This Book...

The room that Eren needs to attend to has been furnished and tidied well. It took a day for the servants to clean it up but it was worth the Prince's approval. He dismissed them and headed back to the Prince's room to report.

He knocked on the door and announced himself before pulling the door open. “I've come to report to you, Your Highness.” He marched towards the prince, who's currently sitting by his study table reading a book.

The prince have changed into his sleep clothes by now, after all, it was already dark outside. “Good.” He shut his book close and looked to the soldier. “Go and move your stuffs to the room next door. Then, you're done for the day.”

Eren gave his last salute before turning toward the door. Before his hands touch the knob, the prince spoke once more. “Remember what I told you. Whatever you witness, or hear, from this room, it will remain in this room or you will suffer my wrath.”

Once again, Eren's heart pounded fast on his chest. So many ideas ran in his head, too many of them that he couldn't comprehend what's possible and what's not. Either way, he's to suffer anyway, the wrath of the prince or his conscience and regret. (Take note: Eren thinks that what happens at night was something murderous.)

With shaking hands, he was able to open the door and finally walk out of the Prince's chambers, heading straight to the barracks briskly.

The hallways and rooms are mostly empty, the guards the only remaining in there. Eren couldn't help but worry for his future. Being the Prince's guard might be harder than what he thought.

When he reached his room, Jean was already asleep. His bag was just at the corner of his bed, still packed since he didn't had time to unpack and he was thankful he didn't had. It would be frustrating if he had it unpacked now that he needs to transfer to another room.

Without informing his roommate, he left the barracks and headed back upstairs, where his new room is beside the Prince's.

The room was larger than the ones downstairs. It was twice the size of his old room with Jean and is way neater, having his own bathroom, bed with soft and comfortable sheets, and a wardrobe with mirror. Nothing like the barracks.

The sight alone made Eren want to forget everything and sleep. However, the Prince's ‘hygiene’ rules kept him awake.

He unpacked his clothes and placed them in the wardrobe, collecting his night clothes and a few hygiene stuffs before heading towards the bathroom. He stripped off from his clothes, stuffing them on the laundry basket before entering the bath.

The waters surely washed his burdens away.

“You're late four eyes.”

It was what greeted Hanji as she enters the Prince's room. She happily skipped towards the Prince's, who's laying on his bed with a book in hand.

“Aww~ I'm sorry I made you wait, Levi! Anyway, I brought something that would make you happy!” Hanji squealed while holding a book up.

The prince stood and placed his book back to its shelf. Then, he faced Hanji and examined the book that the lady is holding. “So no more weird experiments with big ass explosions. What did you bring then? That book? What is it?”

Hanji's eyes glimmered in excitement and the moment Levi saw it, he sighed. Hanji surely did something horrible again. “You are right. This book......” Her gaze shoot right into Levi's with an unexplained aura of excitement, the pleasure from discovering a new knowledge, acquiring a hidden wisdom. “This book!” She erupted into a victorious laugh that might have resonated through the whole palace.

The prince growled in annoyance while covering his ears, murmuring as he wait for Hanji to calm down. “Tch.”

After a few minutes, Hanji finally cleared her throat, preparing her explanation for the Prince. She held the book up to Levi's eye level and showed the cover.

The moment Levi saw the title, his eyes widened with excitement and hope. Finally, finally! He can be as strong as Kenny Ackerman or even more!

★★★
EXTRA

Eren was finally able to settle on his bed, the stress from that day drained by the warm bath he just had.

Just as he closed his eyes to sleep, he heard an evil laugh from the room next to him, the Prince's room.

‘This is it! They're probably doing the torture now.’

Eren gulped a lump on his throat, his body shaking in fear and so, he cowered into his blankets trying to calm himself.
