Chapter 9: Now what?
January 6, X794
"Okay, now what?" Sting asked us. We all looked at Lucy-nee waiting for an answer.
"We buy the mansion. Renovate it. Start a guild. Arrange with Magic Council to make it official. And my personal favorite, kick Natsu's ass in the Grand Magic Games." She answered as she brought out the pouch mama gave. "Does that answer your question, Stingy bee, or should I say Adriel?" Sting just nodded, a little bit annoyed at his nickname.
"What should we name our guild?" It was my turn to ask. Since no one answered I suggested one "How about Dracorde? Its from the Latin words 'Draco' and 'corde' meaning 'dragon heart'." They all seemed to like it.
"It's perfect Rufus- I mean Dominic" I gave a nod towards Laxus-nii "What about the guild mark?"
"Lax-lax! Lax-lax! Abby-chan has an idea!" Lucy-nee's exceed began to draw a silhouette of a dragon with her chalk magic. For a baby cat, she sure draw well. It's not as good as mine but it was definitely better than Sting(or Lucy-nee, or Laxus-nee, or Rogue or anyone for that matter). He once drew a picture which looked like a standing dog with yellow hair. We never knew what it was until Sting told us that it was Lucy-nee. After that, he couldn't sleep for weeks(Courtesy of nee-chan who smiled at him sadistically, with stage blood dripping out of her exposed, sharp teeth and her eyes glowing a bright red. Any mere human might have been scared to death if they saw her) and decided to never draw again.
"It's perfect Abby!" Lucy-nee fan-girled over her exceed.
"Ne, it's nice Abby, but Sting-kun draws the best!" Lector boasted to which Rogue, Nee-chan, Laxus-nii, and Anabeth glared at him with a murderous aura.
"No! Rufus-kun is the be—"
"Shut it." With that Fred immediately was silenced by Anabeth.
"I'm going to buy the mansion from Junelle corporation, which is on the other side of Acalypha. Laxus-nii you can come. The rest, stay and get to know the lot. Rufus, while you're at it, make designs. Don't wreck anything. When I come back the house should be a lot cleaner." Lucy-nee told us. This is gonna be a way long day.
Timeskip, Junelle Manor, Lucy's POV
"I'm sorry miss but the mansion is not for sale." A tall, skinny man with slick black hair around 26 told us. Rather rudely if may add. This is Victor Edmund Hampshire Richard Martinez Junelle VIII.
"What if we repay my father's debt?" Laxus-nii suggested. I figured that he hated saying it but if it means to help us, then so be it.
"I didn't know Jude had a son." Three actually though Laxus-nii isn't really his son. Victor then leaned towards the large wooden table and made a smug face. Mavis, he's so ugly. I can't believe that I was supposed to marry this guy. "Tell me, how do you propose to pay off his debt?"
"With this." I threw him the pouch. He unraveled it, revealing a lot of dragon diamonds, the most valuable kind of stone in the planet. Each were about as big as my closed knuckle. All in all, it would cost 100 000 000 000 000 J.
The man smirked. "This is not enough. Dragon diamonds aren't enough." That's it. A deadly aura surrounded me as my eyes turn black and patches of dark blue, pink, and purple scales appeared on my skin along with the golden patterns identifying me as Dragon Princess Luciana Marguerite Dreyar of the Stars. I know. It's a very long title. Anyways, my clothes turned to a dragon armor similar to Rogue's and may hair turns a bright pink color with purple streaks. This is my dragon warrior form. A form which a dragon is both on his or her dragon form and human form.
"If I throw in your life, will you let us have the mansion for 300 000 J?"
"Do you think I would sell you the mansion for that cheap price?" He snorted."As if!"
I took a book from the shelf in the wall. "Ooh, Da Vinci Code? You must love this book considering that its cover have twenty-carat diamonds."
"P-put that down." Victor stuttered, gripping the arms of his chair. I burnt the book to ashes using my fire dragon magic. The man looked scared.
"Oops, my bad." I said though I purely intended to burn the book. I sauntered towards the other side of the room and took a vase from it's stand. "What a lovely vase you have, Victor. Too bad, I need to wreck it." I dropped it to the floor where it broke into million pieces. I stepped on it earth covering my feet and boots to protect it from shards. I smiled at him sadistically, showing my perfectly white and sharp set of teeth. "You know? I could do the same thing to your body." Any second now.
"Sold! T-the mansion is yours, Miss Heartfilia. For free! Just spare my life." He cowered with his arms over his head as if like a shield.
"Thanks!" I said as I returned back to normal as my older brother took the bag of diamonds. "One more thing: Don't and I mean don't ever mention the word Heartfilia again in front of me." I said with a cold glare.
Half-way towards the door, Victor called "I'm telling the council!"
I stopped my tracks and turned to give him a glare with my black dragon eyes. "If I were you, I wouldn't dare to tell even to a leaf." I heard him gulp as I turned and walked out of his office with Laxus-nii. My eyes turned back to its original chocolate brown color a few moments later. "Well, that went pretty good, ne?" I asked Laxus as we headed out of the Junelle Manor.
"Yeah, very great." He managed to whisper, staring at the grounds as we walked the stone pavements of the property. Am I that scary? Soon, we arrived at our new home and guild house. As soon as I saw that my main building my jaw drop. Why? Because...
