Author Note: Part of the Christmas explosion. Merry Christmas.

I do not own Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.

Enjoy!

Going through the place he once called home as a Prince was plain Bizzar.

In his mind, he was still that guy who didn't even get a newspaper page about him even when he was on Tv because everybody cared about Ladybug and Cat Noir saving the day instead.

When he wasn't running from Akumatised people, Paris was treating him weird.

It was treating him with respect and people actually wanted to hear what a 15-year-old guy had to say.

And then there were the stalkers.

First, it was Chloe and Sabrina, which he expected because they basically spent half their lives in the hotel and were very good in weasling themselves into high profile people's lives.

Then he found Alya serving his dinner and he kept seeing her in the evenings from that point on.

She always made sure to stare directly at him.

Then TVi news was pestering him about going on air for an interview.

And then finally, the Paparazzi, but he can easily ignore them.

He tried to find some way to talk to his past classmates in a way that would make sense for somebody in his position but it's hard to start a conversation when your a prince talking to somebody your not supposed to know.

Before he knew it, he was waking up on Friday morning and who was watching him wake up but the person he called Mother.

He would later deny how much he looked like a child seeing his mother in the flesh again and getting to hug her.

He got prepared for the day and then they had mother and son break time, a time where he didn't even realise that Alya had weaselled her way into morning breakfast as well.

Prince Ali saw her and greeted his mom.

Alya jaw dropped in the background when she found out the identity of the woman he was so focused on this morning.

They spent the day together until she had to go and prepare for tonight's dinner.

Then Nino chilled in his room until he was made to get ready as well with a squad of people.

When he saw his mother, all those hours had been worth it, she was just jaw-dropping.

Truly a queen.

And she made his face go red when she told him how handsome he was.

They got into the limousine and it drove them to the venue.

Paparazzi from all over, including Paris, own ITV news was stationed outside the venue.

Nadja Chamack said. "And here is another new arrival!"

And then she got out and you could feel the silence as everybody was blown away by her beauty.

"Woah, who is that?" She said. "She is stunning!"

And then she noticed the not as stunning but clearly related guy following closely behind the woman.

They walked to the opened door surrounded by security with her.

And then they met the manager who asked their names and they were directed to a table in the large hall.

The number of High profile people here was insane.

He saw the Bourgeois family and looked away.

However, lucky he saw Prince Ali not that far from him but even here, the guy was on a dinner business meeting.

A waiter came to them and they ordered food respectfully.

However, it seems that half the room didn't get the message to not be dicks tonight, because the loud proclaiming of wanting food that was not on the menu quickly hit their ears, but they ignored it.

They ignored it because unless there was a business meeting going on, even nobles silently eat.

Nino continued to ignore it until he noticed that Alya had volunteered to serve and this fat woman took a particular disliking to her for some reason.

Maybe, she didn't like that Alya was a young, attractive headstrong girl who was growing into a young woman while she was a pig in a wig?

The food came and again he tried to ignore this, half the people were being dicks tonight but it wasn't like this was the first time Alya had dealt with a dick people.

But this woman...

She was brutal, the stuff she was saying made the beautifully made meal taste like ash in his mouth.

Nobody was saying anything because they didn't want to get involved with this.

Then he made the mistake of turning around and he caught Alya apologising with a strong face but then she turned around and he could see she was on the verge of tears.

That was what did it for him.

It doesn't matter if he was Nino, Carapace or Xin, he still loved Alya.

You don't make his girl, cry!

So without him realising it, he had taken a jug of water from the table, strolled over to the woman and just tip it overhead.

Coldwater just poured down her fat face and she screamed as her makeup, hair and dress was ruined.

Her scream caught the whole venues attention and the classical music grounded to a halt.

What was going on?

The women continued to scream and Alya looked shocked.

The spineless husband who barely said anything about his wife behaviour all night suddenly spoke up and said. "How dare you! Do you know who we are!?"

He just merely took a bowel of cold custard and poured it over her head as well.

The woman screamed again, and the whole venue saw well this time.

Everybody was taken back, while the magazine and news people in and out of the city began recording this.

"Security!" Yelled the woman. "How dare you! My outfit is ruined! It took me 14 hours!"

