Jellal's POV

"I've brought news from the vampire world." A man named Mest said as he took off his cloak revealing his face. I furrowed my eyebrows, "Vampire world?" He nodded, "Yes and I've been given orders to bring you back to the vampire world."

"What for?" I asked. He looked down, "It's about time you should take your place as ruler." My eyes widened feeling shocked by his words. I looked at him, "I'm sorry but I'm not that kind of person you want me as ruler. You should find someone else." I turned around as I walked away. "Please! You have to!" I stopped. "I have been travelling everywhere looking for you. If you don't take your place on throne, things would go hasty in the vampire world."

"Care to explain more Mest." I looked up seeing gramps standing in front of me. "Sir Makarov."

"Gramps..."

"I was wondering where you have been to Jellal, and looks like I found you here with Mest.

"I could explain Sir but this is serious. Vampires are out of their control and they are feeling restless all the time. If there is no ruler to control them you know what happens in this world. Your human world would be affected too. Jellal needs to return at once to the vampire world and take over his father's place." He said in a serious tone. Gramps sighed heavily, "What do you think Jellal?" What do I think? I can't help the feeling of leaving Magnolia so soon. The thing is I'm not even ready to be a King over the vampire world. It just doesn't seem right. "I understand your feelings Jellal, but you're the only heir that is left for the Fernandes family." He said as he held out his hand. "I was one of the survivors when your parents being killed." I was blown by the words he said. "Survivor? You mean you know my parents?" He nodded his head, "You can say that. I was the captain of the army back when your parents were still alive. Everyone was so happy, living in peace till war broke out when Hades came over destroying everyone in the castle out of revenge and hatred. I felt guilty for not being able to save your father. I was given orders to secure your mother's safety and there was you and your sister. I hid them in the wardrobe and headed back, however, your father was in a death state...."

FLASHBACK

Mest's POV

"Sire! Are you alright?" I held the King's hand tightly. "You look badly hurt, you need help." The King stopped me. "No I'm already torn and battered to shreds...I can't be saved anymore." He said as his panting increased. Tears were forming in my eyes, "Don't you dare say that. You have a family waiting for you." The King coughed out blood as I placed his head gently on my lap, "Stay with me Sire." His breathing started slowing down as he grabbed hold of my hand, "There's something I need to ask of you as this will be your final order from me."

"What is it Sire?" I asked between my tears.

"Take care of my wife, my children and bring them out safely from the castle. There's one more thing, when Jellal is fully grown up, give this sword to him. It was passed down through generations. I want him to keep it and be a better King than I did. It's been a great pleasure having you as my personal friend and captain Mest." The king said those last words as he closed his eyes forever. I hugged him burying my face at his neck crying, "It's been my honour serving you Sire."

FLASHBACK ENDED

Jellal's POV

"When I got back to the place where I kept you, your sister and your mom safe, you were all gone. I started looking everywhere till I found your mother was carrying the both of you to the human world. I followed behind to make sure everything was safe. I was glad that you two were safe and sound and found a better place to live. And so, I've decided to wait for the right time and here I am waiting to bring you back to the vampire world. Please come back Jellal, me and the rest survivors would be glad of your return." He bowed his lead low after he explained everything. I bend down to his level, "You don't have to bow down to me, Mest."

He gasped, "But..." I put my fingers at his lips, "No buts..." I smiled as he quickly stood up feeling embarrassed. I put my hands on his shoulders, "I understand you are being faithful and obeying the orders that my father gave but this is something new for me and I might need to reconsider this for the time being if you don't mind."

"Very well. I'll be waiting for your answer. I'll see you soon Jellal." He smiled as he left the academy leaving me with gramps. "Are you alright my boy?" I turned at gramps who was looking at me with a concern look. "I'm fine."

"Let's head back and enjoy the rest of the event. Others might be waiting for us."
