Hey, guys, I'm back! Yeah.. sorry I was going to publish this a few days ago but prepping to go back to school.
Delusions: Part II
"How about Lily?" I shook my head a bit,
"I wouldn't even name a cat that." She gave a small cackle, pulling her needle through the thin layer of cloth. "Let alone a child."
"I would." I waved a hand to her, as I brought my gaze to the paper in front of me. Three hundred. I had to seat three hundred people, all demanding special attention and proper thought.
"The high priest next to the master of coins?"
"If you want to have the Priest marry you," She sat up a bit, "I do not recommend seating him anywhere near a- provocative man such as the lord of coins?"
"This is after the reception."
"Then," She lowered her stencil, "would you like him to bless your children Princess?" I shrugged a bit. I hated him, the priest. He alway recommended I be sent to an academy for the ladies of Milorth, to learn how to be shut up when a man speaks and to smile instead- and not speak the way I did because I was smart and unfazed by the sights of gods! Huh?
I was as proper as I could be, he just didn't want anyone to question his stupid insensible preaches.
"I think we should put him there." Make him sit through the utter stupidity that other man would put him through, so he'd know how much I had to put up with. "Never know, they might have something in common?" She shrugged,
"I think he will be angrier towards you rather than the master of coin, Princess?"
"True." I scratched his name, moving down to the next name. Laxus. I shook my head a tad, looking to the next name. Lucy. I folded the paper looking up to Levy.
"What is it?" Her chirpy smile gave me a flushed feeling.
"Nothing." She shrugged me off going on with her stitchery. I sat back, tossing my quill pen into the ink jar. "When do you believe they will be back?"
"Soon."
"They have been gone for so long. I just want to leave this castle-"
"This castle is lovely, why do you want to leave so soon?" Her eyes seemed confused since we arrived we have been in such peace. Besides being stabbed, I was actually in a calm place, it made me nervous- being in a calm place was weird.
"I like this castle…" I held my other hand stopping me from shivering, "It's far from the Queen but I do not think it is such a good idea to be so far from the capital. I was always told to stay close to the news-"
"It's better to be away from all that stress-"
"No," I was raised to know politics, how to interrelate and to always follow them. I can make people tell me things they shouldn't and they would just think I was a friend. I didn't do it as often now since Syralthian seems to not care to keep secrets. "it just masking the thought of me having to deal with new political issues." Her eyes grew, we as woman had no place in politics,
"Have you been sized yet for your dress?" Levy changed the topic. Good,
"I was waiting for Natsu but I will have to order it today if I ever want a dress, it will be rushed as it is but-"
"Is someone going to be here taking your measurements?"
"Yes." I pushed back my seat, rounding up as I pulled on my dress fixing the wrinkles that had formed over the pale yellow fabric. "He should be here by midday."
"What color will you have it made as?" I looked around a bit, this room was so white. I was used to this color so much,
"I always wear ivory so I do believe-"
"Red!" I snapped back my head shaking it,
"No… No," What kind of wedding will that be? "my family would not be ecstatic if I were to wear such a prude color during my wedding."
"Your family will be attending?!"
"I-" I had to go back to the castle, "I have not been given any verifications, that is why I must return to the capital. I have to know who will be attending so I may properly seat people."
"Do you plan on leaving right away?" I shook my head to her,
"I will not leave without Natsu."
"Princess?" I gave her my attention as she gave me a faint smile, "If you do not know who will be attending- does that mean you do not if Prince Laxus will be attending the wedding?"
"I do not know," I smiled to her, "let's not worry about that, though?" She seemed satisfied at the chance that they wouldn't be attending.
"Yes," It might be overlooked by one thing, a storm. A bad one, but those only came during the summers. Not winter.
"What are you going to do Princess-"
Ring! Ring! Ring! My eyes locked up at my ceiling- as I heard the bell swing. I turned to Levy, eyes wide as she looked to me.
"Is that the-"
"Yes, Princess. Someone has arrived-" I rushed forward, taking up a white shawl- "Princess?" I wrapped it around me,
"Let's go."
I held my hands together over my stomach, looking at the door. I was told it would be opened soon- but when? He was outside, wasn't he? How long had it been? I felt myself gripping my skirt, Who else could it have been- the door slowly creaked open, and I saw him.
His dark hair, causing me to frown- as I noticed who it truly was. I still had to behave, even as my blinking became excessive. I moved forward, giving a weak smile in front of everyone.
