The ride towards Niccolo's restaurant was quiet. I haven't uttered a single word ever since that meeting where we plan out where to find those Yeagerists. This is literally all my fault. If only I didn't move an inch away from my siblings that day. Then I would be dead and then everything that's happening right now wouldn't have happened.
3rd Person's Pov
flashback
"Floch Forster and some 100 soldiers and guards vanished from the prison. They're thought to have defected timed with Eren's escape. I'm sure they're behind the premier's murder, too. They need a name. Let's call these anti-military insurgents 'Yeagerists'. And the goal is what, Hange?" Nile questioned
"They're hoping to bring Zeke and Eren together. They'll reform the the military with Eren on top. Murdering the premier shows their resolve. It's obvious what provoked them. The military schemed to take the Founder from Eren, all without telling us." Hange answered
Nile then said, "We knew what would happen if we had. In any case, many of the Yeagerists are from the Scouts. How will you take responsibility, Hange?"
"I'll accept my punishment. But resigning now would be an irresponsible thing to do. Besides, we don't know how many Yeagerists are still in hiding."
"Indeed. There might even be a suicide bomber standing in front of me."
"Roeg, don't be ridiculous." Hange said
"Can you be trusted? Until we know, we can't let you Scouts roam free!"
Suddenly, the Garrison entered the room. "Enough! We have a guest here! We have more important things to do than bicker! Hange, who knows where Zeke's being held?" Pyxis questioned the brunette
"Levi and 30 scouts with him. Also, three soldiers who deliver supplies. Lastly, there's me."
"Have those three brought here. Nile, is Lady Historia's residence safe?" Pyxis questione Nile
"Only a few know the location, but I'll check it out." Nile stated
"Eren will attempt to contact Zeke, Historia and Y/N." He then looked at Y/N and said, "Y/N, you stay with the Scouts."
"Alright, I will" Y/N murmured
"Commander Pyxis! Now tat we've lost the premier, the only one who could lead us is you. What do you think should we do?" Armin asked
"We've been utterly beaten. Let's surrender to Eren. We can't do a thing about enemies in our midst. Even if we flushed them out, who knows how much blood it could cost? We don't have time to waste on such folly. Our decisions made soldiers turn their backs on us. It brought about our defeat."
One of the mp's then exclaimed, "You're kidding! Bow down to the people who killed the the premier?!"
"I knew Zachary for many years. To live and die by revolution would be what he wanted. Anyways, the four who died wouldn't want their deaths to cause Eldia's fall." Pyxis said
"So instead, we submit to the Yeager brothers?!" Nile questioned
"We're not submitting. We'll use the location of Zeke to negotiate with the Yeagerists. Like before, Eldia's survival will depend on the test run of the rumbling. However, we must look past the fact that they murdered the premier. If that's the price to prevent countless comrades for being killed... so be it." He then commanded, "Get moving, soldiers!"

We finally arrived at Niccolo's restaurant. Sasha was already there since her family was invited. I personally felt happy for her since I've seen the way the two of them looked at each other.
But unfortunately, I'm not really in the mood to be really happy for her. I really just told the truth about Eren manipulating me to almost all the higher ups of the Military. What kind of good wife am I?
"Oi, Y/N. Cheer up. What's important is that you told everyone the truth" MIkasa forced a smile on her face
"Thank you Mikasa. But what makes everything worse is that he seemed angry at me yesterday. I just deserve to die--"
Mikasa hugged me and said, "No you don't! Dying won't give you the freedom you wanted. You're really important to us not just because you have royal blood but you're like a big sister to us. You helped all of us whenever we were upset and stuff. Just please don't think about dying. You won't die any time soon."
