This Love Is Forbidden

5: 2nd Visit to The Town

"Wow, the horses here are really tamed." Said the brown haired boy, who sat across Levi in the carriage on the way to town.

Erwin sat at Levi's side, and both he and Mikasa just glared at eachother, as if daring the other to even talk to the opposite prince. Levi and Eren noticed the tension between the two, and decides to ask about the girl who is supposedly French.

"So, prince Jäger, is Mikasa your body guard or just a sister?" He asked.

Both Eren and Mikasa turn to him, and Mikasa shoots her glare to him, but Levi's too good at that game, and his gaze pierced right through hers, making her look away, so he could focus on the German prince's answer.

"She's just my adopted sister, though since we saved her life, she wants to help a lot and protect me." The green eyed boy answered.

Levi raised a brow and figured he'd get her back for calling him so short.

"So an overly attached sister." He shot at her, and her gaze turned dangerous, but not enough to phase him.

They're the weakest to be hurt by words. He always thought, for it was his dad who taught him that.

"I may look weak but I can slice your flesh with one swing of a sword, hikui hito." She warned, her tone very stern.

Levi raised a brow. So he and Eren aren't the only bilingual ones; this girl speaks Japanese.

"How did you learn that language?" He asked.

"I'm part Japanese. Before my parents died, my mother spoke the language fluently and taught me. I've been learning from the books that I got from the time we visited Japan." She answered.

Wow, that was the most she talked. Levi looked at her before looking back at Eren.

"Looks like we'll have fun insulting eachother in our native tongues."

When they arrive, they step out of the carriage and Levi saw the three men from earlier, making him cringe. Erwin stood next to him on his right, and Eren stood on his right, while Mikasa stood beside Eren. Erwin heard a voice call out to him, and turned to see Mike, another skilled knight, walking towards the four.

"Hey, Mike." Erwin greeted.

Mike smiles and shakes Erwin's hand, "Hey, brother."

He then turned to Levi, and bowed, "Hello, my prince."

Levi nodded and told him to rise, "Good afternoon." He replied.

Mike smiled and looked at the other two, and as always, begins to sniff them. He sniffs Mikasa first, mumbling notes to himself. Mikasa backed away and snapped her gaze to Levi.

"Hey, tell your dog to stop sniffing people. It's creepy and invades personal space." She spat.

"That's why he's one of the most trusted. His nose is sharp so he can sniff out unwanted presence and what else." Levi shrugged.

Mike nodded and moved to Eren, taking a sniff and widening his eyes.

"You." He shot at Eren.

"M-Me? Do I smell dangerous, sir?" Eren said, with slight hesitance in his voice.

Mike shook his head, and continued to smell Eren.

"No, it's just that you smell like the freshness of a forest when it finishes raining. The mix of rain and nature is truly an intriguing scent." He says, adoring what he just described.

Levi chuckled and pulled him away.
"Cut the poetry, Mike. You're making him uncomfortable." He joked.

Eren smiled and tilted his head to the side and in curiosity, asked, "What does he smell like?" Pointing to Levi.
