The Arcana One Shots( Request are: OPEN)

Wine Buddies (Valerius xreader)

Part three

Y/n's pov

I wake up as I stretch. I look out of the window and see a blue sky.  The memory of the strange man comes back to me as I slowly awaken. I look around the room as I notice a little note on my night stand. I pick it up and examine it, turning it over. I unfold the gentle leaves of paper. I recognize Lucio hand writing. The note reads " Y/n,  I have a special outfit for you in the closet for tonight  at the masquerade. I hope you like. My other courtier arrived last night, by the way. I can't wait for you to meet him. I'll be busy getting everything ready for tonight. But if you need anything, you know my courtiers and  Portia. See you tonight.". I finish reading and put the note down. I stand up and walk over to the closet. When I open the doors, I see a gorgeous f/c dress/shirt and pants with flowing fabric that reminded me of clouds when I touch it. I close the doors, smiling at myself. I change into some clean clothes.I open the door as I walk out and glance out the door. I  walk out and go towards the ballroom. When I reach the door. I see Lucio yelling at people in a beautiful room. Gold wraps covered the walls. The whole room glittered with excitement. I walk in and walk over to him as the servants hurry away. I wave at him as he notices me. "Jesus , Y/n. I swear, no one understands how to decorate." Lucio says, rolling his eyes. I laugh. " It looks amazing. You've done a great job." I say.  " Thanks." he says, standing up a little taller, " Valerius arrived last night. ". " You're other courtier? I know. Last night, I saw his arrival but didn't see him. " I admit. " Do you want to go and meet him now?" Lucio asks. " Nah. I'll meet him at the masquerade. " I say, shrugging. He nods and waves to me. " I'm going to get back to decorating. " He says. I nod and walk back out. I sigh and continue walking down the hallway. I feel a hand on my shoulder. I turn around to see the spunky red headed gal with the tall ginger. " Portia! And Julian, right?" I say with a grin. Julian nods and grins at me. " We saw you walking around and wanted to see if you wanted to hang out." Portia asks. I nod, accepting her invite. She loops her arm through mine and starts walking towards the door, Julian lanking behind us. We walk down the long path and into town. We walk around the market area looking at all of the strange items and delicious smelling food. As we twiddle the day away, the sun slowly disappears behind the landscape. I look up at the sky beginning to darken as we make our way back towards the palace. I look at the marine animals that twirl in the water. " Y/n!" Portia calls out at me.I snap out of my trance as I run to catch up with Julian and Portia. " we have like an hour and a half I think. Is that enough time?" Julian asks. I nod and wave to them as I walk towards my room." Thanks again!" I say. I walk into the room and flop down on my bed. " And so the waiting begins." I huff. 

Time skip brought to you by Valerius introducing Y/n to wine for the first time and them getting buzzed and really blushy

I look outside and realize I fell asleep. I look over at the door and see Portia through the crack of the door. " You ready?" she asks. I groan as I stretch. " I'll take that as a no." She says, " Do you want help?". I nod. She walks over and hands me the outfit from the closet. I thank her and change into it real fast. ( The next part is for like long hair. So if you don't have it just skip those parts please. Loaf ya <3) . She walks over and starts brushing my hair. She puts my hair up. " Thank you. It looks beautiful." I say. She smiles and walks over to the door. " I'll see you soon. Unless you want me to walk you there." she asks. " Thanks but I'll walk myself. " I say with a smile.  She nods and leaves my room, closing the door. I walk over to my bathing chamber as I look in the mirror. The outfit fit my body in a manner where it complimented my shape. I smile as I look in the mirror, turning to see myself. I walk out of my room and smile as I slowly walk down the hall. With calm and collected breaths, I open the door to the masquerade.
