post aot ! jean kirstein x black reader - ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE AND WAR
content warning light smut. more to be added soon
synopsis months before paradis launched its attack on libero, marley, you met a man you couldnât keep your eyes off of. one night, you shared a night with him - it was wonderful but it was also your last goodbye. his explanation for leaving worried you, but then it all made sense when the raid on libero occurred. trying to get home didnât get much easier and it seemed almost impossible after the rumbling. luckily, youâre able to get back on your feet and you feel hopefulâŚuntil you receive a letter from your hookup years ago.
format this will be a full-length jean kirstein story. iâm going with the letter format so that the readers will watch the story unfold within the correspondence between y/n and jean.
how does beta reading work with ye4gerism? i did my first beta reading session with one person on twitter and it worked out very well! running it on twitter was the only way to provide this experience for free and without my work being released before i wanted it to.
i would love to start beta reading on monday or tuesday, depending on how fast i can finish these first few chapters.
as a beta reader, i am looking for FEEDBACK. not âthis was so good! :Dâ. i want to make this story good enough for the public (especially considering i havenât written in a while).
if youâre interested in beta reading, just fill out this two question form asking for your twitter and tumblr user. mine is REALPROUDAD! until then! :3
authorâs note: iâm not even with part four yet but i needed to write about jotaro as a husband NEOW
⢠jotaro in public and jotaro at home are two different people. when in public, heâll hold hands with you. heâs more of a firm but not interlaced personđ
âjotaro, iâm not going anywhere, can you please loosen your grip??? DAMN.â
at times, heâll hold your hand in the âmy ladyâ position, which makes his colleagues envy you. jotaro doesnât flaunt your relationship in public but his wedding ring and demeanor let people know that they need to back off. jotaro at home would be more intimate with you. he loves coming home from classes to cuddle with you. youâd cuddle in the sweetheart or the pretzel position. he often falls asleep first in these positions too. his hand would probably get tangled up in your hair but heâd tried to be careful with tugging - he understands that your hair means a lot to you and wouldnât want you to be uncomfortable.
⢠letâs talk about rings. when jotaro wanted to propose to you, he obvs wanted it to be perfect. who wouldnât? but this man literally spent more than hour deciding on if gold or silver would complement your skin tone more. after he decided on gold/silver, he then started to think about the color. would a sapphire pink look good on you or were you a more traditional girl and liked diamonds? he really wanted a ring that complements your looks and made you look good.
⢠OMG JOTARO IS THE WORST PERSON TO SLEEP WITH. you havenât even been married for 24 hours and this man and his big add self is already hogging the blanket. itâs not intentional but itâs annoying.
⢠you seriously hate it when he says âgood griefâ. it was fine when you were dating because you werenât in each otherâs presence but now that youâre married, youâve begun to hate his catchphrase. itâs even worse when youâre mad at him for something else and instead of communicating with you, he rolls his eyes, says his stupid little catchphrase, and walks away.
âGood griefâŚit isnât that big of a deal.â
âExcuse you???â
⢠jotaro hates it when you complain about his absences. you understand that heâs a busy man but as your marriage goes on, he just isnât there. whenever he is home, you find it hard to be happy because you have an issue with his absence
⢠going back to jotaroâs constant absence, your biggest argument was about it. it got emotional because you began to express your hopes for the future such as more vacations, maybe a proper wedding (your wedding was very simple due to you and jotaro being young when you got married), and even children.
⢠you do most of the cleaning since jotaro is often away but he isnât like a messy person either. he also gives you money for groceries and to spend on yourself to make up for his absence (which doesnât help). on date nights, if youâre going out, heâll pay for everything. he does not care if you have some on hand đ he will pay for everything. you let him know youâre getting your hair braided or heading to the beauty supply, heâll shove his card in your hand.
⢠as i mentioned in my first jjba hc post, you call him joot or joots, sometimes jojo but not always. he calls you some variation of your name. i donât think heâd be too big on affectionate nicknames.
⢠itâs not easy to make up with jotaro after a fight. itâs hard to get an âiâm sorryâ out of him but he makes it known that he doesnât hold any grudges against you. itâs never his intention to hurt you. he feels SUPER bad when you apologize for something that was totally his fault.
authorâs note: i just finished stardust crusaders and i absolutely adore polnareff, so i decided to put to some content out for him and maybe attract form jjba readersđ i decided to throw jotaro in the mix too. iâm not really gonna mention stands and all datđľâđŤeverythingâs up to your imagination! my requests are open! do feel free to drop requests!
edit: i also didnât use grammarly for this. give me a breakđŤŁ
JOTARO KUJO
⢠when i tell you it took yâall a long time together. jotaroâs bluntness made you wonder if you could even approach him and let him know your feelings. despite your established friendship, you were afraid to set him off and deal with his attitude. your distance from jotaro made him wonder if he scared you in some sort of way.
