~Natsu's Pov~ 

I knew there was no chance I could force Lucy to eat. I needed to get her to stop blaming herself. The others were worried about her as much as I was. I placed her on a bench as I kept my face close to hers. "Lucy you wasn't to blame so please stop trying to hurt yourself" I whispered grabbing her hands as she was shocked by my words as she then smiled toward me. "When did you get mature?" she soon asked in a whispered our faces moving closer and closer toward each other. "When I grew the balls to tell you how I really feel" I answered about to press my lips onto hers until we heard laughter.

I got up and turned around fast to see what looks like some rich guys with big heavy dude around them smirking. "So that girl is the monster we all heard of huh?" one asked as my hands turned into fist as I growled. "Natsu don't" Lucy spoke standing up hugging me from behind. "What you boy her pet?" one of the rich guys asked getting the others to laugh as Lucy was hugging me tighter. She didn't want anyone else hurt. She was blaming herself even still. Soon Mira was walking over to the rich men smiling all innocent as always.

I felt myself go pale seeing her as the rich men all was checking her out. "I'm sorry but it seems you have upset my two good friends" Mira spoke opening her eyes for them to be glowing red as the men soon had fear ordering what looked to be their body guards to deal with Mira. "Idiots" I sighed as Mira was able to body slam the hired guards to the ground without breaking a sweat as the Prince from before was rushing over. "What is going on?" he asked harshly as Mira's eyes went normal blue colour.

"Your Nobels were picking a fight, did you not see Erza's fighting today no? She hears this I would be so scared that she would destroy this castle in one hit" Mira replied as the Prince went pale hearing her words as I turned my head to see Lucy's head in my back. "I'm calm" I whispered as she looked up at me freeing me to turn around hugging her. It did jump her at first but she soon hugged back. "Stop blaming yourself already, for my sake. I don't want to lose you Lucy" I whispered hugging her slightly tighter.

"KAWAII!" we heard Mira shout as I turned my head looking toward her annoyed. "You both are so cute together, I'm calling it NaLu!" she spoke as Lucy laughed slightly making me smile. Mira giggled walking over hugging us both. "Now come on food is ready, Princess Luna wants us to meet her father" Mira spoke as the Prince walked over his hand on his sword holder making me growl as Mira turned her head. "I am not letting that monster go near my father" he spoke as Mira sighed shaking her head.

"I was hoping not to start a small war" Mira spoke as guards were begging the Prince to stand down. None of them wanted to upset Erza. Wise choice. "What is happening out here?" the Princess spoke loudly. Luna huh? She didn't look like a Luna. "Sister you dare let our father go near this monster?" the Prince asked loudly as I growled even more loudly as Lucy was looking at the ground full of guilt. "You don't know the story buddy" I spoke harshly as Mira smirked. "I wouldn't upset a dragon Prince" Mira spoke confusing everyone.

"Natsu is the son of the Fire Dragon King Igneel" Mira spoke as everyone around looked toward me in pure fear. "Lucy here is his soul mate, calling her such names will get you killed, he would of killed you already if it wasn't for Lucy along with your Nobels" Mira soon informed them as the Prince's hand moved away from his sword as I ended up picking up Lucy again as she looked toward me. "More like I would of killed everyone here" I spoke walking ahead as Mira giggled following. 

"Natsu" Lucy whispered as I smiled toward her. "As long as you don't want anyone hurt I won't" I spoke as she smiled toward me. With that I knew this would make her feel she wasn't so much to blame. Mira helped out even more than she knew. "Erza made sure they got Strawberry cakes if we don't hurry Happy will eat all the food" Mira spoke rushing ahead as I took my time as Lucy looked tired more than anything. "After eating we can rest ok" I whispered kissing her forehead.

Lucy's cheek dusted pink as she smiled even more toward me. "Alright" she whispered as we got back to the dinning room as the others looked this way. "I have never seen Natsu so mature before, Lucy you really have changed him for the better" Levy spoke giggling as I looked toward her slightly annoyed. "Now, what was taking you both so long?" Erza asked in a serious voice as I turned my head to see this Princess Luna scared while her brother was pale. "Nothing Lucy was enjoying the garden" I answered moving my head to face forward. 

I heard both the Prince and Princess sigh in relief as I put Lucy on the chair she was in before as I sat down next to her. "King Arthur" we heard the Princess and Prince along with nights speak as a old man came in the room using a pure gold walking stick to help him balance. Erza took a sip of her drink as everything about her went into a serious tone. This wasn't going to be pretty.
