The Peasant Princess (Nalu)

Chapter 15- The King's Bride

After 2 days of staying in bed and letting the red glow dim it was sign that Lucy was now able to walk around now, and every night Natsu spent staying with her and cuddling her stomach.

On Saturday she got a special visit from Leo who spent 2 hours in her room talking with his Master while her maids waited outside.

I woke up on Sunday and it was my first day to walk around so Yukino and Flare immediately put me in a bath to wash me thoroughly but was careful around my stomach that now only had a dim pink glow.

After I was washed to perfection they walked me back to my room then dressed me in a yellow gown that complimented my hair really well, then they wrapped my hair up in a bun with a gold hairpin and delicate flower chains that hung behind my ear, golden tresses were curled gently and framed my face with my bangs.

Yukino brushed makeup on my face and shined my eyes with gold shadow and black liner then brushed a pink along my cheeks then pumped my lips with a kissable pink and shined it with a sparkly gloss.

I kept on the choker that Natsu gave me but was added with a long gold chain necklace that laid over my cleavage, I was a lovely Lady once again dealing with the pain of corsets and heels.

I was lead to Church and was sat in the congregation with the other Ladies everyone of them gave me a look of appreciation, the princes were sat in special chairs some with their wives next to them along the back wall on the balcony with Natsu sat in the middle of the in a big throne.

Natsu kept his eyes on me as I entered and I gave him a smile that held all of our secrets and when he returned the smile it made my heart flutter, I sat between Erza and Levy and we all talked about how Levy and I were feeling now that we were up and about.

Apparently Levy was having difficulty walking as the feeling in her legs wasn't all there just yet and I could faintly see a silver glow emanating from her but she said she was fine.

Church was spiritually pleasing and I even got a blessing from the Pope to bless me with a child, I was standing and talking with the Pastor when Natsu walked up to me.

"My Lady would you join me for Breakfast?" He said with his big grin and held out his arm for me.

"I would be honored, Your Majesty." I said smiling at him, I turned and lightly nodded my head to the Pastor before pushing my arm through Natsu's and he lead me out of Hall.

I sat in the large dining room with Natsu at my side when he wasn't fighting with Prince Gray, I chatted and laughed with the girls as we all shared bed stories but nothing too secretive as giving away bed secrets of the King would be treason so I only talked about how great I felt for my first time and how I felt now.

After breakfast Natsu escorted me to my first etiquette class and before he walked away he left a wanting kiss first on my hand, then my cheek and pressed his forehead against mine then smiled before he left the final kiss against my lips.

I had to wipe my lip color off of his lips before he walked away, during each etiquette class Levy and I sat out to make sure we didn't over exert ourselves after laying in a bed for a week.

During Lunch I sat in a private room with Natsu as we ate but we didn't sit at a table we sat on a couch as Natsu held me to his chest while he kept pressing his lips against mine and he could barely keep them away from me between eating finger sandwiches and drinking our tea.

I then spent the afternoon sitting behind Natsu in his office, each lady sat behind their Princes, and we each helped them when they needed us, such as a second opinion, filing, delivery to another Prince or to the King, or other things.
