Love in War

Chapter 28

Natsu's POV:

Tonight is the night of that party Luce invited me to. After I got dressed up in semi formal attire; in other words black dress pants, a white button up nice shirt, and a black blazer I ever down stairs where I saw Wendy dress up very nicely for the party. " are you all ready to go Natsu?" Wendy asks me. "As ready as I will every be," I reply to her as we walk out of the palace and fly to Lucy's castle.

It doesn't take long before we beat the castle and we walk the rest of the way, seeing lots of fancy carriages and people pass us as we walk through the gates, only to be greeted by a orange haired knight in golden armor asking for our invitations, he kissed Wendy on the hand and we were let in but even as we were a bit away from him I could hear he was hitting on some of the other female guest as they entered, I think to my self that he must be a huge pervert.

Wendy and I walk into the ball room, it was decorated beautifully with tables filled with snacks on each side of the room, the musicians tuned and prepared their Instruments, and people were talking in the middle of the dance floor. The party must not have started yet, I thought to my self. Soon the king who sat at the top of the large golden balcony got off of his throne to make an announcement and the whole room got silent.

" welcome my good friend and other nobility," the King Jude said as his voice echoed through the room," I gather you all here today to celebrate the engagement of my beautiful daughter Lucy Heartfillia."

As he said that my hear stopped, all I could do is look up at Lucy as she sat behind her father looking miserable as he continued to talk. " my daughter will be married to the bravest knight in my kingdom, the one who won a fight with the flame dragon Dragneel, King of our greatest enemy." The crowd of aristocracy clapped and cheered ask the tyrant above them continued to speak. " The knight stood up from his spot next to the king and looked over onto the sheeple, as Jude continue to talk." I am proud to say that Daniel will be your new king soon after the dragons surrender, so eat drink and be merry for a new age is upon us."

All the people in the room clapped besides me and Wendy and the music started, everyone cleared away from the middle of the dance floor and the knight who seemed to be pulling Lucy down the steps walked to the middle of the dance floor as he put a rose in his mouth and they began the first dance of the evening.

Anyone with eyes could see that the two dancing were not in sync with each other, Lucy refused to look Dan in the eyes while he was staring at other women in  gathered around the dance floor. More then once he stepped on her toes because he was distracted. As soon as the dance ended he spit the rise out of his mouth and went to give Lucy a kiss but she turned her head before their lips touched, and he ended up kissing her cheek. Seeing them so close to one another made me angry and I don't know why. When the first dance ended others flooded the dance floor and Lucy left Dan to flirt with other women while she tried to escape on to the Terrace, that is when I decided to go talk to the lovely blonde beauty.
