Chapter 49: Her Queen

~(Y/N)~

I looked out the window at the blinding whiteness of the snow. We had just left Pridoria, heading to Huskuecia to deliver Ymir to Historia to receive her punishment and discuss our plan with Historia.

It would take a day's trip usually, but with the snow and a storm soon heading in we'd have to stop in a small village called Bardford. Sitting beside Levi we sat there silently, Ymir sat across from us with her hands chained.

Levi had his arm draped around my shoulder providing me with enough warmth to keep me from shaking. His cloak helped shield most of the icy winds that invaded the carriage. It had been a day since the ball and mine and Levi's relationship going public, so far the people have been taking it quite nicely seeing as they could care less of my adoption.

"So, how exactly are you going to get Historia to take me back?" Ymir asks.

Turning my head towards her a playful smirk tugged at her lips. "Simple, if she truly cares for you then she would have you back without question, I sincerely hope she keeps her word in your punishment... it's only fair." I say.

"Sometime you gotta do shit to stay alive." she growls.

"Stealing royals won't keep you alive, if anything it'll get you killed, be grateful (Y/N) has allowed you to live." Levi growls back, looking to him he kept his hateful glare on Ymir. They were like two wild dogs about to fight over food.

Placing my hand on his chest I signified to calm down. Looking down at me he let out a sigh before turning his head in the opposite direction. "Levi is right, three years jail time is much better than being hung, this way you can hopefully get back into Historia's good graces and reclaim your title again." I say.

Groaning softly she turned her head away from me. The way she seemed to react each time I brought up Historia made me wonder more about their relationship. "So, tell me about you and Historia... when did you two meet?" I ask.

She let out a sigh before rolling her eyes. "Since I'm stuck here, I might as well tell you." she says.

This caught Levi's attention as well, darting his head we both looked to Ymir as she started to tell her story. "It was when I was about 11, I was adopted into a noble family, the mother couldn't bare children and desperately needed an heir... so they chose me." she starts. She sat there twiddling her thumbs leaning in back in her seat.

"I was sent to a convent for a while, my parents went traveling while I was stuck in a classroom with girls learning how to be more ladylike." she continues, leaning in closer to Levi, I felt a cool breeze sweep across my back causing me to shiver slightly.

"That's where I met Historia, she was small... really small, and no matter how hard I tried pushing her away she never left my side." she stop, seeming to choke up at her words. They must have been close.

"As we got older, the more our feelings seemed to surface, her father didn't know of my adoption at the time and supported our love for one another and thought it would be wonderful for both of us to rule Huskuecuia." Ymir mutters.

"Did he find out?" I ask.

"Yes, but he didn't care as much as he did when he found out I was working with pirates." she adds.

"Why did you? Work with them?" I ask.

"My family was running out of money... I guess my stepfather was gambling and lost a lot of our money." she explains.
