Okay let's get this over with so I can rip this dress to shreds." Gajeel said walking put of a bush. They pair had scoped out the area and now had to hide from the people and smoothly make an entrance.
"You rip that and I swear to Mavis." Levi said shaking his head
"Fine fine but your keeping your promises." Gajeel said smirking on how many things she would benefit from this.
"I will." He said rubbing the back of his neck.
The two walked over to the entrance road and walked straight, and proper to the gates.
Gajeel handed the servant the invitation showing she was invited and Levi was her loyal servant which he knew she would play up all night.
The man was very suspicion because of Gajeel's piercings and gruff attitude but Levi was surprised by how proper she could act when she wanted to, he image need her doing enough undercover work she could actively be anyone.
The two walked in to the biggest surprise of their life, the room was gorgeous didn't have a singular flaw, but neither did the people inside, looks wise at least.
Most of the women were much taller then Gajeel and much more feminine. Gajeel looked around and realized that, she started to adjust the dress in whatever way she could, trying to hide herself or cover what she could, being in a guild she wasn't supposed to look proper or ladylike for anything ever.
The men were all more thin and almost had not muscle or fat they all kinda reminder Levi and Gajeel or twigs. Hell they both (Gajeel mainly) could use them as work out equipment.
When Levi noticed Gajeel messing with her dress he grabbed her hand which was of corse directly on her chest, they both blushed and he grabbed his hand away. "First I didn't mean to do that, second stop you look amazing." Levi said resisting the urge to kiss her seeing he was her 'servant'.
Many people were just mingling at the moment seeing that the dance hadn't started and many were just comparing how much money and power they had.
"Excuse me I would like to know who you would be, a lovely lady such as yourself must be someone worth speaking to." A man Gajeel didn't recognize said falling to one knee proposal style.
"I am Gajeel, Gajeel Redfox I rule many places in Fiore such as most of Magnolia." Gajeel lied, bowing herself not knowing she should have curtsied.
"Oh wow I must say I didn't think that you would have such a high social standing I have never heard or seen you before malady." He said bowing his head for the third time according the Levi.
"May I ask who might you be." She said politely. The man chuckled at this.
"I am king Samuel the king of this place." He said smirking. The pair froze, they had never herd his name or seen his face so this wasn't good both knew that. Gajeel recognized his face but couldn't put her finger on it until now, but what she could tell he was not who he said he was she was certain of that.
"Oh fuck." Gajeel said under her breath only audible to a dragon slayer or dog.
"Oh the music is starting may I ask for the first dance." He said bowing for the fourth time neither knew if he was just overdoing it. Either way he looked so punchable like that.
"Why thank you." Gajeel said taking his hand. Gajeel pushed a small strand of hair out of her face Turing on the lacraima they decided to use for recording and communication.
Samuel place his hand right above her waist sending making the dragon slayer shiver. She place her hands in the proper place and started to dance.
He spun her body twice and then while she was in the middle of the second extra spin she stepped on his feet with her spiked heal no less.
"Oh I'm so sorry sir" she lied. While all she could think of was "yeah that's right fuck you and your tiny dick." Even her mind was unladylike.
"It's fine." He whimpered out. Information gained he's weak as hell. Levi has had his foot stepped on more times than he could count by Gajeel wearing all the four shoes she owns and they are all worse they were either heavy or spiked, or both.
The kings hand lowered on her waist and he got closer to her whispering in just the right ear the lacramia was right next to his sickening lips.
" you look so fun to play with?" He whispered slimily
Gajeel froze at his words but as the song ended he didn't let go of her. As four women slid over and begged for his hand Gajeel stood still frozen in a odd foreign emotion known as fear.
"No I must refuse I have chosen her to dance with for the night." He said smoothly.
The girls winded and pouted, but that was a front they glared eyes full of hatred at Gajeel for a good 15 minutes.
As the music started again. Gajeel unfroze her body and started to slowly dance.
"How about you tell me who you really are you don't seem like anyone who could have such a high social standing such." The man said catching on the her game, "plus with that rugged face, short body, and such a nasty attitude it practically surrounds you, how could you be a part of my social class." He snorted offending her in each and every way.
Gajeel held back the urge to kill him and hide the body by sticking to the plan.
