"The sacrifice of queen Frieda was definitely the most important factor that attributed to Eldian freedom. Not only, has she broken the chains of the first king, but also, she made sure that the nation became truly free, by defeating our enemies and protecting our people. Whereas, her personal actions had been atrocious, her rule marked the period of both stability and rapid change. In a weird way, those impressions which naturally exclude each other, have become true marks of her reign…"
"Daddy!"
The voice of his daughter brought Eren out of his focus. As he looked up from the manuscript, he saw that Annika was impatiently jumping around in the doorway.
"Come on daddy! You'll be late!" The girl exclaimed.
The young man smiled at that. Today, was the day that he and Historia would finally marry. It really seemed like everything had turned out for the better, given that the enthusiastic spirit of progress engulfed the entire Eldian empire. People were very fond of their newfound freedom and the industry was growing at an extremely fast rate.
"A groom cannot be late to his wedding, darling" Eren responded, before closing the draft and walking over to Annika.
It's been something he was working on, for quite some time now. One day, a thought had appeared within his mind, that sometime in the future, his daughter would come to hate her mother, which she loved deeply, even to this day. Since, he didn't want Annika to remember one of her parents as a despicable criminal, he had decided to write a book which described the late monarch's rule in detail.
"Let's go, sweetie" the young father spoke with a smile as he took his daughter's hand in his.
A lot had changed in their lives. For instance, they were living in the royal palace, at last. Historia had decided that it would be all better for them and while Eren did miss the farm, this place was way better, given that his betrothed was the queen.
The wedding was taking place in the newly constructed royal chapel. In the past, there was never really anything of sorts there, but Historia specifically ordered for it to be built. Her reasoning behind it, was to thank the watchful gods from above and allow the royal court to pray in peace. Also, the young man suspected that she really just wanted to have a wedding like one of those from her childhood stories, that Frieda used to read her.
"Okay darling, you know what to do" the young father instructed his daughter, once they were in front of the big doors, leading to the chapel.
The girl just nodded at him with a wide smile.
"Good luck, daddy!" She said, before running off in the direction of the second entrance.
When he was finally alone, Eren sighed audibly.
"Feeling jittery?" He suddenly heard from behind.
Upon turning towards the voice, he noticed that his two old friends were standing there.
"I guess" Eren responded "everything changed so quickly…"
He looked over Mikasa and Armin.
His adoptive sister was visibly pregnant. It wasn't long after her own wedding, with Floch Forster and seeing her so happy in a day so important to him, was extremely calming.
Armin on the other hand, looked like a true businessman. With a top hat on his head and an elegant attire the blonde was wearing, he really gave off a feeling of a visionary and industrialist that he truly was.
"Eren" the oriental female spoke with tears in her eyes, before throwing herself at him.
As the young groom hugged the girl, he looked Armin in the eyes.
"We'll always be here for you, you know?" The blonde said slowly.
"Yeah, I know."
"Have you finally decided what the title will be?" Mikasa whispered, referencing his manuscript.
"Yes" the young man responded "A God of the People…"
After releasing Mikasa, Eren took a deep breath and opened the door.
There, she was standing.
Opposite of him, waiting in front of the altar.
She was just as beautiful as in the moment he fell in love with her, yet this time, she seemed to have quite the special aura around her.
He walked slowly towards her.
Right now, it was only him and her, there. Everyone else didn't matter.
Eren looked around the altar, and noticed that aside from Historia, Annika was also standing there, holding the wedding rings in her small hands.
Once he made it over to the altar, he grabbed a ring from his daughter and took Historia's hand.
His queen looked at him in wonder. So much has happened between them. Ever since he met her, his life had changed in an incredible way.
Slowly, he put the ring on one of her small fingers.
After that, Historia reached out to Annika and took the other one from the girl.
As she put in on his finger, the crowd of people, which for the young man seemed to have appeared just now, cheered loudly.
The festivities took up a greater part of the day. The people from all around the Eldian empire travelled to the capital to see the new, royal couple. The children ran around, the women wailed from happiness, the men applauded... Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves on that very day.
All day long, they've danced, sung and feasted on the different foods from around the world. It was really amazing to indulge in all this.
Yet, someone was missing from this picture. Someone very important, both to Eren and to Historia.
Eventually, the sun had set, and the royal couple came back to the palace.
"Well," Eren spoke as he was walking alongside Historia "my wife. What are the plans for tonight?"
The blonde just smiled at him. Sensing that she had prepared something, the young groom just went along.
Finally, they reached the door to their new bedroom. Every wedding has to have the finale and it was high time it came to this.
Yet, Eren never expected what he found inside.
"Took you long enough" Ymir exclaimed as she stretched on the bed.
The young man widened his eyes at this sight. The freckled female was there, however the outfit she was wearing left little to nothing for his imagination.
"Ymir…" he exclaimed apprehensively "what's going on…?"
Then, another unusual thing happened.
Historia walked over to the bed, got into the other female's embrace and kissed her deeply, on the lips.
Eren had to admit… No sights that he had ever seen, made him more energetic than this one just did. Seeing the two loves of his life in each other's arms like that, was truly refreshing.
After a few moments, the queen separated from the concubine.
"The two of us have agreed to become a triangle" Historia explained with a sly smirk.
"Yeah, and there is no triangle without the third party" Ymir spoke, motioning for him to come closer.
As he walked over to the bed, he thought how lucky he must've been, to have two beautiful women in his life.
"Both of us want you Eren" Historia said.
"Both of us want a family with you, too…" Ymir added, with a slight shade of pink on her cheeks.
The things have surely turned up for the better. The two of them finally made up and apparently, from then on, they would all just become one, big, happy family.
"I think I like the sound of that" Eren responded, sitting down on the bed.
First, he kissed his new wife. Their kisses were always like a soft breeze on a sunny day. Soft and angelic, however still holding all the pent-up emotion, that Historia had from being the monarch.
Then, when the two separated, he turned to Ymir and kissed her next. The freckled female was always more fun of the two. The likable roguishness and intensity that her kisses possessed were something that the young man cherished greatly.
After what felt like hours, he finally parted his lips from the freckled female's and sat back on the bed with a content smile.
"Let's all just love each other…"
And so, they did.
THE END
Author's Note
Hello everyone, once again!
First of all, I want to thank all my readers. You guys are awesome! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be making those fanfics.
Thank you for all your kind words, all your reviews and all your DMs! The activity seemed to be much higher under this story, than my previous one, despite 'A God of the People' being less popular. Nonetheless, all your words of support are greatly appreciated.
I am deeply sorry about my writing ethic. I've been going through a rough time, ever since August and this have definitely had its impact on the frequency of my uploads. I haven't checked the numbers, yet, but I am still sorry. I wanted to make it another daily fanfic, like 'Attack on Dina', but I am aware that I have failed miserably.
I have no other excuse for it, other than my college and studies which resumed their normal courses in October. It's really hard to put out chapters daily and still be able to do all my important work.
Nevertheless, thank you for reading till the very end! Regarding my future plans, I already have an idea for my next fanfic, but I am always open to suggestions. My next work will probably see the light of day in the next year.
Once again, thank you, and have a nice day!
