Mystery Love

Chapter 8

Nagisa pov
I was in my office when I heard the door open.
I looked up and saw Kayano by the door
She smiled
"It's been a while Nagisa"
I smiled back while still working on paperwork
"How have you been"
She sat down on one of the couches
"You know Nagisa, ever since you became Queen...the Blue Kingdom hasn't been the same
"What do you mean?" I set a pile of papers down not bothering to look up
"This kingdom was so lively before and full of energy"
I glared
"Are you trying to say I'm not looking after my Kingdom?"
"No! What I'm trying to say is you should throw another ball"
I lifted an eyebrow
"Have a ball and invite all the kingdoms. There has been so much tension between all of us"
"..."
"Please Nagisa. This would be something the previous King and Queen wouldn't refuse"

I sighed
"Alright"
I smiled at my friend
She smiled back and hugged me
"I'll wait for your invitation!"
She walked out and I was left all alone

I looked to my side where there was a portrait of my parents
"Mom...Dad..."

3 days later
Karma pov
As always I was sulking in my chamber, upset at the fact that the only women I had my eyes on forgot about me.

Knock Knock
"Come in"
A servant entered
"Your Majesty, you have an invitation from the Blue Kingdom"
"!?"
I got up from my bed and took the invitation from the tray
"You could go"
He bowed and left
I opened the letter and read it

"Maybe..."
I walked up to my desk and opened the drawer.
Inside was the mask of Nagisa. The mask that she left.
I smirked
"I look forward to the ball"

No one pov
It was the day of the ball
There were more guards and Asano stood by Nagisa the whole time.
Many people from different kingdoms came
"Nagisa!"
Nagisa turned around and was hugged from Kayano
"I'm glad you came"
"No, I'm glad you listened to me, but what's with all the guards?"
"Last time my parents were killed, I'm won't let that happen again. Right Asano"
He bowed
"My men are watching every corner"
"I see. Hey Nagisa!"
"Yes?"
"Are you going to find your King this time?"
She smiled
"I already have one"
Both Asano and Kayano looked surprised
"Already! Who!?" Kayano asked
"Huh? Who was it?" She asked herself softly and looked down

Why did she say that?
She never found her King...or did she?

She kept thinking back to the day of the ball 3 years ago.
She was sitting with someone.
That person grabbed her hand.
She traced their face with her fingers, but she couldn't see their face that clearly.
Everything was fuzzy.

"How about you greet your guests"
Asano interrupted her thought
"Y Yeah, I'll see you later Kayano"
"Huh? But you never told me!? Who's the King!?"
It was too late though, they had already walked off

Everyone had already arrived and were having fun.
Many were chatting while others were having a sip of wine, while others were dancing
Nagisa stayed seated in her throne having noble men come up to her and introduce their sons.

"Your highness?" Asano looked at Nagisa and noticed the look of unease on her face
"If you see anything out of the ordinary send your men" she told Asano
"Do you think the people who killed your parents will come again?" He asked
"It's a possibility"

Everything was going well until the doors opened and a tall man with red hair wearing a mask entered.
Everyone went silent when they saw who it was
The King from the Red Kingdom
