Her Iron Knight

Chapter 11

*Jose's POV*

I sat on my throne of frozen darkness. My plan was going to work, even if it means I have to destroy my greatest creation. While I was in my thoughts, I heard Metalicana fly in with Princess Levy and Juvia in his grasp. Both ladies were struggling, but it was pointless. "It's so nice to see you again, your majesty." I said to the princess.

She gave me an evil stare, but I only smirked evilly right back at her. "You are going to be an eye witness to seeing the greatest moment in this world. Afterwards, you will fulfill your role in this plan." I told her.

"I refuse to be part of anything you plan!" she proclaimed. "I demand you release me and Juvia! Then you can go rot inside a filthy coffin and throw into a lake of lava."

I only laughed evilly. "Metalicana. Hand me the princess." I said. Without hesitation, Princess Levy was placed gently in front of me. As she straightened out her nearly ruined gown, I grabbed her by her wrist and chained her to my shadowed throne. "You will stay here and get a perfect view of the the end of your insignificant, worthless rescuer.

Anger was present in her hazel eyes. "Shut up!" she shouted at me. "Gajeel is more than you think he is. He is stronger than you'll ever be! If anybody here is worthless, it's you!"

How dare she speak to me like that! She is a princess, yet she used language a royal should never use. I was about to hit her, but I needed her to be unharmed. "I would watch what you say your majesty. Unless you want to meet your fate early."

She glared at me with anger. "But since you are here, I will tell you your role in this. You will be my prize. After I have successfully taken over both your kingdom and the kingdom your sister's fiance is from, I will be unstoppable and I will need a queen to rule by my side, since I can't break off Princess Erza's engagement, you are next in line."

*Levy's POV*

I can't believe what I am hearing. I'm just a PRIZE?! This isn't right. My heart belongs to Gajeel. I'm sure of it. However, there is a catch. If I know my sister, she never holds big events, unless she and her sister's are there. Even when Wendy was sick during Erza's birthday, Erza put a hold on her birthday ball until Wendy felt better. Erza won't be getting married until I have returned home safely. I kept that to myself, because Jose wouldn't even believe that. After all, Erza always got what she wanted, whether it was strawberry cakes or going into town.

"I'm not a prize to be won!" I yelled. "Even if you decided to make me your queen, there is no doubt I would rather kill myself before marrying a creep like you!"

"I have no more time to listen to your objections to my plan." Jose told me, holding my chin with his cold hand. I pulled my head back, out of his touch and growled. This is the first time in my life that I wasn't acting like the princess I am. I was being myself and it felt...strange.

"Now, for the reason I wanted to Juvia to be here." Jose said.

"Don't you dare harm her!" I yelled.

Jose just turned to Juvia, who was still in Metalicana's grasp. "Juvia, my biggest mistake. I finally found a way to make you perfect. You will fulfill your destiny and purpose of why you were created."

Juvia then spoke out. "Juvia is already perfect the way she is. Juvia has learned that she is different, and this different is good. I'm not gonna change to be your puppet. I'm going to be my own person, whether you like it or not." My eyes widened and I'm sure Jose was as well. For the first time I have heard her speak in first person. She was truly opening her heart. She deserves to speak out her heart.

"In case you haven't figured it out Juvia, you are my creation. And my creation's always do what I say! You and that rebellious Gajeel made the biggest mistake of attempting to run away. I should've ended your existence back when you were brought back here." Jose said, having his hand surround themselves in darkness. No...he was going to hurt her. Maybe even kill her if he changes her.

Metalicana had put her down and pushed her down to the ground. She tried to get back up, but by the time she looked up, Jose held his hand out in front of her. The darkness shot it's way towards her. "JUVIA!" I screamed. Suddenly, there was a blast of darkness. I shielded my eyes and felt that power fill the entire room. When I thought it was safe, I opened my eyes and saw that Juvia had disappeared. "Good, now that she is gone, all we have to do is..."

"You know. You should treat a nice woman with more care." I heard a voice say. I turned my head and saw from the second floor none other than Gajeel. He finally came. I knew he would come save us. Not only him, but accompanied with him was Lieutenant Gray who was a knight for Jellal, and Private Natsu, who was a knight for my family. Gray was holding Juvia in his arms, and Juvia was unscathed from the blast. I was so grateful that she wasn't harmed. "Gajeel, so pleasant to see you again." Jose said. "And to make things better, you have grown stronger."

"Can it you wrinkly old prune!" Gajeel said, jumping down from the second floor, still facing Jose with hate in his beautiful, crimson, dragon eyes. "I thought I told you that this fight only deals with you and me. This doesn't include my friends, and that includes the princess. Release her now!"

"On the contrary, my dear boy, she is staying right where she is." Jose said. "My kingdom will need a queen to rule it with me."

"Is it just me or does that sound really disgusting?" I heard Natsu ask Gray.

"It sounds more like disturbing and disgusting." Gray replied. "I mean, Princess Levy is what? Seventeen? And that old man is like what in his sixties?"

"Yeah, why doesn't he just find a skeleton and marry that?" Natsu asked.

"Even a skeleton would reject him." Gray answered.

I couldn't help myself but giggle. Those two really knew how to make the most weirdest conversations.

"Jose, Princess Levy is too good for you." Gajeel said. "You would have to wait until Princess Erza is married first. Besides, I think her majesty would rather jump off a cliff. Well, he did match up to what I did say. Jumping off a cliff would give me a low chance of surviving. "Besides, if you want to get to her, you have to go through me, because there is no way I would let her marry a creep like you."

I smiled and blushed.

"Alright, but this fight will be cut short. I was going to save my energy for invading Magnolia, but I think I have some I could spare." Jose said, surrounding himself in shadows. Suddenly, he began to grow bigger and bigger. Everybody's eyes widened. When the shadows have finally taken its form, Jose had transformed into a dragon himself. But not just any dragon. It was the mythical dragon Acnologia.
