Dark fall's secret maiden

Chapter 23: Chapter 20: festival



As y/n and nergal was walking from Luke's place, the festival noise and light caught their attention and decided to explore.

Y/n's hood up covering her face, same goes to nergal as they both explore.

Food, magic tricks, music, and more as people smile and enjoy. But for y/n she felt bitter inside as she see the village, no, the kingdom has now changed.

"Alot had changed since I left"

"Really?"

Asks nergal curiously as both bought skewers and ate as they hide at the dark alley.

"It wasn't like this, we have our own duty to do, men and woman, even though we each had a great role to play, still they won't consider females to be leaders unless it "is" the role of females, like teaching, sewing somewhat like that. But never the military or combat that takes a lot of labor outside the fortress....well...."

She looks up the corner of the sky seeing the fortress has lessen compare to the pass where it is high that they don't see the tall trees, now they do.

"And as for the siblings.....it should be one male and one female and well.....they now allow it while in the past.... don't..."

She breaks the three sticks in her hand easily without effort as she gets frustrated. Nergal just stare at her then the people outside the dark alley who are smiling and enjoying life.

Silence took them over. Nergal finish his food and pull y/n out the alley and smiles.

"We are here to enjoy y/n, not talk about the past. Now why don't we explore and have fun shall we?"

Y/n hesitates and hesitates before slightly smiling.

"I guess so"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two enjoy and play games and ate food. Watching magic shows and helping out secretly to people who are getting stolen stuff by thieves.

Nergal then spot a dress shop and pulls y/n in.

"Wha-what? Nergal what are you—"

"Let's do a makeover"

Y/n looks at him weirdly as nergal just smiled. The employees didn't recognize y/n thanks to the magic potion she drank earlier that hides the aura of the person, and help the two out and change their appearance and their clothes.

Nergal wearing a suit like prince that made the women inside the store fawn over. He waits for y/n to finish as he thinks about what she looks like.

Y/n came out and nergal, for a minute forgot to breathe. The dress hugging the body at the right places, the make up was simple but beautiful on her and her hair fixed falls on the right places to her face. If nergal was to compliment, he can't. Because he's expression says it all.

"How do I look?"

Nergal coughs, regaining posture and compliments.

"You look stunning y/n"

"Thanks"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Is this a good idea?"

"Why not?"

The two walk out the shop wearing the clothes they changed into, looking like a couple from a noble status.

"Let's stay not too long"

"Very well.....milady"

Nergal bows slightly, hand to his chest as to bow like a Duke to his milady.

Y/n scoffs.

They both suddenly stop when they felt a strong demeanor around them that they only noticed. Sensing something....dark.

"Nergal..."

"Yeah, felt that too....looks like somethings coming....."

"More like watching us"

The two look at each other and agreed to separate ways for a bit as they act nonchalant.

Y/n walks to a jewel store pretending to look for something.

"Since when do you wear dresses?"

A voice creeps up beside her and looks up seeing a tall cloaked woman with green eyes underneath the hood.

Y/n freezes and stare at them, shocked

"Co....cousin"

A/n: heyo wassup, enjoy reading now. Bye