⢠i think heâd probably confess first but it wouldnât be like a whole âi love you, now letâs kiss in the rain and tap dance right afterâ type of thing. i donât even think heâd say âi love youâ. heâd probably just let it slip that he LIKES you. heâd prolly say something like âyouâre important to me.â
⢠youâd take it slow. pda wouldnât be too much of a big thing. you often share your kisses in private. he likes to put his arms around you when youâre just chilling out. heâd probably be a little scared to go public with you because of his âfan girlsâ. you know how vinnie hacker hangs out with girls and his fans immediately find out their day of birth, IP address, where they live and they make threats so that vinnie can stay single forever? yeah.
⢠i like how people in the fandom call him joot. so you affectionately call him joot or joots for extra measure. he acts like he hates it but he hates it even more when people other than you call him that. i swear, joseph would probably say the nickname and jotaro would get ready to backhand him (but he wouldnât just to stay in your good graces).
⢠when you meet holly for the first time, jotaro would act extra sweet as if he and his hormones havenât been tormenting his mom for the longest time. he gets a little embarrassed when holly shows him affection in front of you but you think itâs sweet.
⢠you find it easy to talk to jotaro because youâre both bipoc. when you first started dating, you werenât too worried about how heâd act. obvs thereâd be culture shock moments but it wouldnât be such a big deal yk?
⢠heâd also do this:
JEAN PIERRE POLNAREFF
⢠heâd make it known that he is in love with you. like heâd straight up tell you that he really likes you. but i do think heâd be really chill about it, he wouldnât want to scare you off.
⢠polnareff is always spoiling you. you talk about a food your craving, heâll buy it for you. a movie you wanna watch? get in the car- weâre gonna watch it. you tell him youâre tired of your bonnet slipping off, heâll buy you one of those non slip bonnets off of tiktok.
⢠when it comes to pda, i think polnareff is more of a hand holding type of guy. and i mean strictly handholding. heâll do all types of hand holding variations with you. kissing in public is really rare and more of a private thing for you both
⢠you call him by his first name the most. everyone around him refers to him by his last name but you simply call him jean. he prolly has a select amount of french nicknames for you and calls you âmy loveâ or simply just âloveâ in english.
⢠polnareff will walk into your bathroom and look at your hair products and think âwhat the hell is this?â đ heâd have a lot of questions but would just go with the flow

warnings:
authorâs note: my first x reader fic in MONTHS đso, itâs not THAT great and iâm not proud of it. absolutely booty but i need to put something out theređ§đžââď¸ my inbox is open so feel free to drop requests!
âYou are infuriating, you know that? Watching you work is torture.â
âOh as if you can play my role.â
âI could if I triedâŚand Iâd do it better than you!â
Jean enjoyed theatre. Sure, all his basketball buddies picked on him for mistakenly being placed in a class full of thespians but he stilled loved getting in stage and showing off. The only dreadful thing here was you- the full of spirit (and yourself apparently) cheerleader who rolled her eyes as Jean made an impression shot that made her teammates swoon. At least thatâs the image he painted of you in his head. You were sweet to everyone except him. Having you as a partner for this project just made things worse. Being face to face with you for an hour just made Jean want to jump down a set of stairs.
âAlright, Kirstein, Y/N, letâs break it up and try again,â Mr. Levi, your theatre teacher who was equally tired of your theatrics as much as your classmates were. You throw Jean another glare before sneering at him. âMake sure not to get so bothered by acting next time, idiot.â Levi gives you a stern look as a warning, which makes you straighten up immediately. As he begins to count you off, Jean notices how you begin to pace around and shake off your most recent argument. Your music begins moments before you stopped.
âYou try my patience, make your choice!â he starts. Jean watches as your face falls in despair before singing your lines. âPitiful creature of darknessâŚkind of life have you known?â You then begin to step towards him, with a glint of hope in your eyes. âGod give me courage to show you, you are not aloneâŚâ Your voice trails off. At this point, youâre supposed to pull Jean in for a kiss. Because you two cannot stand each other, a conversation was never had. Levi gives you a look, questioning why you hadnât kissed Jean yet. Jean notices your hesitation and takes a step forward. He quickly grabs your face and presses his lips against yours. Your eyes widen because of his boldness, but you give in because at the end of the day, you were getting a grade for this.
