Hello Guys! Sorry for the wait. I hope you ain't angry at the silly me and also hope that no one is planning murder to my innocent body. (Scary)

Also, I forgot to mention that Lila have gone back to Italy after what happened between her and the heroes of Paris.

This will be a long chapter as an apology to all of you. Let's go back to Marinette's point of view.

I pick one cookie from the plate and chew on it. The butter melting in my mouth and the sweetness blends the taste of saltiness the same time. Alya moaned at the taste of the buttered cookies. We sat here while the others are taking a rest while it's my break time.

"This is awesome, girl! Could I take back some home?" Alya asked me. "Sure! I'll ask the chef to make you a box of it that you can take back to Paris," I smiled.

A maid comes in the room that has an indoor garden that I requested in my 10th birthday. She pours us some tea and put the pot down the table. "Thank you. You may leave us," I told the maid and she bowed before leaving us to ourselves. At last, we are alone.

Should I tell her? This is the only chance I have. I have to grab it.

I took a sip of the tea and recognize it as camomile tea. What a pleasant tea. "So, where do I start?"

This is it.

"You start at any beginning. As long as you tell me everything about you that I didn't know," Alya said and sips on her tea. Without any hesitation, I spoke the only thing I wanted to let out. Alya spits her drink and looks at me.

"Sorry but are you saying that you're...Ladybug?" Alya nervously asked. I nodded. She holds her head and closed her eyes in disbelief. "Ladybug...Princess...best friend...Oh my gosh! Wait, my brain is still processing everything you told me."

Surely that anyone told you that you are a superhero and a loyalty makes a person head explode. It's a major pain in the arse. Luckily, her head didn't felt that much pain but happiness.

"As a prince-no, Ladybug-as your best friend, I want you to promise me that you'll keep that as a secret about me as Ladybug. Promise me, Alya," I sincerely said.

I don't want to lie anymore. But I had to protect everyone around me.

"I lied and kept this from everyone even you was to protect you from danger. Please, Alya," I took her hands and clasped it into mine. She smiles warmly that I admit that I missed. "Of course, Mari. What are best friends are for? You are a sister to me. Even though that you have a lot of other identities, I will always keep them and understand you," She promised that made me tear up a lot. I cried in her arms and in that moment I realized how lucky I was. I'm lucky that I lived with this people around me.

"Let it all out, girl," She hug me while I cried for more. "After crying, let's finish these fabulous snacks in front of us before going back to the tour again?"

At this point, I wiped my tears and laughed at her silly comment. I composed myself back and sit well mannered. "Geez, Alya. You should have told me to finish this before I cried. Let's finish these snacks and meet the others by the garden. I'm sure Nino and Adrien are looking for both of us."

The more I keep it from everyone. The more everyone gets closer to it.

"Where were you two? You should have seen what Alix and Kim done when you were gone. Dude, the two of them race from your room to the garden!" Nino told us when we got back from our tea party. My eyes looked big as a frying pan when he said that they do a competition again.

I hope those two didn't break something important. I cringed. I don't want to sit in front of Nǎinai and hear her lecture till morning.

"Where are Alix and Kim?" I glared at Nino. His face contorted to fear and Adrien looked shocked and get behind Alya. He shakily point in a direction and I walked to the two fighting again. I bet my nose is steaming off a smoke and I inhaled. I grab the two from their collars and glared at both of them. Their eyes pop in fear.

"You two! Nǐmen liǎng gè dǎpò shénme ma? Wǒ gàosùguò nǐ yǒuguān nǐ de bǐsài?!" I snapped at both of them. They both looked confused when Adrien came and translated everything to them. Adrien walked to the side and let me calm down before looking at the two.

"We are sorry, Marinette. We didn't break anything of valuable here," I sighed at Alix's apology. I hug her in my arms. "It's fine. Please, don't make me worry again and don't do it again." I said.

After that, I gathered everyone and let them see the grand ballroom hall that is large and can fit 2,500 people inside. The walls are painted in white and gold linings. A grand entrance staircase where we entered was cleaned and swept by the maids. They were amazed by the chandeliers that hung in the roof wall of the grand ballroom. They are made of 24 carat gold and diamonds. Quite scary if it fell because you have to pay and customized one that you ruined. It's worth 30 million dollars each of the chandeliers. Chloe can't afford something this expensive. She has to dig in her parents account and her own account just to buy those chandeliers.

I know she has 24 carat gold bathtub and other stuff. But including rare diamonds in it shall fix the prize of these babies. I let them wander around for an hour and we travelled by the indoor swimming pool in the castle. At first it looks like a simple large room with a small water tub in the side of the room. A maid came and gave me a palm sized remote. I click the blue button and the empty room started to transform. The floor slowly goes down and water started filling it up.

"Holy- Dude! This stuff is so cool!" Nino exclaimed. Adrien smiles excitedly at the transforming pool. I almost died in his smile but I hold myself to the floor. "I only have a large pool which is boring. But this pool is large at the same time it's awesome!" He said.

Chloe just glared at it and never said anything since the start of the tour. Someone's jealous of something. "Hey, Marinette! Can we swim in the pool?" Rose asked. "Sure! I have prepared swimwear for you all to wear. Please get changed!" I told them with a smile. All of them cheered and changed in the changing room beside the comfort room. The maids brought up the swim wears while Shu gave me my swimsuit and Alya's swimsuit that I made just for her. I also lend some of my swimsuits that I made to my other classmates that they can pick from the designs sincerely made by yours truly.

