Petra and I stood outside looking at the closed castle doors. Levi had kicked us out for the day. I wonder why. "Do you have any idea what's going on?" I ask turning my head to Petra. She instantly shook her head.

Shrugging my shoulders I turned and began walking down the steps to the carriage. Petra followed behind quickly. As I slipped in I watched her come in right after and sit next to me. Without telling the driver where to go he snapped the reigns and the horses were off. Switching sides I slide the little door open.

"Uh, sir do you know where we're going?" I ask.

The man leaned down. "His highness specifically told me to take you into town for the day." he states.

Looking at Petra confused I turn back to the little window. "I see, thank you." I say before shutting the little door. I look out the window after switching back seats. I looked back at the castle wondering what Levi had planned for today.

~Levi~

I was following as a servant had began to spread red rose petals from the front door to the throne room. Everything had to be perfect. I watched as Eren rushed out of the throne room, he had his mouth covered in a bandana and another on his head. "Throne room is clean." he says.

"I'll check again, dust around here." I order.

Walking past the servant I walked into the throne room. Although I insisted Eren that I'd have a servant clean he was convinced it was him who had to do it. As I walked into the throne room the roses continued up to the steps leading to the thrones. I looked around checking for anything dusty or moldy.

Eren did an exquisite job. Time to change and prepare myself. As I walked out into the hall I watched as servant brought pillars with vases attach to them. It was for the roses. "In there." I say, pointing into the throne room. Eren then came rushing helping lead them.

"Make sure they place them a couple feet apart." I say.

Eren nodded his head. I pulled at his sleeve grabbing his attention once more. "Don't let them bring in any ribbons... I'm going to change, the girls should be back soon." I mutter.

"Alright, what about Annie? Her execution is today." Eren says.

"I've already arranged for it to be private, it'll be done in the dungeon then she will be buried." I answer.

With that I took my leave and headed up stairs. As I entered my room I pulled out a white button up and black leather pants. They were my father's. Mother had told me that my father proposed to her in these. Staring at the outfit I felt it was too simple.

Quicking slipping on the shirt and pants I grab the small box and open it once again. I look down at the ring. My heart began to race. What if I mess up? God I should have practiced this- No, it'll be perfect.

Taking a deep breath I shut my eyes and exhale loudly. I can do this, I love (Y/N). Looking in the mirror one last time I nod and walk out the door.

Back in the carriage we were headed home. After a very confusing morning I decided once arriving home I was to head to the library to relax and read for a while. Looking out the window I could see leaves already beginning to bloom for spring. It was now warm enough to not have to huddle in the carriage.
