Levi's Lover [2]

Chapter 8

Eren glared at himself in the mirror, repeating what Mikasa had said at Sasha's funeral. " If you lose, you die. If you win, you live. If you don't fight, you can't win. Keep fighting. Keep fighting. " And this they begin walking on their separate paths. Hanije looked at Eren through the bars of the jail cell. He continued to put up his long hair and stare at himself through the mirror. He glanced at Hanije within the corner of his eye, well, it was more like glaring at her. " What are you saying to the mirror? " He didn't say anything and just continued to stare at the mirror. "You're talking to yourself in the mirror aren't you? Saying fight, fight. Right? You did say fight, fight twice. If you don't speak I won't know, I'm curious because that's what you wouldn't normally say to yourself. " He continued to glare at her, he fixed his long hair into a ponytail. " That new hair is amazing! I can see you're trying to make your hair stand out. " He placed his hands on the sink and yelled out. " What have you come here to do! " " What do you mean? I've come here to talk? When we first met, we talked about titans all night long. All my boring talk, you heard me out. I was certain that there was no need for you to sacrifice Historia. 

Memories 

" As you know Zeke Yeager claims that he has a secret up his sleeve. He says that the Hizaru Nations crucial to this secret to saving the eldians and the rest of the world. That's one of the three courses of action to be able to protect this island by flattening the earth. The first course is to experiment and show the rest of the world the destructive power of even a fraction of this rumbling. " Lied in front of us were three stacks of paper, each one describing the three courses of action this woman had provided us. " The second is the involvement of HIzaru. The aim is to empower this nation's military, to the point where it is caught up with the rest of the world. " 

" In this course, the flattening of the earth is not necessary. It is not difficult to employ the latest weaponry but to have modernized military power requires building a strong foundation of national power. This island is approximately100 years behind the rest of the world.  It will not take a hundred years to bridge that gap. But it will take fifty years to do so. " The room went silent. " In other words, In order to protect this island, you will still need the option of flattening the earth. The third option is the continued possession of the founding titan and a titan of royal blood. For Zeke, the successor of the Beast Titan will need to be one possessing royal blood. And before the thirteen years are up for the one with royal blood, you will need to raise more to take their place. " The room became tense, we all exchanged worried glances, mostly at Historia who's breath hitched. 

Hanije's thought: Will fifty years be enough? 
Even if other weapons are developed "flattening the earth" is a powerful weapon to have. If we can't give that up, the inheritors will continue to be exposed to the risk of assassination and the inheritance of the titans will carry on for generations and generations. Just like the Reiss family from parent to child. 

" I understand. I will accept the inheritance of the beast titan as long as it ensures our survival. " 
We all stood uncomfortable, poor Historia. She couldn't escape this duty. Eren suddenly stood up, stopping the conversation before slamming his hands on the table. " Historia. If our survival depends on being forced to breed like livestock and dying in the process. Even after being violated after the destruction of the walls. Then I can't accept Zeke Yeager's plan. It is dangerous for us to leave our fate to ensuring that the rumbling stays available to us. Wouldn't the best plan be to consider all available options to us, in the time that we have left? " Was Eren right? I wasn't too sure If it was comfortable with the options either. 

" We still, haven't found another option. The end of Zeke's tenure is fast approaching, and Marley will attack Paradise faster than we had planned. I thought we were feeling the same level of anxiety as you. But I don't understand why you had to expose the Island to danger by acting alone. Do you no longer care what happens to Historia? " He continued to glare at the mirror, his hands gripping the stone sink. " I ate the War Hammer Titan. " Hanije widened her eyes and hesitantly answered back. " What? " 

" This titan's ability is to freely create things from the ground through its hardening ability. It was a tiring opponent. " He began stalking towards Hanije, closer to the bars. " Of course. There's no way you'd be able to kill me since I possess the founding titan power. No matter how much you threaten to, you can't kill Zeke either. " He grabbed Hanije's jacket threw the bars and gripped it. She gasped and struggled to get out of his grip. " So Hanije? What can you do! " She choaked out and struggled to break free. " Tell me Hanije! Tell me! " He finally let go of her jacket, she dropped to the floor and glared up at Eren before climbing to her feet. " Eren you pervert! Are you still going through a rebellious phase, you idiot! Young Lad! " She gave him one last glare and climbed the stairs, stopping at the top and leaning against the door. " Erwin this is the only mistake you made, why did you make a person like me the commander? " She frustratedly sighed and opened the door, shocked to find Emma standing on the other side. " It's not nice to eavesdrop. " 

" I-i wasn't. Can I see him? "

" Be careful, he's being quite violent. "

That's the end of this chapter!
