A week has passed as Cecelia looks up when hearing a call of a bird in the sky. She has her left forearm out and the bird is a beautiful and slender brown falcon with an orange-yellow stomach and silver wings that glint in the sun. She smiled as she gently stroke the wings: "Thank you Ayden. I see that you got a message for me?" She carefully got the letter that's rolled up like a scroll around the falcon's left ankle. She opened it up and it says this:

Yen Sid: "Cecelia...I have noticed of how much your magic has been increasing in a more positive matter. It could only mean that you are in love. It's considered the same that had happened to your mother Sayuri when she was your age. But please be wary. The Organization might become aware of this, since Erica is reunited with her brother Erwin. Be sure to guard your heart away from the darkness. Both you and Rika...I'm counting on you both. Best of luck as I have faith in you."

Cecelia made a quick yet thorough letter for Ayden to give to Lord Barta of Liones so he can pass it Yen Sid. She then kissed Ayden on the head after tying the scroll of her letter to fly back to the kingdom of Britannia. She has a certain mission to do and it has to do with the fact that she's the legitimate heiress to the throne. Some time later as the sun is still up in the sky, she joined with Eren and the others within the Levi Squad in this rural remote cabin. Ban and King stayed behind with them while the rest of the Seven Deadly Sins headed back to Britannia by the orders of the king of Liones. Cecelia didn't mind the cleaning as Ban was with Jean and Armin as well as Sasha to get some food. At the same time, King and Rika were assisting Mikasa and Christa on getting some firewood. Jean called out: "Hey Ban! What are you doing?" Ban answered with a chuckle: "Hey. I'm just taking off my shoes. I'm not about to walk in and bring in dirt all over the house." That would be Ban's best decision as Eren starts to yell at Jean: "Hey! Did you guys wipe off the mud off your shoes before you get in?!" Ban shook his head as he even made sure that his feet are thoroughly clean before walking in: "Looks like someone is in trouble." Jean groaned as he settled a heavy bag of potatoes on one of the wooden counters: "Are you kidding me? Can't you see all the stuff we'er carrying?" Eren shouted angrily as Ban was walking into the house and decided to help out with the cleaning: "You idiot! You really think an excuse like that is going to play with Captain Levi?! Bad enough that I have to make the bed for you this morning! Now, you pulled this crap?!" Jean shouted back angrily at him: "Oh shut it! What are you, my mom?!" King called out as even he and Rika came in: "We're back. We figured to get more firewood and help out Mikasa." Rika agreed as she nodded: "Yeah. Ever since what had happened, we do try to make sure that we could take it easy from here." Eren sighed as he said: "I sure hope so. If this Organization we certainly heard about knows about us, they might go after Cecelia. It is already obvious enough if they're not after Erica." Cecelia looks around and sees that everyone is rather tensed and stressed out in a way. Snapping her fingers, she emits her magic to play the piano that's recently repaired and she singed these words: ~I don't have time for dancing. That's just gonna have to wait awhile~ Jean asked Rika and King at that moment: "Don't tell me she's singing now, isn't she?" Rika giggled while floating above the floor: "She is...!"

Ain't got time for messing around
And it's not my style
This old town can slow you down
People taking the easy way
But I know exactly where I'm going
I'm getting closer, closer everyday!

And I'm almost there!
I'm almost there
People down here think I'm crazy!
But I don't care
Trials and tribulations
I've had my share
Ain't nothing gonna stop me now
'Cause I'm almost there

Somehow, this not only ease the tension in the air but also got the cadets to cleaning with a more cheerful mood as Ban is humming to the music while cooking dinner in the kitchen. Cecelia goes in between to help each cadet and even her childhood friend while continuing to sing this song:

I remember Daddy told me
"Fairy-tales can come true"
"You gotta make 'em happen, it all depends on you!"
So I work really hard each and every day
Now, things for sure are going my way
Just doing what I do!
Look out boys, I'm coming through!

