Relentless

Chapter VI: Becoming legend

WARNING: There will be a slight suggestive theme in this chapter; I have marked its start with the scene break mark that looks like this: -ooo- It's avoidable though. Its no were near a lime or a lemon so yeah, don't get your hopes up.

"Natsu, I Gran Doma, hereby utilize my power as the magic council chairman, to grant you the title of seat holder in the Fiore branch magic council, after having heard the willing commendations of Siegrain, holder of the seventh seat, Ultear Milkovich, holder of the eight seat and Yajima, holder of the sixth seat, I cannot but to agree whole heartedly with the choice of letting your voice be heard in this council, rise! With said chairman Doma, reached for the exclusive looking parchment that was handed over to him delicately by one of the many amphibious servants of the magic council. It was a hot summer's day in the city of Era, which served as the fabled and feared magic council. A huge mass of the magic worlds reporters, journalists or just simply fans, had gathered from all over Fore for this ceremony, after all this was quite the phenomenon, for a seventeen year old boy to suddenly become a council member was not something that happened often, with exception of Siegrain of course.

"Please came forward and place your signature in this parchment, which holds the muriatic deeds of eras long passed." The initial ritual started now, it was very simple, when the signature was written on the parchment with the arcane pencil, Holdir, the parchment which was enchanted open up a new file, so to say, and start recording the deeds and accomplishments of said person, who in this case was Natsu.

A few swift strokes with the pen Holdir and the registration were done. Natsu was assigned the eleventh seat of the council, which was the 'hot seat' if one would look in to things a bit more clearly. The eleventh seat didn't serve as a permanent place within the council, it was merely a testing place for newcomers to prove their worth, if they failed to do so, the seat and title would pass on to another mage who had passed the councils prowess test in regards of magic capabilities.

After all, a council member needed to be not only clever, but strong as well, that is the reason most of the members are wizard saints. And of course this where the case with Natsu started to differ. Natsu wasn't as smart as Siegrain, but in terms of strength they were more or less equal. The azure haired council member didn't like to share 'himself' on personal levels, but instead would attend to minor interviews and such, but that didn't mean he wasn't popular, and to say he was popular with the members of the fairer sex, would be a severe understatement, Siegrain's devilishly god looks and the sense elegance and mature behavior, made him the number one candidate for many girls perfect boyfriend lists.

However Natsu per say, was just as god looking as his partner, with a well-toned body musculature, an unique yet exotic hair color, Natsu was also on many lists himself. But the thing was that the council members were afraid, all of them. They were afraid of getting old. Not in the literate way but in a more media oriented sense, that's were Natsu came in, he was the 'star' to put it bluntly, because of his lack of concentration and excessive talkative nature it had been decided that he was to be the new face! The face which the children, teen agers and other youths, would admire. Being known as the Dragon of the magic world, by sending the pinkette to many dangerous jobs he had time after time shown the world that he was a force to be reckoned with! Be it dark guilds or demon worshippers, he would take them all on and come out on top. Effectively giving the council a new fresh facade to the world, not only for the citizens of the magical nation of Fiore, after all even the magic had superiors to look up to, formally known as the world council of the arcane arts, located far away in the Pergrande kingdom in the east.

They appreciated the new image of the council being more fresh and appealing. And not something that seems unnecessary strict or in need of scapegoats, Natsu was both their new face and show of power, in any case, the pinkette dragon slayer was their enforcer...

Chairman Gran Doma continued: "Behold the newest addition to the council Natsu Acrophia!" The Audience went into a mad cheer, the clapping and various whistles combined with countless flashes of the camera lenses showed to be an annoying spectacle, nonetheless the ceremony was now over and things could proceed in a somewhat normal manner.

Now it was Natsu's turn to speak, if not the fans and masses of reporters would think something was wrong, that would be nice to avoid, and there is a limit to how many magazines and agencies they could put in check. From the great podium at the front of the sole council building Natsu would speak, it was the same place he was located now with Gran Doma and the other council members who stood in a line behind them, giving them their full attention. The only thing that remained to be done now was for Natsu to take the speakers stage.

This was something quite new and different for Natsu; he had no problems what so ever speaking in groups of fifty or so, but almost a thousand people? The dragon slayer couldn't help but feel a bit nervous, it's only normal to feel that way. The chairman continued on with his old yet steadfast voice: "Now, our newest member would like to share a few words with you all!" It was now or never, the moment of truth was approaching ever so quickly. Natsu had actually practiced on this speech in his chambers for a few days now, it was his first impression to the world as a council member, he still had his old loyal fan base, but it wouldn't hurt to gain some more, yes?

