Chapter 31
Betrayal. A word that hurts as much as the weight of a sword under Rivaille's shoulders.
Shame and contempt.
A person who once had everything now fears for what he can not see.
Five days have passed since his arrest. He only knew that because he can count the times that the prison guards handed him food, food that he had to fight with the rats to get it.
His beautiful and adorned robes are now nothing more than rags, the promises he whispered at night with Eren in his bed now seemed so far away, the noble can no longer feel the warmth of Eren in his arms and his memories were always painful.
Hanji promised that he would be safe, that she would keep him away from his enemies... but he feared that this would not occur.
.
The lamp flickered a small part of the evening place, leaving a nauseating smell, along with the prisoners who were there, the putrid smell of death and abandonment.
Cadenced steps stopped in front of the cell and looked firmly to Rivaille and put a handkerchief on his nose to avoid feeling the odor of that disgraceful place.
'Bastard' Their eyes met for a second 'I'll kill you with my bare hands'.
'You need to worry about your safety first... I have a plan and unfortunately you had to be part of it.' Irvin spoke softly.
'Do not touch Eren or...'
'Or?'
'I will not leave you alone.'
'There is only one way for you to save yourself. I need you to survive until tomorrow.'
'Tomorrow?' His eyes widened in the dark, but the nobleman turned his face down when Irvin tried to touch him through the bars 'Do not tell me...'
Before he finished his sentence Irvin walked away as if nothing had happened.
The noble did not know how many hours he slept, or if everything was just a nightmare... a bad nightmare, then he would wake up in silks looking at the boy with two green orbs smiling at him.
His hand automatically touched his arm and felt nothing more than a presence there, it was as if he could not feel anything from Eren anymore. The touch of warmth had emptied for so long.
.
He suddlely heard the noise of drums and voices, the guards were smiling and drinking together.
Rivaille frowned. He will survive to save Eren.
One of the guard approached his cell and turned the face in a mocking gesture.
'How this place smells so bad? Neither the animals will want to be close to you like this.'
The other men started laughing and kicked a piece of dry bread with their feet toward the bars.
'Who knew that we would see a noble here... we must kneel or kill that boy that everyone talks about?
Without thinking he advanced against the bars and let out a low growl, biting the guard's ear so hard that he yanked, feeling for a moment the taste of blood.
The other guards entered the prison running, pointing their spears for a solitary figure who had blood dripping from his mouth.
'We Will kill you, even if you survive you will die in our hands.'
A small smile pierced his face, his delirious eyes shining.
'Try.'
.
Irvin frowned and thought for a moment as he feasted with the banquet.
Several candlesticks illuminated the tables, he glanced at the emperor's face, Pixis, sitting on a higher platform... it would be difficult to try something against him, not at that moment with all those people around.
His attention was changed to a conversation among some nobles. He looked at servants running at a stunning speed... maybe in the next few years he will be sitting under king's throne, it's his rightful place for begin with.
'I would love to see Mikasa fight, she is unbeaten for years... only someone extraordinary like her can overcome it.'
The king stopped eating and everyone at the table fell silent.
He spoke softly.
'We have a new guest who can make a show for all of us, my lady.'
The noise of the people increased and almost no one can hear the bugle announcing the prisoners who would fight in the combat arena that evening.
