After we went towards the city we surprisingly got inside the town without problems . Lucy looked at the palace scanning it. "So how are we passing the guards to get inside." She asked as we all looked at it from the main street. 

Erza stretched herself a little. "I don't know about you others but I think it should be best if we rent a hotel room to sleep there and observe the palace. We write down when they change guards and anything else that could help us to slip inside the place without getting seen." She exclaimed with a serious look.

Irene smiled. "That sounds perfect just how I would expect from my daughter." She exclaimed happily and hugged her. 

Gray nod as well. "Considering the guards I don't want to have the same thing happen as last time in Stella, so Natsu you should leave this to the others." He sneered at him.

"It wasn't my fault." He replied in offense.

"What about a distraction so that we can slip inside without the guards seeing us." I asked and crossed my arms.

Irene and Erza mused for a bit. "I believe that Heine and Juliet can do that." Irene replied and the girls nod. "You can count on us big sister." Juliet exclaimed.

"How will we be looking inside of the palace since we don't know where they keep it." Wendy asked in wonder.

Natsu looked at a poster and pointed to it. "There." He exclaimed and we all looked at it in surprise.

"Either they are overly confident about it not being stolen or plain stupid." Irene exclaimed with a deadpan look.

"Yes this might be easier then we thought." Erza chimed in "And here I thought we would have to fight against an entire army." She added and sighed in relieve.

I looked at her. "Still we should keep our guard up or else we could run into a trap." I exclaimed and everyone agreed.

 We rented a few rooms for the night and began preparing our brake in at midnight. "Erza, Irene. I want you to stay close to me so that I can protect you." I exclaimed to them.

Irene smiled. "Don't worry we can look for ourselves." She replied and kissed me.

We all headed for the palace and split up into several directions. "Irene can you cover our guild marks." Erza asked and Irene nod making them disappear. We ran into an alley and jumped up the roof running towards the palace we could see Heine and Juliet taking care of the guards like Irene asked them to and both made the guards follow them. Rose grabbed Erza on the back to fly with her to the tower while Irene and I flew to it lading without being seen. "So how will we be getting by this door." I asked and Irene smirked. She placed her hand next to it on a wall it began to crumble lightly. "I just enchanted the wall to become brittle." She curtly said and walked in, Erza and I followed looking everywhere. "There the staff." She said and walked to it with her hand raised to grab it.

Erza grabbed her hand and stopped her. "Wait it might have a trap on it so we should be careful." She exclaimed and Irene gave her a surprised look before taking her hand back.

We began to look around for any traps. "You two should get out and fly away I'll join you soon with the staff." I exclaimed and both nod walking out. I grabbed the staff quickly and flew out of the tower towards Irene and Erza that waited at a nearby alley. "So let's go to our meeting point the cliff outside the town. " I exclaimed to them.  We made our we to it and waited for Natsu to appear since everyone else was here already including Wendy. It didn't take long for it to happen and soon enough we took of with the carriage. "So Heine and Juliet how did you manage to distract the guards." Irene asked them with a curious look.

Heine giggled. "We wont say but the guards are alive at least." She exclaimed with a smile. 

After a few days of Travel we got back into Irene's kingdom Dragnof. "Y/n dear after we brought the staff back to it's place we should head to the hot springs near the mountains I promise it will be worth it for you." She said with a smile. 

I nod." Sure but what does the staff actually do since you said it can control people." I asked and looked at her.

She thought for a moment." The staff can control Dragons and Dragon slayers to do your orders without being able to resist." She replied and the staff quickly disappeared from my hand into Lucy's. "Let's see if it's true." She said and pointed it at Natsu that began moving without wanting to. We all laughed a little and were amazed. 

"It surely is quite an impressive staff."  Carla exclaimed.

We reached the palace at afternoon and Irene went to the royal bedroom stopping at a wall activating something. "Here is where the staff was hidden." She exclaimed and placed it into a mounting for it before closing the hidden door. "I wonder if the Horn still works." She exclaimed and smiled.

"Horn?" We all asked at the same time and she nod. "Yes the Horn to call the allied dragons to help." She exclaimed and I could feel Erza smile a little strange. "I'm the princess so I should be first to use it." She exclaimed and beat us all to it.

