Last time
"I'm Elione Gottin Von Krieg the 10th Emperor of the Krieg Empire, 1st Emperor of the newly established Vereint Empire, and Wife to the late Ray Gottin, and lastly I'm your mother" Elione smiled happily as Erza just stared at the woman.
"You're my mother?" Erza asked feeling a little numb as Elione embraced her again. Tears started to fall from her good eye and returned the embrace Elione gave.
"Wait a minute" Natsu suddenly spoke as the two stopped their tearful reunion.
"What is it Natsu?" Erza asked wiping the tears from her good eye.
"If she's the Emperor, Does that mean she's a guy" Natsu asked as he racked his head for answers. "This all too confusing"
Elione giggled while Erza face palmed at Natsu's stupidity wondering why she fell for him in the first place "Your boyfriend's not to bright is he?" Elione asked suppressing a giggle as Natsu asked Tanaka who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Erza just blushed at the question out of embarrassment and the assumption about their relationship.
CHAPTER 8: Testing the waters
"I'm glad you found yourself a home you can call your own" Elione asked glad that her only daughter was happy even if she wasn't there with her.
"Me too, the people in Fairy Tail are the closest thing I have as a family, they have been for the last eight years and the Master have been a father figure for all of us" Erza replied a smile on her face until she remembered that she had one before Fairy Tail. Those that she was forced to leave behind due to certain circumstances 'Sho, Simon, Milliana, Wally and Jellal' she felt guilty for forgetting them as she was too caught up with her own problems.
"Something wrong Erza?" Elione asked as she noticed the sad look that appeared on her face.
"Oh? Nothing just lost in thought that's all" Erza replied while her mother scrutinized her knowing that something was definitely wrong. Erza began to shrink at her mother's stare. She felt like a kid who's got her hands caught in the cookie jar. It felt weird but at the same time comforting as she now knew what it felt like spending time with her mother.
"Are you sure?" Elione asked with suspicion clearly visible in her voice as Erza just nodded, but her stare said so otherwise. She was about to tell everything when her mother smiled "Ok then. Let's go to your room I'm sure your tired" Erza nodded 'beside's I know you'll tell me sooner or later' Elione guided her to her room.
Upon reaching her room Elione gave her daughter one final hug before retiring to bed not noticing the mischievous glint in her eyes. Erza upon opening her room found it to be quite spacious. An apartment and a half spacious with the room's walls painted an elegant red with matching gold on the room's wood work. A giant bed in the middle of the room big enough to fit four people, a fireplace with a carpet with the Empire's seal on it, two loveseat on both sides, and a elegant oak dresser and nightstand. She looked at the room's personal bathing area to find it as elegant as the room she's in. After taking a shower she went to bed so she could try to sleep as she rolled over the bed finding that sleep has eluded her. Knowing that she wouldn't be able to sleep any time soon decided to go and check on Natsu as he's probably awake doing some exercises to keep his body fit. She got up and took out a bathrobe to cover herself.
'it's strange to find out that I wasn't born from Fiore but in Krieg, that I had a mother looking for me ever since she lost me, that I'm not cursed to live my life alone' Erza thought happily. She always believed that she was meant to be alone as her foster parents were killed with her ending as a slave. Her new family that she found during her time as a slave taken away yet again as she blamed her weakness and inability to fight for those she cared for. She joined Fairy Tail in hopes of becoming strong enough to protect those precious to her gaining her the rank of an S-Class mage. The highest rank a mage could ever attain making her complacent with her power training just enough to maintain her rank until the tragedy with Lissana. Mirajane's youngest sibling who died even with her sister being an S-Class mage wasn't enough to save her. Erza's world was shaken bringing her back to the reality that her title was just that. A title given to those who have risen above others during the time they took the exam. That there will always be someone stronger than her and she wouldn't have the power to protect them yet again. So she trained and took on request that would test her limits and abilities and in time she became stronger and wiser and at the same time she became more serious and less approachable and the walls in her heart stronger much like the armor she wore, her fellow Fairy Tail members treated her as a comrade that would always be there to help them. She was their comrade not one they would consider a friend. It suited her just fine and she felt some solace in the fact that she wouldn't have to end up losing someone close to her. That was until Natsu happened. Ever since their fight against the Phatomlord Guild she became extremely attracted to him to the point where he invaded her dreams and ordering him to sleep with her in the same apartment. She found it strange and decided to find out why but came up empty handed and she slowly brought her defenses but found out she didn't need to as Natsu could always slip pass through her with little effort at all even before she started to fall for him. Erza remembered the times that Natsu would make her smile even though she tried not to or when her loneliness gets the better of her. "Natsu…that lovable idiot" Erza smiled not noticing where she's walking until she bumped into someone in front of Natsu's room. Looking up she saw her mother wearing a revealing black negligee showing off more skin that she would like laughing awkwardly.
"Oh! Hi dear" Elione smiled awkwardly "I was just going to my room and I seemed to lost my way. Good night dear" she was about to reach out for the door knob only for a hand to stop her. "What is it dear?" a nervous smile on her face.
"This isn't your room this is Natsu's" Erza warned her mother who just looked away scratching her neck "your room is the largest room in this castle. Why are you here? Don't tell me you're going to try and sleep with Natsu" 'I haven't even had that chance yet' Erza added as an afterthought Elione pouted crossing her arms under her impressive breast.
"Fine you caught me" Erza glared death at her mother's admission "just one night please" Elione clasped her hands and made her best puppy dog eyes.
"No! What is wrong with you? His younger than you are" Erza growled "have you no shame? You're the emperor of a country and my mother for god's sake" she was now having doubts if having her for a mother was a good thing.
Elione straightened herself "it's not a matter of shame. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do and besides don't tell me you haven't thought of doing it with him either" she lectured her daughter who blushed in annoyance as she gained a victorious grin in her face. "Now if you'll excuse me I have something important to 'do'" that something is a pink haired dragon slayer. She tried again to reach in for the door only for Erza to stop her again "no fair!"
"No. You. Are. Not!" Erza grounded out as the door opened revealing a very sweaty Natsu. His pink hair clinging to his face, his torso bare showing off his well toned chest glistening due to his sweat rising and falling in time with his breathing, his firm biceps, his six pack abs soon to be eight pack that looked like they were made by god himself with no signs of fat in them a clear sign of how hard he works outs. Both women stared at the confused Dragon Slayer one blushing while the other with lust filled eyes.
'Nice' both women thought at the same time. Their eyes roaming over his body imprinting every bump and groove of his well toned torso.
