{ I noticed how some people are confused over Eren's reappearance. If so, read chapter seventeen: under a nobleman's rule. }

"Yes, Levi. See you next week."

I wanted to turn my head, but kept my eyes solely on the large marble doors of the palace exit. Maybe I won't see the Prince again... Eren could learn of a way to successfully manipulate the contract. I could wind up serving him for life...

"Wait."

Eren let out a exasperated sigh upon hearing the Prince's low velvet voice as he leant against two marble doors. I slowly turned to face the silver eyes of my future king. The Prince sat with his thumb under his chin in deep serious thought. I sensed his blatant uncertainty - he's considering the lashings...

"Oh? Is this decision troubling you?"

I've never seen the Prince struggle with a judgment before... Eren tiredly examined his nails before placing his hand onto my head, grabbing ahold of my hair - he leant close to my lips. Don't tell me he's trying to... kiss me?!

"Better hurry. Lashes hurt you'know..."

The Prince immediately rose to his feet, his steel eyes darkening to an intense metal ash. Like sparks of hot steel.

"Stop. Stop that. I wish to change the terms of our contract. I don't believe I specified my wishes correctly."

Eren smiled warmly, swiftly removing his tan hand from my now messy hair and walked back to his original wire seat. I stood beside him, flattening down any loose strands.

"I won't sent my guard away if I'm concerned for her wellbeing - she needs to be in perfect condition if she is to protect my life."

Eren smiled, his eyes alive like waves of the sea.

"I promised I wouldn't hurt her physically. I can still touch her - she's serving me for a week after all."

The Prince seemed dismayed but dismissively shook his head as a low, frustrated sigh left his lips.

"I agree to this. Now get out of my sight."

I knew the Prince's choices were very limited, twenty lashes could possibly kill me, to think he spared me of that warmed my heart a little.

"To ease your worry, the rules are as followed: (Y/N), who's surname is unspecified - will serve Prince Eren Yeager for a full week until midnight - no harm can come of her physically and the contract can be broken if the foreigner is seen with an injury."

Eren slid a small square piece of paper across the table and presented the Prince with a green quill. I glanced at the ink writing and briefly read one sentence. 'Once the week is up (Y/N) returns to her supposedly previous contract holder - Prince Levi Ackerman.'

"Sign there, Levi."

I watched the Prince reluctantly sign his elegant full name in neat curvy handwriting as Eren bowed his head with a caring smile.
