Eyes of the King (Ereri)

Chapter III: Duty

Eren's P.O.V.

The black haired boy and i finnaly arrived at my house. I pulled him inside and started searching for the report that Erwin gave me. "Well, 'Eren' why did you bring me here? Where am I?" he said. I tied him on the chair as fast as i could and pulled out my gun. I need informations.

"What's your name boy?"
"Levi.." he said with a kinda scared expression on his face. Cute.
"Where are you from? And how are your eyes blue? You are royal, aren't you?". Levi looked at me in confusion.
"I'm from Trost.. and what are you talking about?! Im not royal!"

There was something odd here. I've never heard of such place called Trost, neither have i ever seen it on the maps. And his statement that he isn't royal can't be true. The colour of his eyes tells a completely different story. And i have to find out everything. Everyone in the village, and the close villages, knows that only royal people have blue eyes. There is no doubt he is royal.

Levi's P.O.V.

Eren was asking me questions for hours. I'm tired, i want to go home.. . I want to see mom. He thinks i'm royal because of my blue eyes and now. ..he is writing a letter to someone! What is going to happen to me?! Will they hurt me? "Levi, you are going to be the next king of the Maria kingdom". I gasped, as my eyes widened when he said that. "WHAT?! Are you crazy? I'm not some kind of lost king, im 16 and i want to go home!" I yelled.

He untied my hands  and i tried to run away but, he pushed me on the bed and got on top of me.
" Don't try to run away, or you will get killed. People must not know about your eyes, because, if that thing spreads, Grisha will send black knights and they will try to kill you.". I must say i was scared. "Who is King Grisha?"

"Grisha is the leader of the empire across this one. Since the  royal familly dissapeared, he was trying to take over this land. We are trying to fight back, but, its impossible without a king. Don't worry. ..I wont hurt you.".

For some reason, the last sentence calmed me. His emerald eyes were staring right at my soul with no expression but i swear for a couple of seconds, i saw sadness in them. I nodded as he got off of me.

"You look tired,why dont you go upstairs and get some rest?", he said, and turned his back to me. "First doors on the right". I nodded and slowly went upstairs. I opened the dark wooden door and faced a nice room filled with books. It's not a big room but its not so tiny either. I collapsed on the comfy bed and put my head on the soft pillow. Not so long after that, i fell asleep.

Eren's P.O.V.

The boy looked tired so i sent him to sleep. I understand him. .. this must be a big shock for him. I'll check on him later. I  have more important stuff that i need to take care of.

3rd person's P.O.V

Levi woke up from his nap, still feeling a little dizzy after all the stuff that happened. He walked to the window and opened it to get some fresh air, when he saw Eren fixing the gate. The raven haired boy felt his face becoming bright red while he saw Erens sweaty and dirty body on the sun.

"Wow...he looks handsome..". What am i thinking! Embaressed Levi ran back inside and shoved his head into the pillow.

Couple of minutes later, he heard someone knocking on the door, and the tall brunette walked in the room, half naked, making the teens face heat up.
Levi looked at his eyes when he met his. "D..do you need something?.." He asked him while trying not to blush like a little girl.

"Do you want to take a bath, King?". "Don't call me that!" Levi replied quickly. He doesnt like being called that. After all, is he really a king?
 Just because he has blue eyes, does it really make him royalty?
Of course not, he thought. But Eren looks like he has other plans for him.

"So?" said Eren, making Levi snap out of his thoughts. He was still tired and confused from before and he needed some relaxation and the bath was the right place to do so. "Yeah,that would be nice..", levi nodded in agreement. Just when he finished that, Eren left the room as quick as he came in it.

Ten minutes passed, then twenty, thirty after, and so on. Levi was slowly losing his patience. How can just preparing a bath take so long? He got up from the warm and soft bed and looked through the window again.

With slow but harsh steps Eren was walking towards the house carrying two buckets of water from the well. He looked like he is about to faint with every step he made.
Since there's no water in Erens house, he had to carry it bucket by bucket to fill the tub and then warm it. It took him quite some time to do so, but after about an hour, water was finally ready to be warmed up.
