Levi's PoV

It had been a year since the curse was lifted with Marco's help. I still don't have any news regarding Hange's well-being or whereabouts, but I figured that she's doing okay.

As for me, I got used to living in the palace. Helping Eren out as best as I could and looking after my son. I remembered everything from when my uncle took me in, when Eren and I exchanged letters, and eventually got married.

And I recalled the days when I was under a curse, how I treated everyone with a cold shoulder.

But everything was in the past now and we all learned from it.

Eren decided to accept magic practices in the kingdom. Yet, it was limited to healing, nullifying, and protection. Those kinds of self-defense magic were taught in every school in the kingdom.

My days in the palace was the same as usual, though I coudn't get over Rivialle. He's my angel and I showered him all the love that I can give.

He had his birthday. He turned two yet, still looked like a five-year-old. It was not odd for a hybrid. When he saw my wings, he was dying to see his.

Eren and I were skeptical.

"Do I have wings like mommy?" Rivaille asked, looking up at us with big expectant eyes.

We were having breakfast in the breakfast nook when he bought it up. Yesterday was his birthday. We threw a big party and invited all the children in the kingdom. I had never seen Rivaile so happy. It was a wonderful event.

Eren and I shared glances, not sure of what to say. Since Rivaille's a hybrid, he could either inherit Eren's titan shifting abilities or my fairies' abilities and wings.

"Baby, you could inherit your father's abilities or mine," I offered.

"Since you only turned two and with little magic, we'll never know until you're older." Eren smiled at me and I nodded.

Well, between me and Eren, he's the one who was good at these types of talks.

"I want wings!" Rivaille announced. "I want to fly!"

I frowned. "Oh, baby. A fae's wings are not meant for flight."

"What?!" Rivaille exclaimed, I could tell that his excitement was dying down. "But-"

"A fae's wings are for display- to attract a mate," Eren calmly explained. "But you don't need wings to fly. If you study magic, you can learn spells of flight."

"Oh, I see," Rivaille nodded as if the gears were turning in his head. "Okay! Then I'll study magic harder!"

"Rivaille, take it easy on the classes." It almost came out like I scolded him but who can blame me? My baby's too young for this!

Rivaille giggled and was all smiles when we finished our breakfast.

My relationship with my mate changed drastically in a good way. I no longer felt shyness or lesser around him unlike before but, I couldn't swallow the things that I did before.

Triggering Eren's rut, shameless flirty, and hell, I even dragged him to bed. I blame half of it to Hange's coaching and the other half to Eren's hot ass.

In the end, I loved spending time with him. Being near him made me forgot about everything that had happened. It was like a true happily ever after when I'm with him... But.

I was reading a book on the loveseat in our chambers. The fireplace was lit and Petra brews me tea before she retired for the day. It was a perfect time for reading, then Eren came in with that stupid smirk on his face.

"What the fuck are you staring at?" I hissed at him.

He was done for the day- paperwork was all settled, things on the court were finished. He was royal duties free. Immediately, he turned into this horny rabbit.

"Why don't we move to the bed?" He purred suggestively as he scooted next to me.

Setting aside my book, I eyed at his hand that he rested on my knee and the said hand was slowly moving up.

"Go to fucking sleep Eren," I rolled my eyes at him.

This was another thing I loved now that things were the way they are. I can fucking curse whenever I want, not around my son though, but I can with Eren.

"Not tired yet," he chuckled darkly as he lean forward to nip my ear.

Shivers run down on my spine at the simple contact of his teeth. But I can't. Not yet. I pushed his face off of me while I shook my head. "No, not today."

"What?" He almost whined.

I stared at him with a frown. I had to check on something. I had this weird feeling in the past few days. It was not a bad feeling but it had been bothering me. I need to see Marco tomorrow for some answers.

I turned to Eren and lied instead. "I'm... tired."

Eren pouted, he scooted at the opposite end of the loveseat with his arms crossed over his chest.

I barely stopped a chuckle at his childish antics. This Alpha is a powerful King with a pure Titan lineage. And here he was, pouting like Rivaille when I tucked the child in for a nap.

I sighed and stood. "I'm going to bed. If you are not okay with just cuddling, you sleep on the loveseat."

Eren's ocean green eyes widen as he stared at me. "Did you just said that you want to cuddle?"

"What of it?"

"I just... well, you don't usually say those."

"Well, I can fucking say that I want cuddles when I fucking want it!" I exploded. I don't know why Eren was so focused on it. It was nothing at all. And why the heck did it made me mad?

"Whoa!" Eren held both hands in surrender. "Calm down, you okay?"

"I..." I paused. Not sure on what to reply.

Why did I get mad? Indeed, I seldom voice out those type of sappy things but right now, I badly wanted my mate's attention. In our relationship, Eren's the one taking the lead, may it be making love or simply cuddling, and I just go with it.

"It's okay," Eren stood and wrapped his arms around me, he probably noticed how conflicted I am by my scent. "Why don't we go to bed and cuddle?"

