Chapter 21
Erza Pov
Y/n has been ignoring me for the entire week it's Friday now. He wasn't once at Gray's home. Why? I thought that we were finally friends again and he just ignores me. I looked at my phone as I texted with my friends.
"I'm so envious of you Erza" Lucy wrote.
"Yeah the only one except Erza would probably be Lucy to see this" Levy wrote.
"It's really nothing special guys" I wrote with a eyeroll emoji.
"Nothing special! You get to go to one of the most exclusive Banquets on earth!" Lucy wrote.
"Yeah the Vienna Banquet only those of royal blood or nobles are able to go" Levy wrote
"Yeah who would think Erza is a princess" Mira wrote with a smile emoji.
I rolled my eyes and sighed "I'd much rather be with you guys than at a banquet at oversea it's so boring probably" I wrote with sad emoji.
"You get to wear a princess dress I'm so envious of you" Lucy wrote.
"Yeah and her mother has the queens title" Levy wrote.
"The kingdom my family ruled doesn't exist anymore" I wrote.
"Yet your title is still valid, Princess Erza" Lucy wrote with a smile emoji.
I placed my phone away as our car reached the airport I saw the black and red private jet stand at the hangar.
"Erza I have a gift for you it's already stored in the plain" my mother said as we walked to the private jet that waited for us.
"What is it" I asked looking at her.
"It's a hand made ballgown for you" She said happily.
We stood in front of the jet now as the pilot greeted us.
"Queen Irene. Princes Erza it's a pleasure to see you" He said and bowed lightly.
I sat down on the big seat where a drink was placed for me I took a sip of it.
"Dom Perignon and a good year for it" My mother said as she drank it.
I leaned back and gazed out the window I saw another Private jet start right next to ours.
"Erza what is it you are so quiet today" mom asked as she placed a hand on my lower arm.
"Are you feeling sick" She said with worry and placed a hand on my forehead.
"No mom I'm not sick" I said and sighed as I looked out the window.
"Erza Belserion you tell me what it is right now" She said in a demanding tone and glared at me.
I didn't say anything she sat back and looked to her front. "It's Jellal am I right" She said with a warm smile.
"Yes it's him" I said not looking at her.
"Just give him time" She said and pressed my shoulder lightly.
I passed time by sleeping we arrived 5 hours later in Austria at the international airport of Vienna.
We sat in a car that was driven here for us from the five star hotel we stay in for the weekend.
"Erza get yourself ready in one hour we will go to the banquet. I asked the hotel if they could bring us someone to help you dress into it" She said and made herself ready by placing the luggage on the bed.
I grabbed mine and lifted it "It's heavy" I said under my breath. I opened it and there I saw the most beautiful handcrafted ballgown that I have seen. I stopped breathing for a moment as I looked at the details.
Erza's ballgown
"It's beautiful isn't it" mom said as she stood next to me.
"Yes it is" I said mesmerized.
"Queen Irene. Princes Erza. we have been asked to help you dress" two young girls said.
"There is no need to be so formal to us" mom said.
I stood there as the girl helped me into my dress she pulled on a string and I felt my chest get squeezed in I looked at the Mirror and my waist was at least one cm less while my breast seemed not affected. I let my hair flow freely as my absolute beauty only comes to shine when the hair flows around freely. I placed some lipgloss on my lips and looked one last time in the mirror.
"You are absolutely perfect Erza" mother said as she looked at me. I looked at her and she had one like mine just in red on.
"I'm ready we can go now" I said and walked to her side.
We sat in a carriage since that is the traditional way to arrive at this banquet. I looked outside and we stopped in front of the red carped. the door opened, my mother walked out first then I. I saw that left and right were guards with swords. This is an internationally broadcast my friends are probably looking at the TV right now trying to find me. A camera was looking at us I smiled and followed the rules my mother told me, every guest follows them here.
"Queen Irene Belseion and Princess Erza Belserion you are expected already. Congratulations on your marriage Princess Erza you have an extraordinary husband" The announcer said as he bowed. I looked at him in confusion.
"Queen Irene and Princess Erza have arrived" I heard a servant yell.