And I'm almost there!
I'm almost there
People are gonna come here from everywhere
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there..!

Levi was wondering of why there are music coming from the cabin after being reported that Erica and Axel have moved elsewhere so the Organization wouldn't find them. He starts to walk in forward as Cecelia singed out to finish the song:

There's been trials and tribulations
You know I've had my share...

But I've climbed the mountain
I've crossed the river
And I'm almost there
I'm almost there

I'm almost there!

Eren and the others witnessed Cecelia hitting the last note strongly yet beautifully before the piano keys ended the song. The cabin is not only thoroughly clean, but Ban is almost done with dinner as Levi walks inside. Everyone got silent for the moment as Levi used his hand to check for anything left unclean. But when he sees that his hand didn't pick up any sort of dust, he looked over and responded: "I'm quite certain that you all have done just enough. At least for now. No mishaps or anything...Cecelia? I want to report to you and Axel has moved himself and Erica to the kingdom of Liones. It's in case the Organization tries to come here again to find her." Cecelia sighed in relief with a smile on her face. Ban called out: "Hey Captain Levi! Dinner is almost about done in a bit." Levi said to the Fox's Sin of Greed: "It's a little too early for that. But I suppose that it can't be helped because we have a mission to discuss." Sasha came running up the stairs and said out: "Captain Levi! There's someone in Cecelia's bedroom!" Cecelia hurried over with the head start due to having a feeling that someone who was looking for a shelter might be in that room. As soon as she opens the door, she sees this girl who is likely around fifteen years old but shorter with her long light lavender hair and ivory-pink skin with magenta colored eyes as she looked up. She was wearing her pink dress, matching colored shoes, and her pink beret hat. Cecelia's eyes widened as she seemed to recognize the girl: "Azmaria? Is that you?" The girl who's called out as Azmaria cried a bit as she ran forward: "Cecelia!" Cecelia opened her arms and hugged the young girl who was sobbing a bit while patting her head. Levi asked when he entered into the room: "Do you know this girl, Cecelia?" She answered as she kept Azmaria close to her: "Yes Captain Levi. She's my sister. We're not related by blood, but it doesn't matter to me as it's the bond by heart that counts." Levi nodded his head and headed outside to tell the others what's going on. When the day got to nighttime, Azmaria spoke up to make a short introduction: "Hello everyone. I'm Azmaria. I have recently become Cecelia's sister for a long while now." Ban grinned as he got her the bowl of stew that he made: "Aren't you now? Welcome to the team, Azmaria!" Cecelia starts to tuck Azmaria into bed after getting ready to sleep for the next day. Levi waits for her to come into his room and he held her in his arms. He said as he's lightly stroking her hair: "I may be your superior officer, but I'm also your lover. If anything happens to you, I would rather be damned in Hell to prevent it from falling upon you." She said softly when looking into his eyes: "We can't prevent even the toughest of circumstances. But I know that you would do everything in your power to protect me. I already know you well enough." He grinned and then kissed her softly on the lips before holding her closely in his arms to sleep.

The next morning arrived as the cadets are leaving the cabin. The plan is to ensure trust and hope within the people of the Trost District. Somehow, it works rather quickly for a few reasons. The first is that she brings out the given Redemption Keyblade that even the citizens in Trost would know. The second of which is most obvious is of her eyes. The only ones to have the eyes of water's beauty was Sayuri Miyamoto who was formerly a queen. From the rooftop, Levi has Ban and King accompanying him. Rika insisted on Azmaria staying with the fairies because she knows how much Cecelia cares about her adopted sister. She knows because her other half-brother Riku would have done the exact same thing. Levi couldn't even stop ALexandra from comig along with him. He started to think back of the conversation before the mission:

Levi asked as Cecelia puts on a silver cloak: "Are you sure that the people will believe you?" Cecelia answered: "The legend says that the daughter of Lord Ryu and Lady Sayuri is the only princess born with the eyes of water to wield the Key of Redemption. Once it's seen by a few, a lot more will follow. I know that I'm taking a bit risk. But I can't just let the people suffer under the false king. And if this 'king' is Rod Reiss, he is who we must stopped." He walked over to her and held her close. He then lifted her chin a bit to look into her eyes and said, "Please be careful. I love you..."

