Chapter 1 - Prologue
~Lucy's P.O.V~
In Kanai Villiage in the Kingdom of Fiore, the stroy of my life begins here -
"I'm going to deliver the flowers now. grandma!" I said.
"Alright you be careful now!" Grandma replied back to me.
"I will! Here we go.."
I need to take these flowers to Miel's tarvern...
"Hi, Lucy! May I come play at the flower shop today?" A girl asks me.
"Sure. Why don't you come around 2:00?" I replied back to the girl.
"Yaaay! All right! Oh! Natsu wants you to buy him some sweet rolls on the way home!" The girl says.
"Okay. Tell him I will, and to be patient!"
"I will!" The girl says.
"Good afternoon! I have a flower delievery for you." I say to Miel.
"Oh, Lucy! Thanks for always going out of your way." Miel says to me.
"You're welcome! It's my job, after all!"
SLAM!
"Did you hear Miel? The king has collapsed at the castle!" The innkeeper says to Miel.
"What!? Really!?" Miel replies back to the innkeeper surprsingly.
The sudden news spreads throughout the tarvern. It seems there are some customers who have already heard.
"Yeah, One of the men staying at my place says the king has gotten very thin." The innkeeper says.
"What? I heard he got really fat!" One the customer says.
"Those stories completely contradict each other!" I say.
"Don't blame me! No one in this village has ever even seen the king!" The innkeeper says back to me.
Thats true... Most of us in this little country villiage will go our entire lives without ever seeing the king... I wonder what he's like... I have some extra time today. Maybe I'll stop by the library on the way home and read about him.
"Oh, but first I should buy Natsu his bread.." I say to myself.
"Hello" I say to the baker.
"Oh, Welcome! We have some new sweet buns in today from a town called Jukushin!" The baker says.
"Really!?"
"It's not filled with the regular red bean paste. It has sweet potato inside!" The baker tells me.
"Wow. I've never heard of that..." I said.
Natsu loves sweet rolls with red bean paste, but I bet he's never had this kind before!
"May I have 2 of them, please?" I ask the baker.
"Coming, right up" The baker replies.
After I finish shopping. I decide to take a shortcut to the library. Which is located on the outskirts of the village. The unpaved path is dim and gloomy even in the afternoon. If only the library was closer. I could go there more often... but it's rather far away...
"Grrrrr!"
What was that sound...? I look up in surprise to find myself completely surrounded by wild dogs. The dogs look ferocious, with slobber dripping from their mouths, and glinting red eyes... W- What should I do? Could they be after the bread?
"I need to hurry and get rid of it!" I say to myself.
But suddenly, the wild dogs zero in on their target and all rush to attack me at once!
"Kyaaah!" I scream
Just then. I hear the neigh of a horse, and a man wearing a splendid cloak blocks me from the wild dogs!
"What is a pack of wild dogs doing here..? You don't belong here. Go back into the mountains. Now. Good dogs." The gentleman says.
"Howwwl..." The wild dogs howled.
Intimidated by the man's stern voice the wild dogs run off and disappear into the forest.
"Are you all right, Miliady? Are you hurt?" The gentleman asks me.
"N-No, I'm fine." I say back to him.
"Very good. You cannot let your guard down with dogs, or you shall risk getting gravely injured." He says.
A gentle smile appears on his elegant face. Oh my... he's like a prince i read about in fairy tales as a child...
"Oh, that crest... Are you a knight from the palace?" I ask him.
"Yes. You're very knowledgeable." He says.
"Oh! I saw it in a book once... Thank you so much for saving me." I say.
How could I thank him?
"Please take this flower..." I offer the flower to him.
"This.. I never expected to recieve such a beautiful flower. Thank you for your kindness." He says to me while taking the flower.
The knight smiles graciously and pins the flower I gave him to his cloak.
"What are you doing? Let's get out of here. Sting! I'll be done with the first chapter by the time you're finished!"
"I'm sorry I kept you waiting. Rouge." Sting says to the other guy name Rouge.
Oh! He's wearing a crest too... That must mean he's a knight as well...
"...What are you staring at?" Rouge says sounding a bit annoyed.
"Oh, pardon m-" I say.
Before I can finish speaking the knight called Rouge points a gun at me! What!? Is he going to shoot me?
BAAANG
A sharp splitting sound rings out and the remaining wild dogs let out a scream.
"Did you shoot them!?" Sting asked Rouge.
"Of course not. Just wanted to scare them. See? They're running away. If you're gonna get rid of wild dogs you gotta do it right Sting." Shion says.
"You're right. Forgive me. I owe you." Sting says to Rouge.
"Excuse me... Thank you too. Sir... please accept this flow." I say to Rouge.
"It's not a big deal. You don't have to thank me." Rouge says
"Come now Rouge. The lady is trying to be kind. Accept it graciously." Sting says to Rouge.
