Chapter "25"

Eren had been in Shiganshina for three days now. He was eagerly awaiting tomorrow, as his younger self had said to come by the clearing in three days, which was two days ago.

The moon shone high in the sky. It lit up the sky so much that all the stars around it could not withstand it's radiance and just disappeared. The moon was almost full, but Eren knew he had to wait one more night. What did the boy wish him to see in the clearing tomorrow night? What was so important?

Eren's mind would often turn to Levi. He wondered how he was, whether he was angry or not. Eren didn't exactly tell Levi himself that he was leaving. Not even a goodbye. He just walked out and he was starting to regret it.

After the conversation with The Elder two days ago, Eren had been thinking very carefully about what he wanted to do. He didn't want to marry because others told him to.

Eren loved Levi. He loved him with everything he had, because Levi had given him everything. Well, apart from the things his mother gave him, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Eren knew what he wanted, but he knew he needed to speak to one more person before fully realising what he wanted, and needed.

Helen.

Now, a few months ago, Eren would have been laughing himself to death if he ever thought that he needed Helen's advise, but he needed it now. Helen had spent the last few days in Trost with her lover, but had returned that evening, but was very tired.

Eren sat on the windowsill in his room, looking over the village and the woods. Well, it wasn't 'looking over', but he was able to see people, and some waved to him. His hand reached to the two charms around his neck. The first was his key. Eren couldn't bare to get rid of it, it was a present from his mother and it still ran in his family. He would pass it down to the cub inside of him when the time was right.

The second was The Wings of Freedom. Eren completely believed in Levi's love and knew that he would never doubt it again. He knew he was being selfish to Levi, and he hated that side of him, but he needed to think about it. It wasn't right to pop the question after a few months and the immediately say 'yes'. Well, Levi didn't actually ask, he just suggested.

Eren could imagine it. He could...

The child that grew inside of him could be a Prince, and then what would happen? Even though Eren knew that he wanted to marry Levi for the right reasons, he still had to think of what would happen if he didn't.

If the child did turn out to be a Prince, then Levi would never let him go. It wouldn't just be Levi, it would be the council too. Eren knew that the council were just a bunch of scum that wanted to take charge and just needed a face. So maybe Eren could use some of him persuasion magic.

Levi had told Eren that the councillors didn't take kindly to Omegas on the council, however, if Eren was Queen, he would have a right. This wasn't just about the rebellion for Omegas, but everything else that was good. Levi knew that the council were manipulating him, and Eren wished he had listened to him back at the palace. He would have to go back soon anyway.

He knew he had sensed an 'I told you so' coming, but he didn't know that Levi would be the one saying it.

There was a knock at the door.

"Eren, are you still awake?" his mothers voice called. Eren hummed, still looking out the window.

"Come in," he muttered. The door opened and then closed.

"What are you thinking? You have been quiet for days. Where is my son that used to be so loud and upbeat?" she said. Eren smiled and turned to Carla, who had sat down and was also smiling.
