"I'll leave you to open it-" Farlan muttered.

NO

PLEASE NO

I NEED THE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

"PLEASE STAY!"

"UH- OK FINE-" Farlan shouted back, startled by my outburst.

THANK YOU

"Do you mind preparing paper to write back?"

"Of course," he nodded, walking over to Levi's desk.

OK Y/N

BRACE YOURSELF

YOU KNOW- THE PRINCE MIGHT BE WORSE THAN THE FIRST PRINCESS

I MEAN AT LEAST SHE THINKS I'M HER SIBLING

EVEN IF SHE HATES MY GUTS

I broke the seal, opening the letter. The first thing I noticed was how awful the first prince's handwriting was.

did he .

not go to school ??

i could've sworn he was around my age

DID THEY NOT EDUCATE HIM ?

I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST MY FATHER

"How is it?" Farlan shot me a grimace, setting a sheet of paper and a quill in front of me.

oh uh <3

i haven't read it

too busy judging his handwriting

'Hey Number 13-'

WE ARE ALREADY OFF TO A HORRIBLE START

'Hey Number 13,

Te-'

NO-

STOP READING

'NUMBER 13' ???

WHAT DOES HE THINK I AM ??

HE'S JUST SOME DUDE .

'Hey Number 13,

Tell the Duke to prepare a room-"

HOLD ON

he recognizes levi as the duke but im number 13 .

at least add duchess in there somewhere

'Tell the Duke to prepare a room, I'll be performing an inspection of the Duchy.'

is that-

wouldn't that be a direct challenge to levi's loyalty?

there's no way he's just 'allowed' to do that-

i mean-

the king didn't seem like he was suspicious of anything when i met with him

not to say that levi isn't plotting treason-

he's definitely a bit-

'Someone like you would probably struggle to make proper accommodations so I thought I would let you know in advance. I wouldn't want someone like you to make the Duke look bad.' The letter ended with that message.

i would be more intimidated if his handwriting was even a fraction more legible

"Farlan-"

"Are you done?"

"Yes," I took a deep breath, gathering my thoughts, "it seems like we're about to get a surprise visitor."

'someone like you would struggle to make proper accommodations'

"Would you mind preparing a messenger?" I glanced up at him.

"For the prince?"

"No- for Levi."

im nearly certain that this letter was never supposed to be seen by levi-

only to intimidate me

SUCKS TO SUCK YOU AWFUL PRINCE- I'M NOT ABOVE SNITCHING ON YOU .

"Right away," Farlan nodded, leaving the room. I reread the letter quickly before folding it back up, putting it in a new envelope with a quick note of my own.

i can't sit still either-

i've been laughing about it but-

he is the prince

more importantly, he's being a complete asshole

status or not i'm a human being

i'm also his sister-

but fine

it's ok if he doesn't want to recognize me

but i won't let him embarrass me like that

"Hanji," I opened the door to the office, greeting the guard as I exited. "Could you find Kuchel and have her gather the staff in the entrance hall? I have something to say."

WE HAVE A WHINY BOY TO BEAT

"I've just received a letter from the prince," Kuchel and Petra had quickly gathered the staff in the entrance, I addressed them from the stairs that overlooked the hall. "It's short notice but we'll have to start preparing for his arrival immediately, there's no telling how long he'll stay after he arrives so be prepared for that."

how rude can i get about him

Immediately the room erupted into chatter, Kuchel who had been standing next to me immediately started to give people tasks to do, Petra shot me a flabbergasted look before leaning over to whisper in my ear.

"DOES HE KNOW THAT LEVI ISN'T HERE?"

"I HAVE NO CLUE- I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST HIM TO NOT KNOW," I whisper shouted back.

HONESTLY, THE LETTER MADE IT SOUND LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW BUT-

MORE LIKELY THAN NOT HE DOES KNOW

I MEAN- I'M GOING TO GIVE HIM HELL BUT I IMAGINE HE'S WAY MORE SCARED OF LEVI THAN HE IS OF ME-

"I wish we could just turn him away," Petra grumbled quietly under her breath, "sorry- I know you're related but he only really comes here to be disruptive. I had to attend to him my first year here- he's difficult to say the least."

us being related means literally nothing <3

i only like two of my siblings and i don't even know if one of them likes me </3

annie girlboss of my dreams

"I've never had a good interaction with him so I'd assume that we have the same impression."

i've probably talked to him only like three times

"Don't be surprised if your opinion of him gets worse," she sighed.

"I have a special request for you," I turned towards her, glancing once over my shoulder to make sure that Kuchel didn't need any help before leading Petra out of the hall. "Could you prepare an outfit for when I greet him?"

I ENTRUST YOU WITH MY WARDROBE <3

"Of course," a wide grin spread across her features, "you'll look like a goddess."

I LOOK FORWARD TO IT

"Do you think you could let Kuchel know that I want to be moved into Levi's room?"

"Of course," Petra hummed, winking at me.

"IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

"Huh? Not like what Y/N?" She laughed, running off to find Kuchel before I could get in another word.

i don't think this will be that bad after all
