3rd person POV

The day had come, despite the corporals dreads and unanswered questions- it came. The Fritz Chapel was as beautiful as it was terrifying. Only a priest, the bride and groom, and the two royal children, along with a select few scouts were present. Nana had done extensive work to keep the wedding to be an extremely private and secure affair. Truly, she wanted to separate the experience from inheriting her fated Titan, but time was decaying faster than her father.

Her wedding gown was simple, handmade by Alex. The empire waist did well in hiding what remained of her baby bump. It's not like women bounce back so quickly. Her amber hair was simple too, a braided bun secured with yellow ribbon. Baby hairs framed her face like a perfect picture. Nana walked nervously down the aisle. There was no music, just the muted click of her tiny heels against the velvet carpet rolled down to the alter. There were no decorations either, just a few guest dressed in casual clothes. Armin, Mikasa, Eren, Jean, Connie, and Hanna sat in the front row. Sasha sat with Henry in her arms, suggesting that she could keep an eye on the infant so the soon to be weds could enjoy their wedding.

Eren in particular looked bored, not that he actually was. He just knew what was going to happen. Nana finally reached the altar, Levi taking her gloved hands in his own. The priest rambled on, something about happiness and everlasting love. If everlasting was equivalent to 13 years it would make more sense. "You may now kiss the bride!"

They looked at each other, both embarrassed. It was odd to have your first kiss as a couple be on your wedding day. Levi caressed his bride's rosy cheek, planting a modest kiss right on her lips. It was quick and unmagical. "May I present Mister and Misses Ackerman!"

The couple faced the tiny crowd. All their friends cheered. This is what made their wedding worth it. Levi wasn't one to smile, but he did. Having support touched his heart. Nana didn't smile, but she pretended too. The events that would change her life wasn't her wedding, and that pissed her off.

Not even moments later, the interior government flooded in. Nana gripped Levi's hand but ultimately had to let go. She was whisked away. Seconds later, save for the groom and wedding guests- all was empty. She told him not to worry, but Levi couldn't help it. This wasn't some random girl- this was Nana. His literal wife.

The chapel door slammed open, "AM i LATE?!"

Hanji rushed in, seeing that everyone was quiet. Levi nearly had tears in his eyes. The crazed scientist didn't entirely understand as no one told her what was going on. "Ooooo I'm super early! Hurry! Where can I sit!!"

Levi walked down, placing his hand on Hanji's shoulder. "You missed the ceremony. It's alright, you didn't miss much."

"Well where's Nana?" She innocently asked.

As if on que, a bloodcurdling scream that defied gravity cracked a window. Nana. Something had gone wrong. No hesitation, Eren stood up. "Hanna, it's time." The blonde princess moved from Jean's side. She hated to reveal something so bizarre so suddenly. "Forgive me..." she mumbled, allowing her arm to be sliced via knife tucked within her sock. Lightning struck. The 9 year old transformed into a Titan, snatching Henry away. She had transformed and took him so fast no one even saw what her Titan form looked like.

In the chaos Levi had ditched everyone and ran to the underground portion of the chapel. Nothing made sense anymore. His feet carried him quickly, escalating down the steep stairs in record time. It was probably stupid to enter such territory without his 3dmg, but what else could the married man do? Nana was clearly in danger that she didn't agree too.

He rushed in, out of breath. The icy interior was cold and heartless. His gray eyes scanned for Nana, finding her thrown against the wall. Blood leaked from her head, a knife planted deep within her abdomen. Her eyes were still open. Shock overtook her core. Her arms were now gloveless, hair fallen against the floor.

"WHO DID THIS?" He screamed out as he kneeled by her body, ready to murder on site.

A man stepped forward. He wore religious robes and expensive jewelry. His black hair had clearly been dyed to hide the grey. "Understand that the Monarch Titan is not easy to inherit, this is apart of the process. Our Queen must die so that Our Founder may bestow the gift within paths."

"Did she suffer?" Levi didn't understand why, but he did know that whatever power she receives will revive her.

The man closed his eyes. "She is the first in history to refuse suicide, so we had to assist her. I must say: her will go stay alive is strong. My colleague had to stab her even after bashing her head in the wall. She only passed seconds before you arrived."

"So the Titan serum...had already been administered?" Levi pestered, holding her bloody hand tightly.

"That is the next step." The religious man kneeled down, holding the serum in a syringe. He punctured her heart with the needle, injecting it slowly. The serum entered her blood flow, spreading all around. "Move back, lad."

Levi let her go, following the simple order. They all waited a minute. Sparks emitted from her body, then the pure Titan form of Nana was created from thin air. It screeched, following its instincts to eat her father. King Fritz was chained, ready to die.

"Burn brightly, my sweet flame. I love you." His last words were to his daughter.  Nana's Pure Titan devoured King Fritz whole. A second transformation took place.

The timer set motion as another round of lightning took place within the icy cavern walls. Levi looked Nana's new Titan form with curiosity. His initial thought was that it was beautiful. White hair, purple eyes, actual skin. It was basically just a giant naked lady.

"The Monarch Titan continues!" A few government officials were joyed to see another successful successor. Rather than showing it off it's new form, Nana's Titan crawled down and curled into a ball on the floor. Eyes closed, a tear slipped. Titans could cry?

From the stairway, Eren Jaeger stood. Now that Nana had her ancestors memory's, she would change. She wasn't free anymore, and had become a slave to pursuing the ideology of her family. Eren could hopefully break that curse.

Levi noticed that Nana wasn't coming out from behind the nape. It was instinct that she knew how, but why hadn't she returned?
