Manipulated and Vulnerable

The hours passed in a blur.

Eren and Levine talked about various subjects as the former refilled the latter's glass. Between the city of White Raven's future plans and the Montmorency clan's resource management, they had a lot to talk about.

As always, the butcher charmed Levine with his words. He supported Levine's stance and her decisions when he found them right. He suggested alternatives whenever he thought she was about to do something wrong with managing her clan's resources.

The two also talked about Eren's graduation. Levine asked whom he was attending the ball. The butcher said that he would like to go with all the ladies he is currently involved with in any capacity, including her. Of course, he meant those in the capital city at the time.

Nina, Renita, Altashia, Marla, Almera, Nysa, and Jiana. Levine was also added to the list of partners Eren decided to bring to his Grad Ball.
