The following morning, Natsu wakes up first to use the restroom. Still groggy from sleep, he pushes the covers off him and stagger over to relieve himself. When he returns a dark stain is the first thing to catch his eye, and a light metallic smell... Blood! Panic sets in as he practically jumps onto the bed. "Lucy wake up!" he pushes on her shoulders, "Lucy!"
Her lids half open, "What is it Natsu..."
"There's blood on the sheets! Did I hurt you, please God, don't tell me I hurt you last night..."
Lucy props herself up rubbing her eyes, "Natsu come here." She pats the bed beside her. When he sits down, she pushes him onto his back and snuggles to his side. "You didn't hurt me... that sometimes happens when girls have sex the first time."
"But it's..." he tries to sit up but she holds him down.
"There's..." she yawns "... this thing that's like a very, very thin skin inside that gets broken the first time..." she rubs his chest in an effort to calm him. "I'm fine baby, you didn't do anything to hurt me but maybe I should have warned you it could happen."
"Luce are you sure, I mean sure you're not in any pain?"
"None whatsoever Natsu..." she's drifting back to sleep, "I promise, I'd tell you if I was."
He exhales and turns to his side to hug her body to him. "I'd be so mad at myself if I ever hurt you..."
"That's good to know my love..." she mumbles into his chest, "now go back to sleep, I'll change the bedding when I get up."
But Natsu can't go back to sleep so easily. She's put his mind at ease about the blood but she's also given him a new reason to admire and justify his decision in choosing her. So calm and in control of him and the situation, she really has a sense of regality to her, more than most other nobles he's met, and definitely more than even he has and he was born a Prince. She looks so peaceful in her sleep; he brushes a few stray hairs away from her face, watches her chest rise and fall with each breath. Looking down adoringly at his future bride, Natsu is already making plans to spend the rest of his life keeping her happy....
A couple hours later, she stretches her arms with a big yawn but the bed is empty. "Natsu?"
"In here..." he calls from the bath.
Throwing off the covers she sits up and looks around her, there are brownish red stains on the sheets as well as dried blood on her thighs mixed with other evidence of their activities; 'no wonder he panicked,' she thinks to herself. She joins Natsu in the bath area, "Good morning Natsu," she kisses his cheek.
"Good morning Lucy..." he spies her legs and points a little worried, "Luce..."
"I told you, it's nothing to worry about, I'm gonna clean up okay?" His stomach starts to growl. She chuckles, "Then I'll get you something to eat."
He smiles, "Okay babe," he kisses her forehead. "I'll just be in the room." He grabs a towel and leaves her alone.
As she wipes away all traces of the night before, she realizes that it is a little tender in the area. 'I guess we were kinda rough for a first time...' But would she change a thing, no way; last night was magical to her. 'I can't believe he asked me to marry him.' She smiles dreamily at the glinting on her hand, admiring the ring for a moment before resuming her task.
Lucy strips the bedding and puts on a new set but she's still unsure what to do with it. If she takes it to the laundry they might question the stains, unless Kinana is working; she's the only one that Lucy thinks she can trust. She could possibly get away with throwing the sheets away... 'if she's not working I'll do that.' "Natsu, I'll be back, I'm gonna take care of this and get us lunch; and send out your letter."
He walks up and kisses her, "Don't be too long... I get lonely when you're not here."
She kisses him back, "I won't be."
When she walks into the laundry area, seeing just Kinana, Lucy breathes a sigh of relief. "Hi Kinana, I've got a load from Lisanna's suite."
"Hi Lucy," she takes the bedding out of Lucy's arms and piles them on the side.
"Um Kinana," Lucy pulls one of the sheets from the pile. "Could you do this one separately yourself?"
"Why?"
"It, has stains on it that I don't want anyone to see..."
"Lu, is there something you wanna tell me?" the girl smirks, "You've been spending a lot of time in there..."
"The queen asked me to check on him so, I've been keeping him company."