Natsu went ahead and cleared his throat as Gran Doma stepped down from the stage and gestured for Natsu to take his place, taking a few breaths to calm himself and his nerves, what was wrong with him today? He hadn't felt this way before; it was a completely new sensation. He had to get his composure straight in order to deliver a speech of the expected quality his admirers wanted.

Natsu began with the following; "first of all I would like to thank everyone who has supported me, new and old fans alike, I sincerely thank you! The journey has been long but I was determined to change, change the magical world we live in! The dark ones are forming alliances with one and another, preventing us from striking them with the holy spear of justice, we won't falter, I as the newest council member has an ambition and a flaming passion to put an end to all who use magic selfish and dark purposes! Every single one of you out there," Natsu said with great seriousness as he pointed his index finger at the big mass which was the audience, "are all as equally important as any of us council members, for it is you who make out the magical body of Fiore, without you there would be no point in having a council to govern over magic in the first place, so thank you, for being there!" The crowd got rowdy once again as the thundering sounds of the sea of applauses hit Natsu's sensitive ears,

It was time to leave the stage and hand it over to chairman Gran Doma again, it seemed he had something to publicly announce.

The crowd were still going at it as the chairman took the podium, the sea of the previously clapping fans got silent in a matter of minutes as the chairman cleared his throat to begin speaking: "Thank you for attending at our little ceremony, for those who are invited, the banquette will be held in two weeks advance." With that said the daily duties of the magic council once again began.

The mass that was the audience started to scatter in order to fully enjoy their visit to Era, there were many tourist attractions and souvenir shops spread neatly around the vast city, and hopefully most of them wouldn't return empty handed.

-ooo-

Inside the pompous council compound, the daily routine had been re-established, in the midst of the commotion a seemingly young woman with dark purple colored hair which went down to her waist area, she was looking for someone. Soon the person she was looking for appeared in her sights.

"Ultear, I was looking for you," Siegrain passively exclaimed, without showing any emotion. "Walk with me!" She obeyed her master and they set off in a quick pace towards Siegrain's chambers. It had only been only a few hours since Natsu's instigation ceremony, and most of the council members were at the meeting hall discussing about the upcoming council meet in the evening, the topic was weapons of mass destruction. The magic satellite Eathherion and the Arma Ultima project were the two main competitors, as the council couldn't afford having them both live, it was simply too expensive. The banquette was only partly a celebration for Natsu's promotion, in reality they were going to 'lobby' for investors.

"Say, Siegrain-sama, Natsu-sama's speech was quite thrilling wasn't it?" They had been walking in complete silence; the situation was turning queer so Ultear decoded to 'defuse' it by bringing up Natsu. After all he was quite the hot topic at the moment.

Now that they were closing in on his chamber door Siegrain slowed the pace of his brisk stride and proceeded to answer, Ultear's question. "Well of course! I was the one who wrote it!" Not really caring if anyone heard that Siegrain, abruptly put his pacing at a stop, since they had already arrived. Fiddling around his pockets for the appropriate keys in order to gain entry, Ultear only smirked and continued to watch with profound amusement, noticing that the shimmering shackle of keys had dropped out of his pockets, Siegrain seemed stressed for some reason, well, she just had to find out exactly what?

"Ahh, god, why now? Ultear have you-" He didn't get to say anything more as the sounds of keys being lightly shaken got picked up by his ears. As he turned his head, the scene that got presented to him was Ultear gently gripping the key chain with her thumb and index finger, but the detail that piqued his interest on many levels, was the fact that Ultear had a very suggestive pout painted on her face, also, her snow colored short kimono was suspiciously more revealing in the bosom area, effectively revealing her very generous cleavage, with a supposedly aroused voice she spoke: "Here are the keys..." With another teasing jiggle of the key chain, Ultear made her master even more irked.

"This is not the time for games, Ultear! Hand them over, we have important things to discuss about Natsu's installation to the council!" But his words of reason went unheard as the unruly woman continued her teasing. "No~! That would be the boring way to go!" What was this woman playing at? Trying to shove her womanly vile in his face like that, well, Siegrain wouldn't say it wasn't working, he was in reality quite aroused, truth to be told, he was a man after all...

