Hidden
Chapter 6: Family Reunion
"Excuse me?" The captain of the Survey Corps was flabbergasted. He was processing what the elder man had just said. What the fuck is this?! Levi's mind was full of skeptical thoughts. First, it's when he found out Kenny was his uncle, Kuchel's brother. Now, this estranged older man who decided to play some fucked up joke.
"Is this some shitty joke you're trying to pull to saving your pathetic skin?" His jaw was tight from clenching his teeth from suppressing his anger. "I understand you're in disbelief, but I'm really your grandfather, Levi. I've been searching for you for many years." William looked into Levi. For years, he and a few of his fellow assassins were searching for his eldest's only child. William Miles was a man who had it all. Family. Friends. Home. His dedication to the Creed as an assassin. Now he lost not just one son but another before his youngest, Desmond who sacrificed himself to save the world from a catastrophic event that could wipe out humanity.
HIs oldest son, Jacob Miles, was a prodigy as an assassin. He was loyal, dedicated, honorable, but Jake was blunt and won't hesitate to use necessary methods to get results. This grown boy definitely reminded him of Jake. Bill aka William remembered when he found the letter from his late eldest son about he had a child with a spunky woman with ebony silky hair and stormy eyes and pale complexion skin tone. The Mentor Assassin had used the resources to find Levi. Finally, he found him. Bill promised to himself that he wouldn't fail as a grandfather as he had failed as a father for his sons. His wife who recently passed away from a broken heart from the loss of another son, didn't forgive him for pushing her babies to their deaths.
William watched carefully the way Levi was having an internal conflict. "Why should I believe your words? You were with the Jeagerist. They kidnapped Queen Historia. Right at the moment, I want to use blades on the brothers." The raven haired man still glared like daggers to his so called grandfather. "I don't associate myself with those Jeageist followers, but I am a member of the Assassin Brotherhood of U.S. There's many branches all over the world expected on this side of the continent. We never had gone beyond further expanding here." William explained as much as he could.
"Then why were you there with Zeke and his followers?" The captain continues interrogating more questions. "I overheard this Zeke Jaeger guy was talking about you and that caught my interest to get near them. I guess I got lucky because I finally found you." Levi doesn't know what to do with this information. He'll have to talk to Four Eyes about this. At least this William Miles guy finally talked. "Well you're in luck. I'm going to convince my commander to take you with us to our Headquarters instead of giving you to the MPs to investigate all that you told me." Levi let go his hand from Bill's collar. He wanted to leave since he doesn't want anything to do with his biological father or his family. Levi grew up without the knowledge of his dad. His mother never mentioned him, but there was that time Levi asked her about him and she just became quiet while facing away from Levi. He did see tears coming from her, so he never bothered to ask his mother again about his father because it was too painful for his mother to talk about.
The short man was convinced his birth father was a dickhead who used his mother and never acknowledged them both. His eyes turned to look at the elder man one more time to see any family resemblance in him. Tch, what resemblance does he have with this stranger? He's taller than him and tan skin toned too. "I have a picture of your father before he passed away." Bill said but Levi scoffed. "Picture? You mean those photo things that the Marleyans use to preserved memories?" At the same time, the grey eyed man was curious to see how his father looked. His inner child screams in saying yes. HIs pride shut that feeling down because it's pointless now.
"Yes, a photograph. Aren't you curious about anything about Jacob?" William tried to persuade him. His estranged grandson was one stubborn man. Most of the Miles were stubborn and prideful. He also wanted to be untie without provoking Levi into thinking he's the enemy. The man in front of him was capable of being vicious if it's necessary. His grey eyes looked silver when this Queen Historia's life was in danger. Probably, his grandson has strong feelings for her. Will the mentor assassin be allowed to meet this young queen?
"No. I lived for most of my life without knowing my father. I can live the rest of my life without acknowledging him." Levi was done with this conversation. He just wants to leave this place and go to the palace to be with his wife while sipping a good cup of tea. This was all still too much for him yet he still needed to worry about Zeke and Eren Jaeger from making sure they won' try to kidnap Historia again. Levi needed to go back to make sure she's safe and not stressing herself out. "Will you at least consider it, Levi?" The American Assassin pleaded with the Survey Corps captain. "Tch." Levi tsked then walked away from the stable. He called a couple of his comrades to guard the assassin. Right now, he needed to go to see Hange first then to his queen.
