The Iron Hearted Ruler Prologue

It was the beginning of the Summer season, when the most feared ruler fell in love. He wouldn't let people into his kingdom, only when there were parties or celebrations he felt like sharing. It wasn't until one night when he met her, she was a stunning royal woman. She wore a tight fitting ballgown that was colored in the most expensive and lavish (Color) fabrics, Diamond accents were sewn into the fabric to make it shine miles away. King Gajeel couldn't take his eyes off of her, he truly wanted her, she was going to be his queen.

Gajeel spent the rest of the night focused on her, trying to catch her gaze, which seemed to be everywhere but him. Getting annoyed he smiled as he walked over to her, gently tapping at her shoulder.

"Milady would you care to dance?" He asked her a large smile plastered on his face, something he never gives out freely.

"Oh yes, I take it you have some place else in mind? As the dance floor is quite full, Your Majesty" she replied.

"Oh yes, I do have a spot in mind. Now please hold my hand as I take us there"

Gajeel lead her to the outside balcony, which had two grand staircases attached to either side, leading into the massive garden.

"Your castle is quite large, you must get lonely here" (Name) spoke.

"Oh yes I do, but I tend to keep busy to avoid worrying about simple matters"

"Simple matters?"

"Like having a Queen, Don't get me wrong it's a dream to have someone to share this with but right now I need to focus on making sure everyone knows who the Black Steel Gajeel is"

"And who exactly is he?"

"He's someone who rules by force, Someone who won't cave when the pressure is too much. Someone who will remain strong"

"You must have quite the goal if you tend to live your life alone"

"I just have one goal, Everyone to either love me or fear me"

"Surely you've thought about your Queen, you must have women lined up left and right for you"

"I do but they hold no interest to me, I need to find myself someone who will understand that I have a goal and I will do everything to succeed my dreams. Though there's been this one woman that caught my eye tonight"

"Oh? Who must this mystery woman be?"

"Well, she's currently dancing with the kingdoms worst dancer, who keeps stepping on her toes. I apologize for that my dear"

"Oh? Well she's not that upset, he's quite the looker, despite not dancing to save his life" she teased.

"I must say, will I get to know your name?"

"I am (Lastname) (Name), Princess of the Floral Kingdom"

"Well Princess, what do you say wanna be my Queen?" Gajeel spoke with a shit eating grin on his face, as if what he just declared wasn't the most ridiculous request on earth.

"Your Highness! It's much to soon for that! You must talk to my Kingdom's Officials and propose the idea of you even possibly Courting me! Even then our courting is much different then yours, you must stay in my village for two weeks to prove to my father that you deserve my hand. My father then must put you through trials of trust, it's a long and hard process. Clearly I am not worthy of such love"

"Yes you, you are the most gorgeous woman here, I couldn't keep my eyes off of you the moment you walked through those doors, the way you presented yourself and even helped that one servant who tripped over their own two feet, brought warmth to my heart that I didn't even know existed, I truly do want to be your husband and I will take those trials on like the man you deserve. I will give you everything, you'll never need to lift a finger, you'll be the most loved and happiest queen in all the seven kingdom's combined. Just give me the night to prove it" he spoke, holding her hands and looking down into her eyes.

"Okay Gajeel, prove it tonight"

And that night he proved it to (Name), Two weeks later he left his kingdom in the hands of his most trusted right hand. He was in charge of making sure the kingdom was in one piece as Gajeel would return soon. Gajeel was in the carriage annoyed that he had to be stuck in for who knows how long, Gajeel and vehicles don't mix, he's known for getting sick. In fact most of the Seven rulers, tend to get sick durning it. Gajeel put on a brave face and tried his best to relax as his future wife was riding on his.

"Your Majesty we have arrived, I present you the Floral Kingdom" his driver announced and opens the doors.

Gajeel's eyes nearly popped out of his face, the Kingdom was covered with flowers. Flowers hanging on lampposts, in beautiful arrangements long the cobblestone pathways.

"Your Majesty If you will please follow me, the King and Queen gladly await your presence" a royal servant lead him towards the grand castle.

Upon entering Gajeel was blown away from the sight before him, his woman. (Name) was on the floor helping bathe Orphan children, well what he assumed to be orphans.

Gajeel watched as (Name) got dirty and helped the other maids wash and dry these children, giving them clean clothes and food.

"What's going on?" He asked the servant

"Oh you see princess (Name) has the most loving and loyal heart to her Kingdom, she isn't afraid to get dirty and help her village. She has the most kindest heart in the village, every man has fallen for her charms and wanted to court her but they actions weren't pure, so they failed the trials" the servant replied. "Now please come along, the King doesn't like to be kept waiting"

The servant lead Gajeel to the royal throne room, where the King and Queen of The Floral Kingdom sat graciously.

"Your Majesties I present you Gajeel Redfox, King of the Iron Kingdom" the servant announced and bowed before them, Gajeel also bowed.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Majesty. Now it's to my understanding that you wish to court our daughter, the princess into a union of marriage?" The king spoke.

"Yes Your Majesty I wish to court you Daughter the Princess, with the hopes of marriage."

