Wah!

Twelveth chapter for you guys and don't worry I'll start another story ^^

So let's go! (~._.)~

Ayane's POV:

The girls brought me to the third floor as a line of ladies carrying different materials followed us. The ladies were holding measuring tapes, rulers, scissors, needle kit and lots and lots of rolls of fabric. We stopped at a huge open area where we all would usually make alterations on our clothes or make new ones. The girls sat me down on a couch as they grabbed some papers, most probably to sketch out my wedding dress,

"So Ayane, where's your wedding?"

"Well Lyon and I were going to do it the royal way. It will be held at the front of this castle and all my people would attend,"

"Since you're the bride, we have to make bridemaids dresses too," Lucy pondered away as Sherry and Chelia stood up.

"Don't worry! Chelia and I would settle the bridemaids dresses! You guys continue first!" They run with some of the designing ladies before to another open area so as not to disturb us.

"Then, what type of wedding dress do you want Ayane?" Erza asked as me as she stares at me with a rather scary face.

"Well, I want a strapless and sleeveless dress. I also want the dress to look sexy to show off my figure but I also want it to be elegant too. Something like a 'wow' factor added and of course I want a train at the back," I tried as hard as I can to explain as Erza and Lucy sketch down their ideas.

"Great! Erza and I will discuss our creations with the ladies! So wait awhile, okay?" I nodded my head as sat still. What I thought that I would waiting for them in minutes turned into hourse that I fell asleep. I was shaken hard when I woke up by Lucy who was smiling like a chesire cat.

"Ayane! We came up with the perfect wedding dress! We also got some help from Lady Arisu's personal maid, Aya," I stood up and greeted Aya as I remembered at the time I met her when she delivered food to Arisu.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, I heard of your request for your wedding dress and went to combine some of my ideas as well. Your dress would be strapless and sleeveless and your neckline would be a deep sweetheart neckline that ends near the bottom of your bust to give you the sexy look you wanted. The corset would be beaded with beautiful diamonds and your waistline would have a diamond belt to touch it up. In overall, your wedding dress would be a ball gown wedding dress, so the fabric of your skirt would be organza. Plus, since you are the Queen, the train would be cathedral and your dress would be floor length and it would be white of course. In addition, your veil would also be cathedral-length," I listened carefully and looked at the drawing. It was really beautiful.

"Oh and the shoes you would be wearing would be a shimmer silver crystal bows platform high heels. Your mother's necklace would obviously but the ring you'll be wearing would be worn when your husband wears it for you. I assume the hairstyle and make up is settled?"

"Oh yes, we decided to go to a really popular salon in Fiore. Lucy and I never got the chance cause it was always full, but their make-up skills are beyond standards. We thought we could bring you today so that they would come over to the kingdom to do your make-up and hair before your wedding starts," Erza answered as I pondered for awhile. Hmm...I have no royal duties today so it was a perfect chance. Might as well go.

"Girls! Chelia and I created the perfect bridemaids designs ever!" Sherry ran towards us while Chelia was panting for breath.

"We decided that for our bridesmaids dresses that we would keep it simple. It would an aubergine strapless sweetheart neckline dress with an A-line sillhoutte and the fabric would be taffeta. So that would be four of us, oh and plus one more for Juvia," I looked at all of their designs and was quite impressed and touched. To think the girls would give their all for my wedding day.

"That's awesome! You guys are the best! Let's go to the salon you guys were talking about then! Oh, but let's bring Juvia along too and plus we all need to change," My dress had dust on it and the girls' dresses had markings and dirt, probably from all the drawing and measuring.

I quickly went to my room and threw on a classy sheath column one shoulder floor-length chiffon white evening dress. I wore my gliterring sliver high heels along with my crystal tiara and proceeded to the grand hallway where everyone was there,

"Ayane, we're all here. The guys are gonna go out to buy a suit for Lyon. And Juvia is with us now," Lucy pulled Juvia who was trying to go towards Grey.

"Splendid. Well Juvia, you are to follow us to a salon and do your bridesmaids' make-up too. Besides, you do want to impress Grey on my wedding right?" I gave her a sly smile and Juvia slowly nods and said she would do anything for Grey. If jumping off a cliff counts too, I wouldn't be surprised.

"Well, we're off then. Oh and, about the maid-of-honor, I decided that Erza would be,"

"I am? Oh, thank you thank you so much!" Erza grabbed my hand so tightly and shook my hand so hard that I felt dizzy after that.

