MASSACRE | Wriothesley x Reader

[17]

"It's been a couple days now, and you're mostly healed." Sigewinne smiled at you as you sat up on the infirmary bed. "Just take it easy for a while before you start getting really active again okay?"

"Thanks Sigewinne." You thought the girl was too cute and adorable to be working somewhere as gory as an infirmary, but oh well.

"If you ever start to feel funny come to me immediately and I'll see what the problem is, also take this medication once every morning until they run out." The head nurse handed you a small bottle of a few pills.

"Mhm." You nodded along as the baby blue haired girl drowned you with orders and warnings.

"That will be all, you are free to go now Y/n, stay safe!" The half melusine waved at you as you excited the infirmary for the first time in days.

Though you couldn't really say it was a nice breath of fresh air, to be truthful you were growing a bit tired of such a dull atmosphere, and incredibly bored too.

Brushing all negative thoughts aside, the first thing you wanted to do was invite Wriothesley for a cup of tea, Céline told you he had this weird and crazy obsession with tea so you wanted to check out just how tea crazy this man was. And also spend some time with him.

Making your way towards his office, you were about to knock on his door when you heard a choir of laughter erupt from the other side. Leaning into the door, you heard the voice of a mature woman as well as Wriothesley's.

"Your tea collection is as fine as ever Your Grace." A feminine voice complimented, then along came the noises of something somewhat like sipping a drink from a cup.

"A great few of them were provided by you so I suppose you ought to say that, though you're not wrong." Wriothesley's voice replied.

"It's been a while since I've come down here to sip tea with you and chat, I suppose I have to do this more often." You heard a soft chuckle along with her voice. "We've known each other for so long yet we barely meet."

For some reason her words made your blood boil, you wanted nothing more than this random lady to go away.

"That would be nice, you're right Clorinde." The black haired male also sipped on some tea.

It was her. You thought.

The same champion duellist who publicly embarrassed you in front of the entirety of Fontaine. You clenched your fists in anger as all those memories came flowing back to you. The poisoning the laughter, the immense humiliation. You had almost forgotten how messed up everything was because Wriothesley was your distraction. He made you forget all about the people who murdered your brother, he made you forget how you massacred them just for their true nature to never be revealed, he made you forget how you spent your entire life in a facility, being experimented on only to escape and get put into prison instead. He made you forget. And now some woman was here and she reminded you of all of it.

"Though I am wondering why you personally requested for me to come down here." This girl so called Clorinde inquired.

"Ah yes, before we address that, let's head somewhere more secluded." Wriothesley spoke.

After hearing that you backed away from the door, not wanting to hear anymore of this. You knew it wasn't your place to get mad The Duke was talking to some other woman but you just couldn't help it.

From how close they were all the way down to the way they spoke to each other made you feel like she was more of a priority to him than you. Even though how narcissistic that sounded, you just couldn't help but want all of his attention.

You didn't know how to word it or how to feel, so, you decided to go talk to Céline about it.

♡

As you were making your way towards Céline's room, you found her at the cafeteria, but before you sat next to her you decided to order something, specifically the same meal you were provided with this morning.

"Hey Wolsey, could I get the same thing The Duke ordered this morning?" You approached the guy who sold the food.

"Oh you mean the Bulle Souffle?" He questioned.

"I'm pretty sure." You confirmed.

"It's usually quite the high price but I was told to reduce it anytime you wanted to order it. Heck I'm even being paid more, so all I have to say is thank you." The man chuckled as to which your eyes widened in shock.

Just as you were trying to be angry he somehow always manages to cheer you up even without being there.

You waited for Wolsey to finish cooking your meal before you made your way over to Céline and sat down next to her.

"Y/nnnnnn." The dirty blonde greeted you with a cheerful voice.

"Célineeee." You responded but with a really dry tone.

"Oh come on don't be like that, also isn't that like super expensive?" The girl pointed at your Buffle Souffle. "And it smells so good what the heck."

"I have like, a discount on it for life. Wriothesley told Wolsey to sell it to me for a lower price." You left the smallest smile creep onto your face.

"That's..... not as romantic as the time he arrested you but it'll do." She hummed, but oh my god Y/n share?"

"You can have one piece." You used your fork to point at what you allowed her to take.

Grinning at you, Céline grabbed it and dropped it on her plate using her fork. "Love you loads."

"Mhm you're welcome." You snickered at how happy she was. "Oh by the way, I heard Wriothesley talking to some woman in his office today. Then he told her they should go to a more secluded place to talk more." You complained, with an obvious sour tone in your voice.

"He what?!" Céline dropped the fork she was holding. You found her at the cafeteria on your way to her room then decided to eat lunch with her. Her sudden outburst earned a couple heads to turn your way. "Who's the girl?"

"Her name is Clorinde-"

"Clorinde?!" Céline yelled again. drawing even more attention to the two of you. Then she laughed awkwardly, whispering a few sorries and with a small wave.

"Keep it down woman." You crossed your arms, "I didn't come here for you to tell the whole world my business."

"I'm glad you're finally warming up to me Y/n." Céline had the biggest smile on her face, then she clung onto your arm.

"You keep living in your delusions." You sighed, trying to pry the dirty blonde off of you, but her grip was as strong as ever. "Seriously, you're such a toddler."

The girl then stuck her tongue out at you, taunting you.

"You do realise you aren't helping your case?" You couldn't help but hide a small smile and a laugh at her childish actions.

"Blah blah blah, everything I say can and will be used against me in court, I get it, I get it, I've heard it before." She rolled her eyes. "But I never knew The Duke and The Champion duellist were close... Ugh that's so annoying, at first glance it would seem like they have no chemistry at all, they're so different it just shouldn't work at all."

"Right? But I can't do anything about it, he's probably known her for way longer than he's known me." You poked at your food.

"I feel like we are missing something to address here..." The dirty blonde started thinking hard.

"What is it?" You asked.

"Oh that's it!" Céline turned her head to you, "you're totally jealous right now."
