Author's notes: I honestly don't know as to how to go about this site yet. Sorry for being such a noob. This is, in fact, the first story I've ever uploaded. Thanks to my cousin who told me to upload this here. Hopefully I'll get some reviews. Also, thank you so much for Rinny-Senpai 32 for the first ever review.
I think it's high time I did the disclaimer here. I do not own Fairy Tail and Romeo and Juliet nor do I wish to make money out of this. This story is merely a product of my otherwise exaggerated imagination and utter boredom. It is thrust out into the world for criticism. I'm just starting out on the plot but I do already have the outline as to how the story will go about and how it will end. Nevertheless I will still rely on the magic of imaginings to guide me through making this first story of a couple my cousin (sole purpose as to why I am writing this) ships.
This is dedicated to my cousin, Giullia, who inspired me to write of such a beautiful (and tragic) love story.
CHAPTER 2. THE FAMILY BANQUET.
Juvia walked in, her blue gown, swishing about on her ankles; her ladies following behind her. They stopped at the door of the dining hall as Juvia continued to where her parents were. The king and queen were already seated at the large oak table. She stood in between them and curtsied. "Your Majesties", she said calmly, taking her father's hand and kissing the ring on her father's hand and kissing her mother's cheek.
"My darling daughter!" her father bid, he stood up and opened his arms. Juvia stepped in and hugged her father. She moved back and sat at the other chair across her mother.
After the entrees were the first meals. Juvia poked at her steak and decided to go upfront about it. "Father, Mother, I would like to ask you a question". The king and queen raised their heads and looked at their only daughter. Juvia decided to continue, "I would really want to know what has been bothering the both of you that you have lacked sleep these past days".
Her parents looked at each other and a look of concern flashed their faces. "Who has told you that, my dear daughter?" her father sweetly said as her mother gave her a sad smile. This time, Juvia knows something is wrong.
"Who?!" the king demanded. Juvia looked up at him; her mother placed a hand over his.
"Juvia, we wish to discuss matters like this when you are of age. But I want you to know, my darling that you need not concern yourself with this". She looked at the king and he nodded.
"This matter does not include you but I do encourage you to be extremely cautious on your trips outside the kingdom. Do not speak of this again. We will tell you when you are ready. Understood?" her father curtly said.
"Yes, father." Juvia replied and stood up. "I apologize for my inquiry with regard to this matter, Your Majesties. May I be excused to go to my chambers?"
"You are excused and your mother would like to dine with you tomorrow as I will be leaving at the break of dawn".
"But of course", Juvia replied as she turned and made her way back to her room, her ladies following her.
When Juvia left, the king called upon his right hand man and asked for the guards to come. "I would like you to keep a close eye on the palace grounds at night. Make sure to not let anyone enter in my absence". The head guard acknowledged with a bow. The king turned to face his wife. "Beloved, I take it you will watch over our darling daughter once I leave?"
"Of course, Your Majesty." The queen replied. "Please take extra care of yourself in MY absence as well, my love." the queen gripped her lover's hand.
The king smiled gravely. "Wait for me. I promise I will not let any harm befall on my family…even if it means to kill me". He stared at his wife lovingly. She looked sadly back, fighting the tears. They both kissed and the queen felt her tears fall helplessly down her face.
