      You had to admit it, the past few weeks had been very interesting and kind of emotionally draining. You had found out that you had died from the plague and that Asra had given you half his heart to bring you back. You found out that Julian almost died of the plague but he survived, and you found out that count Lucio was back. Yes, that's right, the count is back from the dead, it was a surprise to everyone.

      There were a lot of people who were happy that the count was back, but there were a lot of people who weren't happy to see him. Were you happy he's back? Well, you never got to meet Lucio, so you didn't really have an opinion on him, well that is until you actually met him. He was narcissistic, loud, and flamboyant, so to put it gently, you didn't like him all that much.

      You spent most of your time trying to avoid Lucio, and most of the time you did just that; however, today was different. Lucio was doing everything in his power to get you to talk to him. Why? Well, Lucio was thinking about you, you were one of the only people he could stand to be around. Lucio thought you were very attractive and had a great personality, but he never got to tell you this because you were always trying to avoid him.

      It was the middle of the day and you were sitting outside by the fountain, enjoying the peace and quiet. You ran your hand through the water, while looking at the ripples it made. You were too busy watching the water that you didn't hear the footsteps that were coming towards you. Behind you, Lucio was standing holding a rose, he was trying to be quiet as not to disturb you. Soon he sat down next to you, startling you. You turned to see who it was and saw Lucio. You were about to stand up and leave, but before you could Lucio grabbed your hand.

      "Y/n, please stay." Lucio said. You found it extremely odd that Lucio of all people had said please, so you sat back down.

      "What do you want Lucio." You said as you looked at the floor trying to avoid making eye contact with him.

      "I wanted to talk to you. Is that okay?" He asked. You nodded in response.

      "Y/n, I know you don't like me all that much, But I like you . You're the only person in this damn place I can actually stand being around. Asra wants to kill me half the time, Portia doesn't like me, and god knows Nadia doesn't, And Jules? Well he's Julian." He said while holding that flower a little tighter and taking a deep breath.

      "Y/n, I think you are beautiful, and you have an amazing personality." Lucio stopped talking and looked at you. You were looking at him in shock. He moved a piece of your hair behind your ear then placed the flower there.

      "I thought you only found yourself attractive?" you said as you smirked a little. He laughed.

      "Well you're an exception." He smiled at you and you smiled back.

      "So Y/n, will you give me a chance to show you how I feel?" He said as he looked at you hopefully.

      "Sure, but you've only got today." He smiled and stood up. He offered you his hand to help you up, you took it and stood up.

      "Well than, we'd better get going." you smiled and the two of you walked into the palace.
