Levi sighed as names were announced by a messenger. Princess curtsied but one in particular bowed sending suspicions to everyone in the room. It was even more suspicious that the king smirked.
"Alright thank you now if you would all be ready in proper attire for dinner you have 2 hours thank you and if I could speak with princess Erenia and prince Levi for a moment alone please!" That was everyone's que to leave with an assigned maid.
Levi and the princess entered a dark room only lit with a few candles. The king held onto the princess's shoulder tightly "would you like to share anything?" She shook her head no "Do you not speak?" Levi looked down at the floor seeing patterns on the carpet. His father beat him when he was younger anytime he talked back so Levi learned to just nod a yes when ever his father was around. Of course the habit grew and he hasn't spoken a word since the age of 5.
"No I speak perfectly fine" Erenia snapped.
"Good so would you like to tell a little seceret? Or shall I?" The king had crazyness in his eyes glowing brightly
"I dont want to" she protested. Levi saw a damsel in distress. she stomped on his foot and slapped him, finally to finish it off threw a glass of wine in his eyes. Levi knew he liked this girl. "Now if you would excuse me I need to get ready with Levi" she gripped his hand and dragged him off.
Behind a curtain that only had the sunset's secerets. "Okay first things first I'm not Erenia my name is Eren and I am NOT a princess I'm a prince but the agreement between my parents and yours" Levi only nodded his eyes wide "My parents bribed yours into this so no matter what we are to be married this is all a game to let the others down easily" Eren spoke the truth and nothing but the truth all because a few words were said.
"Hey umm Levi?" The princes turned to see Miara with blood on her face "where is the nearest bathroom i'm having trouble seeing." Levi almost threw up once again his father was awful to the servant girl. Blood oozed from a spot close to her forehead the colors around it was blue, purple, and black. His father must have been angry.
"May I speak with you?" Eren asked stepping aside as Miara could follow. "you can come to Levi if you promise not to tell," Levi nodded and followed his fiancee and best friend up the stairs to a balcony.
"This may sting a bit" Eren pressed his hand to her causing a warm tickling feeling to flow throughout her body it cleaned the blood and she felt no pain only happiness. Of course the bruises and their color stayed Eren wasn't strong enough to heal that "/hats all I could do, sorry" her eye still missing but she felt a lot happier.
How did he do that?
"Sorry I was cursed as a child we went to the doctor and we found out I was also given the ability to take away pain and sadness, anywho shall we?" Eren asked offering his hand to Levi "I'm sure they will miss us if we don't attened the dance" Levi thought for a moment no one knows he is a boy and my father won't be happy to know his son is gay I have to get him back into a dress. Levi picked up Eren and walked to his chambers setting Eren on the bed when he entered.
"We aren't even married dont you think that's a bit fast?" Levi turned red at Eren's thoughts. "Do you not speak?" Eren asked kindly earning a quick nod from Levi. "oh you can but don't want to?" Levi nodded "alright fine than what is it you dragged me here for?" Levi opened a drawer with a dress tucked away inside. with steady movements Levi lifted the dress and gave it to Eren shoving him into the bathroom.
Eren carfully slipped into the dress with his corset still on. "Wow I look more like a girl than a guy" Eren whispered. "Hey Levi I need some help buttoning it up!" Levi smiled entering the bathroom and buttoned his dress. He sat Eren down on a stool nearby.
"What are you-" Levi silenced him as he put on some steady and not to loud makeup to make the act more believable.
Levi ecsorted his ''bride'' to the dance of course they were the last to arrive.
"Prince Levi and princess Erenia!" the announcer said causing everyone to freeze.
Eren and Levi walked to his parents and his father wasn't to pleased to see Eren but he started to grin widely "Why don't you to start off the dance after all you are her escort are you not?" The king looked to his son who only nodded leading Eren onto the floor.
"U-mm Levi? one problem" Eren started nervous as the music started at a quick pace. "I cant dance!" Levi smiled and held onto Eren as he asked them to play a slower song.
Levi placed a hand on Eren's hip and entangled their fingers with his other hand while the other prince rest his other hand on Levi's shoulder. the music started and everyone danced. Eren tripped over his feet so eventually Levi just let Eren put his feet on his own besides he was in a dress no one would see.
Levi could see a lot of his actual mother in Eren. His smile and his laugh, his personality. So the dress fit beautifully around his waist. The dress was a blue green color with gleamings of gold which matched Eren's eyes. "Hey umm Levi?" Eren had to look down a little bit.
"Everyone please gather around I would like to announce the winnner" Everyone fell silent "Princess khan from intugelta!"
