Chapter 13

A week later.

Natsu is now fully healed and is being led by Hisui towards the throne room, with Happy sitting on his head, eating fish.

The dragon and the princess became a pretty good friends over the week.

Though Natsu couldn't move much, the two still had fun, with Natsu telling her about all of his adventures with his friends and family.

Right now, their friendship is already at the level of Natsu and Lucy. Heck just last night, Natsh went to Hisui's room, with him being thrown out.

Natsu couldn't understand why though, he always stays at Lucy's room and she doesn't even kick him out but just scold him.

Heck, he even slept at Mira's place sometimes when Elfman and Lissana wasn't home and are on a mission.(Note: Before you get your hope's up, no, they didn't do anything but sleep)

But what he couldn't understand was, Mira always say to keep it a secret and not tell anyone at the guild, but he just shrugged it off and agreed.

Back to the present.

The princess and the dragon already arrived at the familiar door with two maids pushing it to open, and the two step inside.

Hisui quickly went to her father's side while Natsu just stood there, looking at the king.

"Congratulations, Natsu Dragneel. On the behalf of the citizens of Fiore, I thank you, if it wasn't for you, then who knows how much lives will be taken before taking it down."

Natsu just grinned ans held his head high with pride. Even though Jura helped him, it still doesn't take the fact that he fought and took down a Saint-class beast.

Toma just smiled before he waved his hand and two maids came in, each of them were holding something.

"Take this as your reward, Natsu Dragneel. This one here is twenty million jewels, and the other is a special clothes made by the threads of a Saint-class Volcanic Spider. I heard that your clothes were destroyed, so take this as gift from me."

Natsu's ears perked as he heard the King's words. He couldn't help but give a grin from all the good stuffs he received.

In fact, this is probably the first time in forever that he received a jewels from a job, and its very big as well.

"Aside from that, take this-" Toma glance at his daughter who nodded and approached Natsu, "Its a token that allows you come in and out, and go anywhere here at the palace. It also gives you twenty percent discount on anything you will buy."

Hisui took out a small case and opened it, revealing a golden badge at the size of a fist with the symbol of Fiore imprinted on the center.

"Wow~! Thanks old-man! This reward is already enough! Thanks!"

"Aye! It means we can now buy more fish with lesser money!"

"Hahaha! You're right buddy, we're going to buy more fish with lesser money."

Hisui stood there, watching the cat and dragon duo with a smile.

...

Meanwhile, at a place surrounded by trees, is a wide lake with a clean water, sitti beside the lake was a handsome man in his thirties.

He has a short gold hair and a tattoo of a smiling skull on his right cheek.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blows and a figure wearing a brown cloak dropped down from the sky.

"I've been looking for you for more than a week, Liem-dono." the brown cloak figure dropped down to his knees and bowed.

"Mmhh."

"The Titan was killed, Thandrus-dono failed on retrieving the crystal and half of it was missing, I don't know what happened to it though."

"Mmhh."

"Even though Freed-dono's work of awakening the titan ended up in failure by its death and the loss of half of its crystal, I still took the lightning titan crystal from Thundrus-dono." informed the cloak figure.

"Hahaha." the golden haired man just laugh before looking down at his reflection on the water, "You think his work failed? You think the plan has been pushed back? Well you are wrong-"

"-let us now begin, the phase two."
