(Historia's POV)

Mackenzie is one of us? Did I hear that right? But she can turn into a titan like Eren. "Even if I am a princess by blood, no one in my time would ever believe me. I highly doubt they would recognize me as one of their own."  she said. "Even so, only the Founding Titan's might can be wielded by a member in our bloodline. It's wasted on Eren but not on you it seems." He said.

(Mackenzie's POV)

"Hey hey hey! Just a damn minute!"

"Kenny?" We looked at him. "Sounds like if someone who isn't a Reiss eats Eren, they won't get the powers of the king." "Yes that's right." "So then what? Even if I do turn into a titan and eat Eren, it won't do me any good?" Kenny said. "What are you saying?" Rod said before Kenny grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pointed a gun to his left eye. "Let him go!" Historia shouted frantically. I quickly turned my hammer into twin daggers. "What the hell gotten into you? Do you think I'm lying?" "No, I don't. I waited a long time for this day because I knew the one thing you weren't lying about, it was the succession ritual. Damn you prick. You knew what I was after this whole time and you knew I wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting it, you went ahead and used me, huh?!" Kenny angrily said. "I'm very grateful. When my brother first brought you into his service, I thought it was another of his foolish whims but-" "You keep talking shit about Uri and you can kiss this half of your head goodbye!" He said pissed off. "Stop it!" Historia grabbed onto the gun and Kenny's arm and made him put it down. "Get away from my father!" She demanded. "Come on. This is pitiful. Don't you get it yet, Historia? Your daddy doesn't give a damn!" He flung her off of him and she fell to the ground. "He brought you here so that he can turn into a monster. And after that, he's gonna make ya eat your buddy Eren."

Historia got up with a look of determination. "If that's my duty, then that's what I'll do." She said. Me, Kenny and Eren were taken back a bit. "Yeah. I've decided. I'll eat Eren and bring my sister back! I'll inherit the world's history! And exterminate every last titan! If that's my duty then I'll do it!" "Damn it Historia, think about this. What the hell is this old bastard ever done for you? Only reason he picked you up is because of that royal blood of yours. This piece of trash is too scared to turn into a titan himself. That's why he forced his brother and daughter to do it for him. That's the kind of man your daddy is." He said and she looked away. "He's wrong, Historia. That isn't the truth. It's essential that I don't become a titan myself. You shouldn't believe him. I'm the only man you can trust." Rod said and Kenny let him go. Historia ran to her father.

I quickly ran towards him, about to stab him, but he blocked me just as quick. "And as for you, Miss Bride-To-Be. From your eyes, you went through the same ritual as Uri and Frieda did-" "Wrong. I didn't eat anyone to get this power." I cut him off saying that. "Then how the hell did you get it? Just sheer dumb luck?!" I lowered my weapons and backed off before answering Kenny with, "You could say that." Rod looked at him. He "relieved" him of his duties and told him go live out his years. Kenny wasn't amused by that. He'd be bored to death. He made his way to the chained up Eren. "Kenny, just what are you planning to do?" "If she wants to turn into a titan, then that's her choice to make." He grabbed Eren by his hair and unhooked the mouthpiece in Eren's mouth. "But I say the boy gets a fair shot. They can both turn titan and fight it out. If Historia wins, well then, you'll have your peace. But if Eren takes her down, the situation stays the same." He cut his forehead and Eren started bleeding and let him go. "Going on living for the sake for drawing breath. That doesn't sound like any kind of life to me." He said. In a blink of an eye, Rod went berserk and gave her the injection. "Historia, take this injection and you'll become a powerful titan! If you can remember, it's not enough just to bite him anywhere. To take his power, you have to ingest his spinal fluid." He said and Historia was rightfully freaking out. Kenny decided to get the hell out of dodge.

She hesitated and looked at both me and Eren. "Eren...Mackenzie, why aren't you two transforming? You're gonna fight back, aren't you? You can't just let me...defend yourselves!" Eren looked at her and he was crying. "It didn't have to be like this. All that death...could've been avoided. Five years ago, if dad hadn't done what he did to your sister, she would've done something to stop all this. But because my dad chose to stole this power from it's rightful owner, countless people ended up getting killed. Armin's grandpa, Thomas, Nack, Mina, Melias, Marco, everyone in Levi Squad, the people of Stohess, the soldiers who came to save me and Mackenzie, and Hannes. I could never atone...for all of their pain. That never should've happened. I shouldn't have happened." He softly cried. I felt my back started to hurt a bit but I shook it off. Rod went on a rant about the Founding and I used this chance to run towards Eren. Next thing I saw was Historia threw her old man on his back and that went into my top 20 awesome moments in my life. "The hell are you doing? Just get out of here." Eren said and she made her way to us with the keys. "No way, we're busting you of here!" "You can't! If you don't kill me, everyone will keep suffering! Just eat me already damn it! I can't live like this so, just end it!!" He whined. Historia bonked him on the head and told him to shut up. I never felt prouder of her.
