Erza's POV
The next morning when I woke up I saw that Mira wasn't present. Lucy and Yukino woke up once I did. We were shocked to see that Mira wasn't there. We went to Mira's bed to see a note.
Dear Erza, Lucy, and Yukino,
Your sister, Mirajane, is currently residing in the palace infirmary. She has gotten whipped badly and the palace doctor. Dr. Porlyusica is currently taking care of her.
Mira will be well enough to work in 3 days but sadly she will die soon. The poison within her body is dangerous. A mixture of special crushed rose petals from a sacred oasis in the desert can help her. She has to eat it twice a day for 18 days. This is said to stop the poison but it causes a little pain as the rose petals extract the poison.
You may check up on her in the infirmary. I hope she gets better soon. I've also sent a copy of this letter to your other sisters.
Sincerely,
Prince Laxus Dragneel
I looked at my sisters who were crying silently.
"I knew Angel was cruel, but this, this is beyond cruel!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Let's visit the infirmary after breakfast." Yukino said.
"Let's get the others before we go." I said. We all nodded.
Right then Lady Angel called me. "Red haired bitch! Get your ass over here."
I sighed and went.
"I need you to get me a gown from the dress makers. I'm having breakfast with the royal family and I need a good gown. That white haired slut is in the infirmary so I guess that you'll do. I'm pretty sure you'll know the expectations for the dress I want, correct." Angel glared at me.
"I do." I replied with a bow.
I turned and left.
As I was walking the hallway I bumped into a certain azure haired prince.
"I-I'm so sorry!" I exclaim. I quickly regain my posture and curtsy.
Jellal brushed himself off. "No problem. It was my fault. I should have watched where I was going."
"No no no. It was me who should have been paying attention. I'm really sorry Jel- I mean Prince Jellal." I say flustered.
"Just call me Jellal." He said with a small smile.
"Of course Pri- sorry, Jellal." I smile. "I have to go to the dress makers can you tell me the way to get there?"
"Of course. Go onto the fourth floor using the bronze staircase. Once you reach the top it should be two doors on your right." He replies.
"Thank you Jellal." I curtsy.
"See you Erza." He smiled. I blush because he remembered my name and headed towards the bronze staircase finding it hard to contain my spreading blush.
Jellal's POV
I just ran into Erza. She looked gorgeous even in her maid uniform. I headed to Lady Flare's room. I was supposed to escort her to breakfast. Same with my my other three brothers.
I can't believe I'm marrying Flare. She shows too much cleavage, her eyes are so freakishly creepy, and her red hair was nothing compared to Erza's beautiful scarlet hair.
I knock on Lady Flare's room and she opened. She was wearing a sleeveless red dress with a v-neck that ended at her bellybutton. The skirt clung tightly to her legs. I was apalled. Ladies these days shouldn't even be called ladies. They were pigs who hid behind loads of makeup and over revealing clothing. Her hair was in 2 braids tied back behind her back. She wore reallt tall high heels that looked like they were 4 inches tall. Even with her extreme 4 inch high heels she still wasn't as tall as me.
"Are we supposed to go now my sweet Jelly baby?" The over revealing pig- I mean Lady Flare said in what I think was a sexy way.
I groaned inwardly. "Yes of course Lady Flare. Shall we go now if you're ready?" I asked as a prince should though I was trying not to gag as she clung onto my arm.
As me and the under dressed pig- what I mean is me and Lady Flare left towards the breakfast hall, we ran into my brother Prince Laxus. He called me over. I turned to the pig- uh... I have to stop calling her that. I turned to Lady Flare.
"Apologies pi-," I cleared my throat. "Apologies Lady Flare. Why don't you go on ahead and I'll catch up to you. It won't be long. Just a few- couple of minutes."
Lady Flare smiled her awfully creepy smile. "No worries my darling Jelly baby. I'll wait for you just up ahead around the corner." She curtsied and walked off.
When she turned I faced the heir of Fiore to find him about to burst from laughter. His cheeks were red and his hands were over his mouth.
"J-j-jelly b-baby?" Laxus stuttered out laughing like a complete maniac. "This is just too hilarious. And what were about to call her before? It sounded like you were going to call your fiancée, the future princess of Fiore a pig!"
Laxus laughed so loudly that it was a wonder to why the pig- what I mean is why my fiancée, the future princess of Fiore, isn't coming over here to see what's going on with me and my idiot of a brother that was going to be the future king of Fiore.
I sighed then smirked. "Doesn't your fiancée call you something as well. What was it?" I pretended to think tapping one finger on my chin.
Laxus turned red with anger. "Don't you dare say it."
I smirked devishly. "Why should I not my darling Laxy."
"I hate you so much Jel. As much as I want to continue this, we're going off topic. I wanted to talk to you about our fiancées. I feel that they are going to bring terrible things to this country."
"I agree Lax. What were mom and dad thinking. Let's talk about this tonight with the others. If we're late mom and dad will be angry."