âCUT, CUT, CUT- I said CUT!â Yet, Jean hasnât pulled away and neither have you. Leviâs pleas have your classmates laughing in the wings or cheering in their seats. âKirstein, L/NâŚ!â You pull away first, unable to look at Jean. âGo sit down or something. WeâllâŚweâll pick this up again tomorrow. PleaseâŚjust get out of my sight!â Leviâs sudden bark has the both of you scrambling off the stage.
Throughout the rest of your day, you had received looks and snickers. You immediately knew that Jerk Kirstien had already everyone he knew about what he did. He probably didnât even kiss you for the sake of your grade but because he needed something to be proud of and to bring some more attention to him. You were thankful that cheer season was over so wouldnât have to answer any questions during practice.
The end of the day finally came and you were so glad. Youâre plan was to go straight to your car and straight home and probably scream into a pillow until you couldnât anymore. When you stepped outside you noticed Jean and his goons (Connie and Eren- who werenât completely goons. They were really nice sometimes) laughing about something. You decided that it was now that you needed to confront Jean about what had happened today. âHey asshat,â you say as you approach their circle. âOh, ho ho, Y/Nâs in da house!â Connie howls. âDude, youâre in so much trouble. Jean looks down sheepishly and Connie quiets down. âI think I hear my ma calling me. Iâll call you guys tonight?â Connie leaves without getting an answer and Eren follows after him.
âThat kiss must have been so great that you had tell everyone you know about it.â Jean finally looks up. âPeople talk you knowâŚIt wasnât just us in the theatre,â he replies. You cross your arms unconvinced. âLook, we both need the grade and we havenât made much progress with our scene. I just did it because of that. I didnât mean for it get that complicated.â
He actually seemed genuinely sorry for the stress it caused you. âCould I give you my number? Maybe we could talk about it and execute it better tomorrow?â You offer. Jean eyes you for a moment before finally pulling out his phone, âUmâŚdefinitely.â
ok so ngl to yâall, i do feel like starting a new account. i guess i want a fresh start since i havenât been active. iâll let yâall know the name of my new blog v soon.
i also have a new project coming out which i will also share within a few days!
i srsly wish there was away i could exclusively release content without asking people to pay. i have a jean centric story in my drafts atm that iâm very excited to share but not completely. i guess i want to do some sort of beta reading process?
like if wattpad had a private account option, i could release content like monthly and a selected amount of people could read it until itâs released to the public or something.
what if i took a pause on the selection series? i thought i had it all planned out but with time and everything, i donât think iâll get it done đ i wonât be deleting the post or anything but itâs something iâll revisit in the future. if it helps, i do have another royal aot story in my drafts and i am actively working on that :)

Today was your first day at the villa. You were very excited because from what you were told, it wouldnât be too stuffy. No ladies in waiting, chefs, none of that. WellâŚMoblit would be there to keep watch but he was tolerable. These next few weeks would be awesome.
âWhat are you most excited for, Y/N?â Moblit asked. His eyes were mainly focused on the road, so you didnât want to give him a big answer. âHmmâŚI guess Iâm excited to do todayâs activities. Seeing what matters to the boys might help with my decision this week.â Today was more about values. Not in the sense of a relationship but for the public good. If you werenât looking for a life partner, you at least had to find someone who would not only bring fame and attention back to Iyoureyne but would have a heart for your people. âIt would have been nice to see you go out in public and do some service work,â Moblit says. He pauses for a moment, âAlthough, itâd be kind of weird to have a group of men that Iyoureyne arenât familiar with at any public event. I can now see why traditions are being pushed aside.â Traditionally, if you were engaged right now, you would be able to perform public duties with your fiancĂŠ. This is something youâll be able to do once the selection is almost or completely over.
Moblit pulled up in front of the villa you were supposed to meet the other nobles in. Their cars were already parked in front of the building- telling you they were already there. For the first time in a while, youâre actually able to help yourself out of a car. Moblit comes around the car to meet you. âReady?â he asks as he fiddles with his keys. âI will be when I know you have the key ready,â you answer. Moblit chuckles at your answer before holding a singular key to your face. You roll your eyes playfully before turning on your foot to approach the door.