"Hello, lord Mest."
"Hello," His eyes flashed, and I could see the surprise in his greeting he wasn't expecting to see me."P-princess Lisanna?"
"Pardon me- but why are you here?"
"Oh?!" He jumped a bit at my question before continuing, "I-I was called here to assist the Prince." Who truly called him?
"Really?" How could Natsu call him? He hurt this man, and was calling him here- hell Natsu wasn't even here?! I didn't like him, he was just so pestering- and what he told me before, "He isn't here you see-"
"Yes!" He lowered his head a bit, "He told me, he would be a while so-"
"He asked for you to wait?" He nodded, just as I turned a bit- seeing his guards looking around suspiciously. Was he really sent here? I felt my grip over my other hand grow to a pinch forcing me to speak,
"Would you care to join me for tea?" His eyes flickered a bit, as he swallowed hard.
"Yes, Princess." I did not hesitate to reach an arm out, tucking it on my side. He stared at my extended limb, almost not wanting to take it. I nudged it a bit towards him,
"I won't bite?" He choked a nervous laugh, quickly he took my arm- holding me with an iron grip. I didn't need him gripping me tightly- my side hurt but Levy was following me, I was safe.
I could not let this man know I was in the least bit of discomfort... but he was making it so hard. I felt my legs lighter... Almost as if he was pulling all my weight.
"How have you been lord Mest?"
"Wonderful-ugh… After we were told you and the Prince were both found safely-"
"Yes, yes-" Lyin' through his teeth, "how was your wedding?" He stammered a bit through a bitter smile,
"It was fine." He lowered his head a bit, "A gallant event…" He didn't like it then?
"How is the bride?" His face just sank a bit,
"Better…" What does that mean?
"What do you mean better?" My eyes grew a bit as I looked to him, "Is she ill-"
"No..no no.." He waved me off a bit, "She was simply concerned over you and the Prince's safety. She will be very happy to know that you are in good health."
"Thank her for her worry, please?" He gave me a gentle nod, as I lead the way.
"I will." He was surprisingly calm at the moment, "She will be very glad you remembered her." I felt my head tilt a bit to him,
"How is she-" I was repeating myself- what made me so nervous, "I mean how is she faring with her new surroundings?" His pace was much larger than mine, forcing me to widen my stride. It was beginning to tire me. How far was my room?
"Fine." I saw his quake a bit he rustled his hair with his other arm, "She loves dragons- so it is great for her-"
"More dragons?" I was beyond finished with those beast's the moment I saw the one I rode chew on a person.
"I know…" His eyes looked up, "When I first saw one I was surprised that anyone could ever find any use for those things." Ha. "Large, scaly- bloodthirsty beasts." He shrugged, "I thought they were to kill enemy surely!" His voice lowered a bit, "I thought they were solely for that but it is actually the opposite I suppose-" I could barely hear his voice as it broke off at the end of his sentence forcing me to interpret.
"I have yet to see any other use for those things."
"You would be surprised actually," He shook his head a bit, "Syralthian's have them like children, feeding them lavishly, housing, they pay top gold to know they are being treated better than all the peasants and some nobles."
"Peasants and nobles?" I gave a small cackle, just as he looked to me with no humor.
"I know, it made me laugh the first time as well-" He shrugged a bit to me, "It honestly shocks me… shocks me- how anyone could consider that those beast are anything but a sum of misfortune." I tilted my head a bit to me,
"Lord Mest?" His brow cocked up a bit,
"Yes, Princess Lisanna?"
"I was told you were in charge of care for those dragons?"
"I am." His low chuckle made me turn to him, "They have made me very rich." I smiled a bit,
"Really?"
I held my cup slightly tilted watching him sweat,
"Levy serve Lord Mest his tea please?" I heard her small footsteps behind me move to him, just as I lifted my own cup, closing my eyes.
"I received your wedding invitation a few nights ago Princess," I peeked an eye to him, his eyes were straight to me- not looking at Levy at all. He lifted his hand a tad, letting her know to stop. "I never knew that you were still allowed to use your family seal?"
"Well, I am being married," I gave him a small shrug, "not exiled after all?"
"Is that it?" He lifted his cup lightly hovering it over his lips waiting to drink, "I was certain it was the same?" He spoke as if he knew this first hand.
