Hi everyone! This chapter maybeeeee is a forgiveness? :))
Enjoy!
____________
- Ludwig's POV -
That night, I sat in my room, swinging in my chair. My mind couldn't stop thinking about (Y/N). Why did I feel guilty? She was an absolute bitch! But then again, her situation. She's kidnapped, and stripped of her powers. Should I go down there? Or should I try to forget about it for now. Going back and forth, I decided to go and see her.
I picked my jacket, keeping my wand at the ready in my hand just in case she tried to escape. Walking down the corridor towards the dungeons, I took a deep breath, still unsure. I looked around me, seeing no one, and continued on my way.
Walking through the dungeons, I heard groaning. Not loud groaning, more weak, raspy groaning. I decided to walk faster to her cell, and once I got there I saw the source of the groaning. She was lying on the ground, clutching her stomach. Her skin was oddly pale, which didn't help the dirt and scruffiness of her. I cleared my throat, letting her know I was there. I saw her jump, slowly moving closer to the wall. I frowned slightly, the guilt increasing massively.
"L-Ludwig...?" She said, barely able to speak. She couldn't even move her head! I rushed into the cell, making sure it was locked behind me still. I got close to her, enough to see she was shaking as well. She still tried to move away from me. I reached to touch her shoulder, feeling it colder than earlier, even more alarming.
"Princess, let me help you. Please." I said, trying to reassure her. I saw her look up, still fearful. I offered her my hand, which she shakily took. I helped her to her feet, but she still slumped. I figured I should carry her. I picked her up bridal style and took her out of the cell, which she was surprised at.
"What are... wh-where are you taking me?" She asked, still weak and raspy. I walked down the corridor, past my door, and to a pink door. I figured the best person to help me would be Wendy. I knocked the door with my elbow, since I'm holding the princess in my arms. Then I saw the door open.
A short woman, probably shorter than (Y/N) answered the door. Her hair black with a pink bow holding a side ponytail, sky blue eyes and pink lips popping out from her pale face. She wore a black dress, pink denim jacket and small pink heels, with a wand harnessed to her waist. This was my sister, Wendy, only two years younger than me. "Ludwig? What do you- why have you got the princess?" She asked, concerned.
"Look, Wendy. She was in the dungeon but I need to help her. She's very very cold and could do with a clean up. Please, can you help me?" I asked. I'm not one to ask her for favours so naturally she decided to help me. She stood aside the door, letting me slip in with the princess. The princess looked at her, a weak smile on her face.
"Hey, (Y/N). I'm Wendy, Ludwig's sister. I'm gonna help you, okay? Let's get you cleaned up." I put the princess down, Wendy walking with her into her bathroom. I sat on Wendy's bed, waiting for them to be done.
- Wendy's POV -
I helped the princess sit down on a chair, next to a vanity I have in my bathroom. I stood behind her, starting to undo her dress.
"So how are you, (Y/N)? I know that seems like an insensitive question, but I want to make sure you have a good time here." I said, wanting to reassure her. I can't imagine the fear and confusion she must feel. She moved her hair over her shoulder, making it easier to undo her dress.
"I-I'm... okay. Umm....I do need a bit of water, please?" She asked, and I got her a glass of water, she took it from me, thanking me and drinking all of it. She cleared her throat, feeling better. "Thank toy for helping me, Wendy."
"You're welcome (Y/N). Us girls got to stick together, right?" I smiled. I got her dress undone and she stood up, letting it slide off. I put it in the basket, planning on using my magic to spruce it up later. She took her underwear off herself and I gave her a towel. I sat her so she's facing the mirror and grabbed a hairbrush. I started to brush her hair, asking her questions about herself. "So, (Y/N), what hobbies do you have?"
"Well I do enjoy (hobby), and I love playing music. I'm not sure if you know, but back in my kingdom I perform. That's...where I was kidnapped from." She said, her face looking as if she's deep in thought. I smiled, rubbing my fingers through her hair, making sure there's no knots. I turned her around and grabbed some makeup wipes.
I gently rubbed her face, getting the dirt and makeup off. Once I was done, I grabbed her dress. "I'll fix this for you, meanwhile, you can get in the bath and clean yourself, I'll be on the other side of the door, so let me know when you're done, okay?" I said.
She nodded. "Thank you, Wendy. I owe you one." She smiled, and I closed the door, seeing Ludwig still in my room.
"Now, Ludwig, tell me. What happened, tell me from the beginning." I said, fixing her dress.
- (Y/N)'s POV -
I took the towel off, and stepped into the bath. I sighed, feeling the warmth envelope me. I started to rub the rest of the dirt off my body. I looked at the shampoos, starting to use them. I loved the smell of strawberry in my hair, and relaxed for a bit. My mind started to wander. What was I going to do? Why did I suddenly feel more comfortable here? When will I be going home?
I shrugged my shoulders, brushing the thoughts aside. Once I finished I drained the bath and dried myself off, I wrapped the towel around me before knocking on the door. "..Wendy?"
- Wendy's POV -
"Ah, I see. So you kidnapped her from the concert because of her powers?" I asked, brow raised. Ludwig nodded.
"Yes. I went down to see her just now and she looked terrible. She was shaking, very cold and weak. That's why I brought her here. I think I'll keep her in my room for now, I can't put her back there! There's no way she'll trust me!" He said, and I smiled deviously. Oh boy.
"Why do you want her to trust you, Ludwig? You want to be friends with her, perhaps?" My smile grew more. He blushed a bit, looking back up at me. Bingo.
"M-maybe! I don't want her to be scared of me, Wendy! I'll need to help her at the moment, she's a bit shaken up." Ludwig, looking solemn, putting his head in his hands.
"...Wendy?" I heard (Y/N)'s voice call from the other side of the door. I picked up her new and improved dress and went through the door.
"Hey, (Y/N), let's get you ready!" I said, getting my wand ready.
- Ludwig's POV -
As Wendy closed the door, I thought more about what she said. It was true, I did want to be friends with (Y/N). Other than Peach, I don't have much contact with girls or anyone for that matter. I felt a little less guilty about what happened between me and her but I haven't had the opportunity to apologise. I stood up, and just then, the door to Wendy's bathroom opened to reveal (Y/N).
Her dress was now completely sleeveless, a sweetheart stitch instead of open at the chest, still white and (F/C). Her gloves were now longer, reaching just under her shoulders. The (F/C) ribbon now thicker and reaching just under her chest. The skirt of the dress was the same, and her (F/C) heels were now white. Her necklace was also the same, along with the tiara. Her hair was in curls, now framing her face. She had simple makeup on, winged eyeliner and other natural features.
Realising I was staring, I walked up to her, offering a hand. She smiled softly, taking my hand. "I'm sorry for earlier, princess. I was out of line." I said, hoping she'll forgive me.
"You helped me, and I'm sorry too. I was really scared, this is all new to me." She said, smiling wider at me. I felt my face heat up a little and I cleared my throat.
"Let's go, there's something things we need to discuss. Thanks Wendy, we'll be going now." I said, bringing (Y/N) with me.
"You're welcome, have fun you two! You know where to find me if you need me." She smiled, waving at us.
"Come on, (Y/N). Let's go to my room." I said, walking with her to my room.