"Uh-huh." Kinana unfolds the fabric. Her eyes expand, "Lu, this is blood stains, has he hurt you?" her voice at a whisper.
"No, Natsu would never hurt anyone... it's from something else."
Kinana lifts the fabric to her nose and smells it. "Lucy!" she giggles, "You and him!"
Lucy's face turns bright red, "Shh, keep your voice down. But... yeah, and he proposed to me."
Her friend cocks her head, "Why would you want to be with a slave?" She herself is engaged to a soldier named Erik.
"Can you keep a secret?"
"You know I can."
Lucy shows her the ring. "That's!" Kinana clamps a hand over her mouth. Lowering her voice, "That's a royal seal! How'd he get that?"
"Lisanna had the Prince of Kelekona kidnapped. In a few days when Queen Mira returns she's going to find out and he'll have to be set free."
Excited for her friend, "And is he going to take you with him?!"
"Yeah," Lucy giggles. "Please Kinana, don't tell a soul about any of this."
"I promise."
Lucy hugs her friend, "Thank you Kinana. I've gotta get him lunch now. Talk later?"
"Most definitely! I want details next time!" Lucy turns to walk out. "Wait Lucy," Kinana walks up and whispers a few more things in her ear, "... it'll drive him wild." She winks before sashaying away from the shocked blonde.
After dinner, the couple relax against the bay window; Natsu has his back against one of the corner walls and Lucy is nestled between his legs leaning on him. She feels so safe in his strong arms... "Have you ever looked up at the stars Natsu?"
"Can't say that I really have."
"When I was little, I used to just stare at them for hours from my balcony wishing on every shooting star that I saw."
"And what'd you wish for?"
"What any little girl dreams of, my Prince charming to come and take me away to live happily ever after." He squeezes her waist, "Never thought it would actually come true though." She smiles up at him.
"I can imagine that my mom, if she were alive would love you Luce." He chuckles, "and I know my dad's gonna be thrilled I'm bringing a girl home."
"Why?"
"I told you, he wants me to settle down."
She giggles, "Oh right... But Natsu, I wanna go on adventures with you."
"Really?!"
"Yeah! I wanna see more of this world! I wanna experience life, and what better way than with my love by my side."
"I think our first trip will be to see your friend Levy. I'd like to meet her and invite her to become part of our court."
"Are you serious?"
"Why not? We need linguists, especially while we travel and since she's your best friend, at least you'll have additional company."
Lucy turns around shrieking with happiness; she plants a big kiss on his lips. "Natsu you spoil me! I don't feel like I'm doing enough to thank you."
"How can you say that Luce?" He softens his eyes, "Last night alone was one of the most special things you could have ever given me."
"Still..." she runs her hands along his pecs, "I wanna do more for you too."
"Do you have something in mind?" She nods and gets off. Swinging his legs to hang off the edge of the seat, she kneels between them and releases the wrap from his waist. What are you..."
"Shhh..." she puts a finger over his lips, "Just close your eyes and relax."
Satisfied that he's not looking, Lucy takes a bottle of strawberry flavored oil she found in Lisanna's armoire and drizzles a little on her hand. "Luce, what's that?"
"Something fun..." she wraps her lubricated hand around his semi-flaccid dick, squeezing lightly as she strokes top to bottom at the same time softly kissing along his inner thighs.
