Chapter 1: Waiting

┗━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━┛

The last time Maria remembers hearing rain like this was one year ago when her brother passed away. That day she dreamt of a beautiful sunset, fascinated by the colors in the sky as the sun went down. Standing on top of a hill, a tree next to her, she was alone and waiting for someone.

Someone who never showed up, or at least that's what she remembers before waking up.

For a moment it feels like time has stopped until the carriage moves uncontrollably. It was usual to find rocks and bumps on the road but this time the carriage made such a commotion that it makes all the passengers inside hit their heads with the top part of the wheeled vehicle.

Rain poured down from the skies, hitting the top part of the carriage. Although the sound was comforting to many, this time it only made the passengers sigh in disappointment.

"I can't believe we're going to live with the Survey Corps from now on," said Lisa as she moves a string of her blond hair and tucks it behind her ear. "And to be their maids nonetheless! We're tavern dancers, not housewives."

"And that's exactly what they want us for!" Leah rolls her green eyes in annoyance at her friend's naiveness. She took a quick look outside the window, they weren't near the Survey Corps headquarters just yet. "Yes, they want us to clean but not only that ... I am sure we're there to satisfy their soldier's needs."

"What do you mean?" Lisa asks, pretending not to know just what her friend means with her words.

"To put it simply, male and females soldiers are fucking but it's dangerous, someone can get pregnant. If a woman gets pregnant they are unable to fight, therefore they're losing more soldiers for their expeditions," Leah responds. Her anger was evident and justified. After all, she went from being the most successful tavern dancer in all of the walls to being a simple house attendant.
"We are tavern dancers, most of us fuck for a living too. So, we're there for their entertainment and to decrease the pregnancy between the female soldiers. After all, who cares if a whore gets pregnant, right?"

"The sad thing is that we're not even going to be getting paid as much as we used to ... I mean, I guess we're going to get free food and a safe place to live."

Lisa looks over to her right and notices that her other friend was awfully quiet. Her brunette friend was looking outside the carriage's window; her brown eyes averted into the vast forest that served as a distraction from the fact that their lives were changing.

"Personally, I wouldn't mind fucking a man if he asks nicely ... Or what do you think?" Lisa asks out loud to get her friend's attention who was still very invested in looking at nature. Seeing that she was still daydreaming and that she didn't hear her, Lisa called her name.

"Are you alright, Maria?"

While Levi was enjoying his new title as Captain and leader of the Special Operations Squad, he hated how he had to re-clean everything in the whole dorm. It's as if his team wasn't capable of doing it properly the first time. Every squad had their own small dorm to attend to, just like a house. Five rooms, one for each member, one restroom, a storage room, a kitchen, and a dining room. It was small but it provided the members with everything they needed. Privacy, a place to sleep, shower, and eat.

But of course, they rarely cared about cleaning at all or if they did, it was all poorly done.

On the bright side, Levi heard from Erwin that the Survey Corps dorms will be getting some extra hands to help clean and cook for the scouts. Even though at first he saw it as a waste of sources and money, now it doesn't seem like a bad idea.

As humanity's strongest soldier was mopping the floor like there was no tomorrow, he heard knocking coming from the entrance door. Three knocks to be exact.

"Petra, the door!" Levi screams as he thought that mopping the floor was more important than opening the door at the moment.

But nothing.

And again, three knocks.

"Eld, the door!"

Nothing. Knocks again.

"Oluo! Gunther! You, shitheads, open the damn door!"

But nobody went to open it.

Levi sighs in disappointment and in anger. This is why this place was never fully clean because on the free days that his team had, they used it as resting days to go to town and have some 'fun' time.

He stomps his way to the door and opens it and if it wasn't for his ability to control his strength he would have broken it a long time ago.

"What?" He asks automatically and is surprised to find that it was raining. He probably didn't notice it before because he was too concentrated on cleaning.

"Um, hello ... My name is Maria and I'm your new designated house attendant."

Levi cursed mentally, great another tall person to deal with. The brunette girl is probably 5'6 or 5'7 feet tall, which was above average for the women he knows. The good thing is that she looks in her mid-twenties so there was no more room for her to grow. Her brown hair lay down her shoulders and it's so long that it touches her lower back.

