Bratty thief stole my heart

Chapter 13: Stupid king

Hanji's Pov:

"Stupid Levi! Stupid stupid Levi!"

I kept repeating the curses as I grabbed another bottle from the shelf and poured half of it into the small bowl in front of me. It was the same one I used to make the poison and only thought of it made my anger boil like hot water again.

"Stupid damn idiot!"

I stirred the orange liquid and added a few herbs.

"Brainless moron!"

I opened the test glass with the remains of the healing-preventing poison and carefully let a few drops fall into the bowl.

"Grumpy careless douche bag!"

The potion had turned light blue and I put the glass with my older creation away.

"Idiotic short dumbass!"

I mixed the content of another bottle into the potion and it again changed its colour, now to a dark blue, almost like the colour of a sky at night without stars.

"Baka! Baka baka baka!"

I couldn't help but giggle as I shouted random insults at the not present king. I was still furious about what he has done to Eren, but my experiments never failed to lift up my mood.

I quickly shut my mouth as I remembered why I was in my lab. I had to find and antidote for the poison or else Eren will die. Because Levi fucking Ackerman couldn't keep his temper low. I swear it's even shorter than him.

"Why do you never listen, for fucks sake! You're such an asshole Levi!"

I muttered while I filled the serum in a syringe.

"This better works or else Sina will have to look for a new king!"

I had spent the whole morning in my lab to find a way to stop Eren's wounds from bleeding and I had to hurry now. I had been working frantically for hours, not stopping for even a second, but I still felt like I was far too slow. It was almost noon and if the thief's condition still hadn't gotten any better, this would get damn close for him. But if anything had happened Petra would surely have informed me, right? Otherwise I may have to kill her, too.

I snatched the syringe from my table and rushed out of my lab. I didn't even bother to clean up the mess I had made. Tz, Levi can kill me later for that, unless I don't kill him first, of course.

I ran down the stairs, taking two steps at once and jumping down the last four or five. I dashed around a corner and nearly crashed into Mike, who was shutting the door of a room he just left.

"Hanji? What..."

"Sorry, ain't got time. Gotta hurry!"

And before he could open his mouth again I was already sprinting down the corridor. I heard him saying:

"She smells worried, I wonder.."

But I couldn't hear the rest of the sentence because I was almost flying down the next staircase. I swear this castle has far too much stairs!

I was panting heavily when I finally got to the dungeon. This castle has not only too much stairs, it's also fucking huge. Even when running as fast as I could I still had needed more than ten minutes to get from my lab down to Eren's cell. I guess you can imagine how long it took to bring Eren back here every god damn time Levi has beat him up.

I rushed towards Eren's prison, but stopped dead in tracks when I saw who was sitting there aside the boy. King Levi douchebag Ackerman himself. It looked like he had fallen asleep on the chair on the left side of the bed while Petra watched him and Eren from the other side with a weird expression on her face, her chin resting on her hand.
