an: i am so so sorry for the late update, i've been super busy with school :(

[Name] had seen many attractive men in her life, she was a princess after all. Suitors were dangled in front of her face nearly every day back in Paradis, but she'd never seen a man quite like Eren Yeager.

The moment he stepped into the great hall, his presence demanded attention. With his shoulders back, his chest out, and his chin held high.

When she actually got a good luck at him she felt her face begin to grow warm.

He was handsome, far too handsome.

Eren Yeager towered above most of the men in court, with long brown hair,  tied in the back of his head, sun-kissed skin, and bright jade-colored eyes that matched his father's.

He walked with wide and steady steps until he reached the middle of the room, where everyone could take a step back and truly marvel at his beauty.

There was a certain gleam in his gaze as he got down on one knee and bowed his head at the king, a gleam that made the princess's stomach flip.

The king wasted no time as he greeted his son with open arms and a boisterous laugh, and she couldn't help but notice the difference in which he treated each of his sons. In the entire month, she'd been in Marleyan Court, she'd never seen Zeke get such a warm greeting from his father.

Ymir hadn't been lying, Eren Yeager was most definitely the king's favorite son.

"Let me look at you, boy." King Grisha bellowed as he held his son's face with both hands, his own face riddled with pride, as he kissed the top of his son's head. "How long has it been?"

Eren gave him a wide smile, revealing a perfect set of white teeth. "Far too long, father."

The king laughed as he let go of his son. He picked up a golden chalice off the table behind him and lifted it high in the air, the wine spilling out of the cup as he turned to look back at the crowd.

"To my son!" The king yelled.

The crowd erupted with cheers and applause as Eren Yeager gave everyone the same cheeky grin he gave his father.

She was about to turn back and whisper something in Ymir's ear, when she felt a strong hand wrap around her waist.

"Come, we must greet my brother," Zeke said, with a slight edge to his voice.

"Zeke," she leaned into his ear. "You never told me you had a brother."

He rolled his eyes, "I never thought it was worth mentioning."

It wasn't worth mentioning he had a brother?

When she finally close enough to Eren, she felt her throat go dry. Eren Yeager was just as handsome up close as he was standing from afar, if not more so.