Walking at a slow pace just enough to trace her milky white hand along his muscular abdomen while chuckling suggestively, surprisingly enough, the scarce clad woman unlocked the chamber door and stepped inside, without switching on the lights Ultear proceeded to stand in the door way, a cunning yet teasing smirk played out on her lips. "If you want the keys, you will have to come and get them!" Then it happened, Ultear went ahead and did the sexiest act she could think of. She slowly started to play with keys in her fingers, showing of her dexterity, just as Siegrain tried to snatch them off of her hands, Ultear swiftly evaded and with a slow and mocking motion, which indicated that he had lost the battle for the keys, the way which the keys were headed did in fact surprise the azure haired council member, yet in a way not so much, this kind of play was the thing one expected from Ultear, if you knew her on personal levels.

The keys had been lost in between her impressive bust, meaning that she had made the cunning move of placing them 'inside' her cleavage. "Now, now, don't be shy please come inside!" That was the point of no return for the heavenly body magic user; he was too aroused to restrain himself. While being driven by lust, the azure haired mage, planted a gentle kiss on her neck, and then continued to passionately trace a pattern of caressing kisses down to her collar bone. Under this time it seemed that Ultear had held breath in, as she was very flustered, and was taking some fast paced small hitching breaths, this was gold to Siegrain's ears, hearing this heavenly sounds, he proceeded to initiate a passionate French kiss, further preventing her to breath, yes, he was something of a sadist.

After some time their passionate kissing came to an end, as they both were too flustered to keep on standing in the hall way of the council. Ultear took the initiative and took a gentle hold of Siegrain's hands and slowly reeled him inside his own chamber. "So that's what was on your mind, fine, Natsu can wait..." With that said the azure haired council mage went ahead and closed the door, after all, it wouldn't be nice if somebody walked in on his and Ultear's 'relaxation' session.

Little did he know that he was the one that was played, and not the other way around...

At a certain guild hall in Magnolia...

"GUYS! SHE IS BACK! BRACE FOR IMPACT, STOP FIGHTING! LOOK AT THE MESS, GOD, WE ARE TOAST!" The one relying this message for the entire guild was Macao and Wakaba, the two senior mages of the guild didn't fear many things in their lives, but one thing was indeed very scary, that was losing your life which you had held safe and sound four many years, the fury of one woman that had recently passed the S-class test of the guild, her hair resembling both the color of passionate love and sheer might. Scarlet, that was her name, Erza scarlet, the one sole female of the guild that brought the males down to their knees begging for the sparing of their lives, well, there was another female tempest in said guild but she was currently out on a job, a ten year quest, if the rumors around the place was anything to go by, as the other s-class mages wouldn't say a word, nor would the master under the name of Dreyar.

Wooden tables and stools were flipped back into place as the fear of the scarlet tempest grew more intense by every heavy 'clank' of her armor clad steps, they were nearing, which indicated that soon somebody would at least break a jaw or two, she wasn't very sociable on the early mission reports, nor would things get any better by the fighting that had been taking place some mere minutes ago, the initial fight had been started by Gray and Cana, they had gotten into an argument about Cana's card magic being obsolete against Gray's ice make, with the former being a stripper extraordinaire and the latter being the constantly stoned by her frequent alcohol intakes, they both had very bad reputation's to begin with...

"CRAP, SHE IS HERE, EVERYBODY STAND IN ATTENTION!" Macao was serious, however it beat him and all the other males of the guild how a seventeen year old girl could scare them witless. Well, they were about to be 'reminded' any way so it didn't really matter.

The footsteps came to a stop as every sign of breathing stopped; she was probably very pissed, as Erza didn't triumphantly barge in the swing doors at the guild entrance. Something was wrong, very wrong, and that would affect the others in a very bad way, if not the situation was handled correctly. Erza didn't take nicely on people talking back at her.

Suddenly a steel plated hand was placed on the top of the right bar door, this scared everyone making them yelp in terror, the force applied when the hand touched down was immense, many small cracks were formed around the area which were held, threatening to break the whole thing if not let go instantly.

Soon the rest of the female knight followed suit, and there she now stood, passively judging, evaluating and analyzing the males that were now standing in the most disciplined and fine row, no signs of the previous fight were visible. When faced with a common threat even the males of Fairy tail would use the alien term called 'team work' Such was the intensity of Erza's wrath, standing before it alone would result in a swift perishing from the mortal realm, well, she wouldn't kill them of course, almost...

