A Dark Ball

Hi! I'm back!

I have a very deep love for the whole "Dark Royalty" aesthetic, and have been wanting to write a oneshot on it for awhile so here it is.

This is a crush imagine btw.

***

You walked through the long, dark halls of the castle, feeling it's breeze send shivers down your spine. You look gorgeous in your long black gown with matching silk gloves, black heels, your hair neatly curled at it's ends while hanging down on your shoulders, purple eyeshadow, and deep red lipstick. You look stunning, just as you should. No one could even see the dagger laced to your leg.

You had just entered the ballroom when you spotted him, C/N, your target of the evening. You were given the task of assassinating the kingdom's prince.

'Wow,' you thought, 'my parents never mentioned how attractive he was.'

You quickly snapped out of your thoughts.

'I'm not here to flirt. I'm here to kill him.'

C/N soon caught eyes onto you as well, and only then did you realize what he was wearing. He was dressed in a rather fancy black suit wearing, contradicting, white gloves, along with black ball shoes. His hair was gelled, and yet it still managed to look quite unruly. It suits him.

As soon as you had realized you were staring, C/N was already right in front of you.

"Excuse me, miss, but I couldn't help but notice your staring, and I was wondering if you would like to dance with me." he had asked in a soft, yet hardy voice.

You cheeks tinted themselves red at the mere thoughts of dancing with him.

"Why of course, your majesty." You had replied.

"You can call me C/N." he corrected you.

"Well then of course, C/N."

He took your hand and lead you to the middle of the dance floor, where you knew all eyes were immediately on you. Of course they were, you were dancing with the prince. He chose you, of all people.

The orchestra played beautifully as you two slowly waltzed around the room. Everyone watch in awe.

About halfway through the night, when C/N had visibly gotten comfortable around you, you had decided that then was the perfect time to strike. You were almost smiling with joy from completing your task- almost.

You could feel the dagger's cold metal against your leg, and you slowly started to inch you arm towards it. Just as you were going to reach for it, C/N grabbed your hand.

Before you could ask him what he was doing, he leaned in close to your ear and whispered,

"Do you really think I can't tell when I'm about to be assassinated?"

Your face whitened at his realization.

'How has he known what I was planning to do?' you thought to yourself

"Don't worry." he started, as if reading your thoughts, "You did nothing wrong. I'm just trained to sense a danger, and I was drawn to you."

"What makes you think I'm here to kill you?" You whisper back, attempting to bluff his discovery.

"That dagger you have laced to your leg." he said reaching out a finger to point towards you supposedly- hidden dagger. "No one else may see it, but I know it's there."

"So what I'm here to kill you. I obviously can't now. So what are you gonna do? Lock me away? Banish me? Have me beheaded?"

"Not at all. I've been hunted many times, and each who had sought my death failed. I'm just disappointed that the one I love had been the killer this time." C/N spoke in a husky voice, yet still whispering. No one else could hear this conversation.

"Love?!" you said astonished, "You haven't even known me a night."

"Well, that's all it takes"

"Too bad I don't feel for you, then."

"I know that was a lie, miss."

"What? Are you trained to sense lies too?" You asked sarcastically.

"No. But if you weren't lying, then I'd be dead with a sliced throat by now."

"And how would I do that?"

"Simple. Just slit my throat."

"Not when you have my hand sealed in your own grip."

"Oh, but here's the thing. I let go of your hand a few minutes ago."

You look down to detest his lie, but instead you see your hand, free from C/N's grip.

"Why you little-" You go one to start, but C/N cuts you off.

"Ah now, is that how we speak to loved ones?" He asks in an, obviously, mocking tone.

"Once again, I don't love you."

"Then kill me." C/N says bowing in front of you, like every other lead in the room. "Slit my throat and leave me here to die. I know you can escape at your level."

"I couldn't possibly do that."

"And why not?"

You didn't answer him. You could never admit that you, too, had also caught feelings for your own assassination target. You two sat there in silence, still dancing to the music, until C/N spoke up.

"I'll take the silence as my answer. You love me too."

"You sly little bastard." And with that you ended the dance at the stop of the song and walked out of the ballroom knowing C/N would soon be following right behind you. You stopped in the hallway, but felt no presence. Doubting your decision of leaving, you almost turn around to walk back in. That is until you heard footsteps you only sought to be C/N's. You turned around to see him with a single black rose in his hand.

"I never caught your name, love." He said, handing you the rose.

You took the rose from him staring down at it in awe. Your cheeks were tinting again as you replied.

"Y/N. Y/N L/N."

"Well Y/N L/N, I will sure see you around here. And will be sure to marry you one day." C/N said.

"I shall be back. For to kill you or to marry you shall not be determined yet." You relied slyly.

C/N only laughed and walked towards the staircase which led to god knows where.

***

You were walking around the courtyard, rose in hand, not quite ready to go home yet, when you saw a tint of light coming from above. You looked up, and to your surprise, you spotted C/N holding a mirror.

He motions for you to come closer and you do as he wants. He placed down the mirror, but you saw that he had something else between his fingers. It was a ring.

You lay out your hand and he dropped it from his balcony, glimmering in the moonlight.

You catch the ring and look up to C/N thank him, but he is nowhere in sight. You sigh to yourself and place the ring on your index finger. You walk out of the castle's courtyard, making your journey home.

Dead or alive, you will see C/N again.