"Eren shut the fuck up," I cursed under my breath. Shit, Eren won't let this go but at least I did get cuddles until I fall asleep.


"Wow," I held the wine in awe.

The label says "Ackerman's Finest" in the most artistic cursive I ever seen. Kenny had been sending shipments of his wine to the palace since Eren tasted them. The King loved it so much that he couldn't live without it in the dinner table.

I'm proud of my uncle, his wines were good. Every time the shipment rolled in, Kenny will grab the opportunity to visit us.

"What do you think? Petra's the one who made the label," Kenny bellowed proudly.

The carts kept coming in from back of the palace while the servants were busy unloading the crates and barrels of wine from the carts that had parked in.

"So that's what she's working on all this time," I chuckled.

Those were the days when Petra would carry a stretch book with her and started scribbling something. I thought she was just practicing her calligraphy skills. I didn't know she was designing the labels.

"Come on, Shrimp! Let's start with this one!" Kenny pulled out one of the bottles in the crate. "These batch are my best brew!"

"Thanks, uncle but... I can't."

"What?" Kenny gaped at me.

I can't blame him though, every time he visits, I never turned down some wine tasting.

"I can't for... for nine months."

His eyes can't get any bigger as he stared at me with his jaw dropped. "Levi, are you?"

I smiled and nodded. Instantly, Kenny had his arms around me and squizzing me gently in his warm embrace.

"Levi, I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you, uncle. Also, Eren doesn't know yet."

"What?! But why?! You should tell me him now!"

"I'm planning to. He's waiting for us in the sunroom with Rivialle and Petra."

"Alright! Then I'm taking five of these! As a celebration!" Kenny pulled out five bottles and I helped him carry two.

"Ugh, I want to taste them so bad," I whined as I stared at the wine in my hands.

"Now, don't be so gloom. That bag over there is grape juice for Rivaille. You two will share."

I took the bag and eyed the contents. It's not wine but it will do. We both entered the palace, and I couldn't help smiling like an idiot.

Life was not always filled with happy endings but I think we all can manage it.


Hange's PoV

10 years later.

The coast of Shingansina had always been beautiful. Every time I passed through here, I felt the winds from the open ocean cleanse my soul.

Years ago, I made a huge mistake. Almost putting an entire kingdom at stake and ruined a family. I accepted my fate but the King had other plans for me. This time around, I won't allow myself to fail. I carried out his order and now I'm free to do what I please.

I decided to go on a journey of finding the best nullifying remedy. I'm not against magic but maybe the world will be better off without it.

I hummed as I followed the dirt road, leaving the coast when I noticed a rider on the distance. He was trotting his horse towards me.

I lifted my head and ready to greet him. I always did that when I crossed path with another traveler. As the rider drew closer, I felt my heart leap out of my chest.

"Levi?" I gaped. The rider looked like Levi but he was younger, around twelve of age, and his eyes. I gasped and froze on the spot.

The rider squinted at me before smiling and rode his horse close to me. "Hange! It's Hange!" Rivaille exclaimed.

I found myself smiling and started to tear up. It was Rivaille. He had grown so much and as beautiful as ever with his mismatched eyes. He looked just like his mother.

"Hange!" He cheered. "It's been so long. I missed you and mommy missed you too!" He smiled and attempted to dismount but I stopped him.

"Wait, no need to dismount," I chuckled. "I'll be on my way after this."

"What? We are just down on the beach. I'm sure mommy will be happy to see you again."

I blinked several times to keep the tears in and force my frown away. I knew Levi will be happy to see me but I have to carry out the King's order. "I see, but I'm in a hurry."

"But-" Rivaille paused when someone called his name from down the hills.

"It's nice to meet you again, Rivialle," I nodded at him. "You should go back to your family and I'll be on my way."

"But, Hange..."

"Just tell your mother I said hi, okay?" I smiled and placed my cloak over my head.

"Okay," he nodded and cringed when someone called him again. Then he added with a proud smile. "I'm a big brother now."

"Wow, that's great-"

Another set of hooves approached us. It came from over the hill where the beach was.

I quickly applied a spell on me, allowing me to blend in with the environment. Rivaille saw as I casted it and got the idea.

The King of Sina rode his stallion towards us. Eren looked different but in a good way- his hair was long and tied in a messy bun. He looked good, relax even, unlike before when he was under my curse.

"Rivaille, what's taking you so long? Your mother is worried sick and your brother is getting impatient. He needs your help with his sandcastle!" Eren scolded.

"Sorry," Rivaille glanced on my direction. "I got distracted by some rabbits."

Eren sighed and pulled the reins of his horse. "Okay, let's go back now."

Rivaille turned towards me and smiled before following his father. When they are out of sight, I undid the spell and stared at the horizon.

News of how the Kingdom of Sina was flourished economically spreaded throughout the lands and it was all because of Eren and Levi. Nurturing the kingdom and protecting their people like they're their children. Just like the late King Grisha and Queen Carla.

Turning to the path, I continued with my journey without carrying the heavyweight on my heart. Knowing that they were doing well and happy.
