Love Between Royals

~Chapter One~

~Magnolia Year x792~

It's been two weeks since the war with Alvarez, and everything in the town of Magnolia has returned to normal. Well, as normal as it can be in this city. The people of Magnolia can be seen going about their day. Whether it's shopping, dining, or even just wandering about spending time with their significant other. Smile all throughout the city thanks to the resident guild in this city. Fairy Tail.

Inside the Fairy Tail guildhall members can be seen brawling, talking over a drink, or just sitting back enjoying the lively atmosphere. The current guild master, Makarov Dreyar, can be seen sitting cross-legged atop the bar nursing a beer while watching his 'children' in content. Mira was behind said bar cleaning the dishes, while Kinana was dancing about taking orders, and picking up dirty dishes. Erza is sitting to Makarov's left happily munching away at strawberry cake. Gajeel at his usual spot next to Levy, Jet, and Droy. Laxus, like always is sitting on the second floor overlooking the guild. And the rest of Team Natsu sitting at a table near by the bar.

It was reaching nine in the morning when the guild doors burst open. In the doorway stood a lean, muscular young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Upon his head he had spikey, rose colored hair, and his face held deep onyx eyes, burning as strong and bright as Dragon Fire. A wide grin, reaching his eyes, adorned his features showing off his pearly white, dragon like, canines. This man was none other than Natsu Dragneel, Fairy Tail's resident Fire Dragon Slayer.

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!" Natsu exclaimed to the heavens. And as he made way over to the bar, he was meet with cheers and greetings in some manner.

"Morning gramps, Mira, and Erza," he greeted, "and one Flaming Steak please Mira." He ordered, taking a seat to the left of Erza as the greeted him.

"Sure thing Natsu, I'll be back in a moment." Mira chirped, a bright smile painted on her face as she made her way down to the guilds kitchen.

"So, anything new gramps?" Natsu asked.

"Nothing that requires immediate attention my boy." the old guild master replied as he took a drink of his coffee, and at this time Mira returned with meal.

"Although I have noticed a change in your mission habits," Makarov spoke again, "and don't think I haven't notice you disappearing for three day at a time."

This statement caught the whole guilds attention, and when they though back over the last two weeks, they also realized Natsu has been disappearing for a few days at a time, only to return like nothing happened.

Natsu chuckled a bit before responding, "Don't worry about it gramps, it's nothing bad. In fact, I can see some of you getting jealous about it."

This cause the whole guild to become confused at this statement. "What on Earthland would we be jealous of you about?" Erza voiced everyone's question.

Natsu realizing what he said mentally berated himself. "Sorry, but I've said too much."

This only enraged the Scarlet Knight. "Natsu you will tell me or I will force it out of you!" The red aura building around her in an attempt to intimidate him.

But to the guilds surprise he remained calm, but there was something different about the air he was giving off. It was one that held authority, commanded respect, and power... Lots, and lots of power. Everyone could swear they saw the image of a Dragon behind Natsu as he stood up and face down Erza. Standing tall and proud. The only word they could think of to describe this feeling was royal. Even the mighty Erza Scarlet shrunk away a bit at the sight and feel of this.
