For two days Erza sat in her prison cell with her head down. She kept thinking about Minerva and just hoped that she was going to be alright.
She soon heard the door to her cell open then she heard the gruff voice of the Yakuma king.
"I'll give you the chance to see my daughter."
They both left the prison chamber then went to Minerva's room. When they got there Erza's eyes landed to a figure laying in the bed and standing next to the bed was the female demon that took Minerva away a couple days before.
The female demon had green hair that hung to hung to her lower back and she had blue eyes. For hands she had talon claws and for feet she had bird feet. She wore a cream loin cloth and wore a cream poncho that covered her breasts.
She looked at them then spoke.
"So this is the one who brought her back?"
Erza took a step forward.
"How is she?"
The demon smirked.
"She's alive but she's in a coma. Had you not brought her when you did she wouldn't have survived."
Erza dropped to her knees in relief then the demon continued.
"However, I had to erase her memory of everything. So when she wakes up don't expect her to know who you are."
To their surprise Erza wiped her tears away then smiled.
"That's fine. She's alive, that's all that matters to me."
The demoness just raised a brow.
"For someone of the Royal Kingdom I figured that you would want her power. That is how your kingdom is still standing."
Erza lowered her head.
"I used to but after keeping Minerva with me for almost a week my feelings changed."
"Is that so? In what way do you see Minerva?"
Erza had an embarrassed blush on her face as she looked away.
"I um,…want her."
The demoness had an amused smirk on her face.
"I see, so that's what those moments of hers were about."
The Yakuma king just looked at her.
"What do you mean, Lady Kyouka?"
Kyouka looked at Minerva's sleeping form as she spoke.
"Minerva is a princess after all and since you're a knight that saved her it is possible that she might want to get acquainted with you. To top that off you care for her to the point that you took quite the hit from that whip. I also saw some life changing moments between you two."
Erza blushed.
"Wait you mean you saw us kissing?"
Kyouka smiled.
"Why yes. I had to erase Minerva's memory in order to save her. As a leading demoness of my tribe you have my permission to have Minerva's hand. I will say this, break her heart I break your bones, understood."
There was a dark purple aura surrounding Kyouka that made both Erza and the Yakuma king take a step back. The yakuma king then looked at his daughter and went to her. He rubbed her head then looked at Kyouka.
"Though my daughter is human she still looks up to you as if you were her mother."
Kyouka looked away.
"Yes she does. When she wakes up and sees this knight here she'll wonder if anything new has happened."
Both the king and Kyouka left the room to leave Erza alone with Minerva.
Erza went to the bed and sat on the side of it. She couldn't help but look at the sleeping face then she leaned closer and kissed Minerva on the forehead.
"I'm so happy you're alright."
She leaned closer and kissed Minerva on the cheek then laid her head on Minerva's stomach.
Time skip, a week
Minerva opened her eyes and felt a weight on her stomach. She looked down only to see red hair. She was confused since there wasn't a single person in her homeland that had such beautiful hair like this stranger. She was about to touch the red hair but then she saw the stranger stir.
The stranger sat up then turned their head to look at her. The moment their eyes met Minerva was taken by surprise as she was being hugged by a stranger.
"Who are you?"
Erza let her go then looked at her.
"You don't need to know my name, Princess Minerva."
Minerva just looked at her then Erza stood up and turned to leave. She stopped when she felt a hand grab her wrist. She looked behind her and Minerva spoke.
"Surely there's something you want."
Erza smiled.
"No, what I want is already here."
Minerva just looked at the knight in confusion then Erza went back to her and lowered her head.
"You are safe and at your home."
Minerva then sat up.
"You're not from here, where is your home?"
"The Royal Kingdom."
Minerva got to her feet but fell forward. Before she could hit the floor Erza had caught her.
"You're in no condition to walk. You need to rest more, Princess Minerva?'
Minerva looked up at her.
"How do you know my name?"
Erza laid her back in the bed and put the covers over her. She felt Minerva's neck and frowned at how cold it was. She looked over to see her scarf neatly folded on the counter then picked it up.
"She wrapped it around Minerva's neck then smiled.
"I don't think we'll meet each other anytime soon so you can keep my scarf."
With that Erza kissed Minerva on the forehead then turned to leave.
When Erza got to the doorway Minerva spoke.
"Who are you, please tell me."
Erza smiled as a memory came to her then she looked at Minerva with a sincere smile.
"I'm the Warrior of the night, Erza Knightwalker."
With that Erza picked up her spear then left out of the room smiling at what she just said.
As she was leaving the palace she stopped when she heard Kyouka talking to her.
"So you're leaving?"
"I have to. I know that the king of the Royal Kingdom will hunt princess Minerva down. I don't want her in danger again because of me."
Kyouka nodded then turned to leave.
"If possible, visit Minerva. Now that she's seen you she'll want to know more about you."
Erza nodded then climbed onto her Legion and left out of the Yakuma kingdom territory. As she was in the air her smile turned into a stoic expression.
"Back to my old ways but only to keep the one I love safe. To the Royal kingdom I'm the Fairy Hunter but to the princess of the Yakuma Kingdom, I'm the Night Warrior."
Erza then frowned ahead as she looked for the last guild of Edolas, Fairy Tail.
"I have to kill you all now."
