Lucy's Harem (Editing In Progress)

~CHAPTER 26~

Sigh

"Nothing beats a hot bath after a long exhausting day." I sighed in ecstasy.

There was a moment of comfortable silence. The bathroom was huge that it could fit a group of 17 people. I wish I could stay here all day but first things first is to find out more about this place.

This is freaking me out. What is this place and why am I here? What happened to the others. Is this a dream?

I pinched myself harder than how I kicked Natsu. I yelped and rubbed my stung skin. Where is this place?

My face started getting paler the more I think about it. No time to relax. For god's sake I'm just a high school student!

I stood up abruptly and put on some comfy clothes from the wardrobe.

"It's already 6p.m." I murmured and walked towards the door.

"Excuse me, do you know where the queen is? I need to speak with her." I asked a maid wandering in the hallways.

"She is in a meeting with the warriors right now. It will end soon so I suggest you wait in the throne room." She smiled politely at me.

"Thank you for informing me." I returned the smile and bowed before heading straight to the said venue.

"You want to leave? Why so?" Queen Mavis asked worriedly.

"I need to find my friends and I don't even know what this place is. Am I supposed to trust you? Is what Michelle said to me earlier true? Who are yo- no WHAT are you?" There were a thousand more questions that was trying to break free from my head.

"Darling, for now I can only tell you that your friends are in no harm and that your safe but believe me when I say this, if you leave the castle grounds, god knows what can happen to you." Mavis looked at me with serious and sincere eyes.

"Can you at least tell me how to get back to my friends?"

"Me and the my council are figuring out a way for you to go back for the time being. About Zeref, before we go deeper down into that topic, can you please tell me if the Zeref you know back in your world had a black star mark on his left wrist?"

[OKAY GUYS REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE ZERLU STORY NOT BEING PART OF THE MAIN STORY? I LIED]  

Flashbacks of the man flowed through my mind. It is true that he had that mark but not before he tried to kill my parents.

"Yes, but it only appeared after he killed my parents."

"Lucy, darling, the Zeref you're implying to is the Zeref in this world too. I believe he's in the same person as the one you met in earth."

My eyes widened. My heart started beating fast and the I began feeling nauseous.

"So you're saying he's in the same world I am in right now? The guy I knew before he turned evil was actually evil?"

"Not quite. Something definitely happened to the Zeref you know. If you look and compare closely to the earth me and the woderland me, there would always be a mark hidden somewhere around the body. Like for me, I have a white mark of a crown on my right wrist. Normally those who have marks on their wrists are royals but lets not wander off from our topic."

"So what happened to the Zeref in earth?"

"Even I don't know, but I'll make sure to find out. If you were brought here through his abandoned mansion, then there is definitely something he would want from you. For now, I suggest for you to stay in the castle's grounds and to never go outside without Michelle or any other guards, understand?"

"Yes, but please find a way for me to get back home soon."

"Don't worry. It hasn't even been 1 second past in earth ever since you got here, so it should be fine."
