Year 850
Wall Sina - Courthouse
Your PoV

Eren had just arrived to the courthouse, two Military Police soldiers making sure he is kept bound to a metal pole before leaving to stand guard. Armin, Mikasa and myself had been called to act as witnesses for Eren's case. We didn't know what to expect but from what I could gather so far is that both the MP's and Scouts wanted custody of Eren for different reasons. The MPs simply wanted to dissect him, gain as much intel on Eren's dead body. The Scouts wanted to use him for expeditions, potentially to retake Wall Maria if he proves himself worthy. They even had a potential expedition plan which Eren could be involved in.

Currently a merchant and a priest of the Wall Cult were arguing over sealing and reinforcing the gates so the Colossal Titan can't break in since it's supposedly only capable of kicking down the gates. Hearing the priest waffle on about the walls being 'holy gifts' was just sad but the merchant honesty just had his head up his ass. It was obvious he didn't care about the rest of the people and never included them in the 'we' he used.

Zachary did reclaim order after slamming his hand on the table several times but a few people still stared angrily at the duo. I couldn't blame them.

"Eren, I wish you make certain of something." My brother turned his gaze towards Zachary. "As a soldier, can you continue to serve humanity by controlling your Titan ability?"

"Yes, Sir! I can."

"But it says here in this report about the Trost battle that just after you transforming, you swung your fists at Mikasa Ackerman."

Mikasa covered her face slightly with her hair after that statement. She turned to Rico who stood beside me and gave her a deathly glare for adding that to the report.

"What, you expect me to lie in a report?" She looked back to meet Mikasa's dark eyes without any fear of what was held in them. "Hiding this fact wouldn't do humanity any good."

"And who is Mikasa Ackerman?" Zachary inquired while scanning the room.

"That would be me, Sir."

He regarded her for a moment. "Is it true that Yeager in Titan form attacked you?" She didn't answer immediately.

"It's in Eren's best interest that you answer honestly." Mikasa stayed silent, still weighing her options and whether Eren would really benefit from the truth or not.

"I don't like this as much as you do," I glanced at her to make sure she was listening, "but she's right. Tell them the truth."

She closed her eyes and took a breath in, preparing herself. "Yes. It is."

Several people erupted into a flood of exclamations of disturbance. "I knew it! A Titan's a Titan!"

"However," Mikasa continued, reclaiming the attention of the courtroom, "he also saved my life on two prior occasions while in Titan form. The first time, when I was about to fall into the hands of a Titan, he intervened and protected me. The second time, he protected Armin, (F/N) and me from a bombardment. I ask that you take these facts into consideration as well."
