tidal (Levi x Reader)

70. freesia

"Ymir could you get more tea?" Historia called over her aide.

IS IT RLLY THT WEIRD IF I DIDN'T KNOW ??

i mean-

DON'T ANSWER THAT

WELL THAT IS YOUR MOTHER IN LAW YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

NOT MY FAULT LEVI DOESN'T TALK ABOUT HIS PARENTS .

HAVE YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO PRY ????

NO WELL- I FIGURED WE WEREN'T REALLY THAT CLOSE

YOU HAVE LITERALLY TOUCHED LIPS ....

THAT WAS ONLY A FEW DAYS AGO

....

I JUST THOUGHT WE WERE BESTIES FOR THE RESTIES .

"I mean I can get not knowing anything about the previous Duchess when you were just a princess but-" Annie trailed off.

LISTEN ....

IM INCOMPETENT

BUT INCREDIBLY SEXY

"I know a little about the previous ducal couple but no one has really told me anything about them," I frowned, thinking over it.

well i know that they're dead

and they had to be attractive if they created levi

and i know that levi hasn't spoken about them- so either they were awful and he wants to forget them or they were amazing and he wants to forget them

"Perhaps the Duke didn't want you to feel pressured to conform to their legacy," Historia hummed. "The former Duchess was prominent in many social circles."

that's great <3

i've socialized with maybe 10 people in the past month

and one of them was the first princess who i've been engaged in passive aggressive hate mail with <3

"Hitch was close to her when she was younger," Annie murmured, "she took over after the Duchess passed."

that makes sense-

that explains why she feels entitled to levi's affection

STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY SHE CAN'T GIVE IT UP

I'M SURE THAT MY MOTHER IN LAW IS AN AMAZING WOMAN BUT SHE ALSO DIED WHEN THE FIRST PRINCESS WAS YOUNG .

IT'S BEEN A WHILE .

"I bet that's why Levi didn't tell you anything about her, those are big shoes to fill," Historia shot me a smile. "People will be expecting a lot from you when you host your first event."

YEAH IM STARTING TO DREAD IT

"Don't worry Y/N! I'll help you- just write me a letter," she beamed clasping my hands in hers.

YOU'RE A GODDESS

"I'm not as well connected as the First Princess but I've been dragged along to enough events, if you need help with the guest list I can assist you," Annie nodded over at me.

ANGEL !!!

"I'll look into organizing something when I return to the Duchy but I have other work I'll need to get to first- thank you both anyway." I smiled widely, already getting excited for what was to come.