"What can you bring us if we agree to you courting her"

"I can bring you protection, I've noticed that you have a small army, with my most trusted men I can grant you a much larger army"

"Stop right there, we don't not wish to have an army, the men hired do quite the job. We simply wish to know why you are so different then the many suitors that failed before you"

"I promise to make her the most happiest woman, I vow to always love her and be there for her, never making her feel less my equal"

"When you say equal? What do you mean exactly?"

"I mean that she will be privy to all my royal affairs, her opinions will be greatly appreciated. She will be the most important person in my life, she'll never be second to anyone or anything"

"Hmm, well I must say that you do seem to care greatly for my daughter. Your first trial will be to help her bath those little orphans and then sparring our toughest knights-"

"Honey that's simply too much, just simply bathing the orphans and helping ease (Name)'s work load would be plenty for the first trial. I do hope you aren't afraid to get dirty"

The queen smiled as she shut up her husband. “Our servant will be able to guide you towards your room and help you change, I can assure you it’ll be much better to soil some regular clothes instead of your royal attire, my Husband has so graciously left some of his clothes for you to use”

Gajeel bowed and thanked both of them before following the servant to the guest corridors.

The room Gajeel was staying in was covered in a thick velvet red, the center of the room was the lush king sized bed. The bed was covered in a thick black and sliver covers. The servant started to help Gajeel strip and then change into simpler clothes, a puffy white shirt, and black bottoms.

“Please follow me and I’ll show you to the princess”

The walk towards her was making Gajeel’s heart beat faster then normal, he couldn’t understand why. He was falling more and more in love with the princess. Once he reached her he still smiled at her, she was still sitting in the center of the large room and was still washing the children.

“Princess, I am here to help you wash these children” he spoke as softly as he could not to scare the children.

“Oh King Gajeel, What a pleasant surprise. Can I Help you?” She spoke to him.

“Oh no? I’m supposed to be helping you, with these small children” he replied slightly more nervously.

“Oh okay, makes sense as to why you are wearing the kings old clothes, anyways grab a sponge and a child, and start scrubbing”

Gajeel followed her commands and started to follow her actions. After washing the twenty little children it was time to take them outside and have a small lunch. Gajeel was impressed with her kindness.

“So why do you do this?” He asked

“Well the orphanage doesn’t have the funds to care for all of them so I offered to bring them here to bathe and eat their fills until the caretakers come and get them after dinner” (Name) replied.

“I see, that’s really kind of you”

“I’m not some spoiled little princess, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. I hope that you can understand that”

“Of course, I’m not here to demand you change for me, I’m here to learn more about you, if I have to get dirty along side you I will”

The next two weeks went a blur, Gajeel was getting his hands dirty. Wether it was tending to the animals, working with villagers to solve the problems they faced, tending to the farmers market, helping the orphanage. Gajeel was being pulled every which way durning his stay. He hardly had time to be alone. Gajeel was being treated much different then any other village or kingdom he stayed at, it was like he was stripped of his tittle and was a peasant. Gajeel didn’t mind not having a royal status, it made him much more approachable towards the people of the village.

It wasn’t until the last day when the king requested a grand audience with the villagers.

“Thank you all for coming, I’m here to announce that someone has finally pasted my courting trials for my Daughters hand at marriage. Tonight we celebrate the union of Princess (Name) and King Gajeel. Meaning our sweet Princess will be leaving us to join her future husband in her new home, the Kingdom Of Iron. Tonight we celebrate the honor of our Princess and all she’s done for the village. Please enjoy yourselves tonight!” The king spoke and started to party.

The following day both Gajeel and (Name) both left for the Iron Kingdom, they picked up slight conversions along the way.

“So I know taking you away from your village hurts you, so I made a very large donation to the orphanage, I always paid for it to be fixed up, I’ll be sending some of my best carpenters to the village to start the reconstruction” he spoke.

“Thank you Gajeel, those children deserve the world”

The car ride was quiet and quick, Gajeel was eager to show (Name) the castle, the gardens, his royal courts, her room.

Three months later the wedding happened. Gajeel was waiting eagerly at the alter, The Kings from the surrounding kingdoms were in attendance. Gajeel stood proudly, dressed in all royal blue, he had gold accents along the center of his jacket and he had also worn a sliver bet. The chapel doors opened up at the marching band began to play. The little flower girl walked down the aisle first before (Name), she wore a lovely white ballgown with sliver and diamond accents, the sleeves and the chest piece was covered in lace. Her veil was also lace, she reached the alter and Gajeel took her hand.

“Now we are gathered here today to Honor and Join these two in holy matrimony, the couple had written their own vows, King Gajeel If you will”

“I, King Gajeel. Vow to always make you happy, to make sure you never shed a tear. To love and honor you, to always be your Iron beam to lean on, I will always be there to lighten the load. I want you to know that I love you and I will always cherish my Queen. You will always be my first priority. I will never hurt your feelings or do anything that will harm you, I will never let you go to sleep without being told I love you”

“Gajeel that was lovely, Princess?”

“I, Princess (Name), promise to be the best queen and wife to you. I may not always understand the work you may do but I vow to help your work load, I vow to make your life easier. I vow to be someone you can talk to and be honest with. I vow to always love you, I’ll never stray from you” (Name) spoke.

“You May kiss your bride”

The two shared a sweet and simple kiss before separating and walking down the aisle.

That night the whole kingdom celebrated the marriage of the King and Queen. Once the happy couple was alone, they enjoyed each other’s company and consummated their wedding night.
