THE PRINCESS KNIGHT (GRAYLU)

Chapter Six: The Knight's House

I arrived at the Knight's house about two hours later than expected. I took so many wrong turns that I didn't even recognize most of the paths. Good thing I found the red mark on this tree in Green Lake Forest. If I didn't then I think I'd be dead or lost for good because if I kept going the way I was going then I would have ran into bandits.

Anyway, the Knights at the Knight House were so excited to see me. When they did most of them gave me a bear hug. Which I almost died from. But there was this one knight that wouldn't even look at me. And if I said anything he would just scowl and walk away. I don't understand what his deal was. But the Knights allowed me to stay for the night. They also needed help with the transportation of the letters. That's why Sir Natsu hasn't heard anything from them the past week. They're having trouble sending the letters to my kingdom's meeting room.

They showed me my room after I finished repairing their letter system. They said they greatly appreciated it. But it was no big deal. I was just doing what I was sent here to do. Which was to investigate and fix any problems.

My room was very plain. It was actually quite nice. The walls were stone. And the floors were wooden with a blue rug. But the bed was pretty big. I really enjoyed something as that.

I pulled out my carry bag and unzipped it and grabbed a empty sheet of paper and ink feather.

I was planning to write back to Levy for awhile now. Even if I wasn't allowed to.

To: Levy
From : Lucy Heartfilia

Levy,

How are you truthfully? I can't help but think that you were lying to me in the last letter I read. That bandit killed your mother and you felt okay? My Dad is dying and I feel like my whole world is falling apart. So how could you feel okay about your Mom leaving your family the way she did? That is one thing I don't understand about you. Saying she will always be in your heart is true. But you read the book about the Village outside of Fairytail didn't you? Levy Im no longer allowed to write to you. But I still want to. I hope that we could meet again in person someday. Take care my dear friend.

Once I finished writing the letter, I shoved it in my bag and zipped it up. Once I finished zipping it up I turned the side light off and went under my covers and tried to sleep. And finally I did.

I woke up the next morning to a blond guy who appeared to hate me. He was shaking me. I slowly got up and he tried to exit the room without another risk. So I took a risk.

"Why do you hate me?" I asked him.

"Your using my sister, Levy, to get what you want," he answered.

Wait a minute? Sister? He's her brother?? That's a shocker, but they do have the same blue hair.

"Use her?" I questioned.

He looked pissed at what I said. But the next thing he did was unexpected. He pointed his finger in my face and said these words.

"Yeah! Use her! You killed that bandit that killed my mother just so you could get a reward from her," he yelled in my face.

"The only award I got from her was her friendship! And even that I'm not allowed to have," I yelled in his face.

He looked taken back. But he was really starting to piss me off. Thanks to that bandit I took a life and I can never erase the blood off my hands. But the frightened look of her Dad scared me. But even now I can never take that sin off my hands.

"I thought you would expect something like money for what you did?" He questioned me.

"Sorry but no. I wouldn't make her give me something she doesn't have. Just her thank you and along with her letters are enough for me. But even those things aren't allowed," I answered as I shut the door in his face and ran to my horse.

"Your going already?" Tony the guard of the gate asked me.

"Yeah. I finished my task and the reason I came here for. Tell everyone I said goodbye," I told Tony.

"But-" I cut him off as I hit my horse and rode the rest of the way home.

Levy's brother really pissed me off.
