Night watcher, I am Chloe Bourgeois! || Miraculous Ladybug

8: Departure (3)

. . . I need to talk to Daddy soon.

Soon after, I went to a balcony to get a little rest from all the noise and to get my mind to relax before I entered that place again. After all, I have to be there for as long as Daddy is there.

I sighad on the thought.

"Hey, miss!"

I felt a little hand grabbing my leg.

Hm?

I turned around and noticed a little girl standing there. She was beaming with excitement for some reason.

"You are Miss Queen Bee, right?"

". . .Why are you asking that, kid?"

"You are, right?"

I was kind of annoyed by her question 'cuz the Bee Miraculous now belongs to someone else.

. . . Oh right, I now remember, that someone is in fact Zoe, my half-sister.

"Hey, kid. I 𝘸𝘢𝘴 Queen Bee. Not anymore."

"No! That's not true! You are Queen Bee!"

"What are you up to? That power now belongs to Vesperia. Everybody knows that."

"Vesperia can't replace Queen Bee! My hero is Queen Bee!"

What?

Was there anyone who liked me or Queen Bee in the show?

"And why is that?" I sit down on my knees to match her level.

"Because it was Queen Bee that saved me that day not Vesperia. You are my hero since then!"

I was taken a back.

"I —"

That was the first time in a long while someone thanked me for being Queen Bee.

"When did I save you?"

"That day, I was out on my own without telling mommy or daddy but then I was suddenly attacked by some villain and then you came and rescued me!"

"Really?"

That seriously caught me off guard. I don't remember anything like that.

"You know. When I heard that you would be at the party I begged my parents to take me with them! And now finally! Finally! I got to meet you! I am so happy!"

"Is that so?"

In this horrendous party, I was really worn out but to think something so small as this kid can cheer me up in an instant.

I am suddenly feeling light.

"Miss Queen bee! I have this! I wanted to give you this!"

And then she takes a bee keychain from her bag.

"What is that?"

"This! This is a handmade superhero charm! I made this for my hero! For you!"

By her sincere charm and thankfulness, I hesitated. It didn't feel right to take something that much valuable from her.

"I can't take it."

"You can't?" She made a sad face.

But it is really too much on my shoulders. I am not worthy of something like that.

"Ah! If you can't take it how about you take it as a charm for yourself!?"

"Ah. . ."

"I mean! How about you take it as a charm that proves that you are Queen Bee!?"
