I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.
Enjoy!
There comes a time when a person tries to do a sexy accent, whether it's to woo the opposite gender or just for fun.
He, Nino Lahiffe found that it had become his normal voice the next morning as his change of birth country finally slapped him.
Luckily he managed to get rid of it before he went to school that morning but he knew that if he wasn't careful that Accent will come back.
However, the world seemed to have changed around him ever since yesterday.
For one thing, where ever he went in school he heard students recognise him as the guy who brought the speakers and tipped everybody who helped him.
People were suddenly trying to help him and he was like 'the duck? What are you doing, dude?'
There was also a change in the staff, the principal actually stumbled at the sight of him as if the Mayor had walked through the door.
But the strangest thing that came with people knowing he had money, was how many people wanted him to invest in their ideas.
Adrien was known to be mega-rich, this was no secret, so why was he the one being followed by students trying to pitch ideas to him?
Did they think he would bring thousands in cash to school every day when 20 bucks in coins was more than enough?
Apparently yes.
He also made sure his wallet was always in his jeans pocket, it not, he would put it securely in a steal compartment in his bag that had a lock on it.
Another effect was that Chloe stopped making poor jokes around him.
His country without anybody paying attention quietly entered the world ranking and crept its way through the world rankings.
Half term came and the number texted him 'Would you like to come to Esnye?'
He was stunned, he was planning to spend the week doing DJs and going out with Alya, but going to another country sounded great.
He was hesitant but eventually said yes in the end and my god did that phone number impress.
He was picked up on Saturday morning in a limousine, which then took him to a private plane where he then made to change and was groomed to look more like a fairy tale prince.
He was offered food and then immediately after he ate, his teeth were checked and cleaned, his breath was refreshed and the makeup and spray was reapplied.
For 6 hours he stayed there looking Prince ready and then the plane touched down and when he walked to the door he was shocked to see paparazzi.
Yes, Paparazzi.
It was evening, it was cold and it was raining but these people didn't care.
He thought they were taking pictures of another famous guy but he quickly realised they were taken pictures of him and asking him questions as he walked down the steps.
He was then safely taken to another limousine, inside the vehicle it took him through the country, escorted by the country police of course.
Nino had never felt so important in his life, he felt like he was in a movie.
It was truly hitting him that these people really thought of him as their prince.
While he waited, he saw that Alya was cooking with her chef mom on social media, he turned on the tv in the vehicle and somehow understood the news, he was stunned to find himself on the news.
The image was taken from above, displaying his limousine and protection as he went to the palace.
When the vehicle finally stopped and he stepped out, he was surprised to find an umbrella was put over him to make sure he doesn't catch a royal cold.
The person he saw was a complete stranger but they had the fondest look in their eyes.
"Welcome home, your highness," said the man, as they walked into the palace.
The inside of the palace was just like in the movies, servants everywhere, expensive artwork everywhere, tight security, pictures of him when he was younger.
Wait, what?
He backtracked and was stunned to see a younger him in portrait form and behind him was a woman with curly black hair who had the warmest pair of eyes he had ever seen.
Mother.
He shooked his eyes.
It was like the world had completely rewritten his backstory.
He was taken to his 'old room' and it was like he had stepped into Adrien room, space was that insane.
He was then given warm milk and cookies to help him sleep even though it was like 2 pm in Paris.
He was changed into luxurious nightwear and sent to bed in a bed that he could fully roll in it.
He somehow fell asleep and then the next day happened and his Princely hell began.
He could not do anything but chew now.
He was put on a strict diet and timetable, cameras followed him like they were stuck to his back.
He had photoshoots, guest appearances, parties, interviews.
He attended parties with the ballroom dancing and no Dj.
The only pleasure he got was riding a horse and that was because of a photoshoot.
He didn't have time to join the gorgeousness of the country.
Oh, and he got to go into the sea for a photoshoot and see the magic of green editing which made him look like he somehow could breathe underwater like a merman.
And where was the queen in all of this?
She was apparently out of the country trying to marge the much poorer countries into this country.
Those outside it were seeing how shocking wealthier the country had gotten in a few short weeks and wanted a piece of that pie.
When the negotiation ends and the merger happened, the country will finally be big enough to attend parties that Prince Ali attended.
Those parties...
It would be such a history-making thing for the country and people were already talking about sending him to a party.
He, of course, would love to meet Prince Ali and not be another face in the crowd.
At the end of the week he went back to Paris with some expensive gifts, he had washed all the makeup off in the sink and thank God the whitening treatment was starting to wear off, he didn't know what to do if he came to school with sparkling white royalty teeth.
Alya looked so relieved to see him the next morning.
"I thought somebody kidnapped you. You weren't answering my texts" said Alya.
"Oh." He said, he didn't have time to look at his phone, he came up with something vague on the spot. "What I was doing was really time-consuming and I had to have no distractions" before he said. "But I'll treat you to lunch any day of the week today to make it up to you."
She gave him the eyes but let it go.
The country of Esnye quietly expanded while he continued being Nino and enjoying the freedom that came with it.
But sure enough, he was shoved back to being a Prince and found himself in an expensive suit and in the Kingdom of Achu and entering the hall that a normal person would never get to see the inside of.
Top class people and their group were everywhere.
He found that he was largely ignored while Prince Ali attracted people like honey with a bear.
He received an update from Lila, the girl was telling people about how she was sitting down with Prince Ali.
He blinked owlishly, then he turned to the actual Prince Ali who was not far from home and talking to some people.
He looked back at the post then back at Prince Ali.
