Chapter 236: A Startling Discovery
"I'm sorry you want to run that by me again?! I must have heard you wrong" asked Dante in an angry tone as he stood up from his seat at the Magic Council meeting. Juvia also had a look of anger on her face, unable to contain herself with what she had just heard. Giving Dante a sympathetic look, Jura started to speak.
"Dante calm down and we can talk about" Jura started to say before Dante shouted over him.
"You want me to calm down?! How in the hell can I be calm after what you just told me" asked Dante in an angry tone, seething with rage.
The meeting that Dante was in had been discussing the problem with the Alvarez Empire and possible solutions. During this meeting it seemed that a council member let a great secret slip with how he instantly regretted what he said. From a quick look around the table, it was clear to Dante that he was the only Magic Council member in the dark about this issue. Unbeknownst to Dante, apparently Markov had gone to the Alvarez Empire as an emissary in order to stall for time while the kingdom worked on its defenses.
"You're telling me that you all knew what Master Markov was doing and just let him take that sort of risk?! You didn't think to tell me about this" asked Dante, his voice dripping with rage. Taking a step forward, Juvia started to speak.
"How could you all let something like this happen" asked Juvia, her voice also filled with anger.
"Miss Lockser control yourself. You are merely an assistant, not a council member. It is not your place to" Draculos started to say before Dante cut him off.
"Don't talk to her like that! Juvia has a right to know what in the hell were you all thinking letting Master Markov go to the Alvarez Empire alone" yelled Dante, barely controlling himself.
"Dante please let us explain" stated Jura. Turning his attention towards Jura, Dante started to speak.
"Explain what?! How you let Master Markov go alone to the Alvarez Empire alone or how you all decided to not tell me about this" asked Dante in an angry tone.
"You weren't told because we all knew this is how you would react. You would have never allowed this" responded a magic council member.
"Damn right I wouldn't allow it! This plan to stall for time is suicide" yelled Dante, angry that he was kept in the dark and even angrier that Markov would do such a thing in the first place. As Dante thought about this, this must be part of the reason why Markov disbanded the Fairy Tail guild.
"Dante this was necessary for the safety of the entire kingdom. It's thanks to Markov that we have time to prepare ourselves for a potential war" explained Draculos. Turning his attention towards the chairman of the magic council, Dante started to speak.
"And at what cost?! You all would just allow Markov to march to his death like this" shouted Dante. After a moment of silence, Draculos started to speak.
"It was deemed a necessary sacrifice" responded Draculos.
"Who the hell gave you the authority to decide something like that" asked Dante, barely resisting the temptation to punch the chairman for what he just said.
"Dante, this was originally Markov's idea. No one here forced him to do this" responded Jura hoping to make Dante calm down. Dante felt even more anger swell up within him at these words. Of course, this was Markov's idea Dante thought. Markov always put the lives of his children over his own, and it pissed Dante off. Didn't Markov consider how this would affect everyone in the guild? How would it hurt everyone if he died for all of them?
"How long has Master Markov been gone" asked Dante in an ice cold tone.
"Markov left the kingdom the same day the Fairy Tail guild was disbanded" responded Jura hoping that Dante would calm down. Considering Jura's response, Dante knew that this meant Markov had left a little over three weeks ago.
"To hell with this council" responded Dante as he turned around and started to walk out of the meeting room. Before Dante took more than a couple of steps, he felt his body freeze as Draculos started to speak.
"And just where to you think you are going" asked Draculos in a serious tone as he continued to freeze Dante with his vampire magic. Despite being bound by one of the Champions of Ishgar the rage inside Dante gave him enough strength to clench his fist in anger as he started to speak.
"Where do you think I am going?! I'm going to the Alvarez Empire to save Master Markov" responded Dante as he pushed against the magic that was binding him in place. After a short moment, Dante in his rage fueled state pushed past the magical bindings and continued to walk forward. Draculos had a look of shock on his face that Dante was able to break out of his magic.
"You coming Juvia" asked Dante as he continued to walk out of the meeting room. With a look of determination on her face, Juvia nodded her head and followed Dante. Throwing open the closed doors, Dante and Juvia stormed out of the meeting room. Walking down the silent hallway, Dante turned to Juvia and started to speak.
"We'll stop by home first; the others will want to come along, and they have a right to help. Then I'll send out word to everyone else, I've been keeping track of where everyone else drifted off to. We are going to have the entire guild going after Master Markov to save him" stated Dante in a determined tone. Juvia nodded her head in understanding, she was just as determined to save Markov. As Dante and Juvia walked down the long hallway, a familiar voice called out to them.