"We'll cool Erza down first, besides, I think a little someone wants to talk to you," Sherry pointed towards Lyon who was directing to a private area. I left the girls and followed who looked more relaxed than before surprisingly.

"Look at you, dressing all sexy like that," Lyon told me as he showed me the slit I had on my dress.

"Oh please, I was born sexy and I'm getting married to a sexy guy," I wrapped my arms around Lyon and he kissed me slowly yet satisfying.

"Hey, let's save the romance for your honeymoon," Grey interrupted us and Lyon gave him an irratated look.

"Well, you guys have to look for the perfect suit right? I'm going to a salon with girls okay, and don't do anything stupid," I gave Lyon a light kiss on his lips before leaving the castle with girls. I stopped outside to stare at a big white carriage with four beautiful white horses at the front. It turns out Tuskalate was the only beast left as his friends were taken by knights for hunting. The girs each mounted their own white horse as Tuskalate was being rode by the head knight-in-charge. I entered the carriage as the head knight got ready with Tuskalate. We soon rode off and I sat there looking outside. Ever since I was Queen, the environment changed. The distance between the my kingdom and Fiore was now quite close since I built the kingdom over my old destroyed kingdom.

It took awhile as I realised that we had taken a shortcut towards Fiore. We arrived in front of a large colourful building called 'Diva's Style'. What a name that the salon had. As soon as we stopped, gasps and murmurs were heard everyone and I saw some young adults rushed out of the salon, most probably workers as I could see that they were wearing shirts with the name of salon on it.

"Fairy Tail and Lamia Scale? What are you guys doing?" Sting asked as I saw some Sabertooth members gathered around us as well.

"We're escorting a Queen," I heard Lucy reply and remembered that I didn't managed to greet anybody as I was busy with Lyon at that time. Lucy opened the door and I stepped out slowly. The knights that were with us immediately surrounded me but was at a suitable distance away from me. I took a glance and I saw so many people around me.

"That's Queen Ayane," I heard the citizens quoted that continuously in whispers.

"She sure is a beautiful Queen," I heard Sting said that as Lucy glared menacingly at him. Wait, I thought she liked Natsu. Well, who knows?

I approached the salon workers as some guards went to park the carriage and horses somewhere. The girls followed me and I stood in front of the workers and talked to them in my most Queen-like voice,

"Greetings ladies,"

"A-ah, greetings your highness," The workers bowed down as some of them tremble a little.

"No need to be afraid, I came here as I have a request. You see, my wedding would take place next week and I need a hairstyle and perfect make-up for myself and my bridesmaids. My lovely bridesmaids told me your salon was the best and I hoped that you ladies may come over to my castle to do the necessary before my wedding occurs. Of course, I would pay you for your services. So, what is your answer my dear children?"

"Of course we will help you. Please proceed in the salon. You all would be appointed with your own worker. This way, your highness," Some of the ladies squealed as they giggled. They sure are one of the kindest of souls i have ever met.

"Why thank you," I followed the ladies in the salon and was given the V.I.P chair. The chair was larger and looked like the most comfy out of rest of the chairs. A woman with brunette hair which was tied up into a ponytail with some fringe hanging out was appointed as my stylist,

"So, your highness, what does your wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses look like?"

"Oh, Lucy, Sherry?" Lucy and Sherry stood up and showed the design of our dresses to the workers as they quietly gathered at an area. I was scanning the area and saw Juvia who was trembling a bit,

"Hey, what's the matter? Are you nervous that you won't look pretty enough for Grey?"

"Something like that," Juvia replied while looking down.

"Hey, you are already one of the preetiest girls I have ever met. Besides, after the wedding we will have a dance during the after-party. How about you ask Grey to dance with you? Have you even approached him before?" I gave Juvia a sarcastic look as she looked up and suddenly gave a very big yet creepy smile.

"Oh thank you Ayane! I had never thought of that! I would definitely try it!" I smiled a little bit and thought to myself. Did she really never thought of that?

"Okay! We have planned the make-up and hairystyle. And we will start now!" The workers immediately took out a bunch of stuff and was suddenly so serious. My stylist took her time and when she was finished, she told me to look in the mirror,

"Oh wow," It was the only thing I could only say. I was wearing a black and grey eyeshadow as my base. It was then top off by a silver eyeshadow with glitter on it which really made my eyes pop. There was also silver tiny crystals placed around my eyes. I was wearing eyeliner which the stylist created a not too long and not too short wing at the side alongside mascara on my already long eyelashes. I was wearing a really light pink blush which blended with my skin tone. My lipstick was nude and was topped off with a hint of lip gloss.

