"Darling Y/N" - [Affogato x Reader]

Chapter XII - Playing Innocent P2

In annoyance, I slammed my fist in anger. It was a stupid idea from the moment I thought of it. All that could be heard was the howling of the Cacao wind for miles. A knocking noise was heard at the door. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, revealing a serious-looking Dark Cacao. "How the hell did you escape the dungeons?!" I asked, frantically locking the door. 

"Let's just say, manipulation."Dark Cacao answered. He was about to say something else when I hushed him - I could've sworn someone was walking down the corridor. I grabbed his wrist and took him to the balcony. Nobody would be able to hear us over the loud cheers, clinking glasses and the harsh howling of the wind. 

I leant on the balcony, gazing at the trees rustling down below. "It's a shame you've gotten into this mess," he started, looking at me, "It's my fault, I'm sorry Y/N...". Inside, I felt sudden guilt. It wasn't his fault! 

"It's not your fault Dark Cacao. Maybe if I-" he interrupted me mid-sentence, and heavily sighed. There was a short silence before anyone spoke again. "If I never accepted that devious snake to be my Royal Advisor, you wouldn't have been in this situation. He left me to suffer..." he muttered, placing his hand on top of mine. There was a sudden shouting noise from my door that made me flinch. 

"Just remember, I'll be at the party disguised if you need me," He mentioned before he disappeared. He probably dashed to the other door and left that way. Dark Cacao never left me any details of what he was gonna look like, yet I knew he would be watching every move. Rushing to the door, revealed a very pissed Affogato.

"I had been standing there for hours!" Affogato exclaimed, tightening his grip on my hand. Once we'd gotten to where the main party was, he dragged me to his throne. I felt a slight tint of discomfort because I could tell Dark Cacao was watching. Affogato placed me on his lap as he wrapped his arms around my waist. 

"I forgot to mention, you look perfect in that dress Darling~" he whispered into my ear. Using one of his hands, he placed it on my inner thigh. I felt uncomfortable. A whole crowd was watching this. Just to make things worse, Affogato decided he had an "Important" announcement to make to the public. "Everyone! Meet my soon-to-be wife/husband/partner, Y/N!". 

Embarrassment flooded my soul as the crowd started cheering. A few people gave me glares and others rolled their eyes. Some felt sorry for me as they saw how uncomfortable I was. I was about to announce to everyone I didn't like him but then I remembered; I had to play it innocent...

Affogato leaned closer and kissed my cheek. He grabbed a glass from one of his servants, giving them these looks. I felt sorry for them. Affogato took a sip and grinned to himself: he had something planned, and I doubt it'll be something good...
