Enemy Kingdoms (Colt Grice x Reader) (Attack on Titan)

(Chapter 7) - War has Begun

Chapter 7:

"I haven't seen you in a while," Eren said, sitting on his bench as usual.

"I had something to do this morning. I just talked to Zeke," you replied.

We have to go somewhere. (Y/N) Like I mentioned earlier, you and I have to meet with Riener. I'll tell Falco. You should start heading there, and be cautious for fucksake. "

You looked down at the clean white dress you were now wearing, and had been since you got back to the hospital.

Alright, that was all you said. (


You had made your way to a room a little above where the ceremony would take place.

This ceremony was given by Willy Tybur, a very valued Marleyan man. His speech was going to mean a declaration of war against Paradis.

The entire reason you and Eren traveled to Marley was to stop Willy and take your first position in the war.

Those letters Falco sent to Eren's family were to the scouts, who had already planned a gruesome attack.

Your titan would be used tonight, along with Eren's and the current Colossal Titan. This was going to be the wake up call for everyone alive at the moment, and this baby, if anything goes wrong, will be the person to stop this war.

All you could say was, "shit is about to go down

."

Hours passed, and Eren had finally arrived at the place with Falco.

"Hey, Pat! Your bump has gotten bigger. ""

You smiled and sat down on the chair, "yes! It's got..."

Falco asked, "Why don't you go and get Reiner, and tell him what I told you. I'm an old friend! Remember! "

"Yeah, Mr. Kruger!"

Falco scurried out the door.

Stupid boy, how in the world could he call for this all? All these lies, "mumbled Eren quietly.

"Eren, are you sure this plan will work? Reiners is a very strong military leader at the moment. "

"Reiner is just as ignorant as Falco. We'll be fine."

Outside, the ceremony had been successfully built, and now the people were waiting for Tybur.

You saw outside, Falco reached out. A tall, blonde man.

"Is that Reiner?" You asked, looking at Eren.

"Yes," Eren mumbled.

(

"Right in here," you heard outside, said by a little boy.

"Okay," a man replied.

The door creaked open, revealing Falco.

Here! " I brought him! "Mr. Kruger."

A man walked down from the stairway right outside the door.

In a deep voice, "It's been four years, huh, Reiner," said Eren.

"Eren..." Reiner replied, shocked.

"I.. uh.. aren't you guys supposed to be old friends? "Why is this so tense?" asked Falco, standing against a wall.

He continued, "Pat? What's going on? "

You looked down at the ground and refused to say a word.

"Yeah, we're old friends; there's so much to catch up on," said Eren, with a sinister smile.

"Impossible... Eren..." mumbled Reiner.

The lights are dimming, Tybur's speech is about to commence...

"The buildings above us are all housing. It's behind the stage, but it's full of people waiting to see the curtains rise." "Directly above us," he continued.

Eren, Why are we lying here? There are so many people. Aren't we just going to kill them all?!

"Mr. Kruger, did you hurt your hand?"

You noticed Eren's palm was cut. With this given, at any moment now, he can turn himself into a Titan.

Was I supposed to cut myself? I can always do it, but my lord...

"Yeah, it's just a scratch," said Eren, playing along.

You sat there with your eyes closed, and as quiet as a mouse.

"Riener... sit down," said Eren calmly.

Reiner looked completely petrified.

Who's that woman? "Sitting over there," said Reiner, with eyes wide open looking at you.

"She's for later, focus on me now, Reiner," said Eren.

"I, um, I think I should head down, and I'll take Pat with me."

You looked up, then immediately back down, and you felt a tear running down your face.

Please let Falco leave. I can't do this. This will hurt too badly.

"No, Falco, I think you should listen," mumbled Eren.

Falco, just do as they say, "Reiner said, raising a hand at Falco."

"Okay..." the boy said in horror.

The lights dimmed even more.

The show will begin soon.

The sound of loud trumpets began to play outside...

Falco looked up and outside the window.

The room was completely silent, and you looked up to see where the noise was coming from; it was the stage.

