ROYALTY (AnniexEren)

Chapter 6

Armin, Eren, Mikasa, Jean, and Elena arrived at the castle few hours ago, Eren took Elena while she was asleep to his room for her to rest well without disturbance, her parents already left Sweet Vill some hours before they arrived. With that, Eren couldn't stay in his room because staying together with a cute girl in the same room in the castle wasn't a good idea, unwanted rumors could spread, so Eren decides to go to his own home, it would be more peaceful there.

(Guards POV)
"I heard that the people who attacked the castle were from Aquaria" said the 1st person, "yeah and i heard they are really strong" said the 2nd person, "but thanks to our Prince Eren, he finished them all they ran tripping", said the 3rd person. "I guess there won't be a problem if we run into them now, they must be pretty weak" Said the 2nd person with a smirk.

(Annie's POV)
Damn that stupid Prince, they had us, now all these guards are patrolling looking for us and I'm too weak right now to teleport us back to Aquaria, squatting is all we could do for now. "now what do we do, we are gonna get caught if we make any stupid move", said reiner, is he serious? "the only one who's gonna make a stupid move would be you", i said, angry at what happened back when we were fighting Eren, they had us with a cheap trick, it's fucking annoying, "what are you talking about?, said Reiner with a loud voice, damn he's gonna get us caught,"come on guys, keep it down" said Bert, then i heard foot steps, no its not human, it's a horse, my eyes widened when i recognized who it was, it was Eren, alone at night, it was a good opportunity for us to kidnap him but we can't even if we try, damn Annie what are you? Stupid?.
I then saw the other two, Reiner and Bert whispering, Bert looks unpleasant "what are you two talking about?" i asked, Bert starts to stammer then Reiner spoke up "if Prince Eren saw a helpless little girl laying on the ground at this hour, what could possibly happen?" Reiner said with a creepy grin, what the hell? "i will not...", "not what?, huh?", reiner interrupted me, "he's the prince, you think we can get him now because he's alone?, this is the only thing we could do, you should deceive him, that way finding how to open the basement would be easier " Reiner's actually right, Eren doesn't know what we look like in the first place, but it's a big risk, underestimating Eren is as bad.

Of course Bert was opposing the idea, i could get killed. But we have to give it a try. "no Annie, this is too risky, you could get killed!" said Bert with a concern face, "it's okay Bert, i can handle this", its a good thing Bert always agree with my decision, he didn't oppose it this time. I told Bert and Reiner to find a place in the kingdom to settle without anyone noticing, it is obvious that our mission is going to get longer from now on. I still can still teleport myself to a place where Eren could see me. I stood up, before i left Bert held my hand and pulled me into a hug, it wasn't the first time he did this, it was normal and obvious to me that Bert likes me since we were kids, i just couldn't return his feelings "take care" he said as i disappeared from his arms.

Eren was on his way to his house as he heard something hit the ground, "who's there", he yelled but Annie didn't make a sound, Eren then saw something on the ground, it's like a trap, he went closer while drawing out his sword but unfortunately he saw a beautiful girl wet all over her body, she was injured with torn clothing, she could die if he left her there, "hey?, are you alright?" he said, but she didn't answer, it seems like she's unconscious, he then decided to take her to his house, he picked her up bridal style, it made her open her eyes a little, it was Annie trying not to blush, Eren then put her in front of him on the horse just like how he did to Elena. It was late at night so Eren rode his horse quickly.

Meanwhile in the castle, Zen in his room was thinking about Petra, his dear Petra, he was thinking about why would she leave him, is he not worth being with her?, come on that's not it.

Few years ago he and Petra were lovers, things went perfect between them, but one day she just went off and never came back he thought she was even dead, but when she came to him meeting him at where they usually meet, he was there waiting, waiting every day for her return, when she returned she was already a different person, she intended to kill him, but he was stronger she couldn't dare dream about her winning against him once. Of course he was hurt that his beloved Petra was willing to kill him, she didn't even consider telling him why she left, but he couldn't kill her, he let her go instead of catching her, and he moved on with his life. But why would she come back now?, he was lost in thoughts when Mikasa came in, "Father asked for your presence, brother", she said, he then snapped out of his thoughts "yeah, yeah, be right there" he replied lazily.

(Back at Eren's house)
Eren went into his room and woke Annie up without knowing she was his enemy to begin with, she pretended to be weak but she opened her eyes, "w..who are you?", she said but he wasn't paying attention to her , he was just looking into her eyes, Annie was a beauty she made lost it, "what the hell is he doing?" she thought, "w...what are y.. You doing?", she asked nervously, Eren snapped out of his lewd thoughts, "o..oh, sorry, i mean, ughumm... I'm Prince Eren, and this is my house, no danger will come close to you so don't try to run" he said feeling a bit guilty, "Make your self at home for now, go clean yourself" he said, walking towards the door exit, "I'll explain later" he added.

(Annie's POV)
Just as planned, he fell for it, it looks like things are going well for now.
Now i have to take a bath.

(Time skipped)
When i came out of the bath, i had a towel on, without any cloth to wear i checked the hole room looking for something but i found nothing, oh my god, what am i going to do?, then i heard the door open, it was him, damn I'm totally naked here.
When he came in, he saw me with only a towel on, as expected from a prince, he wasn't nervous to come close to me, (at least he didn't show he was nervous, what a pervert). "uh, sorry i just came in, i thought you were still in the bathroom..", "it...its okay", i interrupted him, stop looking at me and do what you came here to do, stupid prince. "uh, here you go", he handed me out a hoodie?, "i don't have any girls outfits here, sorry about that", he said, "put those on at least, they'll even cover up to your knees" he added and went out again, this is the most embarrassing moment of my life, no one had ever saw me like this.

Eren was in the living room, trying to rest, "she's quite beautiful, seeing her outside and pretty injured, i guess she's lost and i bet she must be starving too" Eren thought as he stood up to get some fruits from the store, then he heard some noise, it was raining outside.
Few minutes later, Eren was sitting on a couch when Annie Leonhardt came down the stairs, when she came closer Eren could see her full view, she was covered by only an oversized hoodie that covers down to her knees, she was so hot he couldn't take his eyes off her , he then came back to his senses telling her to sit on the other couch, doing that "you can have some fruits, i know you are hungry" he said, "th....thank you your highn..", "you can call me Eren", he interrupted her, "thank you for saving me" she said as she picked an apple, "it's nothing, that's what a prince should do" he replied.
"By the way, where are your parents" he asked, "crap, think of something, think of something.. " Annie thought, "uh, well, i lost my parents few weeks ago" she replied with a sad face it made Eren pity her, "s..sorry i asked" he said, Eren thought through the situation, he wasn't going to leave her alone after today and he probably shouldn't take her to the castle, "i know you don't have any place to go to, you can stay here as long as you want" he made his decision, "bu.." Annie was about to speak but he cut her off, "but don't go out without my permission" he stated, "great!, this is going to be difficult" Annie thought.

Few minutes after Eren went up to his room to get some rest, Annie was restless, trying to figure out how to go through with the plan in this situation, she then thought of something, she saw a key hanging on Eren's neck, what if it was the key to the basement, maybe instead of the senior brother to keep it, they might deside to give it to Eren. Annie teleported to his room and walked towards his bed, he was in a deep sleep, she then took the opportunity to try to steal the key, she stretched out for the key trying to get it off him, she successfully touched the key but it shocked her, that unpleasant feeling made Eren wake up from his sleep.
