~(Y/N)~

Back in my own bed I had awoken to a shift in the bed. Leaning up I look back finding Levi getting out of bed. He sat with his back towards me on the edge of the bed. Getting up I moved myself so I was sitting next to him. "Today's the day." I mutter as I lean on his arm.

He simply nodded before taking my hands into his. His fingers grasped the ring on my left hand. He seemed to be pulling it off but soon slipped it back on. "Let's get ready." he whispers. Levi wrapped his arm around until his hand fell on the other side of my head to pull me toward him. He kissed the side of my head before his hand traveled down to my side.

We both soon stood up and changed for the day. Our day would start with standing out in the semi cold temperatures to send Kenny and my mother off as they lead our soldiers to Kustea. As I slipped into a pair of pants and blouse I headed for the door. Only, there was a tight grasp on my wrist. Turning around I was yanked back, my face smashed into Levi's bare chest.

Looking up I watched his eyes meet mine. Slowly his eyes fell onto my lips, I could hear his soft breathing. Before I could prepare myself his mouth came down on mine. As always they were soft. His hands gently pressed at my spine making me shiver slightly. Pulling back he pecked my lips a couple more times before smirking.

"I'll be out in five, head down." he says. Nodding I move back slowly not realizing his hand was still attached. Slowly my hand slipped from his and I went to the door. Stepping out into the hall I ran into a familiar face.

"Petra!" I call. Turning her head I watch a smile tug at her lips. Turning herself she rushed up and hugged me tightly. Seconds later she stopped herself. "Excuse me M'lady, I did not mean-

Hugging her back I got her to shut up. "How are our soldiers?" I ask.

"Ready to march along side Auburn's'." she says.

"I'm glad... will you be staying here until they return?" I ask.

She nodded her head as she took my hands into hers. "Yes, Eren will be here along with the other elected dukes will be coming." she informs.

"Oh, I haven't heard of this." I say.

"Kenny is going to mention this when you meet him for breakfast before they leave." she says.

Nodding once. Locking arms with Petra we made our way down to breakfast to see off my mother and Kenny. Petra had wondered why Lady Hanji never wanted to run in the competition for Queen. I had heard Hangi made it clear she wouldn't leave Erwin unless he made it clear he didn't need her.

As we descended the stairs into the foyer we took a right into the west wing. We walked past the large doors of the dining room. At one end sat Kenny and the other end my mother. They sat there already eating and chatting. Greeting them I go and sit beside my mother. "Good morning dear." she greets.

Smiling I nod to her and place the napkin on my lap. "So, where is that nephew of mine?" Kenny asks as he looks my way.

Looking down the table I smile. "He is getting ready, he's been rather tired lately from staying up late." I answer.

A smirk tugged at his mouth curling at the corners. "Is that so? Good for him." Kenny mutters.

I felt the tips of my ears heat up at his words. He couldn't possibly be implying- Oh dear god what am I thinking. "I'm here." I hear a deep familiar voice call. Looking up I find Eren walking through the door.
