"You're saying that you were beaten?" Gray asked angrily. He didn't expect for his top agents to be beaten by a mere 'butler'.

"Y-yes. We're very sorry...but..."

"But what?" Gray said sharply. The two agents tensed up from the sharp tone of Gray's voice.

"Calm down, Gray."

"Tch. Loki." Loki was not as pleased as well, but not as disappointed as Gray. Loki show no expression in his face, but inside he was definitely not as please since their plan didn't work out as well.

"We need to settle down, and not get so worked up since our plan did not work. First we need to know how that butler actually defeated those two." Loki said calmly. "Well?"

The two agents stared at Loki trying not to be as scared as they are in the inside.

"U-um... Well, to be honest, that butler was definitely not a mere human." One of the agents said.

"Not a mortal indeed." The other agent said.

"How so?" Gray asked, beginning to show interest.

"He was a mage."

"He was a fire mage!" The other agent panicked.

"A fire mage, you say?" Loki asked.

"Hahahahaha! A fire mage? That dolt of a butler looked like he couldn't even touched fire, much use magic with it!"Gray laughed as if he couldn't laugh tomorrow.

"He couldn't be the... No he couldn't be." Loki thought.

Back at Heartifilia's Mansion:

Natsu was walking in the halls of the Heartfilia's mansion towards the princess' room to bring her some tea.

*knock* *knock* "Princess. Your tea arrived." Natsu stated.

"Bring it in Natsu!" Lucy replied back happily.

"P-Princess..." Natsu blushed at the fact Lucy said his name.

"Natsu, you should call me Lucy. Don't call me princess, it sounds too formal." Lucy said.

"But princ-" Natsu tried to fight back as he gave Princess Lucy her tea.

"No buts." Lucy smiled sweetly.

"Okay." Natsu grinned back. Ever since that day when Natsu brought Lucy to the outside world, they have been more closer than ever. Natsu sit back nonchantly while Lucy sipped her tea and reading her book. 'Now that I'm friends with Lucy, should I tell her... Wait. I shouldn't tell her. At least not yet...?' Natsu thought.

"Natsu." Lucy said while interupting Natsu's thoughts.

"Hmm... Yeah?"

"Uhh... Because you're my friend, I have some things to talk about."

"Yeah sure."

"I don't know if you heard but my father wants to track down that fire mage that has been wreaking havoc out at night."

"Really?" Natsu laughed at the fact her father wants to capture 'him'.

"Yeah." Lucy laughed, after all it was her father going up against the mysterious fire mage.

Natsu sighed in discontent once he left Lucy's room. 'Why can't I tell her?' The thought just keeps ringing in his head. Who knows? Maybe she'll accept for who he is, after all... she's his friend. Right? Sure, he was a butler and she was a princess but...

*beep beep*

'Shit.' Natsu bit his tongue on the sound of his watch. 'It's time to go already?' It was 9 in the morning and he already had a mission.

'The missions are increasing now-a-days... What a pain.'

"OW!"

"Huh?" Just as Natsu was thinking he stepped on Gray's foot.

"You squinty eyes! What the heck is this!" Gray shouted as he pointed to his dirty shoe.

"My apologies sir!" Natsu tried his hardest to not the punch the man, and smiled bitterly.

"Yeah you better!" Gray cried out just to be held back by Loke's tap on the shoulder.

"Let's not make a fuss about it. He could be dangerous than we want him to be." Loke smirked.

"This guy can't be him." Gray hinted to Loke. "He looks waayyy too weak. I can beat him up in one punch!" Natsu flinched towards his comment. No way Gray could know about his identity and beat him up, right? Was he even strong in first place? He did grow up in the rich lifestyle...

"What do you mean sir? I can't be him?" Natsu smiled when he asked the question to Gray and Loke. Even he was curious to what they were talking about.

"I'm sorry, but that's confidential, unless... you really want to know?" Loke smiled deviously, and looked down at Natsu.

"My apologizes Master Loke and Master Gray, but I have an appointment to attend to! Hahaha!" Natsu laughed lightly. He couldn't possibly skip out the mission from the 'council'.

"Sure, whatever." Loke pat Natsu's shoulder and left with Gray, although both were disappointed it didn't mean it was over.
