Levi sighs as he walks into the house. Whoever said that being a King was easy should go off themselves if they knew the stress he had to go through on a daily basis. Add that to family responsibilities and that is enough to make a grown man cry. The fact that he has eight kids with his beloved wife Petra, who is terribly ill at the moment, certainly does not help matters, though all save for three are adopted.

As though on cue, he hears a loud BANG coming from the living room. Fearing for the worst, he rushes over to the room and meets the baby of the family Armin on top of Bertholdt, trying to strangle him to death whilst the others try to stop them.

"LET GO OF ME YOU LIL BRAT!" Bertholdt yells whilst Armin tightens the grip he has on him. Before Levi could say anything, a powerful presence announces itself in the room, causing the others to cower in fear. "WILL YOU TWO IDIOTS KNOCK IT OFF?! SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HAVE SOME PEACE AND QUIET IN HERE?! BESIDES FATHER IS HERE!" the oldest son Eren shouts, finally making Armin and Bertholdt to break apart, muttering little sorries whilst exchanging icy glares at each other.

Levi glares at Eren and gives him a curt nod which the other returns. If there was one person everyone feared more than Levi, it was Eren, heck Levi also fears him too. Sure, Eren is an all-round nice guy and extremely charismatic, the type of guy everyone wants to be around and be friends with but at the same time, he can be pretty dangerous and ax-crazy when he is mad. All this was as a result of a dark period of his life, something Levi tried to save him from but failed miserably. He regards that particular incident as his biggest failure as a dad and mentor. Levi then clears his throat and says rather calmly, "What happened in here?" Armin spoke first. "B-berthie did not let me sleep." He whines. Bertholdt glares at him. "Liar you started it!" Armin fumes. "I DID NOT-" "YES YOU DID-"

"Will you two please shut up?!" Eren growls, making them both keep quiet. He then shakes his head. "You guys should be considerate of our parents. Like do you know the amount of sleepless nights dad has to sacrifice not just for the people of this kingdom but us as well and also mum is terribly ill and you guys are adding more to her stress."

The two of them stare at each other, feeling bad. "Say sorry." He says in a commanding tone. The two of them say "Sorry" simultaneously to each other. "You are both grounded." Says Levi. Armin whines at this. "Not fair." Reiner pats the kid's head. "You both brought this upon yourselves."
