After eating and resting, the two bride-to-bes met up with the blonde again. This time the dresses were picked for them, they certainly noticed how much more revealing they are compared to dresses they arrived in. Erza was now in black low-cut dress and Juvia was in similar dress but in silver. Although, they can be considered modest compared to Lucy's red dress. It was skin tight and short, so short it barely covered her bottom. Her cleavage was out and her curves could not be ignored in that dress.

"Don't get used to the dresses. If you're chosen as the wives, your husbands will pick your dresses for the meeting room," Lucy informed them before starting to walk.

Juvia and Erza seemed to be believe in different things. While Juvia Lockser was the type to obey her orders without question, Erza Scarlet seemed to follow in what she believes. Juvia loved the rain while Erza preferred the sun. Juvia was sneaky and hid in the shadows when she's on a job, on the other hand Erza faced her enemies head on. Juvia and Erza had different views on things, but they seemed to agree on at least one thing. Why would a room where all women's rights disappear exist in mafia that believed strength is earned and proven, not assumed or inherited?

Both women hid their distress well as they followed the shorter blonde woman in front of them. Lucy Dragneel nee Heartfilia was woman who was feared by men and women for skills, how could she accept this in her own mafia where she will co-head with her husband one day?

Juvia and Erza were too lost in their thoughts to notice the sudden stop of the blonde woman. Lucy's chuckles got them out of their daze, "my, my I thought being in the mafia meant being aware of your surroundings." It was funny to say the two women were greatly embarrassed, not wanting them to feel even more discouraged Lucy went from amused to serious to prepare them to what they were about to face. "Listen, I know you have many questions about the room but for now trust me. If that's too hard, think of it as an order from your superior: Forget your rights in this room."

Before Juvia and Erza could even react to her words, Lucy open the door to a room that was dimly lit. The room seemed to have came from the 1800s where it was obvious who was in power. In the middle room was a red throne like chair that was higher than the rest. On both sides of the throne, were chairs that were on equal heights. To the sides of the room were long fancy sofas. There were two other doors, behind the sofas one on each side. For a room that seemed to have so much power it seemed pretty simple.

The sounds of the doors opening from two sides got the two women to freeze. Looking at Lucy for guidance, they were completely shocked to see an extremely powerful woman kneeled on the ground with her head bowed down. Sensing the seriousness of Lucy words hit them, Juvia and Erza immediately intimated the blonde. They couldn't see who entered but they heard people shuffling around getting seated.

"Lucy~ you may get up and introduce the girls," a strong voice commanded, he seemed to purr out the blonde's name.

"Yes, Natsu-sama."

Natsu? As in Natsu Dragneel, heir of the Fairy Tail mafia. Shit Lucy-sama was serious about this room. Erza thought to herself, as she fought to look at the feared man. She felt her fists tense, she was witnessing first hand how a powerful woman was being treated in this room.

"Mermaid Heel has offered the great Titania, Erza Scarlet. The Phantom Lord has offered the Undine, Juvia Lockser." Lucy emotionlessly introduced.

"Gi hi hi," one of the men on the sofas laughed, "Rain woman is here?"

Gajeel-kun? He's alive? Juvia must see this for herself. Juvia caught herself last moment, remembering the warning. Juvia can't even see if her mentor is alive. She thought bitterly.

"Lucy-chan~" a smooth voice called the blonde, the voice brought shivers down Erza's spine, "you're no fun~ warning the girls about the rules before we had the chance to have fun."

Lucy didn't reply, knowing the fact there was no permission to speak and the man was simply teasing to scare the bride-to- bes. It worked.

"Sheesh Jellal when you go into Siegrain mood, you give me a creeps," another voice piped in.

"Fullbuster's right Fernandes, you're creepy." Gajeel teased.

"Wow must be the end of time, Gajeel agreeing with Gray?" Jellal retorted.

Before any new man could speak, Natsu decided it was enough for silly talk. "Lucy~ come to your usual seat." For such a feared man, it was kind of shock to hear how much more interested he was with teasing his wife than taking care of business. Lucy quickly walked towards Natsu and sat on his lap.

The pink-haired man immediately wrapped his arms around the blonde, the moment she sat on his lap. He then turned to two kneeling ladies, he honestly could care less about marriages, frankly he only cared about his marriage. But, being the heir he had to arrange marriages to form alliances. This whole meeting was just formality, to get the heads of the divisions as witnesses to his agreement of the choices. Yeah, yeah he already agreed. Of course he did, his wife chose the women and he would never doubt her decisions. Honestly, she picked two strong women and that's all he cares about. Whether Jellal and Gray fall in love with them, he doesn't care. Like stated before, he could care less about marriages that weren't his. This was just nice opportunity to tease his wife. Like foreplay, he inwardly smirked at the thought.

"Ne Lucy~, do you think I should approve of the offers?" Natsu breathed into her ears as he slid his hands down her body. He smirked as he felt the blonde tense up, she knew what he was trying to do.

"Natsu-sama," Natsu smirk became wider when he heard the change of the pitch of her voice, "in my humble opinion they are the perfect candidates." Lucy unconsciously leaned into his touch as he continued to do as he pleased.

"Erza Scarlet, Juvia Lockser stand up." Natsu commanded, but he was obviously more interested in his wife's body.

The two women took the advantage to see who was in the room. On Juvia side, she saw her smirking mentor, he really is alive, an uninterested black haired man sitting next to him, from his appearance that must be Rouge Cheney of the Shadows, and white haired man who lustfully was looking at her, Lyon Vastia second command to Gray Fullbuster. Juvia looked in front of her and saw her supposedly future husband. His face was stoic but his appearance alone made Juvia feel something inside her.

On Erza's side, she saw a bored looking buff man who had a lightning shaped scar on his face, The temporary head of the mafia Laxus Dreyar. There was a younger blonde sitting next to him who looked impatient and wanted to leave, Sting Eucliffe part of the "unstable pair" with Rouge. Lastly she saw a ginger who looked like he was about to fall asleep, Wonder who that is? Erza heard the ginger whisper "they still need a lot of training." She looked to the front, sitting next to Natsu was none other than Jellal Fernandes. Erza felt a bunch of emotions seeing his amused face, but did not know how to react so instead she kept her face blank as she dealt with the emotions inside.

"Scarlet."

"Yes, Natsu-sama?"

"You are chosen for Jellal."

Erza was still in a whirlpool of emotions so she chose to ignore them for now, at least my family will be safe.

"Lockser you are chosen for Fullbuster." Juvia does not know how to feel about this.

"Now that's done, everyone is dismissed."

It was over, their families would be safe. Yet, somehow they couldn't shake off the bad feeling they were having.
