#kinglevi

It was 10:30am. Damn, I only got 4 hours of sleep. How the hell am I going to get through today? Finally more awake then before to be able to think properly, but extremely sore, she quickly grabs one of her dresses from her suitcase and puts it on before Levi got out out the bathroom. She sits back down on the bed and patiently waits for him, ready to confront him for his actions and pain that he had caused her the night before, early this morning actually. 

Levi stepped out of the bathroom which made her jump a bit. He was wearing a towel over his waist and still had water droplets in his hair, he looks at her and gives her his soft smile that makes her stomach flutter. He walks towards her and takes off the towel around his waist and hangs it up, leaving him completely nude and walking right toward her. 

She expected the worst again. He's just going to do this all the time now isn't he? Asuna stands up and takes a few steps back, silently asking him to please not do this right now. Before she knew it he was right in front of her, cupping her cheek and passionately kissing her again, slipping some tongue. He lets go after a couple seconds then walks back to grab his pants and belt, putting it on. She breathes a sigh of relief and sits back down, not knowing what the hell to say. 

"Good morning," he breaks the silence. "You sleep well?"

"No, not particularly..." she replies, turning her back toward him, hoping that he got the hint as to why she got no sleep and why she is more terrified of him than she ever has been before. 

He starts to put on his white dress shirt with his trademark white ascot, looking in the mirror to make sure that his hair isn't messed up and that his ascot is straightened out, he finally finished by putting on his black blazer and tightening his belt. She could see him getting dressed in the corner of her eye but still refused to look at him, but he makes it back to her first before leaving.

"There is a lot of work to do before the wedding, I've already begun preparations for it. If everything goes as planned, it will be within the coming week." He says. Staring down at her while she continued to look down sitting on the side of the bed. She doesn't respond, she just listens and sighs.

"Hey," he raises his voice a just a bit which causes her to instinctively look up at him. He holds her chin up so she can look into his eyes. "Was your innocence really that important to you?"

"I had told you multiple times that I was not ready, and you did it anyway. You fucking tied me up, Levi." She breaks her silence. "What do you expect me to make of that?"

"The deal was when I took you was that you were mine, and you're going to be my wife." He replies. "Shouldn't a husband be able to do whatever he wants with his wife?"

"I'm not your wife yet... even then I don't think its in any rulebook that a husband is supposed to force himself onto his wife." she defies him. She may be terrified of him, but she had been raised to always defend herself against anybody that takes advantage of her, even if that one person happens to be the King. 

He looks at her and doesn't say anything, just thinking. She was right, though. He knew that when he had done what he did last night, then she was most likely going to hate him for it, or even be afraid of him, which she was. Though, at the same time he was confident that he would eventually gain her trust and get used to him and his ways. After all, she wasn't going anywhere. He tries to put both his hands on her face to look at her better, but she slaps his hand away.

"You told me... you would never hurt me!" she cries. Trying not to let tears run down her eyes once again, she wanted to be stronger from now on, considering her circumstances and her future as a Queen.

"Even if it's right or not right in your eyes, I don't plan to hurt you, nor stop what I want to do with you." Levi says. Preparing to walk off and leave her questioning her worth once again.

Asuna realizes that her version of 'hurt' and his are completely different. He wasn't going to change, he wasn't going to take her interests at heart. She got it now, he wasn't just humanities strongest nor the King of the Walls, he was a selfish asshole, who takes advantage of his own power and does what he wants to others, even his Queen. A part of her always knew, but now she was certain. He may have been attracted to her, but Levi only took her hand in marriage because he needed to get married, and rejected to marry any other girl that was thrown at him, and that the only reason she is here is for his mere entertainment. 

She sighs softly, the discreetly looks to her left towards the doors of their bedroom, then looking back up at him to see that he did not take his eyes off her the entire time.

"You planning to run away?" he asks.

"I am strongly considering it." 

He chuckles, giving her one last kiss to her forehead before walking away and heading for the door. She stands up and thinks in her head that she can probably make a run for it, but all the odds seemed to be against her. 

"Well, you can't." He turns back then opens the door to leave. "I have work to do, there should be maids coming in soon to help you with your wardrobe. Hange also insisted that she would be the one to show you around the castle, so get ready for that, too."

With that, he turns around and closes the door behind him. Hearing a lock shortly after, she groans in annoyance. Falling onto the bed face first and screaming into the pillow. Is this asshole really going to keep me locked in here the entire time? I sure fucking hope not. Asuna thought about what her rights will be as a Queen once her and Levi get married, maybe once it is official he won't be able to enforce her being locked in this room 24/7. So much for the version of 'never hurting her' or 'never treat her unfairly.' Did he actually say that? I don't remember. Regardless, he's not going to keep me in this fucking room forever.

She walks out to the balcony and feels the sunlight shine on her for the first time since she's been here. She sees the town beneath her, she hears the voices and commotion within it, as well as Wall Sina in the distance. She doesn't think she has ever seen the wall open like this before, and it was beautiful, all of it. Feeling the breeze against her face, she takes a deep breath and admires the life living below her. It is absolutely insane that a world like this is surrounded by giant monsters who want nothing but to eat us, not that I've ever seen one. Is this how it is going to be for life as we know it? 

She tries to lay back down, still exhausted from the events of last night as well as her lack of sleep. Now that he's gone, maybe she can just rest a bit before those maids or whoever he referred to were going to come in. She was surprisingly excited to meet new faces, the fear of the idea of her being trapped inside a room all day with nobody to talk to. I wish he would let me actually know him rather than just kiss me and fuck me, take my virginity, with no meaning behind it. All I've wanted was to feel loved by someone, if anything. I felt that kind of love with Harrison, but it was unfortunate that I didn't feel the same. 

This, on so many levels, was different. 

After about 20 minutes, Asuna closes her eyes and drifted off, the exhaustion that she's felt since this was all happening was finally catching up to her. The nerves calmed down, all the fear she felt was slowly slipping away, finally, she could rest her head in peace. 

Like she has been so many times, she was wrong. 

She hears a knock on the door, quickly shooting up from her slumber and looks at the door. Hearing it knock one more time, she doesn't know where to go from here. Do I say something? Or are they just going to walk in?

"Uhh, come in?" she hesitantly says.

After that, the door is unlocked and opens before she knew what was happening. A tall girl walks in with a hand maiden dress, she had short black haired and smiled at Asuna with delight and waved. Asuna gets up from the bed and rubs her eyes, attempting to wake up. Seeing the black haired girl waving at her, following her was five other handmaidens who came in with countless amount of dresses, clean sheets and towels and bows before her, as if she was some sort of Goddess. Ladies, please don't. I'm no Goddess, nor am I a Queen.

"Your Grace," the black haired girl bows to her, following the others to do the same. "We have been ordered to help you with your wardrobe and getting set up with everything!"

Your Grace? Are you kidding?  Deep down she didn't want anyone to call her that, but she expected that is what was expected of them, since she is now the Queen, or will be at least...in the coming week, she will be officially be titled as 'Your Grace,' despite not feeling that way at all, nor feeling like she could ever deserve that kind of title. 

"Hi." Asuna replies. Seeing all of the handmaidens await for her to give her cue for them to come forward and walk in. They didn't want to upset her or make her uncomfortable, after all. 

"May we come in?" the black haired girl asks politely. She can sense by their presence and their manners that they are only here to help. With that, she nods.

They all walk in as if they knew the bedroom by heart. Carrying in lots of clothing that was covered so that she couldn't see what they looked like beneath. All walking towards her and putting the clothes in her closet while quietly saying 'Your Grace' as they continued doing what they came to do. She didn't know what to do or what to say, politely nodding her head as they walked all around her. They must have been told not to speak to her unless spoken to, but that's not what she wanted at all. The only person who spoke up and broke the silence was the black haired girl, who came up to her and bowed in front of her. 

"Your Grace, we have been sent to get your wardrobe set up, as well as grant you with any request that you may need."

"Um, thank you!" she hesitantly replies. "Actually, I am pretty hungry, I... haven't eaten since..."

"Yes! Of course!" the black haired girl responds. "Shall we get you some breakfast?"

"Yes please." Asuna smiles, grateful to someone for actually granting her some kindness. With that, a couple of the maids nod and walk out to go get their Queen some food, while the others stayed and get up the dresses for her to try on, as well as changing the sheets to the bed, which were far from clean prior to the night before. As the two girls change the sheets to the bed, they saw small blood stains that covered it, they notice it and expected why they were there, but didn't say anything to avoid making their Queen feel awkward. 

Looking down in embarrassment, she got reminded again on everything that just happened the night prior, feeling slightly sad and defeated. The black haired girl stands in front of her and looks at her in sadness. She can probably guess why Asuna was feeling down, as well as why there were blood stains on the sheets, she wanted to comfort her and tell her that everything will get easier, and that she is going to be happy here, but at the moment, she wasn't happy at all.

"Are you okay?" the girl asks her. Asuna looks up and seems surprised on her asking her if she was alright. Do I really not look like I'm okay? I mean, I'm not... but I really don't want to look like I'm sad. 

That question seemed to get to her more than the maid girl expected it to. She looks up at the girl with an expression in her eyes that would break anyone's heart, her eyes started to water as she attempted to not break down once again. She nods without trying to show her true feels and smiles softly. 

"May I?" the black haired girl asks her while extending out her hands to grab hers. Asuna nods and takes her hands in hers, small tears finally slipping out as she couldn't hold it in anymore, especially if someone is nice enough to give her comfort while she goes through her this kind of stress. 

"It will get easier," the sweet maid girl reassures her. "I promise."

Asuna wipes her tears and chuckles softly. "I'm sorry, but can I ask who you are?"

"I'm Dana, Your Grace!" she responds joyfully, still holding onto her hands and squeezing them to comfort her. "I'm your new personal handmaiden!"

Personal handmaiden? She thought. Like somebody that's going to bathe and cloth me all the time? I'd really prefer to do that all myself... I mean, if she's going to be considered my personal handmaiden, she should let me know what I want. At least she seems sweet.

"It's nice... to meet you..." she replies shyly. "I'm sorry, I'm just a bit nervous."

"That's okay," she smiles back. "I can understand completely, but if there is anything you need at all, please ask me. There is nothing I want to do more but to make your new life here better."

Asuna smiles and silently thanks her. Maybe this personal handmaiden of hers will become somebody she can actually trust, somebody she can talk to whenever she needs it. Hange seemed like she'd be trustworthy and would be there for her when she needs it. Though, Hange was extremely busy all the time with Scout Regiment missions and her studies on the existence of the titans, Asuna doesn't want to bother her when she's occupied on other things. So with Dana, she was able to rely on her when she is going to need it most. 

"Shall we start with your wardrobe?" Dana asks. "We have brought lots of custom designed dresses that I think you'd look amazing in!"

She nods once again, not ever being treated like this before. She turns to see the other handmaidens who just changed the sheets to the bed grabbing out the dresses and items that were in her suitcase. Putting her pictures and other items that she brought to the side, they grabbed the dresses she brought and walked out with them, surprising her on what they are doing with her clothes.

"Wait, what are they doing?" Asuna questions. 

"You don't need those worn out clothes anymore, we're here to bring you new things to wear! After all, since you're going to be the Queen, you'll have to look presentable!" Dana answers her.

What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Wait, I'm not going to say that out loud, I don't want to be mean when she's just here trying to help. Are my clothes not good enough for this place? I mean, most of them were clothes I wore when I was working on the farm at home... But they didn't have to take them away, what the hell.

"I guess?" Asuna responds. 

All the handmaidens helped her undress and took turns helping her into different dresses. A lot of the dresses didn't fit her and started tightening around her waist, her breasts were too big for most of these which surprised the girls on how beautifully shaped she was. They had given her and tried on over 20 dresses that she can wear, the one she liked the best was the long, cream colored silk fabric dress that almost liked like Daenerys Targaryen's wedding dress. It was comfortable and soft, most of the dresses were like this and not too fancy that she would look like a Barbie doll. 

"You are absolutely gorgeous." one of the handmaidens said, warming Asuna's heart a bit. 

"Levi picked well." Another one said. 

"Yeah! I'm jealous!" One more said.

The comments from the other handmaidens made Dana glare at them to shut up as they quickly backed off. The last thing Dana wanted was for Asuna to be more uncomfortable and embarrassed than she already was. After all, four or five girls had came into her room, undressed her and had seen every inch of her body. Dana had decided that from there on she wouldn't bring so many handmaidens to help her dress to make Asuna more comfortable. 

After about an hour, they had given her new dresses and some nightgowns that she can wear to sleep, it didn't seem to bad, she actually really liked how they looked on her, she felt like a princess. As they had began to finish, other girls had finally brought in her breakfast which made her mouth water. She was so hungry, the other girls left, leaving her with just Dana to accompany her. It was a beautiful dish of with French toast and eggs, with some pancakes on the side. It looked so appetizing.

