Chapter 6
Natsu's POV
Standing there quietly waiting for someone, was Lisanna. Sure, when I first met her I thought she was beautiful. But things have changed now that I've met Lucy. Lisanna didn't have the personality and the beauty that I wanted.
She turned around as she felt a stare at her backside. "My lord…"
"I believe my father invited you here to discuss the plans of cancelling the marriage?" I didn't want to talk to her too much, so I got to the point I wanted her to know.
"Yes." Of course I wasn't expecting her to be really happy about it, but she somewhat looked disappointed in my sudden interruption.
"Well then, Gray!" I called, "Get us some snacks." I looked at her and said, "Let's discuss this over a cup of tea shall we." I brushed past her shoulder to walk off.
As I walked off into the corridor, I heard her whisper behind me, "Yes, my lord."
I sat on the antique chair in the yard, far away from the special gazebo where only Lucy and I spend our precious time together. Lisanna walked over and sat down on the opposite side of my table. She eyed the gazebo in the distance and spoke up, "The sun shines greatly upon the world today, and so may we seek cover under that beautiful gazebo?"
I stare at her then at the gazebo. "That isn't something that I allow strangers under." I say coldly. She looked down at her hands sadly.
Suddenly I remembered that Lucy was coming today, "My friend is coming over today. Don't be rude to her."
"Of course, but…" I looked up, "may I know who this person is?"
Without hesitation I told her, "Her name is Lucy Heartfilia." I knew that maybe I should tell her the rest of the story. But why should I tell this outsider?
"May I make a request my lord?" She said quietly. I nodded, signalling her to go on, "since another lady is to come to my lord's manor, may I see how you spend the day with her?"
I didn't want to let her interfere with my relationship with Lucy but, "One condition… Don't interfere." I said coldly. She obliged.
Lucy's POV
I was deep in my thoughts. I had to somehow persuade myself that this was reality. I really can't handle the fact that Natsu was to be wed to another woman. I realise what I felt, did I feel jealous? Of course being in this time and age, men were allowed to have as many wives as they wanted.
I was brought back to reality by the sound of a door opening. The blinding sunlight blocked his face, but I knew who he was. He held his hand out as I took it. I stepped out and was greeted by a shower of light kisses from Natsu.
He walked me to the back of the mansion where the gazebo and the rose garden was. He pushed me to be seated on one side of the gazebo as he gently lied down upon my laps. He was acting strange; normally he would be pulling me into having a conversation with him. He was so quiet today. I decided to ignore his strange behaviour.
Time fled by as he suddenly sat up and told me to stay where I was; there was someone I was going to meet. He walked off into the mansion, soon after he disappeared footsteps approached me.
Lisanna's POV
Natsu left Lucy and approached the mansion doors. He left Lucy sitting at the gazebo… the gazebo where he wouldn't allow me to sit at. Even if the sun was burning him, he refused to sit with me in the gazebo.
"You, go talk to Lucy." He said as he walked into the room I was watching them from.
"Yes…"
I walked out the door, and headed slowly to Lucy. As I got closer I noticed her features; her face was innocent and porcelain, she had small ears, her lips that shamed the rose, and her silky looking hair that flowed in the wind every time it blew.
I stopped in front of her; she flinched as she noticed my presence. She looked up, and for the first time in my life I realised there was someone that was prettier than me in this world, after I stared into her chocolate orbs.
"Good day to you my lady." I said while doing an elegant bow.
"Good day to you too." She answered back with a voice that sounded like wind chimes that blew in the wind.
Lucy's POV
This was Lisanna…
She had short silver hair, ocean blue eyes, and a small cute face.
"So are you Natsu's lover?"
"I guess, you could say that."
"How do you feel about Natsu?" I wanted to ignore her; did this girl not know her manners? She was asking really personal questions.
Without giving me a chance to answer, I was slowly getting irritated. I held back the swirling fire in my chest, until I busted, "Listen, and keep those personal questions to yourself. Do you really think I can sit here all day and listen to you ramble on?" I realise the rude words I had spilled, as I looked to her I noticed, instead of a frown she was smiling warmly like it was her intention to make me angry all along.
Hello, this was such a late and boring chapter. I'm sorry.
