Chapter 32: Freedom

The wind howl as the tree leaves dance and sway with the wind. It was quiet, and the only thing you can hear is the wind and the tall grasses that's sway with the weak current of it.

Staring at the blue sky as you sat on the grassy ground, you took a deep breath, finally after so long you felt...

Peace.

And also freedom, yeah. You can say that again, Eren Jaeger.

"Hey, I've cooked us some breakfast," He said as he kneeled down next to you on your level. With a smile, he stares at your face, seeing how much you enjoy being here.

"I didn't know you could cook," You said as you smugly smirk at him.

"Better than you, though. I'm pretty sure you can't cook since you have all your maids to aid you when you need it," He said as he chuckled, giving you the same smug smirk as he stands up.

He then offered you his hand to help you stand up from your seat. You gladly took it as you genuinely smiled.

"That may be true, but my brother Kaeya taught me how to cook whenever he's at the manor," You replied as you finally stood up, holding his hand.

Tartaglia chuckled as he slightly pinch your cheeks, "Oh, you are so adorable," He said as he gently pulled you towards him and gives a peck on your forehead which made you laugh.

"And you're a dork," You said as you snake your arms around his broad arm.

He nodded, "Yeah, But I'm your handsome dork, so deal with it," He said with a proud smile.

You rolled your eyes as you chuckled, "Yeah, Yeah you're my handsome dork. Come on! I don't want the breakfast that you cooked to get cold!" You said as you pulled him along with you as the two of you run towards the house.

You watch with a smile as Tartaglia played with the children in the near village. He was trying to catch them since they were playing 'Tag'.

He already caught two children as he hold them in both of his arms as he tried to catch the other three, who just squealed and giggle as they run away from the ginger.

"Is that your husband, dear? He seems pretty good with children," The elderly woman spoke beside you as you were caught off guard.

Husband? Hmmm.

"He's- Uh, yeah! He's my husband, and yes he's really good at making children have fun," You replied as you smile at her.

"You're lucky, dear. You found a man that will care for you and your family, such a great man," She said as she started to walk towards Tartaglia and the other children, "Come along now, Children, it's almost lunchtime!" She said, mostly likely shouted to make the children look in her direction.

The children groan as Tartaglia put down the two children he has in both of his arms.

"But we still want to play with Mister Tartaglia!" One child whined.

"You can play with him tomorrow, he and his wife have some other things to do," The elderly woman said.

The children whined once again as they did nothing but obey the elderly woman. Tartaglia walked toward you with a smug look on his face.

"Wife, huh?" He said as he snaked his arms around your neck.

"You don't want to? I could arrange us a wedding and then divorce you right after," You said as you glare at him.

He laughed, "I'm just kidding, love!" He said as he kiss your cheeks, "Though I really want to marry you," He said as he wink at you making you blush.

"Ask me first, I want it to be as cliché as possible," You said as you look away from him.
