The next day Alya was alone in the castle library. She started gathering books with information on genealogy and anything else that looked like it would help and sat them on a nearby table.

She was currently waiting for Nino to arrive so they could start their search on something that might give them some information about where he's come from.

Alya really did want to know more about him and this was also a good excuse for them to spend a little more time together. Nino had apologize over and over again for running off last night, and even though she was a little upset at the time she didn't hold a grudge.

Instead she just told him that he could make up for it by meeting her in the library the next morning and then the two of them could have lunch together.

She could hardly wait.

Alya had already collected at least 20 different books from off the shelves. She looked over near the entrance wondering what was taking Nino so long.

Wait...does he even know where the library is? I don't think I ever told him....

Alya sweat dropped at the thought that he might've been lost trying to get here, so she decided to take the initiative to go look for him.

To her surprise and utter disgust, when she opened the door she was face to face with the last person she wanted to run into that day.

"Hey babe.~" Harold said taking a step towards the Auburn haired girl causing her to take a step back. "It's been awhile."

"Really? I don't think it was long enough. I'll let you know when I actually want to see your face." Alya tried to move past them but he had blocked the way, closing the door in the process. Alya was beginning to lose her patience. "Move..."

"Why the rush foxy lady?" The guard smirked.

"I happen to be meeting someone today and I rather be with them right now than with you."

"You mean that errand boy with the visiting Prince?" He said with a raised eyebrow. "Trust me babe you don't want to get involved with that guy......there's something......weird about him......."

"Oh and I supposed you just expect me to take YOUR word for it?"

"I would if I were you."

Alya rolled her eyes. "Get out of my way." Alya once again tried to push pass Harold, but the guard grabbed her by the arm keeping her in place. "What the heck are you doing?! Let me go!"

"What do you even see in that guy anyway?" Harold asked in an angry tone. "He's nothing but a servant, a nobody, I'm strong, I could give you anything you want, and my status would make you even more then just the princess right hand woman. What more can you want?"

"You really don't get it do you?" Alya spat back with just as much anger. "I don't care about your status or the things you have. You took advantage of me Harold, you played with my heart and then you stomped it into the ground. I need someone who is willing to understand what I want and not treat me like something he can just put away anytime he wants to!"

Alya snatched her arm away more determined than ever to leave, but Harold wasn't having it.

