COURTHOUSE

Silently coming from the back, I made my way to the front and stood beside Levi.

The quiet murmuring of the people within the large room, echoes with stillness lingering. Scowling and distant glances were sent Eren's way, hearing provocative language also quietly being addressed about him. Levi stood beside me, shoulder against shoulder while my eye remains forward. With an expressionless face, no one would know what's running through my mind.

Yet everyone in the room purposely held scowling glances, which they wanted to show their disgust towards Eren.

"Tch, seriously......" muttering to myself, a hand interlaces with me discreetly. He squeezes my hand for a moment, lowering his head with a nonchalant look towards Eren.

His voice deepens, "Erwin will clear things up, he's persuasive enough,"

Reluctantly I nod relaxing my shoulders, still not fully recovered from the attack on Trost. My body was aching, it was just all so sudden. Recollecting my own thoughts, I was just lucky to be alive.

Eren was knelt down with his arms back, with the shackles looped around a large pole in order to prevent further damage. Seeing him like this, tore my heart, wondering what Carla would think of him now?

Levi soon releases his hand from mine, while my eye turns to see Erwin standing tall. His blue clear eyes were brighter, despite how dim the room was.

I knew that look all too well, but then again aren't we all curious.

Soon the sound of the gavel being slammed a few times, gained the attention from everyone on the Premier. "Alright, shall we begin?"

It was rare to see the premier himself, but seeing him taking his coat off and rolling his sleeves, showed how relaxed and composed the old man was. No ounce of worry, but was imperturbable. That being said, I've only met him twice since I joined the scouts. Watching from afar they soon begin questioning Eren, while my eye scans the crowd. Many people were even silently wavering, eyes filled with fear because of what Eren's capabilities are.

They continue the proceeding of the Court, but soon it was coming down to where Eren was confused as much as we all are. My question was how he grasped that kind of power, how he managed to have something and not have known for years. Who knows at this point...

Listening in I didn't realise my jaw was tightening, while my fingers gripped the hem of my sleeve. All of this was sudden, but I couldn't bring myself to protect him till we have custody.

"To begin.....The Military police will now present their case," Zachary announces, shifting the focus on Nile Dawk.

My eye turns to see the Commander of the Military police, "Thank you, my name is Nile Dawk! I am Commander of the Military Police...." He begins, while I all knew too well what the Military police are like. Cowards, each one of them are. ".....Our recommendation, following a thorough examination of his physiology subject Eren Yeager should be disposed of immediately."

Silence soon rests, allowing people to process their opinion of the matter.

"We acknowledge that yeager's abilities played apart in turning back the latest titan incursion.......however..." Eren's eyes worriedly glances Nile's way. ".....as has been stated, his mere existence is creating a swell of rebellious sentiment. For the greater good, after we have gathered all the information that we can from him, we would see him made a fallen warrior of humanity!"

"Unacceptable!!!!" someone objects, seeing a priest speaking up with full bitterness in his tone. He points accusingly towards Eren, "This verminous fiend has defiled the mighty wall......"
