I should have said this earlier~ English is my 2nd language so pardon me for the mistakes~! ^_^v

Rated T for cursing and violence~

I don't own Fairy Tail and its characters, Mashima Hiro-sempai does~ ^_^v OFF TO THE STORY~!

Master Makarov tapped his fingers in his desk several times as the people in front of him stood in complete silence. Lucy, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, as well as Erza are avoiding Master Makarov's glare while Ericka just smiled nervously. Charla and Happy sat in a corner where they cannot be seen by Master Makarov but Makarov has sharp eyes. Several tapping of fingers and Master Makarov sighed. He approached Erza. He stopped in front of her with serious face. Moments passed.

"Princess Erza! Do you want to be promoted as a SS class mage? Do you want to be Master?..." He said all of sudden, asking Erza if she wanted something with the guild. A vain popped out of Erza's head, she clench her fist while her friends went jaw drop as well as the cats. Ericka continued with her smile.

"Stop this CRAZINESS!" Erza punched Master Makarov in the head. Master Makarov just went chibi with bump in his forehead. She sighed and apologized. "I'm sorry, I never wanted anything. Me being a princess doesn't mean that you guys should treat me as one because I never ever dreamed to be a princess. I am contented being a knight of justice, okay? So, no changes will occur understand?"

"Aye!" Master Makarov replied with tiny voice. Erza went to her friends and one by one closed their mouths which were previously made a mega-jaw dropped. The door began pounding with thousands of mages wanting to know the truth. Erza's aura began to be scary.

"EEEEEKKKK! E-E-E-Erza's scary side a-a-a-ac-ac-act-activated," Gray said, barely saying each word. They were trembling in fear even Master Makarov but Ericka didn't notice it and continued smiling. Erza made her way to the door stomping. She opened the door with unbelievable strength that it slammed at the wall and fell to the floor. The people outside the door froze as they see the scary side of "Erza-sama".

"S-S-S-S-S-S-SORRY! WRONG ROOM!" They said in unison and ran downstairs. Erza calmed down and sighed. She looked at her friends just to find that Natsu and Gray already fainted. Lucy and Wendy were panicking. Erza approached them. Happy and Charla were flying at the top of their respective owner. Master Makarov was frozen and still at the same place were Erza left him.

"Let me take care of this," She said, preparing to punch the two. Gray and Natsu took a peek and saw what Erza will do. They sat up immediately. Lucy and Wendy looked at each other.

"I'M ALIVE!" The two said, pretending that they fainted. "I'M OKAY!"

"The two of you," Erza muttered, clenching her fist. "THIS IS FOR SPILLING THE INFORMATION I SHOULD HAVE KEPT FROM THE TWO OF YOU!"

Smack!

Minerva's POV

Erza is a princess? A-Am I dreaming? This cannot be happening! Her rival was a princess? She was just a commoner! Wait, the current King of the West wanted Erza dead? I thought and thought and thought. That's it! I will inform the King that Erza, the long lost princess can be found in the Center Kingdom and I'm sure, he will dispose Erza. I chuckled evily as the thought came to me. I could see Jellal's eyebrow arched.

"Is there something wrong?" Jellal said with his eyebrows still arched. "Is my face funny?"

"No," I chuckled again. "That's not it"

"Then what is it?"

"I just remembered something funny," I lied. I glanced at my watch, oh God its already evening. I stood up and took my bag. "Jellal, I gotta go"

"Let me take you home," Jellal stood up. I shook my head.

"No need to"

"But-"

"Jellal," I said and smiled at him. I was going to kiss him, our lips really close... when all of a sudden someone yelled so loudly. I decided not to and walked out of the door, pissed off.

General POV(Erza's POV)

THE NEXT DAY~

"I want you to meet the one that I'm with while I'm travelling," Mother said as she walked at the streets of Fiore. I nodded and walked beside her. After several shops passing by and greetings from people we arrived at a new store that was opened last week. I saw a man with tanned skin, slender body, handsome features, wearing jeans and black sleeveless shirt revealing his biceps that has muscles. His hair was dark black which were shoved to the left, his eyes were mixed yellow and orange almost like a cat eye, he had a long braided hair at his left, and most of all he had a scar in his left topmost forehead. He was busy pounding a metal which later on turned into a sword with black metal and red handle with sapphire diamonds on it.

