A/N: Look who's not dead. Me! Sorry for the delay. School is stressful, PSATs are tomorrow, and I take my "take-two" DOL drive test on Wednesday. Plus, I'm apart of the staff running the school magazine this year. So I'm busy busy busy!

I'm seriously hoping once Summer hits I will be able to write more, even if I end up getting a summer job. Some of it is honestly lack of motivation. I am always reading fanfiction, never writing it.

Let me tell you about one of my newer obsessions, Daminette, which I seriously don't know how I got into it. I clicked a button for one and fell down a never-ending rabbit hole. Ugh! However, I promise that I won't write to it until I have completed this story!

By the way, Princess Ladybug (Marinette) is now on AO3! It was quite weird to look at those chapters after 1-2 years of not looking at them. My style of writing has definitely changed.

Now, without further ado! Chapter 5 of Miraculous Princess!

Wayzz revealed solemnly that Master Fu made her the Guardian of Miraculous. The Miraculous Princess as Adrien had called her. She had rolled her eyes, but now everything has hit her. Master Fu let go of his memories in order to do that, basically killing himself. Marinette currently had her hands to her eyes, as tears rolled down her cheeks for her former mentor. Adrien had left the room long before the tears started, which was followed by the castle going quiet, as everyone had found themselves asleep. Getting up, Marinette's ladybug tendencies led to her leaving her room and heading out into the palace garden. Both she and Tikki needed the fresh air so that they could calm down. Tikki was just as, if not more than, upset as Marinette. Once outside, Marinette let her kwamii out of her hidden pocket, as the began wandering the garden. The princess had brought her sketchbook, just in case inspiration struck while she was in mourn. The mixture of her tears with her insomnia really messed with her that night, and Kwamii and the holder were out until the sun was just rising above the horizon, which surprised the two. Sharing a look, Tikki went back to her hiding spot, as Marinette ran back into the castle to get to her room, her chambers before anyone noticed. But that was false hope because of course her stray cat was just stirring on her bed.

"Where were you last night?" He murmured, as he was getting into his consciousness, rubbing the exhaustion out of his eyes.

"Out in the palace garden. My insomnia reared its head," Marinette claimed, speaking the half-truth in confidence.

"Y-you have insomnia?" He asked.

"Yeah, I've had it for a while now. Since I started being Ladybug, I think. I definitely noticed it when I started becoming more and more worried about night time akumas. I guess it's hard to break the habit," Marinette explained, as Adrien stood up from the bed and walked over to her. She had to look up to look him in the eye as he towered over her easily. Adrien pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around Marinette's shoulders, while hers went under his armpits and up to grab onto Adrien's shoulders. They closed their eyes, content to stay right there in each other's arms. Unfortunately, a certain fox wouldn't allow that.

"Morning girl!" Alya exclaimed, walking into Marinette's room. Her eyebrow raised in suspicion and surprise. "And good morning, Adrien." Adrien only lifted his head and Marinette groaned at her friend before turning out of her kitty's embrace, to Alya and looked at her in amusement.

"What do you gain from doing that?"

"Uh, absolutely everything! So Agreste, go back to your room," Alya grabbed Adrien and literally pushed him out the door, "Shoo!" then the door was shut behind him, and locked. Marinette was giggling the entire time.

"Now, you need to get ready, the council has already begun to hold me accountable for you, as your Lady in Waiting. But unlike Natalie who will dump everything on Adrien early in the morning, right before school, I will be drizzling it on you before, or give you enough notice beforehand. Today, you only have one thing to do. You have a press conference much later today, to introduce you to the world," Alya claimed. Marinette's eyes widened.

"A...Press conference?"

"Yes. Don't worry, as the amazing best friend slash lady in waiting, I have written something out, and it is small enough that all you have to do is memorize it to the best of your ability, so you only have to look at it a couple of times during the thing," Alya explained, handing her the small speech that was pre-prepared, feeling proud of herself. Marinette let out a relieved sigh.

"Thank you, Alya!"

"You're welcome, girl! I have to go, I'll come to collect you for lunch, right before the conference," Alya instructed, leaving the room, and Marinette to herself. Well, not completely to herself, not that Alya knew that. Tikki came flying out of her hiding place.

"Tikki what am I going to do?! What should I wear?" The young princess cried in distress.

"Don't you have fabric? You could create something fun and new!" Tikki suggested. Marinette's eye lit up, and she pulled her sketchbook out and looked through it for a design. Then, she found the one that she made based off of the miracle box and the kwamiis. She began creating the design, and before she knew it, the dress was finished. It had a sweet-heartline, quarter length sleeves, and a hidden zipper on the back. The main color was brown, with the same ancient design that identifies the miracle box on blooming from her left hip, but it was bursting in seven different colors, cherry red, black, forest green, sunset orange, dandelion yellow, royal purple, and sapphire blue. Each of them to represents the more powerful miraculous. The skirt of the dress went down to her knees, and she paired the dress with brown wedged boots and a Le Vian chocolate diamond necklace. Before getting dressed, Marinette applied moisturizer to her facial skin, then a little bit of concealer and foundation, a red-tinted lip stain to her lips, and completed a smokey eye look. Then, Marinette pulled her hair into a half up half down hairstyle, and she slipped in the dress, pulling it up to her shoulders, and had Tikki zip up the back. Last, but not least, Marinette picked out a vintage crown that was made with black and gold metal and small emeralds and rubies.

"You look beautiful, Marinette!" Tikki complimented happily, twirling in the air, as her holder giggled her thanks.

"She's right," the voice of her boyfriend came from behind her. Marinette turned to face him. Adrien walked up to her, took both of her hands up to his lips, and whispered, "You are absolutely gorgeous m'Lady." Marinette flushed in response. She moved her hands to cup his cheeks, before pulling him in for a kiss. When they pulled away, Marinette finally got a look at what he was wearing and pouted. "What is it?"

"You're outfit. It doesn't match mine," She stated simply, prompting a chuckle from her kitty.

"How would you like to fix that?" He asked her. Marinette thought for a moment, before grabbing leftover brown fabric and the same colors of string that matched the symbol on her hip, grabbed the pocket square, and quickly stitched the symbol into it before refolding it and putting it back into Adrien's pocket.

"There! Much Better!" Marinette exclaimed with a bright smile, which he returned before pulling her into a kiss.