Commander Zoe Hange was in her room while reviewing documents as the sound of a knock on her door was heard. "Four Eyes, it's me." Oh? That was quick for him to finish torturing the hostage. Just when she was about to speak, the door was already open then closed with a bit of force. "Did you find something intriguing from one of Zeke's followers?" The dark haired woman glanced up to the captain.
"You can say that, but he has no association with that Beast Titan and his followers." Levi doesn't know if it's important to tell his commander about the old man is his supposedly grandfather on his paternal side. Hange looked closely to see something was bothering Levi. She felt concerned for her friend. "Levi, what's bugging you? If you're worried about Historia, don't worry we'll make sure she will be heavy guarded safe. Anyone tries to harm her, they will meet their ends." She comforted him with her words.
"I'm also worried about that too but that's not the main reason why I'm feeling confused…" He goes lean by the wall. "I found out he's my grandfather on my father's side. I never knew that bastard father of mine and yet, his dad decided to find me for years. Oh and get this, apparently he's an assassin of some weird shit cult." His chuckles were dark. "I don't want to believe everything he had said but my gut feelings were telling me he was telling the truth. Fuck, he's not even from this continent! I feel the potential war with Marley and the Alliances is the least of our worries. I think something much bigger will come for all mankind." Hange was shocked from what Levi told her. She was now curious who this mysterious assassin claimed to be Levi's lost grandfather? Maybe this man will be key to protecting Paradis from the world. Paradis needed an ally. If she lay the right cards, this will be a game changer.
"Hey Shitty Glasses, are you lost in your weird thoughts?" Levi interrupted her train of thoughts. "Huh? Oh, sorry. I'm just shocked as well. We'll have to convince the Premier to have custody of our potential ally." She grins. Levi glared at his higher up. "What are you planning in your crazy head, Four Eyes?" Hange stared into his eyes which she gave off that specific expression when she either discovered something beneficial for the Scouts or any Titan related experiments. "If we learn more of these assassins, we can form alliances not just for war but to start expanding our economy. Don't you see, Levi! This foregin man is not from any of the nations that demonized us, Eldians. When we captured him, he had very advanced objects that not even Marley, Hizuru, or any of the nations were victims of the TItan wars that had. This will save Historia's reign and your descendants who'll rule this Isle." She smirked. Levi absorbs the plan Hange explained.
"As long as my family is going to grow up without fear of being eaten by a Titan or getting killed by nations of this continent, then you have my support." In several months, his unborn child will be born in this shitty world, so Levi wanted to do everything he can to make sure this world is a safe place for his and Historia's baby. Huh, is this what fatherhood feels like? Doing whatever it takes to make sure your child will grow up in a happy and safe environment? "Trust me, you have my word. I want this dream as much as you do. Levi. I missed my siblings and my parents. That's why we have to do whatever it takes to make it happen." Hange rarely mentioned her family to him. Like Levi, she was a private person when it comes to her personal life. Only he and Erwin had the privilege to know more who Hange really is. "Alright since we have a plan now, I will inform the queen and we'll head out to Mitras." Hange nodded and dismissed the captain. Levi went to the room where Historia resided.
The captain knocked the door and a soft sound came from inside giving him the permission to enter. As he opened the door, Historia was sitting on the bed while the doctor from last night was checking on her health. The doctor was pleased that everything was stable. "Your Grace, you and the baby are strong. Usually a pregnant woman who was in your situation from yesterday night, they would by now miscarriage the unborn child. You're very lucky, you're highness. Please heed my advice and rest more for your sake." The doctor's tone was concerned for the young queen.
"Don;t worry doctor. I'll make sure she gets plenty of rest at the palace." Levi walked towards them. Historia sighs in annoyance. The doctor looked at the queen and captain. "That's reassuring." The honey brown haired man smiled as he nodded while packing his things. "If anything odd symptoms happen, please go see your usual doctor that's in charge of your pregnancy. As for now, you're fine so I shall leave you be. Have a safe trip back to the palace, You're Majesty and Captain Levi." The doctor carried his bag and bowed to the queen then left the room.
