We were making our way to Trost District, and I thought it necessary to create a plan.

"If I may say something, there is a chance we'll be ambushed while in Trost. I think we need to take some precautions. Have Eren and Historia travel in secret and have two decoys. And that way we can find out who the enemy is." I explained.

"That's actually a really cool plan, but who would be the decoys?" Connie asked. I narrowed my eyes towards Jean and Armin.

"Jean disguised himself as Eren once, and Armin is pretty feminine to pass off as Historia." I mentioned. Jean and Armin went blue in the face.

"I'm not feminine!" Armin cried.

"Why me again!?" Jean yelled.

"You two are the best we have, you were given and order, now follow it." Levi ordered.

"Don't worry, we'll rescue you if needed. We won't let anything happen to you. And if we are right, they aren't trying to kill you." I mentioned.

"That's a good plan. So then, Eren will be hidden?" Mikasa questioned.

"We'd have him and Historia travel in a covered wagon, so nobody will tell. And we can't blow their cover no matter what." I replied. Mikasa seemed okay with that idea.

Later we arrived in Trost when daylight arrived, and we all went unnoticeable. We managed to get Historia and Eren into hiding, the rest of us were going along the streets. Jean and Armin were in disguise, so I know this plan will succeed.

"Try not to walk in a cluster. We'll stand out. Eren and Historia, walk normally." Levi advised.

"Why is the Royal family's flag hanging everywhere?" Connie questioned.

"Oh! Today must be the anniversary of the King's coronation. Once a year, they hand out a haul of rations." Sasha explained.

No, it must just be a cover up. Is it possible the royal family is behind this as well?

We saw a couple MP's standing out and announcing something to the public.

"We'll begin handing out rations! King Fritz has heard of Trost District's hardship and will donate the royal family's reserves!" One shouted. Everyone began cheering.

I clicked my tongue and turned my gaze away.

"No way am I related to the King himself." I murmured.

"What has you saying that?" Levi wondered.

"My grandfather is the head of the Fritz family, and from my understanding, he had no intention of coming back here. I think this is just a cover story." I explained.

"One more thing, if the Fritz family is indeed involved, how come they aren't after you?"

"They don't know I'm alive. With the last name Zaki, it covers my identity up well. And (y/n) is a common name among the community, so they wouldn't suspect me. And they assume I'm dead because of the assault twenty-one years ago. I don't resemble my mother very much so I'm safe." I explained.

"What a King! He sure is generous!" Sasha pointed out.

"He's got more than what he knows what to do with. People are weak, especially when baited with food." Levi mentioned, as we continued to walk.

I've been so distant from my family that I don't even know what they are doing with themselves. Is my grandfather actually here? If he saw me, would he recognize me? I only saw him a few times when in Eldia, and the only things he told me was about our ancestors.
