Juvia Pov

"Why are you laughing?" He asked, I tried to calm down but I ended up laughing harder. "Stop it." Gray said getting agitated.

"That's the worse excuse ever." I replied, still giggling a little.

"I'm  not joking, Juvia." He looked me straight at me and I knew he wasn't lying. I took a moment but my smile still on my face. I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a little peck on the lips. 

"I don't care if you're a Prince or not. You are Gray and nothing will change that."

"I don't understand."

"I fell in love with you Gray. You. Not the Prince." He looked shocked, his eyes widen and his jaws dropped.

"Did you just say you love me?" I blushed and nodded my head. His mouth titled into a smile, a huge one and he hugged me. "I love you too, Juvia." He whispered.

"So does that mean we can be together?"

"But what would your parents say?" He held me by my shoulders and looked deeply into my eyes. My face fell, I haven't thought about it.

"You're right. Then let's run away. Together." He looked at me as if I just grown a second head or something.

"I'm not a Prince but you are a Princess and you can't deny your duties." He place a hand above mine. "You have to go back."

"If I go back they will force me to marry Jellal." I stated, tears rushed to my eyes but I blinked them back.

"But we can't stay in the woods forever." I looked around at our situation. He was right we can't, there isn't enough wild berries for us to survive one.

"What do you plan to do?" He raised one eyebrow and his gave a lopsided grin.

"Why don't you stay at my palace first then we figure out what to do later?" I laughed, not because the suggest was stupid though.

"Well, technically it isn't YOUR palace." I teased and brust into a fit of giggles. He looked at me and did the same.

"Okay Princess you got me." He raised his hands in surrender.

"Yeah sure. I think that's a great idea." I agreed, after I have regain my composure.

"Let's call it a night for now." Gray suggested when he saw me yawn, making him do too. I nodded and both of us crawled into the hut he built.

I awoke to the rays that were shining through the gaps between the twigs. I turned and smiled to see the most beautiful girl lying beside me. I got out of the hut and stretched,  breathing in the fresh air. I took out my phone and called.

"Hey, where are you?" Lyon's voice rang out worried at the other end of the line.

"Long story but right now we are in a woods, not far from the Fernandes Palace." I shivered from the thought of being near that guy.

"Okay. Got it." That's what I liked about Lyon. He never asked too many questions and he always knew what I was thinking.

"Thanks." I smiled and hung up.

"Who was that, Sad Butler?" I jumped a little. Juvia was standing behind me, she wore small smile.

"That was help." I said, then paused, her words sinking in. "Wait. I didn't tell you I was a Butler." She just grinned.

"You don't need to." Her tone cheeky and sexy at the same time. She came over to me planting a kiss on my lips. I blushed at the sweet surprise.

Be there in 5. My phone vibrated in my hand. I showed the screen to her.

"So we just wait." I announced, typing a reply.

"Gray." I lifted my eyes of the screen. "If you aren't the Prince of that Kingdom. Who is?" She crocked her head slightly to the side.

"You will find out soon."

*****

"Gray?!" I heard a voice called out.

"Over here!" Pushing the branches aside, he stepped over the log and came over. The white hair guy stood in front of us with a shy grin on his face.

"Lyon. This is Princess Juvia." I motioned towards her, they took each other hands and smiled.

"Nice to meet you, Princess."

"Juvia. This is Prince Lyon from the Vastia Palace."

"So this is the Prince." I nodded. "And you are his Butler?" She looked between the two of us.

"Yup." Lyon replied.

"You got some major explaining to do, Sad Prince." She raised an eyebrow at me.

"I thought it was Sad Butler?" I teased her back.

"You will always be a Prince to me." She said in a flirty way and giggled. Lyon cleared his throat, making us both turned abruptly towards him and blush.

"If you are done, maybe we should go home." Lyon said.

"And maybe you can explain why you pretend to be a Prince." Juvia jabbed me gently in the shoulder. We all headed out of the woods and into the carriage that was waiting for us.

*****

"So you pretended to be the Prince just cause Lyon didn't want to?" We nodded our heads simultaneously. "What about the King and Queen?"

"Nah. They didn't mind." Prince Vastia explained. We talked about it until we reached the Palace. Juvia came up with me to my room.

"I should go take a shower." I said, sniffing myself. I turned around I realised that he was stripped down to his boxer shorts. My eyes couldn't help but to move down to that area but I forced myself to meet his eyes. He passed me a towel and told me that he'll go get some clothes for me.

A/N: Nothing exciting. Just a fluffy chapter to fill in all the missing pieces. But anyway next chapter will be a lemon.
