~Weeks Later~

~(Y/N)~

Three weeks had passed since the march. There was no news if anyone had won yet. It also had been three weeks since Levi proposed. The previous week was voting week and I had a good feeling Petra would win.

Laying in bed on my stomach I turned my head toward Levi, he was still asleep surprisingly. I had forced him to come to bed last night after a slight argument of overworking. My left hand gently fell onto his head, sweeping through his soft hair.

A soft groan rumbled past his lips as his eyes slowly opened. His right hand then grabbed mine, intertwining his fingers with mine he kissed my knuckles. Sliding in closer he sighed tiredly, he seemed completely relaxed this morning. "It's too early, go back to sleep." he mumbles.

Stretching his arm across my waist I hid myself in his chest. "It's not early, the maids come in twice with breakfast." I mumble. Groaning he turned and laid on his back. I watched his chest rise and fall with each breathe.

"Come on, time to get up." he says as he begins to sit up. Only I pull him back down and cuddle into him.

"Not yet." I whisper. With that we spent more time laying around.

~Time Skip~

After the hours spent lying in bed, Levi, and I got up for the day and headed down to the dining room to pick up a light brunch. From there we were going to head to the throne room to wait for any new messages about Kenny and my mother's position on the situation. Grabbing a plate I began picking from the middle of the table.

With Levi at my side I sit back and pick at my food. "So, when do you want to announce to the civilian's of the engagement?" Levi asks.

Before I could take a bite I turn and look at him. "W-well... It would be best to announce it after this whole situation is clear and everyone is home." I answer.

"Good choice, we can start planning afterwards." he says.

Nodding I then take a bite of my food. As we quickly and quietly ate our food we finished within a short amount of time. Standing from our seats I walk behind the chair and wait for Levi as he brushes himself off and fixes his cravat. Standing beside me I locked arms with him. Walking to the doors we crossed the hall over to the throne room doors. A maid who had happened to walk by opened it for us. Thanking her as we enter Levi and I quickly walked up the carpet and stood in front of his throne. Sitting down he looked up at me, then pointed to the throne beside him, his previous throne. "Might as well get used to it that throne will be yours after our coronation." he says.

Looking to his throne I quickly go and sit in it. Leaning back I looked to the door waiting. Then, I felt something tap at my arm. Turning to Levi I find him holding a book. "You're gonna need it." he says.

Smiling I take the book from him, opening it to the first page I began reading while waiting for the news to come in.

~Time Skip~

As time went on without word, one by one Eren, Petra, and the other noblemen entered the throne room hoping to hear news. Petra sat beside me in a smaller chair taking up small talk.

It was almost time for lunch when the throne doors opened. We all fell silent as we watched a man rush up the carpet. Sitting up both Levi and I watched the man intensely. Bowing before us he handed us an envelope.

Levi took it from the man's hands. Just as, the man was about to leave, Levi lifted hand, stopping him. "Stay." he orders. Quickly opening the envelope he pulled the letter out and flipped it open. His eyes quickly scanning through the sheet of paper.
