Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the last chapter. I will be trying to update at least twice every week but it might not always happen.

Disclaimer-I don't own fairy tail.

Previously- My name is Sir Gray Fullbuster.

At this Lucy's head shot up.

"What?" she said, her voice shaking as she tried to take in this piece of information. Thoughts were streaming through her brain as she stepped out of the doorway into the light.

Seeing the man up closer proved the fact that this seemed to actually be Gray, the man she had worked with on multiple missions.

Gray's POV
As the woman stepped out into the light, I felt my cheeks going pink. A lady like her shouldn't be showing nearly this much skin. Only her husband deserved to see her like this. But for some reason she captured my attention. The way she was confident, yet seemingly kind was something I hadn't seen in a girl before. I looked at her again then decided to help her. She obviously wasn't from around here, maybe not even from this time.

Normal POV Gray opened his mouth about to ask Lucy if she wanted help when Lucy beat him to it. "Would you be kind enough to escort and help me adjust to this place?" she blurted out, going red immediately after saying it.

Gray simply nodded, asking her one question in return. "what would your name be?"

Lucy looked slightly surprised and answered quickly, almost forgetting to use the voice she had been practicing to get back from her childhood, her heiress voice. "My name, Sir Gray, is Lucy Heartfillia.

As soon as Gray heard her answer, he took of his cloak and put it around the blonde beauty to cover up her bare skin. He then found himself taking her through the winding hallways of the castle and to his sleeping quarters. Gray was thinking as they approached how lucky it was he had been promoted to captain I the guards a few weeks earlier and had been allowed his own private bed and bathing room.

Lucy, following Gray saw him stop a a moderate sized wooden door. Out of a pocket in his armor he produced an old-looking key, and injected it into the lock. As he turned it, a low, creaking sound emanated* from it.

Lucy followed Gray into the room, looking around. Inside was quite lavish, but very practical.

There were a few tapestries on the stone walls, with bear son carpets on the floor. There was a comfy looking, but simple bed, a small dining table with four chairs, a desk and a large bookshelf. There seemed to be a small bathing area in an adjoining room.

Lucy had a closer look, moving around the room and touching the odd piece of furniture here and there. As she neared a red and gold tapestry however, Gray seemed slightly uncomfortable. Lucy noticed his change in mood but decided not to question him about it.

She turned around and came face to face with an older looking woman. The woman was wearing what Lucy guessed was a maids uniform. The woman smiled at Lucy and a warmth came over her the woman started to speak. "Good morning dear, I am Sir Gray's main maid and one of the only people he truly trusts. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about the clothes you are wearing."

Lucy smiled at the woman and turned to Gray. He just gestured towards the smaller room and told her to change. As Lucy walked into the bathroom, she wondered what she was supposed to change into. Her question was answered when the maid followed her in with a beautiful gown.

The gown was sky-blue with white accents. Beading lined the bodice. As the woman stepped forward with the dress, Lucy decided it was time to ask her name. The woman looked at her, seemingly surprised that someone had asked. "my name is Elizabeth, milady."

After changing, Gray sat Lucy down on the bed and asked her to tell him who she was and why she was here. He already knew that she didn't belong here but he wanted to know more.

"And next to see you, my lord, is Captain of the Guards, Sir Gray Fullbuster and a Lady Lucy Heartfillia."

King Aron looked down from his throne and nodded, gesturing to the guards to let them enter. As the pair reached the throne, Gray bowed immediately, with Lucy, once noticing what he was doing copied him.

The King, if he noticed, didn't remark on this and the two straightened, he spoke out in a loud voice, "What do you want, Sir Gray?"

Gray looked at the king, "I am here requesting that this woman, Lucy Heartfillia be allowed to stay at the palace. She has come from somewhere far away and she wants to learn about our culture. I believe we could learn a lot from her as well."

The king simply nodded and guards escorted them out. One then took Lucy on a quick tour of the castle, and despite her protests, escorted her to her new room. It was beautiful, with lavish carpets and a huge bed. But somehow, she already found herself missing the simplistic feel of Gray's room.

Thank you for reading everyone! I am really enjoying writing this fanfiction! I'd like some advice on whether you want an OC that you guys have submitted to be a best friend of Lucy in the court or to have Elizabeth, who by the way is quite a bit older than Lucy in this fanfiction, as a mother figure that helps her through. Please review or PM me with your answer! Love y'all! :)
