Chapter 29 : Queen's Recovery

Hours Later into the Night

Your POV

   After a relaxing shower, I'm all cleaned up. All the higher ups and politicians are staying somewhere where the attackers will not find them if they were to attack again. Erwin is treating Hanji's wounds. She got injured right after she launched me into the air. Suppose attack from behind...right across her back. It wasn't fatal, but any more deeper and the Hanji I love would've been dead.

  Eren and Mikasa are safe, no injuries, just a few scratches and bruises is all. Levi and Helena was unharmed as well. I escaped with a sprained wrist. Papa Snow....both shoulder and seriously injured. Broken collarbone, pulled back muscle, and two deep piercing through both shoulders. Straight through...in one way, out the other. The Queen...ugh, the Queen...she has an injury that is very fatal. Healers are working on her as best as they can...I fear though...not well enough.

  I head to the palace infirmary, my footsteps echoing through the empty halls. 

  'What were their motives on the Queen? Was it that they knew of the antidote for the plague? Is that their motive for the attack? To find out and to eliminate the threat of their most powerful weapon.' My thoughts run wild as I continue down the halls. I finally arrive at the infirmary and entering with a smile...gotta stay happy or others won't feel happy. 

  "Hey.." I say walking in. Everyone's attention goes to me. They give a small smile and proceed with earlier actions. I walk over to Hanji first seeing her doodling while lying on her stomach. 

  "(Y/n)!!" I ruffle her hair as she laughs an pushes my hand away.

  "How are you feeling?"

  "Better than ever. That is if you describe lying on your stomach 24/7 and 'happily' doing nothing, but drawing and writing hypothesizes, then yea...I'm feeling great." I chuckle at her sarcastic side, still my happy little titan freak.

  "Alright. I'm going to check on Queen Amelia. I'll be back." She nods her head as I walk off to the Queen. Several healers still rapidly rushing around her. She lost a lot of blood in the attack, her injury severe.

  "Hey.." I say quietly to her. She turns her head slowly to me as She gives a weak smile. 

  "(Y/n), dear. Come here." I move closer and take a seat beside her. She starts to cough roughly. I quickly take a glance around and find a glass of water and help her drink it. 

  "Thank you...How's your dress?" I laugh nervously...

  "Heh, well, it's a bit turn up the side. Although I think it'll be fine. I'll have it fixed up for another day, but as of right now...it won't be seeing a ball room anytime soon." She gives a small weak laugh. After that there's silence...

  "How's Theo? Is he alright?"

  "I haven't checked up on him yet actually. But he's a tough little bolt." 

  "He sure is, (Y/n). I remember when he helped protect me as a small job. Took out 35 men by himself. Came out so beaten up I though he was going to die. I started to heal hm as fast as I could, although my nerves was building, he calmed me done and I was able to help him. He is a very calm and loyal man."

  "Yea...yea he is." 

  "He probably hasn't told you yet, but...I always knew how he's raised you. Told me he found you in a crate of metal parts. Bundled up in a warm blanket left inly with your name on a small note. I offered to take you as my own, but...he objected and said he was fine. You were like the daughter he never had. I saw the wonder and compassion in his eyes when he laid his eyes on you." She took my hand and rubbed my thumb with hers in a loving manner.
