The King's Admirer

The King's Admirer (Chapter 8)

Third Person's POV,

Levi sighed as he sat on his bed, hands on his cheeks as he groaned. It's been 5 days ever since he was locked in his room as punishment for his actions.

Only allowed to go out to train and do exercise, his food, tutoring and all his daily given necessities are done in his room.

Right now he is given a break, after 4 hours of torture I mean- tutor he was finally given a break, talking about politics had really drained his brain, considering how different the Korean Government and the Obelian empire is.

Plopping down to his bed on his back he reminisce about the letter Claude had sent him- it was adorable- really it was. A small autobiography of his day and how happy he is to have a friend like Levi as well as secretly putting words about the abuse he is currently suffering from, but Levi is pretty sure Claude didn't know how his writing went.

Levi answered back ofcourse- even going as far as sending a bouquet of 24 blue Rose's he had stolen from Madame Celeste's rose garden, earning him a pull from the ear and a pat on the back for sympathy from Sir Hercules.

They continued such exchange in secrete, it was their apparently- according to Claude- their "dirty little secrete" as Levi would prefer the term "own world" but still agreed.

Currently his addressing to the letter Claude had just sent him for the 10th time after he sent his own.

[Mother fell down infront of everyone and brother was ashamed- he was red a she helped mother up- I was trying not to laugh on the corner]

That paragraph was littered with cute little funny faces- Levi thought him that- and cute little scribbles. Most of Claude's letter had scribbles in them anyways.

[And apparently it's now considered to be rude to tell someone politely  No? Like later this morning my mother scolded as I said no when she stated I should dress up more manly- I like my skirt robes- they are very loose and comfortable rather than those pants you wore- why would you even wear them?]

The was Claude write is so adorable Levi couldn't help but smile. The random scribbles and tiny faces he thought the young royal was really something else-

"Young Master- the Madame wished to see you" Melly knocked on the door as she said that, Levi was quick yet gently as he shove the letter under his thick bed.

"I'm coming!" He called out, fixing his white polo who had been unbuttoned- it was hot and Levi was sweating. Sighing he stood up and opened his door with a little twist on the knob and walked out.

He didn't bother greeting Melly knowing the female wouldn't answer back anyways. "Where is she again?" He asked, relaxed as he let the summer breeze slide through him- it's actually a great feeling.

"She is currently having tea with Sir Hercules at the Rose Pavillion-I heard it was Jasmine Tea" Melly stated as she watch Levi's twist in disgust- don't get him wrong, Levi doesn't hate tea nor antagonize about it, his young taste bud just doesn't stomach it very well.

Sighing for probably the tenth time Levi took a deep breath and prepared himself to meet a very angry old lady who's probably the very definition of an angry asian mom.

"Good day" he rattled in and smiled awkwardly. Eyes straining over to the old woman who is sipping her tea rather loudly- very not ladylike.

"You called for me Madame Celeste?" He asked again, looking at the angry woman who gestured for him to seat down to which he hurriedly did so, still scared to anger the old woman who had made him kneel down a hot pile of salt.

"Do you really like the prince?" She asked, putting down her tea cup as she looked at Levi, eyes turning hard with determination Levi looked back, clenching under the white table cloth.

"I do"

"Are you willing to not back down your words- as not only as a knight but the as Leviticus Maximillian Nero Octavian the third the future Duke of Obelian?" She asked once more to which Levi replied without missing a beat.

"Yes" the two stared at each other- eyes glowing in determination until Madame Celeste gave in-

"Tomorrow you are to accompany the Second prince with his study and train your skills with the sword better and Faster- I had spoken with the king and with a few twinking I was able to grant you the title of being his Highness personally Knight-child!!" Madame celeste was shock when a young Levi came barreling onto her- hugging her tightly with a big smile on his face.

A childish smile-

"Oh thank you! Thank you Madame Celeste!! You truly are the best!" the boy exclaimed, red hue crept it's way up to the old lady's cheeks and ears, huffing she covered it with her fan and lightly hit the boy's head.

"Leave! Go and pack your things-you'll be staying at the castle tomorrow until you decided to stop your nonsense" the old lady stated as another giddy laugh escaped Levi's lips.

"I will!! I will make you both proud of me! I will be better- better than any Knight" he stated and smiled proudly. "Even better than my father" Levi stated with determination- bowing before running away.

"Seriously....he really is Maria' son- a handful" Madame Celeste stated, sighing in red as she drink her tea behind her fan- still trying to hide her obvious red face.

"Well- Maria did snake her way into your heart at a young age- same with Meliodas" Sir Hercules stated, chuckling as he drink his own tea, teasing his wife with a fre nudges that earned him a smack on the head and a bump-all caused by the supposedly brittle and fragile fan that his wife held.

"M-maybe it runs i-in the family" continuing his teasing despite the pain in his head- Sir Hercules will soon sleep outside if he don't stop.

[Dear Claude,

       Exciting News my friend! I know this letter will arrive probably at night and sorry if I had disturbed your sleeping schedule but this news that I'm about to relay can no longer stay in the top of my tongue.

     I really don't know if the King had told you yet but-- Tomorrow I am to journey in your palace and live there- I can be your personal Knight and friend in secrete (as you stated ) -- I will train beside you and learn beside you, I think its gonna be fun!]

Levi couldn't help but contain his laugh as he had accidentally spilt his ink on the floor- Madame Celeste would kill him but his just to happy-

Yeah- Levi had officially gone batsuit crazy.

[Anyways! I really cannot wait to see you tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow ? Who knows- the weather is my enemy in here- pray that we arrive early my dear friend!

     With utmost excitement and sincerity,   Leviticus Maximillian Nero Octavian the 3rd

My name is a handful]

Smiling Leviticus grabbed his letter- put it in his envelope with a blue rose he had plucked from his vase- he himself had been obsessed with them it seems and tied the said letter on Beelzebub- his messenger eagle and gave the rose to its feet so he could clutch it.

"Give it to Claude"he stated gently- feeding it a few fruits before opening the window to let it fly away.
