Thank you people who are reviewing it's such a shock and burst of happiness whenever I get them, I always take your ideas to heart so you never know what may happen :)
Next chapter up enjoy!
Lucy raced to their friends, Hibiki had just managed to get the last of the chains off Erza.
"What happened?!" she demands.
"We were captured, they calculated out trajectory and paraded us to be bait to lure out Fairy Tail" Erza says.
"More importantly what happen with you? How did Princess Levy get captured by the Lords?" Yukino asks.
"We have no idea, she stole one of the camels and disappeared last night, we came right here when we realised"
"Well she showed up with the Lords already, but they were acting as if they were escorting her home and then Cobra saw her anklet and thought she was a member of Fairy Tail, she ran but they caught her, she negotiated for our freedom, she told them she got us to make it look like she was kidnapped instead of her running away from marrying the Lords" Jet says.
"Her uncle will kill her!" Lucy cries, Natsu hugs her to keep her from falling.
"She kept us alive, and she's giving us time to disappear, the Sultan won't care what she says, he'll still order our deaths" Mira says, Wendy cried, Gajeel and Laxus stewed but Gray was silently thinking, the other caravans of Fairy Tail arrived one by one and each where explained the situation.
"What do we do Gramps?" Lisanna asked, Gramps and Mavis shared a look.
"I wish I knew child" he says honesty.
"I know what I'm doing" Gray says, they turn to him.
"What?" Lucy asks.
"I'm going to the palace, I swore to follow her, so if she's there so am I" he says.
"I'm with frostbite" Gajeel agrees.
"Then I'm going too!" Lucy says.
"I'm with her" Natsu says.
"We owe her a debt" Erza agrees.
"Count me in" Mira says.
"Yep" Yukino agrees, Gramps and Mavis watch as everyone agrees to go, they look at each other.
"I wouldn't mind going too" Mavis says with a smile, Gramps shakes his head.
"Alright you brats, let's go make sure our Princess is safe"
"Aye Sir!" they yelled.
"Anyway, Levy left Lily" Romeo says patting the panthers head he looked sad without Levy.
"Well we can't have that" Laxus says with a smile, he put Lily up on his camel and jumped up after him.
"The caravan's aren't going to be able to keep up with us!" Freed says.
"Warren you and your team stay with the caravans, follow at a safe pace understood?" Gramps orders Warren, Max, Laki and Nab agree.
"To the capital!" Gramps yells, Fairy Tail echo his cry and they race towards their goal, it would take days but they would do it.
Levy jumped down on her own when they reached the Palace days later, she marched herself up the stairs the men having to scurry after her, the guards opened the door for her as they always did and she walked into the throne room. Her uncle was on the throne, the adviser who he had been talking to was dismissed as soon as he noticed, everyone was dismissed except for the three lords, two body guards and two bounty hunters who remained in the centre of the room. Levy stopped a few metres from the throne, her uncle got off the throne and approached her, she knew his hit was coming he slapped her hard across the cheek it echoed in the hall, Levy turned her head back and waited.
"You bitch!" he yelled.
"Uncle" she says curtsying to him, he sneers.
"Don't give me that, do you have any idea the trouble you've caused?!"
"I take full responsibility for any trouble I've caused" she says keeping her curtsy in place it was painful but she did it.
"I know you will" he says pacing in front of her.
"We'll start with those bandits, I want them executed!" Levy stands again.
"They are not at fault uncle, I ordered them to make it seem like I was kidnapped, I did it so I would not be forced to marry the Lords you wanted me too, please do not punish them for being misguided" Levy felt it a lot more when he slapped her again, it was almost a punch but Levy forced herself not to cry or make a noise.
"Don't lie to me! You have no such connections!"
"My servant was a member of Fairy Tail, Jellal and Lyon can corroborate this" the Sultan looks over at the bounty hunters.
"It's true she was a member" Jellal confirms, the sultan seems thoughtful.
"And what did you give these bandits in order for them to do as you asked?" the Sultan demands.
"A small sack of gold, stolen from you" she says, his eyes narrow again.
"So you stole from me too"
"Yes, my lord" she says not willing to call him uncle again, it would not appease him, she kept her eyes down. He goes back to pacing in front of her thoughtfully.
"Why did you run? Was it just to escape the marriage?" he asks, Levy had to be careful unsure if he was believing her or not.
"Since I had no other use as a Princess I wanted to leave, do something else with my life" she says.
"Was my keeping you alive not enough?" he hisses.
"I apologise for my selfishness" she says, he was pacing again, behind the princess, Rouge had a firm grip on Stings arm to keep him from defending the Princess, Lyon was the same for Jellal, Zeref wasn't sure how to feel but he didn't like the Sultan mishandling the Princess so.
"Lucky for you I still need you alive" the Sultan says out loud.
"You are going to marry one of those Lords, perhaps tomorrow, I don't care and then I want you out of my palace!"
"Whatever you wish my lord" she says softly, he nods approving.
"Until tomorrow then, I want you locked in your room, I want your chain reattached and no food!" he orders, two guards re-enter the throne room and a man comes up to the Princess, he gently leads her away, Levy does not look to at anyone as she leaves.
She is put in her room, a new chain attacked, the man who escorted her was kind, being gentle with chaining her, even making sure it was on her other ankle so she could still have her anklet.
"Thank you" she says, he bows to her.
"I am not permitted to bring food, but I shall bring you something to drink" he says, Levy nods seeing the cross scar on his cheek she wondered what happened to him.
"What's your name?" she asks.
"My name is Mest Dorenbolt your highness" he says with another bow.
"Nice to meet you" she says, he half smiles at her before leaving. Levy sat on her bed and touched her cheek it was red from being hit so hard and it stung, Levy leaned back on her bed, it felt so strange to her now even though she was only gone a short time, she thought of her friends and Lily and she struggled not to cry.