"Hold on a minute, at least let me speak with you before you kids do something rash" stated Warrod in a serious tone. Turning around Dante looked at the magic council member who he was most angry with. Waiting for Warrod to walk up to them, Dante then started to speak.
"Now you want to speak with me? Warrod you're the one I'm the angriest with. The others I might understand where they were coming from but you? You are a former member of Fairy Tail. I know the guild was the same back then as it is now, so how in the hell could you stand by and let something like this happen" asked Dante in an angry tone. Seeing that Warrod was silent, Dante continued to speak.
"You know that in Fairy Tail we never leave anyone behind, that we are all family. How could you be okay with something like this" asked Dante. After another moment of silence, Warrod started to speak.
"Believe me this wasn't an easy decision for me to make and understand I wanted to tell you but was outvoted" Warrod started to say. Seeing the anger in Dante's eyes, Warrod hoped he could get through to him as he continued to speak.
"If Markov wasn't adamant about this plan of his, I would have never agreed" stated Warrod.
"Why would you agree to this plan?! You just let him walk towards his death" asked Dante, shouting at Warrod.
"I agreed because it was the will of the guild master of Fairy Tail" responded Warrod in a serious tone. Seeing that his response made Dante halt for a moment, Warrod continued to speak.
"As the guild master, Markov has inherited the will and dream of Marvis. Marvis was always concerned about the well being of the guild and everyone in it, the same that Markov is. It is the duty of the guild master to keep everyone safe, no matter the cost to themselves. I trust Markov just like I trusted my dear friend Marvis" stated Warrod. Clenching his fist in anger, Dante started to speak.
"I know all of that but still, there must have been a better way" responded Dante, some of the anger gone from his voice.
"If there was another way Markov would have thought of it" responded Warrod as he took a step forward and placed a comforting hand on Dante's shoulder while he continued to speak.
"Believe me I know how tough this is, I want nothing more than to ensure Markov's safety as well, but we have to trust in him. Markov wouldn't want you or anyone else to endanger themselves to save him" stated Warrod in a comforting tone. Taking a moment, Dante felt more of his anger leave him before he finally responded.
"If Markov dies, I will never forgive you Warrod" responded Dante with a sigh, accepting that he could do nothing to change the situation.
"I would never forgive myself either" responded Warrod in a serious tone as he stepped back from Dante. Seeing that Dante was mostly calmed down, Warrod continued to speak.
"We should get back to the meeting so the magic council can rest easy that you are not quitting" stated Warrod. Nodding his head, Dante accepted that fact he would have to bear being a council member for a while longer. Soon Dante and Warrod walked back into the meeting room along with Juvia. As he took his seat, Dante saw that all eyes were on him, and he started to speak.
"I'll stay for now but just so we are clear. No more kept secrets from me. I am a member of this council and have a right to know these sort of things" stated Dante in a serious tone. Nodding his head, Draculos started to speak.
"Yes, we can see now that not telling you about Markov was an error in judgment, it will not happen again" responded Draculos. After Draculos said these words the council moved on to the rest of the meeting. Soon Dante sighed with exhaustion as he was sitting in his office.
"Let's get finished with these notes Juvia and go home. Today was a lot" responded Dante in a tired tone. Nodding her head, Juvia started to speak.
"Yes, today was a lot to take in" responded Juvia as she filed away the notes about today's meetings. Seeing the worried look on Juvia's face, Dante felt guilty. Standing up Dante walked over to Juvia and placed his hands on her shoulders. While Dante looked Juvia in the eyes he started to speak.
"I'm sorry that you have to keep this secret Juvia. I know it's tough, I want to tell Mira and the others as well. They all have a right to know but we can't say anything that goes on in the council meetings" stated Dante. Smiling back at her beloved, Juvia placed a hand on Dante's cheek as she started to speak.
"Juvia doesn't mind love. Juvia is glad to be here to help you, you shouldn't have to bear this burden alone" responded Juvia in a loving tone. Overcome with Juvia's dedication and affection for him, Dante leaned forward and placed a loving kiss on Juvia's lips. Juvia moaned into her master's mouth, wrapping her arms around Dante's neck as she melted into the heated kiss. After a short while Dante leaned back from Juvia and leaned his forehead against hers as he started to speak.
