Between light and darkness (Black Clover x Reader)

Leopold Part 1/2

It looks like sis really loves to mess everything... when she don't know how to continue something or reaches a dead end XD

No matter how hard she tried, (Y/N) was not yet able to fit well into her new life within royalty. The nobles were still too cold with her and the servants did not pay any attention to her every time she tried to talk to them.

For these and many other reasons, (Y/N) preferred to simply stay in her father's office while constantly reading the books that Hervor or Surtr brings to her or simply watching carefully the work that her father was doing.

One day while Julius was reading a report, (Y/N) decided to put aside the book he was reading and went to his father's desk to ask something that has been in her head for several days.

—Dad... I wanted to ask you something for some time... — she said nervously. Julius stopped doing what he was doing and walked away from his desk to tell the girl to come and sit on his legs. (Y/N) did it without hesitation while Julius hugged her from behind and placed his chin on one of her shoulders.

—What is worrying you? —He asked in a soft voice. (Y/N) took Julius' hands between hers and smiled slightly before that innocent face turned into a completely serious one.

—It's about what you told me... that I would have to choose someone to marry because something happened to my fiancé... —she commented turning her head towards Julius—...I would like to know... I would like to know who my fiancé is and what happened with him...—

—About that... — Julius did not know what to say at that moment. He did not want her to find out about something as sad as that but he did not want to hide anything from her anymore so he let out a slight sigh before moving her slightly so that she was sitting sideways on his legs —... Your fiancé is a member of the Vermillion Royal family... his name is Fuegoleon and he was the captain of the Crimson Lion King. During the attack to the kingdom by White Night Eye, he was defeated and is currently in a coma... and we do not know when he will wake up... —

When she heard that, (Y/N) felt a slight pain in her chest and began to feel guilty of not having helped back at that time. She blamed herself for the fact that he was in that state maybe because of her fault and that sadness that was marked on her face was enough for Julius to notice.

—Don't be sad... it's not your fault... — He tried to comfort her by imagining what she had thought to have put that expression—... anyway if you want to go and see him, he is in the medical area in the section reserved for the members of royalty... — he said before taking a small jewel from one of the drawers of his desk and opened it to take the small necklace that was inside and hung it on (Y/N)'s neck — this belongs to the Vermillion family... this necklace together with the red gem that hangs on it is the symbol of the engagement between you two... –

・・・

(Y/N) thought it would be a good idea to go visit him to change her routine a little bit so once she thanked her father for telling her that, she kissed his forehead before getting out of the chair and then leaves the room to go directly to the medical area.

She did not take long to get to the place and began to walk through the long corridors of that building until finally managed to reach the rooms where they were treating members of royalty. The place was completely silent and you could rarely see a magician go through those corridors. With the help of her locator magic, (Y/N) did not take long to find Fuegoleon's room and without making any noise, she opens the door slightly and enters the place.
