Mystery Love

Chapter 4

Nagisa pov
We sat down on a bench on the balcony and began talking.
I never mentioned my position as princess to him and I felt like he cared and listened

With each passing hour I was falling more and more in love with him.
I don't care what he looked like under the mask and I don't care about his position as king. I loved him for him
He was kind
"I never did ask for your name did I?"
"Oh. Y You didn't..."
I don't know why I started to feel scared.
Is it because I don't want him to find out about me being the princess?
But that won't be a bad thing? Right?
After all he is a king
"Nagisa.."
My hands were wrapped around his warm ones
"I didn't know this whole time, but I felt myself falling in love with you"
I smiled
"I feel the same"
"But.."
I saw him frown
"Would you still love me, without this mask?"
"Of course"
"You're not just saying that"
"No, I mean it"
"..."
He looked the other direction
"Karma..."
I called his name which he told me when we were chatting
"I know!"
He looked at me
"How about we both take off our masks"
"...S Sure.."
I grabbed the string to his mask and he grabbed the string to mine
"On the count of 3" I told him

We pulled the string and let the masks fall
I opened my eyes and looked up

"Pretty" I mumbled to myself
"Eh?"
I traced his face with my fingers
His mercury eyes caught my attention
He quickly looked down
"Don't look too much"
"Eh? Why?"
"My face. It's...ugly"
"..."
After a while he looked up with a smile
"But, you're beautiful"
I cupped his cheeks
"You are to!"
"Eh?"
"Don't listen to what anyone tells you! You're beautiful! No You're handsome!" I yelled
"..."
He pulled me into an embrace
"Thank you"
I smiled and hugged him back

We sat in each other arms looking at the stars when
"AAAAHHH!!!"
We separated and saw everyone yelling and running
"Your Highness!"
"Princess! Where are you!?"
"Over here!" I called out
"Princess?" I saw Karma turn his head and look at me
"Princess!" My maid came running over to us
"You must leave Now!"
"The King and Queen have been killed!"
"What!!?""
My heart stopped
She must be joking
I ran as fast as I could and went inside
"Princess!"
In the corner of my eye I saw Karma and the maid begin to chase me
I took a turn and my eyes widened at what I saw
My parents body's in a pile of blood
I fell to my knees
"N Nooo!"
"Princess! You must leave!"
A while crowd of people who were still trying to rush to the exit began to drag me away.

I was now outside at the top of the stairs trying to find Karma
I spotted him putting his mask back on
"Karma!!" I yelled
He turned around, but then someone bumped into me and before I knew it I was falling down the steps
"Princess!"
"Princess!"
"Someone help!"
My vision was turning black as I felt the warmth of my blood surround me