He could tell that she is extremely tired, her brown eyes frequently blinking. She has dark circles under her eyes and if Levi didn't know better, he knows that she would fall asleep at any second.

But, did he care? No.

What mattered to him was her dirty dress. The ends were filled with mud and her shoes would undoubtedly stain the floor he had just moped.

"Pick up your dress," he says.

"What?"

Maria places her luggage in front of her out of instinct. She felt heat rush to her cheeks. When she worked at the tavern, men would be straightforward with her. Nonetheless, she wasn't expecting to be approached so quickly ... Especially, by a guy who's supposed to be serious and in control all the time. Were they that needed?

"And take off your shoes, I don't want you dirtying my floor," Levi left the door open to let her pass inside. Maria was quick to react and felt more embarrassed for thinking the small guy wanted something from her.

"Right, of course."

Maria did as she was told and immediately took off her black shoes and let her white socks touch the wet floor. She picks up the edge of her dress and her shoes with one hand and with the other she holds her suitcase. After she enters, Levi closes the door behind them and walks back towards the dining room. Maria follows him closely and notices that the short man was walking to another room. He opens a wooden door that is next to the dining room and stands there.

"Are you going to sleep standing there or are you going to follow me into your room."

"Yes, of course!" Maria says again as she takes small running steps towards him.

"Stop saying that already."

The brunette enters the room and passes by Levi who is holding the door open for her. It was a medium-size room, there was a bed and a small desk with a chair. There was a closet as well but what caught her attention the most was there was a food stand, boxes, bags, and more food cans. There were a lot of cleaning appliances as well.

"This is the storage room, there is no other room in the house," Levi says. He had to admit that it wasn't as clean as he wanted it to be. Although he was the one who cleaned this place, he didn't get enough time to clean it thoroughly. His only hope was that this girl was good enough to clean her room.

"It's fine," Maria says as she places her suitcase on the bed. Levi notices that she was struggling to open it as she was still grabbing onto her black shoes and the edge of her dress with one hand. But most importantly, the mud from her dress was starting to drip off to the floor.

"Take off your dress."

Maria then immediately drops her shoes and her dress, thus irritating Levi because the motion of the moment made a lot of the mud and dirt fall off from the dress to the floor.

"I know I used to work in a tavern but I don't offer those kinds of services sir," Maria says, really trying to keep a strong stance but she found herself a bit intimidated by the short guy.

"If you don't offer services then what the fuck are you doing here?" Levi's voice is threatening and in all honesty, he wasn't in the mood to discuss. This girl is supposed to be helping clean this house but instead, she's just making the floors dirty.

"I can do anything else! I can cook and clean and-"

"If you can do anything then you can start by taking off that dirty dress of yours," Levi crosses his arms, he is backing away. What was wrong with taking off her dress? Was it the only one she had?

"But sir-"

"No, buts. Take it off, now."

Levi was about to walk out to give her some privacy, but he immediately stops the moment he hears a suppressed sob. The girl has small tears in the corner of her eyes, threatening to come out. What was going with her?

"Please ... Don't make me do this."

Her voice made Levi feel immediately guilty and the worst part of it was that he didn't know what he did wrong to make her feel bad. Alright, he's not the most welcoming person but he was just asking her to take off her dress, so she wouldn't dirty the floors. That way she doesn't have to clean them later, less work for her.

"Oi, you were brought here for this reason," Levi says as he tries to make his voice softer and less intimidating. "But you need to take off that dress, you are making my floors dirty. If you don't have any other clothes to wear, I'll lend you some."

"Wait, what?"

"Take off that dirty dress while I get you some clothes."

With that, Levi made his way out of the room and closes the door behind him. When he left, Maria sits down on her bed still not believing what she had just done.

"God ... I'm an idiot."

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

Maria had already changed to another dress. A brown dress with a white collar and buttons. It had no under petticoat, which allows her to move freely and the length of it reaches to her knees so it doesn't get dirty with dust or mud. A very simple dress, just like the one maids wear.

She hears a knock and assumes that the man would just enter. But he doesn't, meaning he is asking for her permission to come inside her room.

"You may come inside," she says loudly.

"I brought you some clothes, they're a bit big, but they're the only thing that I have that might fit someone of your height," Levi enters the room as he looks at his folded clothes on his hands. However, his attention is taken by the woman in front of him, she is already in a new dress.