Historia and Levi waited until the door closed. Historia glanced at her husband. "Levi, I brought something for you to eat since you didn't get a chance to have breakfast." The raven haired man sits next to his wife on the bed. "Thanks, but I'm not hungry." All Levi wanted was tea and to pretend what the old man told earlier did reached his ears. Historia noticed certain details on Levi's expression was full of stress and cupped her hands on his cheeks to have him facing her. "Hey, what's wrong? Did something happen when you interrogated the prisoner?" He took a deep breath then exhaled out the air.
"The prisoner that I met was apparently my grandfather from my father's side. I don't know how I feel about this anymore. What I learned from that old man, he's not from this Isle. Heck, I don't think he's from Marley either. He said, he's an assassin; but came here to look for me, which he got lucky from encountering the Jeagerists." Historia gasped when the news of a lost long relative of Levi was revealed. "Levi, how does that make you feel? You seem this is not true. Have you ever met your father?" Her hand reached to his hand to gently squeeze it to comfort her husband. "No, I never bother to meet my father, beside it's too late for that; the old man had implied he's dead. My mother never mentioned my dad nor my grandfather. I think he met my mom before or probably my father mentioned to his dad about my mom in a letter." Historia listened to Levi as his vulnerability was showering.
"I think you should try to get to know your estranged grandfather. He probably knows the truth of whatever had happened between your parents. You said he was looking for you? Then I think he wants to get to know you as you're the only child of his dead son." She encouraged him to pursue this long lost grandfather. Levi only made a tch sound as he doesn't know if it's worth it.
"What if he turns out fucked up and hurt you and our little brat?" His grey eyes stared into Historia's blue eyes. "I feel he won't be some pathetic asshole who will use you to get his own agenda." The queen tone became dark from remembering how her reunion with her estranged father outcome was. All her hopes in wanting to be loved by one of her parents had shattered when her own father never loved her either. She was nothing but just a tool for her family legacy as a royal.
The captain remembered the battle to rescue Historia and Eren from Rod Reiss. He fought his uncle, Kenny Ackerman. Levi was in bloodlust mode when they kidnapped Historia. God, he was willingly to annihilate anyone who was in the way from rescuing her. It was also that day he told her 'I love you'.
"I'll try to get to know him. Beside, Shitty Glasses wants to have him under our custody to know more about wherever the fuck he's from because he got advance devices that we could have a potential ally not just war but for our ecomony as well." He said. Historia was lost in her thoughts. They need to catch up with the rest of the world as their technologies are way out of date. As queen it's her job to put what's best for her country. "Hopefully this grandfather of yours won't be a disappointment." Levi sighed and contemplated it.
Later that day, everyone already packed up and took their horses to ride back to the capitol in Wall SIna. Most of the Survey Corps were on alert if any Jeagaerists popped out and ambushed them. The queen was riding on one of the horses closer to Levi and his squad protecting her. She glanced at behind where the prisoner, William Miles was on the horse behind Hange who was riding the horse. The older man noticed the young queen stared at him which he also did the same. Historia looked away quickly which Bill chuckled. The older prisoner turned his face at the commander. "So I heard you're the commander of this section army." Hange focus on the man behind her. "This regiment is known as the Survey Corps. We explore and most of the time; we fight titans to protect humanity." Her eyes move to focus on the dirt road that led to the city of Mitras. William was bored so he continued to ask more questions. "What are titans that you speak of?" As an assassin he wanted to know more about this isolated country. "They are monstrous giants that eat humans but what we learned they were once humans that turned into these beasts by a serum was developed from our enemy nation across the sea. I assume you never encountered one before?" The one-eyed patch woman said as she's trying to analyze this strange man. "No, I never had encountered these titans." He responded to her. She smirks as her head turns a bit for him to see it. "The longer you stay on this island, you'll encounter one and you'll know what i mean about them." William found whether he should be concerned for himself and his men who are wandering around the island in disguise.
