Chapter 4
Nighttime quickly came that day. What followed after Mirajane's win against Kagura was the battle between Lamia Scales' Sherry Blendy and Blue Pegasus' Silent Night, Ren Akatsuki. It was dubbed 'The Lovers' Quarrel of the Century' simply due to the reason that the audience were at the edge of their seats not because of how both were throwing massive amounts of Magical attacks but because how with each punch, lunge or offensive Magic they use, both were passionately gazing at each other, never letting the other win until the very end.
It was a fight that looked more like a dance than a war as their Guild Masters' have put it. Every evasion and attacks were like steps of a dance, movements were gracefully coordinated and in perfect synchrony. Girls fawned and boys drooled. Sadly, for those who watched, it was thirty seconds until the bell rang when Ren decided that victory should be handed to his respected guild.
After that, the people were requesting to see Lucy fight Laxus. They want to know if the blondes have the same harmony as the previous competitors. Fairy Tail Guild was surprised by that. Even them wants to see if Lucy can stand a chance against her fiancé but luckily, before even the guild members could be persuaded to join the audience in their cause, Makarov intervened and jokingly said that,
"They have yet to tie the knot and you already want them to fight?". That silenced everyone.
Sabertooth was still the reigning team with ten points, followed by Fairy Tail B with nine points. The third place went to Fairy Tail A, who now has seven points. Mermaid Heel took the fourth place with four points. Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus tied in the last place with both three points.
It was a shame that Lucy wasn't able to watch the fight. She was still in the infirmary that afternoon, talking to Laxus. Of course, there was a little making out here and there but still completely safe. No sex until the honeymoon. That was Lucy and Laxus both came into agreement. They want to make it a very special night for the both of them.
Now, they were currently inside Bar Sun with the whole guild and both blondes have their hands full of the wedding preparations. They have set it a month from now and truthfully, every member was also busy contributing their help because all of them were vying to be included in the entourage.
"Okay, Laxus, how many principal sponsors should we have?" Lucy asked.
"Maybe ten. Five for each." Laxus answered nonchalantly. He was so not into this whole wedding preparation thing.
"Who should we ask?"
"Uhmm…for men, we should have Gramps, Master Goldmine, Master Bob, Macao and Wakaba." Laxus suggested.
"Ooookkayyy." Lucy agreed. She doesn't actually know who to ask so she just jotted it down.
"What about the other five?" Laxus looked at her. Who would've actually thought that he'll put some teensy weensy bit of enthusiasm in this?
"Uhmm…I'm thinking of having First Master, Porlyusica-san, The Landlady, Master Ooba and Mrs. Spetto."
"Speaking of Mrs. Spetto, have you told her that you'll buy your old mansion again?" Laxus asked, trying to distract Lucy from the wedding preparations.
"Yes. I've told all of my father's staff last month." It was one of the promises she made to herself. After the Zentopia incident, Lucy made it up to herself to buy the mansion in honor of her parents' memory. It didn't surprise her that it costs a whopping amount of 200 million jewels simply because she knew how large and spacious their land was. She took various S-Class jobs alone just to save money but it was still a few hundred short. It was worth it though but there's one thing that she has to ask of Laxus about it.
"Laxus, when I bought it, I want to live there." There, she asked it. Considering Laxus was a man full of proud and ego, he'd definitely say no.
"No." And she was right. One point.
"Why not?"
"Because it's a husband's duty to provide for the family." Proud and ego. Two points for Lucy.
Before she could retort, a bird carrying a white envelope flew towards them.
"Message for Lucy Heartfilia!" It chirped.
"Here!" Lucy raised her hands as the bird went towards her. She took it and said her thanks.
"Huh? What's that for?" Laxus peeked.
"Let's open it." She put her fingers in the front of the envelope and a small Magic circle appeared with the image of the caretaker of the Heartfilia Mansion.
"Greetings, Ms. Heartfilia, I am deeply sorry to inform you that the mansion has already been bought by another person. The money they offered was double the original price. I cannot refuse that kind of deal for a single buyer. The identity, I cannot say. It is one of our policies in the agency that when a customer requested to keep their identity a secret, we shall respect their wishes. I do hope you understand the circumstances. Thank you and congratulations on your engagement." The message ended, leaving very shocked Celestial Spirit Mage.
