"Good Luck!", said Mira, "You got this in the baag."
Here was Erza Scarlet about to do the daringest thing in history. In her history to be exact. It was the king's 63rd birthday and they are holding a royal jousting tournament at the royal battle field. And Erza being Erza just couldn't ignore her heart's aching to take part,considering she was a girl. "I knew you were rebellious but I would never have thought you'd go this far", muttered Lucy tucking a strand of Erza's scarlet hair underneath her helmet while fixing her mask upwards. "Relax, she'll kick but!", said Airi fist bumping the air, "This is Erza we're talking about, she'll do just fine!"
Erza smiled. Her face was sweating and she was tempted to get rid of the disturbing mask. She watched the royal S - Class Knights knock down the challenges with one swift blow. The royal members eagerly watched the match. Natsu Dragneel prince of the neighbouring country of Fiore along with Gray Fullbuster and Ren Fernandez 2nd Prince Of Fiore. Wendy Marvell, princess of Fiore sat next to her big brother Prince Ren talking to Carla an exceed.
"The next challenger on the list shall face of to the one and only Son of your highness King Faust, Prince Jellal next to the heir!.", announced the royal commissioners. The Prince got up from his seat and descended the staircase. "I heard he's really skilled. He's like an S - Class Knight", informed Levy. "Of course he's like one. He is a prince after all", snorted Airi. "Erza!", warned Mira."Please be careful of your cover. You know there will be consequences. God knows what Angel and Genevieve will do to you if they find out!:
Erza looked to her left where all the injured challengers were healed by the healing maiden Poryluscia. "Do I really have a chance of winning?", she thought. "Erza? Did you hear me?", asked Mira waving her hands. "Yeah, Yeah"
"Prince Jellal vs Ashito Wisteria!"
The crowd cheered and Erza's heart skipped a beat. "Me?!", she stuttered. She scoffed, "Ashito of all names, really Mira?". "That's me!", she ran towards the dusty battle field the sand arising behind her. She faced the Prince with courage staring boldly ahead. Recalling from what the girls in the village said he was arrogant, cocky and drop dead handsome not to mention talented. "Stuff that I'm gonna win this and i'm not leaving this field till I screw his pretty face", Erza demanded in her head. "He's broken plenty of hearts already!".
"GO!"
Erza wielded her sword from her pouch and ran towards the Prince. She landed an attack but the Prince caught her wrist. He flipped her over but Erza landed gracefully on her feet. The crowd watched anxiously, cheering. After a few attacks Erza lunged towards the Prince. The sand arised and no one in the crowd could see who won. It was intense they all waited for the sand to die down. Inside the sand storm Erza had her left arm on his right wrist and her sword planted inches away from his ear. "I got you now!", she sneered.
Slowly the sand died down and they all saw Erza's victory pose. She had won! "She's done it!",cheered Lucy. "And she didn't blow her cover!".
