"Good news and bad news." I started. We were in the room Juvia staying in, sitted or lying down on her bed. I glanced over to my other two friends, they nodded telling me to advance.

"Good news is that you are back safely and that you are back with Gray." Levy said with as much enthusiasm as she could. Juvia repiled with a small smile, her cheeks tinted with a tiny blush.

"Bad news is......" I dragged, not wanting to be the one who broke the news to her.

"Well, actually there is more then one." Erza added.

"Spit it out already, guys." Juvia urged us.

"Well for one, we think Lyon likes you." The Princess mouth dropped and her eyes doubled their size.

"You got to be kidding." She shook her head. All three of us looked down.

"Two, we properly should have told you this early but......" I mentioned.

"The King knows you are here." Erza filled in the blanks.

Juvia froze for a momnet "Wait, did you just only say The King?"

"Which leads us to the third point" Lvey fiddled with her fingers, bitting her oower lip. I didn't blame her this was the wrose news and none of us were willing to say it. "The Queen, your mother......" she toom a deep breath and whispered "is gone." Juvia gasped, throwing her hand up to her mouth and her lips were shaking. Tears filled her eyes and she tried to blink them away.

At that momnet, a pink haired servant came in after a knock on the door. Seei g the state Juvia was in he paused for a second "Is this a bad time?" The three of us nodded. "I'm sorry. I just needed to relay a message." I got up, walked to him and brought him outside, leaning agaisnt the door. Being so up close to him, I noticed his sharp features and how cute his hair looked, sticking up in every direction. I felt my cheeks warming up a little.

"And you are?" I raised an eyebrow at the handsome person standing in front of me.

"I'm Natsu. Temporary butler while Gray is out of duty." He bowed and when he got up he flashed me a tiny wink alongside with a cute half smile. I think my heart just melted.

"You said you have a message?" He took a step closer. Now we were sharing the same air, I could feel his warm breath agasint my face.

"Yeah, tell Princess that Prince Lyon would like to see her at the backyard in an hour." He leaned in so close his mouth was at my ear. "And maybe we could go for a walk later. You know just to get to know each other more." He chuckled in my ear making my face to explode into thousands of flames. I nodded. He mumbled a good hye and went off. I stood outside the room for a while more, hoping that my face wasn't still red as I reenter the room.

"We will be staying here for the meantime." I answered when Juvia asked.

"Unless, you don't want us to." Erza added, with a fake puppy face slapped across her face.

"Of course I want you here but what about my father?" Juvia had a light laughter ss she said that.

"Oh what is there to worry. There so any maids at the Palace." Lucy chuckled as she walked back into the room.

"What did he want?" Erza said, she had one hand resting on Juvia's comforting her.

"He said that Prince Lyin wanted to see Juvia in backyard in an hour." Juvia looked over to Lucy, her eyes empty of all emotions and nodded her head.

"I need to get a snack. Anyone wants anything?" I asked, needing to get away from the tension for a while. They all shook their heads. I got off the bed and started to make my way to the kitchen.

"Ow..." I rubbed my forehead. I smacked into something hard. I looked up from the floor. It was a guy. A huge guy with long, black and spiky hair. He had many piercing on his face.

"Tch. Should have watch where you're walking." He snapped but held out a hand for me anyway. I took it. My hands were tiny in his.

"Sorry about that." I dusted myself.

"You should be." He sneered. "You are so tiny." He bend down until his eye was in level with mine.

"No I'm not" I huffed, stamping my feet on the ground.

"You're like a shrimp. Tee hee." He laughed. "Whats your name, shrimp?"

"Don't call me that!" I released my folded arms and relaxed my face "I'm Levy Mcgraden from the Loxar Palace." I smiled, hodling a hand out for him to shake.

"I'm Gajeel Red fox." He smiled back and took my hand. "Nice to meet you, shrimp." He winked as he said the last word, making my face heat up.

Changing to subject, I dropped my hand from his "Where is the kitchen? I got lost." I admitted shyly.

"Tee hee. Let me bring you there." He smriked and pressed his huge, rough hands agaisnt the small of my back and streed me towards the right direction, shivers run down my spine and the heat on my face just increased.
