An Unexpected Love Story~

My

I can't apologize enough

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Armin's POV*

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. The queen requested your presence in the throne room." The maid announced this while knocking on the door.

"Understood, you're dismissed." I replied dismissively. Truthfully, I couldn't care less about meeting with my parents. It's probably just going to be them telling us that we have to make another public appearance and pretend to care. All I really want is to be able to fully explore the outside world. I just wish to live a normal life with my younger sister, Historia. But sadly, I have to stay in this stuffy castle and take over the throne.

I stood from my chair in the library, where I was reading, and walked towards the door. I went to open it when the door opened straight at me. I tumbled back and was about to yell at the culprit when I realized it was Historia."What the hell, sis?" I said, exasperated.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to hit you. I thought we would walk to the meeting together; I just figured you would be in here. Are you okay?" Historia was worried while helping me get up. "Yes, I'm okay. We can walk together." I was finally on my feet. We started walking down the hall, talking along the way. After taking a few turns, we finally reached the room. "Do you know what this is about?" I posed a question to her.

"No, I was just about to ask you." Shrugging, she said.

"I guess we'll just have to figure it out together then." I said, sighing slowly. We opened the double-door room. On the right was my mother on her throne, and on the left was my father. They immediately noticed our presents in the room. "Ah, you're finally here. I know you're not excited about this meeting, but I promise it's nothing bad." My father started "All we need is for you two to go out into the city tomorrow. Make face. You understand, right?" My mother said finishing his sentence.

"What exactly do you want us to do in the city?" I said in a annoyed tone. I hate the city; it's just full of poor people who care about nothing else but their status.

"I'm not exactly sure, but I heard they will be having fashion shows, plays, and a festival. I know you don't want to, but it's very important that you guys are involved in the community. Especially you, Armin; after all, you're the heir." Mother explained calmly.

"Yes ma'am." Historia and I spoke in sync

"Your dismissed." Father annouced. After he said that, we turned and left.

"What do you wish to see?" I asked, turning my head to face Historia while walking towards our rooms.

"I don't really know, but I would love to see the fashion show. But if you don't want to, we don't have to." Historia said she returned my gaze with a soft smile.

"That's okay with me." I said, shrugging and facing forward again.