"Has Lady Wendy lost the privilege of using her family's seal?"
"Yes." That stupid. She was a family member with that-that old man! You never leave family, never. "But it's not like she needs it now, my seal is higher than anything her father could have given her."
"Cocky ay?" He placed his cup down, coughing a bit.
"Am I?" He simply shrugged, "Pardon me," He didn't sound guilty for saying such a thing, "I just know my seal could bring the king to my aid." He was not Syralthian, how could he gain more favor than a natural born Syralthian?
"Are you implying lady Wendy's family does not have the power you do?"
"No- no." His eyes hovered around a bit, eyes pressing to Levy. He wanted her out,
"Lady Levy- dear?!" I heard her move close to me,
"Yes, Princess?" I never waivered my eyes from him as I spoke.
"Go fetch us fresh bread from the kitchen, please?"
"Yes, Princess." She lowered her head a tad, just as she drifted away. It remained silent until I heard the door closed just as Lord Mest slid back in his chair,
"So, you were saying?"
"What I meant to say Princess was that that was exactly what I was implying."
"This King favors the people who tend to his creatures?" I shook my head. No way that King Igneel-
"Everyone in this country favors me, just because a dragon liked me-"
"A dragon liked you?" He rose a brow a bit as I finally asked the question, "Who is your father?"
"No need to ask Princess." His smug smile angered me, I knew everyone one's father- everyone who was important. "You wouldn't know him-"
"Nonsense!" I took in a deep breath, "I know even the lowest nobles-"
"Princess, he was not a noble. To be honest the reason you wouldn't know him was that I do not." How? Someone so low- speaking to a Princess without me realizing-
"You are a bastard?" What- how could he a bastard not even a high lord's bastard?!
"More or less?" He shrugged a bit almost as if he wasn't bothered by being called a bastard,
"More or less- w-what does that mean?"
"I am an orphan." His mother must have been the one to have gotten him this high-
"Your Mother was she a royal-"
"No!" He let out a small cackle, "No, she was a whore." His lip seemed droopy, a low frown. "I was left in a crowded orphanage in my country." How should I respond? A princess reaction,
"I am so sorry-"
"No need." He stuck his hand out to me, "I was in the city stealing from the merchants and it just happened that prince-" His eyes grew a bit, "The King I mean, was visiting for a wedding." His eyes sank to his cup, "I stole from one of his knights- was caught and sentenced to be fed to a dragon." I felt this a good story coming on. Well, one that would kill time?
"I assume you were not?"
"Oh no, I was." He placed his hand over his teacup, "It seemed the dragon wasn't so hungry, though…"
"I've seen one eat with breeze- there is no way it was not hungry-"
"It was not in the mood to eat me." He rolled his shoulder back a bit, "To my own shock it nudged me in the stomach forcing me to stand. I did, and then it rested its scaly head over my shoulder." His eyes showed me the memory of it was just as bad as living through it, " I was pardoned on the effect the dragon didn't want to leave my side, it hissed at everyone who tried to touch me- it was seen as if the dragon had not found me guilty. The people seemed to lash out at the thing until the King himself pushed the dragon away."
"One dragon proved your worthiness?"
"Ay." I almost leaped from my spot as his eyes grew looking to me, "The thing was it was not a simple run of the mill dragon, it was the Royal family's favorite."
"Was it?" I felt my voice fill with sarcasm, was it by mistake or something else?
"It is." I felt my spine tingle... Had they picked favorites? "I was given the job as it's caregiver," He waved his hands a bit, "I was horrified but apparently when that single dragon finds some worth in you then every dragon does."
"So that makes you higher than a natural born Syralthian?"
"Yes, me a non-Syralthian was found worthy not by people but by a monster."
"It still could not compete with the blood of-"
"You would be surprised how high it could get you." I bit my upper lip,
"What was the seal?" He leaned forward a bit, "It must be better than…. What was lady Wendy's family seal?'
"A cat." I shook my head lightly,
"Pardon me?"
"A cat," He pushed up his cloak, "They have a cat." I saw him pluck a letter from a pocket nestled near his chest, setting it down in front of me. A cat. I thought it was a joke but no- a double tailed cat.
"What cat has two tails?" He shrugged,
"I don't know…" His stare to the letter looked as if he was angered. "You haven't seen what's inside."