"I thought you didn't have clothes ... Anyways, I'll just leave this here in case you need them."

He places the folded clothes on her empty desk and turns to look back at her again.

"Thank you," Maria says. "Are you hungry? I can cook dinner for you."

"No, but if you're hungry, go ahead and cook something for yourself," Levi walks back towards the wooden door. "After that, you should rest. Tomorrow morning you're starting your duties."

"Yes, of course, sir."

"Just call me Levi."

"Yes, Mr. Levi."

He rolls his eyes, annoyed and lets out a frustrated sigh. This woman has a lot of learning to do. With that, Levi left the room, it's time for some alone time. Just him and a cup of black tea is waiting for him.

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

Some time had passed after Maria was done placing her clothes inside her new closet. She and her co-worker friends had to leave their town so fast that Maria didn't have enough time to pack more clothes. Not like it matters too much since the man from the Survey Corps who had recruited them told them to only take one suitcase. Maybe she could start saving some money or look for some old rags so she can sew dresses.

She expected to meet more people, but to her surprise, she only found Levi in the cottage. The property itself was big for just one person, so Maria assumed that the other residents of the home must be somewhere else.

Now that she settled down, it was time for some exploration. She wasn't hungry but she decided to look through the kitchen first. The brunette wanted to know where everything was placed so tomorrow she could start well by making breakfast.
    She opened the wooden door and it immediately took her to the dining room.

The dining room only had a table large enough for five people to sit in. It was illuminated enough, one candle in the center of the table, other candles resided in the corners of the room. There was a window in front of the room and Maria saw the moon rise in the dark sky.

But there was more.

Levi is sitting on a chair on the dining table, a cup of tea in his hand. As Maria gets closer, she notices that the cup was empty, but the leftover aroma was that of black tea. A newspaper spread across the table and Levi was already in a deep sleep.

The man doesn't look too threatening now. His facial expression, although still very strong, wasn't as concerted as before. Maria hears his soft breaths and for a moment she felt bad to ever think wrongly of him.

But could you blame her? After all, anyone who knew that she worked at a tavern thought that she was in on the pleasure business as well. Of course, she didn't but she already had enough trouble with men as it is.

Maria goes back to her room and opens her closet where she finds one of her handmade blankets. She planned on using it tonight, although the blanket that was provided in her room should be enough for now.

She goes back to the dining room and finds Levi sleeping in the same position. Extending her blue blanket, Maria places it on top of Levi's body as softly as she could to not wake him up.

Levi.

She didn't want to make it obvious but Maria has heard a lot about him. Her brother used to admire him a lot and would talk about him on a regular basis. The only thing that her brother wanted to do was to achieve greatness. She was a completely different story. Maria was nothing but a simple woman, not destined for greatness.

Now that her brother wasn't here, the only thing that she wanted was to help those who could achieve it.

And she knew for a fact that Levi ... Well, not just him but everyone at the Survey Corps is capable of achieving great things. And if her only way to help them is to cook and clean for them, then let it be.

"Rest well Mr. Levi."

Maria lets out a soft whisper, as she leaves the dining room, ready to take a look through the kitchen.

Little did she know that the short man was awake when she said so.

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

When Maria finished inspecting the kitchen, she went back to her room and changed to the clothes Levi lent her. She didn't have any comfortable clothes to sleep in and since he went through all that trouble to get her the clothes, she decided it was better to make good use of them.

She remembers Levi mentioning the possibility that the clothes could be oversized. It may be big for a man of Levi's size, but her? Not so much. The brown baggy pants adjusted well to her waist, the edge of the pants reaching slightly above her ankles. The brown pants looks to be used before; due to the brown color fading, the pants had clearly been over washed.

The white long button sleeve shirt is looser, this one has a certain fragrance she couldn't quite describe. Was it black tea? Mixed with mint? She didn't know what exactly it was, but there's no question about it, this shirt is indeed Captain Levi's.

It's the middle of the night and Maria is already peacefully asleep until she hears knocks coming from her door. She takes a few seconds to make the numbness go away, letting out a small yawn as she opens the door.

Captain Levi is here again and he looks the same as before. Did he even go to sleep in his room? Now that she takes a closer look at him, he's even wearing the same clothes from a few hours ago.