"Oh but my short body has much to offer." She said pulling the top of her dress down just before it because to much showing off what she could. It pained her every second of this but the sooner she could see this man suffering the sooner she could have free food, and a free month of Levi, she smirked in her head at the thought but quickly remembered what she was doing and batted her thick eye lashes.
Over by the side of the room Levi was holding himself back from killing this man and leaving with his girl. He pulled himself together and used morse code to tell Gajeel to hurry it up tapping on the lacraima, she only knew the one fraise because Levi assumed teaching her morse code would be the same as teaching a baby bird to fly, it requires an expert.
Back with Gajeel she had pulled her top up again and did what ever she thought would work' acted like a clumsy slut, stepping and tripping a bit, pushing her breasts up against him when she could, Levi had no clue where she learned this but whatever she was doing she could see it was working, the cold hearted king was a pervert after all so no matter the cost he was thinking with his dick.
"Oh sorry for accusing you earlier my sincere apologies but why don't we both head up to the master bedroom and leave this stuffy party." He offered her mid spin.
"Well I am getting a little hot." She whined. She mentally slapped herself for listening to all of lexis stories about her nights with Carl (A/N I'm so sorry I made you hear that again, can anyone think of a better name. Carl just doesn't fit Cana Im also really sorry if your name is Carl)
"Oh but first (let me take a selfie) I must retrieve my butler my parents commanded he must come with me where ever I go or I may not ever be able to see you again." She pleaded.
"Fine but he won't be staying long." He grumbled as she pranced back.
As Gajeel turned to go back she saw him with a almost angry face.
"I am in so much pain~." She wined with a pained face plastered on her.
"I know it will all be worth it when you can stab him." Levi said silently playing with a strand of her hair. At this statement Gajeel realized Levi was the jealous type, and wondered what would happen to this scum bag later tonight if she didn't inter fear. She pondered on the question for a moment and put it to the back of her mind when she reached Samuel.
The three climbed up the large staircase in the entrance to what he said was the master bedroom.
"Please sit I will be right back." He said kissing Gajeel's forehead as she sat down making her shiver in complete disgust.
Levi waited for the man to leave then wiped her forehead till it looked almost red and decided to be an idiot and lick her forehead, for extra measures of corse.
Gajeel didn't shiver this time she just kinda sat there and watched him be all jealous it felt nice and also made her want to laugh her head off she always assumed she was the jealous one seeing tall, smart, pencil thin, girly girls hit on him daily wasn't a fun thing.
Samuel emerged from a golden door with a small navy blue box in his hand.
"I saw this and thought of you." He said handing her the box. Or normal terms Gajeel would have shaken it and smelt it, but that wasn't apparently eloquent.
She slowly opened the box and inside was a small iron chain with a large black jewel with diamonds surrounding it. Gajeel almost started to drool but decided it wasn't a good idea and asked Levi to place it around her neck.
"Would you like me to serve you both tea." Levi asked.
"Oh yes he makes the best tea I have ever had." She nodded acting ditsy and innocent, her personality was trapped behind a billion other personas' she created on the spot tonight.
"Sure why not." He said sitting on the couch Gajeel was on.
Levi got up and turned to the other room leavening them in ear shot but as the feeling they were alone.
"So tell me Samuel, tell me more about yourself."Gajeel said sweetly.
"Well as you know I rule the kingdom here and am very rich I also have—" as he continued to stroke his own ego Gajeel listen in pure agony.
Levi noticed that there want a kitchen in the room it was what Mario had behind the bar at the guild, magic things such as, magic tea kettles, magic drink mixes, different things for mages, they sometimes increased the magic power like different drink mixes and such or were magic themselves and worked on their own.
Levi finished making the tea and placed the small sleeping potion in both drinks and prayed Gajeel remembered she can't drink hers.
Levi walked into Gajeel had a killing glare at the man and he had his hand on her hips and thumb Inching towards her inner thigh.
Levi's et the tray down with a slam and quickly apologized saying he wasn't used to such light and perfectly crafted works.
Just as planned Samuel took the first sip of his tea, but then he spit it out.
"What did you put in this its almost putrid." He commented.
"Really? I think it's lovely. " Gajeel said.
"Wait a moment," he said slamming his cup down shattering it on the floor. "The marks, you just suddenly came out of no were, your...your mages!" He yelled shocked.
"Oh wow your really stupid just noticing that." Gajeel laughed. "We have guild symbols for god sake."
