┏°⌜ 083: Past

Suddenly you felt a severe headache.
Each pulse sent waves of agony through your skull, making it feel like your brain was about to burst.
You winced in pain, struggling to focus on anything at all.
You closed your eyes, hoping to find some relief from the throbbing pain. The headache felt like a relentless vice, squeezing your temples mercilessly.

The intensity of the headache only grew, making it difficult to think clearly.
The pain even began to affect your ability to concentrate.

"Hey, wake up you little rat!"

The voice of a male made you flinch
"HUH?!"
As suddenly as the pain had started, the intensity of the headache began to wane. The excruciating throbbing gradually reduced to a dull ache, allowing fragments of clarity to return to your mind. You cautiously opened your eyes, seeing that you were sitting in a carriage and 2 soldiers sitting across from you.
What is going on?

"Tsk...Slaves like you should be glad to have such an honor to be present at the King's speech tomorrow, and you ungrateful brat dare to fall asleep? You are lucky to be Ymir's sister..."
The Soilder just crossed his arms, sounding disgusted

You had to swallow, his words made you angry and confused. First you had to understand the situation you were in, so you shouldn't say or do rash things
"Y-yeah, I'm sorry sir..."

"Hmpf..."
The other soldiers just shaked his head, looking out of the wooden little window of the carriage

So, the King's speech is tomorrow...?
You- or rather Libertas, was invited?
The most important thing was to gather as much information as possible without looking weird or suspicious.
In your hand was a letter that was already open, perhaps it will give you some answers. You unfolded the letter and looked at what was written inside

Ymir... so she invited you. That means you are currently on your way to the castle then?
But what if it's a trap? Have you - or rather Libertas - already tried to Kill the king? Maybe it's all a trick to lure you into the cell.

But then again, that would actually be stupid because they wouldn't do that secretly.
So that means, as of now, Libertas has not attempted to kill the King yet.

Yet in memory before you were stabbed by Ymir it was said:
'We have not yet been able to identify or locate the man she attempted this murder with'

Who is this man? Has Libertas already planned it?
Anyway, you can't let that happen, because as you know, it doesn't end well. Probably the last memory was a warning of how this would end.
