Living a Double Life

C1: Dreams do come true

In the Kingdom of Celestial

Mother always told me that a day would come when id meet the Prince of my dreams well im 16- and a half and that day is closing near it is a custom in our kingdom when the Princess is 16 she must pick a suter and get to know them so once she turns 18 it will in fact be true love this ruling was actually decreed by her majesty herself my mother before she died and it also states that the picking of the sutee has to be anonymous therefore looks wont be the reason for being chosen only personality, even tho thats a good way to be and i agree with it, it also makes me abit nervous what if i get someone ugly or-or, "Hime your father requests and audience with you in the throne room" said my maid Virgo,"yes ill be right there thank you" i said as she bowed ive rarley ever talked to my father since mother died but i guess because its about time for me to be shipped off to another man that hes excited to get rid of me and personally....im ready to leave, as i approached the throne room i saw my father sitting all high and mighty in his chair which will soon become my future husband i think to myself as i try to suppress my evil smirk as he begins to speak bringing me back to reality," Luciul it is time for you to pick a neckless that will determine the fate of this country and your happiness" he said as i just turned my head my happiness heh yeah right like you even care about that but nows not the time to think about his opinion mom always said when picking a neckless always pick the one that was most appealing to you and gives you a certain spark as i think about this while looking at the necklaces i see one sparkeling more then the rest i am more drawn to it yhen the others its ruby red and gold choker that had roses all over it with a beautiful red dragon hanging from the center as i unknowingly pick it up examing it as my eyes sparkel and before i knew it ,"THE PRINCESS HAS CHOSEN HER NECKLACE PLEASE NOTIFY THE SENDER IMMINENTLY" yelled the king as i am brought back to reality ans look at him i just wanted to get a better look at it doesnt mean i chose it thinking this i glanced at the other ones and sighed on second thought i think i did make the right decision the other ones look rather dull i think as i hold my choker close to me.

Before i knew i it was in my chamber mesmerized by this fine peace of jewlery created by my future husband, i wounder what his name is -"Natsu" said a voice as i sit up startulled as i look at the door to see Virgo ,"what did you say" i glace at her as she slightly giggles,"Natsu thats his name the one your soon going to marry was that not what you were woundering Hime?" she said with a tilt of her head as i look back at the beautiful peace of jewelry in my hands she is correct that was infact what i was woundering ....Natsu what a beautiful name i wounder if he's as bright at sunny and warm as this beautiful peace of craftsmanship he sent me i thought caressing the choker.

16....the age that will determine my fate to whom i will marry my father has chosen to pick from the kingdom of Celestial therefore the Princess will be one of personality and wonr focus on my looks, not that im bad looking or anything just so both our appearances can remain a secret so that we can feel a certain connection i was asked to make a necklace for her as she has to choose which one she feels drawn to and that will decide for whom she is to marry but because no one has ever seen the Princess and have heard rumors of her beauty there are bound to be alot of suters awaiting her hand in marriage me on the other hand....i cant really say ive never met her not heard anything of her shes such a mystery...but i guess you can say im -"intregged are we Natsu" said a voice as i sat up and turned my attention towards the door, "brother?" i say as i stand ,"with the Princess you made a quiet unique peace of jewelry didn't you" he said as i just looked at him,"to say whether or not mine will be chosen is a chance slim to none" as my brother's face went sad abit he was about to speak as,"Zeref lets goo~ oh his Natsu did i interrupt something?" said ny brother Fiancè Mavis being as she is a free spirited person and lets all her thoughts flow out of her mouth most kingdoms would find that 'inappropriate' and 'unhonorable' but not my father in fact he found it very refreshing and eagerly encouraged her and my brother marriage which has yet to happen my brother agreeed to wait entil i met my fiancè which even im nervous to do,"hi Mavis no i was actually on my way to see father excuse me" i say walking out my chamber to the throne room as i soon reached it i saw my father sitting on his throne as i soon imagined Zeref at his place my head turned down as i walked in,"NATSU son good news" i sweatdrop at my fathers ill manner dispite him being the king has such a free spirit which is probably why Mavis and him get along so well " you summoned me Father" i say as he shook his head,"come on Natsu what did i tell you no need to be so strick when we're in the throne room" he said as i sweatdropped ,"yeah so continuing the reason i am here,"oh right The Princess of Celestial has choosen tour necklace" he said with a big goofy grin " yeah ok a- wait What!!" i shouted as he chuckled,"we arranged a meeting for both of you tomarrow pick out your best outfit that is all" he said waving his hand to signal me that im dismissed as i walked out i held my head down as i saw Zeref with Mavis clung to his arm ,"Congratulations" he spoke with a soft smile,"Im so happy for you Natsu-san" Mavis spoke with her typical shinning smile as i just walk past them with my hand gripping my chest and my head down as i walk into my chamber and close the door and drop to my knees as tears started to pour from my eyes she choose mine she....she....felt a connection with me...she saw something deep within me that only mother could i-i ,i look in the mirror to see my tears and a big goofy grin i love this girl already.