My hair was curled a little and was in a half up and half down hairstyle plus my fringe was hanging out. My tiara was placed at the line of my scalp behind my fringe. I loved the look so much that I was speechless,

"You don't like it?" My stylist asked me as I could tell that she was worried that I did not like my make-up and hair.

"I love it," The stylist immediately smiled at my response as I turned around to see my teammates' make-up and hair. They were wearing dark purple smokey eyeshadow with a hint of glitter. Their blush and lipstick was the same as mine and their hairstyle was slightly curled like mine but their hair was tied into a low side ponytail along with a purple rose pin on the side,

"We all love our looks! So Ayane, is it official that they are our personal stylists for your wedding?" Sherry asked me as I looked at the stylists' faces. They were all nervous.

"It is official," The stylists squealed and hugged each other like as if they just won a race. I gave them jewel and officially set for them to come to my castle early on my wedding day. I walked out the salon and decided we all should have lunch. We went to a restaurant and everyone was treating me like as if I am a really important person. And I mean a really important person. The restaurant manager was making sure that my food always come first and that the waiters and waitresses would quickly attend to me before the rest customers. Talk about royalty.

As soon as we left the restaurant, people started surrounding us once again but this time, there were more males. Some even offered me bouquet of flowers. I decided to hurry back home so that Lyon would not be suspicious or something. It was already night time which means the guards protecting the castle must have increased too. I got off my carriage and was surprisingly tired. From the wedding dress, to the make-up, to the hair. Ugh. But Lyon did help me with the after-party plans. I waved goodnight to the girls and went back to my room. Lyon was sleeping on my bed and I quickly changed. I was so lazy that I decided that I'm just gonna sleep in my lingerie.

I slipped onto my bed and closed my eyes to sleep but heard Lyon spoke up,

"You tired?" Lyon turned around to face me.

"Yup, even though I didn't expect wedding planning to be this hard," I responded and continued to stare into his smoky eyes.

"Hey, no need to be stressed out. Once all of this is over, it would be the most happiest moment of your life," I felt Lyon's warm hand on my face, caressing my cheek.

"Well, okay. Now, go to sleep. And no dirty tricks this time," I gave Lyon a small kiss on his cheek and turned around, my back facing him. I closed my eyes, and could feel Lyon hugging while pulling closer towards his body. The warmth of his muscular body and his sweet words immediately comforted me. I smiled to myself and soon drifted off to sleep.

*a day before the wedding*

Everything was going smoothly. My wedding dress was already made and stunning. Lyon already had his suit. I decided to invite the stylists a day earlier to get them ready and also invited them to attend my wedding. The menu on the food and beverages were all set and so are the desserts. The cupcakes, the truffles, the wedding cake. Wait. The wedding cake? The wedding cake! I must have forgotten all about it. Oh no, this is bad. Really bad. My wedding is tomorrow. Plus, the cake would definitely take more than a day.

I rushed to the kitchen and opened the door to tell the chefs about the news until I saw a huge cake inside. I walked up to the chefs and they were placing the decorations on it. The cake was an 8-tiered masterpiece. The icing was beautiful and the cake was obviously huge. At the center tier, I could see the words King and Queen written there. The chefs must have put aot of hard work but who ordered this? I didn't ordered the cake to be made. Before I could even ask, one of the chefs told me that Arisu had told them early as she noticed you were busy with your wedding plans that she decided to help you a bit. I nodded my head and proceeded to find Arisu.

She really had helped me alot. I walked up the stairs and was about to knock on her door before I heard voices coming from the room,

"You know Lady Arisu, I know it is not my place to say this, but, shouldn't you tell your daughter about the real you?"

"I would, but I rather not disturb her now. She's already busy with her wedding. If I were to tell her the truth, she might feel even more pressured,"

"As you wish Lady Arisu, but I would like to ask you something,"

"Ask whatever you wish,"

"How were you so sure that when Ayane first came to castle, that she was your daughter?"

"That's an easy question. A mother never forgets," I stood frozen at the door. A mother never forgets? Tell her daughter? Could it be? Was it real? Is it possible that Arisu is actually my mother? I leaned against the door but carelessly pushed it open. The door must have not been closed properly. I fell forward and looked up. Aya and Arisu stood up and stared at me with widened eyes. Or should I say Aya and Ayasaki,

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have eavesdropped. I shall leave now,"

"Stop where you are. I believe that it's time I have another chat with you. Aya, thank you for your services, you may leave now,"

"Yes, your highness," Aya left and closed the door. My mother directed me to sit beside me and I did as I was shown.