"Thank you for everything," Asuna gratefully says as she begins to dig in, feeling like she hasn't eaten in years. Dana smiles and feels like she was successful at making her Queen feel slightly better.

"Of course, Your Grace." she responds happily. "I just hope you eventually start to like it here, every girl in the kingdom, as well as in the castle, all wish they could be in your place right now."

Dana was right. She was luckier than most, especially on where she stands right now. Beautiful dresses, a luxurious room, and delicious food. The one thing that she wishes would be different was the behavior of her fiancee. She couldn't get the thought out of her head, will he ever change? Or is this just going to be how it is for her now? 

"Also, you don't need to call me that. Just Asuna is fine." She addresses. Dana nods. Anything for my Queen. Dana thought. After a couple minutes of Asuna enjoying her food as if she hadn't eaten in her entire life. She realizes that this new personal handmaiden of hers seemed to be someone who truly had her best interests at heart, unlike someone she knew. 

"I hate him..." Asuna said out of nowhere. Dana glanced at her and widened her eyes in shock, surprised on what she said as well as the idea that she is actually expressing her true feelings to her. 

"Levi-sama?"

"Who else? I don't know how I am going to get through any of this." she said, drinking the tea that was given to her with her breakfast. 

"It's only been one night, and I almost thought about running out the door and getting as far from here as I can." She finishes. 

"Like I said, it will get easier." Dana reassures her again. Knowing what she is referring to. He took her virginity against her will, didn't he? Great way to introduce your future wife to her new home. Damn it, Levi-sama.

"Listen," Dana continues. "I've been here a long time, and I have heard how scary Levi can be, but he's not a bad person. This kingdom is thriving because of him, and now he finally has someone that he can call his wife. You won't be stuck in this room forever, Your Gra- I mean, Asuna-sama. Just give it some time, I promise you everything... will work out."

Dana words really touched her, and surprisingly made her feel a bit more confident than she was before. She was also happy that she called her by her first name rather than Your Grace. I am really starting to like this girl. Asuna thought. 

She may have claimed that she hated Levi, but deep down she may feel like that's an overstatement. He may of hurt her and took advantage of her, with no feeling at all that he might deeply care for her, but he had to have chosen her to be his Queen for a reason, right? The words that Dana said gave her some hope that maybe he might eventually change, and this will all get easier soon. 

"Yeah..." Asuna responds. "Anyways, um.. I was told that Hange was going to come get me soon to show me around the castle. I'm actually quite curious to see all of it! Is she running late?"

A handmaiden girl comes and grabs her plate from the table as Dana tries to figure out the right way to respond. 

"Yeah, she hasn't forgotten!" Dana states. "She's just been a bit preoccupied with some serious business right now." 

With that, as the other handmaidens leave the room, Asuna sees that there are about four guards standing watch at her door, with strong alert in their stances, and other soldiers running by the hallway in a rush to get to their destination. That's weird, are there usually this many guards at my door? 

Confused, she agrees that Hange might have some business to work on before she could get to her. Though, she couldn't help but see the hesitation and fear that Dana had in her eyes, there must be something she wasn't telling her, because she seemed to tense up a bit as if there was something wrong. 

But what was it? What is wrong?

AN:

[I am sorry if this chapter was slow and boring, I am trying to get it so that we understand Asuna's (Or Y/N's) surroundings, also introducing new characters that seem like they can help her along the way. If you've gotten this far in my story, please let me know if you like it so far, I really appreciate you :)]

The one who was most shocked was the girl herself, Asuna, who almost collapsed on her feet while the man next to her kept her up right. The man, Harrison, held Asuna tight as she attempted to process what the King just said. She didn't react, she just stood there staring at the ground in complete shock, then looked back up at the King who had just asked for her hand in marriage. Harrison also looked up at Levi, with furious rage and anger, he was going to take her away, he was going to make her his, and it teared him up inside, knowing there was nothing he could do. 

Dan Reiss, was almost as shocked as his daughter. His mouth clinging open as he stood in front of the King with disbelief. He took a second to figure out if this was real or if it was another one of his drunk imaginations getting the best of him, but it wasn't, this was real, this was really happening. 

"I'm sorry, come again, Your Grace?" Dan asked, breaking the silence. 

"You heard me," Levi answered almost immediately. "Do I have to repeat myself? I hate doing that."

"Answer him!" Asuna screamed at Levi in absolute shock. She looked like she was about to break down, with the unknown man still holding her as if she was dying. He felt a tad bit of jealously when he saw Harrison holding her like that, he didn't understand why, he didn't know her, after all. 

Asuna put her hand over her mouth, trying to understand and attempted not to cry. Levi was a king, he was the most powerful man that humanity as we knew it had known. Countless rich and highborn girls were offered to Levi to be his wife, and all of them, he rejected. Angering the higher ups and his advisors, he continued to feast on girls who he didn't feel he needed to ever commit to, even though half of them managed to fall in love with him, despite his sadistic and lustful tendencies. And for the record, most of the girls he fucked were nothing but maids or the rich girls he met during business gatherings. 

For years, it was like this, he refused his advisors at every turn when they prompted him to marry, for years, he constantly refused. Until now, asking a small village girl who was far from rich at this point, who thought she was a nobody and continued to live her simple life caring for her childhood home, is now being asked to be King Levi's wife. 

"Dan Reiss, like I said, I will forgive your crimes. I will pardon all of the money you owe me that you don't have. I will not hold any grudges against you any longer, if you agree to let me have Asuna as my wife." Levi confronts. "I am not giving you an option to think it over, it is a yes or no question, you're smart enough, to know the outcome of both." 

Yep, this is really happening. Dan closes his eyes and looks down. He didn't have much time to think about it. Though, he realized that it was either his life ending or his daughter becoming the Queen of the Walls. If he chose no, then he would be dead and he would not have any idea what would happen to his daughter or her future. He expected the worst, he feels like even if he was killed by Levi at this very second, Levi would take her anyway. He gives it a lot of thought for about a minute which to Asuna felt like hours. He would rather stay alive and pardoned for his crimes rather than not know what would happen to his only daughter. He had decided. 

He turns to his daughter, who has gotten free from the grasp of Harrison and walks towards her dad and waits for his answer, small tears beginning to fall from her beautiful green eyes. He looks at her with sadness, as well as relief.  

He knew Levi was many things, but a liar, he was not. If he was going to take Asuna's hand in marriage, he would do it, she would be his wife, his Queen, he would protect her and keep her safe from harm to the best of his ability. When she becomes Queen, she will almost have just as the same amount of power as him, as well as the same rights as him. He couldn't help but feel, deep down, this seemed like revenge. He felt as if Levi didn't care about his daughter any less than he cared about any of the other girls he led into his bedroom, this was punishment for his crimes. He couldn't shake the feeling that this was the only reason he was truly asking for Asuna. Though, despite all of this, it was an acceptable offer, but, knowing this, he may never see his daughter again, or barely, at all. 

Levi breaks the silence once more and speaks up.

"Say yes." 

This was a shock to everyone, he didn't know her. He didn't feel like he cared for her at all or ever will care for her like a husband is supposed to. She would have a new life, a new start, instead of being the caretaker of this large piece of land he owned, she would be the Queen. And after one short answer he would give to Levi, the Queen is what she would become. 

"Honey..." Dan breaks his silence. "I'm sorry." 

Asuna gasped loudly, tears running down her face as she screamed that perhaps the village next heard her. She felt betrayed, unwanted, but at the same time, she knew deep down that it was either this or her father's execution. She runs up to her father and grabs him by his shoulders. Levi just stands there without moving, continuing to look at this confrontation happening in front of him. He doesn't say a word, and he wasn't going to change his mind. He wanted her all for himself. 

She holds him by his shoulders looking right into his eyes in denial not saying a word. She felt the same way he felt, she knew the outcome if he were to deny Levi's offer. He was either the death of her father or it wasn't. After a couple seconds of processing what was going to happen to her. She looks down and cries silently. 

"Okay." she says in defeat. 

And with that, everything changed. She knew she was about to leave her home and go with King Levi. This felt like a fever dream, she couldn't tell what her future was going to become nor what was in store for her. This world she lived in was huge. The walls she lived within were so unknown that she couldn't tell how large of a world she actually survived in. Wall Sina, Wall Rose, Wall Maria, soon, she would become the Queen of it all, and everyone who lived within them. She began to question everything about what she was going to become. As the Queen, would she just be merely a figurehead who is only known as Levi's wife? Or would she be able to truly make a difference to the kingdom? All of these thoughts continued to roam around her brain as she continued to process her fate. Before she knew it, everyone of Levi's men and guards had realized that they might finally have someone they can call Queen.

"NO!" the man who Levi didn't know the same of yet screamed as loud as he could. Asuna and Dan turned around and prompted him to stop, but he didn't. "You... can't...!" he begins to get emotional. 

"Harrison, don't." Dan responds to him. "It is already done." 

"You're name is Harrison, huh?" Levi intrudes on the feud. "Harrison, did you just say I can't?" 

"Levi, let's not make this a harder situation than it already is." Erwin and Hange stop him. 

Harrison, the man in question, finally realizes he actually couldn't do anything at all. All amount of protest would mean nothing. His boss was right, it was already done. Asuna was taken from his grasp at the blink of one permanent offer. He looks down, not looking at anything but the ground below him. Nodding and sighing in defeat. Though, if this man wasn't the King, Harrison would be grabbing and punching him until he was wheezing and coughing up blood on the ground. Even though in reality, Harrison wouldn't stand a chance against Levi. 

Harrison absolutely hated what was happening, he never admitted it out loud or told anybody, but he loved her. Growing up together on Dan's estate, and him practicing his last name with Asuna's. He was waiting until they were official to ask her to marry him and run off with together to live their life, but now, all of those dreams were thrown out the window in a matter of a second. Asuna wasn't ever going to be his, she belonged to Levi now, the deed was done, it was over, and he had to cough it up. 

Dan turns around and looks back at the King. "Yes, Your Grace, you can have my daughter's hand in marriage." he finally answers officially. 

Levi looks up and sighs while smirking a bit, almost as if he was happy at Dan's answer. He tightly hugs his daughter as she cries on his shoulder, and as they turned around, they saw every one of Levi's acquaintances look at each other and nod, them too slowly realizing that this was really happening as well. With that, they all get down on their knees and kneel, laying their arms at their knees as they bow to their new Queen. 

Asuna is stunned. All her father had to do was say yes, and now suddenly she is treated like a royal. It took one word, and that word was yes. Yet, she herself had no words. Softly wiping her tears away and accepting her new reality. She actually disliked what they were doing, she was no queen, she was just a simple farm girl who had no true line of royal blood, that she knew of, anyway. 

She let go of her father and watched as everyone around her kneeled before her. Dan and Harrison both stepped back behind her with expressionless faces, but secretly, Dan was happy and relieved. Not because he was going to live to see another day, but that his sweet daughter was going to be the most powerful woman within the walls.

There was no point to this, she thought. There was no reason for them to be bowing to her, she didn't do anything,  she didn't prove anything to them. Finally coming to her senses, she looked up, stood tall, and glared at her future husband. 

Levi walked toward her, not losing eye contact with her pretty eyes that he was captivated by from the moment he saw her. He takes her right hand in his, softly smiling at her as he kisses her palm then puts it down. 

"It's truly nice to meet you, Asuna."

She doesn't respond back with a friendly greeting. Instead, she softly speaks. "Why me?" He looks at her and softly responds back, in a way that nobody around them could hear what he was saying to her. 

"Not sure, actually. But we can't change the past now, can we?"

[Chap. 3 coming to Tumblr soon! I am also creating a master list that will most likely be up by chapter 5. Thank you:)]

"You settling in okay?" he asks quietly. 

It takes her a few seconds to say something, still trying to fight the shyness and nervousness she felt around him. She didn't want to complain to him for anything, she was too nervous to say that there wasn't any clothes or nightgowns for her to put on. Maybe she should have packed a little better. 

"Yeah, it's great. Thank you." 

"I expected you might have been asleep by now," He says. "You must have had a long day."

"Yeah," she chuckles, scratching her head. "I did. I was having a bit of a hard time falling asleep, though... but view is great!"

"I'm glad." Levi answers almost immediately. Slowly walking towards her. She takes a deep breath and stays where she is, waiting for him to come to her. Her heart begins racing with each step he walked towards her, but she doesn't back up, she stands tall and gives it everything in her power not to look weak in front of him. Finally, he approaches her, standing right in front of her, slightly taller than her, so she had to raise her chin up a bit. He doesn't say anything, just attempting to admire how beautiful his future wife was as her pretty features shined with the help of the moonlight that spread across the bedroom. 

