"Y/N, are you ready?"

I nod. Alisa holds out her hand for me to take.

"Let's go then."

We head off to the shops in the plaza. I can't help but think back to the times where I'd visit there with Elise.

"Y/N, is there anything you want?"

"Huh? No, not really..."

"You seem deep in thought."

I shake my head.

"It's nothing."

We head on.

"Y/N, do you know why I asked you out today?"

"No... why did you?"

"Today is a special day..."

"Is it?"

She nods.

"It's the day I first..."

"Y/N! You're here too?"

Ah, it's B/N and Prince Leonas...

"What are you two doing here?"

B/N chuckles.

"We're shopping around. Are we disrupting your date?"

"What.. no way. It's just a friendly outing"

"Yeah sure.."

He says giving us a knowing look.

As the left, I looked back at Alisa.

"What were you going to say, Alisa?"

"Hm? Oh, it's nothing important."

"It's the day I first..."

The day I first fell for you.

Gazing at her back as she turned towards the two men.

I clench my fist tightly, it's taking too long for me to confess...

When I first fell for her, it was way before that day...

Back then, I met her in the city. She never told me her name, but I could recognise that face...

I didn't notice it sooner, but I know her.

When I saw another noble cling to her side... I thought...

Ah, that should've been me...

When I met her again at the party, i snuck in there knowing she'd be with that same noble again...

I hoped to learn her name.

When I did, I'd say it everyday.

Y/N L/N, it had such a nice ring to it.

Someday I hoped that I she would answer for my callings.

I clung to her. I found out how she was destined to die before we could get into the academy.

I stopped it. I'd save her so she didn't meet her doom.

All this while, she probably didn't notice...

And then...

"N/N... I love you..."

"I love you too, Elise."

I hid away.

When were they together? I looked down at the charm I'd gotten her.

She would've survived even if I didn't protect her.

I'll save the villainess! (GL)Where stories live. Discover now
