The enire guild was quite. Everyone was staring as a scared Natsu held onto a sobbing Lucy. She clung onto his shirt and cried into his neck. In that moment they didn't care how pathetic, hopeless or weak they both looked. Master had come to sit in a chair infront of the two.

Everyone sat down. They would wait until the two were ok to talk agian. They all just looked at each other. All of them so confused. So Lucy and Natsu were actually a prince and princess? They were married? What had they actually gone through? Master was furious. These were his children. For them to be caused so much pain. He knew that those kings would be back, he had to be ready to protect his children. But he had to have all of the information before he could plan anything.

Lucy's cries were now a low sniffle. Crying so much had really tired her out. Natsu wouldn't cry. He had to stay strong for the two of them. She knew she could always count on him. He would protect her as much as he could. But they both knew that just the two of them were no match for both kings. Even though they knew they were beyond more powerful than both of their fathers, the emotional, physical, and mental abuse from their childhood prevented them from ever really holding a fight with the kings.

Natsu brushed Lucy's hair behind her earsas she looked up into his face. He could see her wrecked face from all the tears and dried blood. The fear in both of their eyes were evident. Natsu for the second time that day gave Lucy a kiss on the forehead. It instantly calmed her down. The guild could tell that they were both calming down. The tense air was slowly going away.

"Can I get you guys a glass of water" asked a very concered Mira.

"Thank you Mira" Lucy got out between sniffles. Mira quickly went to the bar and got two glasses of water. Both Nasu and Lucy took a sip and sat the glasses on the floor.

"Are you ok enough to talk my children?" asked master. He was so worried. Natsu looked at Lucy, she gave a small nod.

"Yeah Gramps we're ok" Natsu said softly.

"Well would you like to move or stay here" master asked.

"Here is ok. At least that way we would be able to talk to everyone at once" Natsu said. "Lucy you want me to start?" Natsu asked looking at her. She just simply nodded. She was still clinging to his shirt. Natsu took a breathe and sighed. He didn't know how the guild would take the story. How would they feel about them once they knew?

Everybody was now intensly listening, not wanting to miss any information. "Well our real names aren't Lucy Heartfilia and Natsu Dragnel it's really Natsu Takomia of the Takomia kingdom and Lucy Riom of the Riom kingdom."

"Natsu i've never heard of these places." Master stated. He has been around for a while, yet those places were puzzling to him.

"Our Kingdoms are far across the southern ocean. There is a mountian that divides our kingdoms. You probably wouldn't have heard of them. They're actually quite an old civilizaion. Most of our people died when the dragons were alive. We've had to rebuild from nothing. But as you could see there are those that are greedy and want more power than they have a right to hold" Natsu greeted the last part out. "Those kings were our fathers. King Terom Takomia and King Ferria Riom. My mother is probably still at the kingdom. Lucy's mom died when she was 6"

"Lucy i'm so sorry. I never knew that" Levy stated. Lucy was her best friend, yet she had a whole other life she never knew she once had. Lucy looked up.

"Levy it's ok. You never knew this. I do still miss my mom. But it's gotten better through the years" Lucy said. She basically had stopped crying by now. Now she just sat in Natsu's lap. Holding both of his hands.

"It is true of what they said. Natsu and I are married. We have been since we were babies. Our fathers wanted power so much they married us off. We knew of each other growing up. We visited each other. We weren't supposed to have a proper wedding until we were 18. Which just so happens to be next month" The last statement fell off her lips. That's when it hit everone. They now know why Natsu and Lucy acted like that this morning.

"Lucy, Natsu I'm sorry I had no idea." Erza said facing the ground.

"It's ok Erza. I shouldn't have acted that way to you." Natsu said.

"So you two are actually married? Live togather? Do all the other stuff married people do?" Gray asked. It was weird, but he basically saw them togather anyway.

"Yes we are married and live togather. But we don't do anything. You have to understand. We may not live in our kingdoms anymore but we were taught and raised a certain way. A man and woman are not to lay togather until they are married. Your family name would be runied, you would be ruined if that were to happen. So, no, Natsu and I have not done anything. We were waiting until we were both 18. We were still actually planning on getting remarried just for us, not for our kingdoms" Lucy stated. This information she knew was hard for some to understand.

"Lucy it's ok you know. You and Natsu had no control over what happened when you were babies. Also you do what makes you happy and comfortable. No one will judge you here" Erza said. Lucy and Natsu both looked at her. They smilied. Truly happy.

"Oh Lucy please let me help with the dress and wedding" Said a cheerful Levy. Lucy wanted to smile at that, but she couldn't.

"My children please, how did you even escape?" Master asked. Gathering all the information he could.

"Gramps you gotta understand. Growing up was not easy. I was constantly beaten for caring to much for the lower class and Lucy was called names and basically starved so that she would be skinny" at these remarks many of their guild mates were angry. Why would their own parents do that to them? "Lucy and I knew of each other and the duty we both had. We've loved each other since we were kids. Our fathers were not caring. They only cared about power. But escaping wasn't easy. With spies everywhere it was truely difficult. But we both had a common friend. Both our families used the same healer. A women named Porlyusica. She hates people but we trusted her. The night we escaped both of our kingdoms were holding a conjoined party. A masquared party. We turned 16 that night. While the festivities were happening she helped me and Lucy sneak out undetected. We left and not to long after found ourselfs here" Natsu said. Master was happy that they had found fairy tale. Everyone in the guild could not believe it. They had a completely different life.

"Well my children. You are safe now. They cannot and will not harm you here" Master said. He would not allow anything to harm them.

"But you don't get it master. We have to leave now. They know where we are. We have to go back in a month. They will come back and will hurt anyone to get to us" Lucy said, starting to get upset agian.

"That will not happen Lucy. We will make sure your safe" Lucy turned around to see Leo. Instantly she got up and ran over. She crashed into him, crying agian. Leo just hugged her. Natsu stood up where he was.

"Leo we can't go back. You know we can't. You know what will happen." Lucy barely got out.

"Lucy your not going back. We spirits are here for you and Natsu. Fairy tail is too. You will be safe" There was something in his eyes that had boubt. He had seen the pain that was inflicted on her. He didn't want to see her like that agian.

"Natsu, Lucy is their nothing that would change their minds? Nothing that would make them not come back for you?" Master asked.

"I don't think so Master. Marriages are always final. Maybe only if we were to die and the next in line were to get married, but neither Lucy or I have siblings." Natsu stated. He walked over and was now rubbing Lucy's back.

"You see once we go back, we will be married next month on our 18th birthday. We have no problem with being married. However we would not be allowed happiness. Lucy would need to become pregnant within 3 months of us being married. If, in those 3 months she does not, I will be killed and she would then belong to my father as another wife to bare more of his children." Everyone gasped. This information had become to much for them to handle. Leo just hugged Lucy harder. He knew other details that not even Natsu knew of. Like Lucy would be stripped of her magic and the spirits would die.

"Master I want to marry Natsu, I want to carry his children. But I asure you if we're to go back home, those children would go through the same things we did. By the kingdoms being together by marriage, our military and wealth are unstoppable. They would bring terror and dealth to all parts of the world." Lucy said. She was now holding Natsu's hands. "They were here, because if we get married outside our kingdoms then the plan would desolve. There would be no princess or prince, therefore no heir to the throne." Natsu said.

"Well then it's simple my boy, You will get married here" Master said cheerfully.