"Are you scared of me?" he asks. As he said that, he put his hand around her waist which causes her to flinch and tense up. 

She looks back up at him. "A little."

"Why?" he grips her waste a little tighter, pulling her closer to him. Causing her to unwillingly push her hands against his chest. Her cheeks begin to fluster as she tried to back up, but he didn't let her, he was way stronger than he looked. 

"I..." she tries to respond, but couldn't bring herself to say a word.

"C'mon, use your words."

"I'm... still trying to figure out what your motive is for picking me out of all people to be your wife..." she answers his question, way more tensed up than before, afraid of what his answer will be. She already confronted him about this situation shortly before, but he ignored it. 

He chuckles softly, letting go of her and walking out to the balcony, still in ears length so she can hear what he says considering his voice is so quiet, emotionless, and stoic. He looks out with his back behind her, admiring the view as she just did minutes prior. He pulls out something out of his shirt pocket, it looked like a pack of cigarettes, he grabbed one and put it in his mouth, lighting it with a match. 

"I didn't peg you for a stupid little brat in the slightest..." He says while taking a puff and looking back at her. "Do you not already know the answer to that question?"

"No, actually..." She laughs, continuing the confrontation. "Never mind, I do! You did all of this because of my father." 

He takes his cigarette and puts it to the side, not taking his eyes off of her. The moonlight was reflecting off his face and showing his off his gorgeous features. This was the first time she was actually admiring what the man looked like. He was so handsome, with the perfect facial features and his pretty black hair with it parted in the middle. She tries to hide her secret admiration that she is currently feeling toward him. Though denies any of it due to the look in her eyes. 

"You may be right," he slowly talks towards her, throwing the cigarette off the balcony and loosening his shirt to get more comfortable. "But, it's quite hard to explain it... It wasn't just about your father, Asuna..."

He took a few seconds to keep looking at her before he continued. 

"It was you as well, brat."

With that, he starts to put both of his hands around her waist again, more tighter than before. Leaning himself against her. She didn't have any words, she tried so hard to believe him when he said that it wasn't just about her dad. If her father had never owed money to Levi, he would have never known she existed, he would have most likely fallen for another girl who would have to ensue what she's going through right now, and probably enjoy it a lot more than she is. In fact, she wasn't enjoying it. She was scared. Stop thinking of the alternatives. She thought. There is nothing I can do now. 

She tries to back away, but he keeps her in place. Levi leaning in so that they are both looking in each other's eyes. Asuna had never been so unsure before, not knowing what was going to happen next but she could try to take a few guesses. Still attempting to back away, before she knew it, he leaned in with both of his hands still wrapped around her waist, and put his lips against hers. 

It took her so long to process it. He doesn't even know me. She kept thinking to herself. Why the hell is this happening? She kept her eyes open trying to process the kiss. Her very first kiss, actually. 

Without thinking about it, she eventually kissed back, giving up and just doing it, and probably for the first time since she got here, she wasn't scared. Maybe Levi wasn't who most people say he was? Maybe he was a decent and sweet person after all who will treat his girl with the respect she deserves. 

She was wrong. 

The kiss lasted a few minutes, with her eventually putting her arms around his neck and kissing him passionately. The longer the kiss lasted, the tighter he held onto her. He eventually started to grip at her waist that made her groan a bit without meaning to, turning him on even more. Feeling up and down her entire body. She soon put her arms back down to try to pull him away from the kiss, but he refused, he continued to kiss her. He eventually slipped his tongue into her mouth, which was something she was far from used to, and forcibly pushed him and backed away in shock. She looked at him, eyes widened and afraid to say anything at all nor move a muscle. He continued to look at her with that casual emotionless expression that looked like he didn't care about anything in the world. 

"Tell me, Asuna," Levi asks her with curiosity. "Are you a virgin?"

She still had no words, backing up a bit more and looking at him in confusion, in complete shock and fear. She didn't want to answer, but despite knowing that either way it would most likely turn out to be the same outcome she sadly expected. 

"Yes..." she responded. Almost with tears in her eyes. 

She knew. She knew what he was about to do and she also knew that there was absolutely nothing she could do to stop what was coming for her. 

Gosh, she was pretty. Levi thought. I wonder what she tastes like. 

"Asuna..." Levi said quietly, walking back towards her, softly putting his hand back on her hip.

"Do you really think this is going to turn out the way you want it to?"

He pushes her to towards the wall, holding her so she wouldn't trip beneath her feet. At this point so there was nowhere for her to go. He puts his hand on her cheek and wipes the coming tears from her eyes. She is so beautiful, even when she cries. She accepts her defeat, which is something she felt she has done ever since she met him. 

"Please..." she pleads. 

He answers her with another kiss on her lips, this time forcing his tongue right into her mouth and making out with her passionately. From the moment he saw her, this is all he has been thinking about, he wasn't going to hold back anymore. Now that she was his, sitting all by themselves in the comfort of their own bedroom, he was going to do exactly what he wanted with her. 

"Shhh," he whispers in her ear after letting go of the kiss, continuing to hold her tears. "It's okay, try to calm down."

She couldn't fulfill his request, all she did was try not to break down and sob as he continues to put his hands all around her body while continuing to kiss her. He led her toward the bed and continued, beginning to undo the corset of her dress. He lets go of the kiss to focus on undoing her dress, loosening it so that it started to fall off her shoulders. She grabs her dress before it could fall past her breasts, refusing to move it any further.

"Levi..." she pleads again. "I'm not ready for this."

"It would be cruel not to prepare you for this, baby." he responds, finally undoing her dress and letting it fall down to the floor, leaving her in just her underwear. 

Almost completely bare in front of a man for the first time, tears start flowing in her eyes even more, trying to not looking at him as he wiped them with his finger. She held her arms over her breasts to hide them, continuing to cry. 

"Please..." she says once more. A huge emotion he had never felt before clouded Levi's grey eyes. She couldn't tell what his eyes expressed, was it disappointment? Sadness? Lust? Love? Despite not knowing, he looked right into her eyes as she looked back, and she stayed hiding herself with her arms. 

He cups her cheek again and continues to wipe her endless tears. Whispering sweet nothings as he feels her bare skin. He could not stand it any longer, he finally was going to see her pretty boobs whether she liked it or not. He grabbed her wrists as softly as he could manage, and pulled her arms away, exposing all of her to him. He was memorized.   

"Do you know how beautiful you are?" he says. Beginning to kiss her neck and all over. Pulling her into him into a forced hug, continuing to kiss the base of her chin and down below her neck.

He examined her entire body, feeling every inch before cupping her breasts and feeling the softness of them. Taking his time to see every inch of her body. She was beautiful, perfect. Her perfect hourglass shape, her soft, smooth body, her perfect breasts, and not to mention her beautiful face that he couldn't get enough of. He just stood there and looked at her for what felt like hours to Asuna, tears still coming out of her eyes. He wished she wouldn't cry, he hated that she was so scared, but he couldn't blame her. New home, new town, new people surrounding her, and even a new fiancee in the matter of one day. He thought about fulfilling her wishes and backing off, giving her some space for a little longer, but tonight he felt like being a little selfish, even if it meant her hating him forever. But it didn't matter, she wasn't going anywhere with him in control of everyone around him. 

He puts his hand on the back of her head, feeling her soft dirty blonde hair that smells like it had just been washed. He kisses her once again, and to his surprise, she kissed back. He couldn't tell if she kissed back because she didn't have a choice, if she was actually enjoying this, or if she was kissing back because it would be awkward not to. 

Suddenly, he let go, loosening his shirt up a bit more as she stood there breathing nervously. 

"Lay on the bed." He demanded, walking away to search for something from inside his closet. She didn't want to do what he was told but at this point it seems like he would get his way no matter what. Wiping the tears from her eyes and sitting down on her side of the bed, covering her breasts with her arms once more, and patiently looking at him to see what he was trying to find in his closet. 

He didn't say anything, they had not spoken in several minutes. She didn't know what to say at this point, all she wanted to do was run away and hide somewhere where he couldn't catch her. Mainly he didn't say anything either because he was too focused on the thought of feeling himself inside of her, kissing and feeling every inch of her body, and being on top of her without anywhere for her to go, making her his forever. She attempted once again to try to stop this from happening, but deep down she knew it was no use. 

"Levi..." she says quietly, trying not to break down again. He doesn't look at her, still continuing to rummage through his drawers. What the hell is he looking for that is taking him so hard to find what he's looking for? I guess I'll find out soon enough. 

"Please... I'm scared."

"Found it." He says, hearing every word of her plea but ignoring it. Turning around, he walks towards her with some sort of rope in his hand, unbuttoning his shirt more and getting on the bed next to her. 

"What the hell is that?!" Asuna yells, trying to back up but he grabs her by the waist with his immense strength, removing her arms from her chest once again so he can see her. 

"Just a little something to keep you in place, I haven't used this on someone in a long time." He states, terrifying her even more.

"Please..." she says once more. 

"Is that your favorite word? Please?" He is on top of her at this point, looking her her with lust and desire. She loses control of herself again and starts crying softly. 

"Shh, it's okay." he responds with a sad attempt at reassuring her. "Put your arms above your head."

She shook her head in fear. "No.."

"Do I have to do it for you?" he says, glaring at her with an expression in his eyes that she couldn't interpret.

Realizing there was no alternative in this situation, she does what she's told. Putting her arms up slowly in a shaken state that he thought she was going to have a seizure. He quickly put her right  wrist over the other and started tying the rope around her wrists. After securing her wrists, he ties the other end of the rope to the headboard, not too tightly that it would hurt her, but tight enough that she couldn't get free. 

"There," he says while putting his hand on her cheek and rubbing the tears away with his thumb. "You're all set."

He gets off the bed and walks back toward the balcony, unbuttoning the rest of his shirt and laying it on a chair next to a desk in the corner. Leaving him in just his black slacks that were loosely falling off due to not having a belt on, exposing his v-line and boxers underneath. She finally sees the Greek God like body that he has, he was gorgeous, sexy abs and such good muscles. He grabs another cigarette and lights it, puffing it as he looks out at the balcony, while looking back and admiring her almost naked body tied up, as he continued to have a smoke. 

She attempts to break free, struggling to move around as the rope tying her wrists wouldn't let her slide forward or sideways. She was completely exposed, breasts hanging out while the breeze of the still open balcony hit her bare flesh, causing her to chill up a bit. Without trying to, she could feel herself getting wet and it seeping through her underwear. Fuck... why do I feel like this? she thought. Never being naked in front of a man before let alone ever having sex before, and now she's going to experience her first time being tied up unwillingly and completely dominated, some would say humiliated. 

"Why me??" she sobs while looking up at the ceiling, moving around struggling to get free. Refusing to glance over at him. "You could have picked any other girl in this kingdom and yet you chose me! WHY?!" she screams.

He finished his cigarette and throws the butt off the balcony once more, walking back towards her and not saying anything as she cries in defeat and embarrassment. He starts to take his pants off, as she watches helplessly, finally throwing off his boxers as well, letting his cock spring free.

She gasps as he got back on the bed and laid on top of her. Oh my God. He was huge. She thought. The size of his dick almost scared her as it was fully erect and dripping with pre cum. Are all dicks this big? Or is he some sort of God?

"I didn't just choose you," he said. Beginning to trail his hand all over waste and hips, which sent chills down her spine. Taking off her underwear finally and throwing it on the floor. Eventually pulling his hand down to feel the warmth of her heat, making her groan, not ever feeling someone touch her down there before. Kissing her and putting his other hand on her right breast, massaging it. 

He lets go of the kiss, "I chose the most fierce, prettiest girl I have ever seen." 

He didn't give her a chance to respond, right after saying that, he slides two fingers inside of her, making her arch her back a bit and moan softly. Gosh she was so tight. He slowly pumps them in and out as jolts run through her body furiously.

"Shit, so wet for me already?" he whispers at he starts kissing the base of her neck. "Maybe you are enjoying this after all."

He starts pumping his fingers in faster, as she begins to moan without being able to control it, she tried to bite her lip to stop herself from moaning any louder, but that just excited him even more. 

"N-No!" she responds, refusing to accept that maybe this does feel slightly good. He fingers her a little longer before taking them out and moving up to her bundle of nerves. "I'm not.. enjoyi- hah!"

She couldn't finish her sentence as he begins to rub her clit with his thumb, still massaging her breast and starting to pinch her sensitive nipples. She couldn't take it any longer. Not being able to move her arms to slap him away she tried to close her legs to stop the immense pleasure that she was feeling, but at the same time, repulsion, but he forces them open, spreading her legs even more so he can get a better sight of her pretty pussy.