"...Thanks..." Rouge says to me emotionlessly and taking the flower.
The knight accepts my flower with an annoyed look on his face.
"The dogs might come back again, so please be careful. You should only take well - travelled paths that beasts would avoid." Sting tells me.
"Yes. I will! Thank you very much." I say to Sting.
I bow my head deeply and the knights .. That's the first time I've ever met real knights. They're so dignified...Completely different from normal people! ...Hm? Something fell... It's a coin... with a crest I've never seen before. This is were the dogs were wondering around before, wasn't it? This coin and those wild dogs...I wonder if they're connected somehow...
"Natsu! The most amazing thing just happened to me!" I say my friend Natsu.
"You can tell me after I get my lunch." Natsu says.
"Sorry, sorry. Here you go." I handed Natsu his lunch.
"...What is this? It doesn't look like my usual sweet rolls with bean paste." Natsu said.
"It's a new kind of bun with sweet potato inside. Can you believe it?"
"Hmm... So? What happened?" Natsu asks me.
"You'll never believe it! Just a little while ago I saw REAL knights from the castle!" I say happily.
"What..?" Natsu says surprised by what I just told him.
"And not just one of them, but 2 of them! Its the first time I've ever seen a knight. They were so cool. It's unusual to see them out her in the country isn't it?" I tell Natsu
"..."
"...Hey, Are you listening to me. Natsu?" I saw when no respond came from him.
"When did you see the knights?" Natsu suddenly asks.
"Mm.. Before I went to the library. So about an hour ago.. Maybe." I answered him.
"So they finally came... I didn't expect it so soon." Natsu says quietly.
"Hm? What are you talking about?" I ask Natsu.
Suddenly we hear the sound of a woman screaming outside.
"What was that?" I asked out in surprise.
"Idiot! Stay inside!" Natsu says to me, when I was about to get up from my seat.
SLAM!
Natsu went outside to check.
"..."
W-Who are these people...? A group of creepy men dressed in black robes suddenly enter the blacksmith shop.
"Are you Lucy?" One of creepy man in a black robe asked me.
How do they know my name?
"...Must be" Another one of them spoke up.
"All right. Come with us." The black robed man said to me.
"But.." I say to them.
One of them tries to grab my arm when suddenly Natsu picks up a sword nearby and stands between me and the men in black!
"What... Natsu?" I say to Natsu.
"I'll buy some time. Run away." Natsu says me to me.
"But.."
"Go on! I can't let them take you!" Natsu says to me.
"O - Okay..."
At Natsu's urging I open the back door and run out of the blacksmith shop.
*Pant.. pant..* W-Who are those people!? And how did they know my name?
"Found you." The robed man says.
"Aah!" I scream.
"We've been searching for you everywhere and here you are in this little village." The robe man says to me.
"S-Stay away from me!" I yell at him.
T-this isn't a joke... I can't let him get me! I quickly took out the remaining bun from my bag and throw it at him, but..
"Ridiculous.. You think you can attack me with that?" The robed man says.
"O-Opps..." I say quietly.
Just then. I notice a crest on the man's robe. Thats the dame crest that was on the coin I found. Do these men have something to do with those wild dogs? The man in black takes a bite of the bun and tosses it into the air. Suddenly...
SHOOMP!
An arrow pierces the bun, and it falls to the ground!
"W-Who's there?" The robed man asks.
"Over here. Silly."
Oh! Up in the tree!
"Ah-ah, Don't move, because if you do I'll shoot you right between the eyes." The man with the bow and arrow says.
"B-Bastard.." Says the robed man.
"I told you to stop. You must not value your own life. Well? Next? shall I shoot your head to let some air into it? or should we out it off for another day?" The archer says to the robed man.
"D-Damn it.." The robed man says.
Irritated the man curses and runs off.
"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" The archer asks me.
"N-No. I'm fine. Thank you for saving me." I say to the archer.
"...Hm..." The archer suddenly says.
He grabs my chin.
"T-That hurts.." I say to him when he grabs my chin.
"...That's it?" He says.
"?" I look at him confused.
"Is that all the thanks I get? I was expecting more..." He says to me.
"I-I can give you a flower from my family's shop." I replied to him.
"That's not what I mean. I'm talking about the kind of thanks a woman can gve." He says.
"Gray. Stop wasting time with nonsense."
Hm? Who is it now?
"Aaahhh!" I suddenly screamed.
Why am I being picked up like a piece of luggage!?
"Get on your horse. Gray, We're going to see Lady Mavis." Says the scary man carrying me.
"Yes. Commander Rufus." Gray says to the scary man named Rufus.
Are these men knights from the castle as well?
"E-Excuse me!" I say to Rufus.
"..."
"A-Are you going to put me down?" I ask Rufus.
