Tera POV

Their reactions were funny when I told them that Eren was actually the oldest. And I don't think they know what a 'True Titan' is. Now how am I going to explain that? What do I just say "Hey remember those True Titans I said something abt when I told you your ages and all that? Well those are titans that royals can give another form." Like no one is going to believe me!

I took a deep breath. It's fine, I just need to calm down. I'll probably just tell them they can 'unlock' a stronger version of their titan. Like me. I have the Memory Titan and the stronger version is called 'Royal Memory'. I don't question the name.

Let's just hope that they learn how to unlock and control their royal form before anyone finds us. And by 'anyone' I mean the Scouts and Marley. Cause if they found out about this then they'll use us and we're not too fond of being used. At least now we have a plan for keeping warm at night and cooking things without getting caught.

"Hey Tera, what are those 'True Titans' you talked about?" Eren asked me, making me jump.

"EREN!! Don't sneak up on me like that!" I scolded him. I made sure they were both listening to me before I started to explain.

"Wait, so we're descendants of Founder Ymir? Therefore we're royals?" Zeke asked.

"Yup." I answered.

"But I thought the Reiss family was the royal family?" Eren questioned.

"Well yes, 'cause they believe that they can fully control the Founder Titan and that they are descendants of Karl Fritz. They aren't. Karl Fritz told his best friend to pretend to be him so he can go and start a family without anyone knowing. He didn't want his family to grow up with everything handed to them. He wanted us to know how to survive on our own without having things handed to us. We also would have been attacked a lot more if they knew because they'd go after us to get the throne." I explained to them.

"That.........kinda makes sense." Eren said.

"How does it make sense?! We could have been ordering them instead of being their experiments Eren! We could have helped others if they knew!!" Zeke argued.

I sighed. 'I'm the youngest child yet I feel like I'm the middle child. I guess I'll have to find a way to get Zeke to understand. I should stop their fighting too.' I opened my mouth only to hear Eren say something first.

"Yea, maybe we could have helped people!!! Or maybe we could have hurt them!!!! You don't get it if we weren't in hiding then people would be coming after us! And not only that but all those friends you've ever had, they would have probably used you for fame or money! You need to understand that we can help people now, we could make sure the titans didn't eat them. We could save any experiment they still have. There's a lot of things we could do. We just need to pick the first one and make a plan. After we learn our titan though because who knows, we might need it." Eren yelled at Zeke, sounding like he's been a big brother his whole life and didn't just find out today.

"Fine.............................................big bro." Zeke said with a slight smile.

'OMG he set that up to see if Eren would be a good big brother in the situation. That's so cute but at the same time I want to punch him for making Eren angry because he's kinda scary when he's angry or mad.' I thought to myself, shivering slightly at the thought of Eren's anger being directed at me.

Eren chuckled. "Good then, little bro. So baby sis how about we get to training, hm?"

I smiled and nodded. "Right." I then realized what he called me. "Wait a minute! Why does Zeke get to be called 'little bro' but I'm called 'baby sis'?! That's not fair! I'm not that young."

They laughed at my outburst. "Ok baby sis it is then."

"I just told you I'm not a baby! I'm 15 years old and want to be treated as such!" I yelled at them.

Zeke and Eren just burst out laughing. Zeke even fell to the ground with how hard he was laughing. I stomped my foot then made my way to the makeshift tent Zeke helped me set up before Eren found us.

"Oh come on, Tera! It was a joke!" Eren called after me, he had stopped laughing but I could still hear the amusement in his voice.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day we started training. They were having a bit of difficulty with turning into their royal form for the first time. But a few weeks later they had gotten the hang of it. Zeke's royal form looked somewhat the same as his normal Beast Titan form but he had a prince crown of his head made of hardening, the same type of hardening that the Armored Titan had on his entire body, and his fur was covered in it but it was clear. You couldn't see the hardening on Zeke's fur like you could on the Armored Titan, it was like it wasn't there. Eren's royal form was a little taller than his normal titan form and he had a king crown made of hardening. And while testing to see what they could do in this form we found that Eren's whole body was covered by the hardening only it wasn't like the Armored Titans. It was like he was wearing an invisible skin tight suit only he could move freely in it and it covered his face as well. Once they'd gotten the hang of getting in their royal forms and controlling them using the power outside of their titans was fairly easy. Zeke could still turn people into titans like he could before outside of his titan form but could also throw things just as far. Eren still had his hardening skin outside of his titan and he could still control titans as he could before he'd just honed his power.