"Eren." How? Why did you two come here? "Calmly said Reiner." For the same

reason you did, don't you get it? The same reason you did. "

Reiner put his hands over his forehead, knowing that this night would become brutal.

Eren continued, "because I had no other choice..."

Light flashes and clapping were taking place now, and you could see a man now over the stage.

"Sounds like it's started," Eren said, "let's take a listen."

From outside, you heard faint words, but still could hear them through.

Outside, Tybur began with, "Let's look through time. Roughly a hundred years ago, the Delian Emoire ruled the world with the Power of the Titans. The Titans have taken enough lives since the rise of founder Ymir to wipe out humanity three times over.Countless cultures and peoples have been wiped out by the Titans, their histories stolen away. "

Eren made eye contact with Reiner and stuck with it.

Tybur continued, "The Eldian Empire's oath of slaughter became humanity's history. And when the Eldian empire grew tired of enemies, they began to slaughter one another. The great Titan war has begun. Families holding those Titan papers waged a bloody war. Using this to his advantage, one Marleyan sought victory. It was the hero, Helos! Thanks to his clever manipulations, the Eldian Empire was tricked into killing each other one by one. By joining hands with the Tybur family, they convinced the unbeatable King Fritz to flee and retreat to the island.

Claps arouse from the crowd.

" However, though he fled to Paradis Island, his power still remained. Tens of millions of Titans await to trample the world.

...."To this day, The only reason we haven't been trampled yet is merely a fluke. To eliminate this threat to our motherland, Marley sent four Titans to the island. But they were beaten back, and only the Armored Titan returned. The darkest blot on humanity's history, the Eldian Empire, is still alive and well.

Finally, Eren finally spoke once more, "You hear that, Riner? Isn't that why you destroyed the wall? You guys were trying to save the world. Weren't you? "

What's going on here? Why is Vice Brain so scared? "asked a fixed Falco."


The speech continued, "Now then, the story I've told thus far is common knowledge." However, the truth is very different. In passing down the War Hammer Titan, the Tybur family has inherited some memories... I will now reveal the truths that we learned over the years.

All four of you looked up puzzled, knowing something was about to change everyone's plans. Some

hundred years ago, it was neither Helos nor the Tyburs who ended the Great Titan War. The one who ended the fight and saved the world was... King Fritz. He anguished over the Eldian Empire's victorious history, was tired from the endless infighting, and above all, he was pained by the endless oppression of Marley. When he ingratiated himself with the founding Titan, he schemed with the Tybur family, and they fabricated a Marleyan hero. His name was Helos. The king moved as many Eldians as he could to the island and closed the gates. He claimed that if they were threatened, thousands of Titans would be released as revenge. However, this was never his intention. King Fritz made a vow renouncing war so his ideology would be inherited. Because of this, Karl Fritz's ideology has been passed down, and the Titans have never left the island to attack. That is, the one thing keeping our world safe is the Vile King of the Walls, Karl Fritz, and his desire for peace. Peace was all he wanted, but if Marley grew stinging and came to take the founding Titan or his own life, he would accept it. He believed the songs of the Eldians were so grave they could never be atoned for. However, until that day of retribution, let me savor a brief paradise, free of conflict within the walls. That is all I ask of you. ' That was his last request. "

The crowd gasped.

He went on, "Yes, in exchange for our safety, the Tybur family joined hands with Karl Fritz and sold out the Eldians to Marley.
We're nothing more than traitors lavishing in ill-gotten honor.The reason that I stand here and willingly take this sham is because I know our world is in great peril. "

Drumming from the stage started to commence.

Tybur concluded, "Using the power of the Founding Titan, Karl Fritz erected three walls. These walls, formed by tens of millions of colossal Titans, have served as a shield and spear safeguarding peace. But recently, an uprising took place on Paradis Island. King Fritz's peace was undermined by a person who stole the founding Titan. Once again, there's a threat to our world—a rebel against peace. His name is Eren Yeager. "

Eren's legs, which were cut off for an act, had started to grow back, twisting and twitching like a reptile that had its leg cut off. This made Falco become frightened, and he backed up against a wall.

