Juvia Pov

"I have to meet that.....that..." I didn't how the right word to use to describe him.

"Please calm down, Princess." Levy held my hand. I look into her wet blue puppy eyes and decided to take a few breath.

"I think I will go take a shower." I annoyed before heading off to my bathroom.

Levy Pov

Once I heard the water start I grabbed Juvia's phone off the table and key in Prince Gray's number.

"Ah, little Princess....."

"Prince Gray......" I cut him off.

"Wait, who is this?" As I talked to the Prince in a low voice I kept my eyes on the door to the bathroom Juvia was in.

"This is Levy. Princess Juvia's maid. I need your help."

"Anything for Juvia."

"The Princess is to meet Prince Jellal tomorrow. Problem is Juvia had a bad history with him and I need you help to make sure nothing happen to her."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Well, Prince Jellal is a lot stronger than us."

"Okay, I'll help."

"Be here at 9am. Sneak through the back. I'll be waiting."

"I'll be there."

"Levy?" Juvia's voice made me jump slightly at my seat on her bed.

"Bye." I said hasty into the phone and hung up.

"Yes, Princess?" I place the phone back on the table.

"Oh." There was a pause. "It's okay, I got it." Even though I couldn't see her, I knew that she had a embarrassed smile and a slight blush on her face as she said that. I gig led to myself a little as I went down to meet up with Erza and Lucy.

"Hey, come and join us." Lucy beckons me over.

"Yeah, but you're not getting any of my yummy cake." The red head circle her arms around her piece of cake, protecting it like it was gold. I slumped down to the seat next to Lucy and let out a little sigh.

"What's wrong?" Erza, stuffing a piece of her strawberry cake in her mouth.

"Princess have to go to meet Prince Jellal tomorrow." The both of them froze and stared at me, their mouths dropped open and their eyes were as big as saucers.

"What are we going to do?" Lucy's voice rang out in barely a whisper.

"I called Prince Gray for help but I don't know if that will be enough."

"If it's the three of us plus Prince Gray I'm sure we can handle him." Lucy nodded her head with agreement to Erza.

"Sure we can but the problem will be Juvia wouldn't let us help." We all thought of a second.

"So we don't let her know we will be helping easy as that." Erza smiled at herself for coming up with such a brilliant plan.

"I hope this works." I mumbled to myself and got up and headed to my room.

The next day

Gray Pov

I met Levy from the back of the palace as she had told me to. Now she was leading down the dark, dusty hallway of the basement.

"Where are we going?" My voice echoing off the walls.

"We have to get you a disguise." Was all she said as an explanation. She was kinda jittery, her face a pale and she was nibbling on her lower lip.

"So what's with Juvia and Prince Jellal." Her eyes moved from door to door, then opening one at the end of the hallway.

"The Loxar and The Fenandes are very close." She paused as she picked out something from a nearby box, then sitting down on the stool while I did the same. "We visited them many time. He was nice at first, very kind towards the Princess." She stopped, looking out of the small windows, afraid to continue.

"That doesn't sound like anything bad." She ignored the comment and continued the story.

"It was after a few visit then he started to get nasty. Every time we went over for a visit he would find a way to torture her. Weather it was molest or just beating her up, he always found a new way each time we went over."

"So Juvia told you all about it?" She shook her head sadly.

"He always locked the room they were in but Lucy, Erza and I never trusted him so we were always just outside. It's terrible....." Her lips started to quiver, there were tears in her eyes. "The screams. The shouts. It's just so painful." Her shaking voice continued. "Then when she exits..." She sniffed, the tears were starting to fall. "All that scars!" She whispered, hands balled up into fist. "And she begs us not to tell the King and Queen." Levy brought her knees up, wrapping her arms around them then burying her face and let all her tears flow. "I just wish there was something I could do." She sobbed. I got up and kneeled down in front of the crying maid. Placing my hands on her shoulders.

"You done enough. Now I'll do what I can to stop it but I'm going to need your help." My mouth broke into a tiny encouraging smile which she returned. She wiped her face, took a deep breath, still holding on to the piece of fabric in her hands and determination in her eyes. She dashed around the room and then came back, a small pile of clothes stacked in her arms.

"Put this on." She handed them over to me.

"What is it?"

"Well, a Butler suit of course. How else do you expect to enter the palace without being noticed?" She had a light giggle in her tone now.

"But she would still recognise me." My smile faded, replaced by a frown of worry. There a cheeky grin spread across Levy's face.

"There is where Lucy would come in." She saw the confused look on my face and laughed. "She will do your hair and make up. That way no one would recognise you."

"Won't they find it weird to suddenly find a new Butler?"

"So many questions, Prince Gray. Don't worry just go get changed." She pushed me into a small cubicle in the corner of the room and I for changed in the back, raven tailed suit with a shirt dress shirt inside and a straight cut pants to go along with it.

Immediately as I stepped out, she grabbed my hand and rushed me upstairs where Lucy and her sprit, Cancer, was waiting.

"Sit." She motioned to the chair in front of her. Cancer got to work on my hair and the blond worked on my face. Once they were done I old hardly recognise myself in the mirror.

"Woah." I gasped. The two girls stood by the side, pleased by their work.

It's nearly time." Levy exclaimed, checking her watch.

"Well, it's now or never." Lucy expressed quite nervously. I took a couple deep breaths and nodded my head.

"In here." That was Erza, she lead me to the carriage where the maids were supposed to take, along with all the bags. The Royal family were in a carriage in front of ours.

And so we were off towards the Fernandes Palace. Don't worry little Princess I'll protect you.

A/N: long chapter but it's not over yet I just decided to spilt it into 2 parts. And to all the Jellal fans sorry for making him the bad guy. I like him too but it can't be helped. XP
