Like A Cinderella Story (GrayLu)

LACS 09

Lucy was humming while running down on the stairs, she's going to the garden where her mother is.

Just before she step out from the door and head towards the garden, she hides on the wall- took a peek and saw her beautiful mother.

Duchess Layla Heartfilia is indeed a beauty, when she was young- Dukes from other kingdom, earls, even the cousin of the King of magnolia wanted to take her hand.

But, only the stoned face (Sie: Lol. Peace) Duke Jude Heartfilia gotten her.

It was just, a great love story.

She was a pure and kind hearted person while Jude was a heartless Duke.

"Mother?" Lucy called with soft voice.

Layla, who gently look at her- shows her daughter a genuine and bright smile just like always.

"Yes my dear?" She motioned Lucy to come near to her.

"Is father coming home?" She asked as she kneeled on the grass and place her chin above her arms that now resting on Layla's lap.

Her mother, smiled at her question. "I don't know sweetie, but i thought you like it when your father is not here?" Layla teased her daughter causing Lucy to pout.

Its true, sometimes Lucy likes it when Jude is not around because he's busy with their business- he cant scold her for being not acting like a lady, but then- she's just a child who misses her father when it took him for a while to go home.

Layla giggles at her daughter's reaction, her little precious is such a cutie- she doesn't know what she would do if she doesn't have Lucy.

One of the reason why Layla rejected all of those gentlemen was because she can't carry a child inside her womb, thats what the doctor said.

Despite of that, Jude accepted her- even though Jude's needed a heir.

But, one miracle happen when Layla was praying to have a child- because of desperation, she and Jude went to an island called Tenrojima (Sie: is that even the right spelling?) believing that their prayers will be heard.

It was an island and the people near in that place believes that the fairies lives there.

Soon enough, after a year- they were blessed with a beautiful daughter just look a lot like Layla.

Layla was worried at first, she loves her daughter more than her life but she worries about Jude, he needed a heir.

But then, she was wrong- Jude accepted Lucy with open arms, he loved his little girl as much as he loves his wife.

"Don't pout, Lucy. He will go home soon, I know." Layla gently strokes Lucy's blonde hair. "He wont forget her daughter's birthday after all." She added making Lucy smiled widely.

"Unn!" Lucy nodded, believing her mother's words.

It was almost night, the Heartfilia Mansion was so quiet and Lucy can't help but wonder why.

Lily entered her room, on her hand is a beautiful simple pink dress.

Lucy might not like dresses that much but it doesn't mean she hates it.
