A/N: Sorry for any mistakes. Critics, flames and such are welcome.
Not really my first story, but I hope this will be my first story that I'll be able to status: COMPLETED
Prologue
Brave warrior of the kingdom of Fiore
That is me, Natsu Dragneel. Sadly enough I never passed to be able to fully devote myself in protecting the kingdom I cherish and love the most. I can perfect the physical test in a jiffy but the IQ test will be my greatest obstacle.
With that case I'll just always do my best to whatever work they assigned me to. Hoping that one day they will notice my hard work and my devotion to this field of work and promote me. That's all I ask, nothing more nothing less. But sometimes life gives you things you don't wish for.
I excitedly march towards the throne room. I'm cheering and partying inside of me but of course I maintain my serious front. I don't want to look like an idiot in front of the King and Queen. The throne room was opened by the two soldiers, guarding the door. I admit that I'm nervous specially now that I'm seeing the red carpet that will be leading me towards the King and Queen of the kingdom I'm servicing for the past five years.
Right at the front sat the two of the highest personal on this land. I admire them and same goes as I respect them. The King is not corrupt and had led the kingdom to wealth, while the Queen is the type of Queen you dream of to have. Kind and friendly... too much friendly I must add, that she actually go down the castle unguarded and will join the townsfolk like a normal person.
I stop at the middle of the pathway bowed with outmost respect
"Natsu Dragneel of the squad 39," With that the King stood up with the help of his staff.
"Raise your head, son." I obediently obeyed his orders and raised my head to see them smiling. I waited for his next words but he didn't speak, instead he signaled the people around the throne to leave. The soldiers, the generals and the other people who gather around the place leave the three of us alone which now turn my excitement into confusion and nervous. Confusion if why is it needed to be private and Nervous because he might discover that I'm behind the meat disappearance case in the kitchen of the castle last week.
I was soon taken aback from my train of thoughts when the King spoke once again "First... this conversation must never be known to others," He said this time his smile faded in thin air. His expression turned serious as he walk down the three staircase from the throne. I'm itching to ask if what is it but that will be surely rude if I ask just like that.
"I understand," Is the only thing I thought that won't sound like I disrespect them in some way. I looked at the King and he smile "Very well," He said and with that he looked at his wife, the Queen and nodded. The Queen stood up and walk behind the curtains that are flowing down the throne and as she came back, a little girl is with her and I must take note that the girl look so much like her, they look so alike that I they're like the carbon copy of the other
But again I was pull out of my thoughts when the King spoke suddenly "I bet you never knew that we have a daughter," he said which really shocked me. I look at him, to the Queen and to their so called daughter. My mouth in a gape as my look kept on switching between the three of them. But my eyes certainly stare on the blonde girl longer than the King and Queen. To be precise she's not really a little girl, she's actually look like on her teenage years I just happened to call her a little girl because of the age gap. She might be around nineteen or twenty? And that's what shocked me the most, because the Queen and King actually hide her for all those years!
I only recovered from the shock when the Queen chuckles softly "The exact reaction I'm expecting," She said as she walk with elegance beside the King and hook her arms in the King, their daughter tailing behind.
"Everyone thought that your highness never bear a heir," I said still unbelieving what their sprouting on me. If you're in my place I bet that you'll be acting the same way I do.
"That's what everyone thought of," And the Queen chuckled again. But WAIT! If the Princess is a secret why are they showing her to me?
And as if reading my mind the King spoke the words that made me experience a level of shock I never felt in my twenty three years of existence "I showed her to you because I want you to take care of her,"