He finally noticed us in front of him or maybe he only noticed mother.

"Sorry, I was busy. Ericka-san," He said wiping his face that was full of sweat using the towel nearby, yes he didn't noticed me. I blew a strand of scarlet hair that was covering my eye. He finally noticed me and raised his eyebrow. "Who is she, Ericka-san?"

"She's Erza, my daughter" Mother said, introducing me to the stranger. "Erza, he is Ryuu, the one I told you that I'm with"

"Pleasure to meet you, Erza-chan" He extended his arm, inviting me for a handshake. I just stared at it as moments passed. I wasn't used being called "chan" because others call me as plain "Erza" but it was not the first time I was called "chan". Master Bob from Blue Pegasus usually calls me "Erza-chan".

"Is there something wrong?" He said. "Oh, is it because its dirty? Sorry about that" He wiped his hand at the towel, making sure it was clean before stretching his arm again. He stretched his hand once more and smiled at me. I guess, this guy was a happy, joyful person because he loves to smile.

"I am Ryuu Hernandez, pleasure to meet you Erza-chan," He said, smiling. I returned back the handshake and smiled back at him.

"I am Erza Scarlet, pleasure to meet you Ryuu" I said, smiling. Mother smiled at them. I looked back at the sword, it was beautiful.

"This sword is beautiful," I said as I started examining the sword. "Did somebody ordered it?"

"Nobody did. I was thinking that I would give it to Ericka-san's daughter, to the princess but I thought that maybe girls didn't like swords," He looked at me and I looked back. "Do you like swords, Erza-san?"

"Yes, I do" I picked up the sword and start twirling it to the side. "I'm a re-quip mage, my magic consist of swords and armors"

"If you want it, you can have it. I was planning to give it to you at the first place," Ryuu said, leaning at the wall while watching me using the sword.

"I'll take it," I said while sheathing the sword to my side.

"That is worth hundred jewels," Ryuu said, jokingly. I gave him a glare causing him to apologize. Mother smiled and asked me to go inside their apartment.

Mother was making the potion while I was having a conversation with Ryuu. He was a funny, kind-hearted man. He was a gentleman, apologizing each time I glared at him. He said that once he lived in the North before he decided to find someone here in the Center Kingdom. We talked about our lives and when it came to the person we like, Ryuu stopped for a moment, sad smile on his face. I guess, it was hard for him to tell me his love life. So, I told him about mine first. When I ended his sad smile came again.

"Before, while I was living at the North. I was with this girl, she was kind, beautiful, and sweet. She and I became friends while I was 14 and she was 13, I'm a year older than her. And when we were already 15, we started dating but it was for a short time," Ryuu said, looking at me in the eyes like he could see through me.

"I'm listening," I said wanting to know more. Ryuu took a deep breath and continued.

"It was October when his father came to get her but she insisted not to go with him. She wanted me to be with her, run away with her. So, I did because I love her. When we came to the bridge that were connecting to cliffs, below were the river, I realized it wasn't stable. It was too late when I found out that it cannot hold the both of us. She was holding tight at the rope of the Rune Knights, but I knew she would fall if I hold on longer. So, I told her I love her one more time and dropped myself off the river," He said finishing his story. "I still love her until now"

"If you don't mind, Ryuu" I said, earning a raise of an eyebrow from him. "Who is this girl you're talking about?"

"Her name is Minerva," He said while searching a picture in his pocket. He showed me the picture of a girl with Eastern look, long glossy purple hair with bun-shaped loops. This girl is Minerva! I was shocked. He asked if there was a problem with it.

"S-She made my fiancée love her with the potion of Felix Evir!," I said. Ryuu was going to speak when Mother announced that the potion was done. She handed it to me and warned me to use single drop each time I use it because if I used them all, she cannot make another.