Moblit opens the front door of the villa and you walk in after him. The wide entryway was empty (besides the neat decor). âItâs still early, theyâre probably eating breakfast or something,â Moblit says. You nod before following him to where the kitchen would be. Moblitâs assumption was right- the boys were in the kitchen. And they were uncomfortably quiet. Viscount Galliard was seated at the kitchen counter and his cheeks were blown up like a chipmunk. Duke Braun was standing near him, sipping something out of a mug. He was trying to hide a smile. Viscount Springer, seated next to Viscount Galliard, was staring up at Earl Arlert with a conflicted look. Prince Eren and Marquess Kirstein stood behind the earl in the kitchen area. Marquess Kirstein had an unamused face, while Prince Erenâs face was reddening up. Your eyes finally landed on Earl Arlert.
âGood morning, y/n! I made pancakes this morning!â he greets you. You look down at Viscount Springerâs plate and you finally notice the burnt pancakes. You look up at Earl Arlert.
âEarl Arlert, Iâm going to ask you to leave,â you say. Earl Arlert just laughs. âTheyâre not that bad! Try them-â
You look over at Moblit who now knows that youâre being serious. âLord Arlert, pack your stuff and come with me please.â Moblit steps forward, gesturing to Earl Arlert to come along. The Earlâs face reddens. âAre you kidding me? Youâre kicking me out? You have no idea what kind of kind of mistake youâre making!â
You step to the side once he starts making his way out of the kitchen. Earl Arlert doesnât even look you in your eye. Moblit gives you an apologetic look before following after the Earl.
The minute the two are gone, Duke Braun and Prince Eren burst into laughter. Viscount Springer notices your now confused face. âOhâŚArmin was cooking and Reiner and Eren thought it was like the funniest everâŚwhich it was! He thought he was on a kitchen show or something. And he was serious,â he explains. You place your hand on your heart. âSo you havenât had any real food?â You ask. The guys shake their heads no or mutter no. You excuse yourself out of the kitchen to make a phone call to hire catering.
Breakfast lasted until the afternoon. You were all now in the living room to perform the first task.
âItâs nothing intense. I just really want to know what youâre into. Iâm going to be completely honest with you all- the idea of a selection is bizarre to me but as I am constantly being reminded- Iyoureyne needs the reputation. However, I wonât just blindly choose one of you. If I canât love you, I just need to know if I can put the trust of my home in your handsâŚnot that you would have any powerâŚbut if something were to happen to me, you would be in charge. Letâs pray that doesnât happen.â
Duke Braun scoffs at your remark. âYour Grace, you seem to have a lot on your mind. Tell me about your community service work. What communities in Marley have you impacted the most?â You ask him. Viscount Galliard, seating next to Duke Braun, gives him a look, wanting to know the answer as well. Duke Braun looks down for a moment. âTo be honest with you, Your Royal Highness, I havenât done a lot of engagements, at least on my own. If thereâs like a natural disaster or an attack or something, I will make some sort of an appearance and donate money,â he answers. You nod but decide not to respond. Instead, you look over at Viscount Galliard. Without being addressed Viscount Galliard begins to speak, âAs you all know, my brother was unfortunately murdered. In the past, like Duke Braun, I didnât do a lot of engagements. But when, um, Marcel died, I had to take on a lot of his responsibilities. While I was doing that, I tried looking into interests of my own as well as something that would honor Marcel. He did kind of despise having a lot of work to do when we were kids, so we would try and find time to play and be kids. I decided to put together money to build a park in his name. Itâs not the big community service thing youâre probably looking for but itâs something Iâm proud of.â
Your heart ached for him. The first viscountâs death had hurt a lot, especially since his life had ended so early. âThatâs sweet, Viscount Galliard. The park idea was thoughtful of you,â you acknowledge. âPrince Eren? Would you go next, please?â The Prince nods before opening his mouth. âIf I werenât a prince, I would have loved to be a pediatrician. I took a lot of medical classes throughout high school and was lucky enough to do pre-med studies. I managed to put my interests to use when I met Connie. I learned that his whole life has been about helping others. Because of him, Iâve gotten to speak with kids and teens with an interest in the medical field, and Iâve worked with workshops and organizations that benefit kids looking into careers they possibly want to go into. With the help of my own family, however, Iâve gotten the opportunity to visit hospitals and talk to patients but itâs the usual âkiss this babyâ and âwish this person wellâ type of thing. Which isnât bad! Trust me! I just like doing more hands-on type of things you know?â
For a prince, you didnât expect Prince Eren to be that focused on his community. Him going pre-med even though he was very well aware of his fate said a lot. He really did care about the people in his kingdom. âThank you, Prince Eren. Viscount Springer?â
Viscount Springer sits up and clears his throat. âWell, Regako has been through it. And it means a lot to me that we succeed. My title doesnât mean a lot to our Royal Family but itâs still an honor. Itâd be wrong for me to sit around and do nothing. My focus is really just on the kids- they are our future. Whether itâs my family listening to complaints from families or getting people like Eren to come in and visit, itâs all to inspire our kids to be better and do better. I hold quite a few rallies a year and Iâm always looking for schools in Regako to collaborate with. Iâm always donating as well. Also, once a year, my family likes to hold a gala to get a hold of the more privileged. Obviously, theyâre there for appearances, but as long as we get money out of their pockets, it helps.â
What you liked about Connie is that even without a major royal status, he still had a heart. From the way he talked about his work and efforts, you believed that if he had no title at all, Connie would do anything to help his home.
