Nothing to blame ~ Wriothesley x Reader

Trouble or troubled?

"My lady I think it would be smart if you take a warm shower to prevent a cold." Lucas started to get concerned by your sudden pale appearance. "I think it's too late, I can already feel myself shivering." You sat down on the couch with an exhausted expression.

Lucas had to force you off the couch so that you could take a shower. The couch was now soaking wet because of you. As you entered the bathroom you slowly started to peel your clothes off your body. You still felt that uncomfortable sensation of your clothes being stuck to your skin.

You breathed in the steam as you took a warm shower. That magic show was quite an experience for you. But that Alexandre is giving you the creeps. The way he smirked gave you goosebumps. You quickly hurried out of the shower and got dressed.

"My lady, I've never seen you showered so quickly. Are you going somewhere?" Lucas watched you as you put your heels on. "I just need some fresh air." You explained yourself.

"Should I come with you?" Lucas offered. You shook your head with a smile in your face. "No it's okay, you should rest Lucas" and just like that you left the house.

"I guess this plan was a success!" Navia cheered and raised her tea in the air. "Cheers to the future of Y/N and Wriothesley!" Navia yelled across her headquarters. Sigewinne had a bright smile on her face as she raised her tea. Clorinde being Clorinde only plastered a small smile on her face as she raised her tea slightly.

"Let's hope it'll run smoothly now." Clorinde said as she took a sip of her tea. Navia nodded as she took a bite of her croissant. "Once the duke will get less grumpy it'll be smooth sailing from now on." Sigewinne giggled.

"By the way Navia, did you hire that guy to flirt with Y/N? That was quite a smart move! The duke nearly exploded out of anger! I bet he'll confess to her in no time when theres men gawking at her." Sigewinne complemented her tactics.

Navia raised one of her eyebrows in confusion "which guy? I haven't hired anybody." Sigewinne also had a confused look on her face "wait.. you didn't hire anybody? I saw the way he gave her his address."

"Welp looks like we have a side quest to deal with." Clorinde shrugged her shoulders with no concern. Compared to Navia, she felt distressed. "Sigewinne.. can you tell me how that guy looked like.."

"He had a sleek hairstyle, a sly smirk on his face and a fancy suit." Sigewinne described to her. "Why is it so important? Yeah Y/N got hit on but that doesn't mean he can be dangerous or something." Clorinde casually takes a sip of her tea. "He still sounds like a suspicious looking man." Navia explained to Clorinde.

"I think I will go visit her this evening to ask her about it." Navia said with a serious look on her face. "Keep us updated then." Sigewinne finishes her last sip of tea. "Well it's already past 5pm now, better go now than never." Clorinde looked at her pocket watch.

"Okay then, I'll take my leave. The same time tomorrow?" Navia stood up from her chair. The champion duelist and Head nurse nodded in sync. "Bye bye!" Navia said before running off.

„How's it going on your side, Agent 62?" the phone might be old and rusty but that didn't mean you couldn't hear anything from the other side. His cold words sounded clear as day yet fuzzy at the same time.

"It's going all according to plan." He replied to the man's words. He had a neutral smile on his face as he fixated his tie. "Good.. which means his sacrifice wasn't for nothing."

"Has the doctor been working on it?" he asked as he scratched the back of his neck. "He's still experimenting on himself first. You know.. the typical stuff." His replies sounded colder than ever.

"Yeah.. I know what you mean. I should better get going.." he had a tired look on his face. "You better watch that pretty lady.. see you around Agent 62." Now he could only hear a strange buzzing from the other side. " See you around Agent 59." He mumbled to himself as he placed the phone back on the table.

The sun started to set as he walked out of the hotel. The reds in the sky started to show. He pulled a lighter out of his pocket to light his cigarette, which was already placed in his mouth.

After taking a few deep breaths he suddenly saw a familiar woman passing by. "Well an order is an order.." he quickly extinguished his cigarette before following the woman.

Navia was already standing in front of the door. Before she could knock, Lucas had already opened door. "Oh Demoiselle! You scared the heavens out of me!" Lucas shrieked. "My apologies Lucas.. is Y/N home?" Navia couldn't help but feel concerned about her after hearing there was a strange man who talked to her.

"No, she just took a walk 20 minutes ago." Lucas said making Navia's eye twitch. "Is there something the matter Demoiselle?" Lucas also started to feel worried after seeing how Navia is behaving.

"One last question.. do you know the man who talked to her after Lyney's Magic Show?" Lucas had to think before answering "what was his name again.. Ale.. Ale.. Alexandre! That's his name. According to him my lady has dropped her wallet. He acted quite strange as well if I remember correctly." Lucas explained.

"Thank you so much, I'll be taking my leave!" As she ran again and took a sharp turn, she accidentally bumped into a man. He reeked like smoke and cologne at the same time. It was a comforting scent but yet also somehow you have to be cautious about it.

"Wow, I didn't expect to see the one and only boss of the Spina de Rosula here, without her bodyguards as well." The man recognized her immediately. His build was towering over her which made her slightly uncomfortable. "Who are you... and what's your business here?" Navia started to question him.

"Hold your horses. One question at a time. I'm Maxime, I work with the Adventurers guild. You probably heard of the Traveller right?" he didn't look particularly from the Adventurers guild, but by hearing his voice you could actually believe him.

"The Traveler is my partner.. yes." She said making him raise an eyebrow. "W-Wow.. impressive." He smirked at her. "I believe you've heard of Y/N L/N as well?" Navia tried to maintain distance with him. He acted really strange and his appearance wasn't helping either.

dark hair, sleek hairstyle, sly smirk, dark pair of gloves and a suit... why did it all seem familiar..

"He had a sleek hairstyle, a sly smirk on his face and a fancy suit."

It all matched Sigewinne's description of Alexandre..

"And I believe you know a certain Alexandre.." Navia said. She expected him to freak out that she found out his identity but somehow he still maintained his composure. "I know a lot of people.." he kept his sly smirk on his face.

"I even know the daughter of that miss L/N.." Navia's eyes widen at his words. "Please forward my message to her: come to the address." And just like that He left Navia in the alley way. Before Navia could process what he said, he was long gone.

The only thing Navia knew, is that his real name wasn't Maxime nor Alexandre and that he was big trouble.

Here's your daily dose of tea ;) I hope you've enjoyed the chapter. I'll probably post next week again due to the exams. Please leave a vote if you enjoyed it, I would appreciate it <3