"I'm sorry Ayane. I never knew how to break it to you ever since the war," My mother held both of my hands, feeling me up with the love of a mother.

"I never really died. Ever since your father followed my sister's orders to kill me, I was scarred for life. He missed and hit my collar bone. When your aunt left me to rot and die, I used the last of my strength to seek for help. When I stopped and fainted in the forest, I thought to myself, it was the end for me, until one day I woke up to a group of travelers. They knew who I was and together, helped me look for survivors. I found a few including Aya. Years past, and I decided that I should start my kingdom all over again, and I did under a secret name, so your aunt wouldn't discover me. When you came here, I knew that it was you. I knew that my daughter was back. I wanted to tell you but the war happened and you have a wedding tomorrow so I decided to not say a word to at least after your honeymoon, but I guess time pass fast,"

"Oh, wait. Father followed auntie's orders? I had a dream of you getting killed by Garou when he stabbed you in the throat,"

"Garou is your father,"

"W-wat?!"

"When I was ruling with your father, he was such a sweet man. A loving and true king at heart. Until one day, he changed. He started becoming like my sister. He started being ruthless and cruel towards our people. When I went to talk to him, it turned into a fight. He left the next day without a trace. I would cry in my room and eventually found letters from him to my sister, stating their love for each other and how they would overthrow me and rule the kingdom. When I found out, I was furious but I didn't let it take over me. Years went by, and my kingdom was still happy but I knew your aunt would attack me soon, so I asked a nearby village elder, to take care of you if anything happens. When the attack happened, I sent you away with the village elder and successfully, you were safe. Your father had stopped loving me and now he had truly become dark,"

"B-but, when he was disguised Garou, Lyon went to investigate! Lyon said he found a signed document by you given your royal duties to your fake self! Father must have kept it for a reason! Of course, he still loves you!"

"That was actually part of my plan. When I heard about a group of mages entering "Mereholt" I was worried for them, as I knew my sister's true self. When I heard there was a girl named Ayane Yukimoto over there, I knew it was you. So I had a plan. Your aunt would send your father and knights to check the old Crystal Kingdom for anything. I wrote a letter and made it looked like it was years old and partly burnt. I sent Aya to place it there and my plan successfully worked. I knew that you were a very smart girl, and look at you now. You are the Queen, and tomorrow you will also have a husband and a King,"

"But, you do know that you have to tell the people attending to my wedding that you are actually my mother right? I mean, since you're alive, then that means I'm still a princess. I-I'm not prepared for my royal duties! I don't even know the timing for them! So you will still rule as Queen right?" My mother instead smiled softly at me and responded.

"I would not. Besides, I'm too old for this. If anyone asks why you are the Queen then, I shall just tell them that I legally gave my royal position to you. I would still have a royal position but the top priority would instead be held to you. Your husband would be your King and both of you shall rule this kingdom gracefully. You should know that even if you two are King and Queen, you still could go back to your guilds and go on quests. I am here, either way," I kept silent and thought to myself. It's so hard! I thought today would be a normal day but Arisu turns out to be my mother. Garou's my father. And I'm getting married tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, but...it's really alot for me to take in right now,"

"Do not worry child. I will handle all the necessary regarding the positions. In the meantime, you should take in some air with your husband. Your wedding is tomorrow anyways, we would not want you to be pressured right? I'll see you tomorrow then sweetheart," My mother accompanied me to the grand hallway while holding my hand.

"T-thank you, Lady Ayasaki,"

"Please, darling. You can call me mum," I smiled to myseld and my mother left me standing alone, surrounded with the decorations and treats for tomorrow's after party. I fiddled with my fingers and bit my lip. I was starting to worry about wedding. Lyon and I decided to follow the royal way. Our wedding would be held just outside the castle and after we put on our rings and kissed each other, we are going to hold up the royal sceptre together in the ray of the nine gems. Once the nine gems is generated, it would change the kingdom to our adaptations and it could be a major change since Lyon and I are mages.

Maybe I should cool off. I decided to go to Sherry's room which is where the girls are usually at. I sat together with them and hang out with them. Maybe the wedding would go smoothly. Maybe I shouldn't worry too much. I breathed in deeply as all of us decided to do yoga too. Maybe tomorrow wouldn't be so bad.
