Nothing to blame ~ Wriothesley x Reader

Drenched wet

Once the show ended, crowds of people began walking out of the Opera Epiclese, including you and Lucas. "My lady we should get you home immediately." Lucas tried pulling you out of the crowd.

"Wow.. hold your horses." You heard an unfamiliar voice behind you. You turned around to face the source of that voice. "I'm afraid you dropped something." The man held out your wallet, which was slightly suspicious. You don't remember dropping it. As you looked deeper into his eyes, you couldn't help but realize how weirdly shaped his pupil was. It was somehow star-shaped, but you weren't sure if you were imagining it or not.

It's not as if you would've noticed it anyway. "Oh.. thank you." You smiled awkwardly at the man as you took your wallet out of his hands.

"Anything for a pretty lady like you." The man took your hand in his and placed a gentle kiss on your knuckles. Meanwhile Lucas behind you, gave the man one of the hugest side eyes in the world.

"May I know the lady's name?" He smirked at you. You didn't want anything to do with this man, all you wanted to do was to go home.

"Y/N L/N.." you said with slight uncomfortableness in your eyes. "It's a great pleasure to meet you miss L/N, I'm Alexandre.. but you can also call me Alex." he winked with that same smirk on his face.

"I'm sorry Ale.. I don't know what, but we have to go." Lucas broke the conversation short. Was it even a conversation to you? Probably not. "Oh I apologize, I didn't mean to keep the lady waiting." He smiled at Lucas innocently.

You were afraid that he was hiding something. He seemed like a gentleman but he was worse than Lucas... and Lucas's use of words are also not the best.

"Here's my address.. in case you want go out on a date or something similar." Alex handed you a small note with his address on it. "You can always send me a letter when you're bored.. I don't mind." Alex gave you one of his sincerest smiles.

You took the note off his hands "thanks." You tried to sound nice, but in true honesty.. you weren't interested in him.

Alex took your hand in his and continued to smile at you "I wish you a Bon Voyage." He kissed your knuckles again. This guy was really too much for you. "Thanks.. you too." Your face was slowly cramping up for smiling too long. All you wanted to do was appear kind even though you weren't interested in people like him.

As you were on your way again, you finally got to relax your face muscles. "I notice that you're not a fond of him." Lucas noticed the way you dropped your whole act. "Yup, he was hard to handle." You had a tired look on your face as you spoke. "Take my jacket, I can see you shivering." Lucas gently placed his jacket on your shoulders.

"That trick with Y/N was fascinating, right?" Sigewinne blinked at Wriothesley with her huge doll eyes. She couldn't stop talking about the tricks.. well she did have an act to play.

"It did seem interesting.. I wonder how that former prisoner of mine pulled that off." Wriothesley looked down at Sigewinne as he told her his personal opinion about the show.

As they continued to walk, Wriothesley noticed that same dress of yours from a far. Sigewinne noticed how his eyes wandered to somewhere else. They both stopped in their tracks as they both saw that same woman they were talking about.
