It all started when she was assigned to be his body guard and attendant. They had a rough start, but things got better.
He stopped comparing her to her counterpart, and she started getting to know him.
They started getting closer. At first, it had been completely innocent. Friendship. But then, things took a turn for the worst.
They fell in love.
A king is only allowed to fall in love, have a relationship and marry a princess or noble woman, or at least someone related to that. Anything else was forbidden. And yet, he still picked her over everyone else.
The great king Jellal, had broken the sacred rules and rituals, and picked his royal army captain, Erza Knightwalker.
Jellal had gone on a tremendously long mission that took quite a while to finish.
After his long trip back, he finally gets back to his home and his dearly beloved. Well. They weren't exactly a thing, but who says the boy can't dream?
They had spent some time together and decided to go on a mission. Just the two of them.
All is well until something terrible happens..
What happened that turned out so terrible? Who will have to deal with it the most?
I guess that gives you the cue to read and find out.
