The Island of Devils

Chapter 30

After the meeting in the restaurant, the Scouts and the Anti-Marleyan Volunteers are now moving to Shiganshina. Thanks to the evacuation, the town here is now an empty town.

Eren was sitting at his own house as he sat on the bed, Historia approached him with Mikasa helping her with the wheelchair and he said, "Eren... can we talk?"

Eren looked at Historia and asked, "Why are you still here, you should've gone back to the farm and rested there, you still have a baby in your stomach after all."

"With how things turned out right now, do you expect me to turn away like a coward?" Historia said in a stern tone. "Something is bothering you, can you tell me?"

Eren said, "I really wanted to have a nice calm talk...I don't want to fight to solve Eldia's problems. But everything has to go against the way we desire..."

"Eren..." Mikasa muttered.

"We tried to negotiate with other nations, but they refused to negotiate peace with us. And that was not the worst thing... the Garrison and the Military Police were also trying to take our powers, and they won't stop until they get all 9 of them with us. They are also trying to break the only allies from outside because they were scared that they backstabbed us." Eren said while lowering his head. "At least... I'm happy that you guys are still believing in me..."

"Of course, we believe in you. You and the Scouts are still the heroes who managed to take the power of the nine back, you also freed the island with pure Titans." Historia said. 

Mikasa said, "Eren, the sins are not only yours to bear with. Every one of us is willing to share the same burden with you."

"I didn't want you to..." Eren said. "Trying to change the future... it is not an easy task to do. It didn't stop Marley from attacking us right now... but at least... we were still changing."

"So what did you see about this part of the future?" Historia asked.

"I tried to push all of you away..." Eren said, "I said mean words to Armin and Mikasa, I threw my friends into prison just because I didn't want to suffer the battle with Marley..."

This caused Mikasa and Historia to gasp. Eren stared at his hands and said, "For some reason, even though it won't happen, but I still felt it... those two hands, they punched Armin's face time after time... "

"Eren... you never punched Armin, right?" Mikasa asked with horror.

"I don't want to. And I'm not going to." Eren said. "Tomorrow... I'm going to use the paths on Eldians on Paradis Island. I'm going to tell them the truth. However, there's also a chance that Reiner and the Marley forces were also there as well. They won't be able to interfere."

Historia said, "I see..."

When Mikasa and Historia left, Eren suddenly stood up and punched the wall with a roar. "Damn it..."

Downstairs, Mikasa and the others heard Eren's roaring, and Armin asked, "Was that Eren?"

"Don't tell me that..." Jean gasped as some of them rushed upstairs, only to see Eren continue to punch the wall.

"Your highness! What are you doing?" Floch and Sasha were trying to stop him. He said, "I'm just trying to beat this shit out of me."

"But that scream, what if the Garrison and the Military Police turned into Titans?" Hange asked.

"No, they won't turn into a pure titan. I'm just giving them the warning to let them know that they have drunk the wine. So they would have to be careful."

A bowl dropped to the ground and shattered, Commander Pyxis and the Garrison were standing in shock and staring at their own hands.

"What was that?" "My body went numb." "Yeah!" "Me, too!"