Suddenly, something doesn't feel right and shouted: "Ban! Look out-!" The gunshot was fired and the bullet blasted Ban in the face, but Levi is more in shock of what happened next. Ban looked like he was about to fall backwards but straightened back to his usual slouch and his face is completely healed from the gunshot! As for Alexandra, she was saved when King conjured the Pollen Garden's barrier to shield away more gunshots. The attacker chuckled while walking forward: "Well now! This is not something you see everyday. But that just mean that things have just gotten more interesting!" Alexandra growled and charged in forward: "Kenny!" King didn't have much of the time to react but took off in the air as he flies. This attacker is indeed Kenny Ackerman who taught both Levi and Alexandra how to survive in the Underground District when they were children. But he abandoned them for no reason and that is something that Alexandra can't and might not forgive him for. Levi quickly followed suit alongside his sister when using his gear. That was when they're both being chased by Kenny and his entire squad who has the same type of omni-directional mobility gear but works differently as their own are for their guns instead of blades. King channeled his magic into his Sacred Weapon and said as it starts to transform: "Spirit Spear Chastiefol! Fifth Configuration: Increase!"The Spirit Spear transformed into an enormous set of kunai blades as he sends them out forward. This destroyed the gears to where Kenny's own squad cadets would fall from the high grounds one by one to three at one time. In what seemed to be a high-speed chase, Levi and Alexandra hid into a nearby bar to hide. Ban and King followed suit and one of the customers said in shock: "T-That's the Undead Ban! The Fox's Sing of Greed! And he's with Captain Levi and Commander Alexandra?! And that's the Fairy King too!" King said when peeking over the bar: "Captain Levi? This man who attacked us is on his way. What are we going to do?" Ban chuckled and stood up from where he is as he said this: "Come on, King. Leave everything to me. Just turn the bottle a bit as I get him to talking." King was just about to argue but stopped when he heard Kenny saying from outside: "I thought I smell a rat. Come on out here, you little rodent." As soon as he enters into the bar. he saw a hard liquor in a bottle being tossed to him and he caught it with his right hand. He looks up and Ban says out with his mug of beer in his hands as well: "Hey there. You look a little tense up, so that drink is on the house on me." Alexandra's mind thought of this going on: "If Kenny starts to be all cheery, this Ban must be really good on getting him to let his guard down. If not...god. Please work."

Kenny chuckled and smirked when drinking the liquor that he knows it's from this bar by brand: "You pretty much got that right. So! Is it true? You're this Fox's Sin of Greed that everyone has been talking about? Apparently, you and these Seven Deadly Sins are quite like the heroes for this kingdom at Britannia." Ban answered: "Yeah that's right. I decided to travel a bit with the Captain and the others. Speaking of traveling...if you don't mind m asking, what have you been up to?" Kenny chuckled and drank a bit more: "Well! Just doing my job while getting a kick off from something that I do for fun. And from the moment I saw your face being blown from a gunshot and you healed back fast, I knew right away that you are one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Not that I'm complaining. I just didn't think that even you would ever exist in the first place because-" Ban finished his sentence with a grin: "-because it seems like it's not real because it's magic?" Kenny laughed as he placed his hand on Ban's shoulder: "Exactly! I just got one question for you here. Do you know of the princess I keep hearing around?" Ban responded with a chuckle: "That depends on who you are talking about because there are three princesses that I know and they are from Britannia." Kenny laughed a bit and replied: "Alright, you got me there. Then answer me this. Have you ever heard of Princess Cecelia?" Ban answered just as King was holding his breath: "I can't say that I have. Maybe, my friend Yume would know or something?" Yume is the given "name" for Cecelia when there was this fighting tournament at Britannia's Vaziel town. He quietly motioned the index finger of his left hand behind his back to say "turn to the bottle to have a better view. Levi did just that and silently motioned Alexandra to position the bar's shotgun to fire on his mark. Kenny sighed and started to look around: "Listen. I know that you are with Levi and her little sister Alexandra. But somehow, I don't feel like you're lying to me about it. I mean come on! You are the Fox's Sin of Greed and you're like some kind of a hero on the other side of the world! So just between you and me, I am hired by this government to kill this Princess Cecelia. However, I just might have a slight change of mind or change of heart. She seems like an angel sent from heaven to save an old bastard like me. But I do wonder if the little runts would forgive me, especially when I was killing most for living out a moment to the fullest. And about that princess, I heard that she's elegantly as hot as Hell. I would like to be the judge of it myself if I see her. Maybe, I can even clean out my act if I can have her."