"Is there something I can help you with Mr. Levi?" Maria asks as she rubs one of her eyes.

"Can I stay here for a while? My shit heads may come any minute now and I want to surprise them."

"Your shit heads?" Maria opens the door and steps aside to let Levi inside her room. She sees him take a seat on the front of her desk.

"My squad went to town today, probably to a bar to get drunk. It's 4 a.m. and they know we have training tomorrow," Levi says, as he looks at Maria taking a seat on the edge of her bed, facing him. "This happens more often than you think. After their night ends, they come back here and usually go to the storage room to get some canned food or some shit."

"Oh, so they would have stomped into my room uninvited."

"Exactly," Levi added as he made a short pause as he realizes that Maria was wearing the clothes he brought for her earlier. "Those brats need to learn some respect. I may not be their captain for the weekends, but I sure am during the rest of the week."

Maria smiles, she didn't know what exactly it was, but a part of her told her that Captain Levi is more worried than anything. Yes, he is angry that they were late out at night without his permission, but the fact that he is going to such lengths to reprimand them means that he indeed cares for his team.

"Must be hard to be a Captain and leader of a squad."

"The hardest part is creativity. ... After a while, you run out of punishment ideas."

The woman couldn't reply. Although she giggled a little due to his commentary, there wasn't much she could say. Levi picks up on this and before the atmosphere becomes awkward he comes up with a question. After all, if she was going to stay with them, he might as well get to know a bit about her now.

"You said you worked in a tavern ... How did you end up here?"

Maria is surprised, she didn't expect him to ask anything related to her.

"Well, my brother was nine and I was 15 when we ran away from home. I never got an education so the only place I could get a job to sustain myself and my little brother was at a tavern."

"Abusive parents?"

"No ... Just very strict. You see, my dad was a teacher but he thought that girls didn't need an education. Just be pretty and do chores to get a good husband. So I never went to school," Maria looks up to the ceiling. She doesn't mind talking about her, but she didn't want to bore Levi either with her stories.

"When my brother was born, my dad focused his time and money on his education. Meanwhile, I stayed with my mom and she taught me how to cook, sew, and clean. Everything I needed to know to be the perfect wife."

Maria looks back to find that Levi is extremely invested in her story. His elbow is placed on the desk next to him as his hand softly holds his left cheek. The scenery makes her blush a little, so she continues with her story.

"But they became really angry when they found out my brother wanted to join the cadet training program to join the Survey Corps," she places a hand on her neck, slightly rubbing it.

"So, we ran away ... And then my boss was found to be conspiring against the king. The tavern was closed by the Military Police, we were left without a job and that's when the Survey Corps came to look for us."

"I was aware that the Survey Corps hired people to work here, but I didn't know that they hired everyone from a tavern—" Levi is suddenly cut off as he hears small footsteps approaching them. "It seems that our chat has to continue later ... Let's stay quiet for a bit."

Maria, again did as she was told.

Levi looks at his left and notices the candle placed on Maria's desk. With a quick blow, he turns it off and waits.

"Oluo! Be quiet, the Captain can wake up!"

"We're hungry Petra! Eld and I are going to the storage room to get something."

"Just be quiet, I'm taking Gunther to his bed."

And suddenly, Maria's door is open. The brunette quickly looks at Levi who places his index finger in front of his mouth, making a signal for her to stay quiet.

"Eh? Who are you?" Oluo asks as he comes inside her room with a candle. Eld follows from behind. Maria stays quiet as she is still sitting on her bed.

Eld is now next to Oluo, both of them standing in front of Maria.

"Hey lady, I don't know who you are but you're not allowed to stay here."

"You're the ones who are not allowed to be here."

Eld and Oluo freeze the moment they hear their Captain's voice behind them. As if they were in a scary play, both males turn slowly to face Levi who is looking scarier than usual.

"Captain Levi! I thought you'd be sleeping by now," Eld says as he scratches the back of his head. Oluo goes back to his usual self. He rolls his eyes in annoyance and embarrassment.

"Tomorrow we start training by running ten laps around the flower fields," Levi says. The door is slightly open next to him and he opens it wider to invite his friends to go out. "Now, get out of this room, Maria is tired and we're bothering her with our petty problems."

