Natsu's P.O.V

"Finally!" I said as I reached the servant quarters. I walked inside and was greeted by Lisanna.

"Hi Natsu!"

"Oh hey Lisanna." I turn away from her to walk to my room. I felt a tug on my scarf.

"What?" I said an annoyed tone.

"Natsu! You promise to take a walk with me around the park!"

"Lisanna not now. I'm tired and I have to wake up early tomorrow to go to the Celestial Kingdom."

"But-"

"Maybe later." I walked away and went towards my room. But I was stopped at the door by Gray.

"What do you need ice-prick?"

"That's not how you treat a lady Flame brain."

"And who are you to talk? You are always ignoring Juvia."

"That's different."

"Not really." I pushed pass him an flopped on my hard bed. I grunted. The Royals had nice soft warm beds. And here I was stuck with this piece of crap. Royals got whatever they wanted and they were snobs about it to. Prince Sting calls me 'Servant boy' instead of my actual name. And no one says anything because they are the ones in control. They have power. "I wish I was a royal." I say unconsciously.

"You can be." Gray said.

"What?"

"You can be a royal." I blinked.

"Did you just read my mind?"

"No hot head! You said it out loud!"

"I did?" Gray face palmed himself.

"Yes. You did."

"Oh... how can I get to be a royal?"

"Wow you really are an idiot."

"Want to say that again stripper?" Pointing to his clothes that were now on the ground.

"Crap!" He began to put his clothes back on.

"So what do I have to do to be a royal?"

"You marry a royal dumbass."

"Marry a princess?"

"Exactly."

"Idiot! How can I get a princess to marry me?"

"You make her fall in love with you."

"That sounds easy."

"It anything but Natsu."

"Whatever, I'm going to bed." Gray rolled his eyes then left my room. Make a princess fall in love with me huh? Piece. Of. Cake.

-X-

I woke up around 4 a.m. to prepare for the trip to the Celestial kingdom. Once everything was set and after I took my motion sickness pills, we headed off to the kingdom. What other princess are there? I kept thinking of which princess that were not married during the trip. We were at the Celestial Kingdom in no time.

"Come along servant boy." The asshole prince said. I said nothing, but in my mind I was cussing him out and beating him to a pulp. The Celestial castle was huge. I was glad that there was a escort with us. We finally entered the main hall. There was the king siting in his chair looking as serious as ever. Typical all mighty king. What a load of shit. My eyes lingered to the girl sitting besides him. She was a blonde with big beautiful brown eyes. I was guessing that she was the princess since she was wearing a big pink gown and had a tiara on her head. But she wasn't a normal royal. She didn't have that 'i'm better than you' aura. She felt different.

"Hello King Jude and Princess Lucy. I am Sting Prince of Sabertooth." Prince Jerk said

"Good day Sting." The King said."What brings you to the Celestial Kingdom?"

"Ah yes I would like to ask your daughter's hand in marriage."

"I'm sorry Sting but I don't-" The princess was saying.

"Of course she will marry you." The king cut her off.

"Father!" Her fake smile disappeared .

"Lucy you have turned down 16 Princes to marry! 16 Lucy!"

"And he is going to be number 17!"

"That's enough Lucy!"

"I want to fall in love not be in an arranged marriage!" Fall in love?

"It is not about love its about the economics!" The princess and king yelled at each other. I was a little shocked at their behavior, it's not really Royal like.

"King Jude if I may interupped, what if the princess comes with me to my castle and I will get her to fall in love with me?"

"That's an excelent idea!"

"What? No! That's not how love works!"

"Lucy get one of the servants to pack your things."

"You can't be serious!"

"Please King Jude allow my servant to assist your daughter. Servant boy!" I rolled my eyes.

"I'm right here sir." The princess said something I couldn't catch and ran off.

"I apologize for Lucy's behavior Sting." The king said.

"Oh don't worry. I know she will fall in love with me." 'Yeah right' I thought.

"Servant boy go help her with her things." Prince ass said. I nodded and when in the direction she went. I was walking around, looking at the painting on the wall. I had no idea where I was going but I will get there eventually. I was too busy looking around that I tripped on something. My face met with the marble floor. I got up, angry at whatever tripped me, only to see a shoe on the floor. I picked it up and inspected it. It was a light pink with red roses on it.

"Her room is the third door on the left." Someone said. I looked up and notice a guy with orange hair and glasses.

"What? "

"The princess's room. Third door on the left."

"Oh thanks." The guy nodded and then went down another hallway. So I walk to her room and knocked on the door.

I heard a soft, "...come in..." I stuck my head inside the door.

"Princess Lucy?"

"There is no need to be so formal." She said. She was wiping her face. Her eyes were red so she was probably crying but I said nothing of it.

"But your Highness you are the Princess of the Celestial Kingdom-" I began to say.

"It's just a title..." She said.

"But only friends or family of the royals can address the royal informally."

"So what is your name?" She said as she stuck out her hand. "My name is Lucy Heartfilia." I waited a second but then shook her hand

"Natsu, Natsu Dragneel."

"It's nice to meet you Natsu. Now we're friends so you can just call me Lucy." She smiled. A real smile. I chuckled, she was definitely different.

"So Lucy is this your shoe?" I asked as I pulled out the shoes I saw earlier.

"Oh... yeah..." Lucy said sheepishly. She was about to reach for it but I stopped her. I kneeled down and slipped the shoe on her foot. I looked up at her and saw her cheeks tinted pink.

"So what do you need help packing with?" I asked.

"You don't mind helping? "

"Not at all."

-X-

We finished packing all of her things and I walked her to the front of the castle where the carriage was parked. I gave her time to say her goodbyes. She hugged every single one of her servants.

"Goodbye everyone." She said. She climbed into the carriage. Before I could climb in after her I plopped 2 small white pills into my mouth like before. I felt a tapping on my shoulder. I turned around and saw the guy from the hall way, surrounded by the other servants.

"Take care of Lucy." He said. I was confused.

"You really care about her?" I already met Lucy, I get that she is different from other royals, I guess I kept expecting for her to be snobby or something.

"Lucy is our friend of course we care about her." 'Friend' I thought. I just nodded and waved goodbye. 'Friend? A royal can't be friends with a servant.'

"Sorry to make you wait I was talking to someone." I said once I was on the carriage. She didn't say a word. So now she was to good to talk to me. But then I understood why she didn't say anything. She looked like she was going to burst out crying. I immediately felt guilty for doubting her.

"Lucy?" I said "Don't be sad. Everybody at Sabertooth is really nice. Just don't look at it as leaving home, look at it as going on a new adventure." I gave her my signature grin. She cracked a small smile.

"Yeah, a new adventure awaits!"
