The Vigilant Prince

Mysterious King

Mysterious King

"Yeah, he's been planning to attack Marley. I'm telling you the truth, oh my great ruler. I'm only speaking the truth." He smirk when he said those words.
" The attack would happen at exactly one month from now at dawn."

" Your such a great man."

" I'm always at your service, my king Grisha." He bow down to the king.

" One thing, did he suspect you?"

"He never did my king, I am just a humble man serving for him under you."

Mikasa was startled when she saw Eren walk out while dragging a man who is currently begging him for mercy. One of his Vassals that had been apparently discovered. Eren is very angry, Mikasa could see that, everyone can. His normal emotionless face, featured an indifferent expression mainly fury as he drag the poor man who is asking for his Mercy. The other Vassals gather around too, placing the map,mop, or binoculars that they are holding to see the commotion. Armin is right beside her.

'Is something wrong?'

'Why is he dragging Simon?'

'Shh..he looks angry.'

'Yeah, as if we can't see that.'

"Armin, why is he dragging that man? He is one of the Vassals here." Armin's features looks confused like he didn't know what's happening either, he look at her and shakes his head.

"I'm not sure either, I'm sure he will tell us anyway." He replied.

" Where are we heading to? " She ask as the two of them look around.

"Swamp, we're heading on the swamp! What is he doing?" Armin panick and look below him. " Crocodiles are mostly found here. Who is the person controlling this?"

" He personally told him to go on the swamp. " One vassals said.

" For what? "

" We don't know. "

The two look at each other with a questioning look, both confused and lost. They both look at Eren, the man looks so emotionless and it bring a sense of terror in their hearts. Mikasa's heart is beating like crazy, lump form on her throat that she swallowed awkwardly.

He is ready to throw the poor man at the swamp.

"Please listen to me sir. I didn't do it, I promise you that I did not, I am your humble servant. " The poor man panicked. " Who ever did that, just framed me up my prince. He wants to put your fury on me. "

" Even if you told me that it's not you, It couldn't be justified. If you betray me, you will face the consequences . Death and death alone. "

Mikasa look shock, no, she shouldn't be shock in the first place right? He shoot her father right infront of her and threaten her country. So what is shocking about this and then she look down, there are crocodiles down the ship. Ready for their dinner. She gulp as her knees weaken, she can't watch this. She put her head on Armin's shoulders.

"Are you ok, Mikasa?"

"Will he throw the man down there?"

"Most likely but I don't know the reason why."

Armin looks worried, his eyes were very tired but he still tried to hold it and support her, watching as Eren threaten the man and as the man beg for his life. The man named Simon look down and his pupils dilated as he saw atleast seven crocodiles waiting for him to fall on his death.

"Trust if for pea brains, fear is the only reliable way." He whispered to himself, his green eyes were very angry and at anytime soon it would not calm down.

"Betraying me is not a good choice and you must know that."
His voice is cold like a cold wind breeze of the winter season as heavy snow fall to the ground.

"Ahh, How could you bite the master that feeds you?"

" It's not me, please believe me my king." Eren give off a tooth grin before slowly removing his hands from the man's collar who screamed at him before he got devoured by the hungry predators. Mikasa couldn't help but to puke as she saw the blood scattered down as the screams began to die down too.

"Listen up," He said with his nightly voice, glaring at all of them. " If you dare betray me, you will have the same fate as him. He told the king about our next attack we must plan it all out again or this wouldn't end well. You must only choose between two things to die on the enemies hands or to die in my hands."

" Miss Mikasa, are you alright?" It was like a whisper from the loud child.

Silence filled the area as Eren left them all, others look traumatized, especially Gabi who is only a twelve years old kid working here. Mikasa hug the child who is shaking as she muttered things about how much she hated Eren Yeager.

She wouldn't be able to sleep for days because if this and she doesn't think she'll be able to forget it too.

Armin look at the two of them with a worried expression .

"Mikasa?"

"So that's it?" She click her tongue and look at him. It was a gruesome death, it's terrible.
" We witness a death scene, he is one of the longest vassal here...."

" It's really terrible when you cannot trust the people closest to you." She added. " and that's why you can't just trust anyone."

Armin agreed with her while looking at the door where Eren enter, a sigh escape his lips. He look at the swamp below him, no traces of body parts could be seen, except for the crimson blood around the area.
