Porcelain : Levi x Reader (Royal AU)

T w e n t y S e v e n : Que Sera, Sera

The next day, you're asleep next to a shirtless Eren when a knock on your door makes you groan. It was way too early for breakfast; especially now that it was delivered to your guys' room instead of in the dining hall, that change had given you the luxury to usually sleep in.

Instinctively, you put the pillow over your head but there's another knock. "Your highnesses, it's Hange." Mikasa shouts through the door and you hear Eren stretch from beside you.

"Let her in." His voice is deeper and raspy from sleep but he seems just as annoyed that Hange is deciding to bother you guys now.

The door opens and you can hear Hange's footsteps step into the room. You can almost sense the urgency in her voice, "Y/N, I need to speak with you."

A groan leaves your lips once more and Eren senses your exhaustion, "Can it wait for the sun to rise?" He asks for you as he sits up. He turns to his side watching the way you burrow deeper under the covers and he doesn't want you to be disturbed.

"It can't. I wouldn't be here if it could so, let's go Y/N. Now."

The way that she says the word 'now' sends a shiver down your spine and the teacher-like command forces you to rise up.

She speaks again, "No need for you to change, we'll be alone."

Hurriedly, you wipe the tiredness from your eyes, put your slippers on, and follow after her down the hall. You walk for a few minutes until you reach her office and she shuts the door behind the two of you. The walk has given you enough time to collect your bearings and you feel much more awake.

Hange sits at her desk and you sit across from her before she begins talking, "I had a premonition while I was sleeping."

"Of what?"

"Historia. I was in her body and she woke up in the middle of the night, taking careful care to make sure that Zeke didn't wake up. Her and Ymir snuck down to the dungeon and tried to bypass the guards. They told her that she didn't have permission to pass but she told them that Zeke had given her permission and if they wanted to be the ones to wake him up and ask they could. They were afraid so they let her through and she went to the soldiers we've been torturing and gave them food and water she was hiding in her dress."

Your eyes widen, "She did what? To people that killed the king? People that tried to kill me?"

"Exactly. She's either the nicest person in the world and feels bad for them or she's showing sympathy because she's not upset at the King's assassination or your attempted one."

"Well I mean... I know she's not my biggest fan but that's low even for her. Especially if we take into account everything, this is enough to make her a suspect in the case. She has access to Eren's room, she knows enough about me to leak information, and she's smart. Not only that but she's about to become queen, she has the power and the connections."

"But what's her motive?" Hange asks not to you in particular but just as food for thought. "Sure you 'stole' Eren from her but is that enough to kill you? Why even kill the king?"

You don't answer because you don't know. There's another question left unanswered as well: If she was the one that took the dagger out of Eren's room, then how did she know he would never report it missing?

"I have no idea but that's extremely suspicious in my book. We can't discount that maybe Zeke really has put her up to it, but, if he did then why was she sneaking around?"

There's so many things unanswered that you can't really put the blame on her just yet. Weirder things have gone down in this castle.

Hange speaks up, "I don't know and I don't know when that premonition is supposed to come true but I think I'll stay up a few nights to see if I can follow her, find out why she's doing this, and if she's talking to them about anything. In the meantime, you need to try and gather as much information as you can, be wary around her, and if you have any premonitions let me know immediately."