Couple of hours instead an hour had taken for the Survey Corps to reach the capitol with the queen. The people cleared the road pathway for the soldiers to gallop to the palace. The crowds stared at their queen who looked beautiful and majestic. Praises were shouted and Historia smiled then waved to the people. Some shouted to the heros that took part in retaking Wall Maria. Only Levi scoffed from the attention he was receiving. He can't wait to get to the palace.
Levi stirred his horse to get closer to Hange. "Hey Four Eyes, my squad and I are going to start going to the palace and we'll meet you the rest at the Court for getting the custody of this old man." He took a glimpse at his long lost grandfather. "You better not cause trouble old man or I won't hesitate to beat the shit out of you." He threatened the mentor assassin. "Son, you don't need to worry. I'll promise to be on my best behavior especially around with this lovely commander here." William grinned which Levi rolled his eyes. "Oi, I mean it and don't call me son. You're still a stranger to me." His cold tone shows how much resentment he has on anything related to his birth father, even this old man. Will became silent as the air felt tense.
The group split as only Levi's squad went further down the road to enter the palace's gates. The Mps greeted their queen. Historia is happy to finally be in a secure place after what had happened with Zeke and Eren last night. As the gates open, she and the squad get to the main entrance of the palace. She gets off from the horse and a stable boy takes her horse. Historia waits for Levi and the squad, but is greeted by a man with handsome features. Historia groaned unhappily seeing this pretty-faced man. "Your Majesty! Welcome back home. I heard what happened to you. It must be a terrible thing to happen to such a sweet innocent beauty like you, my queen." The man grabs her hand and gives a heart eyes expression at Historia. On the other hand, the air became intense as a certain captain isn't liking what he's seen. His squad noticed the awkwardness around them.
Historia feels like dying from an embarrassment. She can feel Levi's heated glare at the man. How dare that pretty boy act like he's courting his wife? Levi usually is a cool level headed man, but being with Historia it had unveiled his emotions that he worked so hard to control for years. The blonde beauty laughed awkwardly as she tried to release her hand from the other man's grip.
A few particular members of the squad were enjoying this way too much. "Hey Connie, how much do you bet the captain will kick this guy's ass?" Sasha whispered to her friend. Connie grinned. "Two mugs of ale and one hearty meal from the pub down the street of our Headquarter." He said. "I bet he'll scare the shit out of the poor noble guy which the guy will soil his pants." Both best friends giggled quietly so their captain and queen didn't hear them.
"Should we be doing something to make sure it doesn't escalate into the Captain getting in trouble by martial law?" Armin joined into the conversation of his peers. Mikasa and Jean gathered around the squad to listen.
Levi was trying to not grab his blades to 'accidentally' cut the man into tiny pieces. "You're Grace, you should try to rest. Let me escort you to your chamber." The man gave his dazzling smile to the petite woman. Before Historia could respond, Levi stepped in and removed both their hands away from each other. "It won't be necessary. As the queen's bodyguard, I will escort her to her chamber besides it would be improper." The male Ackerman tried to be calm and cool but you can hear a hint of venom in his tone.
"How dare you to touch me, peasant?! I'm a nobleman that's beneath you. I'm sure the queen prefers I escort her than the likes of you." The nobleman glared at the captain. Levi was ready to teach this pretty nobleman cunt who's he dealing with. The raven haired man grips the handle of his blade to pull it out. The silent took over. Historia was becoming annoyed. She decided to stop this nonsense at once. "Captain, I command you to put back your blade at once." Her tone wasn't soft and sweet like Levi was used to it. Of course, he obeyed his queen and put his blade back in. The nobleman smirked as the queen came to his defense to put back the captain into his place. Historia wasn't finished. She turned to the nobleman. "As for you Lord Evans, I will not tolerate your disrespect to Captain Levi as he's one of the heroes who helped retake Wall Maria and fought Titans to keep people like you safe. Any insults to him or the soldiers who serve this country is an insult to me, your queen. Do I make myself clear?" Everyone was shakening from her tone. This is the first that the Levi's squad members sees Historia use her authoritative voice. They were reminded this woman was a queen not the meek little soldier they knew.