"Oh wow..." he moans and sinks lower on the ledge. "That feel so gooood Lucy." As it grows strong and stands firm within her grasp, her lips tease the area around it. Growing braver she moves lower trying to figure out the right angle like Kinana tried to explain to her. She pulls his hips down so he's hanging further off the edge. Still stroking his shaft, she drags her tongue along his inner thigh, lower to the center under his balls searching, he grips onto the edge of the bench seat when she flicks and tickles a very sensitive area, "Holy Shit!" he cries out; she's found the spot Kinana told her about. Grinning, she continues to twirl her tongue and suck on the bundle of nerve endings sending Natsu right out of his mind with intense pleasure, his body twisting in sheer ecstasy. "Luuccce..." he growls. Moving back higher, she sucks his balls one at a time into her mouth, careful on the sensitive organs but they are only a pit stop. Soon her hand stops its massage of his dick and her tongue takes over. Licking it from the bottom up and around the length of the shaft, Natsu has weaved his fingers into her hair whimpering and moaning, "Baby..." She swirls her wet muscle around the head before taking the full length into her mouth, clamping down and allows her tongue to massage the fleshier part of the shaft. "Holy Shit!" He jumps causing the head to hit the back of her throat. "Fuck, Luce!" Adding to the tongue massage she moves up and down, stopping at the head before going back down again. Over and over she carries on the routine, slowly speeding up when she finds a comfortable groove. He leans his head back, "Luce your so fucking good at this..." She feels a change in shape, a swell growing. "Damn... baby you're gonna make me explode soon...."
"Good..." she mumbles. Pacing her breathing, she pushes herself to take his dick all the way in, allowing the head to hit the back of her throat every time she goes down.
"Fuck!!" he cries out and grips tighter to her hair; he's starting to pull hard on it but she doesn't want to stop yet, she wants to make him cum. With each hit to her throat he feels the pressure building. She grips his thighs to keep him still and works his dick harder. "Lucy!!" he lets out a high-pitched scream as his sticky stream shoots out into her mouth and down her pipe. His whole body tenses and arches as the pulsing continues. She massages the shaft with her lips and tongue, coaxing out every, last, drop. Finally, his body sinks down completely spent and she releases him with a pop.
"That good huh?" she grins, now it's her turn to feel a swelling of pride, licking up a few stray juices around her lips.
"Fuck Luce, and watching you do it was so friggin provocative!" he narrows his eyes, "I'd take you right now if I was so spent." The serious intonation makes her tremble slightly.
"But I'm having fun being the one to tease you..." she coyly retorts. "And since you're in less of a position to stop me..." She sinks her mouth over his limp cock and creates a deeper suction force than before; her tongue swirls at the same time.
"Damn it Luce!!" he growls and loses himself once again to her erotic ministrations. Bobbing her head up and down her work quickly pays off as his dick rises back to attention. "Too... fucking... good... at that!" He feels her lips curl into a grin. "Ughhhhh! You are so... gonna get it..." She squeezes her lips around the shaft and sucks deeply until the head strikes the back of her throat again. He jerks up in response. "That's it Princess!" he grabs her head and pulls her up. "Punishment time!" Throwing her over his shoulder with Lucy giggling and shrieking to put her down he drops her onto the bed. But before she can scramble away he flips her onto her stomach and yanks her legs over the edge. Seating his dick firmly against her perky ass he pins her hips between himself and the bed. With one hand, he holds her down from the small of her back and with the other he reaches down and pulls up at the skirt of her dress until her flesh is revealed.
"Tsk, Such a naughty girl my Princess... No underwear again?"
Teasing, "If my King does not like it, I will stop being so uncouth."
He leans over next to her ear growling, "When we get home," he nips her ear, "in our bed chambers this is how I'll expect you to be at all times." Her body shudders under him, "understood?"
"Yes Natsu..." she whimpers
Reaching between her legs, he trails his fingers over her slick opening, "Tell me, who do you belong to now?"
"You Natsu..." she quivers in his hand.
With the head of his cock he rubs and teases her saturated hole, "I didn't hear you Princess, who do you belong to?"
"I belong to you Natsu!"
"Damn right only me," he grins and slips just the head in to torture her. "Is this what you want baby?"
"Yes!" she whimpers.
He pulls back out, "Yet you were having so much fun teasing me a few moments ago..."
"I..." he slips the tip back in making her groan again. "Please Natsu...." Constricting her muscles around his head, "...She needs him..." Bemoaning, "I want him inside me..."
Natsu snaps his hips thrusting the whole length into her, she screams from the hit. "Oh my God! Natsu..." he rams her again just as hard. "Fucking, so deep! Shit!"
