Love in War

Chapter 46

Lucy's POV:

I sat next to my father, my chain newly relocated to be hidden behind my small throne. A sword at my waist, which in hindsight was not a good idea for my father to give me a sword. He probably thinks I don't know who to use one, but he is sorely mistaken. After the king dragon leaves I will set my plan, to hold my king Jude hostage until he releases me, in motion.

I place my hand reassuringly on the hilt on my weapon when I hear the flapping of wings off into the distance. The flame King has arrived.

The large reptile landed in the middle of the throne room and let's out a mighty roar before he began to speak."I see you have done what I have asked and let your daughter bare witness to this negotiation," his voice sounds familiar but I could swear I have never heard a voice so deep and ruff before. It was almost as if the person who it belongs to had gargled lumps of charcoal and sulfur before coming. Still I could not put a name to the voice." I know with her present that we will both get a fair deal when the matter of ending this war is over."

The dragon looked me dead in the eye and I swear that those onyx eyes had the same kind look as Natsu's. Maybe this was his father. Could it be possible that Natsu is the prince of the dragons. He is certainly charming enough to be a prince.

Jude cleared his throat," yes in few time my fellow King but first why don't you get more comfortable, I hear rumors that dragons can shrink down to a human form. I'm sure I speak for everyone else here that we would all feel better if you do." He got up and gestured to all of the Knights and servants pressed up against the walls to make room for the mighty beast.

The flame King looked around at their frightened faces," well where are my manners," in an instance he caught fire and began to shrink until he was man sized." Is this better King Jude?" The dragon man asked as if he was showing off  for a party.

I couldn't believe my eyes, the King of the dragons was Natsu.
