Levi's PoV
Being a prince is tiring, especially when your father forces you to get married.
I don't mind getting married, but I want to choose that special person, not my father inviting everyone to a royal ball for me to choose one. I mean, who just gets married after meeting in one night? That's stupid if you ask me. Yet my father is king, so he makes the orders, even for me. This is why I hate being a prince.
My father ruled the Survey Corps Kingdom, while I just sit there doing everything I want. Our kingdoms symbol were a blue wing and a white wing over lapping each other called the Wings of Freedom. Our kingdom was a happy one, but we were currently in war with our enemy, The Titans. The Titans were another kingdom from a far way land trying to take over our land. They had a Titan as a maskot, obviously. But beside everything else, the whole kingdom worshiped their king. King Smith. They were always shouting, "For the Glory of Humanity!" Must be annoying to hear all those screaming people.
We were currently arguing about this whole royal ball buisness during dinner, and boy did I piss him off. "You have no choice, Levi! You are now at age for you to become king, but in order to be king you need a bride! Why can't you understand that?" I groaned as I took a sip of my tea and rolled my eyes. "I will get married, father. But I want to fall in love with that special person! It's not fair if I just get married with a complete stranger!"
My father sighed and dragged his hands down his face. "You will fall in love! That is why I had arranged this ball! For you and a nice young lady to hang out and get to know each other and fall for each other. It's as easy as that!" I 'tch'ed and ate my potato salad. "Father...but you do know that I am, uh, not really into women." My father threw his hands in the air and yelled at the top of his lungs. "I don't even care! Just get married already!"
"But it's just a ball. And can't get to know that person in one night then get married the next day! Fine, arrange the ball, but I will not. Not. Get married the next day. Give it time!" My father let out a big whine while he took a sip from his wine. "I'm done. We will talk about this tomorrow. I will send the invitations out tomorrow morning. Goodnight." I watched as my father stood up from his chair and walked away, the maids cleaning ul his mess.
I decided to head to bed, too, since it was already getting late. As I stood up, the maids rushed to my side and bowed down to me. "Have a good night, your highness." I nodded at them as they cleaned up. It took forever to get to my room, there were too many hallways and doors. My room was massive. It was almost like a house it self. It had a bathroom, a big closet, a bed with a beige canopy, alot of drawers, and a body size mirror. The floor was soft black carpet and the walls were a blood red.
I changed into my royal suit into just a simple sleeping robe and jumped to my bed and dozed off into my own world.

Eren's PoV
It was the end of another hard working day, and I was just sitting on my bed playing with my friends.
My friends were actually animals. I know, call me crazy, but my step father never let me talk to anyone, so I only had the animals from the barn. My step father married my mother a few months ago before she died of cancer and here I was with him and my two step sisters, Mikasa and Petra.
I miss my mom. I miss my dad. But they were all gone. My Mom and Dad loved me very much, and so did I, but then my dad got in a fight and got killed. My mother then met a man named Grisha, and he was very rich, and my mon fell in love with him and got married. We moved in with him to his house, where I met my two step sisters. They were rude and treated me like a run away dog. I've heard rumors about them from villagers that pass by that those two were the most beutiful in all the land, which they were.
The my mom was about to die and told me I was very handsome, and to always be kind and brave. I never forget those words my mum told me. Ever since then, my 'family' treated me so horrible. They never gave me enough to eat, they made me live in the attic, and they never give me new clothes. They treated me like a servant. I was nineteen now, I don't need to do this, but I didn't know what to do so I just stuck around here.
My dog, Spencer, jumped to my lap as I petted his hair. He started licking my face and hands as I laughed. "You can stop now, Spence! You're getting me all slimy, who knows what Mikasa and Petra will say this time if they saw me like this!" I chuckled and playfully tickled him. He jumped back off to chase a squirrel he spotted out side. I chuckled as I watched him run free out side.
My step father never let me go out in the village unless I was with Mikasa or Petra, but they never take me out unless they were going shopping and needed me to carry their stuff. I've always wanted to go out and explore, but I couldn't. I then heard loud screams from downstairs and rushed to where the screaming was.
I rushed to the kitchen one to find Mikasa and Petra holding hands jumping up and down with smiles on their faces, and Grisha smiling at them. "What happened?" Mikasa and Petra's faces turn to me with their wide smiles on, but Grisha's smile turned into a frown when he saw me. "OMG!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY ALL INVITED US TO THE ROYAL BALL! PRINCE LEVI IS GOING TO FIND SOMEONE TO GET MARRIED! SQUEE!!!" A smile spread on my face. "The one and only prince Levi? That's awesome!" I have always wanted to meet the prince! I've heard he was very handsome and all the women go crazy over him. They both nodded and started jumping up and down again and handed me the invitation.
For all,
There will be a grand royal ball tomorrow night for our highness, Prince Levi Ackerman, for he will choose a special someone to be his only true love and get married. Every one is invited to the ball. We'd appreciate it very much if ye shall come.
Sincirously, The Survey Corps
"Eren. I want you to join the girls tomorrow morning to the village for them to buy anything that they need." I nodded and scratched the back of my head as I asked Grisha. "Um...i-is it ok if I...um..buy something for me...too?" Grisha only smirked and chuckled. "Hell no. Besides, I don't even think you are going. You have to much work to do." I slowly nodded as I headed back to my room.
I sighed as I jumped on my bed and closed my eyes. I then felt I lick onmy cheeck. I open my eyes and see Spencer on my bed with his head tilted. He can sense that I am sad, so I sat up from bed and petted his head. "It's okay, boy. There is still hope I can see the prince one day, right? Don't worry about me." Spencer licked my face and layer down next to me. Soon, I felt fast asleep.
