Thank you for reviewing and the huge number of people following my story, enjoy the next chapter!
Without knocking her uncle entered, Levy turned to him, and quickly got off her bed and stood, he hadn't visited her in a long time, she was nervous as to what he wanted.
"Most of my subjects bow or curtsy to me" her uncle says, Levy swallowed her pride and curtsied to him, to which he smiled pleased.
"Ah Levy you've grown into a beautiful young woman" Levy having never heard such praise from him, didn't know what to do so she kept her head down.
"You'll make a pleasing wife" to that she looks up, he grins.
"Yes I've decided you should be married to a very rich man, who will pay quite handsomely for you, especially once he sees you" Levy looked back at the ground trying to hold her resolve, she knew this would happen it was the only logical explanation to why her uncle kept her alive.
"He'll be arriving in three days, then you'll be his problem"
"Yes uncle" was her reply, he nodded pleased she would not be difficult.
"Good I'll leave you then, with your pet and your books" he sneers turning and leaves with his personal guard, the door shuts behind him and Levy climbs back on her bed and leans against the wall, the sun shone through the window, there was no breeze though, Lily sensing her distress nudged her and she rubbed his ears.
"It'll be okay Lily" she says but she knew that was a lie she was being sold to man she didn't know, would be forced to marry him, bare his children, Lily would probably not be allowed to stay with her and she would never see Lucy again, unable to keep her emotions in check Levy curled her legs to her and sobbed.
Levy couldn't even touch her food when Lucy brought it, she emotionlessly told her what was going to happen to Lucy's horror, she breaking protocol hugged Levy as hard as she could and Levy tried not to cry as she hugged her back. That night in the dark Levy still stared out the window at the cold night's air she inhaled wishing she was out there under the stars, the full moon shone and she embraced its light, eventually crawling under a sheet she closed her eyes and slept.
Lucy raced out of the palace as fast as she could without looking suspicious, once she was on the street she bolted all the way to her boyfriend's bar which was just out of town she knocked on the door out of breath, Natsu opened it letting her in closing it after her everyone was there, they stopped talking when they saw her and she took the time to catch her breath.
"We need to move tonight, the sultan is selling the princess off to a rich man, he arrives in two days, we need to get her out now!" she tells them Natsu's eyes harden and nods, turning to the others.
"We've prepared for this" a red-haired woman says to them, Erza.
"We attack the palace tonight!" she announces. The bar cheers in acknowledgment, they knew what this meant and they were ready.