"I understand, Mother" I said, standing up from my seat. Avoiding about the recent topic(Minerva) we discussed. "I'm going home now, its already late"

"Ryuu, can you escort her to her apartment?" Mother asked Ryuu, I shook my head.

"No need mother , your daughter is strong enough to handle enemies with just a finger," I said, reassuring mother that I'll be fine. She smiled.

"You are like your father," She said and kissed my forehead. I bid them goodbye before going to the newly constructed Fairy Hills. I took one last glance and caught his eyes. A sad smile formed my lips. I made a look that says "We will meet again". He nodded and I left and went my way towards Fairy Hills.

"Jellal, you will be mine once again" I thought as I entered my room just to find out that my team was arguing about something. They froze as they saw me entering my room. Lucy looked at me asking for the potion. I raise the potion up for her to see.

"I got it," I said, grinning at her. Lucy clasped her hand and approached me along with my friends. Finally, I can bring Jellal back to my arms.

Minerva's POV

"Hello, can I speak to the King of the West Kingdom?," I said in the phone.

"What is it that you want?" A voice of a girl answered, it must be the maid. I smirked and paused for a while.

"I found the long lost princess of the West Kingdom," I said and I heard the maid passed the information to the King. The King ordered his maid to give the phone to him.

"Who are you and why do you know about it?" The king answered in a deep tone.

"Let's just think that I am your friend and I want to dispose that girl. You can find her in the Center Kingdom, her name is the Titania of Fairy Tail, Erza Scarlet" I smirked as I said each word clearly for him to hear. I could hear him do the "evil laugh".

"Very well, my friend. Thank you for the information and you can trust me, I will dispose her" The King said and ended the call. I smirked as I heard the "dispose". I laughed evily and that is when the memory came again to me. I remembered how he called my name so dearly and sweetly.

"Ryuu, why are you doing this to me?" I asked looking up to the moon.

Jellal's POV

I spin and spin and spin with joy. That sweet memory that Minerva became my girl was unforgettable. The time when we almost kissed, oh! I wished we had kissed. I lay down in my bed and checked my phone. The background was Minerva, I kissed the picture and hugged it tight. I travelled through the pictures of my phone. When I saw Erza's picture, the princess of the West Kingdom who was my close friend, a warm familiar feeling came to me like I had love her before. I stared at the picture once again, that familiar feeling began to grow even more. I wonder what it is. I closed my eyes and Erza's face was what I saw. Why is this? Later on, I fell asleep.

Ryuu's POV

As soon as Erza-chan left, Ericka-san joked.

"Did you two develop? Have taken a liking on her?" Ericka-san said, jokingly.

"Ericka-san!" I cried. She apologized and went pounding a metal. I sat in the sofa near the fire place.

I remembered Minerva and those times that we spared as I looked at her picture. She was the one who took Erza's love away from her? That could not be true! She was kind, beautiful, and sweet yet, why would she do that? She wouldn't do something like that! I shook my head and began thinking how to help the Princess about her task bringing back her love.

"Ericka-san," I called out and received an "hmm?" answer from her. "Do you think Erza will get back her love?"

"If her feelings are as the strong as the other," She said while pounding the metal. I didn't understand what that meant and decided to ask her for more.

"What do you mean, Ericka-san?" I asked. She pounded the metal before answering.

"What I meant is that, if she loves him that strong and he loves her that strong, they can surpass any potion," She said while pounding the metal that later on became a silver sword with golden handle and orange laces. She put the metal on the display set and came to me. She sat beside me and looked at me in the eye. I remained silent. "Sometimes, its not the magic what makes you strong"

"Its the heart of a person," She landed her index finger in my chest, indicating my heart. "Sometimes feelings are stronger than any kind of magic, Light or Dark, it can surpass anything as long as your feelings are strong and cannot break down so easily."

"I understand now," I spoke and looked at the starry sky.

"Minerva, can you still remember me?" I thought
