"What do you understand love?...I just met her..." Alberto groaned in embarrassment, clutching his fist against his sea hair.

"But she could be the one to stop the spell! Plus the way you pinned her...that was very harsh.." Ugo shook his head with a tsking sound.

The beast sighed and walked back to the corner, looking over at the rose.

"What happens if she never liked me back?.."

Ugo just shrugged "then it was our best shot...my son..."

Alberto sighed and looked down at Y/n who's searching for her father, he thought of doing something for her.

He went down the tower to go to her.

This surprised Ugo, so he went to grab the others.

Alberto's POV

I don't even know what Im doing right now...I hope I didn't scare her too much...I went up to her where she's still looking for her father.

She turned to see me which surprised me...

"I-I couldn't find him anywhere..." She said in a sad tone...

I didn't wanna tell her... don't know if he left the island...or he could've...died.

Ill just leave those options to the side.

That's when her skirt was stuck on a branch, she pulled off which made a tear...

"Mama Mia..." She whispered to herself and sat on a rock.

"You should take a break..." I said and she looked up at me...

Instead of saying something, she got up and nodded, so I took her back to the tower to feed her some food I saved up.

Ugo pulled the others to the window to see the two finally talking to each other, they understand love does take time, but due to the timing...he needs to find love.

"Wow, she's beautiful." Luca said sitting besides his mother and father.

"I agree sweetie, I bet she is the one to save us all."Daniela looked down at Alberto and Y/n coming back for shelter and a break.

Y/n sat on a hammock where Alberto slept in, he then grabbed a bowl of fruit and handed it to her.

"O-oh, grazie."

Her face turned red...is that bad or is that normal for human girls?...

"Try to comfort her figlio.." Ugo whispered behind my ear...ugh...I don't know how I do it...but I guess I should hug her?

I sat besides her while she eats the berries from the wooden basket.

I feel her shivering against my arm...hmm...

Oh!

I removed my cloth and wrapped it around her.

Y/n's POV

Oh my...I looked over at the monster which appears he's turning red himself.

That was very sweet of him...I nuzzled his cloth while I eat the berries.

"I-Im Alberto...Alberto Scorfano."

He introduced his name.

Aww, what a lovely name..

"Y/n Marcovaldo." I said my name back and I felt his arm wrapped around me.

Its a bit alarming...but I feel safe for an odd reason.

Ugo's POV

"Well bless my soul...that's something that wasn't there before.." I said while Daniela sighed.

"We need to wait Ugo, love doesn't need to be rushed, plus were not sure they even like each other!"

I sighed and pat her back "sometimes it can go fast, but I shall agree, let's leave them be."

That's when we all saw Luca falling to his death but was saved by Y/n holding him close.

Thank goodness...

Y/n's POV

"Wow...thanks!"

Did the tea cup just talk?

"Luca what are you doing?." Alberto asked the tea cup.

"I swear I wasn't watching, I accidentally slipped..."

This feels like Im in a fairy tale story, its kinda cute.

I chuckled from the two and I got up from the hammock "well its very nice to meet you Luca." I told him and he turned red.

Alberto's POV

The way she spoke to Luca, like she didn't flinch...she truly is odd...

For an odd reason I like some oddness.

But I believe she's satisfied with her meal, Im sure she wants to continue searching for her father.

"What do you say we continue the search?" I asked her and she turned to look up at me.

"Yes, of course, lets go!"

So we both make our way back down and went on the search for her father.

--Back to Portorosso--

Ercole made it to Y/n's house with a bouquet of flowers and what's under flowers is a ring.

He made sure his image looks fine and rang the door bell.

To his surprise, instead of the beautiful Bella, it was her father Massimo.

"Oh, Ciao Ercole.." He said in a deep voice.

"Ciao! Is your daughter Y/n here? I have something for her." The snarky catfish said.

That's when Massimo had a worried face.

"Well Im afraid she's not here Ercole.."

Machiavelli looked down on his shoulder.

"It appears ever since I got saved from the island...someone told me my daughter went to any of those islands..." He sounded sad after those words, grabbing his hat.

That's until Ercole had an idea.

"Wait! You should rest those muscles of yours Massimo, I shall find Y/n for you!"

"Really? You'd do that?"

Ercole nodded "of course! Ill bring her back until dinner time!."

Massimo smiled "grazie son..." He shaked his hand and went back inside his home.

However Machiavelli had bad vibes around Ercole, giving him a low growl.

Ercole smirked and walked away from the house.

"So which island would she be located?.." He asked one of the two boys.

"I've heard she went to the one with the scary sea monster..." Guido said with fear.

"Hmmm~ looks like I've got a princess to save! Cicco! Grab my harpoon! We've got a sea monster to slay...~"

--Back to the Island--

Alberto helped move away the branches for you while you call for your father.

"We've been searching forever...its such a small island..."

The creature scratched the back of his head "how about we check the shore? He could be there."

She nodded "good idea!"

That's until Alberto tripped over a rock, grabbing Y/n's arm, both fell on each other having her on top of the beast.

It was a surprise and they laugh.

Then it all went silent when they look into each others eyes, almost having a conversation to their souls.

But stopped when she helped him off the ground. dusting off his clothes.

"Are you okay?" She asked softly, he tried to shake the pain away.

"Im alright, let's check out the shore."

So the two made it to the shore...apparently it was the last area they both searched...

Y/n looked around in fear...believing she is stuck...

"N-no..." She kneels near the rocks, beginning to cry...

Alberto frowned and kneels to her height and gave her a hug.

"Im so sorry Y/n..."

That's when he felt a little flinch in his heart.

It appears the rose loses one pedal.

It surprised the living silverware. It means he's starting to have feelings for the girl.

"You know...I can help you get out of the island."

She looked up at him, still tears running down her face.

He slowly caress her cheek, wiping the tears away.

"Let's make a boat."

Her eyes widen and smiles.

"R-really?! You'd do that for me?.."

He nods and held her hands to lift her off the ground.

"Anything for a bella."

Those words made Y/n's heart skipped a beat.

So the two make their way back to the tower and began building a boat.

To be continued...