"Is there something in my face?" Natsu asked as he looked over his body trying to find out what are they staring at. Elione was the first one to come out from her trance.
"Oh nothing Tsu-chan. Are you working out?" Natsu nodded another wicked grin appeared on her face "would you mind if I join you? I have… a few… exercises that we could do" Elione leaned in whispering the last part to Natsu who blushed at the closeness and moved to the side so she could enter.
"Are you sure you want to go training with that on? You might end up getting a cold. It's kind of cold in here" Natsu told her blushing, noticing her state of dress or what could pass as one. Normally he isn't affected by the cold but he was a Dragon Slayer and Erza's mother was not.
"Oh! Don't worry about that I know of a few ways to keep 'OURSELVES' warm… and entertained" Elione replied in a low and sultry voice dragging her finger over his sweaty and well defined chest. She appreciated the firm muscles underneath his tanned skin while giving the confused Dragon Slayer a very unwanted yet pleasurable tingling in his spine. But before she could go any further a hand grabbed the back of her negligee. Hauling her away is her daughter. She is fuming at what her newly found mother is trying to do. "Let go of me Erza! Have you no respect for your dear mother?" Elione whined as she did her best to resist the urge to just choke the woman in her hand just to stop her from whining like a kid.
"They really are related. They just do what they want not really caring what the others think" Natsu sighed as he shook his head. He really doesn't have any clue how to deal with women. Another thought hit him as he noticed how his boxers seemed to be tighter than the usual. He decided to take a shower and preferably a cold one to clear his mind. "Damn gramp's and his perverted ways" He really needs to avoid taking advice from the master as some of them lean on a more perverted side of things.
Erza arrived at her mother's room which wasn't so hard to find. A large door elegantly made with her name elegantly written in it. She mentally slapped herself really questioning if she really was related with the woman in her hand. She opened the door and found it was twice the size of her current room. Walking up to her bed and throwing her unto it landing in a kneeling position a pout visible on her face. Ordering her mother to stay in her room, leaving and slamming the door shut.
Elione's pout was replaced with a warm smile as she took out a small wooden box. Opening the box she took out a picture where a happy couple could be seen holding their pride and joy. "Ray… our daughter grew up and became a wonderful person just as you said even without our guidance" she laughed a little "I guess I owe you one million jewels. She's practically like me before I met you. You're the only person that I can never beat in a bet and that's saying something because I never lose at gambling. Wherever you are I know you're proud and happy as much as I am" She hugged the photo close to her heart a single tear fell from her eye. "I just wished you're still here with us"
XOXOXO
Erza walked back to Natsu's room still couldn't believe what her mother is planning on doing irritating her to no end. But still she couldn't help but smile. She felt happy and sure she found her irritating but she's happy that she could have moments like this with her mother. "Though I really wish she would stop trying to bed Natsu". Upon arriving at his room she knocked a few times before the door opened revealing Natsu wearing a bathrobe his normally spiky hair down framing his face which she found looked good on him.
"Hi Erza what's up" he looked outside finding Elione gone "where's your mom? I thought we were training?" Natsu asked before getting hit upside the head by Erza who marched towards his bed sitting on the edge as she scanned the room as Natsu followed suit. "What was that for?"
"I see your room is nice" Erza commented her face stoic as always as she scanned the room.
Natsu inwardly rolled his eyes 'and she complains about having Elione as a mother' "so, can't sleep?" Erza nodded before he stood up and took his pack and went to the dividers to change. Erza's eye followed his trail up to the dividers where his shadow can only be seen. "So why can't you sleep?" Natsu asked as he removed his bathrobe leaving him naked. Erza's voice died in her throat as she saw him naked partly anyway. "Erza… is something wrong?"
Erza cleared her throat. "Uh? Nothing I just got distracted that's all" Natsu came out of the dividers wearing loose fitting slacks not even bothering to wear a shirt. Erza's mind went to overdrive as she imagined that Natsu went behind her wrapping his arms around her possessively before capturing her lips in a kiss.
Meanwhile Natsu pokes Erza's cheek noticing she's in some sort of a daze again. "She's been doing that a lot lately" Natsu once again noticed how beautiful Erza is as he stared at her, a tinge of pink in her cheeks. Somehow he wished he could draw like Reedus so he could have one as a souvenir and not just Erza but Mirajane too as he seemed to have taken a habit of just staring at the two. He wondered what's with the sudden interest but reasoned that he had nothing else to do. He looked at Erza still in a daze the blush on her cheek growing as his playful side kicked in pointing his finger a few centimeter from her cheek. "Hey Erza"
"Eek!" Erza squeaked from the sudden touch as Natsu laughed. A tick mark appeared on her head. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at Natsu with enough force as he fell off the bed.
"What the hell? That hurts!" Natsu stood up rubbing his sore face.
"Wear a shirt there's a woman in the room" Erza replied calmly. Before Natsu could reply his pack was thrown at his face with the same force. Grumbling he took out a shirt the one that Mirajane made for him. a black shirt with a goofy drawing of his face and Happy on it.
"So what it's like to finally meet your mother" Natsu asked sitting down beside Erza. Her face stoic as always but he could clearly see the myriad of emotions behind her brown orbs a small but happy smile appeared on her face.
"She's frustrating, and acts like a kid just like you" she leaned her head on his shoulder as the gesture has become normal for Erza but wouldn't do it in front of the others.
"Hey! That's not true" Natsu shot back taking offense on what she said but she just ignored him.
"I'm happy that I have her as a mother" Erza confessed as Natsu patted her in the head much like saying 'good for you'. The room fell into silence the only noise coming from the breeze outside and the burning of wood in the fireplace.
Natsu yawned breaking the silence "I'm tired. Wanna sleep together?" Natsu asked as Erza's eyes almost popped out of their sockets at the question and stared at him. "I know you can't sleep without me by your side" he teased and got elbowed off the bed. "Fine I'll sleep in the chair" Natsu grumbled something incoherent and before he got any farther he felt someone tugged at the hem of his shirt looking back he saw Erza her face still stoic but a light tinge of pink stained her cheeks. Sighing in understanding "fine but don't beat me up like last time just because I'm a rowdy sleeper" she didn't reply and remove the bathrobe before lying on the right side of the bed facing opposite of Natsu. Natsu was somewhat regretting joking or even mentioning sleeping together with Erza due to his dreams of her and him. He sighed and took the other side wishing he wouldn't have one as he might end up not seeing tomorrow.
