10 July X777
It's already 3 day passed since Lucy mother,Layla Heartfilia success opened eclipse gate.And she is healthy and there is no sign of that she suffered magic deficiency disease.With all 12 zodiac gate and extra ophiucus gate,Layla magic burden to opening gate is greatly reduced.
And yes Lucy father,Jude Heartfilia still fool father that spoiled her because Layla presence that make him unchanged.Lucy really think this is best live she always dreamed.
But it's still not enough.Lucy thinking that before she joined fairy tail like her previous life,Her heart still like missing something.
As so Lucy at this day facing her father to asking her something.
"Papa can i ask you something?" Lucy asked innocently.Lucy father,papa with her fool face saying "My dear Lucy do you need something? maybe another doll? another dress? anything you want".
Yes,Jude heartfilia still fool father thanks to Layla still alived.
"I want to join a guild. Fairy Tail, in Magnolia." Lucy tell Lucy what she want
The effect was instantaneous. Jude's face went pale. His fork clattered onto his plate. "A... a guild?!" he spluttered, his voice rising in panic. "But... but why? Is it something I've done? Have I not given you enough? Do you feel you need to run away? Is this a rebellion?" He looked genuinely heartbroken, as if his entire world—a world built on spoiling his daughter—was crumbling.
Lucy reached out, placing her small hand over his. "Papa, no. It's not like that at all. You've given me more love than anyone could ever ask for." She smiled, her eyes sincere. "This isn't about running away from home. It's about... finding another part of it. Fairy Tail is a family. I want to be a part of it, to make friends, to use my magic to help people. Just like Mama does with her spirits."
"Also you already promise right when we making bet before?" Lucy asked her father seriously.
"Well it's true but....." Jude want refute but not found a word that appropriate.
"No but!papa already promised right?!" Lucy refute with fact and promise at past.
"Also i don't think its right to break condition and term as businessmas right" Lucy telling her papa the final blow.
The last word really make Jude heart really like hitted by arrow.Indeed the true businessman is not break their aggrement if they already make the promise.
"Hahahaha okay you win.I never thought i lose the argument to my child" Jude for once laughed because he can see that his daughter really grown up.He really cannot do anything if his daughter act like this.
"So you let me join fairy tail papa" Lucy eyes sparkly eagered waiting her father answer.
"Yes i am allowed" Jude Voice with determination.
"Yay!" Lucy is very happy hearing this.but then Jude suddenly want saying something.
"But!!!! you are allowed by agreed of my 2 condition" Jude saying it with serious tone.
"Wait papa don't you say you agreed my promise before?" Lucy face disbelief hearing her father answer.
"Yes i am agree.But you must also agree of 2 condition that papa tell you" Jude answering her daughter question.
"Okay.but if the condition unfavorable i will refuse no matter what" Lucy answering with pouting face.
"You have no choice Lucy" Jude replied again.
"Okay papa tell me" Lucy answer with indifference.
"First," Jude said, his tone firm. "You will not be living in some drafty guild dormitory. The Heartfilia Konzern owns a villa in Magnolia. A very nice villa. You will live there. With a full staff. And you will come home for visits regularly."
Lucy indifference cracked and internally screaming like "WE HAVE VILLA? AT MAGNOLIA?WHY I NEVER KNOW ABOUT THIS AT MY FIRST LIFE!!!!".Lucy continued internally complain like "SO I NO NEED TO RENT FROM THE START??! DID THAT MEAN I REALLY CHOOSE FOOLISH DECISION WHEN I RUNNING AWAY FROM HOME AT MY FIRST LIFE?I COULD HAVE LIVED RENT-FREE MY ENTIRE LIFE FROM THE START?!" The irony was so profound it was almost physically painful.
After thinking for a while Lucy decided to answering "T-that sounds... reasonable, Papa"
"Second!" Jude continued "Ultear goes with you as your personal maid and bodyguard. I've seen how capable she is at past. She will ensure you are safe, well-fed, and out of... excessive trouble."
"Wait Papa but did not Ultear is got freedom? why she need to serve me again" Lucy asking the important question.
And then suddenly from a door.Woman with 3 year more older than Lucy and wearing maid attire and pale-skinned woman with dark purple hair and brown eyes coming.Its Ultear that visiting Heartfilia Mansion " Because i am that request it master".
Lucy hearing voice from behind and when she saw Ultear here,her reaction be like " Ultear? But why? did not you want goes close to your mother".Ultear then answering " I am already got permission from my mother,master".
Lucy eyes twichting like permission? that Ur ? didn't you mean you asking unreasonably and demanding it?. But knowing Ultear character that are most likely do.Lucy sighed and resigned to herself like " Okay Ultear you win. I accept all your condition papa"
Ultear altrought want keep stoic character but Lucy known Ultear eyes are sparkling.Lucy really cannot win againt her.
Lucy really thinking universe is really has sense of humor.Or is it because Rolotia that guided her? Either way Lucy thinking that this is the best because she no need to thinking about rent again.She can taking mission with ease without keep thinking about does not has single jewel to pay a rent.
At her bedroom while she alone,Lucy reminiscence about her first life,its heroic tale but lot of pain and loss happen.Lucy know with her intervere at Ultear fate from first place,fairy tail at future will definitely look different.But she vow to herself that this time no more pain and suffering and misunderstanding between our.Lucy vow to create a happy ending.
And then Lucy remember about Selene,Moon Dragon Gods that once manipulative while we fighting at Elentear and then she suddenly after become Diabolos guildmaster,She suddenly want live like human out of nowhere after trapping our at dogramag labyrinth.Lucy also remember that she also help her fighting Ignia,Fire Dragon Gods.
"I wonder what really make her change her mind.It's really strange that she suddenly change her mind and heart" Lucy thinking about Selene.Suddenly some telephaty come to her mind and its from Rolotia.
