The Marleyan Captain

I

10 Years ago , Marley, 10:55 am

"The Royal Family and the Tybur Family will be here in any second" Commander Magath said in front of the warriors and warrior candidates, "I want all of you to be more professional as possible.." Commander Magath continues. "Same thing with the six of you.." Commander Magath said while looking at the six warrior candidates, the six warrior candidates saluted, shouting "sir yes sir!" as a response to their commander. "Sir, they're here" one of the Marleyan Warriors said, Commander Magath nod and stands in front of the door way to welcome the Royal Family and the Tybur Family, "You're welcome your Majesties.." Commander Magath said as he bows, the warriors and warrior candidates followed his lead, bowing and welcoming the Royal family. "ah~ its nice to be back here, and thank you for the warm welcome Magath" Charlotte Martins The Queen of Marley said, "welcome too, The Tyburs" Commander Magath said, Willy Tybur smiled at the Commander, feeling welcomed. "Don't you miss coming here dear?" The Queen suddenly asked, "yes Grandmother, I do miss it here.." (Y/n) Martins, Princess of Marley said, "why don't you catch up with your friends over there.. we will go back to the palace in an hour so you have time.." Dana Martins, Mother of (Y/n) and The Duchess of Marley said, "ah yes~ your Mother is right, you have time dearest" Arthur Martins, Father of (Y/n), son of The Queen and The Prince of Marley said, I smiled at my Mother and Father, I started walking towards my friends who I have met a two and a half years ago when I was still a warrior candidate. "Good morning Your Highness.." Marcel Galliard, one of the warrior candidate said as he bows, followed by the other five behind him, "don't be too formal with me Marcel.. I had enough formality throughout last year.." I said quite irritated, "well you are the Princess of Marley, you need to be formal at all times" Pieck Finger, one of the warrior candidates said while hiding her giggles, "that's the reason I'm here with the six of you, because I don't want to speak formal with anyone" I said inching my way to the nearest bench I saw, while they follow behind, I sat on the bench, followed by Porco Galliard on my right, Marcel Galliard on my left, currently in between the Galliard brothers who are both warrior candidates, "so how's your trip in Hizuru?" Porco asked, "good.." I said while looking down on my shoes. "well.. that sounds exciting." Annie Leonhart said, I looked up at Annie and gave her a small smile when suddenly I heard a little giggle from Pieck, "that is not exciting at all Annie" Pieck said, "so is being Royal is really not that fun..?" Reiner Braun asked, I looked at him and give him a slight nod and a small smile, "well.. it could be fun from some time because you almost have everything.. but most of the time you would feel lonely because everyone would always be busy and they will only talk to you when needed, its like a rule, if you're Royalty the servants would only talk to you if needed to, like if your hungry or you need to take a bath, you have to tell them so that they can prepare if for you.." I said lowly while looking at each and everyone of them scanning and reading their 'reaction', "no wonder you preferred to be here than in the palace" Porco said, understanding my situation which he always do. "then why did you quit on being a warrior candidate?" Marcel asked, "well.. its not like I have a choice anyways.. I already told you guys that even if I'm a warrior candidate or not I will still inherit the War Hammer because of my Mother who is the half sister of uncle Willy and just like the original plan because i have a Tybur blood in me who is Royalty, once I inherited the War Hammer I will train for a year then once the other titan shifters were decided I will train with them for another year then I'll inherit the founding titan once we found it." I said, explaining myself, "oh right.. oh and also I heard you will inherit the War Hammer in two days.. that means you will inherit the War Hammer on Porco's birthday" Marcel said with excitement in his voice, I slightly smiled at them, nodding, "you have to be in my birthday (Y/n)." Porco said firmly. "of course I'll be there" I said smiling at him.

