Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 184: I\'m Looking for Your Wife for Something

This mission was like receiving power. It was accompanied by the blood of the Heartfilia Family and magic. Finally, this mission landed on the current inheritor of the Heartfilia Family, who was also Lucy\'s mother, Layla Heartfilia.

As the current head of the Heartfilia Family, she would use the Twelve Celestial Spirit Keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirit to open the Eclipse Gate and end this forty-year-long destiny inheritance of the Heartfilia Family.

And now, Layla Heartfilia given up on the risk of being a Celestial Spirit Mage. She was actively preparing for this long-lasting relay race. For this reason, Layla Heartfilia used the power of the Heartfilia Family to contact all the Celestial Spirit Mage in the continent who had the keys to the Twelve Celestial Spirit. She gave a high reward to borrow the twelve keys of the Twelve Celestial Spirit in the hands of these people. At the same time, Layla also contacted her three former servants.

When Layla gave up her seat as a Celestial Spirit Mage, she had given her three keys to her three servants respectively. The lock key of Capricon was with Zoldeo, Cancer was with Spetto, and finally the lock key of Aquarius was with her own maid, Grammi...

However, it was a pity that Layla only contacted Zoldeo and Spetto, but she could not contact the maid of the distant Western Continent, Grammi, which made her feel a headache...

For this reason, Layla\'s husband, Jude Heartfilia, had always been by Layla\'s side, helping her think of a way. Unfortunately, even the Heartfilia Family, which was as rich as a country, had no way to contact the Western Continent. After all, their Heartfilia Family was only a famous family in the Kingdom of Fiore and even Ishgar. They did not have connections and forces that crossed the continent.

For this reason, Jude had once asked the Magic Council to find a way to contact the Western Continent. He hoped that the Magic Council could help to contact the great beauty of the Western Continent. However, the answer he got in the end was that although the Magic Council also wanted to help, unfortunately, the Magic Council in the Western Continent had been destroyed. In other words, the matter of contacting the Western Continent was something that even the Magic Council could not help.

This made Jude feel a headache, but there was nothing he could do...

In the beautiful room of the Heartfilia Family, which was as big as a castle, Jude Heartfilia looked at each other in silence.

"Don\'t worry, Jude..."

"We will always have a way. We will definitely be able to do it."

Layla looked at Jude, who was anxious and even started to be absent-minded, and comforted him with a smile.

"Huh?! Hehe..."

"Sorry, Layla, I made you worry. I should have helped you solve your problems and comforted you. In the end, it was you who comforted me."

After listening to Layla\'s words, Jude was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and apologized to Layla.

At the same time, Jude blamed himself. Every time it was like this, Layla was comforting him, but he could not help Layla at all.

"No, we are family! Family should help each other..."

Layla smiled after hearing Jude\'s words. She was like a sun, always shining on Jude. It was also because Layla was always like a sun that Jude seemed to have changed after Layla died. Because the moment Layla died, Jude\'s sun never rose again.

"Don\'t worry! Even if we give it our all, I will help you gather all the keys we have accumulated over the years."

After listening to Layla\'s words, Jude grabbed Layla\'s hand and said excitedly to Layla.

All these years, the property of the Heartfilia Family had been rolling in the hands of Jude, a business genius. It had reached the peak of the last four hundred years of the Heartfilia Family. Jude believed that with his wealth, he could find a way.

"Haha, don\'t worry. It will be fine!"

After listening to Jude\'s words, Layla smiled gently. However, behind Layla\'s smile, there was a bit of loneliness. If they really did not gather the Twelve Celestial Spirit Keys in the specified time, then Layla had another way to open the Eclipse Gate. That was to use her own magic and life to fill up the missing constellations in order to open the Eclipse Gate!

If the Eclipse Gate was really like what was recorded in the records, then Layla knew that the moment she successfully opened the gate, there was not much time left for her.

But in the eyes of Layla, all of this was worth it...

"..."