"Should I?" He nodded, just as I took it into my grasp. I pushed back the flap scooting out a tan paper. Before I read it I looked back at the dark-haired man.
"What does it say?"
"Princess-"
"Oh?" Just what I needed right now, "One of those letters?" I unfolded the paper skimming over it. Expected was all I could say, not creative- nothing.
"He really does not want you to be named Queen of Syralth," I gave him a pale green look just as he shrugged.
"Princess?" His tilted head angered me, "Did you know most people prefer the Prince marry a Syralthian peasant than a pale goddess?" I sat my hand over the table, holding the letter tightly in my grip.
"I prefer he marry a peasant." He gave a small chuckle just as I set my gaze to him, "He asked you to help prevent my wedding?"
"He thinks now that I married his daughter I am going to conform to him like the son he always wanted," He pulled his tea cup up,
"Will you?"
"Will I what Princess?" I rose a brow to this,
"Will you be preventing my wedding?" He gave me a thin smile shrugging a bit,
"You sound like you would have my head if I say the wrong thing?" I noted his expression cracking an uneasy smile. "Why would I help an old man ruin the chance to have a smart person rule this land?"
"I appreciate the concern for the people but as I said before, I am in need to let you know if I marry the prince I will still not be in power." His lean made me feel uncertain as he reached his arm over the table,
"Let us be honest, yes?" He pinched my ring finger, "The Prince will not reign long by the way he lives." I moved my hand back setting it on my lap.
"He has a brother."
"You will have Natsu's child won't you?"
"That is my job as his wife," I gritted my teeth a bit, "yes."
"Then you should have no problem getting rid of those others who will drag your claim to the throne."
"Are you trying to kill Natsu?"
"I have no need to kill him." He was dangerous, he was telling me that now, "He would do it himself with enough pressure."
"You would-" He lifted his hands in defense,
"Pressure of being king I mean, he acts tough but seems like the first to crack under pressure." He was probably right, Natsu being in charge of something so fragile like a country? Him being in charge of anything made me quiver.
"What if I do not produce a son?"
"My advice for a son?" His smirk angered me, "Keep trying until you have one or two- those are the only alternatives?"
"Then there is no guarantee? What if I am pushed aside as a simple widow-"
"If you have not produced a son by the death of your past husband you will probably be given to your home country or married to next in line." He was speaking as if he had a say in my life, he had none.
"I'd prefer to return home."
"Forgive me but giving up a kingdom of control to go back to a what?"
"The oldest kingdom in the Fiore." I felt my self-shake my head at his negligence to remember that, "People tend to forget that you know?"
"That honestly means nothing-"
"Do you know why we are the oldest?" He seemed to not expect a fall up question,
"They have always been on the winning side of history?"
"Ha!" I sounded like a child but was more than glad too, "Close. Our side has always been the winning side of history."
"Your knights can only bring you so far-"
"We did not need knight's, our military hasn't even touched come close to fighting and do you know why?" I could finally give a cocky smile, "We have something in advantage to everyone."
"What is that Princess Lisanna?"
"We have food." I cupped my fists, "Our farms feed every country, without us there would be famine everywhere."
"It could be solved by simply taking over your lands-"
"You would still have an extreme death rate against a country who could feed their army and a long list of enemies looking for a chance to finish a hotheaded country." His smile diminished as he stared at me,
"You are right Princess, forgive me I was out of line."
"No need." I straightened myself a bit, "I have been meaning to ask," I placed his letter over the table, "what has the Prince called you for?"
"I didn't already say?"
"No."
"Prince Natsu said Brynioth had gone off again."
"Who is Brynioth?"
"His dragon, not his favorite but-"
"He owns multiple dragons?!"
"He is the prince, of all the dragons he owns all of them." His smile grew, "That is what I was trying to explain to you the other night- you couldn't give him a dragon because he owns every single one!" This explains his claim to be dragon king…"Well, his father does anyways…" Mest rolled his head over his neck a bit, "Anyways he told me he would not be here for a little bit but I would have had the castle to myself?"
"I apologize," He thought I would be gone? "I became ill."
"Ill?" He did not believe a word I said,
"Just a simple cough." His brow lifted to me,
"I am glad, though- I mean seeing you." Was he hoping I was sick? "It is nice to speak to someone who is not a Syralthian."
"Yes... I as well enjoy our talks."
"You do?" He sat back, mouth in a tight line. "Me speaking of your virginity and marriage?"