"Erza, y-you are back!" The ice mage said, trying to hide his stammering as much as possible, it didn't work, even if it did, the beads of sweat running down his fore head would work against his favor. In the midst of the cleaning and organization it had been decided that Gray would be the one to handle the situation. After all he had started the fight, and he was the one that was on best terms with Erza at the moment, as he hadn't stripped in front of her in a while. So letting Gray take the aggression of the Scarlet haired woman was the plan. In the end it always came down to every man for himself...

"Yes, I am back, now, where is the master, I need to report about the mission!" Erza was unusually down at the moment, this meant that she would explode at any miss guided sentence, but what could have made the Scarlet knight so pissed off? What if the unthinkable happened, what if Erza, the mighty Titania, had failed her mission? Carried by sheer curiosity Gray went ahead and asked about the mission's results, not knowing he had stepped on land mine…

"So Erza, did you fail your mission or did you-"He was unfortunately cut short while being mid explanation, Erza mood had just gone from bad to even worse! With a fiery temperament Erza replied with the following to Gray's remark: "What exactly do you mean failed, why I would fail a mission and bring shame to Fairy tail's name? And for the last time don't present yourself to me without any clothes on!"

"S-sorry, Ma'am, it won't happen again!" Gray really had screwed up this time, why did he ask such a stupid question to the Titania? Damn, did he feel ridiculed right now! Erza wasn't done with Gray yet, she was going to take a few practice swings at his head for ruining her day! "Come back Gray, did you think I would let it slip that easily, ready yourself for the punishment that is awaiting you!" As Erza swung her blade, Gray noticed that her blade was broken; it was literally shattered in half! Why was it in such a bad state of condition? Needing an answer to his damned curiosity Gray went ahead and asked Erza mid sprint why her blade was broken.

"I am sorry, forgive me I won't strip," Erza just continued to chase him around the guild; she was the number one follower of the guild laws, when they were broken Erza was sure to retaliate with 'punishment's'. "Erza, w-why is your blade broken? Did something happen or-"His surprise got the better of him and the ice mage, just stared at the mighty Titania with disbelief. Erza had gotten all gloomy in an instant upon hearing those words leave Gray's mouth. Did he say something wrong?

"On the mission, it happened, just as I had made my one hundredth kill with my favorite blade, it…it…broke, shattered! And when I went to the black smith to get my refund, he told that I was too harsh and rough with my blades, on top of that I didn't get my money back! Do you….UNDERSTAND HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL!?" Gray nearly shat a brick, Erza's temper tantrums were horrid, and why was it his turn to deal with them? The crimson flames engulfing her presence like a menacing aura was scary, her hair seemed too had gotten a life of its own too; it was flailing all over the place! Her eyes had turned blood red, indicating that her wrath was near being unleashed upon the world!

The youngest member of the Strauss family had been passively watching this whole ordeal, with a coy smile plastered on her face, Lisanna Strauss, was preparing Erza's favorite food, or rather, snack. Namely known as strawberry cheese cake, Erza adored the dish with her whole being and would purr like a kitten when the cake touched her delicate taste buds, Lisanna had taken some of her free time to master the dish, after all, it would be pretty bad if one of the guild members had to get injured or worse…

"Erza, would you prefer your cheese cake with or without strawberry sauce on, say?" Like nothing had happened the scarlet haired knight completely forgot about Gray and angled her steps towards the bar counter where Lisanna was cheerily waving at her. Taking the closest and best bar stool in the proximity of her reach, Erza sat down with a sigh. "I'll take mine with straw berry sauce on, please! A normal cheese cake just won't cut it today…" Lisanna was a very compassionate fellow and lent her ear to listen to all her problems, Erza must have had a very bad day if the usual order won't suffice.

"Here you go, hope you enjoy it!" Lisanna had put the plate with her cheese cake in front of the downed knight, who used the cutlery in front of her and dug in on the dish. Only a few minutes passed until the guild once again called forth on their Titania, this time it was Makarov who wanted a word with the fairy queen.

"Erza dear, come inside my office, I have some words I need to pass on to you, please hurry!" Erza was far from pleased to have been interrupted in only real pleasure in the world; even so, she did what the master told her.