Marquess Kirstein was the only noble left to speak. âWell,â he says before sighing, âI donât do a lot of hands-on stuff like the rest of you. I donât like cameras. I truly donât believe in giving candies for the whole world to see. I donât need anyone to tell me if Iâm a good person or not. I had an interest in the arts growing up- painting, dancing, acting, all that. Being able to learn an artistic thing is a privilege. I had a lot of that and was kind of bummed up when I learned that regular schoolgoers donât receive a lot of money for their performing art programs. Most non-academic focus seems to go to mainstream sports. Competitive dance doesnât even get that much attention. So, I like to send money to schools to fund art programs, and yeah. I get thank you letters sometimes.â
From what you gathered, Jean liked to keep things simple. You saw that the first time you met him, compared to Connie, he didnât make a big deal out of things, and from what you knew, he rarely ever commented on discussion about him.
âThank you, I think this helps me narrow down my decisions. Iâm a little tired and would like to wind down a bit before deciding to send someone home today. If youâd excuse me.â You stand up and the nobles stand up after, bowing to you before watching you leave.
It took you a while to find your room. Due to Earl Arlertâs stupidity, you never really got a tour of the villa and you didnât know where who went where. The minute you managed to settle down, there was a knock at your door. âGive me a minute!â you call out. You rub your eyes out of frustration before walking over to the door. You open and are face to face with Prince Eren. He bows before speaking. âYour Royal Highness, I couldnât help but notice your distantness and wanted to treat you.â
âTell me more. What do you have in mind, Prince Eren?â
âCall me Eren, please, Your Royal Highness. I saw a beauty salon nearby and thought youâd be interested in facials.â
âIâll call you whatever I want, Prince Eren.â
His face completely drops at your answer.
âAndâŚI donât mind going out with you.â
âSo, Prince Eren, tell me about yourself. I already know about one of your interests. Tell me about your family, your childhood, whatever,â you start.
âHmm wellâŚmy childhood was really weird. My dad had another child before I was born, but I was unexpected. When my grandfather was king, my dad fell for someone who my grandfather did not findâŚâperfectâ for our family. A Marleyian woman. My dad, being as stubborn as he is, did not care and continued his relationship with her. My grandfather threatened to cut my father off, so it was the woman or our family. Before my dad could make a decision, his partner found out that she was carrying his child, my older brother, Zeke. My grandfather decided not to cut my father off because it would bring bad press. However, Zeke doesnât have a title or anything- just benefits. My grandfather eventually forced Zekeâs mom and my dad apart and had my dad marry a childhood friend. They werenât successful with having kids at the beginning of the relationship, so my grandpa was on the verge of giving Zeke a title and putting him in the line of succession. But then, my dadâs new wife got pregnant and had meâŚso here I amâŚwith all the responsibility and Paradis in my hand.â
âDo you ever feel like thereâs a reason that all of this happened? Like why you and not Zeke to be responsible for Paradis.â
Prince Eren thinks for a moment. âWellâŚmaybe maturity. Even though heâs older, Zeke is a bit child-like. He can be serious but he doesnât think life should be soâŚstrict, you know? Iâve been told that compared to him, Iâm more cautious and I think before I do anything. But I think Zeke and I are a perfect pair. Heâs shown me how to have fun and be laid back and Iâve shown him how he could contribute to our family. Iâm really happy to have him in my life.â
Ok, so he was clearly family-oriented and cared deeply about others (hence the medical based work heâs into). Would this person be perfect for Iyoureyne? I mean, who wouldnât fall for a family man? And Prince Eren is pretty handsomeâŚyou wouldnât mind getting serious with him.
