His Final Wish (Levi x reader)

chapter five.

Levi's pov

I watched in agony as the party drags on. I was definitely not one for extravert occasions such as this, I much preferred to be locked in my study exacting the plans I had for when I became emperor.

Thankfully for myself, and for the Ackerman estate the emperor Grisha does not require the marquess to defend our land for the Time being, but that could easily change like the wind.

I watched as my perfect little specimen y/n stood off in the corner, watching me as I stood next to the man who's heart she was trying to encapsulate.

She was truly a force to be reckoned with, her beautiful eyes had the most unique color to them that the queen herself would envy if she were to ever catch glimpse of her. Of course she knows of her beauty, which is why she's trying to harness it for Eren.

I cannot allow her to be with him, not just for my own selfish desires, but because if she were to become his wife, I would have to watch as her blood spilled along with his.

As if on cue, Eren clasps his arm around my shoulder, his tooth smile ever present on his face as he looks out at the crowd of people dancing.
"One day these will be my subjects..." He whispered as he sighs.
"I only hips I can find a queen by then..." Eren whispers as I brush his arm off of me.

"What about Mikasa?" I ask. Mikasa was one of my only blood relatives that I didn't care about. She left the house of Ackerman as a child and was adopted into the royal family to be a back up wife for Eren.
Since I have zero interest in sparing anyone from the Jaeger royal family I planned on killing her first.

"Mikasa... Come on old friend you can't be serious..." Eren sighs and shakes his head.
"I grew up with her, she's more like a sister to me than a potential bride. And not to say she isn't beautiful, but I have my ideas set on a finer rose fit for the throne." He looks around the room untill he spots my claim. She sips her champagne in silence as her eyes dart around the room. I feel anger swirling aroujd my stomach as Eren oogles the woman I set my sights on.

"What have I told you about that dastardly woman?" I ask in an attempt to draw him away from her.

"My illegitimate brother thinks high of her." Eren responds and sits against his throne, placing his chin in his hands as if sizing her up like she were the final dish on the table.

I didn't care for the way he looked at her.

"And your brother would do anything for the throne." I remind Eren.
As much as Zeke and I were alike in that sense, I didn't care for his way of going about things. It's clear to me, that he's the reason y/n is even pursuing Eren.

Her parents had made no moves to marry her off untill now, I made sure of it.

"Well.. that's true. But I think she's quite lovely at least. I would like to get to know her better."

I did not respond, and thank whatever higher power was up there when a few noble men and women approach Eren, drawing his attention away from my claim. I take this opportunity to disappear into the crowd in search of her. When I find her, she's gazing out the window at the setting sun, the warmth from the light bathing her skin in it's amber glow. She was truly a beautiful woman. But she would never admit it if she were asked.

"The sun could kiss me a thousand times, and yet I would never complain. I would only wish for more." I whisper in her ear as I approach her from behind. The little whimper she made at my sudden presence made it worth it.

"M-my Lord." She tried to courtesy but I wave her off.
"No need for the pleasantries, I know you're angry with me." I smile as I watch the mask slip from her face and her true feelings show.
