Your only one

Tears in the rain

Tears in the rain- The Weeknd

Lizzie's POV.

It's been two weeks now since she told me she loves me. We haven't talked about it in fact we don't see each other much, the only time we see each other is when we go to sleep, I sleep with her in her room, she never asked me to do it but I know it helps her sleep completely relaxed all night.

She has become more and more harsh, her eyes look more and more empty, the search for who was to blame for her father's death is becoming more intensive, making the stress in the palace even more present.

She has become cruel as time has gone by and the sad thing is that I have barely noticed this as I watch her sitting across from me, eating breakfast.

"What do you want Mario?" She tells one of her guards.
"It's pretty important stuff" the man replies.
"You better because you're interrupting my breakfast" Y/n replies.
"Well Miss Salvatore...I'm here with this impostor" Mario side pointing to the man he is holding by his collar.
"Go on" she says waving her hand for him to do as ordered.
"I overheard him talking on the phone to someone about Mr. Salvatore's death" Mario says getting the full Y/n tension.

she lifted her gaze from her plate of food and stared at the two men, she picked up her glass of mimosa and took a sip, on her face there was no expression.

"and what exactly did you hear?" Y/n says in a calm voice.

the tension in the room could be felt, I could cut it with a knife, Y/n's eyes darkened but it seems only I noticed.

"I heard him say that the mission to exterminate Salvatore had been a complete success" Mario says sure of what I hear.
"no, that's not true I never said that" the other man denies with fear visible in his eyes.
"don't you dare call me a liar you fucking phony, I know what I heard, you're a fucking traitor" Mario says furious squeezing the man's neck even tighter.
"Mario that's enough, let the man speak" Y/n says.
"But..."
"I said that's enough Mario" Y/n says firm but still calm.

It's quite rare how calm she is for the situation we are in.

Mario loosens his grip on the man's neck just a little.

"thank you for letting me explain" the man says with his voice shaking.
"of course my friend, tell me do you want a mimosa?" She asks him.

This is all too strange, I can't understand or read her behavior.

"yes, a mimosa would be nice" the man replies.

she poured him a drink and extended it to him giving him a smile.

The man took a sip, his nerves were evident, I could see the sweat pouring down his face.

"so explain this misunderstanding to me, if you would be so kind" Y/n says calmly as she takes a sip of her mimosa.
"You have to believe me, I never said that, I was talking to my mom, I was telling her how much I miss her and that I was hoping I could talk to you to see if it was possible for you to let me go see her this weekend" the man says.
"so what you are saying is that Mario here is lying to me?" She asks him.
"Yes" he answers quickly.
"well but I don't see the point of Mario lying to me with something like that."
"Because I'm not lying" Mario interrupts.
"okay this conversation has bored me enough, Mario take him to the room, I'll have a conversation with him after my breakfast".
"NO, NO PLEASE PLEASE I'M PLEADING YOU" the man screams desperate for help.

The man's reaction made me think of a thousand things at once, what will happen in that room? Why does he look so scared? I mean Y/n she wouldn't do something that bad, would she? I mean she wouldn't kill him would she?
