"Who say's I'm dead? You know I think you've of all people should know you should never touch what belongs to someone else. I'm actually offended that you thought I was dead, you barely grazed me. And now you've made me mad by hitting on my girl." Levi growled, stalking closer to König; his weapons drawn as if he was a predator ready to pounce.
"Oh are you here to play hero? I'm afraid that won't be happening. I'm not going to let a brat destroy my plans that I've been working on for my entire life. That can't happen. And the only way to prevent that is to kill you…. Actually no! I have a better idea, let's have duel! If I win, I get your girl and to kill you and if you win you get to kill me and take control of the kingdom! Fair deal I think, well for me at least. I won't lose to an inexperienced kid. Shake my hand if you accept to the terms!" König exclaimed, drawing his swords quickly. He looked as if he was a kid waking up on Christmas morning. König turned to me, licking his lips as he glanced over me. "Don't worry dear, I'll show you want a real man can do. You can have me soon" He winked, before prancing off to the centre of the room to join Levi.
"I have some advice before you propose a fight. Don't do everything possible to annoy the living daylights out of the person you want to fight you. You will get your ass handed to you on a golden platter you tool" Levi hissed, raising his weapons and readying himself for the fight.
"So you accept. Wonderful. Please don't take me killing you to personally. It's what I have to do to protect my own interests. Oh and your girlfriend is smoking how did you pull her" He chuckled charging at Levi with two ruby encrusted steel blades.
König swung at Levi, in an attempt to stab him in the chest but the move was anticipated and Levi swiftly countered the attack and started his own attack. Levi delicately swung the sword, creating the illusion that he too was aiming for König's chest. König brought one of his swords to block what he thought Levi was doing however König had placed his swords exactly where Levi had wanted them to be. Levi swiftly swung his other sword and knocked König's defending sword to floor. The sword clattered to the floor loudly and a panicked look emerged from König's face. Whereas Levi was the exact opposite; calm and collected not letting any emotion break through his cool composure. König to, noticed this and his attacks became more frantic. Each move putt himself in more danger of being ended by Levi and his deadly blade. Heavy breaths erupted from the older man, who's stamina appeared to be much smaller than his opponents and this triggered a change in the man's game plan. He knew he was about to lose. He was now going to play dirty to avoid losing to the Captain. König was so determined that he was to be the winner that he would fight by any means necessary.
König stuck his foot out in a successful attempt to trip Levi. Levi fell quickly and hardly on to the marble flooring, his swords sent flying across the floor. König straddled him, in an attempt to keep the agile man pinned to the ground. If Levi were allowed to get back up and fight the exhausted König wouldn't be able to fight for much longer and he'd lose. That's why he'd resorted to playing dirty little tricks. All I could do was stand there and watch. Watch the love of my life be taken away from me, for real this time. I shook my head trying to dismiss the thought. What was I on about? I had the power to stop this. I reached to pull my own swords from the holsters that hung around my waist only to come up empty handed. I had forgotten that König had already taken and disposed of them in our previous fight that had resulted in the destruction of my precious swords. My eyes scanned the room for new weapons, quickly checking on the fighting males. Levi was trying to force König's swords from his hands in an attempt to stop his own throat from being sliced open. I could tell that he was struggling and that it was only a matter of time before he lost his fight. There was only so much that the strongest soldier could do; especially whilst injured. I needed to act quickly or it wouldn't only be Levi that would be lost; we would lose the hope for humanity. Our fight would be lost. My eyes located Levi's discarded blades lying unattended in the middle of the room. Jack pot.
I slowly snuck across the room, trying to make the littlest noise possible. I was done for it I caught König's attention. We were no good to the world if both of us ended up dead. Levi's eyes darted to my moving figure, a smile spread across his face when he realised where I was heading. I had given him hope that this wasn't the end for him. That's what he needed. His struggle to keep the blades off of him became easier as if the weight of the metal had become as light as a feather.
"What's with the smile shorty? You think it's funny that you're about to die" König snarled, pushing the blades with more force at the smaller man's neck.
"Oh how wrong you are Fritz" Levi grinned, his eyes flickering over to me only for a millisecond but the fact I now possessed the lethal blades was a great comfort to him. His grin only growing wider and aggravating the older man further. I sneaked up behind the two brawling men, keeping as quietly as I possibly could. Any hint at my position would blow the attack out of the water.
"I really don't understand how you come to the conclusion that you are wining in this fight. Unless you consider dying the prize here. In which case you should of probably got that seen to instead of starting a rebellion. But to each their own I suppose. Strange bugger you are" König muttered, confusion evident in his voice. It was funny how unaware the man was off his surroundings.
Quickly I sprang up behind the man, looping my arm around his neck so that the steel of Levi's sword was flush against his throat. I straddled his back, pinning him so that he had no way of escaping.
"Oh that's dirty, using a girl to win a fight. What sort of man are you?" König hissed, struggling against my vice like grip.
"Word of advice, don't insult a girl's loved one and then force yourself on her. Who are you to judge a man, especially with what you've done. Rot in hell you bastard." I hissed in König's ear before using all the strength I could muster to slice the larger man's throat. A fountain of blood spurted from the former General's neck, spraying and coating everything beneath him in the crimson stain of death. I released him from my grip and König's body drop like a dead weight onto Levi who was still pinned beneath the corpse. Blood continued to leak from the wound in the man's neck, coating Levi in a thick layer of warm blood. He crawled out from underneath the dead man and push the dead man aside. He slowly approached me, looping his arms around my shoulders, pulling me in to the warmth of his chest. I inhaled deeply, taking in the musky, comforting scent that was Levi.
"We've done it. We've finally ended the tyrannical reign of Hana and General König. All those who died for us, have finally got what they gave their lives for. They weren't wasted. What will happen now?" I sobbed into his chest. The joy I was feeling at what we had just accomplished was overwhelming and not comprehendible. I honestly couldn't believe it was over.
"I can't answer that question. I never thought we'd get this far in all honesty. But I'm glad we did, and I'm glad I got to do this with you" Levi murmured softly into my shoulder. I could feel the fabric of the jacket covering my shoulder growing wetter the longer Levi rested his head on me.
"Levi are you crying?" I asked, pulling myself away from him so I could look at the older man's face. And sure enough, small crystal tears streaked across his cheeks as if they were racing each other.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy the scum bag is dead and you're ok. I couldn't bear to listen to what he was saying to you. I'm sorry you had to go through all that but it was Erwin's plan. I had to follow it to a tea or it wouldn't have worked. Please forgive me" Levi sobbed. It was unnerving seeing the man cry, it was the first time I'd seen this side of him and I hoped I never had to see it again. It was too painful to watch him cry.
"I don't care about that right now. I thought you were dead. I thought I'd lost you! Never do that to me again. I don't think I'd be able to stand it" I exclaimed, tears streaking down my own face.
"I love you so much Eren" He whispered, leaning his face closer and capturing my lips in a sweet, emotional kiss. This kiss was different from the rest he had given me. This one promised a future together and countless more to follow this one. I looped my arms around his neck and let all my emotions leak out into the kiss we were sharing. It was the only way I could fully show him how much I cared for him. I'm not the best with words you see. I pulled away from the kiss, gasping for air and longing for the return of his soft lips. He rested his forehead against mine, a goofy smile plastered across his face.
"I still want you to explain the plan though. Thanks for keeping me out of the loop"
