Author's Note: I healed a bit faster than I thought, so here is day 1. Remember, this continues over from last years prompt.


She had always been his little girl, his picture-perfect princess. Much to his wife's chagrin. But Lahar would not ever how smug he was over that. Though at the current moment, the little girl that was the perfect blend between his beautiful while and himself was behaving like a spoilt brat. And it was very frustrating, to say the least. He did not know how to handle it either. Though he knew the root of the problem.

"AMANDA LAYLA ZEIGLER!" he yelled, causing his daughter to cease her tantrum and look at him with wide amethyst eyes.

He saw the fear and shock in their depths. He hated to see it there. But there was no other way to get her to stop her infernal crying. Crying that was unwarranted. Narrowing his eyes on her, letting her know that he wouldn't back down. As her bottom lip began to tremble in earnest. This had to stop and she had to grow up.

"You will quit acting like this. It displeases me greatly young lady," he said, lowering his voice but not softening the tone. Steeling himself to not give into the tremble of her bottom lip. "If you do not quit being mean, throwing tantrums because you do not get what you want immediately, then I will ground you to your room except for meals and your schooling."

His words had an impact on his daughter, who now had her mouth hanging open like a fish. Totally unrefined. Mentally he was glad that they were at his parents. Because they were claiming their right. Lucy just gave birth five months ago to his son. Which was the cause of his now six-year-old daughters petulence? It had been hard for him and Lucy to get pregnant a second time with schedules, work, missions, and a small child. Then finding out that she had something called endometriosis. They had been blessed after doing IVF with the boy.

But the fact it had taken so long, Amanda being their only child to love. And with his parents, her father, and Fairy Tail, on top of Hisui. His daughter had grown to be a very spoilt and selfish child. It would stop today.

"Papa?"

Her quiet voice pleading with him. Shaking his head no, he didn't take his eyes from hers. This was one thing he would not back down.

"I get you are not happy having to share everything with Castor. But you acting like you are will not change it. He is your little brother and here to stay young lady. And by acting like this you are pushing people away because no one wants to be near someone who is selfish and demanding." He explained as he knelt down and put his hands on her shoulders.

Lahar was glad that his daughter was just as smart as himself and her mother. At times it had proven to be a real problem. Creative, inventive, downright manipulative when she really wanted something. But she was fearless, brave, caring, and exceptionally loving. All just like her mother. All the things he was glad for. So, as they stared for a few minutes in silence. Conversing with just their eyes, Lahar felt her shoulders sag.

"Am I still Papa's Princess?" she asked.

This had him cracking. He couldn't help it. Smiling he pulled his daughter into a fierce hug! Resting his cheek on her soft blond hair.

"Yes. Always. But Papa doesn't like it when you act like an evil princess. You have so much love and kindness in you like your mother. Show it to your brother, please," he said.

When her small arms did their best to wrap around his waist, Lahar knew she would do as she was asked. Lifting his head up, he saw Lucy standing there holding Castor, looking at him with nothing but love and pride on her face. Causing his heart to swell in return. Almost seven years of marriage. Not all of it easy, but he couldn't say that he would change a damn thing. Not when she held his son in her arms and looked at him like that. His life was as perfect as he knew it could get. He had the most amazing wife, friends aside, a beautiful and intelligent daughter. Handsome son now and fairly peaceful life, again his wifes' friends aside.