We continued on talking for about an hour when suddenly we heard someone running, all of us looked at who's running when we realised its my Aunt Lara Tybur, "Aunt Lara.. what's going on?" I asked my Aunt as I stood up from the bench, "(Y/n).. your Father.." Aunt Lara said with complete horror in her eyes. My eyes opened wide, from what I'm seeing in my aunts face and sensing what's probably happening, I started running, not thinking about the stares I was receiving from the people around me, Royalties is not really allowed to run but who cares I needed to know if my senses were right. I reached the gate of the HQ followed by the six warrior candidates and Aunt Lara who also ran following me, I walked closer pass the opened gate when suddenly I froze. I feel so numb. suddenly I found myself on both of my knees on the concrete, I slowly looked down to prevent news casters to see my face, even tho I'm already kneeling on the ground I still need to at least try to not show emotions. "(Y/n).. dear.. please stand up.. there's too many people around us right now.." I heard my Mother whisper those word to me, but I didn't listened. "Porco can you help (Y/n) up and bring her inside her car please, I know that she will only listen to you right now.." I heard my Mother said from behind me, I then suddenly felt an arm around my waist, "(Y/n) let's go.. we need you to go inside your car.. please.." Porco said lightly as he pulls me up gently, I stood up still looking down, Porco then helped me go inside my car, I went inside followed by Porco, he just sat there waiting for me to say something, and waiting for my driver. "I-.. I can't believe two important men in my life left me already.. first is my older brother last year.. and then now my Father?..." I said still looking down while softly sobbing, "I can't believe they.. Both died in a car accident.." I continued. I looked at Porco with tears in my eyes when suddenly he hugged me tightly, Porco has always been there for me, ever since from day one, he always been there for me when I feel bored, stressed, angry, and even when I felt like crying, and when my brother died last year I haven't had the chance to train I can't seem to find the urge to train, my brother would always be here to watch and cheer for me when I was still a candidate, and that's one of the reasons why my Mother, Father and uncle Willy decided to just let me be, I quit being a warrior but still going to inherit the War hammer and the Founding. "don't worry (Y/n) I will not leave you.. I promise.." Porco said sincerely, I locked eyes with him and smiled slightly, "you promised..?" I asked, "yes, maybe there's a reason why they left you this early, so just let yourself mend the pain for now, but also think that they're probably happy up there." Porco said as he let's go of the hug slowly, I nodded at him understanding what he is saying, when suddenly my driver went in the car, I looked behind and saw my GrandMother and Mother went inside their car, each Royal family member has individual cars unless your married. "I will just see you on my birthday then like you promised.." Porco said as he was about to leave the car, "no.. I'll visit HQ tomorrow as well.." I said with a sad tone in my voice, Porco smiled slightly, nodding then wrapping his right hand on the back of my head, pushing my head towards him then he kisses my forehead, he then went out the car, he waved then the car started moving.

8:38 pm, at the Palace, 9 hours after the car accident

I was in my room packing some of my important belongings in my bag, I packed some of my clothes, and other stuff I wanted and needed to bring.

Few minutes ago

I heard a knock on my door, I stood up and opened my door revealing my mother, I opened the door wider to let my Mother go inside my room, I sat down on my bed as my Mother closed my door and locked it, she went towards me and sat on my bed beside me. "what's the matter  Mother?" I asked, "(Y/n).. aren't you curious wether or not the Marleyan's words were true or not about the people in Paradis..?" my Mother asked. I thought about it for a minute before answering her, "I do Mother.." I answered honestly, I'm very curious about a lot of things and the people and Paradis itself makes me curious. "so are you agreeing to just invade the nation with your titan powers without even knowing wether or not those words from Marleyans were true or false?" my Mother asked again, and this time I answered quickly, "no Mother, I never really agreed.." I answered honestly, "why don't we go to Paradis, know the people and the nation while we're there." my Mother said, "we will live normally there, no formalities, no one will know we are Royalties from here, because they don't know anything about us.." my mother said, "what do you mean 'they don't know us' mother?" I asked, "people from Paradis don't know us because of who inherited the founding erased their memories except for the Royalties there, I know some people from Paradis so if ever you agreed on going there with me, we can have a stable life while we're there" Mother said, "your Father also wishes for you to visit or know more things about Paradis before inheriting the War Hammer and kill those people from there" my Mother continued, "I do not wish to kill innocent people if ever those people from Paradis are innocent, from what you have said Mother, it sounds like they are innocent people, not knowing a thing about us is already a proof that people from there is not evil but innocent." I said while thinking of the possibilities that could happen and what I can learn from there. "while we are there, try to figure it out yourself wether or not the Marleyan's words were true or false" my Mother said, as my Mother said those words I then decided to go to Paradis with my Mother, "I agree on going there with you Mother, if that is what you and Father wishes me to do, but Porco is turning 13 the day after tomorrow, can't we just leave after I leave their house?" I asked, "but you will inherit the War Hammer first thing in the morning even before you could go to their house, we can't go to Paradis if you already inherited the War Hammer because they will not let you go further away from here." my Mother said, I looked down knowing that I will be breaking a promise with Porco, "just give him your gift and say goodbye to him tomorrow, say goodbye without him knowing you are saying goodbye" my Mother said, i nodded, "now fix your belongings, things that you needed to bring with you, we will be leaving Marley at 8:00 pm tomorrow." My Mother said, i nodded then she stood up and left my room.