I wore a two piece swimsuit in pink with white dots. It made my slim figure look majestic and beautiful. Alya wore the two piece swimsuit with floral designs that has a simple touch of old swimsuit types. Alya look at me with wide hazel eyes. "Oh my gosh! You got some nice abs! Oh la la, I bet Adrien would stare at you like some prey ready to be eaten! You have a beautiful cute butt! I'm so jealous of you!" She almost screamed in glee. "I think being a hero paid off a good amount on my body on some other way," I muttered.

I should have just worn my one piece.

"Oh yes! It did pay off too much that I wanted to be a boy to marry you!"

"Shut up, Alya!" I laughed.

We both exit the changing room to see some of the boys swimming their way in the pool. Few girls are drinking shakes given by the maids and others are with the boys in the pool. Their eyes turn to stare at us and it felt like I'm naked. I'm nervous. I've never shown anyone my body in swimming classes because I always wore one piece.

Don't stare at me please. It feels uncomfortable.

"Shit, Marinette. How did you get those fine meals?!" Alix exclaimed. "I've never seen you workout or anything."

"Ah...eh, I workout...secretly," I nervously told her. Sweat rolls down from my forehead. She looks at me with surprised eyes and chuckles.

"I saw someone there looking at you. I think my bet is right," Alya whispered to me which Alix heard. They both wear smirks and my fear crept on me.

Kill me now.

The two girls snickering in my back after telling me to do it to Adrien makes me to want to back down and faint in my own bed. My cheeks are turning into the shade of tomato right now. He was by the pool talking to Nino. Nino was pulled by Alya and left us. He stares at me intently. His body shown out of the view and it almost made me backed down seeing it. That abs he have is overkill. It was like they were carved perfectly like from the Greek statues. I gulped.

Help me God.

"Adrien, can I help you?" I asked while leaning at him showing off my cleavage to Adrien. Adrien who broke from the spell of his staring, look down to see it and blushed. "Ah-eh..." His forehead is sweating nervously. His eyes look troubling and didn't know where to look.

"Are you sick or something? Are you alright?" I put my palm on his forehead and felt it a little hot. My boobs are in his view. He was about to reply when blood came out of his nose.

Nosebleed?!

"Adrien, your nose is bleeding!" I panicked. He goes to touch it and panicked as well. Alix was laughing his head off. Alya looked surprised and Nino didn't know if he'll laugh or not. I carry Adrien like a bride and everyone looked at us surprised. Their eyes bulging from their sockets from what they saw.

"She carried...Adrien!" And Adrien fainted right into my arms.

I think I overdid it. Did I?

I put Adrien by the floor and slap him to wake up. Shu came with a medical kit for his bleeding nose. Adrien wake up from his state weakly. "I overdid it, did I?" I asked Alya who came by my side laughing.

"What's funny?!"

"Yes! You overdid it. More like killing him! I didn't know that you had it in you!"

"Eh?!"

"Marinette! How strong are you really are to be able to carry Adrien?!" Kim asked me. My classmates gathered around me except Chloe and Sabrina who were in the side seating by the chairs. Boys and some girls wanted to know my secret. I'm afraid I cannot let them have it.

"How did you do it?" Alix looked at me with sparkles in her eyes.

I didn't know that I can pull it off even in my civilian self.

"I don't know? Maybe I got it from carrying heavy sacks of flour and other heavy objects since I lived in a bakery," I told them. Evil smiles appeared from their faces and I'm not ready for what they are planning right now.

After winning like a pro, they all look down seeing that my strength is something not to mess with. What we just did was arm wrestling and all of them failed to win against me. Adrien stood up from the floor after recovering and his smile is making me uneasy. It was the smile of revenge.

ALYA! ALIX! This is your fault!

"Why don't you..." He leans in my left ear and shiver run up from my back from his breathe. "...try me, Marinette?"

Alert! Alert! I'm going to die!

"Are you sure that you're a princess?" Adrien asked while he puts his right arm ready to win against me. "I-I am," I nervously said.

"Let's begin shall we, princess?"

We link our hands and our muscles bulging from our arms. Our classmates are looking out who wins and who will lose in the arm wrestling. I focused on winning and what shocked me the most is that he winked straight at me. Blushed crept up from my cheeks and that's when I felt my hand is going down. I instantly glared at him and he looks at me innocently. I put back my strength and we are tied again to each other.

After a few moments, Adrien leans on my right hand and kisses it. I internally screamed and my hand losses its strength making me loses the arm wrestling for the first time. Our classmates looked shocked at what happened and it's very rare sight. Adrien won and I lose it.

He leans on my left ear again and whispered. "Let's do it again, princess!"

Isn't that very familiar?

"You're a cheater!"

"Oh, but there weren't any rules laid out," he backed up. There weren't any rules in it indeed. "Just accept that I meow fair and square!"

Did I really hear a pun from him?

"Next time, I will win," I declared.

"Next time you do it, I'll make sure that I will give it back to you," he whispered and left to swim in the pool. All of us weird out of this new Adrien that just won. It was scaring all of us.

"Hey, did you hurt his head a while ago?" Nino asked me. I shake my head. "I NEVER KNEW THAT MY DUDE GROWN UP SO FAST LIKE THAT AND YOU KNOW WHAT?"

"What?" Alya asked.

"I don't know if I'll be either scared or proud for my son?"

Both of us face palmed at his words.

The arm wrestling really happened in real life. It happened to me in 11th grade. We have a mini fair and I won an arm wrestling with a guy younger than me. My boy classmate was with me that time while looking around and challenges me. We were both tied when he kissed the right side of hand making me cringed to death. I promised myself to never accept a challenge from him ever again. xD

Hope you like the new update!