"Natsu…" Erza called and he grunted a response "your hand" he gave his right hand "the other one" he rolled to the other side facing her back and gave the said hand. She took it with her left and placed it over her stomach which made Natsu uncomfortable while spooning closer against him. "It's cold" Erza answered his unmentioned question. He didn't like being turned into a portable heater but didn't care anymore as he found their position quite nice and decided to be comfortable himself. He tightened his embrace on Erza and brought her closer to him burying his nose on her hair inhaling her scent.
Erza was about to ask why he brought her closer to him but Natsu beat her to it. "It's cold" Natsu muttered finding it easier to sleep with someone close to him like Happy.
"Liar" Erza smiled spooning closer to him and he tightened his embrace at the same time. The fell asleep a few minutes later as a content smile appeared on both of their faces with the two experiencing the best sleep in their entire lives.
XOXOXO
Meanwhile back at the guild after everyone has left except for two people. Mirajane cleaning up the place while Cana just nursing a beer in her hand. A common scene in the guild, they are always the two that is last to leave the place. After cleaning all tables Mirajane returned to the bar and looked at the general direction where Natsu is before letting out a sigh.
"Still in love with him huh?" Cana asked before downing her glass and refilling it again.
"Yup" Mirajane replied "in love with him back then and still in love with him now" she took out a shot glass and her usual drink a bottle of Everclear. Filling her glass and downing it in one shot, allowing the clear liquid to burn her throat. Cana whistled as it was little known fact about their resident bar tender and waitress that when it comes to drinking Mirajane outclasses Cana by a long shot second only to Natsu who's practically immune to the stuff. Only two people knew of this one is her and the other is Natsu. They found out when they decided to have a bet to see who can drink the most without passing out. It was both a painful and happy memory for her due to the fact that she is a known alcoholic and drinks in barrels just for fun. But that was mostly beer and the one they decided to drink is something that would knock a normal person out with a single shot. To make the story short she was out after the one bottle and Mirajane passed out after the 3rd bottle leaving Natsu to carry their unconscious body home.
"You never cease to amaze me drinking that thing like its water. The master can't even consume a single bottle" Cana pointed at a half empty bottle of the same alcohol. While Mirajane just shrugged taking another shot leaning her head on the palm of her hand staring at the bottle of alcohol.
"Tell me, is it me or Erza seems more attached to Natsu?" Mirajane asked downing another cup. Cana just shrugged not really noticing anything different about the resident knight.
"Why? Don't tell me you're jealous of Erza. You're just imagining things. She wouldn't like an idiot like Natsu" Cana replied matter-of-factly taking another swig of her beer.
"Oh? But didn't you told me once that his cute. Besides he's the complete package his loyal, kind, and cute. His cluelessness just adds to his appeal" Mirajane lectured while Cana couldn't help but agree.
"Yeah, yeah you're right... But his still an idiot" Cana quipped while Mirajane giggled.
"That he is. But I still love him all the same" Mirajane replied taking another shot of her drink settling into silence.
"Hey Mira"
"What is it?"
"Tell me what happened that night when the three of us made that dare" Mirajane froze Cana as eyed her from the rim of her mug. "Natsu was… I don't know blushing every time he sees you. I asked him why but he just told me you were weird when drunk" Cana looked at Mirajane to find her blushing much like Erza's bright scarlet hair the alcohol adding to the effect.
FLASHBACK
Natsu sighed as he managed to accomplish carrying one of the two drunken women home. Now he is walking along the road towards the takeover sibling's house at the other side of town. Scrunching his nose from the strong smell of alcohol coming from his passenger, as he wondered why he got suckered in their stupid bet.
Natsu just looked up in the star filled sky until he felt something wet hit his shoulders. "Gross Mira Your drooling!" as if response from his reaction she started to stir.
Looking at Natsu with half lidded eyes and a pleasant smile in her face "hey Natsu" he grunted while she smiled and buried herself deeper in the crook of his neck. "Hey Natsu"
"What?"
"Am I pretty? Cana said I was a tomboy" Mirajane slurred and whined her head buried in his back her grip tightening around his neck. "Do I really act like a boy huh? Natsu"
"A little"
"So I am a tomboy?" Mirajane slurred as tears started to fall from her eyes. Natsu groaned as he felt himself getting wet again this time with her tears.
'I really can't understand girls' Natsu sighed "hey Mira stop crying. You're not a tomboy. You're just tough that's all… and strong. Tough and strong they just can't handle your attitude that's all. Besides I think you're cool. Both You and Erza"
"I don't wanna be cool. I wanna be pretty" Mirajane whined
Natsu rolled his eyes "fine! You're beautiful. Happy?"
Mirajane giggled burying herself on his back like a little girl "Do you like me?"
"Yes"
"Really?"
"Yes"
"Really, Really?"
"Yes I really, really like you" Natsu replied some annoyance slipping in his voice though she didn't seem to notice as she just giggled and he felt her blush. He didn't know how but he could really imagine her blushing behind him.
"I really, really like you too Natsu" Mirajane replied this time making him blush and uncomfortable.
"You act like a kid when you're drunk" Mirajane giggled again and he found himself smiling.
"I'm not acting like a kid because I'm drunk. Being drunk is just a coincidence... I'm like this because I'm with you" Mirajane replied.
"Because you're with me" Natsu asked as she nodded. He felt uncomfortable at what she said not knowing the funny feeling that suddenly appeared in his stomach; it was like a hundred butterflies decided to take residence in his stomach. "I don't get"
"There's nothing to get. Maybe I'll just show you someday" Mirajane replied as she fell asleep again as Natsu continued his walk towards her home.
Arriving at her house finding the other occupant's asleep not really wanting to wake up the other residence he jump up to the second floor where her room is opened the window and slipped inside. He slowly placed the sleeping Mirajane to her bed who's gripped only seemed to tighten not wanting to let go. After making sure she's tucked in her bed he went for the window ready to jump outside and go home until he was unceremoniously dragged back inside rolling onto the floor.
"What the- Mira?" Natsu whispered rubbing the back of his head as he looked at Mirajane standing in front of him. Before he could ask anything she grabbed his feet and threw him to her bed with her sitting at the edge of the bed.
"Why leave so early Natsu. You haven't even given me a goodnight kiss" Mirajane questioned Natsu her voice playful.
"Fine" Natsu leaned in close and gave her a kiss on the forehead "Happy? Goodnight" but before he could go anywhere a sharp tug from his scarf pulled him back in lying on his back on her bed.
