~Levi~

Standing in the throne room I waited upon my lover's arrival home. It had been four days since she left. Yesterday I believed it was just a delay due to some snow but it hadn't snowed since she left.

Now, onto day four I was worried. Pacing back and forth I felt uneasy at the possible things that could have happened. "Calm down Levi, I'm sure she's just running late-

"It takes a day to get there, not two, she said she'd spend the day there then leave in the evening, she should have been here yesterday morning." I snap.

"At least stop pacing and sit, we will do something." Kenny reassures. Letting out a frustrated sigh I step up to the seat and sit there. Leaning back I tried to calm myself as I stared at the door.

My eyes bored into the large doors hoping (Y/N) would pass through them and eliminate all my fears. Seeing the door slightly open I leaned forward, my heart pounding in my chest, a feeling I hadn't felt since the day (Y/N) and I became lovers. But this feeling wasn't all the same, it was bad.

Peeking his head in he looked over to us. A messenger. Entering quickly he seemed nervous as if the news he brought was bad. Quickly walking up the carpet he bowed his head extending his hands out revealing an envelope. "F-from his majesty Prince Eren." the man stuttered nervously.

Kenny dismissed the man before opening the envelope, watching the messenger quickly leave I turn my head to Kenny. I don't have a good feeling about this. Kenny silently read as I tried to look over at the writing.

Moments later he handed me the letter, scanning the paper I quickly read it, even had to re-read it to understand.

Your Royal Highness King Kenny & Prince Levi,

While your beloved (Y/N) had come to gain my aid, she has been kidnapped, I have had my servants search the castle, even question a few suspicious ones. We have found that she is not in the castle, I ask you to meet me at the border with a search party to help find her, I fear who's taken her is behind the recent attacks.

If this is Annie this is our chance to get her now and question her. I am doing my very best to find her, I have also informed her mother who is on high alert and also sending guards. I will continue to search for as long as I have to.

Sincerely, Eren

Crumpling the letter slightly I felt angry. Angry I couldn't protect her that she's in danger yet again. "I'll assemble a search party and leave this evening." I mutter.

Standing from my seat I storm my way out of the throne room. Stomping my way up the stairs I quickly made my way into my office. As soon as I walk through the door all my pent up rage made me shove things off the table in front of the door that held decorative figures and plants.

Storming in I walk over to my desk sliding everything off, falling to my knees I sat there feeling utterly helpless and not in control of my emotions. I hated this constant feeling of worrying that something would happen. And now it was worse knowing she's been taken.

Taking a few minutes to breathe I calmed myself down and started cleaning up the mess I made. Picking up all the objects that were previously on my desk I came across a small pouch, opening it I find the gift I was holding off on.

Feeling my heart start to hurt at the sight of the gift I close the pouch and walk around my desk, setting the pouch in a drawer I quickly close it and take a deep breathe. Don't worry love, I'll find you.
