Lyon Pov

I stayed in my room the whole day until it was time for dinner. I went down reluctantly. I had Gray make dinner early becuase I wanted to go to bed early and just forget about today.

Juvia was seated next to my butler, giggling about something he said. The rest of them surrounded the table in pairs. Natsu and Lucy. Levy and Gajeel. Erza and Jellal. Why is it that everyone has someone but not me? Im a Prince. Girls should be going head over heels for me.

"Good to see you, Prince Jellal." I greeted and took my seat at end of the long table.

He nodded in response. The entire table was chattering which was pretty unusual but at the same time quite pleasant. No one talked to me though, as if I wasn't even there. I don't blame them. U never talk a lot and when I did it was when I'm forced to.

I decided not to talj to Juvia like I planned to. Instead I rushed back into my room once the dinner was finished. Isat on my bed pondering about what I wanted and at last I grabbed a pen and paper, strated to scribbled something down.

Gray and I were the only one left in the kitchen, washing up the dishes. I sat on the counter top as he finished placing the last plate on the dish rack.

"Little Princess?" I stopped humming and looked up.

"What is it?"

"Are you going to do anything about Lyon?" I sat there frozen. "Maybe you should go talk to him." I nodded.

Gray and I walked up to his room. I knocked in the big wodden door twice.

"Lyon?!" Gray called out. He turned to me and shurgged before oulling the door open. The room was empty, the lights were switched off. We walked around the room, looking for any hint on why he left. I came across his table with a letter on it.

"Gray, come and take a look at this." He hurried to my side and pick uo the piece of paper. His eyes start to widen and he bit on his lower lip.

"Gather everyone to the front room now!" His voice was in panic.

Once everyone has settle down in the main room Gray started to talk.

"I have some news to share. Weather its good or bad its really up to you." He held up the letter "This is a letter from Lyon."

Dear Gray,

I am leaving. For good. I woukd like you to relay this message to the rest. I have serval orders left as the Prince of this Kingdom. I do not wish for anyone to disobey or reject them. Before I do, I would like to sincerely apologise to Princess Juvia for my actions and I deeply regretted it. I do not expect you to forgive me, I just wanted you to know. Now, I have some orders that I would like the Palace to carry out.
Firstly, I would like for all my servants to be able to date whoever they want. I know some of you have already been doing that despite the rules but niw you can do it and not be afraid of being seen.
Secondly, I would like for Gray to be the Prince of the Kingdom. I alrwady have the royal documents for this. Gray, you are officially a Prince that means you are now able to marry Juvia.
Lastly, I do not wish for any search party to sent looking for me. I would not tell you where Im heading, I will only tell you not to worry. I brought a sum of money along so I would be able to survive for a while as I find a proper job.
I wish the Kingdom all the best under Gray's new rule and I want all of you to litsen to his orders. I really enjoy working with all of you.

Your former Prince,
Lyon.

Everyone stared in silence. Then at the same time, everyone of them rasied to their feet and bowed down infront of the new Prince. I peered over his crying shoulders and notice that he didn't read one part out.

Gray, you have always been there for me. Through the darkest times and you were the one who was always with me at the brigest of moments. We know each other ever since birth and I so gald to have you in my live. You aren't only my most trustworthy butler, you were my best friend and I wouldn't have asked for more. You given me so much and yet I felt like I gave you nothing in return. I left something for you, in the last drawer of your table. I wish you all the best as the new Prince.

I left up the stairs into his room and went to that drawer. It was filled with photos and notebooks but there was something that stood out. A velvet box with a small nite attached to it. I held it gingerly in my hands, went down and passed it to Gray. He took it, wiping his tears away. He read the note and let out a small pained chuckled.

"What is it?"

He dropped to his knees, his hands outstretched. The whole room stared at us. I felt a tear tickle down my face. He opened the box. In it the most beatiful ring I have ever seen. A small crystal made of ice laid in the center of the gold metal. "Will you marry me, Juvia?" I brust out crying and nodded my head, a smile on my face. He slipped the ring onto my finger and hugged me.

I picked up the box and read the note.
Gray, this is the ring that both of us made when we were teenagers. We promised that the one who found a girl first would get it. And you are it my man. I'm proud of you.

A/N: *sobs* wasnt that beatiful? Maybe not. Anyway one last chap to go.