"That wasn't a goodnight kiss. Here let me show you why I like you and how to give a proper goodnight kiss" Mirajane slowly drew her face towards Natsu her eyes closed and lips partly opened. Natsu stared wide eyed at the beautiful demon in front of him slowly approaching him and with just a few centimeters left before their lips met. She fell above him like a log missing his lips as her slow and even breathing signifying that she's asleep. Natsu sighed as he felt the heat coming from his cheeks as Mirajane is literally all over him. He tried to move but Mirajane wrapped her arms around him possessively pressing her body against his squishing her breast against his chest. Natsu blushed at how soft her skin is and the way her breast is pressed against his chest almost making him want to stay just the way he is but the thought of a giant pink rabbit Lisanna stomping on him shot down the idea. It was a half an hour later when her grip around him loosened just enough so he could wiggle his way out. A very terrifying yet pleasurable feeling ran through him as her body rubbed against his and the soft moans that would escape her lips during the process. After escaping he immediately went to his house and sleep with thoughts of Mirajane plagued him that night.
FLASHBACK END
Of course when Mirajane woke up the next day she could clearly remember what she said when he was carrying her back home but anything beyond that was a blur. She eventually asked Natsu who would blush at the sight of her what did she did that night which he told her as she too had a blushing fit and made him promise never to mention about anything that happened to anyone.
"So? What happened?" Cana asked
"I was acting like a kid" Mirajane replied telling her half the truth which she didn't believe.
"Was that all, because I highly doubt Natsu would blush at something that silly. Unless you showed him your birthday suit like a kid" Cana replied wiggling her eyebrows at the blushing Mirajane.
Mirajane took one last shot "no. but look at the time let's close up and leave" she took Cana's glass and placed it on the sink along with hers. Returning her personal stash as they got up and left and as they neared the gate she tried again.
"Seriously tell me what happened" Cana asked
"No" Mirajane quipped
"Stingy" Cana stuck out her tongue as they separated ways "well there goes my black mail material and 3 million jewels"
XOXOXO
Erza woke up to find her source of warmth gone but a smile is clearly visible on her face. For the first time she felt happy, well rested, and no perverted dreams as she found out that it was nice sleeping beside Natsu. She felt protected and nothing would be able to harm her as long as he's beside her.
"Speaking of Natsu, Where is he?" Erza looked around to find no trace of her sleeping partner. She got up from bed the smile never living her face as she went to the washroom to wash her face. She got out of the washroom and lay back down on the bed staring at the ceiling. Recalling how nice it felt within his embrace. She couldn't believe it. She was giggling like a school girl. Her Erza scarlet the calm and collected Re-equip S-Class mage of Fairy Tail is in her love interest bed giggling like a school girl. She couldn't help it. Feeling very warm and fuzzy at the memory as she only experienced it twice.
This was her second time; the first time was when she got her last name 'Scarlet'. Jellal that brought about a lot of memories good and bad ones and much like her he was an orphan and the first one to reach out to her when she became a slave becoming, her first friend and a person she could look up to. Admiration change to affection when he gave her a last name and slowly she fell for him much like he fell for her, but everything change when she lost her eye and things went bad to worse after that, he got possessed turning him into a heartless murderer and manipulated the others. "Well that was a downer" Erza decided to stay in little longer seeing that she's in a vacation.
"TSU-CHAN! Let's go on a breakfast date while my daughter is out" Elione walked in to Natsu's room but frowned when she found her daughter "oh it's you" Erza's eye twitched at the comment her mother continued to look for Natsu.
"Just me? I'm your long lost daughter that you just found yesterday" Erza snapped while her mother just sighed.
"I guess Natsu got up early" Elione released a disappointed sigh as Erza ground her teeth. "That leaves me with you" before Erza could reply her mother grabbed her arm and began dragging her along. "A date with a girl is like eating out with friends"
'Must not kill' Erza chanted in her head the urge to strangle the older woman as she got dragged away to wherever her mother was planning to bring Natsu.
Arriving at the garden behind the castle, Erza was at a loss for words at how beautiful it is. Lush trees surrounding a vast clearing of a near endless sea of grass, coble stone pathway leading to a white gazebo surrounded by hedges, and a table with the food that was meant for her mother's and Natsu's breakfast date with Tanaka standing near its entrance.
"Your highness" Tanaka greeted Elione who just nodded "princess" Erza a little uncomfortable with being called a princess but nodded all the same as they took a seat on either side.
"Do you know where Tsu-chan is?" Elione asked as she looked over the food. While Erza just gripped the chair harder at her mother's pet name for HER Natsu.
"Master Dragneel woke up early and decided to get some training" Tanaka replied as Elione pouted and Erza nodded in understanding. Elione told him to get Natsu as he nodded and walked out.
"Tell me about… my father" Erza asked breaking the silence of their breakfast. Elione raised an eyebrow before pulling something from her impressive cleavage as Erza blushed at the sight. Finding what she was looking for threw it at Erza who caught it in her hand. It was a locket with the heart kreuz symbol in the middle. Opening the locket she saw a picture of a couple a female wearing an armor that looked like her with scarlet hair of a deeper shade a stoic look on her face with a smile that was barely noticeable. Beside her a man taller than her by an inch or so wearing a white button up shirt and a simple gray coat smiling and if she didn't know any better she would have mistaken him for Natsu if not for his shoulder length white hair that's less unruly than Natsu and doesn't have the same ferocious look that he has. His arm around the woman's waist his brown eyes showed his apprehension and happiness a shy smile on his blushing face.
"He looked like Tsu-chan, huh?" Erza nodded "that picture was taken a year before I got pregnant and the same time we have reclaimed the fallen capitol. It was our first date. Your father was…" she placed a slender finger on her chin in thought before she continued "the weakest mage I've ever met, the only magic he knows is teleportation magic, He can't fight to save his life and or even run away for that matter, I always have to protect him every time we fight. All in all his the most pathetic person you'd ever meet" Erza raised an eyebrow at her mother.
"But you know even though I'm stronger than he is. He managed to save me more times than I can count. You know after the fall of the empire I was consumed with revenge. I'll charge in to the enemy lines and slaughter everyone that stood in my way with Tanaka as my backup. He's still Sigmund Faust back then the last surviving general. So… yeah I went on battle after battle until six months later I drove us into a corner. Tanaka was injured and we're pretty much surrounded by three hundred men, the king, and the three remaining generals. I was really sure we were gonna die that day. Well that was until I met your dad" Elione giggled at the memory "suddenly someone slammed behind my back. There he was a confused look on his face as he apparently got teleported in the middle of the kingdoms army. So left with no other option I grabbed him by the collar and this was the exact words I told your father when I first met him 'Get us out of here if you don't want to die! By my hands' so you're father paled and the next thing we knew the three of us are somewhere in the middle of the Chronos" Erza sighed thinking that the woman was in no way related to her. She doesn't go around threatening people to do what she wants. She merely asks them in a calm manner leaving no room for arguments.
