There's probably a few grammar/spelling errors and stuff but that's okay right…? Yeah… #whatever
Enjoy the third chapter of KINGDOM!
-In the Palace-
The four boys were in the study, Gray and Natsu were napping on the couches, Gajeel was reading a book, and Jellal was sitting at his desk procrastinating about kingly stuff. Their naps and procrastination were interrupted by the household butler.
Erza stood in front of the boys with a small smile on her face. "Boys, I'd like to introduce a new employee we have here. Juvia, get over here!" Erza beckoned for someone to come from around the corner.
From the corner came a blue haired woman dressed in a blue dress that reached to the floor with cap-sleeve shoulders and a sweetheart neckline. "This is Ms. Juvia Lockser, she will be helping me around the house a little. She doesn't speak English fluently, but she will try her best!"
"Hola, mi nombre es Juvia…"* Juvia paused for a moment. "Juvia apologizes, Juvia do not speak English very good." Gray who had been watching from afar turned around.
"Mi nombre es Gray, estos otros son Gajeel , Natsu y Jellal"** Gray spoke in fluent Spanish, shocking most of the room. "Por cierto , eres muy lindo"*** He said with a smirk, Juvia blushed a bright red.
A/N: Juvia speaks Spanish (because 'Juvia' is derived from the Spanish word 'lluvia' which means Rain). Gray speaks Spanish because he can hahah! (GO GRUVIAAA!)
Translations:
*Hello, my name is Juvia…
**My name is Gray, these others are Gajeel, Natsu and Jellal
***By the way, you are very cute
"The hell are you saying Fullbuster?!" Gajeel exclaimed angrily, trying to comprehend what Gray said.
"Maybe you should learn Spanish, dipshit."
"Enough! Juvia is he threatening you?" Erza asked with legitimate concern, while holding Gray in a headlock..
"Nonono Juvia is fine… Um, your clothes Gray-sama…?" Gray looked down to fine him down to his underwear, again.
"Jesus Christ Gray, you can't just strip in front of a girl!" Natsu got up from his seat to butt head with the shirtless boy.
"Unless she asks for it, gihihihi!" Gajeel adds from the back of the room. Gray and Juvia blushed slightly.
"Don't worry Ms. Lockser, these kind of things happen all the time…" Jellal added while watching his younger siblings embarrass the kingdom.
~Later~
"I'm goin' into town, anyone wanna come with?" Gajeel announced while putting his usual iron studded shirt.
"I'll go too." Natsu said while putting his sandals on and grabbing his blue cat, Happy.
"Why can't you just wear regular shoes? Are you a fucking dumbass?"
"I choose not to wear regular shoe, asshole."
"Well you know what, I think-"
"JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE!" Gray shouted from the couch he was sleeping on.
Natsu and Gajeel finally got to the town after almost half an hour pointless fighting. They both went their separate ways, Gajeel to the blacksmith shop and Natsu to find food.
Natsu sped his way through the market trying to find meat for him and Happy, in the process he knocked someone over.
"Ow!" Natsu turned around and saw a blonde woman dressed in an expensive light pink dress. He helped her get back up.
"Thanks, and next time please watch where you are going. I really have no time for annoying assholes." The woman said rudely.
"Oh, sorry… Next time I'll be sure to avoid the spoiled bitches when I'm going around town." Natsu retorted back, causing the woman to tsk in annoyance.
"Don't you know? I'm Lucy Heartfilia, daughter of the richest man in Fiore. Who are you to talk to me like that?" Natsu laughed.
"Nice to meet you Lucy, I'm Natsu Dragneel!" Lucy's eyes widen.
"As in… One of the princes of Magnolia…?" Natsu nodded while grinning. "O-oh my god! I'm so sorry for being so rude to you! I'm just having-"
"A bad day?" Natsu interrupted her. "It's fine, we all have them. I'm not feeling so hot myself as of lately."
"What for?"
"Um, you know Gray Fullbuster?" Lucy nodded. "Well, him being the dumbass he always is accidently got us forced into a deal with our other brother Jellal that we all have to find a fiancee. So far, I haven't had much luck."
"Aw, don't worry there has to be someone! Anyways, let me buy you some lunch as an apology." Natsu lit up in excitement, so did Happy.