But he merely said. "Ooh? That took you 14 hours? You need to fire your glam squad. You look like a pig in a wig"

When the insult hit, the incident went from 'what's going on' to 'oh, snap' level.

Some beef was going down.

Meanwhile, Alya was thinking why a prince seemed to be defending her.

"How dare you!" Said the man.

However, suddenly Nino raised his voice. "No, how dare you."

It was calm but it felt so powerful through the room.

"Do you know who I am?" He said to them. "I am Prince Xin Lodbrok Visconti of the country of Esnye. Friend to Prince Ali of Achu Kingdom and Nino Lahiffe, Paris local DJ and I'm currently dating this fine young girl. So, who the heck are you?"

And the moment, they heard all that, the self-righteous pair paled and he knew right then they were nobles, not Royals.

There was silence, but it wasn't just his title but when he said he was Nino Lahiffe and he could feel shock from Alya and the other Parisian.

He said. "That's, right. The person you have belittling all night is my beloved. And I would love to hear your excuse for your disgusting behaviour towards her"

Both of them couldn't say anything.

He said. "Nothing? Then this is how this is going to go down tonight." He showed a sexy dominating side that Alya had never seen before. "You WILL apologise to her, in front of all these people and even apologise to anybody else you have offended here tonight. If you do not, so god help me, I will track down your exact royal and have your title called into question. If they protect you, I will declare war on your home and your country. Do I make myself, clear?"

Silence.

Dead Silence.

He was dead serious.

He would start a war over a kitchen help.

The woman suddenly started apologising profusely to a stunned Alya.

The man also did too, for not raining his wife in.

Alya took it, after all, what else could she do?

He said. "Good" before he turned to the whole Venue and said. "And anybody else wish to be disgusting to the hard-working people here tonight?"

Everybody was silent.

He then said. "We are supposed to be Nobles, Leaders of the world. People to be looked up to and admired. But this week has been appalling. How does a 15-year-old boy have more manners than the people who are more than twice his age? Don't you feel ashamed? Royal, Noble, it doesn't matter. If the working class decide that they hate you more then taking your money, then who is going to get you out of Paris? Are you going to swim the English channel or walk those miles back home? No? Then show these people some respect!"

Dead silent.

Those who were rude all week, couldn't meet his eyes.

And he didn't realise it, but his people would be proud to call him their king right now.

His mom was proud to call him her son.

He was going to be a great king, one day.

He then said. "No, excuse me"

He turned around and then picked the stunned Alya up princess style.

"Now if you would excuse me, I need to have a long talk with this beautiful girl right here," he said, and then he began walking, he knew exactly where he was going because he had been here before.

He knew there was a storage closest so he went there, entered it, switched the light on and locked the door.

He then put her down and when she was stable, he said, in his Nino's voice. "Hi, Alya"

He felt like he just caused her to have a stroke because her eyes just were bug-eyed and she wasn't moving.

He allowed her to process what was happening.

It took her 10 minutes to come around.

"Nino?" She said.

"It's Xin." he said, still in his Nino's voice. "This is what I couldn't talk to you about. I'm Royalty."

She stared at him.

He gave her some time.

The first thing she said after was. "So when a person tried to kidnap you-"

"They were spot on," he said, making her eyes widen. "I honestly thought nobody would realise it. Since I had no makeup on and hide my teeth and looks. But I guess, somebody was bound to realise I was coming out of Paris VIP section when I'm supposed to be a normal person"

It was Nino's voice but Xin royal speech.

"Nino, this is weird!" She said.

"If you think this is weird, imagine the freakout tomorrow morning, when what I did back there hits international news," he said, he then proceeded to get down on his knees.

Her eyes were wide.

He said, in his regular voice. "Will you, Alya Cesaire. Make me the happiest man alive by agreeing to date the real me and become Princess Alya Cesaire?"

She was dead silent and wide-eyed and then she said. "Hm, I don't know. We should probably be friends first and then-" she saw his face. "I'm joking. Of course, I'll date you! A guy who threatens to go to war over me is a keeper."

She then kissed her on the lips and he kissed back.

God, he missed her.

But if he was going to be with her, he had to protect her.

Thankfully, Royalty had far more pull on protection then most people did.
