I sighed in relief as I hopped off the wagon with the others. It was a long night and I had zero sleep, along with the clashing with Kenny's squad━let's just say I was exhausted, "Historia, forgot to tell you.." Captain Levi called

We all gathered up in front of his and awaited for his announcement, "Erwin's orders. When this battle is over, since you're the true successor to the throne... Become the Queen,"

Our breathes hitched and eyes wide, "Queen Historia?!" Sasha cried

"I..." Historia hesitated

I almost feel bad for her, first, she was given a role to be a soldier, then got captured by her father to retake the powers of what titan resided Eren and now being Queen, "Um.. Captain. I'm sure you heard what Historia said earlier, but... By leaving her father, she finally broke free from that burden, I guess you could say..." Connie stumbled on his words

"If you got something to say, then say it," Impatiently, the Captain said

"What Connie was trying to say was that Historia finally broke free from the Reiss family, and now you're forcing another role for her? Isn't that.. I don't know, unfair for her?" Jean finished

"It's all right..." Historia spoke, "My next duty is to be Queen, right? Understood," She agrees

Our eyes widened in shock with her bold agreement, but after that, she laid a favor for the Captain to let her fight for the last time before becoming Queen. Nodding, we all went inside the headquarters for the strategy meeting.

"Hey, Histo━" As I grabbed her shoulder,, she flinched at my touch

My eyes widened as well with hers, "Wh... What is it, Mia?" She asked

I sweatdropped before finally catching my words, "N-Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you're not getting pressured by becoming Queen.."

She nodded, "It's fine, I'm the true successor and the people of the Walls needs a leader, I can't let anyone down," She said. I nodded as we both went inside the meeting room

After Commander Erwin explained our plan on how to kill Rod Reiss, people from the Garrison were mad. According to Hange, the titan is attracted to high concentration of people━evacuating the people to Wall Sina is out of the picture. It can be a cause to the fall of Humanity is that were to happen.

Commander Erwin also requested to have a evacuation drill with the people of Orvud, so that they will be ready with an actual evacuation. The Garrison seemed to be doubting about the plan, but they have no choice, it was the only way and they can't create another option. 

The following morning, the evacuation drill was happening below us as we prepare some supplies that was needed. The Garrison, on the other hand, they were firing canons non-stop on Rod Reiss, but nothing was happening. 

Placing another barrel of gunpowder on top of another, I glanced over to Historia and Commander Erwin having a serious conversation━probably having her in the frontlines. Glancing over my brunette friend, I frowned at his current state, Eren has been quiet since we got back from their rescue. Sighing, I looked down at the city of Orvud as I spotted a group of kids━nostalgia kicking in.

"Hey, look," I called, "Check out those kids,"

Eren went over and glanced down at the kids, "Kinda reminds me when we were kids too..." Sadly, I smiled, ".. on that day," He added

"Nobody thinks that a titan bigger than the wall will attack," I commented as I went back to work, "They might end up seeing the same sight as we did that day, but things are different now. Atop of the walls, soldiers stand to face the titan. And that would be us" I smirked confidently