Jude looked at Layla for a long time without saying a word. In this world, the one who loved and understood her the most must be him, Jude.

Therefore, Jude could see the heaviness hidden behind her smile. He clenched his fists and cursed his incompetence. Although Jude had also thought of persuading Layla give up, or to persuade her to open the door later, Jude knew that he could not do it. He could not stop his wife, Layla, to complete the long-cherished wish of their Heartfilia Family.

Just as Layla and Jude were holding hands and looking at each other affectionately, a maid pushed open the door of their bedroom and said, "Sorry to disturb you, Madam Layla, Master Jude, there is a guest who claims to be the Fairy Tail Mage outside."

"Eh, cough cough, I got it..."

When Layla and Jude saw the maids suddenly push away, they immediately let go of their tightly clenched hands shyly and coughed softly twice. At the same time, they nodded to the maids, indicating that he knew.

"Yes, Master."

Although the maid felt that her master and wife were very strange, she did not say anything and turned away.

"A mage from the Fairy Tail? I wonder why they are looking for me?"

After the maid left, Jude looked at Layla and whispered to himself.

"Maybe he has something to talk to you about. In short, you should go and take a look!"

Layla smiled at Jude after listening to Jude.

At this time, Layla and jude did not think about the mission. They did not think that there was anyone in this world who knew the secret that belonged to the Heartfilia Family.

"Alright, I\'ll go take a look!"

"Speaking of which, I was still in the western entrance. I received the help of the Fairy Tail. Now that I think about it, it has been about two and a half years. I really didn\'t expect that in just two years, the Fairy Tail that was only famous in the Kingdom of Fiore was already a well-known Mage Guild in Ishgar..."

Jude nodded slightly after hearing what Layla said. At the same time, he remembered that two years ago, when he went abroad to discuss business, he had received the help of a group of mages who called themselves Fairy Tails at the town of in the western entrance.

Jude could still vaguely remember the faces of those people. They hadn\'t seen each other for two years. He wondered how these people were doing now!

In this way, Jude came to the gate of the house of the Heartfilia Family with nostalgia and curiosity. He personally pushed open the door of his house and was ready to personally greet the archmage from the Fairy Tail.

"Kacha..."

When Jude pushed open the door of his house and looked outside, he saw a handsome young man. At this moment, the young man was smiling at Jude.

"Mr. Jude Heartfilia."

The young man smiled at Jude. At the same time, he imitated the poor aristocratic interests and asked.

"You are?"

Jude looked at the young man in front of him. For a moment, it was as if he had returned to the town at the western entrance. Although the young man in front of him had become a little taller, Jude would not be mistaken. The young man in front of him was the young man who had helped him retrieve the lost wallet, the young man who called himself the mage of the Mage Guild, Fairy Tail.

At this moment, when Jude saw the young man, his heart was filled with excitement. He had a feeling that he had reunited with someone he knew after a long time. This feeling was shattered when the young man said the second sentence.

"Mr. Jude, I wonder if your wife, Layla Heartfilia, is home?"

"I have something I wish to invite Layla Heartfilia to have a private talk with me..."

Just as Jude was looking at the young man in front of him smiling, the young man looked at Jude and asked with a smile.

"Huh?"

The smile on Jude\'s face disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the way he looked at the youth became extremely strange.

"Huh?"

The youth had a strange expression on his face. He thought that he was already very polite. He really didn\'t know why Jade would have such a big reaction.

"You couldn\'t have been sent by my previous love rival, right? It\'s true. After so many years, are they still thinking about Layla?"

Just as the youth was puzzled, he heard Jude looking at the youth with some displeasure.

"Haha, you misunderstood me."

"I came here for the Eclipse Gate. Please tell Miss Layla that this inheritance that spanned four hundred years is not only fought alone by the Heartfilia Family..."

The teenager smiled gently after listening to the words of the old man. At the same time, he looked at the old man and explained.

Yes, the young man, Evan, had immediately rushed to Heartfilia Family after receiving the mission issued by Zeref.