"Do I need to tie your legs up, too? Because I will." he says, still rubbing her sensitive bundle of nerves faster than before, as she breathes heavily and moans louder. Her eyes widen and she shook her head profusely. God, please no. That would make this situation so much worse. 

She tries not to close her legs this time so he doesn't go through with his threat and ties her legs up too. He continues to rub her clit faster that she can feel herself about to finish, he can see that she was about to orgasm, but he was far from done with her yet. He stops suddenly, which secretly frustrated her as she was about to hit her climax. He leans down a little more to keep kissing her and giving the same attention to her other breast and pinching the nipple, putting one in his hand and the other in his mouth, going back to rubbing her heat and feeling the wetness of her cunt. 

"Levi," she says almost out of breath. Cheeks red and flushed as she tries to hide the pleasure she was secretly feeling from all of this. 

"Hm?" he responds to her surprise. 

"Can you.... please untie me?" 

He just chuckles, pressing his lips against hers once again and went down to reach above her knee and softly grab her leg, pulling it up so it was resting on his hip, rubbing her clit a little more. 

"Not yet..." 

Before she knew it, his cock was positioned right in front of her entrance, slowly rubbing it against her folds to prep her a little more. 

"Like I said before, gorgeous. It would be cruel and stupid not to prepare you for this."

She started crying again. She didn't feel prepared at all, in fact, quite the opposite. She had a couple girlfriends that she would hang out with occasionally at the village near her estate on her free time, and every single one of them said that their first time was extremely painful, but it gets slightly better at the end. Gosh, if only her friends could see where she is now. She closed her eyes and accepts the inevitable, knowing this was certainly going to happen eventually, sooner or later. 

"Please, don't." 

Levi wishes she would stop resisting, it would be a lot easier for her if she tried to enjoy this. He kisses all over her face, her neck, her shoulders, her chest, shushing her softy in an almost reassuring way as he continued to rub his member softy against her heat, but not putting it in just yet to giving her enough time to be ready for him. 

"Open your eyes, Asuna." He demands her. She does what she's told and looks right into his eyes. He puts his other hand on her other thigh and moves them so her legs are now wrapping around his waist. She wanted to move them, but remembered his threat of tying her legs too, she was too afraid to move. 

He positioned his dick right in front of her entrance as he slowly eased himself inside of her. She arched her back and yelped in pain and tried not to scream so the whole palace could hear her. He continued pushing himself inside her slowly, trying not to overdue it knowing that it was painful for her. Soon enough, he was balls deep inside of her as he felt something drip out of her as she yelped and cried. He looked down to see a bit of blood seeping out the sides of her heat, but looked back up at her as she closed her eyes again instinctively. A virgin, she was no longer. He continues to look at her pretty face and smashes his lips on hers once again, softly wrapping his arms around her legs and beginning to thrust into her slowly. 

She started to moan into the kiss, wishing her wrists weren't tied to the bed so she could grab on to him for support. He started to thrust a little harder with each one, feeling like he could cum right now at how incredibly tight and sexy she was. He lets go of the kiss and moves his body back up, arms still clinging to her hips as he attempted to get a better sight as her beautiful body and her tits bouncing with each thrust. He couldn't help but feel how tensed up she was, her legs were stiffer then a board and she continued to shake and squeeze her eyes shut instead of looking at him.

"Relax, just try to enjoy it, you're doing so good." he whispers to her, starting to moan softly himself.

She attempted to try to relax, maybe it would be less uncomfortable if she actually did try to enjoy it. The thing was, it was so painful. She could feel herself stretch out and suck him in, but as he continued thrusting inside of her it started to feel slightly better, almost a satisfying type of pain. She couldn't explain it, the coil in her stomach started to tighten more and she began moaning less forcibly. 

Seeing that she is relaxing under him a bit more, he starts to go faster, making her moan louder as she could see the bulge forming in her stomach. Holy shit, is he really that deep? She was so wet that he was easily sliding in and out of her. He grabs both her breasts with his hands and before she knew it, he was fucking her into the mattress. She started moaning uncontrollably as she gets comfortable enough to look back into his eyes, and he's looking down at her with admiration. He falls back down and presses his chest against hers and continues.

"Levi, please... I'm-" with that she starts screaming louder, tears still forming in her eyes. Her friends at the village were right, it was painful, but it gets slightly better after a little bit, it didn't make it any less uncomfortable for her though. 

After about 15-20 minutes, he pulls out slowly, as the juices from her pussy start seeping out as well. She doesn't think he finished, but it looks like he was so close to. He kisses her once last time as he begins to untie her wrists from the headboard. 

He frees her from the rope and takes a quick look at her wrists to make sure he didn't tie it too tight. Checking for red marks and friction burns, he starts rubbing her wrists to comfort them as he kisses her forehead and gets off the bed, leaving her naked and in shock. 

"I would have came inside you, but I feel like it's a little too much for you right now. After all it is your first time, and your first night here. Don't want to overdo it, right?" He smirks and grabs a towel from the drawers of his closet, walks to the bathroom and closes the door, starting the shower, not saying another word. 

Overdo it? she laughed to herself. Seriously? If what he just did doesn't count to him as 'overdoing' it, what the hell would overdoing it actually mean? Oh god. 

Leaving her exposed and naked on the bed, trembling in fright at what just happened, she could hardly move. Legs shaking as her pussy still dripping wet, her legs were so sore she felt like she was going to collapse on her knees. After taking a few minutes to try to gather herself to get up, she quickly grabs her underwear that was thrown on the floor and puts it back on. She quickly tries to find her dress that was ripped off her but couldn't find it. She looks everywhere then eventually spots it almost tucked underneath the bed, she quickly grabs it and tries to put it on, but it took her a few seconds to realizes it was ripped apart. Did this happen as he was taking it off me? I sure hope he didn't do this intentionally so that I could be naked for the rest of the night. She turns to look at the clock to see that it was almost 6am. It didn't matter at this point, she was too exhausted to even think about anything anymore, not even the thought of grabbing another thing to wear from her suitcase. She just fell back into the bed and hid her exposed body underneath the covers and laid down. 

Still shaking. She comes back to reality and realizes this is her new husband. This was her life now. Being Levi's wife and queen also meant being his little sex toy, with no thought but to please himself. But at the same time, she couldn't shake the thought of how he kissed her, how he held her, how he looked at her. How he immediately made her his without barely knowing her, a part of that, she slightly admired.

Crying a bit more, she hides herself more under the covers, afraid for when Levi walks out of that bathroom, but before she knew it, she passed out. 

[ fucking 4.7k words- my bad. I hope it kept your attention and it was very hard for me to write this considering it is literally SA, but I promise you, the bad also comes with all the good in everything. I wasn't going to post this today but fuck it, here's ur smut. Next chapter being posted on Tumblr very soon. Thank u <3]

Levi walks towards the balcony slowly, seeing her sitting on one of the balcony chairs, staring straight ahead. She knew he was there, but she refused to turn around. She was completely mentally drained and exhausted, not just from earlier in his office, from everything. It was time for him to say his peace. Levi takes a deep breath and looks at her with a soft expression, despite her not looking back. Finally, he tries to speak.

"I'm sorry." He says quietly, but still not taking his eyes off her. 

It takes a few seconds for her to gather the strength to turn around and look at him. Not getting out of the chair, she looks at him watching her from a few feet away. The look in her eyes made his heart skip a beat. She was so beautiful, even when she was sad, even when she looked at him with uncertainty and anger. She doesn't respond. He may have just apologized, but for what? He was going to have to say more if he wanted her to actually understand.

"Really? Are you?" She speaks up. "For what?"

"You know what."

"Maybe, but you need to be more specific than that."

Levi glares at her and signs in annoyance. "What the fuck do you want me to say?" He states without trying to raise his voice at her. 

"Oh, I don't know?" She coos sarcastically. "For starters, maybe you're sorry for leaving me in the dark?! Not telling me the truth about the threats against me and keeping secrets? For ignoring me? For locking me in this damn room while you're away doing God knows what?"

"I haven't been locking the door recently-"

She continues, ignoring his stupid comment. "Or maybe that you're sorry for leaving me in the dark?! Not telling me the truth about the threats against me and keeping secrets? Oh! Or maybe that you're sorry for forcing yourself onto me the first night I came here, and continuing to do so after that, without attempting to get to know me or have any thoughts for my feelings at all?! For simply marrying me and having me in your bed for the mere fact that you want to get back at my father!" Her voice raises, almost yelling at this point. 

Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. She thought to herself. God. My stomach hurts. 

He stays silent for a few moments, looking down, feeling unworthy to look in her eyes right now. Once again, she has rendered him speechless. He has never in his life had a conversation like this before with a girl. Or more like, a girl he cares about... so much, and he didn't know why, it was driving him insane. 

"Well?!" She speaks up again, but he gives no response. He had really hoped that she didn't notice the sweat that was coming down his forehead at his sorry attempt at trying to figure out how to talk to her. 

He still says nothing, trying to build up the words to speak. She was right, and he knew it. He just sat there and wondered how on Earth he was doing to fix this. 

"Whatever." She says, wiping a lone tear that was falling from her cheek. She attempts to walk off, not wanting to be in the same room as him any longer, but he stops her as she tries to walk past him, grabbing her arm lightly. 

"Wait." 

She stops and looks up at him, hoping that finally he will say something. 

"You're right." Levi says in a monotone voice, stopping again for several seconds. "You... You deserve better."

"I know." She responds, pulling her arm away from his grasp and sitting down on the bed, looking down as he stands in front of her from a few feet away.

"I guess I didn't do a very good job at explaining it earlier." He admits, taking in a deep breath, trying his hardest to gather the words. He walked closer toward her, looking down at her while she sat down on the bed. She was so eager to hear what else he had to say. 

"When I was notified about the anonymous kidnapping threats against you, I panicked. All I wanted to do was keep you safe and away from all of this bullshit, I didn't want to stress you out more." He stops... looks down at her with eyes that are filled with genuine honesty. She looks up at him, continuing to listen. Between them both, they can't get over how gorgeous they both look to each other, the moonlight was hitting both of their faces so perfectly. 

"After earlier, I realized I can't stand when you're upset with me." He puts a hand on her shoulder, rubbing it softly, causing her to tense up a bit. "I... I will try to be more honest with you from now on..." He pauses again. 

"You will try?" She speaks up, trying to keep her cool. Though it seems like that's as best as she's going to get at this moment with him. She sighs and closes her eyes in frustration. "Okay..." 

"I know you don't want to be here... and you never asked for this..." Levi continues. "I...I can't explain it... The way I feel about you, I just... I want to hold you. Protect you. Keep you safe from anyone who could hurt you..."

She stays silent, taking in every word he's saying, while trying not to feel flustered inside at his words.

"I... I do want to know you." He says the words she's been wanting to hear since she got here. "I just... I don't know how to. I've never had a relationship like this before, with anyone." 

Asuna gets up, looking up at him and moving closer. This is probably the first time since she's met Levi that she feels truly touched at his words. She hopes he isn't just saying all of this just to calm her down, but when looking into his eyes as he speaks, she notices that the emotion in his face is nothing but genuine, a look she hasn't seen him wear before. Maybe he really is being honest, maybe he really does want to change for her, but this doesn't mean that things are entirely fixed on her end. 

"You won't know how to until you try." She responds, giving him a soft smile that makes his heart beat faster. He nods lightly, and attempts to take his hand in hers, which she does back. 

"Please... don't shut me out anymore." Asuna says, almost pleading quietly. He squeezes her hand tighter, while putting his other hand on her cheek and caresses it, which causes her to melt to his touch. She may still be unsure about him, but she can't deny the fluttering in her stomach when he holds her in his arms. Though he still doesn't say anything back. 

"Levi?"

"Yeah?" He responds, completely lost in her eyes.

"Did you hear what I said?"

"Yeah." He sighs, pausing. "I never wanted to shut you out."

"You already have!" She raises her voice, letting go of his hand and attempting to walk away again.

"No..." He grabs her hand again, pulling her back to him and wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her in place with his hands caressing her back. "Please. Don't leave."

"What do you want from me?" She says as he holds her tightly, his lips inches from her's. 

"I don't know..." He hesitantly says, hoping she won't try to get away from him again to that response. "I just want... you..." 

With that, he puts his forehead to hers and tries to lean in for a kiss after a few seconds, but she pulls back. Moving her face away from him in an attempt to tell him she is still extremely upset. Trying to keep her tears from running again, she closes her eyes and contemplates her intimate future with Levi Ackerman.

"I'm sorry." He says once again, catching her attention as she looks up at him, her eyes watering. He moves his hand up to her cheek once again and wipes the coming tears from her pretty eyes. "Please... Don't leave. Don't hate me. I'm sorry." 

