>The Kings Daughter<

I hate him.....

When I mean him I mean the king.

Also known as my father.

I grit my teeth looking down at my dress.

I got to admit Alessandra's taste is pretty magnificent, I sigh brushing off some left over dust.

>>"This was your mothers" Alessandra whispered tossing the dress carefully to me, I squeaked surprisingly catching the ancient material. <<

I guess this is a ball for the Scout Legion?

I dunno no one told me. I cough putting my hands behind my back

Apparently the ball started cause I hear my name being called, I stiffen and wait for the applause.

'Stand straight and don't slouch'.

I shuffle out behind the curtain scanning the crowd of soldiers, I hear gasps and see people pointing at me.

What.The.Hell.

I shake my head, I really shouldn't be thinking swears especially at a time like this, I hardly get this much attention cause I hardly socialize so this is very new. I stand next to the king getting a chill down my spine. The clapping fades leaving me alone in a confusing place I call reality. The king taps onto my shoulder making me jump.

"The f-, hey dad" I say awkwardly covering my attempt to swear.He smiles gesturing to the crowd.

"Go meet people, after all this is a night to remember" he reminds me the 59th time.

'Haha thanks dad'

I cringe.

"Alright" I say firmly hopping off each step delicately. My palms begin to get sweaty as I trudge through the crowd, I wipe my hands every 10 seconds glaring.

"Damn!" I cry tripping over my dress twirling toward the ground, until a strangers hand grabs gently onto my hand.

"You got small hands"the male stranger comments making me roll my eyes.

"Thanks" I say coldly looking up at my savior.

'What if it's Jesus? OH GOD HE DEFIANTLY HEARD ME SWEAR!'

But I'm obviously wrong.

Cute, the man who saved me is the most attractive thing I seen.

I blush trying to find the perfect set of words to say, his turquoise eyes sparkle making me blush darker.

"h-hi" I stammer looking down at the marble floor. He pulls me up smiling brightly.

"Hello princess" he says kissing my hand, my eyes widen.

"Im Eren" he introduces pushing a strand of chocolate brown hair away from his face.

'This must be a dream come true! I'm the new Cinderella!' I squeal inside looking the other way and back at the beautiful stranger named Eren.

"Im (Y/N), please you REALLY don't need to call me princess, it gets kind of annoying" I laugh at my bitterness earning a smile from Eren.

"If that's alright with you" Eren says brightly eyeing my dress "that's a beautiful dress" he says dazzled. That's how I reacted inside, dazzled and shocked at something so exotic looking. I play with my left braid looking like a complete dumbass, I thrust my hand down when he looks back at me.

"Would you like to dance?" He asks holding out his hand, I look at his hand, I feel a surge of pity go though my veins.

'No sorry I would love to but I can't dance'

"Yea sure!" I lie grabbing his hand.

'What did I just dooooo?!'

Eren pulls me near the middle of the damn floor, I gulp looking back into his enchanting eyes, I feel stupid when he looks at me in concern.

"You alright?" He asks waving a hand in front of my face.

'No cause your so beautiful and your making me go crAzY'

"Yea, yea, yea I'm fine" I swoon sheepishly. He nods flashing me a super amazing smile.

'Why am I not fainting, I swear to god Dad you were right'

This is a night to remember.

Eren glides me across the floor, I bite my lip and try to catch up to his pace. I step on his foot.

"OMG IM SO SORRY I SUCK AT DANCING!" I cry shutting my eyes. Eren laughs, I stand there still pondering about why he didn't leave me alone on the dance floor yet.

"It's fine, not everyone is perfect" Eren says cheering me up instantly.

"Thanks" sadly I couldn't finish my sentence cause one of my maids rush over to me grabbing onto my arm.

"Miss (Y/N)! Your father will like to speak with you!" She rushes steering me away from Eren. I turn my head around giving Eren a apology face as my maid pushes me father and father away from my dream boy. I glare quickly and replace it with a straight face.

'Why does this happen to me all the time?!'.

I shake my head when I reach the king.

"Ah, there you are I want you to meet someone" he hums gesturing to the short man. I tilt

my head.

"This is humanity's strongest solider" he says brightly. The man rolls his eyes crossing his arms, I raise a eyebrow.

'Of course I've heard of the famous solider but I never knew how short he is'.

I cover up my laugh by coughing.

"You have a cold?" He asks annoyed in a deep voice.

"Oh my..." I gasp loud enough for my dad to hear. I shake my head plastering a goofy smile.

"No no no no! I'm fine, please it's a pleasure to meet you!" I say waving slightly.

'Im such a idiot' I blink playing with my (h/c) hair innocently.

"(Y/N) sweetie I have good news"

"More like bad" I mumble, apparently the short man over heard me, he snorts scratching his arm.

"I have a arranged marriage for you!" He gushes. I choke smacking my chest.

"Excuse me?" I croak my eye twitches.

"I have arranged you to marry Levi!"

"Who's Le-?" I stop myself and realize who he's talking about.

I shake my head backing up slightly.

"Dad?! I can't get married!" I whine tears beginning to form in my eyes. He smiles and smacks his hands together.

"It's settled!" He cheers shooing me away. A sick feeling stabs me in the stomach.

"Settled?" I ask myself looking at the ground.

"What's settled?" A familiar voice asks, I gasp and look up.

"Eren"

"Ya it's me" he laughs. I shake my head.

"Nothing it's fine, but I wanted to ask you a favor" I say nervously. Eren smiles warmly.. I rub my eyes and lean toward his ear.

"Can you come here tomorrow?" I whisper my eyes shifting to the left, I move away taking a deep breath waiting for his answer.

"Sure, also I really like you"

The words bounce in my head.

Oh my.....

"Same..." I blurt hiding my face.

"Oh I'll see you tomorrow!" Eren kisses my cheek leaving my alone on the marble floor with Levi watching angrily from afar. I wanted to laugh but that's not a good option cause of his temper. 'Ever since I met you Eren my life has turned upside down'