"B-But…" She trailed off as tears started to fall from her eyes.
"It's alright. Come on, we still have to decide who to invite and the entourage thing." Despite the fact that wedding things isn't exactly included in Mr. Laxus Dreyar's specialties, seeing a crying Lucy was one thing he'd like to avoid. Men and tears don't actually mix well.
"O-Ok…"
"So, Lu-chan, who's gonna be the Maid of Honor?" 'Thank you, Levy!' Laxus thought when the bluenette appeared.
"I still have to decide on that. For now, let's first decide on who will be the bridesmaids then I'll pick one from them." Lucy cheered.
"Ladies, would you please excuse me." Laxus made a getaway before any of them could reply. Thank Mavis for an escape. 'Now, where's that beer?'
"Well, I'll have you, Erza, Mira-san, and Wendy as my bridesmaids." She smiled weakly.
"Really?!" Levy beamed.
"Wait, did I just hear that?" Suddenly, Mirajane was at their table together with Wendy.
"Yes!" Lucy smiled widely while the girls squealed.
"Uhm…where's Erza?"
"I haven't seen her since noon." Wendy answered politely.
"Oh…" Lucy trailed off. She knows why. Erza was definitely avoiding her.
"Oh, come on, she'll definitely be informed. In the meantime, let's talk about the wedding." Mirajane popped in.
"By the way, Lucy-san, who's going to design your gown?" Levy asked.
"Was it Heart Kreuz?" Mirajane suggested.
"Nope, I'll contact Arc Apollo. When Mama was still alive, she always said that he's the one who designed her wedding dress. " Lucy answered
"Oh, My God! I know that company. Wow! You sure are big time! Arc Apollo was the biggest competitor of Heart Kreuz in the fashion industry" Mira smiled widely as all of them giggled.
"Lucy-san, who're going to be the secondary sponsors?" Wendy managed.
"Oh, that! I almost forgot. For the candle, I'll have Natsu and Lisanna. The veil, Gray and Juvia and for the cord, probably Evergreen and Elfman."
"Thank you, Lucy." Mira was glad for her other siblings to be included in the entourage. People of Magnolia dubbed the pair to have the Wedding of the Century so it's quite an honor to be included in it.
"Wait, who're going to be the groomsmen." Levy asked, worriedly. She's more excited than Lucy. Maybe, she should get married first.
"I don't know about Laxus but I'm quite sure that he'll have either Freed or Bickslow as his best man. For the groomsmen, I'll have Gajeel, Loke and whoever loses to being the best man." The girls laughed.
"Okay, for the Coin and Ring Bearer, who's it gonna be?" Levy asked. Told you so, she was more excited in this wedding than the bride herself.
"Coin Bearer, probably Pantherlily and the Ring Bearer should be Happy"
"How about, Charle?" Weny whined.
"She's going to be one of the Flower Girls along with Asuka." Lucy chuckled.
"Wait, where's the wedding going to take place?" Mirajane asked, panicking a little bit.
"Laxus and I were planning to hold it at Kardia Cathedral and the reception will be at the Guild." Lucy answered ecstatically. All these preparations were making her giddy that she completely forgot about the mansion.
"Who'll be the guests?" Levy asked, still giddy and excited.
"We're thinking of inviting the all of the guilds that are participating in this year's Grand Magic Games, close relatives and my father's old staff." Lucy said with a proud face.
"Wow, that's quite many." Mira wondered.
"It's alright; I only get to marry once so why not give it a full blow."
"You're right." Wendy said. They all laughed. It was true. They all want a grandiose wedding. In fact, every woman wants a fairy tale-like marriage with their prince.
"Uhm…girls, excuse me for a while I have things to discuss with Gramps." That was what she decided to call Makarov since she's almost on her way to be the next Mrs. Dreyar. Lucy stood up from her chair and went towards the Master drinking alone in the bar.
"Gramps, I have to tell you something."
"What is it, Lucy?" Makarov asked, rather tipsy.
"Mnemosyne is back."
