It had been a few months since Earthland's Fairy Tail defeated King Faust and Mystogan became the new king of Edolas. Sadly their supply of magic was no more. Pantherlily had been taken to Earthland, leaving the Knightwalker, Hughes, and Sugarboy as his only captains. Since there wasn't magic anywhere in Edolas the new king had ordered everyone to start over with magic and have the Royal City to be rebuilt.

When the city was finished thanks to the help of Edolas Fairy Tail and the Royal Army, King Jellal had received a letter and looked at it. What he found on the letter that had been given to him, left him in shock.

"There's no way."

He looked at Coco who was in the Throne room with him then he spoke.

"Coco, get the three former captains."

Coco sprinted out of the room and went to the West wing where the three captains were being held in prison.

When all three former captains were brought to the Throne room all three of them looked at Jellal who spoke.

"Alright I just got this letter request from the Yakuma Kingdom. The King wants to meet with me. So I want you three to join me on this quest."

Hughes and Sugarboy seemed to be interested but Erza kept her frown. Hughes was the first to respond.

"So we just have to be your escorts?"

Sugarboy closed his eyes.

"Hmm, what's in it for us?"

"For now you will be out of the Royal Kingdom for the whole quest. You will also be given the choice on whether you want to stay in this Kingdom or not."

Sugarboy and Hughes just simply agreed but Erza never made a sound but she did look away. King Jellal looked at her then he spoke.

"We're leaving at dawn."

With that the former captains left the Throne room and went to separate parts of the castle. Erza was in the Royal garden, she was upset but then again she was always upset. The only thing she ever had that she enjoyed was making people suffer.

"So I just have to go to this Kingdom as an escort for Jellal. So pathetic, but what does he need us for? There's no magic so what's the point of having security?"

Just then she looked over her shoulder to see Coco coming toward her.

"Captain!"

"What is it?"

"Do you know anything about the Yakuma Kingdom?"

"Not too much."

"Want just a more little info?"

"A little."

"They're a Kingdom that lives in a land that's rumored to be next to a demon territory."

"Is that so? Maybe while I'm there I can challenge a demon if I see one."

Coco had then sprinted away but then Erza went to the forest and climbed into a tree. She just sat on a large branch and stared into the sky.

"This escort quest better be worth going to."

With that she fell asleep in the tree.

The next day they headed out of the Royal Kingdom.

When they had arrived to the large palace King Mystogan, his three captains and Coco were standing before the King of Yakuma himself.

To Coco the Yakuma King looked more like a giant. The king was a tall elderly man with a large buff body. He wore olive green pants and a white cloth that he wore that went across his torso. He had long white hait that was put into a long braid and he had a messy beard.

"Greetings new King of the Royal Kingdom."

Mystogan gave a bow as well then spoke.

"Thank you King of Yakuma."

"My daughter will be going with you back to your kingdom for some time. She wishes to stay in your kingdom."

Mystogan was a little confused but he nodded.

"I see. May I ask why so sudden?'

"My daughter wanted to make a deal with your kingdom but she won't share what she has in mind."

"Alright."

Just then a beautiful girl came to them and stood next to her father. She had silk back hair that hung to her lower back and she wore a cream sleeveless dress that hung to her ankles. She green eyes and cream tone skin.

Both Hughes and Sugarboy turned their heads in awkwardness while Mystogan and Coco looked at them. They then saw the King of Yakuma stand and led his daughter to them. The group was surprised that the king had led his daughter to Erza who kept her composer as the king of Yakuma had his daughter to hold Erza's free hand.

"I trust you with my daughter, Captain Knightwalker."

Erza gave a bow.

"I understand, your Highness."

Mystogan was a little nervous. He knew for a fact that Erza was the most dangerous of his three captains but he didn't say anything but Hughes on the other hand did.

"You truet Erza the most out of all of us?"

Minerva looked at him then the king of Yakuma glared at him.

"Out of all of you Knightwalker gave my daughter back to me."

Curiosity came over Mystogan but they all left the Yakuma kingdom. As they were walking back to the Royal kingdom they watched as Erza was simply walking next to the princess who seemed to be happy with Erza. Jellal then had a slight frown on his face when he noticed something on the princess's back.

Scars, but it was clear that the princess wasn't a soldier so how did she get them?

When they arrived to the Royal kingdom Erza led the princess to the chambers that she was going to be staying in.

When they got there Erza turned to leave but the princess stopped her.

"Erza…."

Erza put her spear in a corner then she turned around to look at the princess. Minerva went to her and hugged her.

"It's so good to see you again, erza."

Erza didn't say anything then Minerva let her go. She had turned around but was pulled into an embrace from behind. She was taken back then looked at Erza who had her eyes closed and had her face in her neck.

"So you still have a soft spot for me?"

"Minerva….."

Minerva smiled and turned around to hug Erza again. As they embraced each other Minerva suggested that they take a bath together. Erza didn't comment but she went with Minerva into the large bathroom and they began to bathe.

When they were finished Minerva and erza sat on the bed and Minerva had gotten dressed for bed.

"I don't really want dinner tonight the journey here made me tired."

Erza looked at her. Minerva had her back turned to her and then went to Minerva and stroked her back. Minerva had turned to look at Erza who seemed to be concerned about something.

"Erza, you don't have to worry. They're not hurting me anymore."

Erza put her face into Minerva's back.

"But still it's my fault that you had to suffer through that."

"Not it's not. You were only following orders of the last king."

Erza put her hands on Minerva's shoulders.

"If I hadsaid something sooner you wouldn't have gone through that the way you did."

Minerva could see the hurt in Erza's eyes then she hugged Erza.

"I don't blame you. You were trying to keep me safe. You did sneak me out of the Royal kingdom after all."

Erza looked away then the next thing she knew was Minerva had leaned closer to her and kissed her on the forehead. Erza brought Minerva to her and gently claimed her lips to Mienrva's As they kissed Erza gently pushed Minerva onto her back.

The kiss broke and Minerva smiled at her.

"Still gentle to me."

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Minerva smiled at her.

"Will you stay the night with me? I'm kind of scared about sleeping alone."

Erza nodded.

"Yes, I'll stay with you as long as you want."

They both were in the bed then went to sleep.

The next morning as Minerva was sleeping Erza had went to King Mystogan since he wanted to ask her something.

"you wanted to speak with me?'

"Yes. How do you know the princess?"

"We met during a war. King Faust wanted the Yakuma kingdom because they had unlimited magic just like Earthland while we the Royal kingdom was losing magic. There was also a sickness spreading during the time and the princess was able to use healing magic that was able cure the deadliest sickness there was."

"So what happened?'

Erza looked away.

"it's a long story."

"I want to know. Surely there is a reason why the king of Yakuma allowed you of all people to watch his daughter?"

Erza nodded then began to share.