The next day had come sooner then i anticipated only to realize that today was the day i get to meet my suiter the one that created that beautiful peace of work excited i immediately got up and rushed to the shower and when i got out saw a beautiful pink dress layed out on my bed with white heels next to them and i then started getting dressed as i looked at myself in the mirror i blushed ,"i wounder what he'll think" said a voice as i turn my head,"is what you where thinking was it not Hime" said my maid once again reading my mind as i giggle ,"right again Virgo" i said spinning in my dress as i heard a horse out side as i pear out thr window to see two beautiful black horses pullings a gold, black and red carriage the same colors of the necklace i thought to myself as i hurried downstairs i soon see my father about to walk outside to greet our guests,"mind your manners and your facial expression Lucial" said the king as i hate it when he calls me that. We soon came to the door of the carriage as i was eger to meet the one to whom i am to marry as the butler then bows and takes the handle and twists it as i am litterally coming out of my shoes with egerness as the door then opened i see a husky man with long burgundy red hair and a watch in his hand coming out of the carriage he was quiet fit for his age which seemed to be to old for me mom was wrong personality is totally over rated i said to myself as i cried in my head as i looked at the man if this is the man i am to marry no matter my age im sure my father would allow it regardless giving up all hope i sigh and just suck it up and decide to accept my fate as the mans gaze reachs mine and i gulp in fear oh no what if hes imagining lewd things about me like how i look out of this dress or or as many things keep rumaging threw my mind i feel a slight shiver run down my spine as i then hear the butler speak,"May i present his Majesty King Igneel or Slayroy" he says as i blink 'his Majesty, King, Slayroy?!?!' so he isn't the one im going to be marrying what a relief wait a minute isn't Slayroy the name of the Kingdom Mother and Father were best friends with yeah?! It was wasn't it!! Why that sneaky old goat man this was all so he could bring there kingdoms closer thats why he didn't let me take my time in picking ughhh wait'll i ring his neck for this Ugh! This is all a shame! Theres no handsome prince with taste like this in jewelry i can't believe i fell for this well wait'll i tell him the wedding is- before i could continue my angry mental rampage i heard another foot step out of the carriage as i look to see a slim tall handsome man with pink hair and onyx pink eyes as he looked around and caught my gaze as i blush as he gives me a beautiful smile as he steps down and takes my hand and bows,"good evening Princess i am Prince Natsu Dragneel of Slayroy nice to make your acquaintance" he spoke as he gently kisses my hand, i stutter as i take my dress with my free hand and curtsy,"n-no the pleasure is all mine your highness it is an honor" i say blushing, wait'll i tell him.....

A few minutes earlier

We where on our way to the kingdom of Celestial i was nervous what if i ended up marrying a frog looking woman the rest of my life would be over but considering my father had been good friends with this people long before i was born i am to take his word for it. We soon arrived at the gate my father was ti leave the carriage first which was fine by me it gave me time to get all my nerves out as i tried to sneak a peek at my fiancè but the windows were to dark as i could only see some crusty old man in the way wait a minute what if this was all a trap what if im not marrying some beautiful selfless princess but instead this crusty old gezzer oh!?! No way nope not happening wait'll i tell this old man as i complained in my head i soon stepped out of the carriage and took a look around to soon see a beautiful blonde haired girl with chocolaty brown eyes as we looked at each other i couldn't help but girl her a big grin as i step down and take her hand into mine as i see her blush ans gives me an even bigger smile, " good evening Princess i am Prince Natsu Dragneel of Slayroy nice to make your acquaintance" i say as i gently kiss her hand as i feel her flintch abit as she slightly curtsy's and says ,"n-no the pleasure is all mine your highness it is an honor" she says as i smiled and stay wait'll i tell him...
