I'm sorry I haven't been updating. School started again and the homework is just overwhelming.

The Morning After Their Trip

"Hey where's Juvia- chan?" Lyon asked Gray, "Doesn't she have wedding plans with you?"

Gray hesitated before answering his question, "The wedding's off."

"WHAT?!" Lyon said, shocked by the surprising news.

"She called it off last night", Gray said quietly.

"She was the one who called it off?! But she adored you! Even though it's clear that you don't love her back, you don't deserve her anyway."

Gray didn't answer.

"What? You aren't going hit me with another one of your snide remarks?"

Gray still didn't answer.

"HEY", Lyon said boldly, "What's wrong with you?"

"I didn't mean to hurt her…"

Lyon then grasped the collar of Gray's shirt and shook him, "WHAT DID YOU TO DO HER?" He asked grimly.

"I told her that I didn't feel the way she did, but she already knew. She didn't even cry like I expected her to, but that's even worse." Lyon dropped his brother on the floor as he continued, "She even told me why her father arranged our marriage… It was to…" Gray hesitated and looked away from Lyon, "To attack Natsu."

"No. That's not possible. I mean, her father did lead the rebellion of the Celestial Kingdom, but that was only because they were a tyranny. Natsu's – "

Not knowing the blonde was hiding in the corner, Gray said seriously, "THEY WEREN'T TYRANNIOUS. HE TRICKED US. THEY WERE INNOCENT."

"And how would you know?"

Gray hesitated for a moment and thought, This is not a secret that I should be telling. Shit. Why did I bring that up? I guess it's because of Lucy…

"Nothing, I-I… y-you remember when I thought the Celestial royalty never did anything wrong."

"Y-yeah, I guess? Anyway, that doesn't explain where Juvia went. Maybe we should visit her."

"No. It's too dangerous, Lyon."

"Please, we both have been sword fighting since we were little, we'll be fine. Unless… you're scared?"

"I'm not scared. Lord Jose and his son have been building something big and even Juvia doesn't know what it is."

"It doesn't matter. I'm going anyway", Lyon said as he walked through the palace doors.

At Water Falls

Lyon stood in front of the blue gates and commanded, "I seek presence with Princess Juvia."

The guards replied, "Lady Juvia of Water Falls can't be seen as of the moment."

"Then when CAN I see her?"

"When the time comes, Prince Lyon of the Ice Palace."

Lyon sighed.

"However, you may speak with Lord Gajeel."

"Fine, just let me in."

The gates and the castle doors opened up for Lyon and took a step. He was asked to take a seat. While no one was looking, he explored the castle himself. He looked out for unnecessary "business" and he finally ended up in the cellar. He saw the blue- haired princess on the floor of a dirty jail cell.

"Juvia! What happened?! Why are you locked up in here? In your own castle?"

"Lyon- sama! You came for me! Well, they told me. "

"Told you?"

"I can't tell. Or else they'll lock you up in here as well and Gray- sama will need all the help he can get."

A shadow looms over Lyon.

Juvia screams, "LYON- SAMA LOOK OUT!"

Everything blacks out.
