The Vigilant Prince

Metanoia II

Same time

Metanoia II

   Armin hissed and look at the wound he got when he fought those stupid guards who found out that he help Annie escape from the dungeon , he had to kill them so she can go and leave. The fisherman he  hired was terrified but he threaten the man to shut his mouth or he won't like what will happen to him. Annie was very worried of him that time, begging not to leave him behind but he gave her a reassuring smile that doesn't assure her anyway. He told the fisherman  to leave despite Annie's hopeless protests.

As he fought the two guards he got a big wound in return , it was worth it though, he is able to get her out of this messed up place.
The prison guards was not feeding her too and it's highly annoying for him, he wants to remove their stupid non-existent neck. Armin lay awake on his futon, he is thinking of that person who muttered 'Water.'

He didn't pay close attention to it but it seems like the person is old
based on it's wrinkly hands , he didn't know if the person is a man or a woman. He wanted to go back there again but the people would be suspicious of him, not that they weren't in the first place. The first time that they learned that Annie had escaped , the Prince immediately look for him at the whole palace and did not stop interrogating him, Armin denied it at all costs.

"Have you found her?" He ask once he get out , acting not suspiciouns at all, Porco hissed at him.

"It's alright if we don't find her, we have other plans anyway. King Grisha would approve of this."  Porco smirk and it made him curious so he ask.

"What plan?"

"It's none of your business, coconut." Porco left with the guards trailing behind him, Armin look around the palace. He hasn't even started doing his plan, there is no progress in here.
Armin shakes his head and went back  inside his chamber , he sat down on the table and started writing a letter that he will give to Eren using his messenger bird he bought while he is roaming around Shiganshina.

Dear, Eren

         I'm sorry for my sudden decision but I have a good reason for doing it, maybe you will not find it good. I was pressured, I was torn appart saving her by initially betraying you or to save you but let her get killed. I have no other choice but since I'm here, as a compensation, I will be your eyes and ears. I will find out about your mother and if you want me to kill the Queen then I will.

 
                             Sincerely yours;
                                  Armin Arlert

He tied it to the foot of his homing pigeon, he opened the window and let it soar to the sky, flapping it's beautiful wings. As the messenger bird moves away, Armin look at it for a few minutes , watching, before deciding to leave his room just to see what's happening right now.
They were still chaotic, it is obvious doe to the constant footsteps outside his sliding door.

Armin sigh and found the courage to go out, a while ago, they were almost caught by the guards that chased him for making Annie escape  the dungeon, with no choice left but to kill, he did and bury their body somewhere.  Somewhere that they will have a hard time to find out. His wounds still hurts but he is able to get medical supplies and began cleaning and healing himself.

"Master Armin?" He heard a knock on his door, a servant gave him food. " They told me to bring your food. Master Porco is busy and he can't see you right now."

" What is happening?"  Although, he knows exactly what is happening. Ha have to play it like a dumb man so people won't suspect him.

After all, nobody suspects a fool  so he had to act foolish in order to achieve his goal. His first goal had already been achieve , the second and last goal aren't achieve yet. Would he get it before his hair turned grey? Would he even have a wife to share his bed with and spies up his nights? He wasn't just a right hand man, he is also a man with dreams and desires. He want to know who is the one that destroy their dukedome, a few people knows that he is the Grandson of Lord Armin Arlert III.
