Stargazing【Zane X Reader】[ Ongoing ]

[ Chapter 54 ]

Y/n's pov.  

" Try not to make it obvious " I said and Riley make my hairstyle in a half up half down.

She made a bun and put my hairpin in diagonally.

" You look better than last night, I don't think she'll notice " she said and adjust my armor on my shoulder.

It's sort off heavy and I guess it's because I'm weak, we're just a few minutes away from our harbour and I just finished breakfast.

" I'm done " she said and I nodded.

" Thanks " I said then walk out of this folding screen.

I approach a table and pick up the hand held mirror, seeing my reflection how I'm slightly pale but I don't think it's that obvious. Putting it down I leave this room and went outside as I feel the breeze already hitting me into he face. I'm not shivering like last night so that tells me all of it has passed, walking towards the bow of the ship. I can see the port from here as well as figures standing by, I already know which one is mom.

" Are feeling better? " I was slightly startled then turn my head to my right to see Zane.

I smile at him as he smile back since he has his mask down and just hanging around his neck.

" I am, thank you " I said and we look back to the front.

" Have you prepared your ears? " I asked, he chuckles.

" I already have some from my father, my mother would be angry but probably less " he said, I chuckle too and see his hand on the railing.

" Last night. . . . "

" I'm sorry " I said.

" For what? " He asked.

" For bringing you all into this, and for seeing what I did to Luca " I said as I stare at my palm.

" It's not something you should apologize about " he said, I turn to him in confusion as he look at me.

" It's yours to control, it shows you your true potention to be a leader " he said.

" Your just saying that to make me feel better " I said, he smiles again.

" And it's working " I slightly flinched when he brush his finger under my chin quickly.

I don't know why but it made me blushed then turn around away from the view, I couldn't help but smile and hold my chin where he touched.

" See?, Your smiling " he said.

" Shut up " I said and giggle.

Then my eyes avert up to the upper deck where the helm is, there gramps is standing with the queen, both are in deep conversation but I can see gramps' eyes glanced this way for a second. And just at the end to the right where the stairs, I see EIi and Olivia talking but Ein's facing this way while Olivia's looking at the ocean.

" Their watching us " I said as I turn back around to view the port again.

" Let them " Zane said as he pull up his mask.

I furrow my eyebrows then look at him.

" It'll start a drama " I said.

" Hasn't it already when you told me about the engagement? " He asked.

" Zane-. . . "

" I don't care " he turns to me.

" When we get off this ship, we have a week and a half left before the royal ball and it'll be made public " I said.
