Natsu Dragneel is the King of Dragons, but he didn't get their in a happy way. His father didn't proudly set the crown upon his head, oh no. His position was born of tragedy. After his mother died during birth, the neighboring kingdom stole away his baby sister. His father, struck with the grief of losing his wife and daughter, slowly fell into insanity. Thus, at the age of fifteen, Natsu was set onto the throne with no one to help guide him through what could only be described as hell which brought him up into a bitter man. Bitter at that particular neighboring kingdom.
Lucy Heartfilia is the princess of the Elven Kingdom, neighbor to the Dragons. She was completely sheltered by her father, leaving her to be a naive girl when she turned eighteen. Because of that, all of her decisions were made for her. What she would eat, what she would wear, and, finally, who she would marry. That is, until the Dragon King raids her kingdom, kidnapping her in the process. Suddenly, she forced to make her own decisions.

Lucy grew up loved dearly by not only her parents, but the entire kingdom of Fiore. Her mother, the queen, was close friends with the Dragneel family, so the young princess and Natsu were nearly inseparable as children.
However, after Lucy's mother died in an accident, her father turned cold, locking her up for fear of losing his only heir. Lucy struggled just to get through life with no friends and no real family.
The General Games, however, creates a gateway for normal citizens to compete with the goal of becoming a general over the king's soldiers. Natsu plans to use this opportunity to see Lucy again after many years of separation.
But even if he wins, can he save Lucy from both her father and herself?

Oh yeah, and I don't own Fairy Tail or any of that jazz.
