OFF TO THE STORY! RATED T FOR VIOLENCE AND CURSING

Erza's POV

"My... mother?" I said, shocked. I can feel sweat falling down from my forehead to my chin, the woman in front of me was my long lost mother? My emotions were mixed right now, shocked, anger, frustration, and joy. The woman whose features are the same as mine except for the hair that was dead black. She looked like me except for the hair, maybe I inherited my hair colour from my father. A lot of questions were in my head and I had to know what happened and how I got to the Tower of Heaven.

"I am Ericka Verninome," My mother spoke once again. Tears still falling from her eyes. She hugged me tight. "Your mother"

"Mo...ther?" I said like a baby having her first words. "I... There are questions you need to answer"

"I will answer them all, Erza" She said, still hugging me. I hugged back, hesitantly.

General POV

Erza sat with her mother in front of her and Lucy beside her. Natsu was complaining about his seat being far away from his girlfriend but Erza just grab his head and slammed it in the table. Wendy and Lucy's sweat dropped, Charla just continued to stare at Ericka, Gray just pretended not to see what happened, Happy flew around Natsu helping him, and Ericka just smiled.

(N/A: This is the position

"Mother, where is my father?" Erza said, knowing that she have a father but she was wondering, is he still alive or is he dead? She wants to know who she really am before she became a slave in the Tower with Jellal.

"Your father," Ericka's eyes were covered by her bangs. Eyes filled with sadness, that's what Lucy and Erza could see. Lucy and Erza looked at each other. Lucy noticed something strange about Ericka's surname and Erza's "should be" surname but Erza insisted to use "Scarlet".

"Umm... I'm sorry to interrupt the conversation but, what is your surname again, ma'am?" Lucy said all at once, worried of what Erza's family background would be.

Ericka looked up at Lucy. "Verninome," Ericka said looking straight at Lucy's eyes. "Is there a problem with it?"

"Where do you live, Ma'am?" Lucy asked once again, looking back at Ericka's eyes.

"I live at the West Kingdom, far from here" Ericka said, looking worried. Ericka realized that she pushed the buttons for the truth to appear in front of her daughter's eyes. "Shit," She cursed under her breath. Its too late to take back her words. Lucy's eyes widen as the truth stroked her and Ericka just stared back at her hand.

"Lucy, what's wrong?" Erza asked Lucy and Lucy faced her with shocked expression.

"Erza, didn't you know the history of your surname, "Verninome"?' Lucy said as she held her best friend's hand dearly.

"No, what about it?"

" 'Verninome' is the surname of the long lost princess that disappeared years ago, leaving the kingdom of the West to fight against the East knowing that their princess had been kidnapped. But, the East told the truth. The princess were not there. King Heizo Verninome was found dead at his bed, blood was seen in his sheets yet, the people didn't know who did this to the King" Lucy squeezed Erza's hand and took a deep breath. "All those years, the princess can only be found in the Center kingdom and its you Erza"

Erza looked at her mother asking for the truth, her mother nodded. Gray and Natsu's jaw dropped. Ericka took something out from her pocket. It was pictures, she picked a picture and showed it to Erza. Erza looked at the picture, she could see a handsome guy with light red hair and crown placed on it, his eyes were colour violet, he have a slender body. He was a very handsome guy.

"He's your father, Erza" Ericka said looking at the picture. Sad smile formed her lips. Charla gasped as she saw the picture.

"Charla, is something wrong?" Wendy asked, worriedly. Charla nodded, she must have saw a vision of the past. She looked at Ericka sadly.

"His own brother killed him," Charla said sadly. Ericka nodded.

"He wanted the crown, he... he ordered Erza to be killed," Ericka's tears fell once again. "He is a wicked, selfish man"

A memory came to Erza. She froze as she remembered the memory, her first memory. Lucy called her name but there was no answer. Erza's eyebrows began to twitch in anger.

"How did I get to the Tower of Heaven?" Erza voice were hard as a rock.

"They managed to get you and put you to the Tower of Heaven. I cannot do something because they imprisoned me in the basement of the castle and treated as a dog," Ericka replied. She clench her fist and a vain popped out of her forehead. "When I heard you were already dead. My anger awakened my powers, I broke out the cell and travelled towards the Center Kingdom. It was a long way but, I knew you were alive"

"Where do I get my power? You know, the re quip?" Erza asked. "Did I inherited it from you?"

"No, no, no my dear" She smiled, remembering his husband. "Your father has that power. I am only a royal blacksmith. I always make his swords and make potions for him. I-"

"Wait, you can make potions?" Erza eyes lit up with hope.

"Yes, my dear. Is there something you might want me to make?"

"The Xilef Rive," She said all in one breath. She realized, she was hoping that Jellal will love her once again. Ericka smiled.

"Of course, my dear. I will make that for you, but for once only. I can't make potions that rare while I'm outside the West Kingdom" She said, smiling.

"Thank you, Thank you very much, Mother!" Erza said standing up, smiling. She looked at Gray and Natsu who were trembling already, her smile went to a frown. "What?"

"ALL HAIL TO ERZA-SAMA, THE PRINCESS OF THE WEST KINGDOM!," The two said as kneeled and stretched their arms. It was probably very loud because all the people in the guild froze from their tracks and looked at Erza. Lucy face palmed, Wendy sweat dropped, Ericka smiled nervously, and Erza cursed under her breath.

"Oh, crap" Erza rolled her eyes and face palmed. The people who heard came rushing towards them, almost making a stampede.

A lot of questions from the people who heard showered her, even Jellal was shocked. Erza managed to get out from the crowd as well as Lucy, Ericka, Wendy, Natsu, Gray, Charla and Happy. Master Makarov pulled them to his office.

"This needs explanation," Makarov sat in his chair.

"This is going to be a long day," Lucy muttered.
