Chapter 1.
Warrior Princess meets the Dragon
In the Kingdom of Fiore, there are many kingdoms, all of which are ruled by different kings. But there is one kingdom that is ruled by a woman, only one. Kingdom of Alvarez, which is ruled by Irene Beleserion. She is the first-ever queen of her kingdom and first every woman who rules in the kingdom of Fiore. She took the throne from her husband who died in the war against the opposite country. Tho many counselors and nobles tried to stop her, but she was so high in both the noble and royalty status, that no one could do anything to prevent her from becoming a queen.
She took it upon herself to turn her kingdom into a world first, female`s rule over man. She made sure that man understands, that they had no choice, right or voice. They eighter bowed down and submit to the woman/wife and let her be the one in charge of the house, or they could face the wrath of the queen and be thrown to the dungeon or have their head chopped off by a guillotine.
(I know it's still 2019 and ppl are still sensitive over the stuff like this... But please don`t take this for real, it's only the fanfiction for you to read. So no offense, please. Thank you.)
This lead to a huge conflict between man and woman, however, it was quickly solved by Irene who made sure. Man won`t get any funny ideas, nor will they try anything in the near future. Irene turned once a proud kingdom of Alvarez into an amazonian warriors stronghold. She used her political power to make sure, everything went her way and no one could tell her not to.
3 months after she becomes a queen. She gave birth to a little baby girl with scarlet hair like hers only more lighter and same brown eyes. Irene for the first time since she got married felt happy and when she holds her in her arms and looked into those chocolate brown eyes, she knew what name this child will bear.
"Erza..." she said smile spreading onto her young face
In time she spent all the time she could with her daughter, but duo to her being a queen. She was usually busy and did not have time to really spend with her daughter. So Erza grew up partly without a mother and entierly without a father. She was taught how to read and write by a castle librarian named Sol. She was thought how to act around nobles, how to eat properly and table manners from maids. And she was taught how to fight with a sword. In just 14 years of age, she won multiple tournaments and beat the strongest swordswoman in their kingdom.
Earning her that title. Now she is 17 years old and is looking to raise her image and fame even further with her skills. For the entire world will know who the warrior princess of Alvarez is.
Or so she taught before she met him...
Erza`s chambers:
The rays of light coming through the big windows on the left side of the room woke Erza from her slumber. She let out a yawn and stretched a little bit before getting down on her hands and start to do push-ups. It was a usual morning routine for her to start the day with 60 push-ups, 60 sit up and 60 squats, so her body could wake up fully.
When she was done, she heard a knocking coming from her door before "may I come in" was heard on the other side of it.
"You may," Erza said as she put a robe around herself.
Nobody knew but she sleeps in her black bra and matching underwear, something so un princess-like. She started doing that at the age of 16 and just stuck with it. It felt more comfortable sleeping in them.
The door opened up revealing a girl in a black and white maid`s outfit with red shoes. The girl's golden locks went down to her lower back as she looked to be shaking in fear and nervousness, a towel presented with both hands in front of her.
This was Lucy Heartfillia, she came to Alvarez 2 years ago and was getting robbed by bandits on the road. Erza saved her from them while she was on the way back home. She asked Lucy a bunch of questions and told her to get in. When Lucy heard she was the legendary warrior princess Erza Beleserion, she immediately apologized for showing her how weak she is. Erza told her its okay, she does not look like a fighter anyway, ho she did not expect to be offered a job as a maid and be given a room in the castle. Lucy accepted in an instant.
However, things were rough for Lucy ever since then. She would be ordered around by Erza, yelled at by older maids who were here long before her, not to mention she was constantly moving up and down the castle just to clean up all the rooms and halls that were there. It did not help her when Erza would call for her in the middle of her cleaning, for Erza`s room was on the third floor of the castle, so Lucy had to sometimes go all the way from the bottom to the third floor.
It is not fun to do that...
Lucy looked around Erza`s room, still shaking in fear of the great princess.
Why did she fear Erza you ask? You don`t wanna know. Trust me.
Erza`s room has one queen-size bed, two nightstands on each side of it, a medium-sized round table in the middle of the room with 4 chairs, a closet full of her formal clothes for when she has to go to a party or a Nobel meetings. 6 Armor stands on the left end of the room, all had different armors on it.