You had been to plenty of beauty salons but this experience with Prince Eren was much more relaxing. Maybe the extra stress made the facials feel like the best thing on Earth.
You did have a lot of fun with Eren though. When he offered to take you out, you thought he would wait in the lobby. You didnât take him for a spa day and self care type of guy. But if he werenât, how would be so handsome? If you were to choose him, you could imagine him sneaking you away in the middle of events just to make sure youâre alright or something.
But did Iyoureyne need someone who would distract you?
âWoahâŚwhatâs with all the black cars? Is this supposed to happen?â Eren questioned. You donât answer, trying to observe what was going on. In addition to the cars, officers were standing in front of the villa, either holding their weapons or rushing in. Within a few minutes, Reiner is being dragged out. His tousled hair showed that he had tried his best to get away from the officers but clearly he didnât win.
Prince Eren parked in his parking space and by the time you got out of the car, the officers were already on their way out of the villa. âI wondered what happened with ReinerâŚhe made himself seem like someone who isn't involved with a lot,â you wonder. âHe isnât really in the public eye- at least in Paradis,â Eren says back. He quickly escorts you inside.
Once you enter the villa, a hand wrapped around your arm and pulled you to the side. You yelped before snapping your head to see who pulled you. âWhere have you been?â Moblit chided. He had always managed to keep his cool but this time, Moblit looked like he was close to blowing up. He looks over your shoulder and at Prince Eren, who stood awkwardly behind you. âHey, next time you want to take her out, let me know. Do you understand, Prince Eren?â The prince nods before leaving the entryway.
âWhatâs your problem? Whatâs going on?â Considering his anger, something bigger must have happened.
âWhatâs my problem?â Moblit repeated. âYou almost got married to a murderer. Youâre missing while the police were here. I was worried about you. What was I supposed to tell your parents if you got caught up in Duke Braunâs mess? Huh? They would murder me too.â
Moblitâs grip on your arm is even tighter than before. âIâmâŚsorry. Youâre rightâŚI shouldnât have run off like that,â you say quietly. You both stand there for a moment until Moblit realizes that heâs still holding onto your arm. He lets go before muttering âitâs alrightâ. âMoblitâŚwhat do you mean by âmurdererâ? Did ReinerâŚ?â
âHe murdered First Viscount Galliard.â

THE WELCOMING BALL
Recently our very own Princess of Iyoureyne had a welcoming hall in honor of the selection being held for her. The Royal Family has been very quiet about the number of men that were invited. Royal fans have theorized that the men are nobles from Paradis and Marley. Marley is currently one of the biggest âglobal super powersâ with Paradis following right behind. Theyâre exactly what Iyoureyne âneedsââŚwhatever that means.
We wish the best of luck to Princess Y/N. May she marry out of love.
PRINCE EREN A CHEATER?
A source tells us that Crown Princess Mikasa of Hizuru ended her relationship with Prince Eren of Shiganshina over cheating accusations. Itâs believed that heâs slept with other nobles much as Princess Historia of Reiss (crossing our fingers and hoping this isnât true!) and Lady Pieck of Liberio.
This news comes out after speculation that Prince Eren may be at the Iyoureyne Selection.
BROTHERS AT WAR: COULD THE SECOND VISCOUNT OF LIBERIO BE INVOLVED WITH THE DEATH OF HIS BROTHER?
This rumor came up once again when royal fans in Liberio theorized that the Second Viscount of Liberio, Porco Galliard, would be involved in the Iyoureyne Selection.
As we all know, the First Viscount of Liberio had lost his life to an act of violence. The Galliards had never been able to put together the pieces of the crime. The citizens of Liberio started pointing fingers at his younger brother.
Viscount Galliard angrily denied the accusations shortly after they had come out.
an: the first q&a of the series đ if you havenât seen it already, chp 1 is already up. also a reminder that the second poll is up! this will help us decide the course of the story!