We both walked towards the dining hall and saw Lady Angel and Lady Flare.
We both inwardly groaned. Why couldn't they leave us in peace?
"Oh my darling Laxy, what took you long? I was worried you had gotten in trouble." Lady Angel said in a what o thought was supposed to be a sexy voice.
Lady Angel was wearing a white dress. It was sleeveless and the plunging neckline ended at her hips. The top had lace angel wings. The skirt was tight to her legs. It ended at her knees where it flared out towards the ground. How did she walk in that thing with her 5 inch heels.
I smirked at Laxus who looked annoyed.
"Jelly baby you took so long. I was getting tired of waiting." Lady P- Flare asked in her annoying voice.
This time Laxus smirked at me. His annoyed expression transferred to my face.
"Sorry for worrying you fine young ladies. We shall go now." Laxus replied in a very polite and prince like voice.
He is a prince but he doesn't act this way. I guess if he talks different then my parents will here about it from these 'fine young ladies'. Same for me too I guess.
It sucked having to marry people we never knew. Why couldn't we fall in love and get married with the girl we truly love. Mom and Dad didn't usually act this way. They were always so carefree and fun.
I took Lady Flare's arm and Laxus took Lady Angel's arm. We went down to the dining hall. It was going to be a long breakfast.
Erza's POV
It was an hour after breafast had finished. Me and my sisters were in Lady Angel's room with Lady Flare, Lady Minerva, and Lady Lisanna. Lady Angel and Lady Minerva had decided to give Lady Flare and Lady Lisanna two maids to improve their friendship. Of course the maids had to be my sisters and I.
"Well Lisanna. I'm going to give this blonde bimbo." Lady Angel said. "I'm giving you this red haired slut Flare."
Lucy went to Lady Lisanna and I went to Lady Flare.
"Lisanna I'm giving you this child." Lady Minerva said. "Flare I'm giving you this dark haired whore."
Wendy went to Lady Lisanna and Kagura went to Lady Flare.
Lady Lisanna had Lucy and Wendy.
Lady Flare had me and Kagura.
Lady Minerva had Yukino and Levy.
Lady Angel had Mira and Juvia.
All four ladies smirked. They were going to rule the world.
Jellal's POV
It was the afternoon. Just after lunch and we were going over wedding preparations.
I was sitting next to Lady Flare. Laxus was sitting next to Lady Angel. Natsu was sitting next to Lady Lisanna. Sting was sitting next to Lady Minerva.
Romeo sat next to Natsu. Rogue sat next to Sting. Gajeel sat next to Laxus. Gray sat next to me.
King Igneel and Queen Grandine were sitting at the head of the table. A bunch of papers were spread out before them.
Erza and her other six sisters were present as well. They were against the wall of the meeting room.
All of them were wearing a maid uniform that was different compared to the palace maids uniform. It consisted of a black crop top, white mini skirt, black heels, and a white and black headband.. The black crop top had spaghetti straps and was covered in lace. It stopped just before there belly buttons showing their creamy white stomachs. The mini skirt ended about what looked like 2 inches above mid thigh. It was white and had 3 ruffled layers. The layers were made of lace and the material was almost sheer, similar to the lacy black crop top. The black heels had black straps that winded there way up there long lean legs to just below there knees. The heels were 2 inches tall. The black and white headband was placed on the middle of their heads. It had a small white rose with black leaves on it. All of there hair was down with two thick strands from each side of their hair clipped back with a black bow.
All seven of their faces were expressionless. Even though they showed no expression I could tell that they were uncomfortable through their eyes.
Erza looked stunning. She was the most beautiful girl out of all seven of them. She looked more beautiful than my fiancée and more gorgeous than Natsu's, Sting's, and Laxus's fiancées as well. I want to start getting to know that stunning scarlet beauty more in every way possible. Stop thinking that way Jellal. You haven't even met her properly and yet you are talking- thinking about how beautiful she looks. Where are these perverted thoughts coming from. If you don't stop soon you'll start having a habit of stripping like your stripper of a brother also known as Gray.
I bet my brothers would disagree with me choosing there favorite girl which better not be my beautiful and sweet Erza. And I'm pretty sure that they might also be thinking perverted thoughts. I mean how could they not considering the revealing outfits they had on the creamy white bodies. Now that I look closer, their eldest sister, what was her name... I think it started with M? Mary, no; Minnie, no; Mina, no; wait I got this it was Mirajane. Mira for short. The girl that Laxus loved. I seriously thought it would be impossible for Laxus to love but that girl probably changed his heart completely. Turning his ice cold heart to one with more feelings and love. I wonder what happened to her. She seemed like the type to always be present. Unless...unless something bad happened to her. But what or who would harm someone in the palace. There must be someone in the palace then. I did hear something about someone being in the infirmary this morning. That someone could be the white haired beauty that the crown prince of Fiore and heir to the throne of Fiore loved. I'll have to ask him about it cause I'm pretty sure that he'll know about something like this. Especially if the girl he loved was involved in it. Me and my brothers were going to talk tonight after dinner so I should bring this topic up.
