"You know I've always thought that the Duchess was admirable," I couldn't help but continue to eavesdrop on the noble ladies sitting at the tables near us.
the ego boost is unreal
"She reminds me of the former Duchess," one of the older ladies sighed wistfully.
well <333
levi's mother do you hear that?
we're both girlbosses
"Have you heard about her sending any invitations out for parties?"
I HOPE NOT
I HAVEN'T
SO
"You really should," Petra hummed, shooting me a knowing look. "Host an event I mean."
yeah maybe i will when levi and i are married for real
"Well I'd like to, I just don't even know where to start," I sighed, taking a bite of the chocolate cake. "Maybe I'll ask Farlan for some help arranging something."
at the very least a small tea party would be nice
there just isn't a lot of nobility in the area around the duchy
most of them would much rather be somewhere warm
"Anyway there's no use thinking about it right now, it'll be a little bit before everything has calmed down."
all my energy is focused on the princess i have no time to think about parties
"Oh my god-"
"Calmed down?"
"She must be-"
The crowd around us erupted into another round of hushed conversations.
WHAT ???
I MUST BE WHAT ??
LET ME KNOW MAYBE ??
"Are you ready to head to the next shop? It's getting a bit crowded around here," Hanji looked around the room and then back at our now finished meal.
oh right we were going to go do some shopping
"Sounds good to me," Petra nodded, standing up to go pay.
OH THERE'S ONE PLACE I REALLY WANT TO GO
"Ah, Duchess Ackerman!" An older woman I didn't recognize called out to me as I stood up to leave.
"Yes?"
"Well I couldn't help but overhear your conversation earlier, I'd like to give you my sincere congratulations."
YOUR WHAT?
"Oh-" I smiled at her, trying to hide my confusion, "thank you?"
WHAT HAPPENED ??
DID I DO SOMETHING ??
SOMEONE EXPLAIN-
A chorus of congratulations and other excited chatter rippled through the room.
i feel like i may have just done something bad
"Let's go," Hanji picked up on my confusion, quickly escorting me towards the door.
HELP ??
"I can't believe the First Princess, the Duchess is clearly pregnant and she still had the audacity to insist on meeting with the Duke. We all know that she's had feelings for him for ages now, the Duke and Duchess must feel so uncomfortable."
WHO IMPREGNATED ME ?
"Should I-" Hanji glanced between me and the cafe.
it's out of our hands
"Don't worry about it, it isn't a bad rumor, I can easily clear up the misunderstanding." I leaned towards her, whispering into her ear.
HOW AM I GOING TO CLEAR UP THAT MISUNDERSTANDING
Hanji quickly escorted Petra and I outside, leading the two of us to a secluded section of a city park.
ok ok ok
think about this clearly y/n
any rumor that paints the first princess in a negative light is helping us, it may be better to play into it.
I DON'T WANT TO BE PREGNANT ???
I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO GIVE BIRTH TO BRING DOWN A PERSON WHO IS EVIL FOR OTHER REASONS
"Are you-"
"-pregnant?" Hanji and Petra asked in unison.
NOT YOU TOO
"No? I don't think so?"
IM NOT DON'T EVEN PRETEND
"Oh thank god," Hanji breathed a long sigh of relief.
don't worry we can still run away together <3
"I think that they would have cute babies," Petra murmured, composing herself. "But I expect you to tell me first if that actually happens."
maybe in the far far future
"I'm not that old-"
"You'd better tell me too, I'll have to be even more careful as your personal guard," Hanji chimed in.
IT'S NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW GUYS
PEOPLE ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO DIVORCE LEVI AND I
I HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS TO WORRY ABOUT
"I mean you never know, the two of you spend a lot of time in that library," Petra teased, wiggling her eyebrows at me.
STOP IM EMBARRASSED
"We're no-"
"Sure thing, don't listen to her lies Hanji."
WE'RE READING MOST OF THE TIME
"I'm leaving both of you behind," I began marching away from the two of them.
"Wait up!" Petra and Hanji ran after me, falling quickly into step with me.
"I'm going to go to a bookstore. Petra there are a few clothing stores in the area if you'd like to go do some shopping for yourself," I explained, retracing the steps that Levi and I had taken a few weeks ago.
it's all on levi's account
"We can do that another day," Petra beamed at me, "that's something I'd rather do with a group anyway."
that's a promise then
"Is this the place?" The three of us stopped in front of the small bookstore Levi had abandoned me in once before.
YES
"Wel-" The boy, Falco greeted us as soon as we walked in, "oh! You're back."
hi
"Reiner? Reiner is back?" Gabi stepped out from behind one of the bookshelves, her expression falling as soon as she saw our small group.
"Reiner? Is that the man we were pretending I ran away with?" I glanced around the small shop, not much had changed since the day I had first visited a few months ago.
"Maybe," Gabi gave me a once over. "So what is it now? Did your boyfriend dump you on us again?"
something like that