"Really? Thanks! Me and Happy are starving!"
"No problem! Also… Can I ask you something kind of personal?"
"Umm… Sure, what?"
"Have you always had pink hair?" Lucy asked barely being able to contain her giggles.
"IT'S SALMON!" Natsu exclaimed in anger with Lucy giggling next to him.
-At the Blacksmith Shop-
Gajeel occasionally volunteers at Metalicana's blacksmith shop under the identity of "Kurogane" to conceal his royalty. He had developed a passion for metals, especially iron, from an early age. He has been volunteering secretly for the past 5 years.
"Gajeel! Put some more heat on that metal, dammit!" A rusty voice called from the back of the shop.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it old man!" Gajeel shouted while wiping the sweat off his forehead. After the sword was complete and drying, he walked out to the front for a break. "Damn bastard works me like a slave."
"Salve est nomen meum Levy… Est nice quod tibi in occursum..."* A blue haired girl muttered while walking with her nose in a dusty old book. (A/N: *This is latin: Hello my name is Levy… It is nice to meet you…) She didn't even seem taller than 5'7" and was wearing a simple ¾ sleeve orange dress. With her book in hand, she of course caused some mayhem.
"WATCH OUT!"
"LOOK OUT LADY!"
"Bitch! You had better watch out the next time you walk around reading a fucking book!"
Many more shouts similar to this were heard as the petite blue haired girl crossed the street to the side the blacksmith shop was on.
"Salve est nomen meum Levy, est nice quod tibi in occursum! Ugh. this is so difficult!" She said. Gajeel noticed she was also struggling with a larger backpack that appeared to be stuffed with books.
"Gihi… Having some trouble Shrimp?" Gajeel asked while leaning out the window.
The girl blushed slightly. "A little… And my name is Levy!"
"Whatever, you say Princess. By the way, my name's Gajeel, Gajeel Redfox." Gajeel teased the girl as he climbed out the window to help her. "What the hell type of language were you speaking just now? And why do you have so many books?"
"Ahaha… I was speaking Latin, and I have so many books because I own a bookstore. But the ones I have now are just for light reading."
"Light?! These are heavy as hell!" Levy sighed and the two walked to her bookstore in silence.
"Here ya go, a million tons worth of books for one tiny Shrimp." Gajeel mocked her for her height yet again. Levy gave the raven haired man her best death glare, only for her to earn another laugh from him.
"That's not funny Gajeel! I can't help my height!" Levy furiously punched Gajeel with all her might.
"Ooooow! It hurts sooo bad!" Gajeel smirked at the fuming bluenette. "Lemme ask you something Levy…"
"Fine, what?"
"Do you learn different languages to hide the fact that you're so short?" Gajeel erupted into laughter. Levy huffed for the millionth time.
"Why are you so mean?"
"Because I have three stupid brothers."
"Oh really? What's so bad about them?"
"Well… two are exact opposites of each other and one is so proud of himself because he's king of Magnolia." Levy looked at Gajeel in disbelief.
Levy set a book down and spoke slowly, "Okay… so are you trying to tell me that your brother is King of Magnolia as in, Jellal Fernandes…? And you by some chance are a prince?"
"Yeah, why is that so unbelievable?"
"You two don't even have the same last names!"
"We're adopted! And so what if we don't have the same last names, maybe I wanted to keep the memory of my real parents alive." Levy went silent.
"... So am I supposed to bow down to you or something?"
"I guess if you wanna… I enjoy seeing a nice ass occasionally." Gajeel smirked as he watched Levy try to process what she just heard. "Shrimp?"
"GAJEEL YOU'RE SUCH A PERVERT!" Levy raged at him while continuously punching the prince. During his beating, she didn't hear the shop door open.
"Oh… Am I interrupting something, Levy-chan…?" Levy blushed at the sight of her best friend Lucy Heartfilia with her hand held by a pink haired man.
"H-h-hi Lu-chan, um who's tha-"
"SALAMANDER?/GAJEEL?" The two boys shouted at the same time. Gajeel noticed the hand holding and laughed.
"Damn Natsu, I wouldn't have guessed you got a girlfriend so soon!" Natsu and Lucy blushed and immediately separated.
"WE'RE NOT DATING!" The pair exclaimed with red faces.
