The Golden Heart (Yuno Grinberryall x reader)

Chapter 55 - Return of the Second Princess

Remember who you are

"Welcome back, Second Princess of the Heart Kingdom" Dryad smiles. "We've been waiting for you."

I move my limbs, beginning to stretch out and move slowly before getting up onto my legs, beginning to walk to the exit of the forest. 

"Good luck, your highness"

Quiet raindrops, gliding gently across the leaves of the trees

All my life I hated my power

Despite everyone loving it, I hated it

When someone asks what you could change if you could, I always thought the power that I had

I hated it, I hated myself

Remember Y/n, you're the one that is going to finish this, it your job to ensure the devils never get out again

I just wanted to be normal

No pressure, no destiny

Normal

~Flashback~

"Look at my Y/n! So talented!" My mother cried as I lit the matches surrounding me in a snap of my fingers. "A true prodigy!"

Prodigy huh?

"She really is loved by mana...she's only 7" father laughed, patting my head gently. "She really is special"

But I don't want to be special

"Surely she's going to be someone who is very important in the future! She'll have some great destiny!"

I don't want a great destiny, I want to have a normal life 

All these expectations they already have for me

"Oh my Y/n!" mother knelt and wiped the falling tears from my eyes. "What is wrong my love?"

I hadn't even realized I was crying 

"I must have overused my mana, my head really hurts"

It wasn't exactly a lie, but more than anything my chest hurt

"You are still young, you should get some rest."

That night as I lay in bed, I heard them talking down the hall

"She's only 7 and has this amount of power"

"She's growing so quickly it's almost concerning. She's already surpassed B/n, it's only a matter of time before she becomes more powerful than magic knights themselves" mother whispers, "Even the spirit guardians"

"The time draws nearer, only 8 years to go M/n"

"I know...until then"

I got the gist of what they were talking about, it was only obvious they were talking about me

Silly 7 year old me pretended not to know, thinking it would just go away if I didn't work as hard

It didn't. 

~Present~

So now I stand here, the battlefield in front of me, darkness covering the sky, the feeling of death and pain in the air

It's time to end this for good

"Kaito!!!" I take a deep breath before yelling. Instantly, I go into mana queen mode, my armor the only form of light seen through the clouds