"And ever since that day your father has been by my side, at first it was necessity since he can transport me when I get cornered. But before I knew it I can't fight without him by my side. He always takes care of me, protects me, and saved me from myself, showing me that there's more to life than revenge that my battle isn't for my father anymore but the fate of this land. I've finally realized that I've fallen for your father when he saved me from the killing blow I'm supposed to receive" Elione had a pleasant smile on her face as she recalled the memory. "I asked him why he did it because I always thought that he stays by my side because he can't protect himself. He told me that the reason he always stayed by my side is because he'd fallen in love with me and he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he allowed me to die. After reclaiming the capitol I never left his side on his road to recovery and a week later that picture was taken" Elione pointed at the locket as Erza nodded. "wanna go on a walk?"
"Sure" Erza shrugged as the two started walking towards the forest. She found that her mother however eccentric she is. Is nice to be with specially if she isn't trying to get into Natsu's pants as they slowly walked along a path in the forest, Elione humming a tune making her feel at ease and comfortable.
XOXOXO
In a clearing outside the capitol a large boulder exploded into a hundred pieces as a fist collided against it as another boulder exploded a powerful kick connected. The area looked like a battlefield with a lot of debris scattered. The destruction is caused by a pink haired dragon slayer unleashing blow after blow, honing his skills and reflexes to match and overcome Erza's. After destroying another boulder he fell back first into the ground to get some rest.
"That was good warm up" Natsu muttered. His thoughts occupied by the stoic knight he slept in the same bed last night. He started to enjoy her company more than he would admit and He also started to enjoy her little quirks. her loved for sweets specially cheesecake, the way she blushes every time she takes a peek in Lucy's lingerie collection, the way she lets out a uncharacteristic 'Eek' every time she gets startled, her love for reading though he never knows what she reads, her penchant for gambling, her caring personality underneath her rough exterior towards their members, and finally the way she smiles at him whenever their alone together and enjoying each other's company. A smile crept in to his face as he envisioned Erza smile the smile that's reserved for him and only him as he felt his heart race and his cheeks flush. "I know I'd do anything for Erza just as much as anyone of our comrades and I do like her. But to what extent?" he sighed as new feelings started to surface from the dragon slayer "I like this feeling. Though I don't know what it is. Maybe I'll ask Mirajane about it sometime" he closed his eyes for a moment until a familiar scent came in to contact. Standing up he greeted his visitor "hey old man. What's up?"
"My, you did quite a mess around here master Natsu" Tanaka commented as he scanned the destruction caused by Natsu around the area.
"Did I do something wrong? Is there a sign saying 'No Training allowed' in the area? I didn't saw it I swear. Please don't tell Erza. She'll gut me alive" Natsu begged as another thing about Erza was her short fuse when it comes to breaking rules. Tanaka just chuckled dismissing his worries as the two walked back towards the capitol.
"I came here to get you master Natsu. It's time you get back to Fiore" Tanaka offered as they walked back to town.
"Well that's strange. We just got here and now she wants to go back. Did they have a fight or something?" Natsu asked confused closing his eyes in thought "I really don't get her" Natsu stopped when he noticed Tanaka stepped in front of him. His normally smiling face replaced with a mask of utter seriousness as he suddenly felt deadly aura emanate from the man in front of him.
"I'm afraid that the only one returning is you Salamander. The princess decided to stay behind to ascend the throne" his voice cold and devoid of emotion as Natsu raised his guard.
"What do you mean staying? She didn't tell me about her staying here and becoming emperor. Tell me where is Erza?" Natsu asked his guard fully raised. Tanaka removed his monocle and placed it in his pocket and stared at Natsu his eyes narrowing.
"I'm afraid you can't see the princess as she specifically asked that she not see you. So if you'd be so kind as to allow me to accompany you back to the port city-"Natsu tried to brush pass him. But a firm grip on his shoulders stopped him before he was thrown back. Twisting in midair and landing on his feet glaring at the man in front of him. "As I suspected you're not going to fall for a simple trick like that. You see the princess is the only heir to the throne. So we can't allow her to leave and after I have escorted you out of the country and tell that you left her behind. Seeing that she only came because you tagged along and by removing you, making her stay here would be easy enough. So if you'd be- "he wasn't able to finish as a fist came flying at his direction. With senses and honed through years of fighting he simply stepped to the side and caught Natsu's fist, flipping him in the air and delivering a powerful kick to his back sending him flying to a nearby tree. Natsu immediately got up and began running towards the town's direction. "I guess were doing it the hard way" Tanaka stretched out his hand a magic seal appearing. "Earth Citadel" the ground beneath Natsu's feet began to shake until the earth rose in front of him creating a large wall that seems to extend indefinitely in all directions.
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist" Natsu attacked the earth wall, His burning fist impacting the wall creating an explosion of dust and debris. As the dust cleared he saw that he wasn't able to punch through and the damage he made started to regenerate. "What the hell is this?"
"There's no point in trying to escape Salamander" Tanaka spoke as he appeared from the bushes. "That wall won't be destroyed so easily. And seeing that you chose to resist I'm going to have to use force and send you back in a stretcher"
Natsu cracked his knuckles "is that so old man? I guess I'll have to beat you up so I could go to Erza" flames begin to surround Natsu as he prepared himself to fight the man standing in his way towards Erza.
"We shall see" extending his hands as another magic seal "Earth Strike" he braced himself for an attack from the front that never came as he felt something hit him from behind. A pillar sprouts from the wall hitting him square in the back sending him flying towards Tanaka's direction who stepped to the side as he passed him by yet again. Natsu quickly twists in the air landing feet first on the tree his supposed to hit. Landing firmly on the ground he reared his head back, puffing his cheeks releasing one of his most powerful attacks.
"Fire Dragon's Roar" a massive torrent of flame, burning everything it comes across headed towards Tanaka's direction. Who didn't even flinch as he caught the attack head on as it continued pass him slamming against the wall he created. Natsu was forced to stop the attack as a sharp object came out in the middle of his attack that ran past him grazing his cheek, before it was followed by more of the same spikes along with Tanaka holding a axe made from earth, swinging it horizontally cleaving the giant tree behind him in half as he managed to jump to avoid it. Landing a few feet away to see Tanaka pretty much unharmed as the weapon he was holding crumbled into dust. "How?"