âwhat can you offer princess y/n that she doesn't already have?â
prince eren: âhmmâŚwell, i guess i could offer her support? thatâs the whole point of the selection. this is kind of a hard question. itâs something iâd like to revisit after getting to know her.â
marquess kirstein: âiâm not too sure what i could offer y/n. from what i noticed on the first night, she looked like she carried herself very well. the only thing i can do with be besides her.â
earl arlert: âmilitary status of course! i understand that iâm not a prince or anything but it wouldnât hurt to have a small boost of power. i have the connections.â
viscount springer: âIf she hasnât already, I think I could give her a taste into the political world. ďżźOkâŚI wouldnât say political but I do a lot of social justice work and itâs like hands on. I donât really know if the Princess has any experience in that.â
duke braun: âi guess maybe more advantages in trade and economy. after marley had gotten rid of paradis and had destroyed it after they got rid of the founding titan hundreds of years go, we became one of the biggest countries in the world. I think a good economic status is beneficial to anyone.â
viscount galliard: âMarley is well known for its economic status. Iyoureyne could not gain economic stability but more military power from that as well.â
âWhat is your first impression of y/n?â
prince eren: âbusyâ
marquess kirstein: âshe looks like sheâs under a lot of stress but managingâ
earl arlert: âbeautiful.â
viscount springer: âover thinker.â
duke braun: âthe peopleâs princess.â
viscount galliard: âopen.â
âHow many horses does Jean have?â
marquess kirstein: âa very interesting question. i have quite a few. like five. my family isnât too big but it isnât too small. we had enough horses for our leisure activities and for sports.â
âHow did Bert and Reiner meet?â
duke braun: âwell, bertholdt and i were in the same military program when we were children- the warrior program. itâs like the jrotc program but itâs marley-fied. i didnât get a long with a lot of people at school but bertholdt was one of my first friends.â
The idea of marrying just for the sake of your kingdom seemed noble but so stressful at the same time. Your parents didnât like the idea of the kingdomâs popularity going down and you completely understood why. Although the royal family of Iyoureyne was no longer in political power, they brought in the money via tourism. But with other kingdoms like Paradis and Marley taking all the attention, Iyoureyne was slowly being pushed to the side.
So, your parentâs great idea was to hold a selection. They would send you to a villa with eight different nobles that would fight for your heart. The attention from the press, the idea of an upcoming royal wedding, and a possible alliance would definitely bring Iyoureyne to the top.
âTruthfully, how do you feel about this?â
âI know it does good for Iyoureyne-.â
âHow do you feel?â
You sat in front of your vanity, looking for the answer. âIâm nervous, Moblit. What if theyâre greedy and untrustworthy? Most of these men are from Marley and Paradis- bigger kingdoms. Who knows what theyâre up to?â
Moblit places a hand on your shoulder. âI understand. I trust youâll make the right choice and if something is found out about one of the men, it will be out to the public and Iyoureyne will definitely get the publicity it needs.â
Sir Moblitâs, your guard, words made you feel a little bit more comfortable. Regardless of the outcome, your task would be completed.
You were slowly filtering yourself from the couples when someone tapped your shoulder. You turn around and are face to face with a man with his hair pushed back. He had a dress coat on (like every other male at the venue) that was decorated with medals. âYour Royal Highness, may I have this dance?â he bows slightly as he asks. You take a moment to prepare your answer.
âYes.â
You could either dance or look like a fool alone. The mystery man grinned at your answer and led you to the dance floor. A waltz began to play and the couples began to move. As you danced with your partner, you found it easier each moment to make eye contact with him. âI donât know if this is appropriate to say at the moment but, Iâm Porco Galliard...the viscount from Liberio. Iâm here for the selection.â
Ah. Viscount Galliard. Porco was the second Viscount of Liberio. You had learned that his brother, Marcel was the first viscount. Unfortunately, he had passed away due to an act of violence. Porco, in the middle of mourning, was immediately made the next viscount.
âWell, lucky you. Youâre the first selected that Iâve met with. Itâs really nice to meet you,â you reply. Porco raises his eyebrows. âIâm honored. Are you aware of any of the selected?â he asks. âWhy? So you can know your competition and make some sort of plan to get rid of them?â You joke. âSomewhat,â Porco replies with the same joking manner. You pause the conversation so that Porco can twirl you briefly. âNo, Iâm not aware of the selected,â you answer once you were back together. Before Porco can continue your conversation, youâre interrupted by another noble.
âViscount Galliard, you donât mind if I steal the princess away from you, do you?â
The Earl of Shiganshina or simply Armin Arlert. He comes from a family of military heroes. He happens to be one in the making.
