'Get it out of your head, you idiot! Her father promised me her hand!'

'How about she chooses the one on her own free will? You'd lose to me, pantie-man'

5 people with big problems were in his throne room, A black haired and a pink haired guy were trying to kill each other, a blond girl was standing by the side, shaking her head in awkwardness and disbelief while her father just looked at the ground, impatient. A blue haired girl hid behind the pillar, staring longingly at the black haired guy…

Laxus sighed. Since Jude Heartfilia asked him to be the final judge in the struggle for the hand of his daughter, Lucy Heartfilia, he had to listen to these two idiots, but since Jude was one of his town's most important citizens and the question of the one who's gonna marry his daughter is of great importance to all of magnolia, he had no other choice.

'Both of you, shut up!' he blurted out and the two competitors shut up. Lightning raged around the ruler of Magnolia as he looked at them, annoyed. Shooting a glance at Jude Heartfilia, whose vein on the head was clearly visible, he caught the look of impatience. Lucy was promised to Gray, the heir of another wealthy family Jude was interested in making business, but Lucy would prefer Natsu, a nab being the heir of one of the noble born families in Magnolia, but they were of no importance to the economics. Lucy was his only child, so the weight of carrying on the family's wealth rested on her shoulders and she should marry the one who could guarantee her that, according to her father.

Being engaged to one he loved dearly, Laxus could understand her reason to disrespect her father's order, but he can't afford to lose Jude either…

Beside all that, there was still another one who's interested in this case, Juvia 'of the great sea' as she was called by many, was the child of one of the dukes on the coast. She had no problem declaring her undying love for Gray… So now he had to be the judge of who should marry who…

'Alright everyone! Listen up!' He said and stood up from his throne. 'Since this problem needs to be solved, we're gonna find a solution until tomorrow' All eyes looked at him. Whatever he wanted them to do, they had to obey, for he was their ruler.

'By tomorrow, you, Lucy, will get to know which one of these two will be your husband. Do, whatever you like to accomplish this, you have time until sunrise or you will all meet your maker, I'm tired of hearing your endless banter' Everyone's eyes looked confused at him. They knew they annoyed him way too much, but execution if they couldn't sort it out until tomorrow?

'I'm not gonna be executed because of you' Gray shouted and pushed Natsu back. The pink haired one took this as offense and had hit back, if not two hands held him in place.

'Natsu, cut out of this' Lucy said and dragged him to the entrance while Gray looked at the scene in shock. There was no place in hell he'd let them be alone… He stormed out of the palace, but Juvia followed him, crying 'Gray-sama!'.

Jude bent before his king and went out with pride. He also just wanted some resolution to all of this…

Laxus sighed and sat back. He had his own wedding to plan… If he'd tell his fiancée how he dealt with this problem, he'd get a lot of trouble, but he was just as impatient as Jude on that matter.

Thinking of the devil, she appeared in a long, red dress, her white hair flying around her shoulders and caressing her face as she walked up to him, smiling.

'I saw Lucy, Natsu, Gray and Juvia storming out just like the days before, I guess nothing changed?' she asked and sat by his side.

'You could say so, but I added a bit of pressure…' he smirked and leaned back, curious how things would turn out…

'Natsu, why couldn't you just stay still?' Lucy blurted out and scolded him while he looked away, sulking.

The evening slowly settled on the outskirts of Magnolia as they went in the big garden. They actually wanted to explain everything to her father and Laxus, but Natsus short temper proved to be a problem.

Natsu didn't say anything, just walked beside her as she dragged him along. He had enough of Gray, he should just marry Juvia and leave him alone for god's sake!

'Lucy!' Gray hurried over the hill, Juvia behind him and began shouting at the couple. Natsu took the initative and approached the black haired man with a grin. He was ready to fight if he had to.

'Come on and take a bite of my fist' and before long, they started a fight.

Juvia shouted at both of them, but soon, turned her attention to the other girl in the park.

'Love-rival' she whispered and approached Lucy with glooming red eyes. Lucy shrieked and began to run away, how the hell did she always end up in these situations?

On a branch not far away, on a free field somewhere in the deep forest, a fairy sat there, staring at the setting sun. The little creature had spied on the ruckus the 4 humans caused and found the problems of the mortal pretty amusing. Her shoulder-length blue hair waved through the wind as she adjusted her wings and let herself fall off the tree flying around in the soft evening breeze.

She had to guide the truss of her queen through the forest, looking for the herald of her King, Oberon. Oberon and Titania had a complicated relationship for almost 100 years for unknown reasons. The couple, that had been full of love the first 300 years of their reign, since their announcement as king and queen, became distant and cold towards each other. It had been so bad that Oberon left Titania for 30 years and came back now. In the measurements of the fairies time means nothing, but still, they were humans before. They still had another feeling for all of this… She sighed and closed her eyes, navigating through the well- known forest as she collided with an unknown object. She spun through the air, trying to gain balance again as she twirled around and when she finally could fly straight again, she could see the one she collided with.

