The Peasant Princess (Nalu)

Chapter 3- Life as a Lady

"It finally happened Lucy."

I held my hand to my mouth in disbelief I knew exactly what he was talking about and it felt great.

"You're laughing." Which is true their tomfoolery as friends and family was hilarious and everyone joined in laughing and giggling.

I have never been so happy in my entire life I was laughing so hard I was actually tearing up.

Natsu called a truce with Gray for now but he spent the rest of lunch sitting next to me we talked and laughed and laughed and talked all the while the others listened to our conversations.

When lunch finished I was disappointed to see the others go but Natsu took my hand as I stood and he lead me to the front gates of the palace where I stood next to Natsu as a large magic circle appeared in the sky and it turned into a large gold circle.

I stood at attention and a smile as horses came through the circle pulling a large carriage the carriage was larger then any I had ever seen the horses and it flew right through the front gate of the palace just as it was opening.

It flew gracefully around the courtyard fountain then stopped and hovered right in front of us then it ever so slightly and gently touched down to the ground.

The door flew open one right after the other people got out of the carriage each one dressed differently,

After 12 of the guardians got out the carriage a huge man stepped out with an insane mustache.

Natsu held down both of his hands and said "Celestial spirit king." Natsu stepped forward and took the big mans hands, "King Natsu a pleasure as always." "Thank you for coming today I know time moves differently in your world it must seem like yesterday the last time you were here."

"I don't mind in the mean time I hope Capricorn is doing well here." They both walked side by side inside the Palace as I followed behind silently and at a good distant.

"Capricorn is doing well he has taken over as the tutor of the Fairy Tail brides."

"Yes I heard I also have been hearing rumors about your bride Lisanna and that you took on another to ease, said rumors."

"Yes." Natsu stopped and turned my way then used his hand to point at me and called me over. I gently glided over as Natsu gently took my hand.

"Spirit King, this is Lady Lucy Heartfilia my new bride." The Spirit king took my right hand and tenderly kissed it.

"An honor Lady Lucy."

"The honor is all mine Your Grace I have heard of the stories and legends that have fallen from the Celestial Spirit world, but I must say the legends don't do your handsomeness justice." I said politely.

He smiled largely and chuckled. "My, my, my, what a pleasant girl your mother must be proud Lucy at your status as a palace bride to the King no less."

"Oh, you knew my mother Your Grace?"

"Yes she was a very talented mage I was saddened when I heard of her passing but upon her death bed she sent me these to keep safe until I found her daughter." He reached into his pocket as I felt the hot curiosity of my King from behind me stepping closer to see what he had.

The Spirit King brought out a brown pouch and handed it to me, as soon as the pouch was in my hands it glowed and its contents flew out of the pouch surrounding me as a magic circle danced around my feet and to my surprise there were 13 gold keys and 4 silver keys that were shining around my body that flew from the brown pouch.

"Lady Lucy Heartfilia these celestial keys belonged to your mother the famous Layla Heartfilia a powerful mage with the love of the angels that she shared with her spirits her love was known throughout the celestial world and now as her daughter her power, magic, and keys are past down to you. Do you accept the divine gift from you late mother?"
