BBBBOOOOOMMMM

"Hey what's that sound!?" a man said

"It came from over here!" another man said

"Hurry up and find him!" the third man said

"Dispose of the second prince" the first man said

Meanwhile Lucy and the second prince Sting were hiding and rustling through the forest

"You are amazing Lucy it looks like we lost them" Sting praised her

"Erza is luring them away to the other side this should at least buy us some time" Lucy explained

Sting chuckled "your enjoying this aren't you?" Lucy asked

"Of course being able to enjoy yourself no matter what the situation make life more worthwhile don't you think?" Sting smiled

'Yeah this is the person he is'

Suddenly they heard a rustle and out came a girl with short white hair she was wearing a black and white long sleeved maids dress (A/N I will post a picture of the girls maid outfits)

"Prince Sting! Head Maid. I'm so glad you're safe I have secured escape route" the maid put her hand behind her back "here please hurry" suddenly she pulled out a knife and

*WHISK*

*STAB*

And the brown haired girl fell to the ground

"The spy?" Sting asked

"I expected so" Lucy answered

"Fascinating! The plan this time looks more complex than usual" Sting laughed "I wonder who the person who had a hand in this is"

Meanwhile

A dark figure wearing a cloak climbed up the stairs of a tower

*swish* went his cloak as it blew in the wind

"Something similar happened last time right? It was you who also saved me" Sting stated

While they were hiding behind the bushes

"Which last time are you referring to my prince, I have lost count on the attempts on your life" Lucy said while wiping down her blade

"Don't be coy you know what I'm referring to" Sting grabbed a piece of Lucy's long blonde hair "the day you swore your loyalty to me"

Lucy was passed out in a castle hallway with Sting by her side tugging on her hair

"Ow…Ow ….OUCH!...I SAID THAT HURTS!" Lucy yelled

"Oh. You're finally awake. Your hair is just so easy to pull" Sting smiled "I like it's so unattractive"

'This prince is so carefree'

"Prince Sting! Why are you still her?!" Lucy just realized

"Why you ask?"

"PLEASE RUN AWAY FROM HERE NOW!" Lucy exclaimed

"Why do I have to run" Sting asked

"Why you ask..." Lucy looked shocked

'I'm sure I heard it before I blanked out' Lucy tried to remember ' a man had said "I will go and call for a doctor, Prince Sting please stay here" leaving the prince to me who is alone and already injured something's not right… if that servant was a spy. I'm sure he went to call his comrades to assassinate this man'

Sting looked at Lucy confused

"This is bad"

'This is not the time to be playing dead'

Lucy tried to stand up

'The only one who can protect this man right now is….'

"Ooh, you've finally stood up I'm glad" Sting smiled

'This prince is on the verge of being assassinated and yet… I have to hurry and let him escape at least. But how do I explain the situation to him'

"I'm happy I get to meet someone like you before I die"

Lucy snapped her head behind her to look at the second prince

"Its lonely being just by yourself when you die you see so stay awake the way you are now for some more time would you?" Sting asked

'Prince Sting'

"Prince Sting right now I don't possess the skills to protect you so please stay away from, here!"

"No way I'm not leaving you" the Prince said stubbornly

"Are you giving up!" Lucy shouted

"Of course not. I just don't want to leave you sense I'm safer with you"

"Even if I run away if the friends that I ask help from turn out to be actually be enemies… a possible scenario don't you think? Because I'm horrible at figuring who will betray me"

Lucy turned to him

"But you are an ally. You are on the verge of death for my sake. Knowing that you are an ally, don't you think it is safer for me to stay by your side? To me who have always distrusted people. Being able to have you who is an ally for certain by my side is very reassuring"

'He is a prince. Assassinations, Conspiracies. He has known the dark side of politic since he was born. His outside appearance is of someone who has had a good upbringing bur inside he is warped. Paranoid. He never shows his true self to anyone'

"I'm facing a life or death crisis right now but that is precisely why you who are trying to stand up for me here … is the only one I can believe in "Sting took a strand of Lucy long hip length blonde hair and gave it a kiss

Lucy was silent for a few moments before responding "very well let's escape together from here" Lucy held out her hand

"Sure. I thought you would say that" sting took her hand and she pulled him with her as she ran through the castle hallways

'It's safer to stay by my side huh….Being told that I'll have to fulfill his expectations.'

"You are a guard… so as a guard you have to protect your master until you die" Prince Sting said

"I absolutely agree" Lucy smiled a small smile

'Just like a prince... a prince in evry aspect'

"Say Lucy how about becoming my property after we escape from here? Won't you …. Become my pawn?" Sting asked Lucy with a smile

"Scouting me at a time like this? You are too composed!"

"Composed? Really? Certainly the reason why I don't feel scared is because I have you with me" sting chuckled "from now on you will only think of me. Work for me. And die for me… only think of me…and die for me... be Mine Lucy"

'The one able to protect this man right now is only me' Lucy's eyes turned a shade darker

As they turned down another hallway there were enemy's waiting for them Lucy took out her whip from her secret pocket in her apron "yes my master"

'I will protect him' and with that last thought she started defeating the enemies
