"If that means I can do business in wall Maria again...I'll do anything! I'll even play along with this stupid act." Dimo said. He's crouching in front of Eren who's tied around a wood. Dimo made a small wound on Eren's face.

Eren hissed in pain. "Argh?! What are you doing?!" Eren asked.

"You were supposed to be held here for two days. It'll seem strange if your totally clean." Dimo said.

"Hey, pops."

Dimo rubbed Eren's shoulder then side-eyed his son, Flegel.

"Why do we have to listen to that midget? He's a punk! What kind of person would rough up a little girl like her?" Flegel said and looked at Krista who's sitting on a chair while her hands and legs are tied.

"What was the guy's name? Levi...if he'd gone on for a second longer..." Flegel started punching the air.

"I'd have torn torn him into one!" Flegel said.

"Listen, Flegel." Dimo spoke.

"I hope you understand one day...merchants are able to read people. That awkward yet kind man...is being true to his words. When he says he'll protect us and the barely-alive district of Trost, even though he doesn't really have to. A man like that must have come from absolutely nothing." Dimo said.

The old man looked at Historia. "So missy...excuse me, your highness...." Historia looked at Dimo. "I know your boss is a scary man...but...he's not a bad guy." Dimo said. Then he flashed Historia a smirked. "Once you become queen, smack him and tell him this, "I dare you to hit me back"." Dimo said.

"Hah! I like that!" Eren said with a smile. He looked at Historia. "You should do that, Historia! How do you think he'll react?" Eren asked.

Historia didn't answer. She just looked down and think if she really should do it. "But y'know his sister is a kind woman. But she's weird, too. Just like that midget." Flegel said.

Dimo smacked Flegel's head. "You cannot call Lord Ulrich's daughter "weird". That lady should be respected like how her father's respected. Lord Luciano Ulrich have done a lot for our company and his heir will be captain Luciana. So we have to respect her, too." Dimo said.

"Yeah yeah..." Flegel said and started to walk out.

"Where are you going, Flegel?" Dimo asked.

"Taking a walk." Flegel said then left.

Dimo looked at Eren. "Oh. Can't forget." He said and took out something from his pocket.

"The items you ordered." Dimo said and showed Eren a lot of small pieces of blades on top of his palm.

"They need to be this size if you're hiding them. Both hands...both feet...and under the tongue. When they said to capture you, they said not to cut you in any way. How ridiculous is thatt?!" Dimo said while putting blades in Eren's hands, feet and under his tongue. Then he went to Historia.

And started putting blades on her hands, feet and under her tongue.

"You too, missy. Don't let them find it. If it comes down to it, someone needs to hurt Eren. It can be anyone. If the plan goes south...or if we get to lord Reiss...and we need to get the situation under control." Dimo said.

"Boss! The MPS are here."

Dimo looked at one of his men who arrived ti report. "What?" He said in confusion. "They're a lot earlier than they said they'd be." Dimo said.

He put a gag around Eren's mouth. "It's a good thing we got ready early,  you brats. Remember, we hate each other from here." Dimo said.

"Mmh!" Eren hummed and hod.