Levi was already feeling angry from mind spoke as he thought to himself: "First, he is hired to kill Cecelia but doesn't know what she looks like except from the rumors? Then, he seems delusional to clean his act. And now, he's expecting Alexandra and myself to forgive him?" Then, he said this to Kenny: "Like Hell you would have your filthy hands on her." This is when the shotgun blast went right through Ban's chest and the impact of the shot blew Kenny right out of the bar. Ban has stolen something from inside Kenny's shirt and looked into it quickly. He grinned as his chest healed up quickly and said to even Alexandra before taking off at the back: "I'm taking the back alleyway. It's the quickest to get to the wagon where Eren is!" Levi nodded and said to the bartender before giving back the shotgun: "Thanks for the help, old man." The cadets that surrounded the bar began to pull their triggers, but they're in shock as King brings out the Pollen Garden by magic. One of the cadets gasped in awe: "Is that...the Fairy King?" Before he would have time to process this, Levi fires a grappling hook at one of the soldiers as he's using him as a shield against a barrage of shots from the two other soldiers. Before they are able to reload, Alexandra rushes between them and she ends up slicing them apart with her blades. On the other side, the wagon of which Eren and Christa who is later known as HIstoria were hiding. The one who's controlling the horses as Anastasia as she insisted on joining the mission despite being the newest member of the Seven Deadly Sins. Just as one of the cadets from Kenny's squad was about to shoot her into the head from behind, this is when Ban showed up out of nowhere by jumping down and slamming in for the kick on that soldier's back. He then said this before stealing that soldier's gear: "Guess you don't need this anymore. Have a nice landing!" That same soldier was lucky to land into the fruit stand nearby, but his back is likely dislocated from the kick for now. Anastasia called out: "Ban! It's about time at last you showed up! Where are Levi and the others?" Ban chuckled: "Just relax. King is already protecting the Ackerman siblings as we speak." As for the remaining of Kenny's squad, they decide to back away and Eren sighed in relief. Armin wondered in confusion: "Why didn't they keep on the pursue?" Jean scoffed and responded: "Isn't it obvious? They must have known about the Seven Deadly Sins since about a few days ago on the sidelines. So if they do, they would know better than to get to us."

Back at the bar, Kenny was getting up as if he was unscathed. He apparently have those bullet-protection kind of vest under his collard shirt. He chuckled while fixing his hat: "The brat got me good. I forgot that bar owners are allowed to keep guns to protect themselves. Looks like the two runts grew up more than I can figure. Especially with the rumors about the Seven Deadly Sins being true after all." A female cadet named Caven said as she was standing a few inches beside him: "Sounds lovely sir." Kenny remarked at that point: "Like Hell! The boy's a thorn in my ass, not to mention his bratty twin sister Alexandra. My dream is slipping further and further away." By now, Cecelia has more than half of the citizens to believe that she will be the better ruler for the Walls and Districts as she has shown enough proof of her existence. The mission seems to go well enough as she was the last to make it back with the group. What no one knows is that Rod Reiss in an unknown manor was talking to someone in particular...and that visitor was Xemnas the Superior of the In-Between.
