Chapter 2
Gray's POV
I nodded at Natsu as I froze the bars of the prison and broke them apart. The Magic Council had been dumb enough to not lock our powers away.
I broke all the boys' bars and we ran trying to find a way out without being caught.
We ran to the 2nd floor forgetting that the meeting room was up there.
"Princess, is it true?" A guy with blue hair and thick glasses said, he looked like he was going to break down into tears soon.
"It has to be! She's number 1 of the Ten Wizard Saints even though she's not living in Fiore anymore!"Another guy exclaimed.
I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious. I slowly peeked my head inside cautiously to see a giant lacrima showing a blonde with emerald green eyes and long silvery hair. Her face was stoic and she remained calm while the others in the rooms were freaking out.
Huh, so this is our number 1 of Ten Wizard Saints.
I turned around to see Natsu, Lyon, Sting, Rogue, and Laxus were seeing what I saw.
The girl, or rather Princess, and number 1 was beautiful. Her face reminded me of someone... someone... Lucy...
I walked away from the door opening and watched as the others did they same.
Normal POV
Unknown to Gray, they were all thinking the same, she reminded them of Lucy.
They all thought it couldn't be her since Lucy had brown eyes and she would panic so fast you couldn't calm her down, she was also too weak to become number 1 of Fiore.
They all used their magic gloomily leaving the council headquarters.
Lucy's POV
"Lucy... I'm truly sorry..." Mystogan, my step brother, kept apologizing.
It wasn't his fault, we couldn't do anything else.
We had to bring Fairy Tail back to Edolas, and not only Fairy Tail, but all those legal guilds out there in Fiore.
So long, peaceful days.
"Myst, stop. It's not your fault. They won't even remember me anyways, especially my hair and eyes..." My hair had became far too long and it had mostly turned silverish. My eyes glowed emerald green from all the powers inside me.
Myst used to say I looked like AmiAmi from the dating game I caught him playing called, 'Princess Lover! Eternal Love for my lady!' (Picture on cover)
He said I was like her twin sister, and in the end of the game, he actually ended up going on her route, which was weird because it made him look like he had a sister complex.
Step mother, well, mother, had scolded him but laughed it off later saying it's good we were close.
"They'll be here for only a little bit, onee-sama." Keirin, my little sister, said and smiled.
She was the light of the whole royal family. Her light blonde hair was long until her waist and her brown chocolate eyes looked soft and serious at the same time. She always had a smile on her face.
I smiled at Keirin and hugged her, she was my light when I had failed some classes.
Myst stood behind me while I sat in front of the mirror. Myst carefully stroked my hair, he had done that a lot. Since my hair was really really long.
"King Mystogan, Princess Lucine and Princess Keirin, Fiore's guild is here, they are acting violent!" Mitora, our personal guard said as he entered our shared room.
I watched as Keirin smiled and suddenly ran out of the room happily.
"Myst! Get her!" I shouted at my brother as we quickly ran after our sister.
Meanwhile...
Keirin's POV
Ahh! I finally get to meet onee-sama's old friends!
Onee-sama used to cry every night in her sleep. Myst-nii and I were really worried.
She once said in her sleep, 'Stop! Stop it! I hate all of you!' , while crying.
We were really worried, it happened every night on her 1st year here. I was still 8 at that time.
Now I'm a proud 12 year old who can comfort the whole family, I smirked to myself.
Maybe the people here today hurt my onee-sama. We'll just have to see.
I heard commotion from the 1st floor and sighed, why were they so loud?
A guard saw me and nodded.
"Please now pay respect to our youngest princess!" The guard shouted as I stood on the second floor looking at everyone on the 1st floor.
They looked back with shock on their face.
"L... Lucy?"
Gray's POV
"L... Lucy?" A girl with long blonde hair and chocolate brown hair looked down at us.
"Huh? Whatttttttt?" She giggled.
Shit, she really looks like Lucy, could she be... no... Lucy's dead, Gray! Stop it!
"Are you Lucy?! Did your age get reversed?!" Natsu shouted pointing at the girl.
"Huh?! My name is Keirin! Hmph." The girl pouted.
Erza hit Natsu in the head for disrespecting the princess.
"Keirin! What're you-!" Another girl appeared.
She was the girl we saw earlier today.
Princess... Lu... Lucine!
Wow she was hot...wait! Stop Gray! You only love Lucy...
She stopped half way in her sentence once her eyes landed on us.
Her face was filled with horror for a minute, but suddenly became stoic... weird.
I sensed very very strong magic from her, it even felt like she was eating my magic away too. I looked at everyone and it seemed like they thought the same thing.
I thought Edolas had no source of magic...
From the first floor, her emerald green eyes gleamed.
She looked away.
"Lu-!" Mystogan suddenly appeared pulling the Princess into a hug.
Princess Lucine still had a stoic look on her face when Mystogan was hugging her.
"Hey! Why're we here?!" Laxus shouted causing commotion again.
"Everyone, shut up!" Princess Lucine suddenly shouted breaking away from Mystogan's grip.
Everyone turned their attention to the enraged princess.
"Finally... Firstly, you were brought here by the anima King Mystogan summoned. Secondly, you are all here for a reason! Please pay your respect towards the royal kingdom and family! Thirdly, I'm Lucine. The magic you sense currently isn't a threat. Please relax." Princess Lucine said, confident and stoic as ever. Her voice... reminded me of Lucy...
Her eyes gazed around the whole room and landed on mine. I blushed, she did the same and turned away back to the audience.
Wait... she blushed?
I blushed harder, I couldn't, I'm sorry Lucy...
This girl... were you born into her soul?
Somehow her eyes showed signs of pain, love, regrets, in them, just like Lucy's eyes.
She whispered something into Mystogan's ear blushing, Mystogan looked at her for a while and nodded.
The princess ran back behind the curtain of the 2nd floor.
I sighed, she was beautiful. She was everything Lucy was. I can't. I can't replace her with Lucy.
Mystogan kept talking about Zeref's devils going to attack us in Fiore. I couldn't pay attention.
I looked over at Natsu, who also couldn't concentrate.
'Gray... I'm sorry.' I heard Lucy's voice ring in my head. My eyes widened.
Was it telepathy? Was Lucy not dead? Or was it just a distant memory?
I looked down at my foot, nervous and sad.
TIMESKIP
I was walking around Edolas, a lot had changed since then.
It was around 3 in the evening. Everyone was resting from the tiring day.
The cool wind blew and kids starting running out of a big building.
A school huh...
"Gray...?" A familiar voice called out, Lucy...
I whipped my face towards the voice to see Princess Lucine in a school uniform, holding a bunch of books and folders in her arms.
I couldn't say anything. I had only saw her in her princess wear with a silver crown on top. Now I saw her in a short plaited school skirt, white long sleeves, a necktie, and a suit on top. Her hair was tied into a pony tail.
Her face... it screamed Lucy.
"Lucy...!" Her name slipped out out of my mouth as my eyes widened.
She looked at me with pity... pity?
"Princess! Hello!" A couple of teens came running our way and waved at the princess.
"Hello!" The princess turned to wave to them and turned her attention back to me.
"I... have to go, Gray-san. Pleaese enjoy your stay." Princess Lucine smiled softly and turned to walk away but I grabbed her wrist.
Oh shit, I did it now.
"I- um! Sorry, princess." I let her go and looked at the floor, ashamed. I hear her giggle and I raised my head up to look at her.
"Just call my Lucine." She smiled and left.
I stood there in the middle of the street, blushing as the wind blew and kids were running around everywhere.
It was extremely weird, how this one girl, could have this much effect on me, just like Lucy did.