Both soldiers nod and walk out of Maria's room. Levi was the last one to leave and before he closed the door he simply gave the woman a sympathetic look.

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

The next morning, Levi's squad couldn't be worse. Hungry and with a horrible hangover. Levi was the one to wake them up as there was some news he wanted to share with his team in the early morning. Now everyone was sitting in the dining room, half asleep and half awake. All of them were wearing pajamas.

"What do you think Captain Levi wants to talk about?" Gunther asks with his eyes closed.

"I don't know ... probably scold us?" Petra says as she tries to cover her eyes. The sun is starting to come out and the sunlight coming from the front window is hitting her face directly.

"He is probably going to talk to us about his girlfriend or something," Eld says with a bit of disbelief in his voice.

"What? Girlfriend?" Petra is almost out of her chair when she hears Eld's words.

"Yeah, we found her in the storage room with Captain Levi."

Eld sat next to Oluo who sees this as an opportunity. He is aware of the crush that Petra has for the Captain and this could be the moment he needs to make his way into the woman's heart.

"Did you notice that the girl was wearing Captain Levi's clothes? Do you think that the two of them ... Well, you know."

"I don't see why they wouldn't, they had the house for themselves and Captain Levi is a man, he has his necessities after all—"

Eld is then suddenly interrupted by Petra who slams her hands onto the wooden table.

"No, Captain Levi is not like that!"

"You brats are already so noisy in the morning?"

Levi makes his presence known with a classical sarcastic remark. Unlike the rest of his team, he was already dressed for training. The classical uniform for the Survey Corps, white pants, white shirt, brown boots, and his jacket.

Humanity's strongest soldier walks towards the dining table taking his regular seat. Everyone is looking at him as he takes a seat in the middle of the table.

The airis tense but the click and clack of heels approaching them filled the room and made the atmosphere less tense.

"Good morning everyone!" Maria says as she comes out of the kitchen. She is wearing the brown dress she wore yesterday. The only difference was that there was a white apron tied around her waist. Her hair is down but a tied bandana around her head prevented hair from coming in front of her face, except for her bangs. "I've prepared breakfast for all of you, I'll bring it right away."

"This is Maria, our new designated house attendant ... Maria, this is my squad. Squad, this is Maria ... Try not to bother her too much," Levi says as he looks at the woman who is standing in front of the window.

"If you guys ever need something from me, just tell me. I'll cook, clean, and run any errands for you at any time."

Maria expected some type of acknowledgment of her words but instead, shemet with nothing. She always thought of herself to be an average looking woman but at this moment, she wasn't.

Her brown hair, caramel eyes, she has good skin, not perfect but still good. Her lips were average size and her eyes look more tired than anything else. Maria didn't have the perfect figure either, she wasn't skinny nor fat, just in-between. Compared to the female soldiers, Maria felt ashamed and even intimidated by their good looking bodies.

But wow ... The sunlight reflecting on her figure and face made her look angelic.

And everyone noticed this, even Levi.

Due that there were no words exchanged and the glares were making Maria uncomfortable, she decided to proceed with her duties.

"Well, I'll be bringing out the food now."

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

After everyone was done eating breakfast, they went back to their rooms to get changed. The only one left in the dining room was Levi who had also finished eating. Maria entered the dining room and was fast to start picking up the plates from the table.

"Did you eat?" Levi asks as he watches Maria pick up the plates.

"Yes, I ate in the kitchen," she responds as she proceeds to pick up Levi's plate.

"Why didn't you eat with us?"

"Oh, I just thought it would be more proper for someone like me to eat in the kitchen," she finally finished picking up all five plates and water cups. "Besides there's only enough space for five people at the table."

"Next time eat with us, we'll figure out something for the table spacing."

Maria smiles at him, the small man always looks angry and could be rude ... but he is not that bad.

"Thank you, Mr. Levi."

The brunette goes back to the kitchen and soon after she comes out again. This time she is holding a cup of tea in her hand. She walks directly towards Levi and places the tea cup in front of him.

"I made some black tea for you, I hope you don't mind."

Levi is surprised, this woman might be a little bit annoying in the beginning. Nonetheless, she was picking up stuff really quickly. Maybe having her around is not that bad and once he teaches her the way he wants things done, she can become a pleasant guest in their house.

