Chapter 21

I whatched with a bored expression on my face as everyone stood staring at me in awe. The first person to speak was me.

"So~, can you help me now?"

The short old man cleared his throat and spoke "Yes, we will help you save princess Lucy. The only question now is how."

After I familiarized myself with everyone I started to think. I personally wasn't good at thinking, but I will try my best for Luce. Since I don't know much about the castle I am not the best person for the job, but I am pretty good at fighting so that might come in handy.

"Excuse me everyone!"

Everyone looked up to see the old man, Makarov.

"Okay, please listen to Loki. He is going to explain the plan and decide who will go with who. I also want to note that he has been living in the castle, along with two others secret spy's for a long time. So you do not have to worry."

Makarov nodded to a man with orange hair, glasses, and a butlers outfit.

"Alright, I will pick a few people after I say the plan to please stand by. I will sneak the few people I choose into the castle and hide you in an empty room. Then when everyone is asleep I will come get the group and we will sneak princess Lucy out using an escape route that only I know. Once we get outside I will give a signal and and a carriage will come out and pick us up. Then we will put Lucy in hiding at the tavern until we can find a permanent safe place for her."

I looked around and everyone was nodding in agreement. I thought it was a good plan too. The only thing that I am worried about is if I get into the group that goes with Loki. I would really like to see Luce and I would make sure to protect her no matter what.

"I have one last announcement. We will start the mission in about a month so the castle will calm down. Prince Gray is visiting so it will take a while for the castle atmosphere to go back to normal. If the atmosphere is not back to normal in a month then we still have four months left till Lucy's marriage."

Marriage? Luce never mentioned anything about a marriage. Is that 'Gray' guy the one she's getting married to? Well, if so I'll make sure to give him a good beating. I clenched my fists to stop myself from hitting the wall.

"Excuse me"

I turned my head to see Mira outer hand on my shoulder.

"Natsu, why don't I take you to a room to rest. I bet it was a long journey to get here."

"Y-yeah"

Now that the place has calmed down I have noticed how tired I am. I followed Mira to a free room and walked in. It was a small room but still cozy. I shut the curtains and laid down on the bed. I thought of all that had happened to in these couple of last weeks. From when I met Lucy to the time I lost her.

My eye lids started to get heavy, and then I drifted off to sleep.

Sorry this chapter is so short. The next chapter will hopefully be longer. Anyway I want to thank y'all for all the support! ( ˘ ³˘)
