Armin woke up early as usual, but all he could do was worry about his best friend. It confused him as to why Eren had accepted the marriage with the prince after being upset about the possibility before the ball. Now they were tied together. Armin placed on his skirt and shirt wrapping a white apron on his waist and tying a bonnet to his long blonde locks. He went outside with a broom still thinking of Eren. "But Eren paled when the prince called his name. Maybe there's something more to the situation", Armin huffed to himself leaving the broom to feed corn to the chickens.

The animals were suddenly startled by the loud sound of rocks smashing as a llimo stopped in front of Armin's home. Armin blinked as the door was hurriedly opened. A royal attendant? Prince Levi stepped out wearing a long red coat with gold designs and long black boots with black pants. Armin bowed immeadiately. "You're Armin, are you not?" Levi asked emotionless. "Yes. P-Prince L-Levi, welcome your highness!" Armin said trembling. He knew well of the ways of the prince and feared what he would say. "You are to pick up your belongings and come with me", Levi said simply.

Armin was shocked. Was he going to be auctioned? But he had a guardian? Did the crown consider his grandfather too old to care for him? Resigned, Armin nodded. He made no questions or opposed the request as Levi moved back inside the luxurious limo. Armin held back tears hurrying to get his things and wrote a note to his grandfather before getting on as well towards the castle. For some time they rode in silence, Armin looking out the glass window. "I require something of you. It is regarding the crowned Princess Eren. I'm sure you'll gladly approve", Levi said suddenly breaking the silence as Armin nodded silently in confusion.

Eren had finally woken up as his lids fluttered open. He felt extremely drained and tired and had lost all sense of time. He weakly sat up and stepped onto the floor, but one step, and he'd collapsed on the floor. Eren tried to crawl back to the bed just as Peter entered. "You Grace!!!" He yelled helping him to lay back down under the warm covers. "P-Peter, how long have I slept?" Eren asked weary. Peter coughed awkwardly smoothing his dress and muttered a quick "3 days", before setting down the tray he'd been carrying.

Eren's eyes widened fear consuming him. "The lessons!!! I've missed them all!" Eren said panicking. Peter's expression smiled sadly as he decided to get Eren in a wheelchair he'd gotten from the closet. "Your Grace, there's something I must show you before his majesty returns", Peter whispered as Eren remained confused. He was taken down the long hallway and brought to one of the grand windows showing the courtyard and bridge of the second floor. "Up", Peter said pointing towards the bridge. Eren looked up and gasped in shock

On two spears, they were there. The heads of both Catherine and Oluo. "Ahhh...what...happened?" Eren asked in horror. "After you collapsed, Prince Levi was furious to no extent. Once we'd put you in bed, he went on a rampage and ordered their public execution", Peter said beginning to remember the event clearly.

Flashback

"Doctor...what is the diagnosis?" Levi asked arms crossed. "Your highness, I am shocked that he's still alive. His will is surely strong. Any more of the torture he'd been exposed to would have certainly killed him. It is still a doubt whether he'll wake up soon, but make sure that he is well cared for", the doctor sighed bowing and taking an exit. Peter stayed in place and flinched when Levi punched the wall harshly. "Peter, come now!" Levi said angrily rushing out the hall.
