TPP
Today was the party before the ceremony, and Erwin was bummed the hell out. He wanted to move Levi up to a yellow this morning but he was simply no where to be found. His tracker says he's still in the palace but it doesn't disclose where in the palace. Marie sat next to him and caressed his cheek.
"What's wrong, Erwin?"
"I can't find Levi. I think something bad might've happened to him." He explained, leaning into her touch. She looked around to make sure no one was looking. They had become best friends, and she wanted him to know she was there for him.
"Hey, I'll tell you what." She said.
Erwin lifted his head and raised an eyebrow. "You go look for him. I'll cover for you." She smiled.
"Are you sure?" He asked, straightening his posture.
"I'm positive. Go, and hurry." She rushed him. He smiled softly and ran out of the ballroom, searching for Levi.
He tried the throne room first, then the dungeons, then all of the dorms. The only place he didn't check was the bathrooms. He went to the bathroom closest to the throne room, confused on why it was locked. There was no reason for a bathroom to be locked if there were stalls. He took out his key and unlocked the door, opening it.
"Oh my god, Levi!" He shouted.
-~-Petra's POV
Last night, I saw Oluo, Gunther and Eld follow the blue into the bathroom. The blue never came out, but I assumed he went out the other door. My assumption was debunked today when I saw the Prince run out of the bathroom with the blue in his arms. I narrowed my eyes and searched the palace for the three stooges. I stomped over to them, who greeted me politely. I slapped each of them so hard it left a mark.
"What the hell Petra??" Oluo shouted.
"As you must know, violence among servants is forbidden." The boys faces went pale.
"P-Petra...you've been promoted to white..."
"Good observation. I'm sure you know that means I have the power to strip you of your titles and make you start all over again as a yellow." I threatened.
"Listen, Petra--we were only trying to protect yo-"
"Silence!" I shouted. I knew the boys were scared. They had worked so hard to gain their spots, and now it was all being stripped away because of some blue.
"Hand me your keys." I ordered.
"Petra plea-"
"Now." I cut him off. They handed me their keys with shaky hands.
"You will start as yellow's tommorow. Now go back and attend the party." I ordered, walking over to the King's bedroom to return the keys and retrieve new uniforms.
-~-TPP, with Erwin and Levi.
Levi woke up to a nurse dabbing the blood off of his face. He swatted her hand away and looked around to see an anxious Erwin.
"Levi!" He exclaimed, rushing to his side.
"What happened? Who did this to you?" He asked hurriedly.
"What? N-no one Erwin." Levi didn't feel like being a snitch today. "I slipped really bad on some water. I'm fine though, really."
"Yeah? Then why was the door locked? You don't have a key." Erwin rebuttaled almost immediately, as if he was waiting for Levi to give a lame response. Levi knew he was caught and sighed.