Lord Evans was dumbfounded when the queen lectured him. How dare this usurper bitch lectured him? She should be grateful a fine nobleman like him gave his divine attention. The handsome lord felt his ego was bruised, but as for now this bastard is sitting on the throne. He will have to put aside his pride in order to execute his ambition to be king. The Evans are a secondary branch from the Royal family, the Fritzs during the time when the great walls were built. Reiss had died off when Lord Rod Reiss was murdered by his bastard daughter. Lord Nathaniel Evans will bring back the old ways. Eldia will stay isolated from the rest of the world as the Great King Fritz once did it.
"Understood, you're majesty. My apologies for disrespecting you and the captain." Lord Nathaniel kneels before the queen to show his submission. "Tch." Levi doesn't care for the nobleman's apology. All he wants to do is go to Historia's chamber and drink a nice warm cup of tea. "Good. Now, will you excuse me everyone? I need to go rest before my meeting later." Historia's expression changed back into the sweet innocent woman that everyone adored. "Captain? Will escort me to my chamber please?" She glanced at her husband. He stared at her and nodded. "Ok soldiers, go back to the Commander and I'll meet all of you at the court hall." The members of his squad nodded and started to get back on their horses to leave. Both the captain and queen walked into the palace until they reached inside the chamber. Once Historia closed the doors, Levi pulled her to him and captured her lips with his. Both married couples engrossed themselves in kissing passionately. Historia moaned softly while her hands eagerly unbuttoning his shirt. Her hands roaming on his bare chest. Levi growled quietly as his hands were busy wondering under her dress to grope her thighs and ass cheeks.
Her panting becomes shallower. They break their kiss, but Levi hungrily kisses her neck then begins to bite and mark her pale skin. Fuck it, he wants to leave his mark Historia. She is his, and he won't let some pretty boy try to take away the woman he loves. "Mmm L-levi…" The blonde queen whimpers. Her husband carried her to lay her back on the mattress. He got his tongue licking on her neckline which Historia spread her legs as her core became wet from her slick damping her panties. The captain still has one of his hands under her dress as he plays with her clothed intimate area.
Levi's fingers slide inside her panties to feel how soft and wet her crotch is. He begins to enter one finger into her hole while his thumb teasingly plays with her clit. "Ahh ahh my love!" Historia let out a squeal. "Shhh my queen, you don't want anyone to hear us?" He smirks. Historia is trying to not to let another moan escape. Her free hand makes way down where she can feel Levi's huge throbbing bulge. The queen rushly undone his belt and slides his pants a bit down for his cock to be free. The raven haired man chuckles and begins to nibble her earlobe. "My goddess, every detail of you is mine." Another growl is let out, but loud this time. "Your sweet lips." He devours her soft pink lips until they are swollen. "Mine." He focused on her neck again. "Your long graceful neck. Mine." Levi bite but hard on the same mark which Historia gasps and arches her back. Oh by the Walls, she loves the familiar stingy feeling that consumes her. She won't be surprised he would have drawn some blood, but Historia understands why Levi is being rougher than usually. His jealousy got the best in him. "Your perky breasts are meant to nurture my child." Levi pulls sleeves of her dress to lower down so her breasts are revealed to him. He begins to leave kisses on her breasts then suckling her nipples to increase the pleasure. Her hands are now on his hair to roam messily. "And here is where your wet pussy meant to be filled with my only seeds only." He rips her panties then positions himself to thrust his cock inside her which she moans loudly. "Oh Levi!"
Levi smirk in satisfaction while thrusting deeply into Historia. The queen feels ecstasy from Levi's performance. Her hands slide under his open button shirt then pierces her nails onto his back and claws down roughly to inflict a bit of pain. Levi growls from the pain which Historia uses the opportunity to grip his front throat and use one of the old techniques Historia learned during her cadet training years in hand to hand combat. She flips both of them where now Levi is on the bottom and Historia is on top saddling on his cock ready to be ridden on. The captain is astonished at what his wife is capable of doing. "Cat got your tongue my love?" The blonde woman smirked victoriously. Her hand is still on his throat choking him. Well shit this is the pay back he deserved when he choked Historia into forcing her to be a queen, but he is proud of her. At least all the training in her cadet years didn't go to waste.