"I knew there was something off about you girl. Wait your face the name, your, your," he stuttered out realising something important
"Hey Sammy you miss your guild don't cha I was really afraid your would recognize my face, but I guess your to stupid to." Gajeel sadistically laughed scaring both men in the room. Levi hadn't seen her act this way for a very long time and he liked keeping it that way.
He shrunk his body standing and trying to defend himself.
The room felt cold suddenly as wind from every which way, the wind was weak but it was enough to move the curtains and bed sheets around rapidly.
"Weak as always I see." She commented.
"G-Gajeel" Levi called concernedly.
"Shut up." She said turning to him showing her face to him it was dark and cold her eyes were filled with a sadistic rage and her face was drained of color. This wasn't her.
"Now come on scream for me." She said smiling "I like it better that way." She said moving forward her sword dragging on the floor.
"Gajeel this isn't you." Levi yelled terrified. "What happened to the you I know, the one I love." He said getting to his feet.
"Your right this isn't the Gajeel you know, I'm the old Gajeel nice to meet you and I'm better than before." She spat and Levi noticed her voice was different it was higher than normal and younger like a 14 year old boy in a insane way.
"This is her, this is who she's always been." Samuel said shakily.
"The amulet brings out the side of the wearer that's real, it's destroys any act they put up, this is her." He winced meekly.
Suddenly Gajeel turned her arm into a iron log and shot them at both men, hitting Samuel in the stomach. he gagged and started to cough up a sickening amount of blood, Levi dodged it being that he had fought her before, he trained with her, he knew how she fought, but she was different, even at their first meet her fighting style was the same, he guesses it never changed, so what was it now.
He dodged the attack, and dashed for her. He dodged others but most hit, he had cuts along his arms and legs. Once her reached her he embraced her body. He felt her body become warmer but also pain stabbed him literally. She had used her left arm and cut his side deep, blood spilled out of his right side from the thin slit she had made, she was screaming in pain something was happening with the amulet, cracking and shattering noises could be heard faintly. Her body was not moving but her magic was iron daggers shot out of her body and retracted quickly hitting Levi in the shoulder twice and the same side. Levi refused to give up.
He used one of his free hand as the other one covered his wound he grabbed the amulet ripping it off her body, he dropped it on the ground shattering it into pieces.
Gajeel's body went limp and fell thought his arms onto her knees hitting the floor with a thud almost cracking the tile with her scales.
They slowly uncovered her body revealing her porcelain skin covered in scraps and bruises.
"You shattered it." Samuel whimpered out from his fetal position.
Levi's side was pouring blood dripping down his pant leg. He grasped it tighter and used a piece of the bed sheets to wrap around it, to much of Samuel's disagreement.
Gajeel was still on her knees not moving he eyes closed, and body almost possessed.
"What did you do to her?" Levi demanded.
"She's fine she almost pulled her self out of the possession, strong girl." He scoffed
"Why did you do that to her you obviously knew who she was." Levi said pushing Gajeel's head down into his lap hoping she would wake up soon.
The bleeding started to slow as Levi stopped moving.
"I wanted her dead and I still do." He spat.
"You could never kill her, you look like your dying after one hit from her, even 9 years ago that wouldn't have stopped me." Levi scoffed at the statement
Samuel just coughed and looked away, he was weak, he wasn't strong, he was good at hiding, and that's why he wasn't dead.
Gajeel's started to wake but Levi surprisingly didn't notice her eyes fluttered open and the smell of blood jetted into her nose. She looked around and when she saw it she was horrified.
A gash an inch deep into Levi's left side soaking a white cloth that now was a deep red.
She stained in horror knowing she had done this, Gajeel couldn't remember a thing from before Samuel gave her that amulet.
She saw the amulet in pieces next to her in arm reach almost. She inched her hand over to a large piece around 3 inches long sharp and pointed.
"No matter what you say I will get my revenge your lucky I can't do anything right now, it feels like I have internal bleeding." Samuel whined like a child.
"Your no threat no matter what you do to either of us and now you surely ain't." Gajeel said flinging the piece of black gem stone into Samuel neck, she didn't even look just with a simple flick of her wrist it was in his neck.
Blood dripped out of the cut as his eyes fluttered shut and he collapsed.
Levi stared down at Gajeel in horror.