"That was quite a show of power back there. If I wasn't able to make a wall in time I would have been in a really bad state right now" Tanaka said coolly as he looked behind the destruction that Natsu caused. A small part of the forest completely ablaze nothing left untouched from the wake of the attack. Looking back towards Natsu's direction in time to block a fist "you have a good sense in battle" he applauded blocking Natsu's kick. "But not good enough" the next thing Natsu knew he was lifted off the ground and thrown off. Tanaka followed suit to push the attack. Twisting in mid air and landing on his feet just in time to cross his arms to block a powerful punch pushing him back a few feet. Natsu grinned at successfully blocking the attack only to drop as Tanaka grabbed his wrist and lifted him again before slamming him on the ground. Reeling his fist back to deliver a powerful blow to Natsu's gut only to miss a he rolled to the side and launching himself off the ground backing away a few feet before launching himself again towards Tanaka. He efficiently stopped every blow Natsu delivered with little effort until Tanaka took hold of his fist again. "You are quite easy to read Salamander" Tanaka said matter-of-factly but frowned when Natsu smirked.
"I was holding back on you seeing that you were kind to us and everything" Natsu replied an amused smile appeared on his opponents face. Natsu reared his hand back as flames began to envelop it. "Fire Dragon's Destructive Fang" Tanaka immediately dropped Natsu's fist just in time to cross him arms in front of his torso as Natsu's attack connected. Exploding on impact sending him flying towards a group of trees breaking through each one he hits. Natsu began to erupt in flames. "Fire Dragon's Sword Edge" launching himself head-on towards Tanaka who managed to create earth walls that Natsu went through easily as he collided against his target. Sending Tanaka flying past through the clearing where Natsu was training onto a large boulder and continues on to the other side into the forest. Landing on his feet he reared his head back again to push his attack "Fire Dragon's Roar" releasing another torrent of flame carving a path towards Tanaka and creating a huge explosion that can be heard for miles. "Take that!" sticking his tongue out at Tanaka's direction. "Hope I didn't kill him"
"Thanks for your concern. But I'm afraid you'll have to pay for what you did to my suit" Tanaka replied walking out of what's left of the forest that was unfortunately in the path of Natsu's attack. Ripping of what's left of his shirt and jacket revealing his muscular form a large scar on his right shoulder. "Ground Explosion" it was the last thing that Natsu saw when a large spike erupted from the ground.
XOXOXO
"Tell me mother. If you don't mind how… my father… died" Erza asked out of the blue as Elione gave her a sidelong glance as she considered her for a moment.
"Sure… I don't mind. It is something I truly regret up to this day. It was nice sunny day like this and we were all out on a picnic a year and seven months after reclaiming the capitol and we already managed to reclaim a quarter of the empire. I know it's bad taste to go on a picnic during war but we were inside our own lands and the fighting was happening away from us. We were having a lot of fun. You would try to crawl to away but your father would always stop you and tell you it's dangerous to wander on your own. Of course you'd nod like you understand what your father was saying and he would put you down thinking that you really did understand and a few seconds later you'd crawl away again. It's quite fun to watch how gullible your father when it comes to you" Elione giggled at the memory but took on a more solemn look as she continued.
"Everything was fine until a soldier arrive saying that the king was going to join the fight. I was the only one who could match the king's power back then and I didn't want to waste the life of my soldiers if there are other options available. So I left and went to the frontlines not knowing that it was just a ruse to get me away long enough to assassinate you" a sad smile marred her features as she went on.
"It was only when I arrived at the front lines when the king immediately pulled back and that's when it hit me. I rushed back as fast as I could and when I arrived it was already too late your father was already dying and your nowhere to be found. The first thing that your father told me was that he was sorry he sent you somewhere to save you, he just wasn't sure where you ended up in. he also told me not to worry about you because you were my daughter. Of course I got mad at him for making light of the situation. He was dying and you're someplace I don't know. I was starting to get consumed by revenge again and thinking of charging in the battlefield and slaughter everything in sight until there's nothing left between me and the king. But your father saved me yet again by making a bet. If he wins I give him a million jewels it was quite a big amount back then and if he loses I could use some sort of dark magic to bring him back to life so I could kill him myself for sending you off someplace unknown and just like always he won" Elione finished stopping as they reached a clearing
"I see…so what was the bet then" Erza asked wondering what kind of bet would make her mother stop from just charging and killing everyone.
"It was quite simple really. That I would meet you someday as long as I don't stop looking. You see if I would have went to fight off the king back then it would be a repeat of what my father went through but I'll be damned if I didn't bring him down to hell with me. You're father knew that and stopped me from making that mistake" Elione replied coolly as she's back to her old happy self.
"I guess he was a great man" Elione nodded "I guess that means I'm you're only child and heir to the throne" Erza asked studying the woman in front of her.
"Yup I didn't think of having another man aside from your father and it's a good thing that you brought up the problem with succeeding the throne" Elione once again reached in her impressive cleavage and took out a photo and threw it to Erza.
"Who is this person?" Erza asked as she studied the photo and somehow she already knew the person.
"Your future husband" Elione said simply "you already passed the age where you are now eligible for the throne and by the day after tomorrow I would announce your return and your crowning ceremony will be the next day"
"I don't want to get married to some stranger I don't know and if I become emperor? Does that mean I can't go back to Fiore?" Erza asked to which her mother nodded "I refuse. Sorry but I'm going to get Natsu and were leaving" Erza started to leave but her mother blocked her path.
"I'm sorry dear but I'm afraid that's not possible and Natsu is probably on the train heading back to the port city. Earlier today I asked Tanaka to tell Natsu everything and escort him back" Elione replied trying to persuade her daughter into staying.
"Natsu wouldn't leave me here without telling me. He wouldn't… he's not like that" Erza reasoned some of her fear of being left behind and betrayed slip in her voice. Elione noticed this and frowned but pushed through.
"It's ok dear. I'm here for you I'll help you become a great emperor. Besides Natsu might already-"Elione stopped as they heard an explosion from afar as she sighed and Erza's face brightens up. "I guess Tsu-chan didn't bought Tanaka's explanation"
"Sorry mother but I have to go" Erza tried to ran past her only to be blocked yet again "move mother or I'll be forced to remove you by any means necessary"
"I really didn't want to resort to this. How about we have a bet?" Elione offered as Erza stand down.