"Thank you Juvia, for everything. You say I'm your sun but you make my life so much brighter being in it" responded Dante in a loving tone. This time it was Juvia's turn to be overcome with emotions at Dante's words. Juvia crashed her lips onto Dante's with such force that Dante stumbled backwards onto his desk. Smiling into Juvia's mouth, Dante wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her closer against himself. After a short while Juvia leaned back from Dante's lips, looking down at him she started to speak.
"Juvia loves you so much Dante" responded Juvia in a loving tone. Reaching up, Dante brushed a strand of Juvia's hair out of her eyes as he started to speak.
"I love you too Juvia" responded Dante in a loving tone before he pulled her in for another heated kiss. The two of them made out for a short time before Dante flipped them over so Juvia was pinned beneath him on his desk. Leaning back from Juvia's sweet lips, Dante started to speak.
"You are so amazing Juvia" stated Dante in a flirty tone as he looked down at Juvia, she was flushed with desire as she stared up at him. Giving Dante a flirty smile, Juvia started to speak.
"Juvia can feel how turned on you are master" responded Juvia in a flirty tone as she started to rub Dante's tenting erection. Dante moaned with pleasure as Juvia continued to rub his tenting erection. Seeing Dante's pleased expression, Juvia flipped them over and quickly freed Dante's erect cock. Standing in front of Dante, Juvia quickly stripped naked and then straddled Dante's lap. Wrapping her hand around Dante's erect cock, Juvia aimed it towards her soaking wet pussy and continued to speak.
"Juvia will take care of you master" stated Juvia in a flirty tone as she then lowered herself onto Dante's towering cock. Juvia was slowly lowering herself onto Dante's erect cock, too slow for Dante's liking. Holding onto Juvia's hips, Dante forced Juvia to take his entire length. As Juvia screamed out in pleasure at the sudden and rough penetration, Dante started to speak.
"You take me so well Juvia" stated Dante as he enjoyed the feeling of Juvia's tight pussy wrapped around his cock. Juvia was shaking with pleasure, loving how complete she felt with her beloved's cock deep inside her tight pussy as she started to speak.
"Ahh it's because it's you love. Juvia was made for you" responded Juvia in a loving tone as she started to move her hips. Moving up and down onto Dante's massive ten-inch cock, Juvia soon adopted a fast and hard pace. Moaning with pleasure, Juvia felt one orgasm after another tear through her body.
"AHH fuck Juvia" stated Dante as he enjoyed the sight of Juvia's riding his cock while her tight pussy drove him wild with pleasure. Juvia's naked body looked amazing to Dante as she rode his cock, her naked breasts bouncing wildly as her face was contorted with ecstasy.
"AGHHH you AHHH feel so good love" moaned Juvia in a breathless tone as another powerful orgasm tore through her body. Dante grunted with pleasure as he felt Juvia's tight and unbelievably wet pussy squeeze down hard around his cock. For serval minutes Juvia continued to ride Dante's cock as she screamed out in orgasm. Seeing Juvia desperately ride his cock while she shook from the force of her orgasm, Dante felt his limit quickly approaching. Holding onto Juvia's hips in a death grip, Dante thrusted upwards into Juvia's tight pussy as he held her in place.
"FUCK JUVIA" yelled Dante as he started to cum deep inside Juvia's tight pussy. Juvia had hearts in her eyes as she felt her beloved's boiling hot cum pour deep inside her.
"AGHHHH YESSSS! GIVE AGHHH JUVIA ALL YOUR CUM" yelled Juvia in a depraved tone as she shook from the force of an intense orgasm as her master filled her to the brim with his hot and thick cum. Dante grunted with pleasure as he shot rope after rope of his cum deep inside Juvia's tight and spasming pussy. After serval moments Dante was finished cumming and Juvia collapsed onto his chest while she caught her breath. A moment of silence followed before Dante started to speak.
"Come on Juvia, let's go home" stated Dante before he kissed Juvia's neck as a show of affection. Juvia moaned at the feeling of her master lovingly kissing her neck while they were still connected. Smiling lovingly at her master, Juvia nodded her head and soon the two of them were walking through the crowded streets while holding hands. Turning his attention towards Juvia, Dante started to speak.
"Thanks again Juvia. I don't like being a member of the magic council and having to keep all of these secrets, so it means a lot that you are there with me" stated Dante with a kind smile. Juvia felt her heart swell with happiness at these words.
"Juvia is happy she can bear your burden with you love" responded Juvia in a loving tone. Smiling back at Juvia, Dante found himself happy despite the worry at the back of his mind about Markov. Dante hoped that Markov would be okay, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if he died while Dante couldn't do anything to save him.
