Mercanary days (Lucio xfem! reader)

Part four

Y/n's pov

Montag gives me a strange look as I approach him. "Got our paycheck," I say. He continues giving me a weird look but lets it slide. " I thought we were parting today." The girl says. "Please don't kill us! " The boy says. "We won't kill you. We have to get you guys out of here. Do you have any family? " I ask. " Yeah. We have a grandma. She lives far away though. " The boy says. " Fantastic! " Lucio says. I smile at him. " Why are your faces still covered?" The girl asks. "To stay secret," I say to her, bringing the horse to a trot. " But isn't it uncomfortable? And since we're going to be together for a while? " The boy asks. I look over at Lucio with suspicion. " It's up to you," I say. "Do you swear to not turn us in?" He asks. The two kids nod. Lucio takes the fabric off his face and I do the same. "That's so much better," Lucio says. I nod. "We might want to pick up the pace. " I say. I hit my heel against the horse's side. The horse begins to speed up as Montag does the same. "Where does your grandma live?" Monty asks. " Where we lived, it took about a day to get there. In that direction. " The boy says, pointing to the west. I look at Monty. " You ready?" I ask. " Yep!" He says, picking up the pace. I follow behind him.

We finally make it into a town. "This is where she lives." The girl breaks the silence. "Okay. What house is hers?" Monty asks. The boy points to a hut. We nod and ride up to the house. " There you go," I say, putting the girl down. " Thank you." She says, running over to the boy. " Come on, Ilya. " The girl says, pulling the boy into the house. ( I know that's not what happened but I thought it'd be cool to give Julian a reason to hate him more than the plague.) Montag smiles at me as I smile back. " That's over now," I say. "We're a great team," Lucio says. "That's true," I say. I tap my heel against my horse and we start trotting off. We approach an inn and decide to stay the night. "One room?" The innkeeper asks. Lucio nods. I walk around the small room looking at the people around. Lucio approaches me. "Ready to go?" He asks. I smile. "Sure," I answer. Montag walks down the long hallway and unlocks the door. The bed in the center covered in silk sheets. The rug soft underneath my feet. I flop down on the bed. My eyes flutter closed as I slowly doze off. I feel arms wrap around my waist as I gasp in response. "It's ok," Lucio says. My heartbeat slowly drops from the shock as I calm down. "I want to stay like this forever," Montag says as I curl my body into his. My eyes close again. "I really like you, Y/n," Lucio whispers, a few minutes later, thinking I was asleep. I smile as we both fall asleep in the silken sheets.

Montag slices the throat of the fiancee of a woman named Nadia. I pout in a corner as he looks over. "It's for the best. All I need to do is take some clothes from him and then marry the countess. We'll get Vensuvia then! " Lucio says, walking over. " Ok. It won't bother me. " I say, turning away from him. " Wait, are you jealous? " Lucio ask. I blush and walk towards the door. " I'll be back," I say. I walk out the door. I grab my water pack and take a swig. 'Why does he have to marry her?' I think to myself, ' We promised to only marry for love. '. I sit on the ground against the wall. "Y/n. I'm doing this for the best. Trust me. We can even kill Nadia after I marry her. " Montag says. " That doesn't matter to me. What about the promise?" I say. " I can't exactly get married and then act like a single man to her. " He says. I sigh and get up. " Let's just get this over with." I say, "Let's head to bed. We have an early start. ". Monty opens the door to the room we had shared the night before. "I'll be across the hall," I say, walking passed. Lucio's jaw drops. " But we always share a room. " He says. " And you're someone's fiancee~," I say, words dripping venom. Lucio just kinda stares back at me. I open the door to a different room and curl up in the blankets. My eyes close as I slow my breathing. The cold night air flows through the room, sending shivers down my spine. My mind wanders. My mind remembers the moment he thought I was asleep and confessed his feelings.  I sigh as I slowly flip my body. My eyes close. I see Lucio standing by the doorway. "I'm sorry. If this makes you uncomfortable, I won't marry her. " He says, voice cracking a little." No, it's fine. It's just. " I sigh, " We made a promise to only marry for love. And then you thought I was asleep, you confessed that you liked me and well. " I say up in the bed, blushing, " I'm sorry.  I realize how stupid this is-". I'm cut off by his lips crashing down onto mine. My breath hitches as I wake up. The light gently rising from behind the hills. I stretch and get up. Lucio knocks on the door. "Y/n. I'm going to head out. The carriage is here. " He says. I open the door and peek out. " See you later. " He says, sadness in his eyes. I wave. " You could come with. " He offers. "That wouldn't look good. I'll see you in about a week. " I say. He nods. I close the door and let out the breath I was unconsciously holding. I blush, remembering the dream from last night. I push the hair from my face as I move towards the window. I see Lucio walking into the carage. I sigh and wander around the halls, looking for food.

I softly flatten down the creases in my clothes as the horses come to a stop. I huff and stand up to walk out. The gentleman opens the door for me as I thank him. My jaw drops as I look around the beautiful walls and windows above the gleaming water. I look down the sides of the bridge to see eels and other rare aquatic animals swimming around. I open the door to hear shouting. Confused, I walk into a hallway to see a tall colored woman with long purple hair yelling at Lucio. I glare at her. "Why wouldn't you at least do some of your duties?" She yells. I sigh and drop the glare as I nod my head. Lucio always slacked off when it came to work and chores. She tosses the wine in a glass. " I'm leaving. You can keep Vensuvia." She shouts, throwing her hands up and storming out. Lucio just stands there, jaw dropped. I giggle a little and run over to hug him. "I see your marriage is going great," I say. Lucio turns around and almost shouts at me. "Y/n!" His face, still tinted a bit red from the wine, pulls me into a tight hug.  " What are you going to do now?" I ask, snuggling into his chest. " Try to run Vensuvia. Oh! " Lucio says, tossing his ring to the side, " I won't need that anymore.". " You should probably wash that off before it stains," I say, pulling away. Lucio smiles. " Probably. I'll be right back." Lucio says. Lucio walks off as I look around the room. Montag walks in a few minutes later.  " So um, are you still mad at me?" Lucio gestures around him, " For this?". I see a glint of hope in his eyes. I smile. " Not at all! It's gorgeous!" I say.  " Fantastic!" Lucio says. He blushes red for a moment. " You ok?" I ask. " I was wondering if uh," Lucio begins, getting down on one knee, " You's become the countess of this." I blush bright red as my jaw drops. " In other words, would you miss. Y/n L/n  ( First and last name)  would do me the honor of being my wife?"  he says, just as red as me. I drop to my knees. " Of course!" I say. I grab his face and stop smiling.

Lucio's pov

Y/n grabs my face and stops grinning. " Is everything ok?" I ask. " You missed a spot," she says. " Where?" I ask. She pulls me into a breathtaking kiss. I slowly melt into the kiss. She pulls away. " There." she says with a smirk.