But every time he stops between thrusts, her walls instantly constrict around his shaft. "Damn Luce... so... tight..." He rocks his hips in a fluid in and out motion "But it feels so fucking incredible..."
"Tease me more baby..." she begs him, "Please Natsu... my King..."
"I love it when you beg Luce!" Licking his fingers to lubricate them he reaches around and starts to tickle and rub her clit. He watches as her hands grip at the bedding... "You like?"
"Oh damn, Yes! I love it! I love you Natsu!" Her arms prop up her upper body to arch her back.
He leans down and kisses her between the shoulder blades, "I love you too Lucy." Working her pleasure button and rubbing the right center of her core, her pussy is dripping like crazy. Natsu feels the juices trickling down his thighs.
"Natsu..." her pitch is elevated. "Slow down or you're gonna make me cum too fast..."
"She feels too good baby..." his own voice is higher and cracking, "I'm gonna cum again Luce..." He speeds up in all his movements. "Close..." she can hear the strain in his voice.
"Me... Too..." His dick swells against the pressure already building between her walls. "Natsu!!!" she starts to scream and convulse.
"Luucceee..." he explodes at the same time. "Ahhh...." The pulsing of her muscles push his mind and body out of control. He pumps harder, still working his fingers against her clit.
"Natsu!!!" she screams again. "Oh, my Godddd!!!!!!" Her muscles contracts so violently her head flies backward hitting his chest. For a split second, he worries she hit her head hard but when her hands fly up and around his neck just gripping on for dear life... "Natsu... Don't stop yet!"
With each squeeze of her walls keeping him invigorated, the whole scene, her insatiable lust is just mind-blowing to him. "Fuck I love you my Queen!" he bites down hard on her neck, so hard she knows it's going to leave a bruise.
"Natsu," she pants, "...a mark..."
Growling, "I don't care anymore! I want people to know you're taken!" He pulls out and flips her onto her back. "No other man is allowed to even touch you or they'll have to answer to me!"
"Natsu..." her eyes widen from the jealous fury in his eyes, but it's even more provocative to her. "I like this side of you..." She grabs his neck and pulls him down slamming her lips against his. "Now keep fucking me!"
Loving the intensity in her eyes, "Damn girl!" He pushes her legs down into almost a full split and grins, "you won't be able to walk in the morning" and pushes all the way back into her.... eventually reaching his third climax of the night and giving her a second.
Lucy awakens the next day with Natsu half sprawled on top, half off her. Trying to move her lower half, he had been right, she feel as if she had ridden a horse for a full day straight. Too lazy to push herself, she twists her fingers lazily in his hair just listening to his light snores and smiling to herself. Before a week ago, if you had asked she would have told you she'd probably end up a lonely spinster chambermaid, stuck in this castle for the rest of her life but now, looking back at the sleeping man, she was bedded and engaged to a Prince. Lucy chuckles in her head, 'wait till Levy finds out...'
A rumbling in her stomach causes Natsu to stir and roll to his side. With his eyes still closed she sits up and inches to the edge of the bed. When she places her feet on the ground and tries to stand, her legs are wobbly but manageable; if anything, the only part that's tender is between them. 'At least no blood this time...'she doesn't see any. Lucy looks back at her future husband adoringly, he had worked very hard to cater to her desires. She doesn't even know what possessed her last night, but her aching hunger for him knew no end. Even now staring down at his naked body she must resist the urge to touch him, to grab him, hell to sink her mouth over his sumptuous cock. 'Patience Lucy, let the poor man sleep!'
After relieving and freshening up, she returns to find him still asleep but on his back. So, relaxed looking with his arms above his head and a slight smile on his face. She takes the moment to scan over his chiseled features, how can one man be so fucking alluring! Lucy's mouth salivates over the lewd images taking over her mind.
Crawling back into bed, she slinks between his outstretched legs until she's hovering over his morning woody. 'Wake-up call Natsu...' her tongue slowly licks up along the shaft, one side... he twitches in his sleep... the other side... his breath hitches... around the head... his hands drop from above his head to his sides... sinking her mouth over the whole stick... a deep groan... "Luce?" Her lips apply pressure to the base of his cock before sucking in an upward movement, a loud pop when the head is released.