"Your... Bath is ready, my lady" She said presenting the towel to Erza.
"Thank you, Lucy," Erza said taking the towel from Lucy and walking towards the bathhouse. Lucy as she watched Erza walk away leat out a breath in relief.
30 minutes later:
Erza was walking towards the dining room, where she was sure her mother was. The relationship between the two right now was... pretty strained. Erza did not love her mother as much as she has before. Irene never really paid much attention to her, even when she was not doing her queen duties. She was often on the parties or spending time with other nobles. Not really paying attention to her daughter.
Erza hated her for that, but at the same time, she couldn`t really hate her mother. She is her only family after all.
Erza was wearing one of her adamantine armor (just without the helmet, shields). She opened the door of the dining room and spot her mother sitting at the crown of the table. Irene was talking to one of the servants while holding a spoon with her right hand, that she was using to eat from her plate of chicken soup. When her eyes caught sight of Erza, she dismissed the servant away and returned her attention to the soup. Not all that bothered by the look of distaste that Erza was giving her.
Irene was wearing a scarlet royal dress with fire like pattering down at the bottom of the dress, golden high heels and red royal robe. The crown ever-present on her head.
"Good Morning," She said after eating two spoonfuls of soup
"Good Morning" Erza replied as she set down at the opposite side of the table, across her mother.
Erza was served her plate of soup and begin to eat. A long silence fell upon the two royalties as the atmosphere in the room was so tense you could cut it whit a knife. After awhile Irene wiped her lips with a napkin before setting her eyes on Erza again.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Yes"
"Your training going well?"
"Yes"
"Your apprentice doing well?"
"Yes"
This is how their talk usually went. Short questions and short answers, just how they both like it. Irene stood up from the table and walked over to the door. She turned so her body was facing Erza before telling her where she was heading.
"I am heading to my room, there is something I have to do there. Can you come to the throne room at noon, there are things we must discuss." Before Erza could say anything, her mother left the room.
Erza let out a sigh as she continued to eat her soup. She wanted to talk to her mother about their relationship, she wanted to ask her about her father and even more things she did not know. But how could she when her mother always leaves before she could talk to her.
Maybe she could talk to her about all that at noon when she comes to the throne room. As she was finishing the door opened and through them stepped in a woman with purple hair, black-brown eyes and wearing a full silver body armor (minus the helmet).
This is her apprentice Kagura Mikazuchi. Erza saved her when a group of bandits lead a raid on her village. Although she couldn`t have saved her brother Simon. Erza promised Kagura that she will train her so that one day she could take revenge for her brother. And Kagura was by her side ever since.
Kagura was a fast learner and quickly climbed up the rankings in the kingdoms guard, eventually, she became known as the second strongest woman in the kingdom. She was also recognized by a queen herself and now she is a general of Erza`s most elite team of warriors.
Knight`s of the red plains.
"My lady," Kagura said while bowing her head
"Rise your head Kagura... There is no need for you to be so formal with me when we are alone" at Erza`s words Kagura lifted her head up and nodded with a little bit of worry.
"My apologies my lady. But I insisted that I keep calling you that" Erza nodded at her, easing her worries.
"I suppose that the patrol went well?" Erza asked while taking another spoonful into her mouth
Kagura looked to the floor and then to the side in a clear show of nervousness in her body language. Erza saw this and raised her eyebrow while giving Kagura a "well" look, making the poor girl more nervus.
"W-w-well... It was all going good... until" she paused in her answer, not really wanting to continue.
"Until?" Erza said getting annoyed by Kagura`s fear, she thought she trained her not to show or feel fear for anyone.
"Until we did not stumble upon a group of man" She answered finally. This information did not surprise Erza, a man in their kingdom were treated as the minority and were pretty much slaves in their own home or marriage. So they would often try to escape from the country to try and start a better life.
However, if they try to do that they will be sentenced to death for treason.
Erza never paid much attention to these "beast". She thought all men were the same and they wanted the same thing. Money, alcohol, woman and fame, it disgusted her. Every man that has ever tried to get to her, had his balls cut off and set has an example for the others.
She really really hated men.
Erza closed her eyes and in an uninterested tone of voice said"So what?... What is so special about that. Man often try to leave our grounds and are punished with death if they do." She explained bringing the spoon up for another bite.
