Adrien slowly came to still dizzy from the gas. He was about to raise his hand to rub his head, but he felt something tied around his wrist. He looked around and saw that he was in a carriage.

He heard the clacking of the horse's hooves against the stone ground below. He tried to get out of the bands but failed. "It'll only get tighter the more you struggle." a voice said. He looked up to see the Evilustrator sitting across from him. "Wh- what are you doing here? I thought w- Ladybug and Cat Noir defeated you."

"Yes, but I am not a flimsy puppet anymore, I have free will, and it's all thanks to my beloved mistress." He sighed dreamily. Adrien grumbled under his breath. His beloved mistress, who does he think he is, she's my lady! "Ah... but alas, her heart only belongs to a scoundrel like you." He glared at him.

"So are you trying to kill me so you can have her all to yourself?" "No, I'm afraid I'd be in big trouble if that happened and it's hard to woo a lady if you're dead. My mistress has a sent for you so you can make your decision to stay with her or not." The carriage stopped abruptly.

He stood up ready to get out of the carriage but stopped. "Oh, and one more thing..." "Yeah?" "If you break her heart again I will kill you, no matter what. Even if she kills me or never let's me be by her side ever again, I will kill you. So... make the right choice, got it?" he said solemnly as he narrowed his eyes.

"I would never hurt her." Adrien glared at him before he opened the door. He pushed Adrien out of the carriage to make him walk faster. Adrien looked in awe as he saw the courtyard garden and the statues they walked down the way to see Marinette sitting on the steps patiently.

She seemed to be looking out onto the horizon. At the moment Adrien didn't care that he had been kidnapped only that he was able to see her beautiful smile once more. "Your majesty, I have fulfilled your... request." Evilustrator called out.

She turned away from her concentration on the view and looked at the two people in front of her. "Adrien!" She exclaimed happily. She ran down the stone path and jumped to hug Adrien. He would return the hug but he was... tied up at the moment.

Marinette looked at him with ha smile, which gave him a chance to look into her pretty blue eyes. They weren't they're pretty bluebell anymore, instead the color was a light baby blue like the color of tears.

Marinette inspected him for moment before spotting the rope on his hands. "Evilustrator?" She growled. He yelped and stammered to explain, "W-w-well you see y-your majesty... w-we didn't want him to escape or anything. You understand... right?"

"I asked you to bring him unharmed." "He is unharmed just... tied up." Marinette scoffed and got the rope of Adrine's wrists. She held up Adrien's hand and showed Evilustrator the red marks on his wrists. "You call this unharmed? My love doesn't deserve such treatment." She said stroking his wrists.

Adrien blushed as a he stared down at her, while Evilustrator grumbling. She kissed both his hands which made him as red as Nathaniel's hair. "M-m-m-m-marinette y-you don't have to worry about m-" "Of course I do. Kisses actually have healing properties you know." Oh my God I have to be dreaming.

"U-uh I-I didn't know." She looked up at him and smiled, then she turned shyly. "So... have you thought about my offer?" "O-offer?" "You know, when I visited you and asked you if you wanted to live with me here." "R-right. Um... I'm not sure... yet." Marinette looked him with a disappointed look.

"It's okay, I understand. I'm sure you don't trust me yet." "N-NO I do trust you it's just that..." "Just that what?" Adrien stayed silent. "Okay, but will you at least stay with me today. Just so you can have a good idea of what you're getting into." Adrien looked at her surprised for moment and blushed.

"W-w-well if it's only for today..." "Great! Come with me I'll show you around the place." She grabbed his hand and started running with him to the castle entrance leaving Eviustrator alone in the courtyard.

That spoiled, little, rich kid doesn't deserve her. Just you wait Adrien Agreste, soon she will forget about you and love me. Then I can finally get rid of you once and for all.
