Luce's house, but then she walked straight past me and right in.
"DAD!" She cried, running up to him.
"LUCY!" He smiled.

Wait. I recognise that face.

It's HIM!

(Natsu's POV)

"L-Lucy..." The man that was Luce's fake father spoke. "Y-you brought the prince?"
"Yeah well, I'm kinda his maid now." She smiled. "It's not too bad, bu- HEY! Are you listening?"

This man kept staring at me in fear, and I stared back in anger. This was the man....

The man that took my Luce away.

"So," I began, trying desperately to contain my anger.. "This is your father Luce."
"Y-Yeah..." She said with a questioning voice. "You say that like he isn't."
"Well...." I began, but was rudely interrupted.

"Please, come in." Said the imposter. "It would be too rude to leave you standing."
"Oh yeah!" Luce smiled. "Come on in! I'm sorry if it's not what you're used to."

She's such a kind spirit. I don't get why he took her away.

I sat down on their mouldy couch, trying to avoid any strange stains.
"May I ask your name?" I asked.
"Ah yes, my name is Lucas." He smiled, but his eyes were filled with fright. He knew I'd not forgotten.

It was because of him that my mother considered me a disappointment. She died thinking I was worthless. Because I let Luce go, and it's all his fault.

"Natsu?" Luce said worriedly. "Are you okay?"
"No... I think I'm allergic to something in here." I lied. I didn't want to be here any longer. I need to leave.
"We better get going then." Luce sighed. "Goodbye dad."

I couldn't stand Luce calling such a foul man her father.

When we returned to the castle, I told Luce to clean my room while I sorted out some business.
"Gajeel!" I called, walking into the mess hall. He looked up and smirked.
"Well well, what's a mighty prince doing in the mess hall?" He teased.
"I found him." I said bluntly. His eyes widened.

"Yo Natsu!" Gray smiled, putting a hand on my shoulder. "What's up?"
"Dude..." Gajeel gawked. "He found him." Then Gray's eyes widened.
"No way! For real!?" He asked.
"I have. I know where he is right now." I clenched my fist in anger. "Gajeel, I need you and your army to arrest him and take him to the prisons immediately."

I told him where to go, and he swiftly stood up.
"Right away!" He stood up and called out to his men.
"We found Lucy Heartfilia's kidnapper!" He yelled. "Follow me!"

Now it's time for my payback.