Kagura fidgeted with her fingers nervously while looking at the ground. Before looking up at Erza again and in a quiet voice she said.
"But this group was successful"
"Cleng"
"Cough"
"Cough"
"COUGH"
Kagura jumped when she heard the spoon fall out of Erza`s hand and onto the oak table. Her coughs made Kagura sweat bullets as Erza hit herself on the chest plate in order the get the food down, which in her surprise went down the wrong pipe.
After Erza`s cough calmed down, her eyes burned with fury as they fell on kagura again. She saw the girl stand on shaking legs, her face sweating bullets, her eyes showing absolute fear towards her mentor and princess.
Erza slowly stood up and in a very menacing pace walked over to stand in front of Kagura. When she was towering over Kagura, she stoped a look of raging fury still in her eyes.
"Kagura..." Her voice was as cold as ice
"Y-y-y-yes my lady..."
"How many people did you take this morning with you?"
"10 me included"
"From who`s brigade?" Erza asked her eyes never leaving Kagura`s
"Your`s my lady" After that Erza inhaled deeply before starting to breathe in and out through her nose. Her... Her brigade. She let out a breath before saying.
"My brigade?"
"Yes my lady"
"Kagura are you telling me..." She said as she put her gauntlet on Kagura`s armored shoulder, she started to squeeze on it, banding the metal and closing it around her shoulder, making Kagura sweat even more. "Are you telling me that a group of... how many?"
"6"
"6... A group of 6 men... managed to escape... the 10 od my best warriors... 10 of the most well-skilled, most well trained... Warriors WHO CAN SNAP A MAN`S NECK WITH A SINGLE SLAP" Erza yelled at Kagura, as her other hand wrapped around Kagura`s neck before lifting her off the ground and slamming her into the ground. "IS THAT WHAT YOU`RE TELLING ME KAGURA!"
Kagura was looking up at Erza while trying to stop Erza`s hand from choking her. She was breathing quickly in fear and panic. Her vision became blurry as Erza`s hand tighten around her neck. She knew she was running out of time so she moved her lips trying to get her words out before its too late.
"We... got... one..." She managed to whizz out as her eyes begin to roll into the back of her head. Erza released her hold on her neck, making Kagura cough as she tried to get some air back in her lungs.
Erza set back down at the table, crossed one leg over the other and put her fingertips together. Waiting for Kagura to explain herself. Kagura weakly got to her feet, head bowed low not wanting to look at Erza without permission.
"We managed to catch one," She said this time more clearly.
"ONE. JUST ONE, THAT IS SHAMEFUL. WE ARE THE STRONGEST BRIGADE IN THIS WHOLE KINGDOM AND YOU DARE TO SAY TO ME THAT YOU CAUGHT ONE OUT OF 6!. I SHOULD HAVE YOU REMOVED FROM BEING A GENERAL."
Erza`s words hurt Kagura deeply, but that was how she always was toward her. Erza wanted only the best by her side, she will not settle with weakness. Kagura shakingly lifted her head up and looked into Erza`s brown eyes, making sure she had her full attention.
"This one is different..." At those words, Erza raised her eyebrow and stood up again. Walking again over to Kagura.
"Really... How is he different?" She asked with a smirk
"Because he alone took down 5 of our strongest warriors" Kagura answered, her eyes showing absolute honesty and iron will.
Erza`s eyes widen at the answer. 5? He took on 10 of her brigade's warriors and he beat 5 of them. She shook her head and was about to call Kagura a lier, but the look she was giving her left no option to argue.
She closed her eyes and inhaled through her nose before exhaling out of her mouth. Calming herself down
"How severe are the injuries?" She asked
"All have broken arms, both legs, a dislocated shoulders, and minor concussions" Kagura answered. Erza run both hands through her hair, she could not let her frustration over this and the frustration over her mother get to her. She needed to be calm and collective, make sure that the one who did this to her strongest warriors pay.
"What about you?" She asked Kagura
"Just a few bruises and a broken rib... But I will be okay" Kagura asked while rubbing her side
"I am sorry... I did not know" Erza said
"It's okay..."
...
"So we're is the ones who did it," Erza asked with interest, wanting to see the man who beat her warriors.
