A Land Of Monsters And Men

Levi and Zeke

"We are supposed to take you in for kidnapping so for now just come with us peacefully." Erwins soldiers surrounded Kenny.

"Now that's no way to treat the Queen's hand."

Erwin raised his hand for his men to lower their weapons. "Did she assign you as her hand?"

"She sure did. I've been the one following her through her plans."

His glaring eye was sharp; there was a stand off between Erwin and Kenny.

"Tell me, what you are supposed to do with two royalties. With Rod's daughter to be the rightful Queen of the walls what plans are being worked on?

Surely, there will be a disagreement on keeping Y/n as Queen. As well, there can also be the act of betrayal from those who are loyal to crown but not the withholder of it"

Kenny glanced from beneath his hat.

"Are you suggesting that we allow you to kill Historia?" Erwin asked, knowing what Kenny's motives are. This was to convince them on not chaining him by changing the subject.

Even so, it caught Erwins attention to know what Kennys intentions are.

"Now, those were words coming from your mouth not mine."

"Is your allegiance only for the crown or for Y/n?" Erwin asked.

"Using my own words against me? I've played this gamer longer than you.

My allegiance is that of my own. But I don't believe Y/N should not be given the chance to be ruler. She's proven herself this far to be a ruler and a Warrior.

When we ran into the Ape Titan it tried to convince her to go with them. That he was the one who had summoned her back in time to marry him. She did not hesitate to deny his offering.

These walls need her. They need a ruler. "

Erwin stood silently before speaking.

"You spoke about Y/n running into the armored Titan. Are they currently inside these walls?"

Kennys eyes shined to him.

"It'll take her time to heal from her injuries."

You were laying on your back while a physician examined you. Since not many would dare to travel beyond the walls this physician was kind enough to examine you.

"Thank you." Levi says softly, seeing how you held a saddened expression as if you were not at peace.

The memory of your Titan standing before him gazing below to him still haunts him. It plays in repeat. To see something that held Emerald eyes that brought the meaning of fear in his bones. It was like looking through a portal that reflected him.

Knowing that his lover can just take his life away, you held that power while he felt powerless.

Shutting his eyes he covered his face with his hand to shake that monster away. "That's not her." He refused to believe that you are what your Titan represents. You were kind, sweet, heartwarming, always attempting to make him laugh with the dumb jokes you would make.

They were enough for him to smile.

"Are you Captain Levi?"

The physician's glasses reflect Levi as he sits up straight. "Yes." He says straight forward.

"I've heard many things about you. "

The horses start to move as they leave to go to the wall.

"Great things... humanity is lucky to have someone strong like you on their side. "

Levi, reached over to brush a strand of hair away from your cheek.

"She'll be fine." He assures him.

"I know she will be."

"Do you care for her?"

..."She's a Queen."...

"You can still hold some type of feelings for her. It's like her people will love her and hate her. Many may even admire her."

"They are not soldiers."

"Behind your uniform is a man. Behind that man is a heart. Our uniform's do not define who we are, it shouldn't change who we really are. Yes, we can play the role of a soldier or a leader but we are still the same."

"This is me."

"Then what will this "me" do when she is to be crowned?"

"I will continue to serve in the Surveys Corpse."

The physician's glasses reflect light to shadow his eyes.

"Does she know about you, you know."

His voice was light hearted as he attempted to start a conversation.

"Does this conversation matter?" Levi asks snapping annoyedly, observing something he didn't like.

"It's a while back to the wall so I'm just trying to start up a conversation. You show that you care for her deeply and so I'm just curious as to how these relationships start and where they end. Since she is to be a Queen; she has to marry someone.

She'll have to oblige by her duties as Queen. Her status as a lady and a Queen can be taken advantage of as she can marry someone for the peace of her people."

"She can do as she pleases. If she is to decide who she will be with I doubt that she would even sleep in the same bed as them. She's more complicated than that."

"Or at least that's how you see her as."

"Did you ever imagine her to become queen?"

"I would push the idea to her, yes."

"But during those times your feelings weren't as this strong were they?"

"No, It was more to protect her. In fact it was to create boundaries between us. Not only would she be safe but.."

"I see. You wanted her to become Queen because you believed you would stop loving her. Her as a Queen whose life remains in the walls confined by the hell of the outside world. While you as a soldier risking his life day and night to ever so rarely see or be with her. You were forcing yourself away from her.

If I may ask, why did you want it to be that way?"

"I think you talk too much... if you don't shut up I'm going to force my foot in your mouth."

"Oh?" The physician scratched the back of his head laughing nervously.

"Quite harsh, but I understand I hit a nerve."

"There's no reason for you to document my life. Why so interested?"

The physician's glasses kept a glare as Levi stared him off.

"What's your name?" Levi asked as the physician lowered his head to clear the glare of his glasses.