"Ok what are the stakes?" Erza asked
"first promise me that you would not back away after hearing the stakes" Erza complied as she smiled in triumph "if I win you stay and be emperor and tell Natsu to go back and that this is what you want" Erza nodded again " and if I lose you could go back to your guild"
"Is that all? We could go back no strings attached" Erza asked finding something wrong.
"I didn't say Natsu would come back with you. I said YOU could go back. But Natsu would stay to become my husband so I can give birth to another heir seeing…"Elione frowned when Erza started laughing.
"You won't be able to get Natsu's attention. He's pretty dense for a guy. Believe me I tried and your too old for him" Erza stopped laughing as she saw her mother's smirk.
"Apparently you don't know a thing about men. No matter how dense or strong a guy's will is. A little flash of forbidden flesh and rubbing in certain areas will slowly chip away their resistance and believe me it works. That's how I snag your father and I'm not that old dear I was only 17 when I had you. So do the math" Elione lectured a victorious smirk framing her features.
"Natsu would never stay in this place. He wouldn't. His family is Fairy Tail, with us… with me. That's why I'll win and will go home together even if we have to fight our way out of this place" Erza exclaimed as she re-equip a sword.
"I see I didn't wasn't to resort to this too either" Elione held out a lacrima and Tanaka's face appeared "Tanaka I'm allowing you to assassinate Natsu if my daughter managed to beat me and tries to run away with my prize" Tanaka nodded as his image disappeared.
"You! I can't believe you would resort to such tactics" Erza snarled as her mother adopted a bored look.
"I'm merely doing what is best for the empire. So still thinking of running away with Natsu if you lose, because Tanaka could end his life easily" Elione replied playing with her hair.
"So whatever the outcome is you would win either way" Elione nodded 'I guess I have no choice but to become emperor. At least Natsu would be back at Fairy Tail' "fine I give-"she never got to finish as she deflected the object her mother threw at her. "A fork?" she looked at her mother a disapproving look in her face.
"I'm sorry but I can't allow that. So either you fight me or Natsu dies" Elione asked her face a look of utter seriousness. "But seeing that you already accepted your faith, I'm giving myself a handicap" Elione's magic seal appeared underneath her feet and to Erza's surprise their seals are the almost same with the exception of the seals center as it contained the Empire's seal a shield and sword as it expanded to cover the area of the clearing before disappearing. "Wow you've got quite a collection of armors dear. But I'm afraid none of them is a fit for my generous figure"
"What are you talking about?" Erza asked as she felt her connection with her armors lost.
"Oh it's simple dear. This will really prove that we're related. Try re-equipping your Purgatory armor" Elione offered and Erza tried to do as she was told and to her surprise she can't summon her armor. "You see the fact that you are my daughter allows me to share and even use your armors or I could simply block you from using them. It's a magic only the emperor of the empire can use. It's called Valkyrie. So now that you can't use any armor this will be an easy victory"
"I may have accepted my faith but you declined my offer to surrender. I'll just make sure you regret it" Erza charged towards her mother stunning the woman as Erza re-equipped in to her Dragon Slayer armor and bringing the giant blade down just in time as her mother is bathed in white light. The strength of the impact shattered the ground where Elione is standing covering the two in a cloud of dust. A few seconds later Erza jumped away from the dust cloud. "As I expected a simple blow like that won't kill you".
The dust cleared revealing Elione in her armor. A black helm with gold lining on its edges, it covered a portion of her face leaving her eyes and mouth visible. The helms design resembled a huge crown with three tips. She wore a large black armor with a gold metal plate that ran vertically in the middle that covered her chest extending to her mid section and ran to her shoulders acting as shoulder guards going around her back where a cape is connected. Underneath her armor she wore a black skintight suit with the same gold trimming as the armor that covered her body up to her wrist and her mid thighs. She wore black gauntlets that ran up to her elbows with wing like ornaments on its end the rest of her arms covered with the black suit. She also wore black greaves ending on her knees with the same wing like ornaments covering her knees, a black skirt that ended mid thigh along with a black waist coat with gold lining on its edges. In her left hand she held a shield where a sword is holstered inside.
"Oh? I thought I blocked you from using all of your armors" Elione asked as she lowered her shield as she dusted herself.
"You did. To tell you the truth I don't know where this armor came from. But one thing I know is I could always count on this armor" 'just like I could always count on Natsu' Erza added as an afterthought.
"Is that so? Come at me then" Elione taunted. Erza immediately charged towards her mother and spun around swinging the halberd to take out Elione's leg, as she simply brought down her shield to block the attack. Erza pushed through and tried to cleave her mother in half and just like earlier she easily blocks it by unsheathing her sword. "A good follow through. But I'm afraid it's not good enough" Elione kicked Erza in the mid section with strength that belies her slender form sending her daughter a few feet away and following it up by sending a dozen swords after Erza. Erza saw the attack coming and blocked it with the flat side of her blade. She looked at the swords that was sent at her direction and realized that they owned those swords. Elione dashed towards Erza and unsheathes her sword and draws it in an upward diagonal slash hitting Erza's blade and flinging it away in some direction. Elione followed up by kicking her in the mid section just enough for Erza to double in pain. Bringing down her sword to strike Erza down but was blocked by the pole of Erza's halberd. Elione swatted the weapon away and continued in her weapons arc and twirled bringing her weapon down again on Erza connecting on her shoulder as she and delivered two more strikes before elbowing Erza with enough force sending her backwards a few feet away.
"You need more training dear" Elione tried to pick up Erza's halberd only to drop it from the intense heat and disappear into flames. Sensing immediate danger she jumped backwards in time to avoid Erza's attack. Erza's spinning attack collided against the ground as flames erupted from the ground heading towards her mother's direction. Elione's sword started to glow. She swings it upward sending a silver energy based attack against Erza's flames generating another explosion. Elione immediately raised her shield to block the barrage of fireballs that shot through the cloud of dust pushing her back every hit that connected. 'She's quite powerful' Elione thought a pleased smile in her face.
