Servant

Chapter 33

Eren P.O.V

This was probably going to be my favourite day this whole week.

My etiquette lessons were cancelled because of a certain event that was occurring, and I couldn't help the overwhelming glee that filled my chest.

Today.

Was the day.

I try out cakes for the wedding (Who isn't excited about cake?)I was practically bouncing on my toes in excitement as I got ready to head to the kitchens.

I smiled as the maid placed the crown on my head, and she nodded as she finished dressing me. "Beautiful as always my prince Eren." She said with a bow, and I flushed for a moment. "No need for such formalities! Please just call me Eren!" I exclaimed and she nodded. "Of course my prince." She said, and I sighed."You're never gonna stop are you?" She gave me a smile. "I'm afraid not my highness." I smiled at her and nodded."Alrighty then! Let's go!" I said as I stepped off the small platform I was always dressed on and away from the wall of mirrors before walking to the door.

I opened it and the two guards that were always stationed there bowed and walked beside me as we made our way to the kitchens. My smile never left my face when we walked down the halls, and I started daydreaming of all the different frostings and cake flavours I would get to try.

Red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon...

Before I knew it, we were at the doors of the kitchen. I thanked the guards as they opened the door for me, and I took in the sight of maids and chefs bustling through the kitchen creating meals and snacks for the wedding. I froze when all of them stopped what they were doing to look at me.

Then they all bowed, making me give them a sheepish smile. "Uh... hi?" I said, more as a question than a sentence."Good morning Prince Eren." They all said simultaneously, making me yelp. Then one stood up. Chef Thomas walked towards me and gave me a large, toothy grin. "Good morning your highness. I assume you've come to try all of my delicious cakes." He said with arrogance.

Although I couldn't blame him, he was pretty much known for his amazing cakes. I eagerly nodded and he made a 'hmph' sound. "Alright then. Please, follow me." He said and led me to a room outside of the doors of the kitchen.

I found us at a dining hall which was completely empty, save for the cakes that littered almost every single table and the one empty bench in the middle of the room where Levi already sat. I gave him a smile, to which he slightly waved and looked away.

I rolled my eyes at his tough-guy act and sat beside him as the chef nodded. "Now if either of you gets too full, don't hesitate to ask for a potion. It won't affect your digestive system, it'll only make it so that you won't feel full." He said with a reassuring smile before he walked back into the kitchen, leaving Levi and I alone.

He turned his head to give me a real smile this time, and I returned it before standing up."Alright! These cakes are calling my name!" I exclaimed and started walking to the first table. "Why do you seem more excited about cakes than our wedding?" He asked with a smirk. I stuck out my tongue. "Duh. Because the cakes will never leave me." I replied and sliced a piece of chocolate cake with vanilla icing and chocolate chips on the outer layer. "I wouldn't leave you." He added, taking a piece for himself."Yeah. But the cake is great. It's a commonly known fact." I retorted, and he rolled his eyes before we both took a bite.

My taste buds exploded, and I couldn't help but him in delight. I watched in disbelief as Levi only shrugged and set his plate down, the piece of cake on it barely eaten."That was alright." He commented, and I scoffed. "Maria you really are a spoiled turd." I joked, and he turned around before rolling his eye."Whatever." He said, and I mimicked him with my mouth as he did so before giggling to myself and walking towards a strawberry cake.
