At Liberty and Order (Levi x reader)

Chapter 18: Return

"I won't be repeating myself for the third time. Let me in." You uttered every word with authority as you were blocked by a Military officer on the entrance of Stohess district. The two men wouldn't budge and Mike was now unconscious as you got him off of your horse. You unsheathed your blades and pointed them at the officer who was getting on your nerves, not bothered that the two men in front of you were agitated as well. 

"My comrade is dying. Let me in." 

"W-we haven't received orders to let people in! You suicidal runts are trained to die for the-." You directed your murderous gaze at the one who spoke which made him shut his lips together. 

"Wall rose has been breached and a few hours from now, titans would be roaming this district if I don't reach my superior and request for backup. Let me in, or would you rather suffer the consequences of your ignorance?" 

"What makes you think that we'll believe your lies?" 

"And why the hell would my comrade have a titan bite mark on his leg?" You showed them Mike's terrible injury. "Did lounging around and drinking all day make your brain shrink to the size of a walnut?" 

The three of them were hesitant but you could see the fear on one of their faces as he was staring at you with widened eyes. "Fine then, you'll have to take responsibility for Captain Mike Zacharias's condition and for the delay on relaying valuable information to the commander. You'll also have to report to the higher ups that you just disregarded a request from Peter Beaumont's niece. I suppose it is equivalent to denying the Marquess's request as well." You gave them an empty smile as you decided to reveal your "origin" for the sake of Mike's condition. 

To the public, you were seen as the daughter of Arne Beaumont whom Peter Beaumont (your real father) took in as a request for Arne's dying wish. It was a good cover up but only a few people from your household were aware that you were really the Marquess's illegitimate daughter.  

Both Military officers stared at each other with shock as they directed their gaze at your face. Of course, the color of your eyes would never lie. You were the embodiment of a Beaumont as his stare was reflected by your cold and authoritative hues. 

As both MPs were still in shock, you checked Mike's pulse and although there was a beat, his breathing was ragged and you had no idea how long he would last. You were not the kind to use the "niece of a Beaumont" card but you were running out of choices. Maiming the soldiers aren't an option since it could backfire the scouts, and your reputation as well. As the other soldier opened the gates and permitted your entry with no more hesitance, the other was not that convinced at all. 

"Hey, h-hold o-"

"Idiot, let her in." 

"But-"

"Shut the fuck up and let her in."

"What the hell changed your mind? The bitch is clearly lyi-"
