The years seemed to just fly by in the Kingdom of Faries. Peace and prosperity was throughout the kingdom't land and the the people of the kingdom couldn't of been happier. Especially since they now had a young princess in there midsts.

The once pretty much bald baby, Erza has grown into a cheerful and sweet young child. Her eyes sparckled like her fathers whenever she smiled at people and her hair shined brightly in the sunlight. Much to her parents amazement at the beautiful color. Never had they thought that there daughter would grow up to be so beautiful.

Erza was only eight, almost nine though. So the parents knew that she was going to be even more beautiful when she grew up. Suitors would be lining up soon, asking for her hand in marriage in a few years. Although, Erza's father King Tybalt was against that idea, he didn't want his little angel to be sought after. So, to his power, he looked into betrothal for his little girl. Thinking that he'd be better at picking her future husband then what she'd be able to pick for herself. He looked to fellow royal families in the kingdom to other kingdoms, but he felt like none of them were good enough for his little angel.

The little princess was his pride and joy after all. An it wasn't til his wife reminded him that she was just a little kid, that the king got an idea. He was going to invite the few chosen princes and noble boys that were around Erza's age, that he thought would be a good match for her. After all, it was for her future so he might as well let her have a small part in picking her future husband. Even if she didn't quite fully understand what he was doing for her.

An so, the king sent out invites for the party to a few of his closest friends, as well as to a few he would like to form a treaty with in the future. Tybalt knew that he was being a little risky letting a few who he should be suspecting as enemies into the party, but he was also going to be holding a meeting with the other country rulers at the same time as the little party. So, in his mind, things should be well.

A few weeks later, the party was being readied for. Servents were bringing in flowers, decorations were being hung and a few things to entertain the young ones was also being set up as well. The King and Queen were making sure nothing was amist from this special occasion.

The young princess, dressed in an adorable white dress that had little pink flowers on the bottom, twirled in her dress. A bright smile on her face, she stopped twirling as she heard her mother chuckle. "Erza, you look adorable in that dress." She said as she walked over and hugged her daughter, then fixed her short hair. "Thank you mommy." Young Erza said as she smiled up at her mother.

Eliza was about to say more, but stopped as a maid knocked and then entered the young princess' room. She bowed towards the queen and princess before she spoke. "The young princess' guests are starting to arrive." A huge smile broke out on Erza's face as she looked up at her mother. "There coming!" She said exitedly, this will be the first time she's met others her age. Well, besides Prince Simon since his father was her father's best friend.

"Then why don't you go and greet them?" Eliza said as she stood to her full height. She motioned for the maid to leave before she looked down at her daughter. "Remember Erza, stand straight and be polite." The queen reminded the little girl before she took her hand and started to lead her towards the ball room, where the adult party was going to be. It was where she was to be introduced to everyone, and then the kids were to be moved to a more kid friendly zone.


The young Prince of Heaven sat quietly in his seat. He knew better then to annoy his father, since his temper at times like this was pretty short. Brown eyes glances towards his father, to make sure the scary king wasn't glaring at him, then quickly advert away.

"Remember what I told you Jellal." Zaref said as he changed his thoughts from his plan to the little bastard he unfortunatly brought into this world. He still had a strong hatred towards the little boy, even though it's been years since the tragic passing of the late queen. It still felt like only yesterday to the aging King. "Be polite, and try to get as much as the little Princess' attention as possible. Make her think you want to be her friend. You are the one who is suppose to be chosen to marry her, not any of the other dim witted, sleeze balls that are there." Zaref scowled at the thought of having to let Jellal do his part of the plan, he just hoped the little brat doesn't screw up, or else he'd be forced to change things up.

"Yes, sir." Jellal said quietly and politely, his brown eyes glancing at his father then down at the ground. "I understand."

The magic automobile that the king and prince was in stopped, an soon the doors opened. The young Prince and the King of Heaven stepped out and looked up towards the castle of Faries. It was so light and unlike the once that the young Prince lived in. "Let's go." Zaref said as he lead his son towards the doors to the castle, not really caring to take in the sight of the castle.

Jellal, was awestruck by the big castle, but forced his eyes away. He really didn't want to anger his father and quickly rushed after him, his brown eyes every now and then glancing around as they entered the new place.
