Saying Juvia was ecstatic would be putting it lightly, she was so happy that she was practically dizzy with euphoria. Tomorrow was the day of her wedding to the love of her life Gray Fullbuster. She had fantasized quite a lot of times how her Gray-sama would propose to her..**
He would gaze at her with eyes filled with love, get down on one knee holding a large bouquet of flowers and say, in his deep husky voice "Forgive me Juvia, for not noticing your wonderful personality and your breathtaking beauty before. But now that I have become aware of it, I cannot ignore my heart's desire any longer. Marry me Juvia, and be mine forever!" "Ohh Gray-sama! Juvia cannot contain her happiness any longer. Juvia would love to become Gray-sama's wife!"
Her fantasy's proposal use to always run along these lines. But in reality, it was far from it. A few weeks ago, a messenger from the North Kingdom had to come to her palace, and presented before the King (her uncle) a letter stating that the crown prince of the North Kingdom, Gray Fullbuster would like to take the princess of Phantom Lord as his bride. While it was not the proposal of her dreams, Juvia was still delighted. She was expecting her uncle to oppose the idea; as it was a quite well known fact that Jose wasn't fond of the North Kingdom. She was all prepared to argue, if found necessary but surprisingly her uncle agreed to the proposal, almost immediately. She didn't know whether to be happy or doubtful, but soon forgot about it as her handmaidens took her away from the main hall to start preparing for the wedding.
And here she was, the night before her wedding, leaning on the railing of her balcony gazing at the stars, with a grin that could rival Cheshire cat's.
"Hey Ameonna! Give your jaw a rest will ya? You haven't stopped grinning from the day you got the proposal." Juvia giggled upon hearing her elder brother's statement, though he may act all tough and macho he was a huge softie inside and this was his way of interacting.
"Let Juvia have her moment, Gajeel-kun, it's not everyday that the love of your life proposes to you."
"I know, and it's quite rare to see our uncle so quick to give a positive response to one of his biggest rivals. Which got me thinking, why exactly would he agree to the proposal, when it's so obvious that he despises King Silver.."
Both Gajeel and Juvia have always been wary of Uncle Jose, after the murder of their parents when they just little kids. While the subjects thought he was being benevolent by adopting the kids as his own, both Juvia and Gajeel were aware that he was just using them to win the favor of the kingdom. He never treated them with an ounce of affection. Gajeel suspects that he's the one behind the murder of their parents.
As Juvia opened her mouth to respond to him, but Gajeel held up his hand signaling that he hadn't finished talking. "So I did a bit of snooping around, and I found out that the only reason Jose was so quick to agree to the proposal, was because he expects you to spy on the North Kingdom, and give him all the details, so that accordingly he can produce the perfect plan to eliminate the North Kingdom."
Juvia gasped "Juvia would never do that. She loves Gray-sama, she would never betray him like that!" Gajeel nodded, "Yeah I know and I won't let him go forward with that plan either. I'm not going to let that bastard make my sister a widow."
Juvia could feel her eyes stinging, as tears began filling them up. Gajeel looked at her with a shocked expression " Hey! Hey! Don't go bringing those damn waterworks, I can't handle that!" Juvia shook her head, laughing as she went and hugged him.
"Juvia loves Gajeel-kun very much and she will miss him a lot when she goes to North Kingdom." Gajeel awkwardly returned the hug, patting her back; he was never good when it came to displays of affection, but he replied "I know Ameonna, me too.."
