The Vigilant Prince

In the End IV

In the End IV

It's not that Mikasa's mother thinks illogically, but it's all because she act logical all the time and given that Eren's track record is not very good. Of course, her mother worries. Her daughter is the Princess of Hiruzu and her safety is greatly prioritized. It's not Eren that she hates, it's the things that he did that she hates, the country has been peaceful for a very long time and he destroyed it. He threatened the royal family, took her daughter and even shoot her husband, it leave him in a severe condition that force her to flee and go to different doctors. It's not him that she hates, it's what he did that she hates. However, whenever she saw his face the months of Misery came back to her and she does not like it. It's one of the darkest moments of her life.

The Empress sighed as she look at her daughter and her lover, the way her daughter act around him is something she couldn't take well so she look away again and shift her attention somewhere else.

"What are you thinking about?" The Emperor ask, half of his body leaned on the door. The Empress look at him and smile.

"Do you need help?" She answered with another question. He can't walk very well even if he got cured. It's a long term thing now, the Emperor shakes his head.

"Don't start a play here,Kiyoko."

"I'm not going to." She replied to him. "I think he's fine but just... Not very deserving for her."

The Emperor said and it made the Empress look up at him with visible shock in her face.
" His history is not very good but even so our daughter loves him, Even I don't entirely agree with her decision but we don't know him and neither do we know what happened between them during those times. Mikasa is old enough now, she's nineteen, on the right age for marriage and seems to be doing fine with him. We have to respect her decision."

The Emperor said to his wife, she look at him and nodded, smiling.

" Alright, it seems like you always have a better judgements than me. " The Queen sighs. "It's fine, I'll hold on to her promise. If he did something wrong, without hesitation, she should judge him fairly and not because he is her lover. Have you seen Hange and Levi?"

"The preparation is almost done." The Emperor informed her, not bothering to answer his wife's question.

"Alright." The Empress nodded her head.

"I'll talk to Kiyomi later since the preparation is almost over. Be careful, you can't stand too much, it would be bad for you. "

The Emperor nodded as he watched his wife leave.

" What happened then? " Mikasa leaned closer towards him, anticipating to hear the next part of the events that took place when she left, it's not enough for her to read it on paper.

"I killed him." She turned her head towards him, there is no glint of happiness nor excitement on her face like a while ago when she was eager to hear what he will say. Her lips is on a thin line, she sigh and close her eyes.

"Does your mother know?"

"She doesn't."

"Do you plan on telling her?"

"Of course not."He replied. She sighs again.

"You have to tell her someday, I think she deserves to know that." She pauses. "Besides, what happened to Marley after you attack? There is a council there, Am I right? What happened to that?"

"I will have a talk with them later." He said and look at her. " I need their approval to Crown me as the King of Marley."

"The king of Marley?" She snorted but didn't say anything afterwards, she lay herself down on his calf and close her eyes. "I don't entirely agree with you but if you think it's for the better of Marley then who am I to stop you, besides the Pirate circle is under Armin's hand. Do you think everything is fine?"