Inside Makarov's office...

"Erza, I figure you already know why you are called here, don't you?" Erza had her suspicions, though not really sure about the specifics, it was a no brainer that she was to embark on another mission.

"Yeah, it's probably about another mission, S-class I assume?" Erza was fabled for her outstanding thought process, it was but inevitable that she had already figured out what the master was going to say.

"Hmm, that's not quite right, there is no mission to speak of instead you are to go to a banquette!" Half way through his sentence the master had taken an unnecessary turn of cheeriness, a banquette? The Titania hadn't heard about a mission like that.

"What do you mean banquette? There is no request in the guild that has a banquette as its parameters!?" Erza was very strict in regards of mission files and specifics, she always needed the info in beforehand to be able to judge and analyze her opponents.

"I know, just see it as a request from me, you need some rest, after all we can't have you be burnt out from excessive work, can we?" Aw, that was just so sweet of him, but Erza didn't appreciate lies, if Makarov didn't want to go that badly then he could just said so...

"Thank you master," With that being said, Makarov handed over the invitation, having been hand written by Makarovs old friend Yajima, Makarov didn't want to leave Fairy tail out of the picture so he decided that Erza would represent Fairy tail in his place, that was for the best, because in exactly two weeks he was to be terribly sick, and unfortunately unable to attend! "W-Wha, the magic council! In Era, it's a banquette in Era?! Why didn't you say so? If that's the case I must decline! I am not worthy!"

"Stop that gibberish, if I say one of my mages is taking a break they are, Period! Now go buy a nice dress, because you are going!" This woman doesn't have any confidence in her looks does she? Makarov could only disagree, she was gorgeous! And got breasts! What was there else to have?

"Yes, master!" Erza said apologetically, while Makarov nodded in approval. "Go and have a good time, I have noticed that you have been putting amusement aside lately, that's bad for your heart, you know!"

'Leave it to the master to cheer you up; he is truly the best master!' Erza thought fondly as she walked out of Makarov's office in a considerably better mood than before!

Two weeks have come and gone, in Era...

"Am I doing this right? It's really tricky but I think I got it now!" In a slow paced Waltz Natsu and Ultear was practicing the last small details on Natsu's dancing skills, he was to be the supposed star of the banquette and before all the food, Natsu had to be social and mingle away with everyone. It wasn't a secret that Natsu felt slightly out of place at the banquette, all the top tier elite people from all over Fiore would show up, and Natsu would have to talk to them all, no, correction they would want to talk to him!

"Yes, yes, that's it, you haven't trampled my feet since yesterday, if you keep this up you will get every woman there to sleep with you." As she said that Ultear gave Natsu a suggestive wink, but as dense as the dragon slayer was, he didn't notice, of course. "Yeah," He said as he grinned. "But it's not my fault if I end up kicking them out of the bed though!"

Siegrain who had been leaning on one of the highly decorated walls of the room they were currently in found Natsu's choice of words very amusing to say at least. Kick them out of the bed? That was a good one! While catching his breath after his sudden burst of uncontrolled laughter, he spoke to the dancing duo: "Natsu try to not to just hold Ultear's waist, most women appreciate it, though don't get to frisky! Or you'll get slapped!" What Siegrain was saying was true, Ultear found it pretty dull that Natsu didn't make any moves on her, not in an obvious aspect of course, but why didn't he trace his hands along her back and butt? It was okay if the dancing pair had known each other for a long time, Natsu had been with Siegrain since he came to the council and soon after she came along, what the problem was didn't come to Ultear.

"Natsu, use your left hand and wrap it around her back, then proceed to put your right hand on her left shoulder, things will be a lot smoother this way, and of course any woman that Natsu might dance with, thanks to the slightly closer proximity of the dance. Siegrain knew this thanks to him being a veteran when it came to socializing and manipulating, as his job as council member. But it would prove to be a challenge, Ultear was wearing an open up front and back dress, colored in a dazzling violet color. Her front and back were open revealing a fair amount flawless milky skin.

"Natsu, you are quite good at dancing you know! Come over to my chamber, we could dance some more! After all the banquette is starting soon and practice makes perfect!" Siegrain snorted at her last remark, practice was for the weak! Individuals like himself and Natsu were already gifted with strong magic and skill, they needed no brute training, but to only refine and master their magic. Training was brutish and laid back!