You tricked me, and here I respected you two. "My brother loved you, Pat," said a shaking Falco.

You looked up and you began to sob.

"Falco! I 'cut you off...

Eren spoke to you, "I'm sorry." Falco. I needed your help.

Falco gasped in horror, "those letters you had me send! What were they? "

Reiner gasped and looked at him.

"They didn't reach my family, sadly, but they reached my comrades," Eren said, with no emotion in his voice.

Falco began to cry and fell to the floor.

"You're kidding me! Why? " The little boy screamed.

"Y.. your comrades?" said Reiner.

The threat of Paradis Island is the stampede of millions of colossal titans-a rumbling As I mentioned, the cow rejoicing war prevents the King's bloodline from fully using the founding Titan. But, for the time being, this Eren Yeager, who possesses the founding Titan, could start the rumbling at any time.Once the rumbling is set into motion, there is nothing that we can do. Nothing but tremble at the footsteps of doom, fleeing in vain. All lands and civilizations will be trampled and literally razed to the ground.

"That's right. It's like Willy says-I'm the bad guy. I might just destroy the world. But to me, you were the bad guys too. That day, when the wall was destroyed and the Titans invaded my hometown, I watched my mom get eaten. I couldn't understand. Why Reiner? Why was my mom eaten by a titan? Eren said, getting more tense.

"... because on that day we broke the wall," said Reiner, also getting tense.

"Why did you break the wall?"

"To sneak in during the chaos and see how the king would react."

"What was your mission?"

To retake the founding Titan and save the world."

"I see... if it was to save the world, you didn't have much choice."

Reiner bowed his head in shame.

You looked around the room, and found Falco, looking at you. making you look back to the ground.

"Back then, you told me: "I'll make you guys suffer and die in the worst way possible." Isn't that why you came? " Shouted Riener.

Oh, I vaguely remember saying that. Just forget it. True, I saw everyone on the other side of the sea as my enemy. But then, I crossed the sea, spelt under the same roof as them, ate the same food... Reiner, we're the same as you. Sure, they're jerks, but there are also good people. Across the sea, within the walls, it's the same thing. But you guys were taught that everyone inside the walls was a devil. You were children who knew nothing, but it was drilled into you. You were just kids. What could you even do? Right, Riener? Hasn't that been eating away at you?

Reiner clenched his teeth and fell to the ground.

"No! You're wrong, Eren! That day, when Marcel was eaten, Annie and Bertholdt tried to turn back and end the mission. However, II talked them back into it! I wanted to be a hero! I wanted people's respect! It's my fault, "tears fell out of his eyes," and he continued, "Your mom was eaten because of me!"

Willy finally talked again, "I cursed the blood I was born with! More than anyone. I wish the Eldians were wiped out.

" I'm sick of this... of myself! Just kill me! But I don't want to die, and that is because I was born into this world. "

We are people of different races and nations," said Willy. "However, it is time to join as one and face this dreadful enemy! Lend me your strength if you want to live! Those of you who wish for a future! If we work together, we can overcome any obstacle! "

The crowd began to clap.

"Like I thought, I'm the same as you," sighed Eren, and he slowly reached out his hand, "I will keep moving forward."

"I want you to join me in the fight against the devils of Paradis! Here and now, as a representative of the Marleyan government, I proclaim...

"Until I destroy my enemies," Eren said coldly, making you widen your eyes.

It's happening, god damn!

Lighting began to fill the room, coming from Eren's hand, right after Riener decided to shake his hand.

Riener jumped on Falco, and you sat in the corner, covering your head and stomach.

Everything you were able to see was getting destroyed, and everything from the crowds were just screams.

"To the enemy forces of Paradis-a declaration of War!"

Eren's Titan jumped out of the buildings, and your fragile body was getting shredded by shards of glass and stone.

The stage collapsed on the people. And Eren's Titan threw Tybur up and crushed him with his hand.

Eren's roars were loud, and all you could do was cover your ears, as it felt like your life was falling apart.

War has begun... I hope Colt is alright...
