The Island of Devils

Chapter 29

When Levi and Zeke arrived at the building, it was also the time when the Scouts and the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers arrive.

"Your highness." Levi bowed and said.

"Let's go inside. We have a lot to discuss." Eren said as they all enter the place. Once they entered the place, Sasha went to greet her family, and Eren also got to meet Historia again. Historia gave Eren a kiss, but Eren was also careful not to harm the baby in her stomach.

"I'm so worried about you these days." Historia said.

"I'm sorry, but we have a lot to discuss." Eren said, and he also noticed Falco and Gabi, who flinched after seeing him. Armin asked, "Eren, what are those two doing here?"

"They probably killed the Garrison that was guarding their cells, but they stumbled across our queen and they were taken here." Eren said while turning to Zeke. "Big brother. Captain Levi didn't make you uncomfortable during these days, right?"

"I actually appreciated his hospitality, to be honest." Zeke replied.

"Good, now we have some things to discuss." Eren said while they were gathered around the table with some Scouts standing guard.

"And make sure not to kill our Marley guests." Eren said, and the Scouts nodded. It is then, Gabi slowly muttered, "Are... aren't you going to kill us..."

"We won't kill you." Armin said with a depressed look.

Gabi looked up at him. "But you want to, don't you?"

Eren said, "You two might have snuck onto our plane and were trying to shoot us for what we've done to your homeland, we have to apologize for that. But I'm sure you already heard from the queen about all of us, right?"

Falco said, "She did... I think I could understand what you mean by you and Reiner were the same..."

"Zeke! Why would you betray Marley?" Gabi suddenly yelled. "What makes you side with the Island Devils?"

Zeke sighed and said, "I've lost a lot of family members in my life because of Marley. Deep down inside, I hated Marley all my heart. They claimed that we sinned because of what our ancestors were doing. However, the current Marley is doing the same thing as our ancestors. To me, there is no future for me in Marley."

This caused both Gabi and Falco to be surprised, Eren walked to the table with the Anti-Marleyans and said. "I'm sorry that our Garrison and the Military Police caused you a lot of trouble. In exchange, the lunch here was one me."

"You're too kind, your highness. You've already done so much to us." One of the volunteers said.

"Indeed. It is also thanks to you that our family could stay here on this island." Another one said.

Falco said, "Those guys were Marleyans, right? Why are they also here?"

Jean said, "Like Zeke, there are some Marleyans who like the Island of Devils like us. And instead of trying to fight with each other, they wanted to help us. They are from the conquered nations, and during our spying in Marley, we also managed to bring their families to the island so they would be safe in the walls. After all, if Marley found out that they were working with us, their parents were going to be punished."

Once Nicolo brought the food here, Historia turned to Falco and Gabi, who was still hesitating to eat. "Don't worry, the food here isn't poisoned."

Falco nodded as he started eating, and he said, "This is so good!"

"Nicolo's cooking is the best, after all." Sasha praised, which caused the chef to blush a little.

"Huh? Is this the wine all the soldiers are gossiping about?!" Jean asked as he picked a bottle up. "They say only higher ranks can get it!"
