Levi and the others have Eren and Historia's location. Erwin exposes the fake king. And Historia will have to make a decision.
Two figures entered the forest and walked up to Levi and his squad. They revealed themselves to the group.
"Hanji? Moblit? What are you two doing here?" Levi asked.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you all, but we brought some news to show you." Hanji said.
Later, Erwin was tied up and taken to the king. The king's council members were there. Pixis, Nile and his men were in the room as well.
"Commander Erwin, do you know why you're here?" The council member asked.
"No. But, if you were to listen to me, that would be nice. If wall Rose were to be breached again, the titans may come and destroy everything in their path. If that happens, the people will make their way to wall Sina. A cilvil war may break out and it won't be the titans that will breach the wall. But it would be the humans." Erwin said.
"I see. But, we didn't brought you here to talk about the possibility of wall Rose being breached, we brought you here because, you have broken a law. You have kept the boy with titan powers to yourself for your own personal gain and not for humanity's gain. And because of that, you and the scouts must be punished." The council member said.
"Pixis, do you stand with the scouts?" The council member asked.
"I am shocked that you would think I would stand with these fools." Pixis said.
"But, Eren is humanity's hope for the future. Without him, we will lose to the titans." Erwin said.
"We don't know if he is to be trusted. He could destroy us all and yet, you trust him with all your heart." The council member said.
"Because, I believe in him and his comrades believe in him as well." Erwin said.
"Enough, Erwin. That's enough from you. The king will now decide your fate." The council member said.
The man talked to the king. He nodded and looked at Erwin.
"Commander Erwin, your punishment for breaking the law is death. Take him away." The council member said.
Erwin, what are you doing? Is this how you want your life to end? Nile thought in his head.
Erwin looked at Nile and smiled. Nile raised his eyebrow in confusion. Then a female solider opened the door and gave them the emergency alert.
"Everyone, listen up! Wall Rose…has been breached! The colossal titan kicked the wall and titans came through destroying everything in their path! Then the armored titan came and broke through the gate! The people are coming here, right now!" The girl said.
"Bring in the people, here! We need to help as many as we can! Do it, now!" Pixis said.
"No! Close the gates! We cannot let anyone in here!" The council member said.
"What? B-But those people. They'll be killed." Nile said.
"You heard what Erwin said, a cilvil war may break out if things get out of hand! Now do as you're told and close the gates!" The council member said.
"No! I will not close the gates on those people!" Nile said.
"You fool! Disobeying orders is treason! You will be punished for this!" The council member said.
"That won't be necessary." The bearded man said.
"Darius Zackly. Did you get their reaction?" Pixis asked.
"Indeed. There is no breach at wall Rose. It was just a false alarm." Zackly said.
"What? What is this? What's going on?" The council member asked.
"The whole thing was staged. Your king is nothing but a fake pretender. You use him to deceive the people for your own personal gain. You people have broken the law and you will be punished for your deceitfulness." Erwin said.
"Ugh! Hey, wake up old man!" He kicked the chair.
"Oh, is it time to eat some food?" The old man asked.
"Shut up, you stupid fool!" The council member said.
"Untie him. Now." Nile commanded.
"Yes sir." Nile's soldiers said.
The king was removed from the thrown. The council members were arrested and thrown in jail. Erwin was free from the rope.
"Hey, why aren't you smiling? It's over. You won." Nile said.
"I'm thinking. Now that the king is removed from the thrown, I fear that, humanity might go down a dark path." Erwin said.
Later, Levi and his squad were given the news.
"The king was removed from his thrown. The scouts are no longer being targeted. We're free." Hanji said.
Everyone cheered. Armin held Annie close to him and kissed her. Sasha hugged Reiner and Bertholdt and kissed them. Carla hugged Mikasa and kissed her forehead.
"That's good. But, your men were killed by Kenny and his soldiers. I'm sorry." Levi said.
"It's okay, it's not your fault." Hanji said.
"She's right, Levi. It's not your fault they died. We just gotta make Kenny and his soldiers pay for what they did." Petra said.
Levi smiled at Petra. She smiled back at him. Then, they kissed.
"So, now that we're no longer being targeted, let's get back to rescuing Eren and Historia." Ymir said.
Levi walked up to the man and put his foot in his mouth.
"Now, answer me. Where are Eren and Historia?" Levi asked.
He moved his foot out of his mouth so the man can talk.
"Eren is being held underground and Historia is with her father. But you won't make it in time. Once the decision is made, it'll be too late to save Eren." The leader said.
Later, Eren woke up and couldn't move his body. He couldn't talk. His eyes widened at the place he was in.
What the heck? Eren thought in his head.
Historia came and smiled at Eren. He couldn't smile back at her, but he was happy to see her. Then her father came.
"Okay, Historia, we're alone now. It's time for you to become something greater." Rod said.
He opened his bag and grabbed out a case. Eren and Historia were shocked to see what it was.
Levi and his squad must save Eren and Historia before it's too late. Kenny and his squad are waiting for them to show up. When the battle begins, everyone will get their hands dirty.
