In the lavishly decorated large room, in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, which is larger than the door, a noblely dressed girl stands there.

Lucy tied her scattered blonde hair behind her head, put on a bright red expensive hair ornament, and wore a floor-to-ceiling off-the-shoulder dress on Lucy's body, showing her elegance and beauty.

Lucy in the guild dresses up as she pleases, like a wild child who is neither big nor small, but Lucy in this dress is like a princess.

The two maids next to them braved the starry eyes and praised them repeatedly:

"Or Miss Lucy looks good in this outfit!"

"It's just, and the size seems to be a little smaller

..." Lucy looked at herself in the mirror, with a look of reminiscence on her face, and muttered:

"I almost forgot, I used to be at home, I wore this kind of clothes..."

Lucy pinched the corners of her skirt, and the corners of her slightly raised mouth gradually fell.

Before, with my mother and father, the happy days in this family are no longer there....

In the huge study, a man sat at his desk, on which were scattered papers and papers, on which many materials about Hatfilia's family were recorded.

Jiu De's expression was cold, silently looking at the documents on the table, at this time, there was a regular knock at the door:

"I'm Lucy, my father, I'm back."

There was no expression on Jiude's rigid face, raised his head slightly to look at the door, and said in a deep voice:

"Come in."

The sound of pushing the door sounded a little harsh in the large, empty study, and Jiu De squinted at Lucy who slowly walked into the room, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone:

"You are finally back, Lucy."

Lucy's expression was joyless or sad, her eyebrows were lowered, and she responded calmly: "Father."

"I'm really sorry I left this house without saying anything."

"I've reflected deeply on that."

Jiu De snorted coldly, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and said casually: "In terms of your personality, it is still a matter of time."

"If I stay in that guild forever, I will have to use my financial resources and power to ruthlessly destroy that guild completely!"

Speaking of this, Jiude paused, and then looked at Lucy with satisfaction as if looking at his own work: "It seems that you have finally grown up, Lucy."

"Now you should know how much trouble your wayward actions will cause to the people around you!"

Gyude ignored Lucy's increasingly low expression, and continued with a self-care:

"You are the eldest lady of the Hatfilia family, different from others, and the world you live in is different!"

"It's lucky that you can understand this

, Lucy..." Lucy's cold eyes looked at the man in front of her complexly, but Jiu De did not see through the meaning in his daughter's eyes, and said with a smile:

"This time I will find someone to bring you back, for nothing else, because something more fortunate has fallen on you."

"I have already helped you negotiate the marriage with the young master of the Qiu Rainier family."

Lucy smiled self-deprecatingly, shook off the last glimmer of luxury in her heart, and said weakly and softly:

"Yes, I think it is probably the same kind of thing."

Jiu De turned his head to look out the window of the study, his eagle-like eyes were full of ambition for the future, and said proudly:

"By creating a marriage relationship with the Qiu Rainier family, the strength of the Hatfilia family will be further expanded, this is a marriage that can determine the future and luck of the family!"

Lucy smiled sarcastically and repeated in a low voice: "Lucky, lucky..." Jiude

nodded affirmatively: "Of course, and you have to have a son to inherit our Hatfilia family!"

"That's all I have to say, you can go back to your room."

After a lot of chatter, Jiu De naturally waved his hand, wanting to call Lucy out.

But at this time, Lucy's voice suddenly sounded: "Father, don't misunderstand!" Jiu

De was stunned, and turned to look at Lucy, whose spirit was completely different.

Lucy stared at Jiude tightly and said word by word: "I came back this time to express my determination!"

"I confess that it's wrong of me to leave home without permission, because that's no different than running away."

Lucy raised her head, looked at Jiu De with a firm gaze, and scolded loudly: "My luck, it's not for you to decide!"

"Only what I pursue is my luck!"

"What marriage, what children, what future, these arranged luck I am not rare!" I'll go my own way, it's not your turn to meddle!

"And!"

Lucy suddenly stretched out her finger and pointed at Jiude, and her voice slowly became cold: "In the future, you are not allowed to move a single hair of the fairy tail!"

With that, Lucy jerked her hand to her chest and forcefully tore off the luxurious and beautiful thin gown, revealing the simple inner lining.

It is like a girl who gave up her glamorous caged bird life and insisted on running towards the simplicity and purity she longed for.

The torn expensive cloth flew in the air, and Lucy's delicate face became more and more excited, and roared:

"Otherwise, both me and the Fairy Tail Guild will treat you as an enemy and defeat you!!"

Jiu De looked at the resolute girl in front of him, his eyes couldn't help trembling, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Lucy's determination, love for the guild, and dislike for herself are far more than Gyunde thinks in his heart.

"If there hadn't been a ghost incident, maybe we could still talk calmly, but now, it's too late."

Lucy turned and walked towards the door, never looking back at Kyutoku again.

But thinking back to everything she had experienced with her parents in this family before, Lucy felt sad in her heart.

However, Lucy did not regret it.

What she wanted was not the so-called fame of Hatfilia, what she wanted was a place to simply recognize the person named Lucy.

It was Fairy Tail, a home that seemed to Lucy to be much warmer than it was here.

With the palm with the guild coat of arms, Lucy raised her head towards Jiu De, silently saying in her heart:

"Goodbye, father..." Jiu

De looked at Lucy who was gradually moving away, he wanted to go over and save his daughter, but for some reason, he couldn't take a step.

Is it because Gyuntoku's pitiful self-esteem in his heart is at work, or... He knew he had lost the ability to communicate with his daughter.

"Layla, Lucy she... It's really like you..." Jiu

De was silent for a moment, looking at the empty study, and couldn't help but meditate in his heart.

I don't know what I'm thinking, but Jiude still doesn't want to communicate with his daughter, and he always thinks that he is right.

Only in this way is the perfect arrangement for Lucy.

Just when Jiu De returned to the desk lonely and was looking at the desktop out of his mind, his pupils suddenly contracted violently!

I saw that on the desk, I don't know when a knife was inserted, and a note was stabbed into the table.

Jiu De pulled out the knife with trembling hands, slowly took off the note, and saw a few lines written conspicuously on it:

"Don't appear in front of Lucy until you figure it out, otherwise this knife will be kept for yourself."

Behind a paragraph of endless text, there was even the audacity to attach the signature:

Anker Thuram.

Jiude's breathing became more and more rapid, and he collapsed on the stool for half a day without moving....

It's a terrible guy to sneak in so easily and undetected.

Fairy tail, really powerful.

Jiu De slowed down for a long time, and finally got out of the frightened emotion, and then looked at the blue sky outside the window with complicated eyes, and sighed in his heart.

Lucy, I really have a good companion....