"I know..." She says in a crying state. She didn't know what to do at this point. Should she just accept his apology and go from here? Or should she continue arguing with him until she gets a response out of him that fully satisfies her? She decided she was better off going with the first option, she didn't try to break free from his grasp, she just stood there, speechless. He kisses her forehead and all over her face before pulling her into a hug. He held her tightly as he caressed one hand over her soft hair while the other caressed her back. Her hands were flat against his chest, not hugging him back, instead just crying. She wasn't scared of him anymore, this conversation they had caused her to get to know his personality and what kind of person he was a whole lot better. She wasn't crying because she was scared, she was crying because she just wanted him to simply love her like she deserves, hold her because he wanted to. Kiss her without the thought of sex behind his mind. This conversation didn't fix everything, mainly she realized what a complicated and troubled man he was. This wasn't going to solve all of their problems, but it was a start. 

He kisses the top of her head, holding her tighter and tighter with each moment that passes by. He has never felt so nervous in front of a girl before, he cursed himself quietly as he tried to understand this brand new feeling. He was too nervous to tell her, but he was going to try to do better. He wanted her to feel loved, to feel special, to feel like she could come to him for anything she needed. With this feeling being so new to him, he wasn't sure how well he was going to do with his attempt at doing better, but he was going to try. 

"Do you forgive me?" Levi asks, breaking the silence, responding with a lighter and kinder voice. She looks up at him, seeing that he has a soft smile on his face as he rubs the back of her head. She sighs, eventually hugs him back, burying her face in his chest. 

"You're going to have to try harder than that, Levi Ackerman." She responds as she smiles under her nose and continues to hide her face in his chest. He smiles too, chuckling a bit, moving her head up to look at him as he holds her face in his hands. Attempting to lean in for another kiss, hoping she won't pull away again. His lips softly touched hers, her lips were so soft, Levi wishes that he can stay in this moment forever. 

After a few moments, he lifts her off her feet. Carrying her as she wrapped her legs around his waist, arms around his neck. He grabs her ass as he makes out with her some more, holding her as tightly as he could, almost as if she would disappear if he let her go. He softly sets her down on their shared bed, crawling on top of her and caging her between his arms. She felt the heat between her legs get wetter, as she craved his touch more and more each second. He kissed her more, lightly slipping some tongue in as she grabbed his hair in desperation. Before this, he would have sex with her without her being 100% sure about any of it, but this time, she believed, was the first time ever that she was sure. She wanted him, and she wanted him now. 

He lets go of the kiss as he peppers her neck and chest with kisses, moaning as he kisses her. He just couldn't ever get enough of her, ever. He was happy that she wanted him as much as he did at this moment. 

I'll make it up to you. He thought to himself. I won't ever let anything happen to you. I'll be there for you, I promise. I love you.

He eventually moved his hands down to her legs, softly pushing her long silk dress up to her thighs, continuing to kiss all over her neck and above her breasts. She pushes away from him and looks up, which catches his attention as he stops. 

"Do you not want to?" He asks, kissing her lips and all over her face with love and care. "We can stop if you want."

Asuna didn't have words at first. She never thought she would ever hear those words come out of his mouth. She thought it would always just be him doing what he wanted with her with her either consenting to it or not. Maybe he really was trying. She believed him when he mentioned that he just couldn't stand it when she was upset with him. She just hoped that he can stick to what he told her and not shut her out any longer. Hopefully. 

She smiled, moving her hand up to caress his beautiful face. She moves up to kiss him on the lips again, pulling him back down again as he rests his forehead on hers. Guiding his hands back to her hips and moving her dress up some more, exposing her panties. She smiles softly at her as he waits for her to answer.

"No. I want to. I want you, Levi." 

He didn't need another confirmation from her. With that, she smashes his lips on hers once again, gently pushing her dress up and undoing the corset from behind. Pushing her dress up above her head and throwing it to the side, quickly pulling her panties off and admiring her beautiful, naked body which was lying beneath him. He grabs her breasts, squeezing them and pinching her hardened nipples, causing her to cry out in pleasure. Kissing her all over her body as he kissed both her breasts and trailed down to her stomach. Rubbing and feeling all over her body, moving lower and lower down to her heat. She moans at his kisses, pulling his hair and looking down as he continues to kiss lower. 

"You're so fucking beautiful." He says between kisses. "I'm never letting you go, baby... I can't wait to marry you." 

His words make her blush so hard, as well as make her more wet with every second he kissed her. He nibbles at the sensitive area around her inner thighs, leaving hickeys everywhere, but nowhere where anyone can see them considering she's getting married for the whole kingdom to see in a few days. He wastes no time in shoving his middle and index and inside her, moaning himself at how unbelievably wet she was. 

"Ohhh, fuck...." She whispers between moans. "Levi... ahhhh.."

He pumps his finger into her faster before moving his lips down to kiss her clit softly, teasing her a bit. His finger curled inside her, hitting that spot inside her that he knew would drive her mad. He takes his finger out of her, which made her groan in annoyance as she wanted him to keep doing it. Instead, he moves both of his hands to her cunt, spreading her pussy lips with his thumbs to give him better access to her clit. He moved in and flicked her clit with his tongue over and over, knowing exactly where to kiss and suck to make her squirm. She screams out, feeling her orgasm reaching quickly but not wanting it to end on how good her  Levi was making her feel. 

"Levi.. ah! I'm..." She moaned out. Her moans and pleas only make him go faster, sucking on her clit by licking and tasting her sweetness. It doesn't take long for her to start cumming on his face, squirming as he continued, keeping her legs open with his strength as he overstimulated her sensitive clit. 

"Thats my good girl." He smiles as he continues to kiss her down there. "That's it... You're so good. Fuck."

He was so hungry for her, and he wasn't even close to being done with her tonight.

"Oh my god... Levi." She says, pulling at his hair some more while he leaves kisses around her thighs and admiring her pretty, wet pussy, which was all his, forever. 

He moves back up to her, interlocking one of his hands with hers as he gave her what she felt like endless kisses all over her body.

"You ready for me?" He asks, taking off his pants, positioning his hard cock at her entrance, waiting for her consent. 

"Yes." She responds, clearly out of breath at the continuing pleasure he just gave her. "Fuck me, Levi. Please. I want you."

He smiles at her, a smile she hasn't seen on him before. A smile of love, of desire, of care. So genuine. He kisses her again before easing himself inside of her slowly. 

Please, Levi. Please. Don't shut me out anymore.

Three days later. The day Asuna had been nervous for had finally arrived. Today, she would officially become Levi's wife, and be crowned the Queen of the Walls. Her stomach couldn't stop fluttering in nervousness, she doesn't think she has ever been so scared in her life, for anything. Since her and Levi had that talk a few nights before, he has been nothing but sweet and caring for her. She feels like they have been growing closer, and she finally felt safe and relaxed with him by her side every night. That didn't mean things were perfect though. Levi would still leave every morning and be gone most of the day, coming back at night to comfort her. She would have to reach out herself to ask him about things he had been doing that day, which he would tell her though with very little specifics. It was a work in progress, a work in progress that was going to be harder than she thought. 

Dana and the other hand maidens wake Asuna up before the sun had come out. It had to be at least 4 or 5 am, the nerves that she felt that entire night had caused her to only get a mere 2 hours of sleep, maybe less. Levi was already gone, preparing for the wedding on his own terms, so to speak. Asuna showered, with more maids around her that she had wanted, invading her personal space, though at the same time, she had no idea what she was doing. Casually ready to be the bride to the King at a royal wedding with thousands of people seeing her is not something that she had ever done before, nor ever thought she would do. 

Luckily, Dana had brought her a cup of caffeinated tea to help her stay awake, which wouldn't matter as her nerves would be keeping her awake all day. She drank it as the hand maidens brought in her elegant wedding dress. It looked like no other dress she had seen before. It was made of silk, shining in the light. The dress had clearly been worked on for weeks, it was so flowery, with sleeves that hung on her shoulders and made her waist feel snug and tight. It was luxurious. The only thing she didn't like about it was that it took almost an hour for her hand maids to put it on her because of how complex the dress was. 

Dana had done her hair up so nicely that let half of her hair flow free, her gorgeous curls running down her shoulders as the other half was up in a beautiful braided updo. Lastly, they had put a small veil on top of her head that was surprisingly comfortable. Before long, she was all set, ready to set food outside the castle to get married to Levi once and for all. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes and trying to gather herself and her thoughts all at once, she hoped she didn't pass out from all of the nervousness that lingered inside her mind. 

Dana walks up to her, Asuna being taller than her now because of her elegant white heels. She smiles, complimenting how beautiful her Queen looked and how lucky she was to be the personal hand maiden to such a sweet, gorgeous young woman. Taking her hand in hers, she smiles at her in hopes that it will calm her nerves a bit.

"Are you ready, my Queen?" Dana asks, squeezing her hand tighter. The reassurance that Dana gave her made her more confident for the day. More confident that her marriage will get easier. More confident that Levi can be the husband she wants him to be. 

"Yeah," She smiles back at her, preparing to leave for the biggest day of her life. Dana's question also reminded her of the other night when Levi asked if she was ready for him. Though that question was under a different situation, she remembered it and thought of it in a different perspective other than just that lovely moment. She laughed to herself, believing she was over thinking it but who cared? She knew what she felt, and she was going to face it. 

"I'm ready." 

[AN: HELP!!! :0  I was going to make this chapter longer than it was because I wanted to include the wedding preparations as well as the coronation all in one chapter but when I finished this I thought this ending was a good stopping point.  Next chapter, yes. Stay tuned. This part of the story is a hard one to write because it's so specific in my head. Plsss dm or ask me with suggestions, I would love the feedback :) Wattpad is @ katstack if you are interested in reading it there! ]

Asuna moaned loudly as Levi was thrusting himself into her, for the second time that morning. He held her wrists above her head as he continued to kiss her all over as she whined. He couldn't get enough of her, every time he sees her he just needed to have her, to touch her, to feel himself inside of her, he felt that he could cum right then and there from just looking at her. He didn't understand why he felt this way towards her, he barely knew her, and didn't even make an effort to try to get to know her as a person, as his soon-to-be wife. Though still, he felt this heart wrenching passion and possessiveness towards her. The thought made him frustrated deep inside, he had never felt this way before his entire life, he didn't think he had it in him to feel something towards someone. Was it love? Levi wasn't sure. 

Before long, he spills his seed inside of her again. He has been doing that every time they had sex at this point, which made her groan and orgasm against her will, even though she slightly enjoyed it. After he finished, he kissed her forehead before getting off of her, she looked into his eyes as he does the same. Though after a few seconds, he walks towards the shower, not saying a word to her. She sighs as she begins to clean herself up, wiping what felt like endless cum leaking out of her. 

Dana should have been here already to help her dress into the gowns that she was expected to wear, she had no idea how to put those complicated dresses on herself. Dana probably wasn't there yet because Levi was still in there as well. She also remembered that her wedding and coronation was 3 days away. The thought made her want to throw up in nervousness. It has been barely a week since she left home and arrived here, it seems like Levi was just eager to make the pretty girl his wife and be done with it. 

About 10 minutes later, he walks out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist, brushing his hair and getting dressed into his casual blazer and expensive shirt. She looks at him, still naked and laying down on the bed, looking quite sad and unsure about what her purpose is here other than just being his entertainment when he feels like it. 

"You okay?" He asks as he ties up his white ascot that usually hung around his chest, getting ready to leave her again once more. 

It takes her a few seconds to say anything. He looked down and covered herself with the bedsheets, not feeling embarrassed anymore but she wanted him to know that she was clearly conflicted and upset. 

"I'm... frustrated." She answers. 

Before he can respond back, they both hear a soft knock at their bedroom door. He hears Dana's soft voice calling out for Asuna, asking to come in to get her dressed and ready for the day.

"Come back later!" Levi yells from the other side of the door with frustration. He wasn't done talking with his fiancee yet, how dare someone interrupt him? 

They both hear Dana let out her apologies before walking away, standing idly waiting for the right time to just simply do her job.

"You know... You don't need to yell at her like that." Asuna says, still on the bed, glaring at Levi. 

He sighs and glares back, but not in a hostile way, more of a disappointed and sad way that she was looking at him like that. Secretly, he wished she would look at him with that gorgeous smile she has, but he's not making a very good effort of that happening at this point. 

"I need to go." He says, slightly brushing off her confrontation at him yelling at Dana. "I have a lot of work to do before the wedding." 

She glares at him some more before rolling her eyes. She thinks to herself. Work, huh? I still don't have the courage to ask him about the threats yet... I really want to know, but I'm afraid he is just going to ignore me or yell at me. I guess there are a lot of things he needs to do before the wedding anyway. Gosh. I'm fucking nervous. 

He walks to her as she is still lying on the bed, naked and vulnerable. Looking at her for a few seconds with that iconic stoic glare he always has, he leans in for a quick kiss. She kisses back, but still looks back at him with disgust. 