"Ah Queen Irene it's been a while since the last time I have seen you" A blonde tall man said my mother made a curtsy.
"Hello Emperror Franz Ferdinand". My mother said and she gave him her hand he kissed it out of respect.
"This is my daughter Princes Erza" She said and I made a curtsy.
"I'm Emperor Franz Ferdinand ruler of Austria" He said and eyed my mother.
"I heard that you Queen Irene are free for the taking" He said and looked at her hand.
"I'm not searching for a new husband Emperor" She said and respectfully turned it down.
"Of course not we all know how close you and Rung were". He said and walked with us.
"This young man is the prince of savoy" He presented us to a man that was a bit taller than me.
"Regina Irene, Principessa Erza e un piacere di conoscerla" The prince said. (Queen Irene, Princess Erza It's a pleasure to meet you)
I looked at the prince that talked to us and had to think for a moment at what he said. I realized that he doesn't speak our language.
"I'll piacere é tutto mio" mom said. (The pleasure is mine)
I presented my hand to the man and he kissed it.
We walked around and we met another one of the nobles.
"This young man is the prince of Bavaria with his father king Heinrich". The Emperor said
"Queen Irene It's an honor to see you again here" The king said.
"I had my reason for why I wasn't here last time" mom said and made a curtsy.
"You princess Erza are truly a beauty" The prince said eyeing me weirdly.
I took a light step back and shot him a glare. "You should keep your hands to you I'm married" I said in a harsh tone.
We went away from them and we met the last person the emperor wanted me to meet.
"This man here is non other than Prince Jellal" He said and pointed to a man that was just half a head taller than me.
I looked at his blue hair he had a rapier on his left hip, like every other male guest here. My eyes widened I began to think that Y/n stood here, but how?
The person turned around and my heart made one huge jump before it stopped. I gazed into ice blue eyes the most handsome eyes that I have seen that show passion and tenderness. "Y/n" I mumbled in shock. He gazed at me with a smirk.
"Princes Erza it's a pleasure to meet you" He said I moved my hand to him and he kissed it. The touch made my body get goose bumps my insides were burning and my face began to redden.
I made a curtsy "Prince Jellal it's an honor to meet you here" I said with a smile.
"I see that you two know each other" Emperor Franz said eyeing us and smiled lightly.
"You could say that Franz" He said with a smirk.
"Of all the people here you are the first to brake the rule to not address the emperor with his name without the title" The emperor said slightly shocked.
"Cut it Franz we know each other since forever and are good friends" He said and chuckled.
"That's true Jellal" He said and laughed.
"Why are you addressing him with Jellal Emperor Franz" I said in wonder.
"Because that's his first name" He said with a light smile.
"Do you have more than one name Y/n" I asked eyeing him sheepishly.
"Well my full name is Jellal Y/n Fernandes Fullbuster" He said and placed a hand behind his head scratching it lightly.
I looked at him and my mouth was open from the shock.
"Why do you have the same name as the other Jellal Fernandes" I said raising an eyebrow.
"Well about that, Jellal and I are related, you see his grand grand mother was married to my grand grand father" He said sighing.
And which one of your two names should I use since these are both your names" I said with a smile.
"Just call me how you want Scarlet" He said giving me a smirk.
"Then I'll call you... idiot" I said with a smirk.
"You look beautiful" He said gazing at me.
"Thank you" I said smiling.

I heard music start to play I looked around a bit and saw the male guests ask the girls for a dance I glanced at Y/n and he smiled softly at me.
"Princess Erza may I ask for this dance" Y/n said bowing lightly and presented me his hand to lay mine in it.
"That sounds delightful" I said placing my hand in his open palm and smiled lightly.
Y/n placed his right hand on my shoulder blade and I placed mine on his upper arm. His left hand was intertwined with my right. We began to dance in a counter clockwise rotation together with the other guests. I could see my mother dance with someone too. I got a look of Y/n's father as well that danced with his mother. Wendy wasn't dancing.