Historia buckles down her hips to grind and roll her body as she feels his cock throbbing more inside her walls. Levi panting harder while gasping for air when Historia's fingers squeezes his throat. She changed her pace to bouncing on him. Her grip began to loosen from his throat which Levi could finally breathe. "Fuck woman, when did you learn that move?" His voice is raspy from being choked recently. "Did you use that on pretty boy?" He said sarcastically. The queen grunts in annoyance. "Levi, I love you but shut up. Let's just enjoy this, and don't you dare accuse me of being unfaithful to you." She glared at her husband. "Tch." He feels guilty for letting his insecurity accuse his wife. Historia leans to kiss softly his lips then move her lips to his jawline. "Your jealousy sometimes is adorable, but it hurts how you thought I would cheat on you. I love you so much, Levi Ackerman. I never had or will regret loving you. Do you understand?" Instead using her firm tone, she uses her soft sweet tone. Levi stares into the blue ocean eyes of his wife. "I understood perfectly, Historia Reiss-Ackerman." A smile forms from his lips and Historia responds with her sweet smile. Both couples didn't look away from each other as they resumed their love making.
By the time they finish, both Historia and Levi begin to dress up. "Are you going to the trial soon?" The queen glanced at her husband while fixing her dress. Levi was too focused on buttoning his shirt. "Hm, I am why?" He turned his attention to her. "You want to come huh?" He sighs. Historia nods. "I need to be there as queen, I have the right to present myself." Levi was ready to argue with her. "Plus, me being there with you will make things easy for you to guard me so it's a win-win." Damn. she's right. If he goes to the trial without guarding her, he'll be distracted from thinking any worst scenarios even having someone guarding her beside him.
"Fine, but don't lower your guard ok." The queen smiles then hugs her husband. Levi hugs her back. "I swear I'm getting softer from old age." He mumbles. "You're not that old, Levi." She giggles. "But I do like your soft side." He tsk then leads both of them to the doors. "Let's go brat before it starts without us."
(The Court Hall)
The room was crowded with soldiers from all three regiments. All you could hear was mumbling chatters from everyone. The queen was already sitting in her spot close to Premier Zackly. She looked around to see Levi with his comrades. Then the room got quiet when William Miles was dragged to be cuffed to the big pole.
"Alright shall we begin? Does this prisoner have a name? Prisoner, identify yourself." Daruis Zackly stared at the foreign man.
The assassin glanced up. "My name is Willam Miles, sir." While he and some of his assassins stayed in Paradis, they learned the Eldian language to blend into the crowds.
"I see you're not from here, William. Do you work for the Marleyans? Are you responsible to attempt an assassination on Her Majesty, Queen Historia of House Reiss?" As Zackly's booming tone echoed in the room, the crowd mumbled loudly. Some shouted "execute the prisoner!".
Hange frowned when most of the crowd wanted to see Willam dead. He maybe a foregin, but she knew this man was not the enemy. What Levi told her earlier, this man can help get allies what this nation needs for the war coming up.
"Levi, I think you should voucher your grandfather's life." Hange leaned close to Levi and whispered. The captain glanced at his commander. "I doubt Premier Zackly would send him to death. He's not Marleyan or a titan shifter."
Willam sighed as Premier Zackly commanded everyone to be silent. "Order! Order, everyone!" The crowd finally obey and quiet down.
"Answer the questions, Mr. Miles." Darius Zackly still focuses on the prisoner.
"No, I have no involvement with assassinating your queen. No, I am not working for Marley. I'm just a simple man visiting a lost relative." The mentor said then looked for a second at Levi which his grandson was glaring at him.
"I see, yet you were there when both the MPs and the Scouts were fighting the Jeagerists. Why were you there in the first place?" Darius still doesn't seem convinced. Historia was watching the trial with anxiousness.
"I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I was looking for a general store to buy a snack but my guest Paradis doesn't do 24 hour convenience stores like 7-Eleven." He chuckled. Everyone was confused when they heard convenient stores or 7-Eleven. Obviously, they never heard of such a 24 hour store.
"Is that a Marley thing?" one of the crowds said loudly.
"Where exactly you're from, Mr. Miles? Your accent is very odd." Commander Pixis of the Garrison Regiment spoke out. Everyone turned to stare at the elder commander.