"...Pardon me." Rufus finally says.
The knight called Rufus finally lowers me onto the horse's back.
"It might be uncomfortable to ride this way, but please bear with it. This is the safest place for you." Rufus says.
"...I understand." I respond to what Rufus had just said.
He's really intense, but doesn't seem like a bad person.
"...Is something wrong?" Rufus asked me.
"N-No..." I answered him.
The look in his eyes is just a little scary. The knights attack the mysterious group of men in black and they all run away.
~Back at the Village~
"Lucy!" Grandma says.
"Grandma!" I say.
"I was so worried! Are you all right? You must've been so scared!" Grandma says with worry in her voice.
"It was so scary... a group of strange men in black tried to attack me, but these knights saved me." I say to grandma of what just happened.
"It's been a long time. Lady Mavis." Rufus says. (Notice - I know Mavis in not old looking, but I just thought since Mavis is a spirit and has already been dead, so she could've been old before)
"... Is it you, Rufus?" Grandma asks the man called Rufus.
"Yes.." He responds back to grandma.
"It has been a long time.. You've gotten so big and you look so much like your father." Grandma says to Rufus.
"..."
"...Grandma, Do you know this man?" I asked.
"Yes, from long, long ago.." She answers me.
"Pardon me, Commander Rufus. All the invaders have retreated." Sting says when he suddenly came by with Rouge as well.
"Oh.." Sting says looking at me.
"You..." Rouge says also looking at me.
Those are the knights who saved me from the wild dogs!
"Thank you again." I say once again to Sting and Rouge.
"It looks like you have saved me a second time." I saw to Sting and Rouge.
"P-Please, there's no need to thank me. By chance is your name Lucy milady?" Sting asks me suddenly.
"What? How did you know?" I asked Sting surprise by him knowing my name.
"You're joking right. No matter how you look at her she's just some country girl!" Rouge says looking at me surprised as well.
"You think so too Rouge?" Gray says to Rouge.
"Yep, So is this one a fake then?" Rouge says.
"No, it's her. Without a doubt." Natsu suddenly came and answers Gray and Rouge.
"Natsu!" I called out to him.
"I've been by her side this whole time. I guarantee it's Lucy." Natsu says to everyone.
"Guarantee what? Natsu. What is everyone talking about..?" I asked Natsu still confused on what's happening.
Suddenly Natsu puts on the cloak he's been carrying with a whoosh.
"Huh? Natsu, that crest on your cloak..." I say while looking at Natsu.
"That's all of us, then." Rufus suddenly spoke up.
Hearing Rufus say this everyone, including Natsu, kneels before me.
" Please forgive us for being so rude.. heir to the throne of Fiore Kingdom. Princess Lucy." Rufus suddenly says.
"What?" I said out of surprise and confusion.
Princess Lucy? Heir to the throne!?
"E-Excuse me.." I say to everyone.
"By order of the king of Fiore, we have come for Your Royal Highness." Says Rufus.
"W-What are you talking about? G-Grandma, what is this all about?" I asked turning to grandma still fill with confusion in me.
"Lucy... No. Princess Lucy. Just as Rufus says you are the only princess of Fiore." Grandma says to me.
"What!?" I say still surprise.
First a bunch of knights show up and now I'm a princess!?
"Because of certain circumstances, you were raised in this village in secret. The only people who know this are me, your we nurse, and a group of knights." Grandma explains to me.
"Wait, you mean you're not really my grandma!?" I asked grandma.
"I'm sorry I had to hide this from you for so long, but I came with you to this village so I could raise you." Grandma says to me.
Grandma was really my wet nurse. I-I can't believe it. I'm so confused...
"Princess.. Are you aware that the King has collapased? Rufus suddenly asked me.
"Yes... The rumor has been going around town." I replied to Rufus.
"The country is beggning to fall into unrest, because of this and there are those who would threaten the country. The men clothed in black belong to the group." Rufus says explains to me.
"B-But why are you here?" I ask Rufus.
"The King has dispatched us to protect you from any danger that may come your way. Our duty is to guard you and escort you to the palace." Rufus says.
"T-That's..." I say unable to finish my sentence.
"Lucy... What knight Commander says is true. A dark shadow has begun to fall on this country." Natsu says to me.
"Those that will do us harm shall stop at nothing if they knew the King has collapsed and learn of the "Princess" existence." Rouge says.
"I'm not surprised. Dangerous people like those men in black are already starting to attack. Gray says.
"I apologize for bringing this upon Your Royal Highness so suddenly. We shall explain everything on the way to the palace. Will you come with us milady?" Sting suddenly says to me.
"I-I don't know what to say.." I said to Sting.
"First you must choose one of us to be your personal guard. He shall protect you on the way to the palace and never leave your side." Rufus says to me.
Who will be your knight in shining armor?
So what you guys think?
