Girl From Royalty

Ch. 26 - The Murderer's Son

The eight of us began to head downstairs. A few of us were a bit nervous since we weren't using maneuvering gear along with our blades.

"Can we really kill titans without our maneuvering gear," Connie questioned.

"Yeah. They're only three to four meter class titans. The target will be easy to hit," Reiner responded.

"Yeah and no matter what size, the target is always the nape of the neck," Jean commented.

"One meter long and ten centimeters wide," Sasha said confidently.

"Or we can shove our blades up their asses. That's another weak spot," Reiner stated with a smirk.

"I didn't know about that!" Connie replied.

"Why am I only hearing this now?" Sasha complained.

"Reiner. Those might end up being your last words," Jean stated with a huff.

"You idiot," I said and lightly kicked Reiner in the back since I was behind him. "Don't feed them false information."

We eventually made it downstairs and up into the rafters, hiding and waiting for our chance to strike. I watched as the lift came down and began to draw in the titans.

"Keep calm. Draw them in," Marco commanded as many of the soldiers began to get antsy.

We waited patiently as the eight titans began to approach the lift. I tightened my grip on my blades as they got closer to the lift.

"Fire! Now!" Marco yelled and everyone shot at the titans eyes.

They were blinded and that was our cue. I jumped from my hiding spot and sliced through the nape. I successfully got it, but since I didn't have maneuvering gear I landed funny on the ground. By funny I mean not graceful. I hit the ground and felt my ankle cave in on itself, making me wince in pain. It was the same ankle I had sprained before, so I wasn't surprised at this point since it was more susceptible.

I looked over and saw Connie and Sasha had missed there marks. I went to get up to help, grimacing a bit but luckily Mikasa and Annie got there just in time. Now we were safe and could resupply our gear. With this, we would be able to escape to the other side of the wall.

I finished refilling my gas canisters along with my blades. I also found some cloth I could use to try and set my ankle, to help with the sprain. I took off my boot and began to try and wrap it around my ankle.

"Here. Let me help," Reiner said and kneeled down in front of me.

"Thank you," I replied softly as he began to gently tie up my ankle.

"I thought I told you to be careful," Reiner commented and glanced up at me.

"I was," I retorted. "I'm not use to using the blades without the rest of our gear."

Reiner just chuckled and finished wrapping up my ankle, putting my boot back on. As he did this, he then was very close to me and I was caught off guard. Our face was probably inches apart as we starred into each others eyes.

"R-Reiner," I said nervously as he moved closer to me.

"Reiner!" Annie interjected as she walked over. "We need to go."

Reiner narrowed his eyes at Annie and then sighed, nodding. Annie then helped me up and we all headed out of headquarters.

"Look. The titan," Jean said as he noticed the titan from before being eaten by other titans. "That's sick."

We all landed on the roof nearby and stared at it. Soon another titan walked by and that seemed to trigger it.

"That's the titan that killed Thomas!" Armin cried out as the titan began to go after it.

Thomas.....I was just with him before this whole conundrum happened. Him and Mina, who are now lost. They both liked each other. They were still young.

Soon the abnormal titan fell to the ground and I looked around to see if any other titans were here. Once I knew it was clear I began to head towards it.

"(Y/N). You're injured. Stop," Reiner said and I ignored him.

I jumped off the roof and flew over to the titan, followed by Mikasa. The nape opened up and moved to pull the person out.

It was....Eren.

Eren was a shifter. Wait. But, his titan isn't the armoured, the colossal, the jaw, war hammer, female, cart, or beast titan. His form didn't resemble the sort of physiques those titans contained for the specific purposes.

The attack titan...but that would mean he also contains the power of the

"Mikasa. Was Eren's father a man with glasses, long brown hair, and teal eyes," I questioned as I looked towards Mikasa, who was currently clinging to Eren for dear life.

"How did you know that?" Mikasa asked curiously.

"I've met him before...I just made the connection between him and Eren," I stated softly.

I felt rage coursing through my body, but I knew I couldn't let my rage out here. He was the son of the man who murdered my family. My sisters, brothers, and mother. I would give myself away right now if I just suddenly attacked him for no reason. I helped Mikasa get him out of the titan nape. After that, we brought him back to safety at the top of headquarters.

Armin and Mikasa were making sure everything was okay with him. Meanwhile Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Jean, and I stood there awkwardly.

"So does that mean...Eren did all of this," Jean said as he gazed at all the evaporating titan corpses.

"Guess so," Bertholdt commented.

"We need to get to the other side of the wall," Reiner stated and we all headed off, carrying Eren with us.

Eren has been revealed! What's gonna happen next?! Who knows.

I mean, I know and sorta you guys since if you read the manga or watched the anime.