"No..." he grabbed her arm again, his grip being tighter than before. "You're not going anywhere..."

~~~~~~

Nino was having a hard time finding the library. Now that he thought about it, he never did ask Alya where it was. Looking in every room and turning every corner, he could definitely say that he was lost.

Maybe I should find Princess Ladybug and ask her where it is....or maybe I could ask a random guard or a maid.

The genie sighed as he continued to look for anyone who might know the way. For some reason, there seemed to be no one on this side of the castle. Just his luck.

He couldn't use his magic to get him there. He had to either know where he was going or his master had to already be there and Chat was currently with Ladybug.

Nino decided maybe he should go back the way he came, but stopped when he heard a noise coming down the hall.

Nino went over to investigate thinking that it might be someone who knows there way around the castle and could lead him to the library.

Around the corner there was a large door that he never seen when he reached for the handle he froze at the sound of a woman's voice.

"Get off of me!"

What was going on? It sounded like someone was in trouble, even worse it sounded like the voice belonged to...

Nino barged through the door just in time to hear a piercing scream.

Alya was trying to fight off what it looked to be one of the guards. The same guard who he saw harassing Alya on the day that they arrived.

He had her pinned down on the table while she tried to fight him off, books were scattered all around the floor as a result.

Nino charged into Harold knocking him off of Alya and onto the ground. Nino quickly got off the ground glaring at the guard and looked back at Alya who looked more shaken than ever.

"Hey are you alright?" Nino asked reaching out to the girl.

Alya fixed the sleeve of her dress that had been pulled down. "I....I don't know..." Her eyes widen when she noticed something behind him. "NINO LOOK OUT!"

Nino managed to dodge the upcoming attack from Harold who was now up and off the ground with his sword drawn.

"I'm getting tired of you!" He growled at the genie.

Harold began swinging at Nino like a mad man, trying to get rid of the brunette once and for all. Unfortunately for him the brunette was too fast, even if Harold did managed to get a hit in it wouldn't matter since Nino was immortal, but it would also blow his cover, he had to be careful.

Nino came to a dead end down one of the lanes in the library. He turned around to face his attacker. "Why are you doing this?!"

"I always get what I want and what I want right now is Alya, but I can't have her especially with you around."

"Dude, she doesn't WANT you! Why don't you just get that through that thick head of yours?!"

"Oh and like you're the better choice. Alya doesn't need to be with a freak like you!" Nino blinked at the guards words who simply smirked at him. "I know what you are punk, I saw you that day in the garden, you used some kind of spell to disappear and you also used it to save the Prince that we threw OFF THE EDGE OF A CLIFF. How ELSE could you have found him!"

Harold aimed the sword at his throat. "No magic trick of yours is gonna get you out of this."

Nino glanced up and sent a grin to the guard. "Alright you got me, but before I go, why don't I show you one last trick hmm?"

Harold gave a confused look when Nino snapped his fingers. There was a rumble from above and Harold looked up to see all the books flying from their shelves and toppling on top of him until he was completely burried.

Nino sighed in relief and looked up when Alya had came around the corner. Seeing the pile of books on the ground she asked. "What happened? Where's Harold?"

The brunette looked back at the pile of books. "He's catching up on some heavy reading." He said with a slight chuckle. "Come on let's go find some help-"

"I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!" Harold burst from the pile of books sword in hand.

Nino threw a hand out in front of Alya to protect her and Alya held on his arm as the guard came charging at them. Right when he was about to strike, a familiar silver baton parried the swords attack knocking the weapon from the guards hand.

Prince Chat Noir pointed his weapon at the fiend glaring at him. "Don't even think about trying to get your weapon."

Harold gritted his teeth. "Why you little-" It almost seemed like he was about to strike the blonde until Plagg I'm his panther form appeared and growled at the boy making him freeze in his tracks.

Ladybug was also there and was next to Alya as soon as she noticed the shook expression on her friend's face. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah...." Alya glanced up at the brunette. She smiled and rested her hand on his shoulder giving his arm a slight squeeze. "....I am now."

~~~~~~

Harold was arrested for assault, attempted murder and questioned for being an accomplice for Hawkmoth's crimes against the King.

Later that evening Alya was sitting in her favorite spot of the garden twirling a Lily between her fingers.

"I thought I'd find you here."

She looked over at Nino who was coming from around the hedge.

"Well this is my favorite spot, how sweet of you to remember."

Nino smiled and sat down next to the Auburn haired girl. "Are you doing alright?"

"Yeah....I always knew Harold was a jerk, but....I don't know. I guess I never thought he'd try to...." Her words began to drift away and Nino could tell that she was still a bit shaken by what happened. "Anyway....I'm sorry we never got to find that information on your past. Maybe we could reschedule?"

"Hey don't worry about that, even though I am curious to know more about where I came from I'm really not in any particular rush. Also, that whole thing in the library, is over and done with now. That dude's not gonna be around to hurt you anymore." Nino held on to her hand. "I promise. I won't let any harm come to you."

There was a faint blush on Alya's cheek. "You really are something else. You know that?"

Nino chuckled. "I've been told."

It was silent for a moment, Nino kept his gaze on Alya the entire time. He didn't know what compelled him to do so, but he found himself leaning in and his lips were against hers.

When he pulled back she noticed the surprise look on her face and he wondered if he made the right move.

"Uhhh.....s.. sorry....I just..."

Alya took his face in her hands pulling him closer and whispered. "What for?" She then reconnected their lips for a second kiss.

It took Nino a moment to realize what was happening, he then closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around the girl's frame returning her affection.

The thought of finally having his freedom never seemed more sweeter than it did now.

He'd finally have someone to share it with.