"Good Morning Natsu." She grins at the half-awake man before resuming her mouth palpitations.
"Mmmm..." moaning, "...could you... wake me up like this every morning..."
She giggles through her work without stopping. Natsu strokes her head and twists his fingers in her hair. Slow and steady, she pleasures his cock with deliberate and measured application of her lips and tongue to his most sensitive areas, like the fleshy spot just below the head. As her actions slowly increase in speed he begins to writhe while his moans take on a higher tone. "Damn... Luce... this is... even better than yesterday..." Instead of the carnal feats of the day before, this more sensual exploitation of his cock is much more maddening to his senses. The closer she brings him to nirvana, the harder it becomes for him to resist... His hips begin to pump his cock begging for the more lecherous but she clamps down hard, mumbling with a full mouth. "Not yet." He pouts
"Lucy..." he bemoans, "Please..."
"Beg me..." She grins around his swollen cock.
"My queen... he desires more..." A shuddering moan as she pulses her tongue against his frenulum. "Please my love..." Satisfied of her control over the Prince she speeds up and takes it all the way in, deep seating his shaft till the head bumps against her throat. "Shit!" Pacing her breathing, over and over she performs this motion until his cries turn to heavier breathing. High pitched moans the closer he becomes to the point of no return. "Lu...." His hips buck and back arches from the explosive orgasm she's taken him to. "Fuuuuckk!" As he rides out the intensive spasms she tenderly massages his pulsing shaft with her bottom lip. After a few moments, his body relaxes and she crawls up to his side, resting her head on his chest. He kisses her forehead, "Love you Luce."
"Love you too Natsu."
They spend the next three days to themselves in the room. The love bite that Natsu put on her neck was indeed very dark and frankly unmistakable for what it was; it'll take at least another week to go away or at least lighten enough for makeup to cover it. Luckily for Lucy, her friend Kinana came up with a plan. Feigning illness, Lucy is supposedly recuperating in her room, but in reality, she's with Natsu and Kinana brings them fresh water and food at breakfast, lunch, and dinner time; that way she never needs to leave the room.
In passing the time between the night games, Natsu tells Lucy even more about his life and about Kelekona. She can't stop laughing when he talks about his best friend Gray and how much they bicker constantly. Fire and ice he describes it, two completely different personalities yet there's no other person he'd rather having fighting by his side. His blue cat Happy that he's had since he found it as a kitten is usually glued to his side whenever he's home; unless his sisters cat Charle is in heat, then they have to keep him locked in the bedroom. Then he tells her about their army and she's amazed to learn the general is not a man but a woman named Erza. Toughest, scariest chick around according to Natsu and deadliest with a sword in her hands. He has several cousins that all have roles at the castle, being all around the same age, they are like his entourage. "Gajeel is kinda gruff, Rogue is quiet, but stay away from Sting unless I'm around, he's kind of a flirt and I may have to beat him up if he touches you."
That makes her giggle, "You should teach me a few self-defense techniques I can use on him." That makes Natsu grin.
"I might just do that, I'd love to see a girl kick his ass! You know Luce, you'll need to have your own court too, like Levy could be in it, and if you have anyone else in mind we can go talk to them."
"Back home I have a few other friends I'd love to see again." She taps her chin, "There's Cana and Juvia, Yukino... Maybe I can steal my father's servants!"
"Who are all those guys?"
"Well Virgo and Aries are maids, Aquarius is skilled at dressing and presentation. Capricorn is like a butler, Cancer used to do my hair; he's amazing at it. Scorpio takes care of grounds keeping, but he's also married to Aquarius. Leo, Sagittarius, and Taurus are my father's personal body guards; Sag is a skilled bowman and hunter, Taurus is brute strength, and while Leo may not look like it, his hand-to-hand combat training is very good. But his true skill is being able to talk a volatile situation down so it doesn't require fighting. Plus, he and Aries are very close."
