Chereads / Awakening (Nozel Silva x reader) / Chapter 9 - Bad reputation

Chapter 9 - Bad reputation

(Reader's pov)

After I left the Nozel's room, I snuck in my room, avoiding the guards and the magic knights. I was tired and happy, because I finally had a friend.

Since I was a little girl, no one wanted to be my friend or stay with me without mocking me because  I was a girl and . Yeah, it was my stupid nickname which all the royals used to call me. All of them, except of Acier Silva. She was the first person who was good with me. She inspired me to become a magic knight and prove to everyone that I am the princess this kingdom needs.

I took a shower and I was about to fall asleep, but I heard screams coming from my neighbor rooms.

"(Y/N) IS A SHAME..... (Y/N) IS A SHAME...." they said screaming and laughing out loud. I exited the room to see who's screaming at this hour. A big mistake.

"Look who's awake, it's The Silver Eagles's shame!!! " Beatrice said to her to the people who were on her back. I couldn't believe it. They were the entire squad, except of Nozel. They all started laughing and pointing at me like I was an animal.

I turned around and quickly entered in my room, locking the door. Beatrice aproached to my door and started to kick it with her leg.

"What's wrong princess? Are you SCARED?" she said kicking the door until she broke it.

I was so angry that I wanted to teach her a lesson and then, I looked at my grimoire and at the page with the Twilight Bow appeared a new spell. I took the bow and a light arrow appeared.

"Light magic: Sparkle arrow" I said  and shouted in Beatrice. The arrow kicked her out of my room and exploded. All of them were on the ground with some minor injures and Beatrice had a big mark on her chest, but she was fine. I just burned her dress and her bra. She got up and went in her room with a red face while all the boys looked at her with a smirk on their faces.

"This isn't over, (Y/N)! You will be in big trouble and you will regret that you did this to ME!!" she said and slammed the door of her room hard.

After that, all the squad members frowning at me.

"How dare you to do such a horrible thing to Beatrice?"

"Stupid rat!"

"Leave this squad and never go back, you MONSTER!" they said yelling at me. I was so scared and shocked that I couldn't even move. They were aproaching me until I recovered from the shock and made a light barrier to stop them.

"Do you think that a barrier can stop us, you stupid bitch..." Tedros said kicking my barrier with with steel magic and the other boys followed him. I didn't know what yo do next. They wanted to kill me because I burned stupid bitch's dress and bra. What the hell was wrong with them.

The barrier was about to fall apart until I sense an intense mana coming to my room.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" the captain said and the boys stopped. I made the barrier disapear and I saw the captain and Nozel next to him.

"Captain.... S-She..."Tedros said with a trembling voice.

" WHAT DID SHE? "

" It's all her fault... "he said pointing at me.

" So.... It's her fault that you nearly DESTROYED THE HQ? You'll get punished for this. ALL OF YOU!!!! " he said looking at us. He was so angry that he would kill us at any moment. He casted a spell and all of us were grabbed by giant water arms.

"Captain, wait! Look! Door is broken in her room. That means they wanted to enter in her room by force. She is innocent."Nozel said pointing at  the broken door.

" Hhmm... I see. (Y/N), you're free. "he said and freed me."Tomorrow, I want you to come in my office and explain what happened."

"Yes sir!" I said and they left. I fixed the door.... somehow... and then I didn't felt my legs anymore. I fell on my bed, breathing very hard. I was still shocked about what happened that I couldn't sleep anymore.

(Timeskip)

It was 8 am and I was exhausted. I washed my face with cold water, I dressed up and went to the captain's office.

I knocked the door three times and he allowed me to enter. I entered and sat down on a chair.

"Now tell me what happened last night." he said with a calmed voice which gave me the courage to speak. I told him everything about Beatrice, the new spell that I used to defend myself from her, how I accidentally burned her dress and bra and left a small mark on her chest and how the boys went insane that I though they wanted to kill me.

"I'm so sorry for what I did to Beatrice, but she broked my door, all the squad members were on her side and I didn't know what to do. I didn't wanted to harm her, I just wanted them to let me go." I said with a scared face.

"I see....You can leave now. Go to a maid and ask for a broom to start sweeping the hallways. "he said with a serious face.

"Yes sir!" I said and left the office. I was very hungry so I went to the dinning room, but I was stopped by Debbie.

" You don't deserve to eat for what you did to my sister." she said and slammed the door in my face.

I tried to open the door but I were too weak to succesed, so I went to the kitchen to eat something and ask a maid for a broom.

After an hour I started to sweep the first hallway. It was so hard without magic because the hallway was huge.

A couple of hours later, I saw Nozel coming to me.

"Hi, (Y/N), are you okay?" he said with a concerned face. I looked like I didn't sleep a week.

"Huh... Yeah.... I'm fine. Thank you for defending me. If you weren't there last night, I would be in a hospital, near dead." I said smilling at him and he blushed.

"It.... It was nothing. After all,you saved my life so.... You better be grateful! " he said with a red face and looked away.

"I really am. Thank you very much!" I said and hugged him. He looked at me and he was shocked.

"W-What are you d-doing? I-I'm royalty! " he said and pushed me away. He was so red that I though that he's mad at me. My smile was gone and I was trying not to cry.

"I... I'm sorry." I said and ran away to my room. I locked me there and started crying. Nozel was at my door.

"I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. Please, open the door!"he said. I opened the door looking down, without looking at him.

"I'm sorry for hugging you..... I guess that you don't want to be friends anymore... " and then he hugged me.

"No, you're wrong. I'm not mad at you. I was just....surprized. Please forgive me." he said hugging me tightly.

"I forgive you, but it isn't your fault...Sigh...Look, I'm really tired and all the squad hate me. I was scared that you will hate me too." I said looking at him with eyes on my tears.

"I'll never hate you." he said wiping away my tears and, at that moment, my stomach rumbled. "Did you eat today?"

"Not much. They didn't allowed me to enter in the dining room and in the kitchen I barely founded something to eat."

"The dinner was served two hours ago. You wouldn't find anything. Would you like to..... to eat somewhere?" he said with a blush on his face.

I was about to accet his offer until....

"Nozy, Nozy! Where are you?" it was Beatrice.

"You have to go." I said with a sad face.

He was about to say something, but the door opened.

"Nozy, what are doing here with this shame? Come on! You have to buy me something to eat!"she said grabbing his hand.

"Wait a second. Didn't you eat at the dinner?" he said freeing himself from her.

"Of course I ate, but I'm still hungry." she said grabbing his hand again.

"Why don't you buy something to eat?

" Because I want you to buy for me. "she said and grabbed him out of my room.

Then I was alone, very sad and hungry. Two hours later, Nozel came back.

"(Y/N),I'm sorry it took so long. I brough you some food. "he said and gave me a bag with some food.

" Thank you so much! "I said hugging him again. He blushed, but, instead of pushing me away, he hugged me back." You're making progress. "

" Yeah... Now eat!"

" Okay! "I said and started eating very fast. In 5 minutes, I finished eating and Nozel stared at me and giggled.

" You were really hungry, weren't you?..... I have to go. See you tomorrow! "

"Good night! "I said and he left. I was so lucky to have him as a friend.
