Chapter 28
Lucy's POV
"My Lady, the dress has arrived." Lisanna said with a smile as she peered through the door to bring in the dress.
"Pull it in." I ordered
She along with a couple of others maids pulled it in. In the reflection of the mirror, a pure white lacy wedding dress, fit for an angel only.
I stood up and turned around to face the dress, "All of you may leave."
As Lisanna thought she was part of the 'all'. I pulled her arm, "But you will stay here and assist me."
She smiled, "Yes, My lady."
As the rest of the maids left my alter ego appeared, "Oh. My. God... Are you sure this is really mine?" I asked.
She laughed softly almost sadly, "Of course.."
"And are you sure you're really fine with this?" I said while looking her in the eye.
"What ever do you mean?"
"You know, you were once in love with him. You were once jealous... Are you now?"
"No, I'm happy." She sighed, "I'm happy, for you. In the past I was wrong to fall in love with the wrong person. Even with your forgiveness along with his, I'm still very sorry. I will pay with my life." She said with a smile.
"Please don't think that. I gave you the freedom to live. Do you regret being alive till now?"
"No, I'm grateful for this minor life that you have spared me." She bowed, "Now miss, let's cut the talk for later and get you ready."
"Indeed, it very well is time." I smiled at the thought and the thrill.
With time the dress was on.
Natsu's POV
While I waited for what seemed like ages. Time refused to move and help. Beside me stood Gray, my loyal butler.
"Gray," I whispered, "When is going to arrive?" I restlessly asked.
"Soon, please keep your calm and be quiet." with annoyance he smiled.
Moments later the doors of the church opened with a creak. In came Lucy, dressed in white holding a bouquet of flowers that she shamed with her beauty. She stunned me. Along the way she walked, words and mumbles of compliments and jealousy filled the room.
"Such a beautiful Lady..."
"How lucky the Dragneel earl is, to find such value in this world."
"Must I say, she so lovely, almost like a doll."
She truly was stunning, her pure white dress made herself equivalent to that of a white rose. Her shining crystal like chocolate orbs that paralyzed you with a bewitching gaze. Eyelashes that fluttered with her every blink. Cheeks that were covered in a blushing powder when it wasn't even needed. Peachy lips that portrayed her explicit beauty.
She reached the front of the church and smiled warmly at me.
"My lord, have you waited long?"
"Too long for a beauty to make her entrance." I whispered.
I held her hand in mine and we walked closer to the alter, where the friar stood.
"Well then, ladies and gentlemen. Today we celebrate the wedding and the love of Dragneel's Earl Natsu Dragneel along with the Heartfilia Lady Lucy Heartfilia. We will start the ceremony with the wedding vows of bride and groom." He looked towards me and smiled, "Groom, you may say your vow."
"I groom, take thee bride, to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; and I promise to be faithful to you until death parts us."
"Bride, your vow please."
"I bride, take three groom, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; and I promise to be faithful to you until death parts us."
"The rings." He called.
Gray stepped forward to bring the rings.
With both our rings on the friar announced us husband and wife.
"You may kiss the bride." He said softly.
I held Lucy's shoulder gently and softly planted my lips upon hers.
"Wanna run?" I asked in a whisper.
"W-what?" she gasped.
"Let's run, come on. To the car outside that Gray sneaked into."
"Uh-" I cut her off by picking her up princess style, and ran out the doors of the church and into the sunlight. I opened the doors and pushed her in along with the large amount of excess dress. Jumping along, I waved to the cheering people and the friar exclaiming that we finish the party at least. I paid no attention to them and told Gray to drive along to the Heartfilia mansion.
We arrived at the doors of the Heartfilia mansion. Even though everyone was gone because of the wedding, few maids and butlers greeted us.
"Lucy, let's go to the rose garden, yea?"
"But what about the others we left at the church?"
"Worry not, they're probably eating this very moment we talk." I laughed.
"Wait here, and after several minutes open the doors to the garden, okay?" She said as she ran along laughing.
"Um... sure?"
Like she said after several minutes, I headed to the doors that led to the garden. Hall after hall I reached them, the ones I first pushed to meet Lucy. I pushed them and they opened with a creak.
The scenery bewitched me. Lucy was twirling as rose petals fluttered around her. She sat down on the grass and lied down, as she did her hair pooled up below her head. Like the first time, she raised her hand and reached into the endless sky where eternity lied.
I smiled and ran to her. Grasping her hands and lifting her up.
"My lord." She bowed whilst looking down.
"Lift your head." I said softly.
I gazed into her chocolate orbs. Here I was falling in love with her all over again.
"I am Natsu Dragneel. Earl of Dragneel family, husband of Lucy Heartfilia."
"My husband indeed, I am Lucy Heartfilia." She said while giving a soft chuckle.
"To you, I am only Natsu."
"And I'm only Lucy." She smiled.
"Skip the rest of the act." I said as I snaked an arm around her waist and pulled her close.
She giggled, "My, aren't you in a hurry?"
Giving her no answer I kissed her passionately.
"One sun and one moon will merge and thus create an eclipse." I whispered in her ear, earning giggles.