"Lucy does you know that selene is actually not real Selene but consumed by grief" Rolotia giving Lucy information."Not real Selene?What is your mean?" Lucy asked to Rolotia.
"Hmm how should i tell it.She started drastically change after death of his son" Rolotia replied Lucy question."Wait Selene has son?" Lucy face shocked and disbelief hearing this.
"Yes,His name is Kurnugi,Sword Saint Dragon" Rolotia replied Lucy question again.
"Wait Kurnugi? But i remember Suzaku often using kurnugi word as voice..." after lucy thinking for a while,she suddenly connect a dot "Wait you don't mean..."
Rolotia voice slowly saying "Yes,his corpse is eaten by suzaku from diabolos.But don't take it wrong.It's not suzaku that killed Kurnugi".Lucy then asked again "Then who?".
"Its Georg Reizen.Current Diabolos Guildmaster" Rolotia answered.
Lucy hearing this and her face looking pale "Oh no.did that mean we cannot change the outcome no matter what?" Lucy asked.
"You can still Lucy.Kurnugi is slain at X779.You has 2 year to prevented this happen" Rolotia stated the matter.
Lucy thinking for a while for 15 minutes.After that she saying again to Rolotia "Rolotia,If i saved Kurnugi.will it okay and no changed something crucial.will it okay if i prevented it later?"
"Don't worry Lucy,you are has my full support" Rolotia stated with smile serene.
"Okay the next target is prevented Kurnugi demise!! and maybe invited him and selene to fairy tail if it can hehe " Lucy smile akwwkwardly.
"Ara Lucy you already want recruit her and his son" Rolotia chuckled hearing this.
"Is not that okay?" Lucy smile."Well it's okay i will help you at future" Rolotia giving lucy reassured.
And so Lucy after this conversation,Lucy is sleeping.
11 July X777
The next day,with her parents' blessing (and a few dozen trunks of clothes and belongings already being packed by an army of servants), Lucy Heartfilia was finally, officially, on her way to Fairy Tail. Not as a runaway heiress, but as a beloved daughter moving into the family's second home, accompanied by her loyal friend Ultear.
Lucy using Aqua Aera to travelling.She vowed if its not emergency,she will not taking vehicles again.Since Lucy mother Layla already know Lucy ability.nobody is suspected it again.
After crossing the portal and arrive at the place.The Heartfilia Villa in Magnolia was not merely a house; it was a palace nestled in the city's most serene district. As the ornate gates swung open, Lucy felt a wave of surreal disbelief wash over her. The building was a masterpiece of architecture, with sprawling gardens, a sparkling fountain, and a view of the city that was nothing short of breathtaking.
Ultear, standing beside her, let out a low whistle. "Master Lucy, your definition of a 'villa' is... considerably grander than most."
Lucy could only nod mutely, her first-life memories crashing into her present reality. She remembered her old apartment above the bar—the cramped space, the leaky faucet, the constant worry about rent. She had loved it because it was hers, a symbol of her independence.
But this... this was on another level entirely. Marble floors, vaulted ceilings, a library that rivaled the one at the main estate, a private training ground, and a celestial observatory that made her heart sing. Her bedroom was larger than her entire previous apartment, with a canopy bed fit for a queen and doors that opened onto a balcony overlooking the city.
A staff of twenty stood at attention in the grand foyer, ready to serve the young mistress.
As a servant gave her a tour, pointing out the "modest" dining hall and the "cozy" sunroom, Lucy's internal monologue was a scream of pure, unadulterated irony.
A private hot spring?! A dedicated pastry chef?! I spent my first life eating instant noodles on a crate because I couldn't afford a table, and this was just sitting here, empty?! She thought of all the S-Class quests she'd taken just to pay the bills, all the times she'd been flat broke after repairing the guild hall. The sheer absurdity of it all was overwhelming.
She walked into the lavish bathroom, seeing a sunken tub big enough for three people. A memory flashed: trying to wash her hair in a tiny, stained sink after a particularly messy job.
She entered the fully stocked kitchen. Another memory: celebrating a successful job with Natsu and Happy by splitting a single, slightly stale loaf of bread.
A laugh bubbled up in her chest, threatening to turn into hysterical sobs. She had fought dragons, demons, and gods. She had died and been reborn. And the ultimate twist of fate was discovering that she had been, for the entirety of her previous struggle, absurdly, comically wealthy.
Ultear, sensing her master's strange mood, approached. "Is everything alright, Master Lucy? Is the villa not to your liking?"
Lucy turned to her, a wide, slightly unhinged grin on her face. "Ultear," she said, her voice trembling with laughter. "It's perfect. It's just... I was just thinking about how... interesting life is."
Shaking her head to clear it of the ghosts of her past poverty, Lucy made a decision. This villa wasn't a symbol of being coddled. It was a tool. A base of operations. A place where she could train, study, and plan without want or worry. And most importantly, it was a stone's throw from the guild she loved.
She looked out her balcony towards the distant, familiar building of Fairy Tail. A sense of profound peace settled over her. The long, secret war to fix the past was over. She had saved her mother, saved Ur and Ultear, and set Erza and her friend on a better path at Fairy Tail included suppose future Oracion Seis Member. Now, it was time to live.
"Come on, Ultear," Lucy said, her grin softening into a genuine smile of anticipation. "Let's go cause some trouble."
The heiress, the maid, and the future legend of Fairy Tail walked out of the lavish villa, not as prisoners of wealth, but as its masters, ready to finally walk through the doors of their true home. This time, Lucy Heartfilia was coming to Fairy Tail with her eyes wide open, her heart full of love, and a bank account that could probably buy the entire city. It was going to be a very different experience.
