The Devil's Angel - Chrollo Lucilfer x Reader

Chapter 6

(y/n)'s POV:

Chrollo is right. I have no other choice. I must take part in his plan if I want to stay alive. He would definitely kill me without hesitation.

And here I was. Standing in my bedroom in front of the mirror, my assissant Akari helping me with everything.

I was wearing an elegant one part dress that reached past my mid-thighs, matching it with a pretty pair of heels. Since I knew what Chrollo was planning and that I might get in trouble, I tied my hair up in a ponytail so it wouldn't be in the way.

"You seem anxious ma'am." Akari spoke behind me.

In the meantime I was watching myself in the mirror, the gears in my brain working. I've been thinking about the possible outcomes that awaited me. The mere thought of being caught made me scared. And if the authorities will find out that I'm helping the spiders, everything my parents and I built up will demolish in seconds. Jail is not the only thing I should be worried about. They might execute me without batting an eye and people wouldn't even care.

So, of course I am anxious Akari...

"I'm just nervous." I smiled at her through the mirror. "It's going to be a pretty big event, you know."

"Yes." She nodded. "Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?"

No, because you might get killed...

I turned around to face her. "I'm sure. It's not necessary. I think I will be able to handle things on my own. Don't you worry about that. You deserve some rest as well." I told her.

She bowed down respectfully. "Thank you ma'am. I really appreciate your kindness."

Let's just pray I won't get into trouble. If she came, I might pull her in my own shit and I didn't want that. She didn't deserve that. So if I will get caught, she will be free and won't be under suspicion. She won't be accusated with taking part in this crime.

"The car is prepared for you by the way. Do you wish to leave now or you need some more time? The event starts in less than an hour." She informed me.

"I have to get my jacket and purse and I'm ready to go. Please tell the driver that I will be outside in a few minutes."

"Right away ma'am." She left the room, taking her phone out of her pocket.

For one last time I glanced at myself in the mirror, then grabbed what I needed, soon heading outside to sit inside the car.

The driver greeted me. "Good evening miss (l/n). Pardon me for my boldness, but you look beautiful tonight."

I let out a small giggle, genuinely touched by his compliment. Usually he would stay silent and only speak to me when it's really necessary. "It's fine. Thank you."

He drove off and I stared out of the tinted windows during the ride since I had nothing better to do. My mind couldn't stop thinking. My hands were slightly trembling from the fear I felt, because I didn't know what to expect during today's evening. I was scared of everything. I was afraid I would fuck this whole shit up, get busted or even worse... End up dead.

Finally arriving at the right adress, the driver quickly hopped out of the car to open the door for me, so I stepped out, mumbling a small thanks.

I stood in line and waited, playing with the small invitation card I got the other day. From the corner of my eyes I was looking for Chrollo. Is he already inside? Or is he late?

Nevertheless I let a few people in front of me to stand in line, because I didn't know where the leader of the troupes is.

However soon I had no other choice and it was my turn.
