The Ring

CHAPTER 12

YOUR POV

Mornings were never fun at my old castle but now a days I always anticipate waking up to seeing my one and only true love, Levi. But we cant sleep in the same room, Erwin said it was against the rules of the kingdom and was looked down upon, so I'm stuck sleeping in my room again. Lola and Lucy are coming to my room again to wake me up and get me dressed and ready for the day, so its fun waking up again.

Mary has been staying in a spare room a couple rooms away from mine, usually I'll go and see her in the morning," Would you like to wear this?" Lola asked. I nodded at the beautiful green dress, it was long and was sleeveless but still formal. When I was dressed I gave Lola and Lucy a hug thanking them and strolled down to Mary's room," Mary? Are you up?" I asked knocking softly. Just as I did Mary answered," I'm up [name], please come in.".

  I smiled and opened the door," Morning Mary." I greeted. She rose out of bed and I gave her a sweet hug," I missed you so much." I whispered. She stroked my hair and said," I missed you too. Never did I regret saving you, I knew that one day you would find love and that's what I wanted you to do. I just hope your brother is happy as well.". That's when it hit me, I never did tell her about brother. My head hung low and tears filled my eyes," [name], is everything alright?" She asked. I didn't speak, how was I supposed to tell her that my brother was dead, that he was killed and so was Elizabeth. And what about the fact that they were expecting?!

I started crying harder and harder," Mary...b-brother...he..he's." I lost all the words and could t speak," [name], please tell me whats the matter. Its ok." Mary cooed. I clung to her arms and said," Brother...h-he was killed." I choked out. Mary was silent, dead silent. I looked up and saw she was wiping away her tears," Was it because of the titans?" She asked. I shook my head and said," Robbers, they came and killed him and Elizabeth. B-but worst of all....they were expecting a child." I cried. Mary encased me in her arms and said," Its ok [name]. He's in a better place now. Its ok.".

  I looked to the clock that stood in Mary's room and saw it was 9:12," I must go wake Levi. Please excuse me, and please meet us for breakfast." I said wiping my tears away. She nodded and gave me one last hug. I gently closed her door and walked down to Levi's room, when I made it to his room I softly opened the door to see him sleeping. He looks so peaceful when he's sleeping, he doesn't look so angry. I made my way to his bed without making a noise and saw him stir under the sheets, I stopped dead in my tracks," Please don't wake up." I whispered.

He stopped moving and I continued making my way to his bed, when I reached the edge I could see his chest rising a falling in a slow motion. I smiled as I leaned down and kissed his soft pink lips, I sat down next to him and brushed the hair out of his face," Morning Levi." I whispered softly. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled," You kept your promise." He whispered. I smiled and nodded," Of course I did.". Levi rose up and captured my face in his hands," [name], have you been crying?" He asked. I lowered my head and nodded," I told Mary about Brother.". Levi nodded and hugged me tightly," I'll always be here for you." He whispered.

  I clung to his shirt and cried," I love you!". His breathing hitched and he placed his face in the crook of my neck," I love you too [name]. And no one can change that.". I felt relief wash over me, Levi really loves me. That morning we all ate breakfast together in the garden, tea with oatmeal and ham. It was a nice morning, being with Mary and Levi, having a nice conversation and just being together. It was like it was my own family, Mary is truly my real mother.

As the day went on Mary got tired and went to bed, but me and Levi stayed up and laid in the soft, plush grass outside. He was a little reluctant to do so at first but I convinced him, more like I pushed him down and laid on top of him. His face flushed red as I laid upon his chest listening to his heart beat," U-uh...[name]." He interrupted. I looked up and said," Yeah.". He looked away and said," I-I have something to ask you.".