"If they are what you want my dear, I will make sure it happens."
"My father is not going to give them up so easy."
"You said he's greedy right, I'm sure we can just buy him out and if not I'm a Prince, who is he to go up against me." Natsu grins, "I could sick Erza on him too."
She cuddles up to him on the bed, "I'm excited..."
Natsu figures his father will probably arrive around the same time as the Queen so once the other servants have gone to bed, Lucy sneaks back to her room for a couple hours and packs up her few belongings.
It's the last night they believe of their captivity and all throughout the day it played on their minds because all the budding lovers knew was this room. Ten days is all it had taken... she sighs on his chest, 10 days for their lives to change so dramatically and for once in her life Lucy was no longer lonely or scared of her future. For him a sense of serenity and contentment for what was to come has stilled his restless mind. The burden of being a King no longer seemed so petrifying with her at his side... he exhales and wraps his arms around her. Natsu closes his eyes, for tomorrow will begin this new chapter of their lives and that peace of mind lulls him to sleep.
Once Lucy can feel Natsu's breathing has evened out and his slumber should last till morning, she sneaks back to her own room; not wanting to be caught by Lisanna when she comes home. Most of the evidence from her time in the royal suites she's pretty sure she's taken care of but if not, it was too late now.
Back in her cold bed without the warmth of Natsu beside her, she shivers and pulls the covers to her chest. It was almost as if she had forgotten how this felt like. 'One more night...' and the young chambermaid will be back in her lover's arms once more.
It had taken two days for the messenger to relay the letter to King Igneel and as soon as he received it, he and a small band set out for the Kingdom of Fiore and its capital city of Crocus. The small group arrive just as Queen Mira steps out of her carriage and demand an audience with her. "Of course, King Igneel, please follow me." She and her guards take them to the throne room.
"This is a serious incident your Highness. Two weeks ago, my son and his men here..." he gestures to the four boys behind him, "were attacked by a slave trader and my son taken against his will. Then four days ago we received a letter from my him telling us he was here and it was your sister who arranged the whole thing!"
"Oh no! King Igneel I had no idea that boy was your son!"
"I want him released immediately and that sister of yours punished for kidnapping!"
"Bixlow! Freed! Bring me Natsu right now, and my sister!"
"Wait, there is another matter as well, my son requests you release a chamber maid named Lucy Heartfillia."
"Lucy? But why?"
"He wishes to take her with him."
"Really?" She smirks, "Elfman, please bring Lucy here as well."
"As you wish m'lady." They all bow and rush out of the throne room.
As soon as they reach the hall leading to the Princesses suite they can hear screaming coming from within. "I demand you perform for me as you were brought here to do!" "I told you, I am not some ignorant slave, I will never give myself to someone like you! No matter who the hell you are!" "How dare you talk to me like that! Wait!! What is this? Who's been in my room?!!" "What are you talking about?" "I can smell it on the bed, you've had sex in here! Who the hell is the slut?!" Don't you dare call her a slut! "You're the fucking slut here!" Without knocking or any warning, Bixlow and Freed break down Lisanna's door and straightaway grab her while another servant pulls the key that hangs from around her neck to free Natsu.
"What do you think you are doing?! Unhand me!" Lisanna screams at them, "How dare you treat me like this, I am the Princess!" But they continue to drag her out of the room. "Damn it let me go!"
Natsu smirks the whole way as he casually walks behind them, snickering at the unruly girl. Midway to the throne room he sees Lucy walking up alongside Elfman from another corridor. "Lucy!" he rushes past the other guards and screaming female to pull her into a hug. He kisses her deeply on the lips. "I missed waking up with you in my arms this morning."
"Natsu!" she hugs and kisses him back. "I missed you too."
Lisanna sees them kiss and starts shrieking, "You bitch!! You're the whore who's stolen what's mine!" She pulls as hard as she can, trying desperately to reach for them, but Bixlow and Freed hold her tight.