The black-haired man took a sip of black tea.

"Thank you."

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

The squad was already all done and ready to go training as planned. Petra, Oluo, Eld, and Gunther were waiting for their Captain on the front of the door, which was very strange. Levi would always be the one waiting for them, he was the first one to be ready and be by the door.

Soon enough, Levi is walking towards them with the woman taller than him following from behind.

"I'll have dinner ready for when you all come back," Maria says as she opens the door for them.

"Very well then, we're taking off."

"Take care."

Levi looks at Maria's eyes for a few seconds before nodding and exiting the house. The others follow as they also say their goodbyes to their house attendant. They gave Levi his space, he is in front of them while the others walk behind him trying to make little to no noise in their conversation. They are heading to the stable to get their horses but still, they couldn't deny what had happened earlier.

"Are we just going to pretend we didn't see that look they gave each other?" Gunther asks in a low tone to Eld and Oluo.

"Also that the Captain looks ... Strangely in a good mood?" Eld questions again.

"I am telling you, I am sure yesterday night they fuc—"

"Shut up," Petra immediately stops the talking between her friends. "If Captain Levi hears you he's going to add to our punishment ... and besides, I think he was just being nice."

"Come on Petra," Eld says. "When was the last time you saw Captain Levi be nice to someone?"

✧༝┉┉┉┉┉˚*❋ ❋ ❋*˚┉┉┉┉┉༝✧

Levi's Special Operations Squad was still running around the tulip flower fields. He would have joined them if it wasn't because this was a punishment. The black-haired man began to notice that other soldiers were starting to make their appearance as well. After all, the Survey Corps training grounds are right in front of the 100 yards long tulip flower field. The good news is that they are almost done with their ten laps.

The Captain then heard soft steps coming towards him, grass being crushed as the person gets closer.

"Your team stayed late in town again?"

Erwin made his way next to Levi and he didn't even flinch at his sudden appearance.

"Yes ... They don't learn, no matter how much I punish them," Levi replies as he keeps an eye on his team running.

"Don't be hard on them, they're young after all."

"They still have duties they must fill."

"It wouldn't be bad for you to relax from time to time, you're young as well. Enjoy that while you can."

Levi lets out an angry sigh. Erwin wasn't wrong, being in his late twenties was a thing that was only going to happen once in his life. Nonetheless, it did bother him when people told him he should be having 'fun'.

There was a silence that was filled thanks to the air passing by. The wind dances around the grass and the leaves of the trees create a sweet melody of instant peace.

"Are you enjoying your new house attendant?"

The silence is interrupted again by Commander's advisor Erwin Smith.

"She has a lot of learning to do, but she was alright yesterday and this morning," Levi says. "I'll teach her some stuff once I get back home." There was a specific way Levi wanted things to be done around the house. Proper cleaning is an art and it took time to master all of it.

Erwin let out a cough, if it wasn't because he was a very controlled person, he would have fainted by now.

"I didn't know you were so ... needed," Erwin says, he looks over at Levi who still had his normal unpreoccupied face. "Well, we brought those women from the taverns for that purpose too."

"Which brings the question ... Why saloon girls? Wouldn't it be easier to just get whoever is available?" Levi asks, this time it was his turn to look at Erwin.

"Don't you know? There was an increase in pregnancy among the female soldiers in our squads. We are hoping to decrease the number by bringing in females who are skilled in satisfying a man's needs," Erwin says. "But of course, everything has to be consensual."

"Eh?" Levi now stops paying attention to the punishment implemented on his squad. He now focused only on Erwin's words.

"So, you are telling me that those women were brought here to clean, cook, and be sex workers?"

"Yes, everyone knows ... but as I said, it has to be consensual. They won't be forced to do anything they don't want to do."

After Erwin said 'yes' there was nothing else Levi wanted to hear at the moment. Flashbacks of the night before were crossing his mind and if he could, he would scream at this moment.

"Take off your dress."

"I know I used to work in a tavern but I don't offer those kinds of services sir."

"No buts, take it off."

"Please ... Don't make me do this."

Now Levi understood why she was almost on the verge of crying last night. It wasn't because she didn't have any other clothes to change to, no. It was because she thought ... that he wanted to ...

"God ... I'm an idiot."