"Please," I waved him off a bit grinning, "everyone does… The stares at my clothing the eyes that follow me to bed, did you think I would not notice that the reason everyone has ever doubted me is for my looks?" I turned my arm over covering my chest, "All that matter is that you have had the balls to speak up and ask if I was or was not."
"Your people dress in that manner-"
"Not as much skin as I have exposed, honestly I am a whore in everyone's eyes."
"No such-"
"Do not attempt flattery." He knew it, his eyes said what his mouth didn't. Oh, you knew? "It does not work or cover for what I have said."
"I know." He let out a thick stream of air, "You look like this, you act the way you do it's not to drive a man's lust but in fact the cry for more attention." What was he saying to me? A cry- for attention? I needed no ones- "You want someone to listen to you like they do to those bone headed idiots. The pretty ones who hide everything, the ones who speak pretty." His smirk was back and a larger than before, "The men, you want someone to listen-" I pushed my seat back,
"I should actually leave-!" I nodded slowly moving up as I stood.
"You know I am not lying. You do not want to be a simple wife, a queen- you want to rule-"
"No!" I combed my hair down, "Lord Mest please see yourself out-"
"You remember that night? The feast- how you managed to calm him- the Prince so easily? Your words- you use them amazingly-"
"I am leaving-"
"Wait!"
Ring!
I looked back into the air, "He's home?"
Ring!
"Lord-"
"The Prince is here." He pushed himself out of his seat, eyes to me. "Shall we go greet him?"
"No. It can not possibly just be him I have waited for so long-"
"It is him, Princess. It the bell swings twice for him, only him." No. It wasn't that simple-no! I have been waiting for so long, he could not just be here. "Let us go greet him?" My words could not be reached as he stuck his arm out to me. "Princess?" His smile seemed fake, like the one I always give people I am forced to please. I reached my hand out, taking his.
"Yes." I wrapped his arm around mine, "Let us go greet him."
I watched the door swing open, giving me the silhouette of a man limping forward, he was walking? My eyes grew as I saw his bright hair bringing a sigh to me.
It was him, safe and sound coming to me right now. I saw the horses following him to the courtyard,
"Princess-" I turned slightly hearing Mest whisper into my ear, "Do you see what is in his arms?" I could not see fully yet the dark clouds outside covered any means of seeing him. I could make it's shadowed out, a small bundle? What was he carrying? I felt myself step forward trying to see until I was jerked back by Mest's arm. I turned back to him gritting my teeth I whispered,
"Let go of me!"
"Look closely before-" I yanked my arm a bit prying it from his grip, "It is not what you think it is-" I pulled back my head looking down to the man only a few feet from me now. I saw the huddle of horses follow him, but now I saw what was in his grips. It shrieked,
Waa!
A baby?
"What?" Who's child was that- no...no...No!
"It is his-"
I caught his eyes, and then the sudden smile that he shot. No. It was a fucking smirk,
"Snowy?" He turned from me to Mest tilting the child's head up for a better view, "Mest?" He chuckled a bit, rocking the child in his arms, "You both made it just in time." I felt Lord Mest push me a bit,
"Prince Natsu, is that him?" Him? Natsu nodded to Mest as he walked past me, stepping to meet with Natsu and the infant. I saw him raise his arm slightly, just as one of the knights dismounted. Gajeel, he offered an arm to the person. A woman, long brown hair a hideously tan tattered dress, her face was covered in scars, her legs bleeding, covering the pale stone ground as she was lowered. Who was this woman? Natsu swerved back waved to her, bellowing for her to approach.
"Come here." She moved quickly stepping to his side. She? Was she the mother of the child? Why was Natsu holding some woman's child- I felt their eyes come to me. I had a hand to my lips, biting hard on my nail. I swear I heard it crack as I snapped back and blinked.
"Ahh.."
"Princess Lisanna?" Mest called for me,
"Snowy?" The woman next to him eyes grew enormous as she saw me. In an instant, she lowered herself to a bow. What was happening? They followed my gaze to her just as Natsu nudged her with his leg.
