The Unwilling Protagonist

Chapter 36: Assault on the Tower

Y/N woke up to the feeling of sunlight on his face. As he opened his eyes, and his senses returned to him, he felt something laying on his chest. He looked down and smiled warmly. Charlotte was laying on top of him, her bare body lying on his. Y/N was happy that what happened last night wasn't just some fleeting dream.

As Y/N caressed Charlotte's smooth skin, she woke up and looked up at him.

"Good morning." Y/N said.

"Good morning." Charlotte replied with a smile.

The two of them exchanged a quick kiss before they cuddled together for a little bit.

"Y/N...I want to know..." Charlotte said, "Why, out of everyone, did you pick me...?"

"Well...you're pretty, you're cute, you're pretty cute..." Y/N couldn't get enough of feeling Charlotte's skin.

"But I'm not skilled like Sister Miriam, I'm not confident like the Mistress, and I'm not special like Kara..."

"I don't care about your skills or talents. I care about you, and just you." Y/N held Charlotte's face in his hands and they kissed again...

***

Y/N peeked out of the door first. The hallway was empty, thankfully. He and Charlotte had hastily dressed themselves so that everyone else wouldn't wonder where they were.

"Ok, I'll go first, and you wait a little bit before coming down." Y/N said. Charlotte nodded her head in response.

Y/N took one step out of his room, then the door next to him opened up and Miriam, Reighland, and Kara walked out and stared at him.

"I hoped you slept well, Y/N." Reighland said.

Charlotte peeked her head out of the door.

"Hmm, I was wondering where Charlotte was last night..." Reighland continued. She proceeded to walk down the stairs after that. Y/N stared awkwardly at Miriam and Kara.

"So...um...how did you sleep...?" Y/N asked.

Miriam walked away with a huff. Kara looked at Y/N with a hint of disappointment.

"You could've invited me too..." She grumbled.

What? Y/N was confused at her remark.

Opening Theme:

Breakfast was quiet for the most part. Miriam gave off an aura of tension as she next to Reighland and silently glared at Y/N, Charlotte, and Kara. Y/N and Charlotte were unnerved by the situation, but Kara's advances toward Y/N got more aggressive.

"Here, Y/N. You need to eat..." Kara held a cherry to Y/N's lips, much to his discomfort.

"Kara, I'm fine, you can eat that..." Y/N replied.

Kara suddenly radiated a discomforting aura as well and she shoved the cherry in Y/N's mouth. Reighland watched the situation with indifference as she ate. Eating was not a requirement for her either, but like sleeping, she did it because it felt nice. The affairs of Y/N's personal life didn't concern her, not while her end goal was so close...Still, the tension she felt from everyone at the table could prove to be a problem...

"Miriam. Outside." Reighland said sternly as she stood up. Miriam followed her while Kara continued force-feeding Y/N with Charlotte trying to stop her.

Once outside, Miriam and Reighland started talking.

"Alright, out with it; you're clearly irritated about something..." Reighland spoke.