'Learn to fly, Fairy' a black haired, black winged, wild looking man looked at her, holding his head as he slowly rubbed his temple. On his left arm, she could see the Symbol of Oberon, this had to be the herald. He stared at her with red eyes, his black hair standing spiking in all directions as he looked at her expectantly. He seemed to notice the symbol of Titania.

'So I guess you guide the Queen' he stated and crossed his arms, levitating before her 'wouldn't have guessed you'd be such a shrimp'

She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and scold him, but now there were more important matters to care about…

'And you guide Oberon. Tell me where he wants to meet our Queen.' She wanted to get away from him as soon as possible. He looked far too wild to be a fairy…

'Somewhere behind these trees is a free field ' he waved his hands in the direction she just came out of a few minute ago 'This is where he'll wait, alone' and with that, he turned his back to her, leaving her alone in the woods.

'arrogant idiot' she thought and turned around as well. Her Queen was really looking forward to this meeting, she wanted to settle things as soon as possible, even if she was too proud to admit it, but almost everyone knew this. The royal pair longed for each other since the day they parted, but they were both too proud, too naïve to admit it. The whole kingdom suffered because of their dispute and fractions began to arise, being the cause of a lot of quarrels between the once united kingdom.

Levy, that was the name of the fairy, sighed and sped up all the way back to the base camp of her Queen. Unlike the other fairies, her Queen could, if she wanted too, just be as big as humans and not surprisingly, she preferred this form. She had been human once, just as Oberon, so she was more familiar with this than wings and fairy glitter.

Levy arrived at the base camp, being greeted by all her friends she made her way to the place her Queen was, sitting between two trees on a simple chair, her eyes filled with anger and her silver crown with a big blue sapphire, clearer as the sky could ever be, rested on her scarlet locks. She wore her silver battle armour, since this was the clothing she was most comfortable with, and a sword hanging around her hip. Levy chuckled at the sign, be it love or hate, her Queen liked to take everything as fight.

'Levy, you have returned. Has Oberon told you the meeting point?' she asked her expectantly. Levy could feel the tenseness in her Queens muscles as she almost spat out the name of her husband. How can a couple which used to love each other endlessly end up as this?

'He has, your majesty. The small field in the east shall be your meeting point. He's coming alone' Levy bowed before her Queen as the scarlet haired maiden just nodded and shouted at her truss.

'I'm gonna go alone'. She knew Oberon well enough; he wanted to talk in private. 'Everyone stays here' she commanded and prepared herself to leave. Dealing with her husband is her business; the other fairies had no reason to be there. Drawing her sword she looked at the blade, swinging it dramatically around and preparing a few battle stances. They hadn't seen each other for 30 years, she had to be prepared for everything.

Sighing, she went forwards, making her way through the thick forest as her mind ran almost at the speed of light. Before they became Queen and King, both of them were humans, humans in love. They used to run through this forest, laughing with each other, loving each other…if she could just pinpoint the moment when everything had changed…maybe they'd be able to return to their normal selves. She choose the human body for a reason, it was the only thing that reminded her of her days as mortal. The days she spent working in the merciless sun, the scars she gained for dissatisfying her masters… but also the moments she shared with the human Oberon…if anyone of her servants knew the story of how she'd become Queen, she didn't know how they'd react… It had been because of the mercy of the last King and Queen that they both became Titania and Oberon, and the story about this is just as dramatic as the old fairy tales… but this is another story and will be told at another time.

Brushing away the last branches while her boots drummed against the hard, solid ground filled with the needles of some trees she arrived at the little lighting. The grass there was just as high as her boots and the sun glimmered in the few water drops which still were left from a rainfall not long ago as she saw a figure sitting there on a rock. Titanias eyes sharpened. She hadn't seen him the last 30 years but he didn't look a day older than the time they were announced King and Queen. His blue hair still as clear as the sky before the sunset, his tattoo red like her hair and the eyes greener than the leaves of maple tree. His body was covered in an elegant white cloak with ornaments on the sides as a little dagger showed on his hip, covered with a few gemstones. On his head rested the crown, unlike hers, it was golden. It reminded her of antlers of a Hirsch, the pure gold corresponding with his blue locks as the ornaments winded around the large ruby on the front.

On his left hand she noticed that he was still wearing his wedding ring of pure silver. The fist in her gauntlet clenched as she also felt her ring pressing against the skin. It was one of the few reminders of happier days.

He looked at her with stern eyes; exactly like he used to do the past century as he stood up of the rock and approaching her, giving her a recognizing nod which she returned and both sides began walking towards each other. As they were close together he bowed his head and took her armoured hand in his, giving her the treatment you'd only do if you greet the Queen of someone else, and placed a formal and light kiss on it, whispering 'My Lady' in an emotionless tone.