Natsu takes hold of Lucy's hand and places himself between the two women. "She didn't steal anything! I told you, I wasn't going to sleep with a slut like you!"
Even more enraged, "How dare you call me a slut!" "Bixlow, Freed, let me go so I can claw her friggin' eyes out!" Natsu feels Lucy shrinking away so he turns and hugs her,
"I've got ya Luce, she's not gonna hurt you, I won't allow it." He lifts her chin, "Just keep your eyes on me."
"She's crazy Natsu... What if she gets free?"
Bixlow grins, "Oh that ain't happening on our watch Miss Lucy, don't you worry."
"AHHHH! And you call me the slut! Did she spread her legs to catch you is that it?!"
"Stupid whore. You kidnapped me thinking you could have your way but I would rather die than given you the satisfaction that Yes she got from me!"
"Fucking bastard, you did sleep with her!"
"Yeah! In your bed!" he snickers. "and the window seat, and the bath, and..."
Screaming even louder, "I can't believe you'd rather choose a chambermaid over a Princess?!!!"
"Lucy has more class and elegance than you Lisanna; you who does not deserve that title, and if you must know I plan to make her my wife," he grins, "and a future Queen!"
Lisanna is flabbergasted, "What do you mean Queen? You are not a King!"
Natsu lifts Lucy's hand to show Lisanna his royal seal. "I am the Prince of Kelekona, and heir to the throne." His smirk grows.
"I can't believe this is fucking happening!" she screams. "A fucking chambermaid!! She's not even nobility!"
Finally, Lucy's had enough, she walks straight up to Lisanna and slaps her so hard in the face Lisanna sees stars, "I'm so sick and tired of you, you goddamn bitch! You kidnapped Natsu to use and abuse just like all the others before him! You are a cruel wench! Tch, Too bad for you he didn't give in." she snickers, "For your information Lisanna, I am from a noble family! And..." she grins evilly and moans, "Natsu is an incredible lover!"
Furious, Lisanna uses all her weight to break her captors hold and reach out for Lucy but Bixlow and Freed pull her back, "Ahhhh! Fuck You Lucy!"
"No that's what he did!" Lucy smirks, and sashays back to Natsu's side, where he takes her hand and kisses it. "I really, really like this feisty side Mrs. Dragneel."
She giggles, "Me too, it felt good to finally slap her."
They've reached the throne room where Mira can hear the screaming before they even walk in.
"Y-you both can go to hell for all I care!" Lisanna continues to pull at her captor's arm, "Damn it let go of me Bixlow!"
"Sorry but we are following the Queen's orders."
"This is Bullsh..!"
"Ahem!" Mira clears her throat. "Lisanna just shut up, you're in big enough trouble as is."
Walking up to his father, Natsu squeezes Lucy's hand before letting go to hug his dad. "Natsu I'm so glad you're safe! We had search parties looking everywhere for you."
"You should all thank Lucy here, she's the one who saved me."
She blushes, "I just sent the letter..."
"Come here you!" King Igneel pulls her into a bear hug making Natsu laugh. "Thank you, young lady."
"You're, welcome." She squeaks out.
The rest of the Kelekona entourage walk up to Natsu while Igneel is busy thanking Lucy. Gray punches his shoulder, "Fucker, did you miss us?"
"Not really." He punches his friend back. "That blonde kept me occupied..."
Sting walks up behind and puts his arms over his cousin's shoulders, "So who is that girl?" ogling over her. "Fair game?"
Natsu throws Stings arms off him, "My fiancé, so keep your friggin' hands off!"
"Gehe, little cousins got a girl! Who saw that coming?"
"At least she's pretty."
"Are you blind Rogue? She's fucking gorgeous! How the hell did you catch this one Natsu?!"
Natsu pushing Sting hard by the shoulders, "Sting I swear, if you put one finger on her I will fucking kick your ass!"
Sting pushes back, "Oooh, I'm so scared little Prince!"
Igneel puts the blonde back down. "Boy's!! Behave in here!"
