Chapter 33: Rumors Found True

~(Y/N)~

~A Week Later~

Waking up to the sound of knocking I slowly open my eyes. Letting out a soft groan I quickly sit up, rubbing my eyes I let out a tired yawn before my hands fell to my side. Looking around I found I was still in my old room, back in Amber Castle. Another knock grabbed my attention.

"C-come in," I say.

The door opened as my maid stepped in with a tray of food. It felt weird being home again, with everything that's happened I had gotten so used to doing things for myself. "Good Morning M'lady, would you like your schedule?" my maid asks.

Nodding my head I pull the tray closer and start eating slowly. "After you finish breakfast, you need to meet your mother in the office, then you will meet with Nanaba your matchmaker at ten o'clock sharp, then you will have the rest of the day off until this evening, this evening you will be visited by King Erwin who had private matters to discuss with you," she says.

Erwin's here? Nodding I dismiss her and sit there silently eating my food. What could Erwin want? Is it about Jean? Levi?

After eating I slip out of my bed and head to my closet. I didn't want to get myself into a dress today, so I grabbed some leather pants and a dark red blouse. Looking in the mirror I nod in approval and let out a sigh as I turn around heading to the door.

Exiting my closet I walk over to my bedroom door and open it. Walking down the hall I saw some new installations, seems some things have changed since I left. Looking around as I walked towards the office I let out another sigh. I felt out of place.

Stopping at the large dark brown doors I hold a fist up to the door and slowly knock. Waiting a moment there was only silence. The loud creaking sound of the door prevented me from looking around again. "Hello dear." my mother greets.

Walking in she shut the door behind me. "Was there something you needed?" I ask.

"Just wanted to see how you were feeling," she says as she walks around her desk. Stopping at the side she looked at me with a slight smile.

"Like I've been saying for the past week now mother, I'm fine," I say.

"I know you and Levi were close, I'm just worried that leaving him saddens you." my mother says as she sits in the desk.

Crossing my arms I stand there before her desk. "I'm not sad... it's for the best that he and I go our separate ways..." I say.

Scuffing lightly I flash a confused glare at her. "You really don't mean that do you?" she asks.

"I do... it's better this way, he has his issues, I have mine." I say.

Shaking her head she softly laughs. "My dear, I thought you had feelings for him like you said not even a few weeks ago. Did something happen?" she asks.

"No... it's just... he's not the type who marries for love, he'd rather marry a stranger, besides he's confusing and I don't think my heart or mind and take any more of his constant mood swings." I say.

"Mood swings?" she asks.

Nodding my head I pinch the bridge of my nose. "One minute he'll act like a complete asshole, then... there are times where, you know... he's not so bad." I mutter.

"I see... well if-

"Can we please not talk about him anymore, please?" I ask, my heart couldn't take the conversation, it brought up to many precious memories.