"Your chambers? Why don't you come to mine, as they are the closest to the ball room, which we later will trek to eventually?" Ha, it seemed he still was as thick headed as ever. What Ultear was suggesting didn't have anything to do with convenience! She simply wanted to get in his pants.

"That…Could also work, I'll come over then!" Ultear didn't understand why was Natsu so hard to work with? He just didn't get what she was getting at and that frustrated her, Siegrain was as good as snared around her pinky finger, now all that were left was for Natsu to get reeled in too! For everything to work that was needed…

A few hours later

A flash of red crimson hair trekked by the various visitors, they were lining up to take part in the fabulous banquette that was hosted by the magic council. As a part of a guild which had connections with council Erza Scarlet could bypass everyone else as she was considered a 'VIP' the mere though was ridiculous, what was so significant about her?

For the upcoming evening of festivities Erza was sporting a one piece onyx colored dress, with no laces around her shoulders. It was far more comfortable this way, as the laces tend to make her skin itch and become sensitive. Also the added risqué of the dress made the men stare and the members of the fairer sex envious. It had an explanation though. Erza was a natural, her body was one many women would literally kill for, the perfect curves and the impressive bust were tightly hugged by the onyx dress, but didn't quite pass as indecent as the initial dress part didn't reveal any of her thighs or legs, the dress went down all the way down to the high heeled shoes, to put it simply she was dazzling. Her choice of clothing was giving her the spotlight as she paced towards the entrance where she would show her invitation. She couldn't wait to see if there was a an exotic type of cheese cake at the banquette, after all there is supposed to be a vast amount of rare foods and such, and to make it even better, this was a banquette hosted by the magic council so the expectations were high.

"Dame Scarlet, I presume?" The butler said. His clothing was quite amusing; the familiarity with a penguin was so close. He continued to speak in his monotone voice. "Please hand over the required invitation!" Erza did as she was told and passed on her invitation, the golden paper gleaming under the reflected light of the very expensive looking crystal chandeliers inside the ball room. "Everything is in order, please have a nice stay and make sure to enjoy yourself to the fullest of your capabilities!"

Erza was nervous, this was one of the few instances when her pulse actually spiked. The mighty Titania knew that in a few mere steps all of the eyes was going to be on her, she wasn't a 'regular' visitor at the council, she hadn't been to any fancy parties before, and it was well known fact that festivities like these were battlefields of gossip and back talking, only silver tongued aristocrats could have a shot at surviving in these situation.

A young butler with chestnut eyes smiled at her and offered a drink, Erza didn't want to impolite so she accepted the invitation and took the drink from his hands. When the deed was done he simply walked away with his silver platter containing the rest of the drinks. Erza was just about to join her first group of jolly nobles and highly positioned mages to start mingling away but something got in her way, in everyone's way…

In an instance, the lights were out and everyone including Erza was engulfed in darkness, various mall shrieks of hysteria could be heard from all over the ball room, the fairy queen didn't even get a chance to get startled as the lights were back on in a matter of seconds. Complete and utter silence welcomed Erza as she stared out in the sea of guests. Her instincts were screaming for her to re-quip into something that would give her some authority over the situation, like a suit of armor would.

Every single one of the guests proceeded to completely stay in place, frozen and scared. An ear deafening silence loomed over the vast ball room.

It seemed her instincts were right as a man a few meters away just out of the blue collapsed! The cries of traumatized guests echoed through the banquette halls, being frozen in place, and unable to do anything Erza could only watch as the women in the masses of the sight of the blood, yes crimson very real blood. The scarlet life essence of the man continued to pour down on to the floor, painting the area around him red, he was bleeding out and fast.

Erza couldn't help but to notice his distinctive hair color, were had she seen him before...?

AN: And done, yup, this was by far the easiest chapter to write by far! Well hope you enjoyed the small scene I told you guys about in the beginning. Now things have gotten truly interesting, and the plot is going smooth. Oh yeah, Siegrain and Ultear have surely done stuff like that when they were in council, I am sure of it. They are by no means in love, which would be stupid; Ultear is simply manipulating him by giving him the impression of being in charge.

With that said, have a nice weekend.

Please leave a line or two, it means a lot to me!

PS: If by any chance you don't what the Pergrande kingdom is, you can check out its location by the link in my profile, there will be a map of the entire continent which Fairy tail plays out in, and it is canon.
