Chapter 66: The Planning

~(Y/N)~

I woke up beside Levi in my bed. Confused I sit up and look about the room. My room. That's right, we just got to Seagaria last night. Looking down at Levi he laid there on his stomach peacefully asleep.

Leaning down I place a soft kiss on his lips before slipping out of bed. Today the rumors would be confirmed that my loving step parent's blood does not run through my veins, because I was adopted. My mother had mentioned something left from my father, about my adoption to announce as well when it came time.

Standing up I walk over to my old closet. The huge closet was a whole room by itself, much bigger than what Levi had. My hands glided over the dresses I once wore when I had lived here, the fine fabric in all it's colors and patterns. Then, I stumbled upon a white gown, pulling it out I found it was my mother's wedding dress. What is this doing in here?

Putting it back I search and find a simple yet elegant dress to wear for today. I quickly strip from my nightgown and slip into the dress. I would need my corset tightened, walking over I thought of using the bell to call my maid. Only, Levi was sitting up on the bed staring at me. "Need assistance my queen?" he asks. The tips of my ears grew warm from hearing him call me queen. It would be a matter of time before the coronation but it was unexpected.

"Y-yes." I answer. Standing up from the bed he marched over and around me standing right behind me. My hands folded in front of me as I felt him pull at my strings, he was very gentle when pulling making sure I would have enough room to breath. I could feel his fingers at the small of my back tying the lace together, then his hands rested on my hips. There was a light pressure on them as he leaned down, cold lips grazed the back of my neck gently sending a chill down my spine causing me to tremble.

Turning to look at him he smirked down at me, leaning down he pecked my lips then kissed my forehead. "Go eat, I'll be down shortly." he says.

Nodding I smile and head for the door. Slipping out of my room I look down the hall, my mother's office, there wasn't a guard... she must not be there.

Turning the other way I head for the stairs. Heading down to the foyer I took a left to the dining room. Pushing the wooden door open I find my mother sitting there eating her food. Walking up to the chair next to her I quickly take a seat, greeting her with a smile.

"So, are you and Levi planning your wedding yet?" she asks.

As the servants set my plate down I looked to my mother. "Not at the moment..." I answer.

She nodded her head slowly before drinking her orange juice. Sitting there silently I began to eat my food. "Maria, go get the books." my mother says. As I ate my food my mother seemed to finish quickly.

Within a short few minutes Maria brought out three large books. They slammed on the table beside me as I ate. My mother pulled the first book off from the pile and opened it. "Alright let's see, how many people do you plan on inviting?" she asks.

"Mother." I say in an annoyed tone.

"What? I'm only asking, you're going to want all our family there." she says.

"I'll see what Levi thinks, it's his day too... now please do not go on." I beg.

"I only wish to help my beloved daughter on her special day." she says giving me puppy dog eyes. As I drop my fork I felt slightly guilty.

"Fine, but nothing over the top." I sigh. She smiled happily as she continued looking through the books as I stood up. Turning to the door I find Levi making his way in, latching myself onto his arm I pull him away from the table.
