Long delay I know I'm sorry but exams are over I'm done! Until next year… :(

Okay let's see what's going to happen.

Grey and Juvia turned another corner in the underground passage.

"Grey, Juvia thinks we are lost"

"I can't argue with that…I don't think anyone even knows about these passages!"

"Juvia agrees, we would have used these tunnels before had we known" Grey sighs waving his torch around the flames licking at the air as it burned, they had come to another fork.

"At least so far there hasn't been many traps" Grey says as a bit of a joke, Juvia laughs. That was a lie, there had been a new trap every five minutes they'd been down here, spike pits, ancient arrow traps, falling false floors, poison darts shot from stone statues, even a snake pit.

"Juvia recalls someone saying the sultan had a secret underground vault, do you think it is down here?" Juvia asks Grey a couple of minutes later.

"Perhaps, it makes sense all these traps have to protect something"

"What do you think is inside?"

"Well Freed said a lot of old texts had been rounded up and put inside, but I'd bet there would be a treasure trove inside too and who knows what else?" they continue as best they can in the labyrinth of tunnels and traps, after almost being burned alive by yet another trap they come across a large chamber.

"Grey look!" Juvia calls pointing.

"I see it" Grey says, they approach the huge doors which were locked by some kind of odd lock mechanism in a script Grey couldn't identify.

"I bet Princess Levy could read this" he says brushing off some of the dust.

"Do you think this is the vault?" Juvia asks in wonder.

"Well it better not be the exit or we are screwed"

Urgent tapping cause Levy and Sting to look at the door, Sting gets up and answers it, Rogue pushes in and slams the door shut.

"The Sultans coming now to check you consummated the marriage!" Rouge says urgently, Levy's jaw drops and Sting curses.

"Mess up the bed and make it look like you just put your clothes on!" Rouge says, Levy jumps on the bed and rips the sheets into a tangled mess to look slept in, the sheets mostly on the ground, Sting takes off his shirt, shoes, socks and pants leaving his underwear, Levy turning from them takes off her dress, wrapping herself in the sheet and lying on one side of the bed, mused her hair and tried to slow her heart rate enough to act asleep. Rouge ruffled Sting's hair so it looked like he had bed hair and threw his clothes into a more chaos disarray. They heard voices coming, Rouge hid in the wardrobe with Froshe, Sting closing the door just as the sultan walked in uninvited, Zeref who had obviously been trying to distract him followed after, Levy was doing a good job of acting asleep.

"Is something wrong my lord?" Sting asks, one hand on his hip, his other arm leaning on the wardrobe, the sultan looked around the room but didn't seem to find anything amiss.

"It appears not, I was a bit too intoxicated last night to tell you but congratulations on wedding my niece"

"It's a great honour sir" Sting says, Zeref give him a warning look and Sting knows what was coming next wouldn't be good.

"Not that I don't trust you Prince Sting but I haven't gotten to where I am by trusting easily, I want to check the bed"

"Princess Levy is still asleep" Sting says, knowing exactly what he wants to look for, Levy turns what appears to be peacefully in her sleep.

"Then wake her or I will" the sultan says dangerously low, Sting bits his tongue not missing the guards that stood outside. Sting was cursing internally, if the sultan found out he hadn't slept with Levy he'd demand a bedding, which was the consummation of marriage with witnesses, an archaic tradition not used by upper-class citizens in generations. The feeling of foreboding fell on his shoulders as he gently roused Levy, who sleepily opened her eyes, Levy noticed her uncle and jumped up in shock into the wall, pulling the sheets with her the red smear on the bed missed no one's eyes.

"Uncle! I'm sorry I'd have dressed!" Levy says looking all the while completely innocent, while she covered herself. The sultan narrowed his eyes but shrugged.

"Unnecessary girl, I've seen what I needed, still while I did demand you leave today, I want you all to stick around a little longer a new business venture has popped up and I'd like you, Lord Zeref's assistance"

"I'd be more than glad to help my lord" Zeref bows, the sultan sniffs indifferently and waltzes out of the room, Zeref has to follow but he closes the door after him.

Levy's legs give out and she falls to the floor.

"Oh god"

"Are you okay?!" Sting asks, Rouge comes out of the wardrobe and sees the mark on the sheet, his first look is to Sting but then to Levy who shows the cut to her finger, she'd used her anklet charm when she rolled to dig into her finger until she drew blood and wiped it on the sheet.

"You shouldn't have had to do that" Sting apologises.

"How did you know to do that?" Rouge asks in the next second, Levy smiles.

"I read a lot" Sting actually blushes as Levy grabs her dress and goes behind the changing shade.

"Thanks for the warning" Sting says to Rouge who nods.

"Don't worry about it" the door opens just then and a black haired man and a blue haired women enter without knocking, they see the lords.

"Excuse me what are you doing?" Sting asks, the black haired man sees the bed and the mark and before Sting can defend himself he's decked by the young man. Sting hits the floor painfully, Levy rushes out, pulling her dress down.

"Grey? Juvia?" she says surprised, Grey was about to go for Rouge a furious expression on his face as Levy understands what it looks like.

"No Grey stop!" Levy says before he hits Rouge.

"It isn't what it looks like!"

"It looks like these men viciously harmed you" Juvia says glaring and ready to attack as Sting gets back up with a bloody nose, Levy feels horrible and grabs a handkerchief holding it to his nose.

"No it looks like how we wanted my uncle to think it should look after my wedding" Levy says, Grey and Juvia look shocked.

"You were married?" she asks.

"Yes, to Sting here, don't worry he hasn't harmed me I cut myself so my uncle believed…"

"I get it" Grey says holding his hands up.

"Princess you should know all of Fairy Tail is waiting outside of the town to ambush you when you leave today"

"One why? Two we're not leaving today and three how did you get here?"

"Because we believe you to be held prisoner by these lords, why aren't you leaving? Through the underground tunnels" Juvia answers.

"I'm not really anymore they're trying to help, my uncle has some kind of business he wants Zeref's help with and what underground tunnels?" Levy asks.

"Okay stop with the three point discussion!" Rouge says.

"Start from the beginning" he continues to Grey as he closes the door.
