To any of my loyal followers, I know I said I'd wait until my other two main stories were done but I got impatient. Sorry.

To any potential new followers, thank you for bothering to click on this story! Hopefully I can make all you LaLu shippers proud with this one!

This takes place after the Tartarus Arc. Don't think I'll include Alvarez though.

May need help with smut scene. Any takers?

Green eyes narrowed with disdain, flowing through the destructive Neanderthal's known as Fairy Tail. How she could leave the world of wealth and comfort to associate herself with the likes of Fiore's number one most insane guild was beyond him. He'd sooner cut off his right hand then give up is well earned money and lifestyle. Just goes to show that she really was a dumb bimbo.

Zeroing in on his target he swiftly moved through the rowdy bunch, narrowly missing a half dressed man being thrown at him, making his way to the bar where she sat. He took in the strapless crop top and short black shirt in disgust. She certainly looked much different compared to how she use to dress. Clearing his throat he waited for her to turn to face him, brown eyes wide in confusion.

"Yes?" She asked tilting her head to the side like an innocent puppy, regarding the glasses wearing man in a sharp grey suit. "Can I held you? Are you here to see Master?"

"Jacques Bernard," he introduced himself, placing his black briefcase on the bars counter and unlatching the clasps, ignoring her questions all together. He wasn't here for small talk. "I represent the Junelle, and as you may know Mademoiselle, your father betrothed you to the Sir Junelle nine years ago." He began, handing her a stack of papers- the betrothed contract, Lucy noted as she read the title. Bernard continued on without pause, effortlessly switching over to French when a white haired woman neared them from behind the bar, ignoring her offer for drink or food. "You had ran away for a year, disappeared for seven, and its only now, one year later, that we have finally managed to find you. I must say you are a very busy girl. Now, down to business. As stated in this contract, you were to be married to Duke Sawarr, but due to his passing two years ago, his son Edward is the one whom you shall marry-"

"Wait just a minute!" Lucy shouted back to him in French -having learned many languages from her tutors- shooting up to her feet, her shrill voice cutting through the fighting and drawing attention to the two. "I never agreed to this marriage! I refuse to-"

Now it was his turn to cut her off, his glasses flashing dangerously as he pushed them back into place. "I do not take kindly to being cut off mid speech, Miss Heartfilia. I was under the impression that ladies of your standing and upbringing were raised with decorum and manners. I see your time spent here has turned you for the worse. I would think twice before refusing, you may come to regret ever thinking of such."

Lucy's eyes narrowed and both the insult and threat. Who the hell did this guy think he was, insulting her and her guild. "And why would I come to regret rejecting Duke Edward?" She hissed out, her leg muscle's twitching, aching to deliver her most powerful Lucy Kick to date.

A smirk worked its way on to Bernard's pale lips before he turned back to his briefcase, closing it and snapping the clasps back in to place, and pulling out a card from his breast pocket.

"I personally do not know but he said to tell you, he knows someone that will be of great interest to you. Tomorrow night, 7 pm sharp, Riverton's Restaurant. Dress accordingly." He said before leaving as quickly as he came.

Eyes still narrowed Lucy stared at the lawyers back until the guild doors closed behind him, eyes then drifting down to the contract in her hands. She couldn't believe this. Two years -technically nine- and her father's contract to the Junelle's was still haunting her! She had through that part of her life was over and done with. She thought her father had terminated the contract when he realized she wasn't coming back after walking out his office that day.

The bold letters speaking out 'Betrothal Contract' popped out at her. If she didn't know any better she would say there were taunting her.

Fist clenched, not caring that she was ruining the large stack of important papers, she stormed out of the silent guild.

The silence was broken by Natsu who scratched at his head in confusion. "Does anyone know what the heck they were talking about or saying?"

Shrugs and grunts rang out as everyone stared at the doors. They didn't even know Lucy spoke another language. Then again it shouldn't surprise them considering she was an ex-heiress.

"Don't know, but she looked mad. It's to bad Redus isn't here because that sounded like French." Gray said wondering what that man told Lucy to get his sister so mad.

From the second floor Laxus's eyes remained glued on to the guild doors, fighting between feeling arousal at hearing Lucy speak another language so fluently or anger at the man for placing her in a bad mood. After the reinstatement of the guild, Laxus and Lucy had grown close. Lucy helping him with paperwork and making sure he ate and slept. He would be lying if he said he wasn't attracted to the small blonde but he chose not to peruse her. He knew better than to chase after a guild mate. That just lead to problems and he honestly didn't feel like dealing with any awkwardness or anger that would follow should things not work out. He learned that the hard way with Mirajane after he slept with her and then broke it off a week later. His saving grace was Lisanna's 'death' three days later. Had that girl not vanished and changed Mira he was sure she would have killed him.

But that still didn't mean he couldn't be around Lucy as a friend, even if he wanted her as more. Which was why he was torn between his feelings.

Shaking his head he put in his sound pods. She's tell him when she was ready, if she wanted to even talk about it in the first place.

TBC.
