Chapter 1

Destiny Divided

The Princess was the ruler of this country while her loyal servant stands next to her. They both became friends ever since they met.

"Now, bow down to me." The princess demanded.

The servant had pink hair as he looked at the princess. He didn't want her to treat that poor innocent peasant. Her name was Lucy Heartfilia. She knew that her loyal servant can grant all of her wishes. But what she doesn't know was that she was very selfish.

"Lucy, you know you can be nicer than that." Natsu said softly.

She heard what he said. She was frustrated that her servant doesn't agree with her.

"Natsu. I'm the princess, your just my servant. Now, back to business." Lucy replied to his 'rude' comment.

He put a little frown as he heard her comment. He just ignored it. He still loves her and wants to protect her, but he hopes that he will seal away her selfishness in a better place. At night, while she was sleeping, he held her hand as he made sure she was okay. He then smiled and went to his room.

"Everything will be better. I'm sure of it." He thought.

The next day, he went out of the castle for once in a lifetime to the neighboring country. As he explored, he made new friends. Maybe even some rivals like the minister which his name is Gray. Natsu had a great time as he explored the country. While he was relaxing under a tree, he saw a rose next to him. He smiled.

Then, when he got back to the castle, he saw the princess crying. He walked over to her to see what's wrong.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

Lucy turned around, then told him why.

"Kill a country that lives right next to us, now." She demanded.

His eyes widened. He didn't want to hurt the neighboring country. It was the most innocent country he had ever visited. But orders are orders. He grabbed a knife and a sword. A royal meeting was going on right now. The princess held a knife as she stabbed it to the place where she wants to destroy. When the neighboring country got attacked, blood was everywhere on Natsu. The kingdom attacked also. Tears of guiltiness never stopped in Natsu's eyes.

"Why does Lucy need to be this selfish?!" He thought.

A few days later, he saw the news about it on the newspaper. He felt too much guiltiness to even talk. Lucy looked in his room. She felt sorry for him. So she just walked away.

"Pfft. I don't care at all now since it's all over. It's just a small country." She thought but with a tear dropping in her eye.

Weeks later, a scarlet-haired lady wanted to start a revolution with all of the townspeople.

"We must punish the princess since she was the one who planned this!" Erza yelled.

Everyone agreed. So then, a revolution started. Lucy was in the castle all panicked.

"Aagh! This is making my castle all poor and dirty now! It's a mess!" She panicked.

All of the kingdom escaped except for the princess and a servant. Then, Natsu walked in the room. He had an idea.

"Lucy, I'll buy you some time. So, run!" Natsu ordered her.

"Run? Where...to..?" She asked curiously.

"Just escape here immediately! Somewhere where we will never see each other again!" He told her again.

Her eyes widened full of tears.

"No! I'm the princess! Everything's here is mine!" She replied rudely as tears burst out.

He made a smile on his face.

"What are you smiling about?!" Lucy asked.

He touched her cheek, as he explained.

"I just want...you to be safe...I'm happy with just that." He replied.

"It'll be alright. Here, lemme put you in disguise." He offered.

He put her under a hood so they wont notice her. She's not in a dress, but in rags. He will take all the blame and accept the punishments that are in stored for him. As he pushed her to the exit of the castle, he walked towards the door. Then, Erza, Wendy, Gray, and all of the townspeople were there.

"Where's the princess?!" Erza asked.

He breathed in deeply, and told a lie.

"It wasn't her fault, she was just trying to stop me. I was the one who told the kingdom to destroy the innocent country. I take full regret." Natsu replied with a tear dropping out.

Then, they took him as the one who's going to be punished. What will his execution be?
