Loving A Heartless King (Nozel Silva x fem reader)

Mask Festival Pt. 2

They safetly arrived at the Mask Festival and the first thing they did when they arrived was to buy some food and sat on the table. (Y/N) ate all the food the food they bought while Nozel Nozel was standing next to her wondering how fast could she ate. He couldn't judge her though, after all, it was his fault that he forgot to bring her food before leaving in the morning.

"I-I'm so sorry! I shouldn't eat like that in front of you." she said embarassed.

"You don't have to apologize, (Y/N). It's my fault that I forgot to bring you food." he said and she was about to say something, but a man in mask came to their table and told them that they had to wear masks on that festival.

After they finished eating, they went to the nearest mask shop and bough masks. They were many people there so Nozel grabbed (Y/N)'s hand and starting walking around.

After some minutes, they stopped at a game with balls and bottles. Nozel had to throw a ball in three bottles to win a prize. He tried to tear down the bottles, but he didn't had a good target and teared down one bottle and win a tiny teddy bear for (Y/N). He expected her to be disappointed, but she wasn't.

"It's so cute! I love it!" she said.

"Really? I mean there were better prizes and I won the smallest one." Nozel said and she nodded.

"This is the first time someone offered me a gift and I'm so happy. Even if it's small I love it. Thank you so much!" she said smilling. The mask was covering her face so he couldn't saw her smile, but he knew she was happy.

They continued enjoying the festival and Nozel tried to play other games to win a better prize for (Y/N) even if she was satisfied with that teddy bear. Unluckily, he lost all the games because of his lack of skill at games.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't won more than that bear. This was the first time I've ever played games like these." he said feeling ashamed of himself. They were even kids who beat him at those games.

"It's okay. You're more better at games than me. It's hard to believe, but I've never touched a ball in my entire life."

"Me too. I've never had friends to play with and, even if I had, I was too busy with...other things..." he said remembering his cruel childhood when he wasn't loved by nobody and treated like a slave.

A few minutes later, it was midnight and fireworks started appearing in the sky coloring it with blue, red, yellow, white and many other colors. Nozel didn't expected them to be so beautiful, even if Alfred told him so, and (Y/N) was amazed, it was her first time seeing fireworks and she couldn't imagine that they could illuminate the sky like that.

After the fireworks were done, the festival ended and Nozel and (Y/N) went home.

"It was amazing! Thank you for taking me to the festival!"

"You're welcome! I think it had been better if I hadn't forgot to bring you food today."

"No problem! It's okay to forget sometimes, but you can leave me money so I can buy myself if you forget."

"I'm sorry, but you can't leave the forest. The whole Kean Town is searching you and they put posters with you everywhere." Nozel said and showed her the poster he found a few days ago.

"I see, but I can't rely everything on you. I don't want to bother you everyday with this things. I'm not a child."

"I know, but if they found you, they're gonna kill you and I don't want this to happen. I want to keep you safe here until they will gave up haunting you." he said, approached to her and grabbed her hands. "Please understand! You mean a lot for me and I... don't wanna lose you." he said and she freed herself from his grab.

"I don't understand." she said and stepped back.

"What don't you understand?"

"Everything! I really like you for being so kind with em, but I have a lot of things that still remain unclear for me. First of all, why are you so kind with me? Second, who are you? I lived here for week and still I don't know anything about you. All my life, everyone hated me for being who I am and, even if you were just passing by my town when they were about to execute me and never met me before, you saved me like you knew I was inocent. How did you know that and why you keep bothering taking care of me while a normal person would've left me on my own?" she said and Nozel was shocked.

It was no going back then. He didn't wanted to reveal himself, but If he didn't do it, he would've lost her trust forever so he decided to do it.