Irene smiled happily. "I would have tested it anyway we will use it tomorrow morning my dear Erza." She exclaimed and went towards the main room of the palace. "Bernard we brought the staff back." She exclaimed and he swiftly appeared. "I must say now that the magic activated intercom system works we don't have to run around the palace to tell what to do." He exclaimed and Irene sat down on the left side of the throne while she pointed at the middle for me and Erza at the right. "We will rest and soon start with the next part of our mission, is there anything that requires my imminent attention." Irene asked and Bernard nod. "Yes your majesty the town needs a ruler to help the economy we have the goods but no way of selling them." He exclaimed to her with worry. Irene mused for a moment as she knew a kingdom that isn't able to traid is a lost one. "I will have to talk to a few others for this maybe King Toma might be interested at some of the goods." She replied and laid her hand on the armrest.

"I'm sure Hisui would love that her father makes trade with other kingdoms." Lucy exclaimed happily. 

"We will see what can be done but first my kingdom has priority." She exclaimed. "What are your thoughts Erza?" She asked in wonder.

Erza smiled. "I'm just at the same as you but still need to learn what diplomacy is all about." She replied with a thoughtful look.

We stood up as the day began and Irene wanted to show the Horn to us, we made our way to the roof of the castle and  a huge horn was on it. Erza went to it and blew into the mouth piece. "Did it work." Lucy asked in wonder. 

Irene moved her hands away from the ears. "Why don't you ask the dragon slayers." She replied and pointed to Natsu, Wendy and me as we were on the ground holding our ears in pain.

"Why didn't you warn us Irene." I whined as I stood up. "I'm sorry I wasn't aware of how strong the horn is." She apologized with cheek kiss.

We soon saw four dragons appear and land next to us changing into their human form. "It's been a while since I was last here." Igneel exclaimed and smiled.

"True but I don't know if it's a good idea that we are here." Grandeeney exclaimed.

Alphas looked at me. "Why did you call us is something wrong." He asked with a bit of worry. Irene shock her head. "No we tried to se if the horn worked and it did." She exclaimed with a smile while Alphas just sighed.

The dragons looked at us with a deadpan look. "Since we are here why don't we go and eat something." Igneel proposed at his other dragon friends and all nod walking away.

We all made our way to the hot springs near the palace as it had it's own outdoor hotspring. "Oh wow the water still has the same high temperature like I remembered." Irene sighed happily as she sat down into the water. Her hair was untied and flowed freely showing her full volume of her scarlet waves. I sat right next to her as I leaned over to her, I laid my hands on her shoulders and began to massage them and she let out a breathy low moan in response. "Oh wow you know how to use your hands." She gasped pleased and smiled at me. 

I laughed lightly as I noticed Erza sit down next to me and look at me with a seductive smile. "Y/n can you do this to me as well." She asked and leaned on my shoulder with her chest pressing on it. I saw Irene had closed her eyes as I parted from hers and she sighed contently. "This felt amazing." She smiled and leaned on my shoulder and looked how I was massaging Erza as I felt her hands slowly inch up to my neck and do the same as I did. "Does this feel good Y/n." Irene asked with a smirk.

I peered over to Lucy, Natsu, Wendy and Gray as they all had swimwear on while Erza and Irene were bare. "Is there a reason to why you two are naked." I asked and looked at them as they both just smiled at me happily. Irene laid her finger on my lips. "For you and we don't mind you seeing us like this." Erza replied and looked up for a kiss.

I looked up to the bright night sky thinking about the mission we got the first part of the mission secured and now were resting a little to begin the next one tomorrow. But I wasn't sure if it was such a good idea to let Erza and Irene come with me in their state. They could hide the bumps but I knew that it still affected them. "Erza, Irene I want you two to stay at the kingdom from tomorrow on when we go against the dragons." I said and grabbed their hands. "I can't risk the two of you being hurt." I added looking at the two. They both gazed at me with the same look of sadness. "I want to go with you Y/n I can't let you go alone." Irene said and Erza nodded. "Yes I will go too." Erza said and I just looked at them with a defeated sigh.

I suddenly saw a bright flash of light and I grabbed both Erza and Irene before my vision went black.