Gosh, when are you going to open up to me? They both secretly thought to themselves in their own way of thinking about it. 

He leaves the room as she sighs. Dana walks in a few moments later looking very tensed up and scared. She bows to Asuna while she was still on the bed naked, covering herself with the sheets. Dana was used to it at this point. The past week she has walked into the room to help Asuna get ready, and she is greeted with the same picture every time. Asuna in her bed covering herself, still naked and frustrated. Dana wishes to open up to her more, as Asuna is feeling all sorts of conflicting emotions these days. 

"It's okay, Your Grace." Her sweet hand maiden breaks the silence. "Do you want to get up?"

"Yeah." Asuna answers immediately as she gets up, ready for Dana to help dress her. "I'm fine."

Dana wanted to ask what's wrong, but deep down she already knew. She wishes she could do more to help, but right now all she could really do was be there for her in the way she was supposed to. Right now, she can only help her by getting her ready for the day. Asuna excuses herself to go and wash up first before getting changed, she was a mess, after all.

Levi was fucking her every single night, and almost every morning, she barely got enough sleep, or a good nights rest since she's been here, at least. She wasn't going to say that she didn't enjoy it, though. 

As Dana and two other hand maidens helped her get into her pretty silk, rose colored dress, she looked down at the ground. Suddenly feeling dizzy and fatigued, she loses her balance and almost falls over. Luckily, Dana and another hand maiden had kept her from falling down. Asuna gains control of herself again after a few seconds, not quite understanding what that was. 

"Your Grace!" One of the handmaidens say as she was helping her up. "Are you okay?! Do you need to see the doctor?!" 

"No," Asuna answers immediately. "I'm okay. I think I am just stressed..." 

She was sick of it. It has only barely been a week and she was tired of Levi's attitude, how he was treating her, she had enough respect for herself to know that she deserved better. Sooner or later, she was going to get the strength to confront him and talk to him about what she is feeling. It's only fair, right? She was going to be his wife in a matter of days, if this was how it was going to be, then she was going to have to fight back. 

Dana had asked her if she was excited for her wedding and her coronation, in which she was going to be crowned Queen of the Walls. She sighed and nodded, she wasn't trying to be dismissive or shy, she was honestly just not sure what to think about all of it. Mainly, she was more upset at the fact that Levi only decided to take her hand in marriage because he wanted to get back at her dad, Dan Reiss. For all of the conflict that this man has caused Levi and his kingdom, it made perfect sense that he would choose to get back at him by stealing his daughter away from him. 

Asuna's life was going to change forever, everything she ever knew was thrown out the window. She felt unloved, unwanted for what she truly wished to offer to Levi. She will never have another opportunity to love who she chooses to love or do what she truly wants to do with her life. At this moment in time, she only felt like she was just there for Levi's duty, and entertainment when he wanted her. Luckily, he was faithful to her though, he wasn't going to bed or lay with anyone else as long as Asuna was alive. 

The stress and all the unknowns to her was eating her alive. There were more recurring moments when Dana was helping dress her, but Asuna could do nothing but think of her situation and the fate she was put in. Almost falling over again, as Dana had to grab her and eagerly ask if she needed to see the castle's primary doctor, but she refused, saying she was fine. It was just stress, right? 

Her outfit for the day was all set. She looked beautiful as always. Dana had to formally excuse herself due to other business regarding the wedding needed to be done. Asuna nodded as usual and sat down to eat her breakfast. She wanted to help more, she felt like such a nuisance sitting there doing nothing as everyone around her worked on her and Levi's upcoming wedding, as well as her coronation. She secretly hated the fact everyone else was doing these things for her, she just needed to find the strength to do something about it. 

She was getting some sort of freedom as the days go by, but still no insight on the so called threats that kept coming up in the back of her head, the tension around the castle still lingering. She needed to do a lot of things, but one thing she needed to focus on first, was talking to Levi. She needed to get a word out of him and speak to him about these damn threats that nobody was telling her about. She had decided right then and there, she was going to investigate. 

The past 2 days, the bedroom door that was locked, trapping her inside, was no longer locked. Asuna wasn't sure if that was done on purpose or if the guards, or Levi, just simply forgot to lock it, which was unlikely. It was possible that Levi found out of Asuna's frustration towards her being locked in the bedroom. Maybe, just maybe, he was doing this to make her feel happier. 

Within those two days, she had visited the castle's library, as well as the gorgeous rose gardens that were blossoming around the castle barriers. Despite guards keeping an eye on her when she roamed the castle on her own, nobody really questioned when she soon decided to make her way up to Levi's office. Though guarded by military police guards and Dana keeping her company often, she remembered that she was going to be the Queen, supposedly having the same amount of rights as the king, so to speak. She had finally decided she was going to figure it out herself, nobody can stop her, right?  I'm going to be his wife... She thought. I'm sure I should be able to go and speak to my fiancee when I wish. 

She made her way up to his office, which was on one of the higher floors of the castle. She had kindly asked the guards watching over her to take a step back, and that if anything were to happen, they wouldn't be too far away, finally alone and unguarded. The walk up was making her winded recently, it was a shit ton of stairs, but this was important. Despite her fearless act of walking to his office to talk to him, deep down she was quite intimidated. She walked towards the room where she knew to be the office, with large doors. Before she made it to the door, she could hear Levi yelling and arguing with someone from inside, she stopped in her tracks, considering that maybe it wasn't the best idea to listen in. 

Though she does realize that her curiosity was at its limit, she takes a deep breath and heads towards the door. There wasn't any guards posted in front, so she took the opportunity to listen in on what was being discussed rather than knock first. She quietly put her ear to the door, listening into what was going on and praying she could figure out something, a clue, even. 

"I don't need you or anyone else's permission on who I decide to marry..." She hears Levi's voice from within the office. "The deed is done, I am not going to change my mind!"

"We understand that, Your Grace." An unfamiliar voice answered him. "Though you do need to understand, with Lady Asuna not having any royal blood whatsoever, there have been some disapproving statements, from not just the commanders of the royal guard, but the common people, too." 

Asuna's eyes widen. Is that what all the threats are about? Levi marrying a common girl rather than someone of royal blood? This doesn't make any sense. 

"She is the eldest daughter of Dan Reiss," Levi responds. "Royal blood or not, she is still from a noble family." 

The men he was talking to couldn't argue with that, they were just hoping he would have ended up marrying someone with a more elite birth right, someone that understands the idea of a royal lifestyle, not some naive girl who grew up on a farm estate.

"Either way, we are worried for your Queen's safety, Your Grace." The voice says again. "Though the anonymous threat we received shouldn't be something that should be of any worry, for now." 

"I still want her guarded and protected." Levi answers. "Any threat that relates to her kidnapping or assassination should definitely be of any concern. Just because you lazy geezers aren't worried about it, doesn't mean anyone else is." 

Levi pauses before finishing his statement. "Though, I don't want to tell her that."

Asuna gasps quietly. What did he just say? She tries not to make too much noise so that anyone inside Levi's office could hear her. 

Kidnapping? Assassination? Those were the threats in question?  By who? Who would want to hurt me? Those people said it themselves, I am a nobody. Just someone who Levi decided to marry out of a whim?! She suddenly wished that she had just stayed curious. Her heart was beating  faster than when Levi first propositioned that he wished to marry her. She didn't understand any of it at all, she was barely here a week, and not even within a day there were threats being made? Perhaps the news of Levi's new bride came around the kingdom faster than she thought. 

Despite her fear that she felt in her heart, and all the fact that still remained unknown to her, she still felt something else. She felt anger. She was angry at Levi for keeping something like that from her. A threat to her life should be something that she should be aware of before anyone else. Instead, he kept it from her, and most likely forced everyone else to keep it from her as well. Does everyone know about this?! Am I the only one who is ignorant about all of it? This was the last straw, she decided it was time to knock on the damn door and speak with her fiancee. 

"Marlo, do we have any idea on who might be behind these threats, yet?" Levi asks again. 

"Not yet, Your Grace." The man called 'Marlo' spoke up. "We are doing everything we can to figure it out, but until we do, the castle will be on high alert." 

A few seconds pass by before Levi speaks up again. "Leave me." He says in a harsh tone. Asuna quickly gathers herself outside the door and waits for the man to walk out so she could step in. 

The door opens for Marlo by two guards that were also in the room with him. Asuna takes a few steps back as Marlo sees her standing there in front of him. His eyes widen as he immediately bows to her. 

"Your Grace!" He says loud and nervously. She quickly prompts him to rise, stating silently that that kind of curtsy wasn't necessary. She sees Levi in the middle of the room behind his large desk, Marlo's curtsy grabs his attention as he turns around to see none other than his fiancee standing right there, glaring at him. 

As Marlo leaves, Asuna walks in slowly, as the guards holding the door open bow to her as she walked in. Closing the door behind her, she walks in slowly without saying anything, just giving that glare that Levi hated seeing on her pretty face. 

"What are you doing here?" Levi asked her. "I didn't give you permission to come in."

"Since when do I need your permission?" She states back, causing the guards by the door to gasp quietly at her defiance. "I thought I was going to be your wife, not your servant?"

Levi doesn't say anything as he takes a deep breath, visibly annoyed. He walks towards her, standing in front of her by a few feet until demandingly telling the two guards to wait outside. 

Asuna doesn't budge, she doesn't turn around or look at her surroundings at the room she's never been in before. She doesn't take her eyes off him, he sees how cold and angry she looks at him. She should have seen his office by now, and that, she also blames Levi for too.

As the guards leave and close the door, there was a few seconds of silence of Levi and Asuna looking at each other. Though Levi was annoyed at her and conflicted on what to say, he still couldn't hide the look on his face on how fascinated he was towards her bravery and beauty.  

"What do you need?" He breaks the silence, attempting to walk closer to her, but she backs up more, not wanting him touching her right now. 

"Why didn't you tell me?" Asuna asks, with an aggravated tone. 

"Tell you what?"

"The threats, God damn it!!!" She yells. "The so called kidnapping threats?! I also heard the word 'assassination'?!" 

"How much of that did you hear?" He asks calmly. He was obviously not angry at the fact that she overheard his conversation with Marlo, more that she arrives at his office without him knowing. 

"Enough." She responds, more tensed up than usual. "What else are you keeping from me?"

"The threats in question are being investigated thourougly." He says with a calm tone again. "It is not something you should worry about-"

"Not something to worry about?!" She interrupts him. "I'm sick of this, Levi." 

"What do you mean?" He asks with curiosity. "Sick of what?"

"You." She pauses, before continuing after a few seconds, taking a deep breath.

"I'm sick of you keeping me in the dark. I'm sick of you fucking me without barely saying anything. I'm sick of feeling like just a toy to you when you're bored. Is that all I will ever be to you!? I'm sick of acting like just a stupid figurehead that is only known as King Levi's little play thing! We aren't even married yet and I am tired! I've been feeling nothing but frustration ever since I came here! I want it to end! And most of all, I'm sick of having the feeling that I still barely know you! And that it will always be like this!" 

He doesn't say anything, he just listens, not wanting to argue or interrupt her. This is probably the very first time a girl ever talked to him this way. Of course, Erwin or Hange would have it out with him and argue often, but when it came to his fiancee, he was speechless. 

"Why?! Why don't you want to know me...? Why can't you just talk to me?!" She is close to tears at this point. Looking down trying not to let it all out. 

"I am trying to protect you." He finally speaks up after a few seconds. He attempts to get closer to her again, she continues to look down, not looking at him. 

"Protect me?" She chuckles sarcastically. "How exactly are you doing that? By keeping secrets from me? Don't I have a right to know what is going on?"

Levi sighs. The anger and short fuse that he usually had on others normally, he didn't have with her. 

"I can tell you have been unsure about all of this. Unsure about me. I didn't want to cause any more stress to you than I already am." 

She wanted to cry, but instead she just sniffles. He wasn't wrong, but she just wished she could get rid of this feeling that he truly doesn't really care about her, about getting to know her, as his wife, as his Queen. 

"But why...Why can't you... just talk to me?" She says in a more soft voice. "I don't want to have secrets kept from me." 

He is standing right in front of her at this point, he lightly puts his hands on her shoulders, caressing them, before letting go and rubbing the undercut of his hair. Though he wished to protect her, he understood where she was coming from. He barely spoke to her, avoided her most of the time, except for when he was feeling physical and fucked her without any clear motive. Levi didn't understand at all this feeling he had, he barely knew the girl. He's felt this fire in his heart ever since he laid eyes on her. He wished he could explain it, but this sort of feeling and emotion was brand new to him. 

"I'm not sure..." He responds, pausing. "I'm not sure how to talk to you."

She looks up with him, her eyes tearing up as she eyes him with confusion. 

