Dedicated Chapter Song: From Now On - The Greatest Showman OST
If all was lost, there's more I gained. 'Cause it led me back to you.
(Levi)It's been...how long...since then? I cannot tell. I've been trapped in a cell for far too long as an enemy of the state. Apparently faking your death on top of faking nobility is punishable by death, but Captain Levi made a special...arrangement of sorts. I don't know what he's still keeping me for; and I haven't seen my daughters in what feels like a month.
My senses are growing numb. They've kept me in a dark box, essentially. No sunlight, no voices, no one to talk to. I'm given food and water very rarely; they must know by now I can survive long enough without it. Though the pain of my stomach gets worst with each passing day. Recently I've began coughing up blood. I wonder if I'm dying.
Then again, I don't deserve death. Not a peaceful one, at the very least. I'm lucky they leave me a candle and a journal to write in. They must expect that I will write a confession about how I betrayed Eldia before my untimely death. They're wasting their time. I have nothing for them.
I don't trust Zeke. I never have. I made him trust ME. Even then, I know he's had his suspicions of me. Can't say that I blame him. I am an Ackerman after all...
But that name...it makes me question everything. What is an Ackerman, really? Our bloodline was meant to protect that of the royal family. So when we found someone with royal blood, or something of the like, we'd devote ourselves to protecting them and standing by their side for eternity.
Yet I've never met someone like this. I've had friends, foes, lovers...but no one I felt like I had to protect. No one that I knew couldn't handle themselves. Perhaps it is true that my only real purpose is to die. Ah! I hear footsteps-
Slowly Anna's head turned as a glowing light came into view with a hushed voice following it. Anywhere in the world, even in an apocalypse of Titans, Anna would know those footsteps and that breathing pattern; and those eyes. Those cold, dead, heartless eyes that pierced into her very soul from behind the iron bars that surrounded her. "Get up," said the man she'd married so very long ago, it seemed.
And Anna obeyed, standing to her feet, brushing off the beige colored dress she'd been gifted with upon her arrest. She wasn't handcuffed or chained to a wall. Just bound behind a wall of iron. As if they trusted her not to escape.