I gazed up into his eyes and he directly into mine. I smiled happily while I felt my heart drum. He had a handsome smile on him the entire time while he gazed at me. I began to feel heat creep up from the neck into my face the more I kept looking at him the more my body began to feel strange. The music was going to an end and we separated from each other.
Y/n took my hand and walked out to the garden of the palace with me. We sat down in front of a beautiful fountain this is called the Kiss Fountain because lots of couples have their love declaration and first kiss here. I thought for a moment, was he going to say he loves me and give me my first kiss here.
"Erza" Y/n said and I gazed at his ice blue eyes and he in mine.
"Yes Y/n" I began to blush.
"Did you notice what really happens here at this banquet". He said with a small smile.
I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "No this is just a normal banquet just with royals and nobles, or not" I said in wonder.
He laughed for a bit "This banquet is just one thing, a lot of the younger guests go up into the rooms of the palace doing some hanky panky". He said with a slight chuckle.
"What" I said in confusion and my face blushed.
"Right up there you can see it at an open window". He said pointing to it.
I slightly looked up and the shadow showed two people having intercourse. "Did you bring me out here just to show me that" I said irritated.
We stood up and walked a bit. "Of course not I just showed you what happens, where's Irene". He said in wonder looking around.
"Well she left me with Emperor Franz alone" I said musing a bit.
"Don't go further" I heard him silently say as I felt his hand on my chest.
I looked down and then to him my face was as red as my hair. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to grope you" He said and apologized.
"Why shouldn't we go further" I said and looked around the corner. My face flushed red when I saw what was going on there. I quickly went behind Y/n covering my blushing face.
"Now I know where Irene went off to" He said and sighed.
"Let's get back inside" He said and took my hand.
A bit of time passed Y/n presented me to another noble from Italy his name was Auditore, a strange person he said that he makes parkour over the buildings in the city's. Right now we are looking at the emperor everyone of the guests is here.
"You all know that this beautiful banquet isn't just everything that we do each year. Tomorrow everyone who wants can go hunting or stay at my castle that I usually use when hunting. Every animal is allowed to be shot but be aware I have got news that a rather big Deer was seen around and a Bear too ". He said and raised his glass.
I'm definitely going to hunt tomorrow "That Deer is mine" I thought and smiled.
The Banquet ended and I was back at my hotel room. I looked at something beautiful that Y/n gave me, a circlet with diamonds on it. He called it the "Heavens Wheel" I put it on and my mother eyed me with a smile.
"I didn't know that something was missing" mom said eyeing me happily.
I looked into the mirror and it was breathtaking the circled and the ballgown were perfect. I wiped a tear away.
"Erza you know I heard a lot of times that in the banquet the princess meets her prince and they both fall madly in love and kiss" mom said gazing at me.
"Mom I saw you kiss another man" I said eyeing her.
"I'm sorry but my body is longing for a mans tenderness" She said silently.
"No it's ok it's your decision" I said and sat down.
"Are you going to wear that circlet tomorrow". She said and eyed it.
"Maybe" I said with a happy smile. Jellal Y/n, You do love me, I know it or else you wouldn't go all this way to make a real circlet out of a fictional one and it fits perfect. I got out of my ballgown.
"Do you have a hunting outfit" Irene asked ad walked to me with a pink nightshirt.
"Yes I have one" I said and pointed to the luggage.
I got out of my ball gown and dressed into my nightshirt. I laid into my bed. I took my phone and looked at the messages.
"Erza you look absolutely breathtaking in that dress" Lucy wrote
"I saw that you found Y/n in the banquet" Mira wrote.
"Yes you two looked so sweet together" Juvia wrote with a smile emoji
"Y/n gave me a gift" I wrote and sendet the message with an image of the circlet
"OMG this looks so beautiful Erza!" Lucy wrote with three heart emoji's
"And Y/n gave you this? This means he cares about you and loves you Erza!!!" Mira wrote.
"I have to sleep guys it's late here it's 10 PM" I wrote and sighed
"Right the time is different oversea" Lucy wrote.
"Good night Erza" Mira wrote.
"Good night guys and tell Natsu to keep his hands of my cookies" I wrote with and angry emoji.