"Why?"

"I feel this... fire in my heart... towards you..." He says between pauses. "These emotions I feel.. I just... I don't know how to react to them." 

"That doesn't make any sense, Levi." She argues. "You barely know me." 

"I'm afraid to."

Did he just say that? Did the King Levi Ackerman just say he was 'afraid'? Since when did this man ever fear anything?

"Again, why?" She moves closer to him.

"I don't know." 

She sighs, backing up a bit with shattered his heart a little. She kept wanting to ask 'why?' but she knew that probably wouldn't get her anywhere. This man was hard to read. When he says 'fire in his heart,' what the hell does that mean? Is it anger? Annoyance? Lust? ...Love?

"I remember the day I met you, when you came to my dad's estate." She speaks up again. "You told me a lot of things, but one thing I remember you saying as I was packing my things to leave my home was 'I won't ignore you.' I keep hearing it in the back of my head since that first night. I'm starting to understand what a great lie that was."

With that, she backs up again and turns around. Opening the door as the guards waiting outside bowed to her as she left the room, disappearing from his sight. 

He wanted to follow her, he wanted to chase after her and just kiss and hold her, but he couldn't. He didn't know how to give someone that kind of affection. His entire life, Levi Ackerman only ever had a relationship in a physical and lustful manner. He never actually thought that he was capable of having a relationship that involved love and care for one another. He was absolutely hesitant on how to approach it, on how to tell her what he really feels. He knew that he was going to have to get married eventually. All the girls he had met in the past that were candidates for being his wife, they never seemed to truly care about him as a person. He could see right through all of them as they just mainly wanted the title as Queen and nothing more. He wasn't expecting Asuna to not feel any different, but she did, and it drove him mad. 

Levi did want to get to know her. He did want to have a relationship with her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and tell her everything. Explain to her that he was excited to marry such an amazing girl, to know how honored he was to have found such a graceful woman to be his Queen. The problem was, he didn't know how to properly let her know that. He sat back down in his chair, the guards posted outside still there. He suddenly banged on his desk, frustrated. He couldn't even focus on all the work that needed to be done in terms of the Scout Regiment and his upcoming wedding. 

After hours of sitting there, drinking his signature black tea and contemplating everything about himself, he decided. He was going to attempt to fix this.

Asuna made it back to her shared bedroom with Levi right after her feud with him. The guards bowing and closing the door behind her. Finally alone, she broke down in tears. Wishing she would have said more, but she wanted him to know how angry and frustrated she truly was at this whole situation. She just hoped that she didn't give him the wrong impression that she doesn't want anything to do with him or something. They were getting married in 3 days for God's sake, she needed to figure this out now, but perhaps confronting him was the wrong way to do it, or was it? She wasn't sure. She had so much other things to worry about, like practicing for her coronation and the amount of people around the kingdom that will soon come to see her.

She couldn't think straight at all. All of these thoughts that kept invading inside her head was nauseating. She had never felt so stressed and unsure ever in her life. The dizziness that she was feeling lately came back again, she almost fell to the floor, putting her hands on her face as she tried to blink the dizziness away. She opened the balcony and sat down on one of the chairs, feeling the breeze hit her face and the wind blow through her soft hair. As she stared out into the city surrounding this damn castle, she cried some more. 

Why am I feeling this way?

It took about 30 minutes for Levi to collect himself and run up to their room. He knew she had to be there, the guards told him that she made her way in that direction. He usually wouldn't show up to their bedroom until later in the night when she was already asleep, where he would wake her up with his own methods... But this time, he had other intensions, running towards their bedroom before the sun began to fall.

He was ready to talk. 

AN:

[omg.. the insight on the threats has finally been revealed :0 Wtf? Why does somebody want to kidnap us?! Sussy fr. At least she is finally starting to get somewhere with Levi, but damn it's hard as hell. Also why is she feeling so fatigued recently? 

This makes all the chapters on Tumblr now up to date. Yay! I will now post them on here once I publish them on Wattpad. Wedding chapter up next?? Maybe? AGH. Arigato! xoxox]

Own the place? Are you serious? I could barely manage my own place back at the estate.

"Now! Let's give you a brief tour of the ol' place and get ya settled." Hange then grabs his her hand from Levi's and leads her to the front. Levi not following behind them. Hange is probably a better person to guide her around the castle, he'll see her soon enough, anyway. 

Asuna turns around to see Levi speaking with Erwin. She hasn't even entered the castle yet and he is already setting her off to the side. Damn, this is going to be hard. 

Asuna and Hange both entered the castle with guards following behind them. Now that Asuna is going to be the future queen and Levi's wife, she is going to be guarded whether she likes it or not. 

The moment she walked in she was in shock, it was way more beautiful than it was on the outside. With pink and red carpeted floors and beautiful white walls that were designed professionally. This looked like it was one of the many entrances in the castle, and not the main one. She was intimidated to see the rest. Asuna did not let go of Hange's hand, for the past several hours that she was able to talk and get to know what kind of person Hange was, she could tell she was a trusting, sweet, person who she can stand beside when she gets scared. 

"Now, where you like to start?" Hange smiles at Asuna. Letting go of her hand and holding hers out in excitement. "We can start with the main throne room! We could see the mess hall where most of us eat, or the kitchens! I'd love to introduce you to my squad! You'd love Nifa, don't tell anyone but she's my favorite!" Hange rambled on and on, Asuna wondered why she was so excited for her to arrive, they barely know each other, after all. 

"Or we can check out the Scout Regiment offices! They are so beautiful and spacey! Or we can-"

"Hange, you are so sweet." Asuna interrupts. "I would love to see everything, but right now I think I just want to settle in and get some rest." 

From the past experience of the carriage ride with Hange talking her ear off and giving out countless amount of information that she probably won't remember the next day, she knew that she should probably stop her now before she goes overboard again. 

"Oh yes! Of course! Apologies, my Lady." Hange puts her hand over her head realizing that she may be too much for this scared right at the moment. "I tend to be a bit overwhelming sometimes without meaning to!" That's an understatement. 

"Here, let's get to your room! It is on one of the highest floors in the castle, also one of the biggest rooms. To be fair, I'm quite jealous!"

"Oh, is it my own room?" Asuna replies with denial.  

"Oh gosh no!" Hange laughs. "It's Levi's room, you're going to be his wife! His Queen! It sort of defeats the purpose if you both don't stay in the same room!"

Gosh that was a stupid question. I should have known. My bedroom is going to be the same as Levi's, duh. What is wrong with me? 

"Right..." she responds, forcing out a small chuckle. 

With that, Hange leads her to up to her new room, it felt like forever to get up there. Countless amount of stairs that left her tired by the time they made it to the floor. They finally got up there and introduced to her room. 

It had two doors instead of one, when they walked in she was actually quite surprised and excited to see her room. There was a large king sized bed that was perfectly made, a large bookshelf to the right that had countless amount of books that can help her pass the time. She could immediately tell which side was Levi's, his shirts and uniforms were hung up against one of the closets, ironed and cleaned. To her left was the large bathroom with a built in shower and bathtub, with fruit scented soaps and shampoos, must be Levi's doing. In the corner of the room there was a small table where he most likely had his morning tea and worked in peace without interruption. One thing that captivated her was the large balcony to the left, next to an empty closet behind her suitcase that seemed to have already been delivered to her room. Damn, that was fast. 

"This is beautiful," Asuna says. Walking towards the balcony and opening the tainted glass door, walking out to see that it was larger than she expected. There were even porch chairs out there. She looks out to see the enormous town that stood below her, lighted up in different places with torches and with the moonlight acting as a spotlight. It was huge, and this was only one of many of the large towns that were within the walls, she couldn't imagine how big life within the walls actually was. How the hell am I going to be the Queen of all this?  She thought. 

"I knew you'd like it." Hange smiles. "Is there anything else I can do for you? You must be so eager to get settled." 

"No, thanks.. It's just... it's overwhelming." Asuna replies. "I just... have no idea how the hell I ended up here in a matter of just one day." she laughs. 

"Ha! That's what Erwin and I thought!" Hange states.

"Erwin?"

"The tall blonde man with the bushy eyebrows that came with Levi and us when we met you! He's the commander of the Scouts, I am basically his unofficial second in command. You can come to him with anything also, he may be tall and intimidating, but inside he's a sweet guy who just wishes the best for you!" she finishes.

Asuna nods and thanks Hange. She doesn't know what she would do without all of her help. Probably shaking in a corner terrified to even move. And with Levi no where to be found since they arrived, it really seems like she could use a good friend like Hange right now. 

"I'll leave you to it, then. Perhaps sometime tomorrow, I can finally give you that tour of the castle like I promised!" Hange bows to Asuna, as she nods and thanks her once again. She was more than grateful at the help and support that Hange has given her, but right now, she just wants to settle in and get some sleep. Hange steps out and closes the door behind her and hears her walk off, but after a few seconds, she hears the doors lock which alarmed her greatly. 

Curious, she walks towards the door and attempted to open them to try and make sure that her ears didn't lie to her, but she didn't, she was locked in. Backing up in shock, she tries to calm herself and just try to relax as much as she could, though it was very difficult to do so. 

She felt disgusting, she desperately needed to bathe and get out of her dress that she has been wearing all day. She wanted nothing more but to put on a soft nightgown and get freshened up. She opens up the large closet drawers which she assumed was her new wardrobe because of her suitcase standing right in front of it, but found nothing. There was no clothes in there at all, completely empty. Sighing in defeat, thinking how this day could not get any more unfortunate, she just chooses to shower instead, at least there was fresh towels and soap that she was able to use. 

The shower felt so good, the warm water was almost endless, something she wasn't used to at all. She may have grown up in a decent middle class home, but the water was scarce and not usually this nice. It felt so nice to finally freshen up, as she got out of the shower she was reminded that she doesn't have any other clothes to wear at the moment. So she had no choice but to put on one of the dresses she had packed in the suitcase. I knew these would come in handy. 

Brushing her hair out, brushing her teeth, and getting into a new dress. She looked at the bed and groaned on how excited she was to get some sleep. She laid down for a little while but simply could not get herself to fall asleep. It must have been the nerves, normally when she was this tired she could fall asleep almost immediately. 

Defeated, realizing that she probably wasn't going to get any sleep anytime soon, she looked at the time on the clock on the nightstand on Levi's side, it was almost 3am. Jeez, have I ever been up at this hour before? 

She soon realizes that she literally has a balcony with an undeniably beautiful view now. She goes out there and collects her thoughts. She didn't think she would ever get used to this new reality, still no sign of her future husband, she stands alone out there. The breeze felt so nice, the soft Autumn air calmed her down a bit. She thought of what her dad is doing right now, what Harrison was doing. Probably passed out drunk and asleep. She missed them already, she wondered if Levi would invite them to the wedding. When was that going to take place, anyway?

It didn't seem like she was out there for that long when she heard the door unlock. Turning around immediately, the door opens to see the only person she expected to see, and it was him.

"Levi..." 

[Originally this chapter as well as the next chapter was going to be one ;-; but I decided last minute to change it into two parts because it was going to be too long. Please get ready for the next chapter, its gonna be a real one...

One more thing? Ya'll want more?! Tell me! My dms are open! Thanks :)]

"Why are you still here?" he says, to blonde haired girl who he doesn't remember the name of.

"Sorry... I was just leaving" she responds.

"I thought I told you to leave right afterwards-"

"Sorry, your Grace, I just thought-"

"Thought what?" he snaps, with a more passive tone than usual. 

The girl looked at him with fear, as he stared her down and gets up to put his clothes back on and get in the shower. She doesn't say thing, too petrified to answer. She knew it didn't mean anything, she knew that the King didn't give less of a rat's ass about what she felt. He didn't even look at her as he got dressed. She attempted not to cry as she got up, put on her handmaiden dress and walked out, without a single glance from the man who was just inside her the night before.

Levi took his daily morning shower and got dressed into his fancy clothes, ready to put on a show to those he couldn't give less of a shit about. 

"Morning, your Grace!" says the Military Police guards who watch his bedroom door every night.

He doesn't respond. He walks by with his casual stoic expression that engrains everyone's mind every once in a while.

As he walks by people to get toward his office, he sees all of them looking and bowing to him as if he was some sort of God. He wasn't a God, he was just a man. A man who somehow managed to become the King of the life as we know it. As if everyone knows, this is the only life in existence, nobody around him knew if there was life beyond the walls or if this was it. If they were stuck in a nightmare that was impossible to escape. 

Levi always dressed professionally and casually, except for when he was in his Scout uniform, he was a clean and professional person anyway. Nobody would ever see him look his worst, nobody would ever see him cry or look like he's been defeated, he refused.