"He is being put into the dungeon as we speak," Kagura said putting her hands behind her back. Erza nodded before walking towards the door and pass Kagura.
"I am going down there myself... I am want to see the face of the man, who beat 5 of my strongest warriors" She said as the doors shut behind her.
Kagura sighed as she sat at the table, she felt a pain in her side as she sucked in the air through her teeth. She let out quick breaths as she looked at the door, that Erza walked through.
"I know how strong you are my lady... But this man... He could as well be your match" Kagura just set there, waiting for the pain to go away.
Down in the dungeon:
Erza made her way through the long hall of the dungeon, this is where they keep all the prisoners who are experienced in battle. For they force them to fight to the death in the arena. There were more females than male prisoners in here, mostly because most of the females here tried to assassinate or challenged her or her mother. They all failed.
A few male prisoners immediately backed away from the bars that kept them from leaving their cells. They were scared of the princess more so then queen, they heard about what she did to the one guy who tried to hit on her. And they don`t want to experience that.
She arrived at the end of the hall when she saw the door at the end of it, she was surprised to see two of her best guards standing in front of the door. The two guards bowed their heads when they saw Erza and took a knee.
"Rise," She said simply, the guards did as they were told. "What is the meaning of this?"
"Your majesty... We were tasked to keep this prisoner well guarded" One of the guards said as they stood up from their kneeling position
"Who gave you that order?" Erza asked
"Your mother did, your majesty" was her answer
Erza looked down to the ground at hearing her mother being mentioned. She shook her head before looking at the guards.
"Open the door," She said the guard's eyes opened wide in surprise
"Uhh... pardon me your majesty, but I don`t think that`s-"
"Are you defying me?" She said in a low voice, her eyes glaring at the two.
The two guards quickly opened the door and stepped aside for her to go in. They were about to follow her in, but a glare from her stopped them in their tracks.
"I don`t need you two to protect me. Stay out here so no one interrupts me" Erza said as she walked deeper into the room, the guards looked at one another before slowly closing the door behind her.
Erza looked around the cell there was one small window, that had the light of the sun coming through it. No bed, no bathroom or anything. Just how it was supposed to be for these "beasts". Her eyes finally found what they were looking for, a shadow of a body leaning with his back against the cobblestone wall behind him. She walked closer where she could have a clear view of him. Her eyes became wider slightly at what she saw.
He is chained by his arms and legs around his wrist and ankles as well as around both his biceps and knees. He was also chained around his neck, a leather muffler wrapped tightly around his mouth. He looked stronger then most man in her kingdom with that fair muscular build of his, he had a black vest which was opened up giving Erza a perfect view of his toned chest and six-pack.
He wore white baggy pants and had sandals on his feet. But what really caught her attention was the white scarf around his neck with a dragon scale pattern on it and his hair. Who the hell has pink hair?
She walked until she was looking down at him. She heard him breathe meaning he was still alive, she slowly lifted her hand and put it on top of his head. Roughly grabbing a hold of his hair, she begins to lift him off the ground. She gave his face a look since the sunlight was shining down upon them now.
She saw his young but animalistic face. He had fangs bigger than her own and rugged jawline. His eyes were still closed and she could hear faint snore coming from his lips.
"So this animal is sleeping huh... Well, he is about to get a rude awakening" She thought as she pulled her fist back. She took aim, her fist tightening around gauntlets metal, bending it to fit her fist perfectly. She waited a little bit longer seeing if he will wake up.
He didn`t...
Her fist flew through the air at the speed faster the eye could see, she aimed at his jawline within mind to snap it right off.
As the fist was coming closer...
And closer...
Closer...
"Smack"
The fist hit...
But not what it was aiming for. It hit the open-palmed of the hand which was now holding it and was now applying pressure on it.
Erza`s eyes shoot open in shock as she took her eyes off the hand that was clutching her fist, to the face of the one who had her fist captive.
Onyx eyes meet brown...
And one of them was glaring at the other...
It was not brown...
Her breath got stuck in her throat as she looked into the face of now awaken animal. And he did not look happy at all.
He let out a growl before his eyes narrowed dangerously low as he pulled his right fist back.
And he last thing Princess Erza heard and saw is the cobblestone ceiling and the shouting from someone calling for assistance.