He found out something new, today.
Walking around, he immediately got bored and walked behind the large ground and, leaned on an expensive part of the wall and put air pod in his ears and began watching Alya ladybug videos.
He was fulfilling his obligation by being here, it would be a miracle if anybody talked to him while Prince Ali was hugging the spotlight.
So he didn't see Prince Ali notice him because of how free he looked while they also looked to be the same age.
He could have been chilling on that wall all night not being talked to and he would have been the happiest person in the room.
Suddenly he sensed somebody before him and he looked up to find none other than Prince Ali.
He took one earpod out.
"Hello," said the boy.
However, out habit he said. "Sup, my dude"
My dude?
Nino felt like half the party suddenly developed super hearing and turned to look at him in shock.
Prince Ali looked shocked too, he had never been called 'My dude' before.
Nino realised his mistake immediately but he decided to die on this hill he had made for himself after all wasn't he a Prince too?
Prince Pride had been added for him.
"Did you come to chill by the wall too?" He said, continued to be shockingly casual with THE Prince Ali. He then said. "Personally I too would cringe if I was surrounded by that mass of adults. Stand by the wall and chill with me. Do you like music? I got some earphones"
And before the prince could think of a reply to this amazing normal people offer before him, his Chaperone stepped in.
"I have never seen such disrespect," said Prince Ali Chaperone. "Who are your parents? Did you sneak in?"
You might as well have slapped the joy out of the Prince when he heard her voice.
Nino was not intimidated by this person though and he said. "Excuse me, do you know who I am? You shouldn't interrupt a conversation between two members of Royalty"
Silence.
What?
And just like that, the woman face that was prepared to call security froze, Prince Ali looked at him in surprise.
Those nearby looked shocked.
"Allow me to introduce myself," he said, before doing it just like a prince, letting his new accent fly. "I am Prince Xin Lodbrok Visconti of the country of Esnye, nice to meet you." Before he said, "And on what authority, do you have to speak to me like that?"
Silence.
The whole place seemed to go silent, even the people a mile away.
Seriously these people must be half bat. He thought.
And the woman face drained so fast and she began stuttering.
She had offended a Prince!?
Prince Ali did damage control fast and said. "Please forgive her, she's my personal subordinate and is very protective of me. She's never seen you before so she greatly miscalculated your identity"
There was silence.
Would he let it go?
"She's lucky my messed up sleep schedule has drawn most of my wrath," he said, as there was a sigh of relief in the air. "I will give her my name and contact so that this doesn't happen again"
He snapped his fingers and a subordinate appeared like lightning.
"Yes, your highness?" Said the man, as those nearby looked on with wide eyes including Prince Ali.
He then said, in Esyne language. "Give this woman my business information. Then get me one of those little cakes I saw back there"
The world around them seemed to listen to this language nobody had heard before because it wasn't a main one.
It was actually very beautiful to listen to.
"As you wish, your highness," said the man in their language, before the woman was given a premium card with his name and contact number on, she took it.
"Leave," he said to the woman.
"Y-Yes, sorry for the misunderstanding, your highness," said the woman, making a quick exit.
She knew she had been lucky, it could have been so much worse for her.
Nino smiled and said to Prince Ali, no longer that tiger and in new default voice. "So, are you chilling next to me or what?"
The prince paused before stood next to him and leaned on a wall for the first time in his life.
"So, I got this amazing music playlist," he said, as his amazing new status was doing the impossible.
Prince Ali was hanging with a friend at a high-end party and listening to music.
Nino saw the woman search his name on her phone, she looked at him and then back at the professional and very royal pictures on her phone.
When she looked back at him for the second time, he winked at her.
The face he got back was hilarious.
But he checked out and she forwarded his webpage to the others.
The man he had summoned before came back with the cake and he took it.
The man then bowed and walked away, waiting to be called again with the others.
The evening got a lot better for both of them.
And at the end, he had given the prince his actual phone number knowing full well that they won't talk much because of their schedule's.
Oh, and where he was sleeping.
He saw his limousine with the country flag at the top pulled up outside.
"Well, there's my limousine." He said, to the Prince. "You should visit my country one day but give me a heads up, won't you? I'm barely in the country myself."
Then he walked to the limousine and the driver opened the door for him, and he got in.
The door closed behind him and the vehicle drove off to the top hotel in the Kingdom where he spent the rest of the night there.
Prince Ali came to visit him when he was awake and good.
The sight of the prince of the Kingdom coming to visit him had put the shock into the staff and the other guests.
Apparently, the Prince parents realised they had no relations with this country and encouraged this.
He said. "Hey, dude, " fisting bumping the guy.
Everybody around them looked at him in shock and then they went shopping.
Well, he went shopping while the Prince happily tagged along.
Oh, and the heavy security was there too.
Nino looked like a celebrity being caught in a famous shopping place, from his shades to his shoes, everything was high-end.
They sat down and chatted, while the paparazzi snapped from where they could.
Nino was really proving that he too was used to the creepy invasion of privacy.
Then the Prince himself was there to see him off and before many camera's, he hugged the dude and then walked up the steps of the private plane, he sat down on a comfortable seat and his extra people got on as well, the door closed with the last person.
People moved away as the plane began to move.
Then it flew away a few minutes later, but it wasn't heading back to his home country like many believed but to Paris.
A few days later in Paris, Alya said. "Did you hear? Prince Ali made a friend with another prince. They're saying, they get along so well, that he might be Prince Ali best friend"
And he blinked and said with a mysterious smile.
"Really? Tell me more"
What was the world saying about him?