As he walked to his office for his meeting with Commander Nile Dok of the Military Police and Commander Keith Sadis of the Scout Regiment, he runs into one of his closest colleagues, Section Commander Hange Zoe. 

"Leviiiiiii!!!" Hange says with passion. She didn't bother to call him 'your Grace' or 'my King' because it didn't matter to her. Whatever she says to him, he wouldn't punish her anyway. 

"Huh?" he says without looking at her. "I got somewhere to be."

"With Nile, right?" she responds. He actually looks at her with confusion. Hange shouldn't know about his meetings with commandments she has nothing to do with. 

"Yeah, about that," she continues. "It's about Dan Reiss."

The thought of that name made him fuel with rage, but he hides his anger deep inside him. Everyone he is surrounded with knows that he can visibly get angry, almost furious like he is about to murder everyone around him, but he stays calm this time. 

"What happened now?" Levi questions with a sigh. 

He knows all too well the name of Dan Reiss. A nobleman who is particularly rich within the walls. He has two other brothers as he knows, but never met them at all. Dan Reiss was the only Reiss who actually had a relationship with King Levi. They didn't make much of a friendship, but they had a particular type of business relationship after all. Reiss' money was scarce for a long time, and with his power hungriness, it became almost nonexistent. 

Dan Reiss is an alcoholic, and gambler. He spends most of his days drinking or playing poker at the local village next to his estate, without a care of the world towards his caretakers of his land or even his only daughter. He believed that his money and status would save him from anything. Though, when it came to his relationship with the King, he didn't have much luck anymore. 

"So, yeah" Hange laughs. "He's absolutely bankrupt! All the money he owed you is gone, I think?"

He looked at her with furious rage. Why did this man get to him so much? He was a nobody. Levi had all the money in the world yet this man continues to aggravate him to his limit. Maybe it was the reason that Dan Reiss had claimed numerous times that he would pay him back, and that he would help the kingdom with the constant famine and poverty that lies within it. Not to mention the orphans that continued to roam the street unwanted, the thought of all those kids out there with no family makes his blood boil. There was plenty of men and women who owed him money, but he didn't give them a second glance. For Levi, his anger was all put towards Dan Reiss. He kept betraying Levi at every turn, and Dan was going to pay for it. 

Levi gathered up all of his closest comrades and guards to his office. He didn't care about what he had to do that day with other political business that he secretly couldn't care less about. He was ready to storm Reiss' front door and make him pay for what he owes. 

Erwin Smith, commander of the scout regiment. Hange Zoe, section commander of the scout regiment. Hange's assistant, Moblit Berner. Nile Dok, commander of the Military Police, and all of his closest guards had agreed to accompany Levi on his trip to Dan Reiss' estate. 

Dan's estate was within a safe haven village of wall Rose, it took about half a day to ride there on a horse. Levi still didn't understand why he chose to pursue this man. It wasn't much for him anyway, Levi was rich, the most powerful man in existence for all that everyone around him knew. He didn't need to pursue anybody, maybe it was fate, because it led him to something he never thought he would ever be led to. 

It took longer than expected to arrive at Dan's estate. Levi with his many guards and colleagues arrived on the land of Dan Reiss's estate. With roughly 20 some men surrounding the estate, with Levi and Erwin at the front. Levi's eyes looked more upsetting than usual, which makes Erwin look at him in curiosity. Even Erwin didn't understand what Levi's motive was. Perhaps Levi was done with people taking advantage of him.

He stops at the front of the estate. Putting his hand up to let his men know to halt. He looks up at the estate to see the man himself looking at all of the royal men at his doorstep. Surprised, and drunk, Dan Reiss gets up from his seat on the porch deck of his estate, absolutely shocked to see the King himself with his men glaring at him on his property. 

He walks towards the men, stumbling and not being able to see clearly. He stands there without saying anything.

"Lord Reiss!" Erwin Smith says loud enough for everyone on the land to hear. "May we have a moment?"

Levi says nothing, he just stares the poor man down with his familiar stoic glare. Dan is terrified, though can sense why Levi and his men are here at his doorstep. 

"Your Grace!" Dan says with excitement. "Wasn't expecting ya!" 

Levi stops his silence. "Reiss, you and I both know that this isn't a friendly visit. Why do you continue to defy me?" 

Dan is absolutely terrified at this point. He knows why Levi is here. His gambling addiction has finally gotten the best of him. He used all the money he meant to sent to the King to use for himself. He doesn't even try anymore, he knows that him and his power are now gone. He expects execution. He expects a brutal beating from Levi until his brains are on the ground. He drops his glass of whiskey that he poured 5 minutes before they arrived. He gave up.

"I know why you're here, King Levi" Dan says quietly. 

"Do you now?" Levi says. Erwin and his men look at Levi and expect the worst. Levi walks toward Dan while he sits there defeated. Dan is ready for Levi's wrath, he doesn't expect any less of him.

"You owe me a debt." Levi continues. He pulls out his knife from the sheath stationed on his right hip, damn, it was sharp. 

That is when a girl he had never seen before walks out of the large house, with a basket of fruit to harvest. She looks at Levi and all of his men with confusion, wondering why the hell they are at her doorstep confronting her father. She continues to look at these men, and looks at her father as if she's asking a question without words, but looks right back at the King.

Levi's eyes widen. He did not expect to see a young girl during all of this confrontation that was about to be violent. She is wearing a casual dress, a pink and white layered outfit that seems to be soft silk fabric. It looks like something that would be worn when doing yard work or handling cattle. He doesn't take her eyes off her as she looks with confusion at him and his men. She puts down the bucket and looks right back at her father.

"What the hell is this?" the girl says. 

"Go back inside, honey." Dan responds. 

The girl doesn't do what she's told, she continues to look back at all the men who look like they are from the royal side of town and glares at them. 

"I'm sorry?" Levi interrupts, "Who is this, Reiss?"

Dan Reiss hesitates to respond at first, but knows that he is screwed either way. "Your Grace, this is my daughter, Asuna. She manages most of the work around here."

Levi sits there listening to every word. His eyes do not leave the girl in question. She looks back at him, not with lust, but with disgust. He isn't used to a girl looking at him like that. He wasn't used to someone not looking at him with fear or desire. Most of all, he wasn't used to being fascinated by a girl he has never seen before. 

Few seconds after she walked out of the house, another young man comes from behind the estate with a rake and some yard supplies. He stops in shock and quickly runs up to Asuna and stands next to her in a protective stance. 

Asuna had emerald green eyes that glowed in the sunlight, her dirty blonde hair was put up in a side braid that went down past her shoulders. The bags under her eyes made it look like she didn't get much sleep. She must be working nonstop on the estate and the land that came with it. She must be too overworked while her alcoholic of a father sits back on his ass and drinks day and night. She was a short girl, Levi guessed that she was slightly shorter than him. 

Dan stops and turns to his daughter. "Honey, I really think you should go back inside," he continues. "This isn't something you want to see." 

"You got in more trouble, didn't you? What the fuck did you do?!" she shouts at him. "And who the hell is this?"

Levi is shocked at her boldness, her strength, he doesn't think anyone had disrespected or stood up to him like this before. 

"You better watch your mouth, girl!" Nile Dok shouts at the girl for her defiance. "You're talking to the ki-"

"Nile- stop" Levi cuts him off. "If the girl wants to act that way then let her, it won't do her much good anyway." He smirks at her. She immediately backs off and continues to glare at this so called King of the Walls. 

Asuna didn't need Nile to finish his sentence, him about to say that she was speaking to the King gave her the answer to her question already. She realizes her mistake and quickly backs off, refusing to give eye contact any longer to Levi or his men. Though the expression on her face showed that she was more angry than scared. She denies her father's wishes for her to go back in the house, she just steps back and stands next to the unknown boy who appeared shortly after her. 

"Your Grace," Dan speaks up. "If you're going to arrest me, chop off my head, torture me, because of my poor actions, please, just do it already." He pleads with an almost crying emotion to his voice. "Just don't hurt my daughter." 

Asuna looks at her dad with a silent plea, tears forming in her pretty green eyes. The unknown man who stood next to her put his arm around her as she attempted not to cry, she didn't want to look weak. She was taught by her father and others in her life to be strong. Despite her external strength, deep inside she doesn't know what to do at this point. If this raven haired man who stormed her property was the King, then there was nothing she could do to change her father's fate. Levi doesn't take his eyes off her, almost feeling sympathetic for her feelings. Is he really about to take this poor girl's father away from her? He didn't know why, but he was infatuated by her, the way she defied him and kept looking at him with a glare, he had to be honest, he was slightly attracted, most would say turned on. 

Levi contemplated quietly, looking back at Erwin with a look that Erwin was all too familiar with. Levi was asking him without words on what he should do, but this was on him. He needed to make a decision now. Was he about to kill Dan Reiss in front of his daughter? For the first time in a long time, he was unsure what to do. 

"Dad?" she cries. Dan turns to look at his only child and gives her a soft smile. "It's going to be okay honey," he replies. "Be good, okay?" 

And with that Dan walks down his porch stairs and towards Levi and his men, preparing for the worst and sighing in defeat. Asuna turns around, hugging the man who stood next to her as he held her, she didn't have any wish to see what is about to happen to her father. He was a good man, except very flawed. The fact he is the oldest of the Reiss sons who came from a noble family life with a good amount of money. He became careless towards his estate and grew socially distant from his daughter and workers as the years went by. He became a struggling alcoholic who owed debts to countless merchants and noblemen, and eventually, the King himself. 

"Wait." Levi suddenly speaks. Dan, Erwin, Hange and all of his guardsmen look at their King in confusion and shock. Dan stops in his tracks, Erwin and Levi both glare at each other as Levi smirks back, he knew Levi better than most, almost every time he could tell what he was about to say or what his next action would be, but this time, he hadn't the faintest clue. 

Asuna turns around, wiping the tears from her face as she looks at Levi patiently waiting on what he is going to say. He turns his back to Erwin, then to Dan, then lastly, to Asuna. 

"Asuna, right?" Levi asks with curiosity. She looks at her dad in confusion for a couple seconds, took a deep breath and responded.

"Yeah." she replies. Some of the guards gasp as her response, mainly on how she responded first of all. Almost everyone responded to Levi as 'Your Grace' or 'My King'. Most people would consider not saying that to him as an act of defiance, and deep down she knew that. But the disgust that she felt towards this man fueled her with every inch of her being. Knowing that he was about to take her father away from her, the only family she really had left as she knew it, she didn't care at this point, she just wanted him to say what he was going to say and get on with it. 

"Okay, Asuna. How old are you?" Levi questions. 

She was surprised at this random question, secretly trying to find the true motive on why he was asking how old she was. She holds her chin up high, without losing eye contact with him, and doesn't say anything. Though deep down, she was terrified. 

"She's nineteen, Your Grace." Dan answers for her. Making her cuss him out under her breath. 

Levi doesn't say anything, he just looks down at the ground and sighs. Everyone awaited for him to respond. Erwin, still looking at him, still doesn't have the fainted idea what is on his mind. He sat there for almost a minute and stayed lost in thought. He knows what he wants to do, and knowing that he is the King and can basically do whatever he wanted in the world, he was going to do it. Suddenly, Levi looks back up with ease and looks right back at the pretty girl, then right back at Dan Reiss. 

"Reiss, I never liked you." Levi begins. "I always hated how you continue to push my buttons despite knowing all too well what it would cost you. You want to know why I traveled all this way today? I was going to kill you. I was going to make you pay and finally rid myself and my kingdom of your impulsive habits. You continued to defy me and my people, maybe you just want to be punished. Not sure. But now I realize killing you may be too kind for you, and for that, I will pardon your crimes and debt that you owe me."

Dan's eyes widen with shock. Did the King really just pardon him for his crimes? After everything he did? What the hell is that supposed to mean? Everyone else looked with shock and confusion. Levi wasn't the type of man to forget those who have wronged him, nor was he the type to travel half a day for no cost whatsoever. Finally, he speaks up.

"I will pardon your crimes, and your debt, if you give me your daughter's hand in marriage."

And just like that, everything changed for Asuna Reiss. 

AN:

[3500 words :0, good lord I really went overboard haha. Thank you for reading, it means the world to me. Honestly I am really proud of myself for finally writing it down and showing it to everyone. &' yes, her name is Asuna. It has nothing to do with SAO or anything I have just always loved the name I think it is very beautiful and unique. Yes, she has dark blonde hair and green eyes. This is mainly meant to be a Levixreader story, so if her features don't match with yours then feel free to change them to your own! In fact, I encourage it. I just think it's easier if the girl has a name. Some may think that this story with Levi as a king may be kind of dumb, but I believe the story in my head is actually very sweet and touching, especially if you love Levi Ackerman as much as I do, not to mention this story very brutal but what's the fun if its not? I'll make sure to include trigger warnings when the story gets dark!