You give Porco an apologetic look. âI should probably continue chatting with my guest. It was really nice talking with you, Viscount Galliard. Iâll see you at the villa, possibly.â Porco bows to you again before leaving you and Armin. âIâm sure youâre tired from all that dancing. Let me treat you, Princess.â Arminâs greeting was completely informal. He didnât bow and didnât refer to you by your styling. You didnât mind but he had to show a little respect. It was protocol. Dismissing protocol was disrespectful. You nod instead of giving him a verbal answer. He doesnât even offer you his hand as he leaves the dancefloor. Maybe he wasnât comfortable? You hoped that was the case. Some servers stood on the side, admiring the dancers with their beverages and snacks on standby. One of them snapped out of their gaze once they noticed you approaching. âApple cider, Your Royal Highness?â You take a glass before giving the server a small thank you. Earl Arlert admires you as you take a sip from your glass.
âYour Royal Highness?â Another voice approaches you. This time the person bows. âIâm Eren, the prince of Shiganshina, one of the selected. But you can call me Eren Yeager if it makes you more comfortable.â
Wow, what a charmer.
âOh, shoot, I forgot to introduce myself as a selected as well. My apologies, Princess Y/N,â Armin interrupts. There are several things youâve forgotten, you pointed out to yourself. âArmin, I didnât know you were participating in this as well.â Eren looked over at Armin, with a somewhat surprised expression. âI didnât know you were participating as well. Whatever helps IyoureyneâsâŚâ Armin pauses and looks you over for a moment, âimage.â Eren gives him a blank look. âWhat does that mean?â You place your empty glass on the tray of the server that you got it from. âExcuse me, Prince Eren and Earl Arlert, I do have other people to meet. I will see you at the villaâŚpossibly.â Unable to give Armin the stage he clearly needed, you walked off.
What was it with Armin? Was the military status? Is he trying to impress someone? How dare he talk-
âOof-â
âOh-! I am so sorry!â
âI swear Jean, you have two left feet. You just bumped into the Princess. THEE PRINCESS.â
You had bumped into a pretty big man. Cute, too. âI apologize tooâŚI wasnât watching where I was going. Iâm really sorry,â you spluttered. When your brain began to calm down from the embarrassment, you finally took in the details of the two new people you had just met. The guy you had bumped into had an ash brown mullet and what you thought was a goatee. The second guy was short and had grey shaved hair. From what you could pick up on, the taller guyâs name was Jean. âNo need to apologize, Your Royal Highness. I was distracted as well,â Jean replied sheepishly. âThis foolâŚMy nameâs Connie Springer but I GUESS we have to be formal in this setting. Iâm the Viscount of Regako. And this big awkward tree-â
âDonât call me that.â
âYouâre right. Heâs not as awkward as he portrays himself to be. Jean is such a people person. The number of girls AND guys heâs gotten with is-â
âIâm the Marquess of Trost. Itâs nice to finally meet you, Your Royal Highness. Connie and I are here for the selection.â
That was a lot to take in.
âSo, are you two voluntarily here, or are you being forced to show up?â You ask, thinking about Arminâs comment. The two look at each other before answering. âI got an invitation and decided to come just to get a taste of the higher life,â Connie answers.
The Viscount of Regako had his title passed down from generation to generation. Although they hold no importance to the main royal family of Paradis (Erenâs family), the Springer donât hesitate to use their title for good.
âI was kind of forced to come. I wasnât going to, but after a lot of pestering, I decided to show up. Iâm really hoping to have a good time and learn something though,â Jean added.
The Marquess of Trost did have a little controversy around his name but no one really knows since he doesnât talk to the public.
âThank you for being honest with me.â You give the guys a small smile. âI have to find the rest of the guys but I do hope to see you two at the villa. Do enjoy yourself.â
As the night went on, you managed to bump into two more of the guys you were supposed to meet.
The Duke of Liberio, Reiner Bruan, and his friend Sir Bertholdt had come together. You had learned from Reiner that the two were very good friends growing up. Everything you had learned about BertholdtâŚcame from Reiner.
You had one more guy left but everyone else that you had come across was not a part of the selection. You had learned before the ending of the ball, your last selected, Prince Onyankopon of Teye, had to pull out at the last minute due to a political emergency- he would be eliminated from the selection immediately.
The night finally came to an end. You were extremely exhausted yet excited to go to the villa the next morning.
You had decided to eliminate Bertholdt due to his lack of communication. Yeah, Armin was somethingâŚbut at least you knew the guy.
Hopefully, Bertholdt didnât feel too bad. You couldnât feel bad either because there were six more men to focus on.
kinda questioning about bertholdt got the most votes đ i thought yâall loved him in the bachelorette. clearly weâre not over what onyankopon didđ
hereâs the next poll!
the next post will be a q&a post to help you get to know the remaining guys :)