"What do you think Jellal?" My father said.
I looked up from looking at the papers in front of me to see everyone at the table looking. Even the guards and Erza and her sisters were looking at me. "What?" I had no idea what they were talking about.
My father sighed in annoyance. "I asked what do you think of having the wedding bouquets being made of daisies, lilies, and daffodils. Your fiancée as well as Lady Minerva, Lady Angel, and Lady Lisanna agree with the idea."
I nodded. "They'll be... nice."
I wasn't too thrilled with the idea of the wedding but the flowers that my father chose were horrible for weddings in my opinion.
"Permission to speak your majesty." A strong yet soft gentle voice resonated through the air.
Everyone turned there heads to look st where the sound had come. The person turned out to be the stunning scarlet haired Erza.
King Igneel looked over at her with a eyebrow raised. He looked confused as to why a maid would want to talk in the midst of preparations for the weddings of the century. Nevertheless he nodded his head. "You may."
"Although the idea of daffodils, daisies, and lilies are quite nice for a wedding bouquet, I believe that a bouquet made out of red, pink, and white roses would be perfect for a wedding. Roses are the flowers of love. Red would stand for love. Pink would stand for happiness. White would stand for purity. These three colors for the flower of love, roses, would make quite a meaningful bouquet for the weddings of the century." Erza smiled as she curtsied gracefully. "It is only a suggestion. You don't have to consider it but it would be quite amazing if you do."
My father thought about it for a while. Everyone else held there breaths. No one had ever dared to offer a suggestion for anything besides his own. As much I admired Erza for being very brave and kind she should have kept her mouth shut because there can be terrible consequences if the kings words were spoken against.
After a few minutes a smile came upon my father's face. My mother also smiled. "That is a great idea young lady. May I inquire what your name is as well as the other young ladies."
Erza smiled. "My name is Erza Heartfilia. These are my sisters Lucy Heartfilia, Juvia Heartfilia, Yukino Heartfilia, Kagura Heartfilia, Levy Heartfilia, and Wendy Heartfilia. Our elder sister, Mirajane Heartfilia isn't present at the moment." Erza pointed to each of her sisters as she said their names. They all curtsied very gracefully. Possibly more gracefully and gentle than four certain "ladies" I knew.
"Thank you for this wonderful suggestion Miss Erza. Bouquets made of red, pink, and white roses would be absolutely splendid." King Igneel smiled.
"I have a suggestion as well your majesty." A delicate angelic voice said. This time the voice turned out to Lucy Heartfilia. From the corner of my eye I could see Natsu grinning like an idiot, makes sense because he is an idiot.
"Go on." My father urged on with a smile gracing his face.
"I recall you saying that the table cloths, carpets, curtains, and the chairs should all be yellow and purple." She said smiling.
My father nodded slowly.
"I was thinking that as Erza had suggested the bouquets to be made of red, pink, and white roses that the colors of the table cloths, carpets, curtains, and the chairs to be those colors as well. It would the theme more romantic like which would a gorgeous setting for a wedding." She curtsied and smiled.
My father thought for a whole once more before his smile returned. "You are quite right Miss Lucy. I will take your suggestion as well. They are absolutely marvelous."
He looked at the other five girls who looked like they also wanted to say something. "Do you girls also have suggestions as well?"
They all nodded.
"Well go on right ahead and tell me. I'll think about then as your sisters so far had magnificent ideas." My father was not himself as he ushered the girls on.
An hour later all ideas were said and my father liked them all.
"You girls have such wonderful ideas! I have come to a decision. I've decided that all of you girls including your elder sister who isn't present will help me with the wedding preparations. You will be the Royal Wedding Planners." My father grinned showing his sharp canines.
I was shocked as was everyone one else in the meeting room. It was unlike of my father to consider suggestions of other people, much less maids, but even more astonishing to make them Royal Wedding Planners.
It could have been my imagination but I swore I saw Lady Flare, Lady Minerva, Lady Angel, and Lady Lisanna have a glint of anger and hatred in their eyes before they regained their posture. I shook it off. It was probably nothing.
"T-Thank y-you, your majesty." Yukino said softly. "It would be a great honor for me and my sisters."
"Then it's settled. You are going to help me and Grandine tomorrow with some more preparations." My father said in excitement. "Now that we have most things settled out by now everyone is dismissed."
Eveyone hurried out of the room. Now I really did have to have a chat with my brothers. Something bad is about to happen I could feel it.
And whenever I felt something I was never wrong... right?
A/N: Hi everyone! I am so sorry for not updating this for over a month! I feel so bad cause I also haven't updated this on Wattpad for over a month and a half. I'm such an awful author. It's just that schools been really keeping me on my toes so I just can't really find the time. I hope you enjoy what's to come for this story though. ?
How will the chat between the brothers go?
What will happen to the girls?
What will the four 'ladies' do?