"Don't bow to her?" My head fell to the side a bit, why was he holding her-
"Princess." My elbows seemed to move to my sides as I heard her say something. In this case, it would be your highness,
"Snowy?" I felt myself gulp in air as Natsu spoke, "What's wrong?" The girl rose, face lowered to the ground. Why didn't she look me in the eyes? I cocked my head to the side, examining her. She was pretty enough, puffy lips- soft tan glow, large eyes, her body was great. Large breast, soft curves, and large thighs. She was the kind of woman he liked. "Snow!" I shook my head slightly, opening my mouth to say something. What could I say, who is she? Why are you holding that? Stop playing? You are not very funny Natsu?! What could I muster to make any of this make sense?
"You are late." What?
"Am I?" He rose his arms, showing me a dark head infant. "Sorry, I was busy with something more important." I nodded a bit,
"I see…" I crossed my arms, pressing my lips together. "Who is it's Mother?" Without missing a beat he looked next to him to the girl. I smirked a bit, "Is it a boy?" It was, I wasn't deaf just- frozen.
"What should I name him?" I couldn't scream. No! Rational thoughts, that it what I needed at this moment! I must remain calm, he wants me to shout. Gods, I want to shout! I took in a deep breath, letting my smirk fall and turn into a smile. I held my dress lightly, slowing lowering myself down the steps. The room was waiting for me to overreact, they all were. Every normal Princess would am I right but I wasn't every normal Princess, though. I was Lisanna Strauss from Milorth these are the types of moments that I have planned for, I knew what to do. First, Smile. I reached the final step, hovering over them. I swallowed hard, as I took a finger and I moved it around the small round face of the child. No one spoke, no one moved. Its eyes flashed me with bright green orbs, as it smiled to me. I cocked my head a bit taking back my finger, I looked at it. The child was covered in a thick grime like its mother. Next, I had to welcome my new obstacle. Everything that happened afterward would be from this moment. I turned to its mother.
"Your name?" Her eyes grew large, she was expecting me to overreact too, huh?
"Éclair, my Princess." She could me her Princess ay?
"Lisanna." I extended an arm to her, placing it over her head, "Call me Lisanna," I looked back to Natsu his brow risen, taunting me or questioning? I didn't know but I took the final step, smaller than the other three now I looked to Mest. He knew. They all knew, didn't they? I looked at the kid, it looked like him. A large smile, sharp eyes? How many other son's does he have? I stroked it with my single finger, just as I closed the distance moving to Natsu's ear, I whispered.
"Don't get me twisted. This is good. Well, for my case?" I pushed back, wrinkling my nose a bit as I gave him a thick smile. His face stiffened, as I rubbed the child's nose. I moved away from him, going back to the girl. She didn't look old? Maybe a year my senior, but she was a mother so? "Look at you-" I placed a hand over my skirt, "what should I call you?"
"She's my official mistress now," Natsu spoke, I looked him in the eye-popping my tongue in my cheek biting it down keeping me from saying something stupid.
"You have to be married to have a mistress my dear." I took out a hand, pulling at her dress skirt. "Well, we can't have you dress like this here-" I looked to him, "now can we?"
"Someone-" I turned a bit, feeling a handmaiden at my side, "Please wash her?"
"Princess?" I heard Levy come next to me her voice a bit shaken as I held a smile,
"See to it that you find her something give her one of my dresses if you must. If it will fit I mean?" I heard her confusion,
"Yes-"
Wahh! I turned my head back up to the shriek, just as it's mother reach for it. I looked down at it, a headache was already here,
"And find that child a wet nurse." She looked shocked as I said it and waved her from touching it, "It cries. A lot." I looked to Mest, ignoring the pressing matter. "Shall we go finish our conversation, M'lord?"
"He is going to speak with me Snowy?" Natsu voice sounded angry rather quickly.
" .no.." I placed my hand over his shoulder smiling, "You look tired and worn down, My dear Prince." I let out a ghastly sigh, only one a Princess could have for no reason at all but sheer worry, "Go rest, you may speak with him during supper." He pulled my hand away,
"Listen-"
"Ser Gajeel?" His head turned to me, "Have our Prince sleep for a bit, his dark circle worry me."
"Lisanna-" He was using my name, huh? I moved forward lips in a pout looking down to the child,
"The tailor will be here soon Natsu, you have to look suitable." I held back my hand to Mest, "Let us go?"
So, I am so sorry. I was going to post this on Friday along with my Hetalia fic but my internet went down and I was like what do I do now? I got it back the next day yeah but I was so jittery until I saw the four bars on my laptop! I promise to try next week but, I have school again so I am sorry in advance!