"I'm from a different continental called North America. My nation is known as The United States Of America. You might or might not have heard of it. We're a Democratic-Republic government." More confusion had on majority crowd expressions.
"Is there such a thing? Are you sure you're not lying?" One of the Pastors looked at the mentor accusingly.
"I swear to you on my sons' souls. I am not lying, sir." Now Willam was getting annoyed. The crowds once again mumbled loudly.
Levi sighs in frustration. He peeks a glance at Historia who has been nervous since this man is related to Levi. She wants her husband to have the opportunity to get to know her grandfather. Maybe she also wants the unborn baby to have another blood-related member to be in its life.
"Fine, but if shit gets ugly, I'm blaming you, Four Eyes." He mumbled at the female next to him. Hange grinned happily. "Of course, Captain."
Levi Ackerman raised his voice a bit louder. "He is telling the truth!"
The place became quiet again as every eye stared at the raven haired captain. "What do you mean, Captain Levi?" Darius now focuses on the Scout captain.
"Before handing it to the military police, the commander and I researched if there was such a nation called the United States Of America. One of the Volunteers was there and showed us some photographs which show that they are much more advanced than what Marley has right now. That nation is one of the Superpower nations in the world. They have an advanced economy and military. There are others similar, but they rarely contact nations like Marley and Hizuru. Even Kiyomi Azumabito confirmed there's such nations with advanced technologies." He said.
Darius was intrigued by this information. "Hmm, then I will need to have a deep conversation with Ambassador Kiyomi. But for now, Mr. Miles, who is this relative you came to visit?"
"Levi Ackerman, my grandson." William grins while most of the crowds have a wtf look. Darius raises an brow then glances at the captain.
"Captain Levi Ackrman, is this man your grandfather? Why didn't you mention this earlier when he got caught?" The Premier was annoyed. He realized time was wasted.
"Sir, I just recently found out I have a grandfather this morning. I'm just as surprised as everyone here." Levi was annoyed by having to officially acknowledge his estranged grandfather.
Darius sighs and uses the small wooden hammer to bang on the surface of the podium. "Ackerman, he is your responsibility. If he does anything suspicious, I will have him locked up and sentence him to be executed. I won't care if he is your grandfather or not. This trial is officially dismissed." He bang the hammer again. He got up and bowed to the queen and left the room.
The crowds were mumbling while staring at Levi then William. The mentor assassin sighs in relief. Now one of the MPs, uncuff William from the pole. Levi and Hange go towards him. "This is so adorable. Both grandfather and grandson are reunited at last." Hange said dramatically.
Levi made a tch sound. William was rubbing his wrists where the cuffs were placed recently. "I'm glad you have finally accepted me, my boy." He smiled at his grandson.
"Don't get yourself ahead. By the way, you will stay in my room where my squad will keep an eye on you." He then took a sneak peek to see his wife was already being escorted by MPs.
William followed his sights where Levi was staring. Ah, it's the young queen. "What is she to you?" He boldly asked. Both Hange and Ackerman were still. They begin to walk out the room and keep walking through the hallways. The crowds left along the queen. Levi made sure no one was around before he finally spoke.
"She's my wife. We recently got married secretly. You better not say this to anyone or I won't hesitate this time to slit your neck." His tone became dark. Levi will protect Historia from anything. She and their unborn baby are his world.
William can see how the blonde woman means to his grandson. "You have my word, Levi beside her family. I and my fellow brotherhood will protect her if you allow it." The older man was serious. Levi was a bit skeptical, but he will try to test his truth on his grandfather's words. "Alright, you better keep your promise."
Hange's smile seeing her friend slowly accepting his grandfather. "Let's hurry back to the Headquarter. We have lots of talk about your home, Mr. Miles." Her thirst for knowledge has sparked her eyes.
"Yes of course, Commander Hange, but please you can call me William or Billy." His tone gave off a hint of flirtation again. The commander felt a small blush forming on her cheeks. "As our guest, you can call me Zoe." She winks at the American.
Levi was flabbergasted on those two getting flirty in front of him. What the fuck did just happen? They both pretend he's not there. Tch, he'll need to give a warning to his grandfather on trying to put a move on FOur Eyes. Levi may not told Hange this but he sees her not just a close friend but an sister.
