"The Duke is ready outside," Petra nudged me forward- out of my room.

YEAH I KNOW THIS IS JUST REALLY SUDDEN

I MEAN IM NOT OPPOSED TO THE ATTENTION BUT-

I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD GET A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE ACTUALLY STARTED OPERATION IMPROVE EVERYONE'S LIVES

"Levi can s-"

"Are you ready?" Kuchel's voice rang out from the otherside of the door.

ur so vulgar Y/N

I DON'T EVEN SWEAR SHUT UP

:////

"More than ready!" I cheered bursting through the doors, "I've never been so excited for something in my entire life."

ur acting is A+++++++

"I'm happy to hear that," she beamed carefully guiding me towards the main doors.

"Levi has been so busy lately," I paused, pretending to tear up. "My heart sinks when I think of all the time we've spent apart in the past 24 hours."

IT SOUNDS LAME WHEN YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT

WELL IT'S TRUE I ONLY JUST GOT HERE

STILL

"Y/N- let me know if he's ignoring you," Kuchel sounded serious and cold.

HE'S NOT

"Levi's actually," I glanced up at the Duke who was watching us as we made our way to the carriages, "he's just fine so don't worry about it."

AND ALSO HE'S CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED TO CARE <3

"Anyway! I love you Kuchel- see you later," I waved over my shoulder rushing towards Levi.

HOW'D I DO???

"You're a shit actor."

IM AMAZING

"Liar," I glanced back over my shoulder at Kuchel. "Anyway it doesn't matter what you think, Kuchel believes it."

OKOK OPPERATION IMPROVE EVERYONE'S LIVES IS STARTING OUT WELL

"You're really bad at carrying conversations did you know that?" I glanced up at Levi who had gone completely silent.

LIKE AWFUL

"I'm not contractually obligated to hold a conversation."

WHAT- BUT STILL

"Yeah but- Kuchel wants us to be head over heels for each other." I hummed, linking my arm with his, "so you should get better at looking like you're having a good time."

WOW MY GUTS RN

the confidence is fake if he insults me i will crumble

XOXO

"Regardless of how you look at it it's suspicious if I start acting overly excited for something that I've never been excited about before."

WTF LEVI YOU'VE BEEN ON OTHER DATES BEFORE ???? I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING ???

"WAIT!" I paused, "you've dated before?????"

HE DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT

Levi stared at me- unresponsive.

SO YOU HAVEN'T DATED ?

"Taking that as a no-"

Not answering is an answer

"Nobles don't get to fuck around and live out fairytale romances," Levi said coldly.

I MEAN-

"Of course not but I mean- you've never snuck out???? You've never had a fling with a maid???"

HAS HE LIVED ???

I MEAN IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SOMETHING YOU MIGHT AS WELL

I GET A PASS FOR NOT EXPERIENCING LIFE BC I WAS #CONFINED

"And you have?"

WELL

"No I haven't but if I was in your position I would have-" I rolled my eyes, dragging him ahead.

THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT ITS YOUR DIVINE RIGHT AS THE DUKE TO HAVE A LOT OF FUN <3

"I'm learning so much about you," Levi responded dryly.

We're bonding this is great.

"Ask as many questions as you'd like- I didn't get out of the house much so I only have around 3 interests but we can work on it."

YEAH I COULD GET REALLY INTO VAMPIRES

OR REALLY INTO DISCIPLINING MAIDS

OR REALLY INTO NICE OUTINGS LIKE THIS

"So?"

WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT ????

"So????? I'm your wife???? You're my husband???? What if someone asks us to talk about each other?????" I frowned.

It would be incredibly embarrassing if we were to go out in public all lovey dovey and didn't know a single thing about each other-

JUST SAYING :///

thts how it is <33333

"We're noble- no one's really expecting us to know that much about each other," he groaned.

WOW OK LEVI

ur personality is getting in the way of the romantic developments in this story

GET OVER URSELF

"You do realize that our entire outing today is for the sole purpose of pretending to be madly in love???"

SO LETS PLAY 20 QUESTIONS

"You know what? Whatever I'll just ask you things first-" I sighed loudly to myself.

ANYWAY

"Sure, go for it," Levi muttered.

You know he looks amused if anything.

I DO NOT WANT TO BE A JOKE

YOU ARE THOUGH ????

"Opinions on treason?"

"Fuck you."

"Sure! Just not in public xoxo," I beamed- Levi flipped me off.

Good to know everything is normal.

"Favorite book?"

WOW WHAT A BASIC QUESTION Y/N

IT'S IMPORTANT- IF HE HAS BAD TASTE I'LL HAVE TO ASK FOR A DIVORCE

IM-

"The history of the kingdom," he replied flatly.

LIAR I'VE READ THAT- IT'S BORING

"You're a bad liar- come on if it's something a little more scandalous I won't judge <3"

Tusk Love from last year was a bestseller for a reason <3

"The King's daily schedule," Levi muttered under his breath.

SHOTS FIRED

OMFG

LEVI <33333

"PLEASE TELL ME MORE!"

"Well-"