Natsu breaks away from Sting and sweeps Lucy up in his arms. "Sorry, should have warned you he's a hugger!" kissing her cheek.
"It's okay," she smiles, "he's just as I pictured him from your stories." She looks at the four men that have come up behind them, "Um, so I also assume these are the guys you told me about?"
"Yeah," he runs his hand through his hair. "Sorry about the fighting..."
She caresses his cheek, "Don't be sorry my love... boys will be boys sometimes."
Just then Sting walks up and pulls Lucy away from Natsu into his arms. "Hey there," he squeezes her waist, "You sure you want this little brat, you know I'm better at a lot of things than he is." He wiggles his eyebrows.
Natsu makes a move towards them, "Fucking Sting I told you..." Lucy holds up her hand stopping him dead in his tracks. 'Woah's!' and dropped jaws from everyone in the Kelekona group, Igneel just chuckles that a girl just shut his son up.
"Oh, is that so?" Sting nods, grinning like an idiot. "You think I'm gonna just swoon for you?"
"Yeah..." she knees him hard in the groin and lets him drop to the ground.
Loud gasps and snickering erupts as she saunters back to Natsu, "Damn! Luce, I don't think you need the self-defense lessons."
"It was just an excuse to get you alone..." she purrs in his arms, "But you can thank Leo later, he's the one who taught me a few things already."
Igneel bellows a deep laughter and slaps his son in the back, "Oh-ho, sounds like this girl's the perfect catch boy, smart, pretty, and tough enough to handle you boys; better not screw it up!"
"I don't plan to." Natsu retorts. "That's why I'm doing things the right way..." he holds up Lucy's left hand to show his dad the ring on her finger. "She's already said yes." He flashes his father a huge cheeky grin. Even Queen Mira smiles from her throne.
Lisanna, who had been quiet during the reunion starts shrieking, "Will someone tell me, why the hell was I dragged here!"
Everyone turns their heads to look at her. "Oh, my dear, dumb sister... did you know that the young man you had kidnapped was the Prince of Kelekona! Your actions could have started a war! Don't you realize that's what you would have caused? But luckily for us, because of Lucy, that will be avoided." Natsu squeezes her waist.
"I-I swear I had no idea..." the dejected Princess laments.
"Lisanna, a war may have been averted but that does do not mean you will go without punishment. Up till now you've only purchased regular slaves and that is not a crime but this time you went too far and I am through putting up with your indiscretions." Lisanna's eyes grow wide. "Sister or not, kidnapping is a crime punishable by 5 years in the dungeon and I will not tolerate what you did to that man, nor how you have tarnished our family name any longer."
Lisanna pulls against her captors, "Wait you can't be serious!"
"I hope that in the time you spend in your cell, you will learn the error of your ways. Guards, get her out of my sight."
"No!!" she screams as Bixlow and Freed drag her away. "Mira!!"
"King Igneel, again I am truly, truly sorry for my sister actions. I hope that you will not look unkindly upon my kingdom."
"In the letter that my son sent, he said that you were a kind Queen and that had you known what your sister had done you wouldn't tolerate it. Based on his words, I do not feel we will have any issues between our two kingdoms." Lucy smiles up at Natsu who squeezes her again.
"Thank you King Igneel. I look forward to a relationship with your kingdom." Turning to Lucy. "My dear, see I told you things would work out eventually." She winks at the girl.
"Queen Mira, m-may I ask, was this what you meant by part of your plan?"
Mira smiles, "Yes and No, I just had hope for my chambermaid's happiness."
Lucy blushes, "Thank you."
"No thank you, and thank yourself for I am sure that your sweet nature is what saved all of us."
"Yes, it is..." Natsu smiles down at his girl.
They all hear a sniffle and turn to the burly king, "What?" he wipes an escaping tear from his eye, "I'm just happy I'll finally have a daughter-in-law!" Everyone starts laughing.
Natsu turns back to his blushing blonde, "Are you ready to go home my Princess?"
She wraps her arms around his waist, "Yes... My Prince..."
