Chapter 25: An Act of Jealousy

═════ 🌼 ═════

~(Y/N)~

The next day I was ordered to stay by the prince's side. As of now, we were watching Rico leave, she had stayed here vacationing to see Levi her now former boyfriend? Something along those lines.

I watched as she hugged Levi once more. Crossing my arms I roll my eyes, letting out an annoyed 'tch' I turn my head away. "Do you have a problem?" Rico asks calmly.

Uncrossing my arms I decide to say something knowing this would probably be the last time I have to be in her presence. "Why yes, it's very unladylike to be so grabby especially around a Prince, show some restraint." I scold.

Scoffing she turned to me with an angry glare. "What makes you think you know what's ladylike? Fifthly peasant." she snaps.

If only you knew... if only you knew. Standing there I restrain myself from punching her in the face. Standing next to Levi I watched her climb into the carriage. Soon enough the carriage drove away giving me some relief. Levi and I both turn to head in the castle.

As I start walking I turn my head slightly seeing him still standing there, staring at me. "What?" I ask.

Walking up to me he looks down at me. "Why is it you always have to fight with the woman I meet?" he asks.

"What do you mean? I don't fight with them." I deny.

"Tch, you do too, with Lady Petra you snapped at her for nearly slapping me, then just now. I think you're jealous," he says.

Slowly he starts walking forward. Standing there I tense up at his words, feeling my face grow warm. "N-no I'm not." I stutter.

Stopping in his track he turned to look back at me with a smirk on his face. His eyes slightly widened at the sight of my probably red face. Crossing my arms I stood there frowning at him. "Yes you are," he says.

Watching him walk away I run up to his side. Walking up the steps we head to his office where I watched him work for most of the day, here, and there we had light conversation but he didn't bring up the fact that I was indeed jealous of the woman he saw.

~Levi~

Sitting there in the desk I look up finding (F/N) staring down at me as if she were hoping I'd start up a conversation. Or did she want me to bring up the fact that she was jealous? I knew she was, I could tell by how red her face got and her stuttering. "(F/N)," I call. It felt kind of strange caller by her first name, I hardly did and there I was saying it.

"Yes?" she asks.

"Do you like me?" I ask.

I watch her shoulder tense up at my question, her face turned red within an instant of hearing the question leave my lips. Darting her head away from me I lean back in my chair waiting upon her answer.

"As a friend or more?" she asks calmly.

"That depends, if you like me as a friend then I feel the same, but if it's more then you need to tell me this instance," I order.

Watching her react to my question she turns her back to me. "What if there was a... chance I liked you more than that? Hypothetically speaking," she says.

"Then, we will have a very interesting friendship," I answer.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asks turning her head she gave me a slightly upset look. Does she think I want her as a mistress or something?