After the last fireball hit Erza appeared a few feet in front of her. She dodged another sweep at her legs by Erza's halberd by jumping in the air as she blocked the five consecutive thrust and with the final thrust connecting against Elione's shield creating an explosion that sent her flying in the air. She twists in midair and summoned fifty of Erza's sword to rain down on their owner. Erza quickly combining her weapons to create the Aegis blade and blocked the assault and at the same time sending her orbiting shields to her mother's direction who merely swatted them away. After landing and swatting Erza's shield projectiles. She ran towards Erza and jumping in the air and brandishing her sword. Erza jumps away from her mother's attack that connected on the ground a huge magic seal appeared as the ground shattered launching hundreds of spectral swords at Erza who wasn't able to block all of the attack. Erza managed to land on her feet panting. The damage on her armor slowly regenerating as Elione simply pulled her sword of the ground before the two rushed each other again. "Fang Dive" Erza roared as she jumps swinging her blade upward sending a pillar of fire towards Elione. Elione quickly sheathes her sword and spun around and extends her hand creating a magic seal "Divine Pulse" a silver orb shot out of her hand and collided with Erza's attack and exploded into a giant wall blocking the attack. Erza flourished her Aegis blade downward descending at her mother who dispelled her attack prompting the fire pillar to continue its course both attack connecting at the same time creating a massive explosion as Erza jumps out of the cloud of smoke and readies for another attack her blade change into a giant spear "Lustrous Fang". She threw the giant spear towards the cloud of smoke as another explosion rocked the area.
"That was quite impressive dear" Elione appeared behind Erza the only sign she was in the middle of the attack was the line of blood coming from her forehead. Erza immediately spun around and crossed her arms. "Divine Crush" Elione flips forward slamming her sword on the ground causing an explosion launching Erza in the air and as quickly as Erza is lifted in the air jumps back and swings her sword horizontally creating a large arc of silver energy colliding against Erza dragging her along a few meters before dissipating letting her roll along the ground. Erza slowly stood up her left arm dangling, a large gash can be seen where she absorb the full brunt of the attack. She summoned her spear at her right hand while her armor regenerated.
"Had enough?" Elione asked her look impassive but frowned when Erza rushed towards her "Rising Fang" Erza swings her spear upward as Elione moved to the side to avoid but Erza followed through as she spun around in a horizontal slash that connected on Elione's shield flinging her to the side. Erza quickly followed as she swatted away the swords sent her way as she spins towards Elione who is doing her best not to get hit. After the fifth spin Erza raised her spear which started to glow and slammed it in front of her as flames erupted from the ground in waves rushing towards Elione who blocked it with her noticed Erza's shields heading at her direction and blocked it by sending swords against it. Drawing her sword back as it starts to get enveloped in silver light "Divine Buster" she thrusts her sword forward as the silver energy extended forward clearing a path in the middle of the flames. Quickly withdrawing her spear from the ground and reverting it back to its blade form to block the attack. The two rushed each other and engaged in close quarters as sparks flew as their weapons clashed blocking each other's attack as Erza used her shields to favor her left side the injury in her arm hampering her ability to properly defend herself as Elione continued her assault focusing on Erza's injured arm. Summoning swords at Erza's back to attack her from behind which was easily blocked by her shields, using the small opening and delivered a powerful upward slash on Erza's blade creating an opening as she rushed in and slammed her shield against Erza as she followed through by swatting her with the shield.
Erza was send tumbling backwards and using her good arm to push herself of the ground and flipping backward to land on her feet and rushed back. Elione swings her sword horizontally only to miss as Erza lowered herself and swinging her blade with all her might towards Elione who managed to block the attack sending her flying in the air. Twisting in midair she re-sheathes her sword "Chaotic Divine Crush" quickly drawing her sword launching a gigantic silver arc towards Erza who had her blade in place to block the attack. The arc collided on the blade as the part that didn't made contact with the blade continued to the ground creating and explosion as Elione unleashed nine more consecutive strikes. Elione landed a few meters away as she surveyed the area as the trees surrounding the clearing destroyed creating a mass expanse of open field, the once grass filled clearing now a wasteland, the earth scarred with their powerful attacks. She scanned the plume of dust and smoke where Erza took on her attack.
"I hope she's alright" Elione was about to re-equipped into her dress when a giant flaming blade extended skywards before crashing down at her direction. Raising her shield to block the attack it didn't take long before she sacrificed her shield unable to hold the attack much longer as it continued its descend on the ground below creating a mile long gash on the ground. Erza lifted the blade again and brought her weapon horizontally against her mother as she blocked it with her sword. Elione continued to block out the attack until it dissipated into thin air as she saw Erza with her hand extended panting hard her armor fading in and out of existence. "I guess this is the end my dear"
"This… isn't… over… until you render me… unconscious" Erza proclaimed as she panted her eyes narrowing in concentration to trying stay conscious.
"It is dear. The moment you exhausted all of your magic" Elione replied a sad smile on her face as Erza dashed towards her swinging her blade haphazardly as Elione just jump to the side to avoid Erza who stumbled forward. "to think that I have to use this on you" Elione leapt forward and spun around slamming on the ground creating an explosion that launched Erza into the air as she followed through with two powerful strikes sending Erza higher in the air. After landing on the ground she jumps up in the air until she is above Erza. Erza stopped in midair trapped in the middle of two magic seals above her twenty different bladed weapons revolving around her as Elione hovered above Erza after raising her sword skyward "Lost Imperial Arts! Divine Crusade" she saw her mother grab the axe and strike her with it moving faster and faster with every weapon she grabs before delivering one powerful blow from her sword sending Erza crashing back to earth. Elione pointed her sword at Erza as all weapons rained down.
"ERZA!" Natsu shouted as he jumped out of the bushes his clothes in ruins. Just in time as the weapons reached her.
"Natsu?" was Erza last words before she was enveloped in white light as another explosion rocked the area.
OMAKE
Erza is lying in her bed sleeping lightly when her mother came bursting in to her room.
"Erza Scarlet Gottin Von Krieg What the hell is this trash?" Elione throwing a very familiar case where a couple of books came out of the case as Erza stared at its contents. "I can't believe your reading such things. These things don't suit someone of royal blood. As your mother I forbid you from reading such… such things"
"Whatever I chose to read is none of your concern mother. I'm old enough to read what I want!" Erza replied finding her voice embarrassed as her mother found her secret stash.
"No! I forbid you from reading these things" Elione picked up one and read a few line as her face contorted in disgust. "I can't believe you've taken a liking to these. They are bland, has no decent plot, overly used scenes, and I'm having trouble visualizing most of the scenes" Erza gawked at her mother as she once again began to take out something from the pocket space of her cleavage. Taking the red book out and throwing it at Erza's lap "there. Read that. It's one of my favorite books" Erza warily took the book and opened it reading a few pages and one uncharacteristic 'Eek' later. Erza passed out her face as red as her hair steam coming from her ears a small trickle of blood coming from her nose. "Kids" Elione shook her head in disappointment "if you want more just come to my room I have a whole section of the castle reserve for my personal collection" Elione said casually as she left.