Titania let the whole procedure pass, bowed her head slightly and managed to blurt out a 'My Lord' before her hand returned to her sword. Tension filled the air as the royal couple looked each other straight in the eye. Silence embraced both of them for a few minutes until Oberon finally couldn't stand it anymore. He sighed and began talking 'You're still proud as ever, Titania. Nothing seemed to have changed in the past years. Your husband has returned, why do you look at him so coldly?' Titania began walking in circles around him, mustering him from all sides as she answered 'Well if it isn't my husband, returning to me after 30 years. If you call yourself my husband, then I have to be your wife, but I ask you, are you really my husband?' She heard a lot of stories about him and his whereabouts and she'd lie if it didn't affect her. Stories of him wanting to marry the princess of India or Africa, wanting to marry the Queen of the Amazons…The Oberon she knew more than 100 years ago wouldn't do this, but she was unsure if he was still the same.

'I am no other than your husband, but I ask you if you recognize me as your King, Titania. After all, I've heard a lot of stories about you and Laxus, I'm still not sure if they are true.' He asked curiously, lifting an eyebrow.

'Nothing is between me and the King of Magnolia. Those rumours are just the illusion of your jealousy. But I have to ask you, why are you here? Is it because of Mirajanes wedding?' She knew that Oberon was acquainted with the white haired maiden and had talked bad about Laxus before, but as she saw that he still wore the wedding ring, it gave her a little bit of hope that he hadn't abandoned her completely.

'If you say the truth and nothing is going on between you and Laxus, then I will answer truthfully. I never promised myself to another and despite our dispute I'm still faithful to you. But I'm not here to discuss that' He turned around to once again facing her and his expression hardened. Titania, whose heart still fluttered after hearing that he did not break his oath from 400 years before, focussed also on what he wanted to say. He leaned closer, putting his fingers on her chin and making her look at him straight in the eye, he towered intimidating above her, but she didn't break under glance.

'I've heard you adopted a human child' he whispered 'You know the risks of doing that he pulled back, but not before his hot breath could tease her skin.

Titania gulped and did her best to ignore the tension arising between the two. How did he know?

'This child is the daughter of one of my friends, she died of an unknown disease and I promised to take care of her. I know the risks well enough, but I am sure there is no reason to worry about.'

Titania felt like a mother to Wendy, the human child, and she loved her like her own daughter even though she was mortal. Wendy wouldn't do anything to bring danger to her kingdom, she loved the fairies like her own family.

'But still, she is a high risk. Let me train her, if she passes everything I throw at her, then so be it. She will be a full member of our Kingdom' he demanded. Titania knew his methods of testing; there would be life danger for Wendy if she agreed. It was difficult for humans to get accepted by the fairies, but Wendy had already gained their trust, there was no need for this.

'No, I won't put her life in danger just because you demand it after you left me for 30 years.' She blurted out ice cold and turned around, wanting to leave, but as soon as she averted her gaze she felt pressure on her arm, holding her back.

'Why does Titania despise her Oberon?' He asked her and for a second she could hear real regret and worry in his voice, but it didn't last long. She continued to stare at the ground as she answered.

'Titania has many valid reasons to do so.' And with that, she shook her hand free and turned around; glaring at him with fierce brown eyes, placing a finger on his chest where she knew one of his old scars was placed. His eyes began to twitch as she pressed with force through his cloak.

'Name one' he dared to say, challenging and placed his hands on both of her shoulders, holding her in place. As they continued their silent stare-off Titania had enough, winded out of his gasp and almost ran away from him, leaving him standing there alone.

Oberon sighed and looked after the vanishing waves of scarlet hair as she stormed away from him in the deep forest. He knew she had some reasons to be mad at him, but he wanted answers, answers why they became so distant with each other, so formal, so loveless. Her disobedience on the matter of the human child didn't do anything good either, but according to the law she had to be tested. 'Fine, then go away, Titania! Your pride will be your doom! Gajeel, come out and show yourself I know you're here' he shouted and knew that the little un-fairy like creature followed him. After all, he had been his comrade the last years and they had a good understanding with each other. 'Yes, My Lord' The black haired creature sat on a branch and smirked at his friend.

'That's some ferocious wife you got there' he commented and swung off the tree. Oberon sighed and returned to his rock, sitting there thoughtfully. 'Gajeel, on a distant mountain there's a flower whose dust can help me in this case. I ask you to bring it to me, it has purple petals and a golden centre.' He commanded and Gajeel just nodded, blasting off in the distant like a rocket as soon as these words left Oberons mouth. The plant he wanted had the ability to make Titania remember all these past moments they shared, maybe it could fix their marriage. Oberon suffered more than he'd ever admit because of all the banter and dispute and he longed after his wife, especially after 30 years of not seeing her and another 70 being on bad terms with her constantly. He knew it was the same with her, but both were too proud to admit it, they wanted to be the rulers instead of the lovers, the moment when that happened…was something he was searching for, to make it all better.

While all this took place on the lighting in the forest, Titania stormed back to her camp, confusion setting around her mind as she just replayed her whole encounter with Oberon which just took place a few minutes ago. First, he acted like he wanted them to be on good terms with each other, in the next minute, he talked purely business and wanted to take her child away, and then, they both had to bring up the dispute nobody knew the reason of why it happened in the first place.

Seeing him sitting there like he used to do 400 years before didn't make it easier either… But still she felt relieved that he had come back to her, and that he still called himself her husband.

To be continued...
