Only a few hours passed since Eren had proposed to the soon-to-be Queen, Frieda Reiss. Frieda was told to wait in her fancy room until the Coronation was finally ready for her. She had dressed herself up in a pair of white slippers, a thin white long-sleeved dress with a royal red cape over her shoulder. She stood in front of a long shiny mirror and looked at herself. She held the silver ring in her hand that Eren had previously given to her. She couldn't decide whether she should wear the the engagement ring to her Coronation or not. She also practiced smiling towards the people who acknowledge her.
Suddenly, there was a few knocks on her door.
"Queen Frieda. The Coronation is prepared. We are ready to escort you." said a masculine voice.
"Thank you very much!" Frieda replied while looking towards the door. Then she glanced down at the ring in her hand. Minutes later, she was escorted by less than a dozen military guards through the halls. She looked at the guards and was a little bummed to not see Eren being one of them escorting her. As soon as she walked towards the front doors of the castle, she was met by Captain Levi Ackerman.
"Are you ready to meet your adoring fans, Queen Reiss?" Levi had asked.
Frieda lightly gasped, then gave Levi a confident look. "Yes. I am."
"Good." Levi stood in front of Frieda, then opened the doors leading outside the castle for her. "Knock 'em all dead." He said as he gave Frieda room to walk outside.
Frieda had walked outside the castle doors, then paused as she saw hundreds of citizens cheering for her. Many soldiers were acting as a barrier, keeping the citizens at bay, so they would not touch her. She stared at the large crowd of people in front of her. "They all... came for me?"
"Pardon, Queen Frieda. But we have to get a move on." A military guard who was behind her, Five o' clock had leaned towards and muttered.
"Oh... right." Frieda said, then walked towards the fifteen foot-tall stage with the Military guards. As she was walking towards the stage where she was going to be crowned, she heard a scream.
"Big sister! Big sister!" yelled a small feminine girl.
Frieda suddenly stopped as she heard the voice of a little girl. She looked back at the crowd of citizens and spotted a little blonde girl sitting on top of a man's shoulders in the front third row on the right. She gasped in shock as she recognized that girl and the person she was sitting on. It was her little half-sister Historia Reiss who wore a red skirt, white shirt and brown shoes. She waved towards her and Adult Eren Yeager carrying young Historia on his shoulders.
She couldn't help but pause and tear up to see two of the most precious people in her life appear in the crowd supporting her. She then looked upwards and continued walking up the staircase. As she made it to the top, she met the top officers such as Erwin Smith, Nile Dok, Dot Pixis and two other high-ranking officers. They dressed in green trench coats and had symbols of their respected Military branches. Frieda had met Darius Zackly, who held the royal crown in his hands. She sat down on her knees and bent her head down.
Priemier Darius Zackly walked with the royal crown in her hands. "Frieda Reiss. I hereby announce you Queen of the Walls." Darius Zackly said loud enough for the crowd to here his voice. The moment he had placed the crown upon her head, the large crowd started cheering even louder.
"You're telling me "that" woman up there led the Survey Corps. to victory?" A male civilian pointed upwards towards Frieda on top of the stage.
"Yeah. I was there when it happened. None of us died this time!" A male Survey Corp. soldier had told the civilian.
"I heard the Survey Corps. didn't suffer a single casualty on the way back!" Another person said.
"Wait, really?"
"Yes."
"That's impossible."
"It's true! I was there when we made it to the ocean!"
"I was there, too! If it weren't for her, I probably would've been eaten by a Titan!"
"She freed us from the Titans beyond the walls!"
Eren, who was in the crowd with a young Historia on her shoulders had heard a group civilians talking behind him a few yards away. He can even here voices of soldiers talking about their experience of reaching the ocean.
Moments later, the top officials took a knew before their new queen of the walls.
As Erwin Smith kneeled before Frieda, he couldn't help but chuckle about how lucky he was of having the Founding Titan on his side.
A moment later, Frieda stood on top of the stage and stared at the cheering crowd. She took inhaled some air, then salute towards the audience.
Eren smiled towards Historia from below. As he looked up to Frieda, he saw a comparison of when Historia had became Queen in her timeline and Frieda becoming Queen now. The young Historia continued to cheer Frieda on from the crowd.
One Hour Later
After the Coronation had ended, Frieda roamed through the large halls of the castle all by herself. She had worn the silver ring that Eren had given her hours ago, confirming their engagement. As she had made a turn in a corner, she stopped and gasped to see Eren and her little half-sister, Historia standing in place.
"Hey." Eren waved towards Frieda.
"Eren... Historia..." Frieda smiled.
Historia quickly ran towards Frieda and hugged her. "Big sister!" she wrapped her arms around Frieda's waist and chuckled as she was happy to see her. "I'm happy to see you."
Frieda smiled down at Historia. "I'm happy to see you, too, again Historia." she placed a hand on Historia's back while hugging her.
"I picked her up from Orvurd District this morning. I told her that her big sister was having a celebration." Eren told Frieda, who's now Queen of the Walls.
"Thank you, Eren." Frieda nodded.
"Hey, big sister. Do you live here, now?" Historia asked, curiously.
"I do." Frieda kindly replied and smiled.
"Hurray! I wanna go horse riding and-" Historia suddenly started coughing.
"Eh?" Historia bent down on her knees and rested a hand on Historia's shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"Um... I think I am o-" Historia started coughing again. This time she coughed at least six times while covering her mouth with both hands.
Frieda gasped as she noticed what was wrong with Historia. "She's sick!
Eren quickly picked Historia up in his arms, bridal style. "I got her."
"Take her to chambers! Hurry!" Frieda ordered.
"I'm on it!" Eren quickly ran through the hallways with Historia in his arms. Frieda had quickly followed behind.
Later That Day
Six in the evening and the sun started to set, Queen Frieda whom was in her fancy room was attending to her half-sister. Historia Reiss was having a minor fever and was lying in Frieda's queen-sized bed. Frieda sat in a fancy chair, she had rung out cold water from a small white towel into a bucket and placed the small white towel onto her forehead.
Eren walked into Frieda's fancy room and saw that she was taking care of Historia. "How is she doing?"
"She still has a bit of a fever." Frieda answered as she looked at Eren. "She was exposed to too much heat outside today."
"It's my fault." Eren palmed the side of his right head. "I should've checked the weather and how hot it was gonna be today." He then removed his black jacket from his shoulders.
"What are you doing?" Frieda asked as she watched Eren take off his jacket."
"Doing what I can to help." Eren then lied his black jacket over Historia's body. "That should keep here warm for a while."
"I can't thank you enough for bringing Historia all the way from the farm. She means a lot to me. Even though she's my half-sister." Historia felt relaxed as she lied her hand on top of Historia's hand.
"Yeah. Anything you, Frieda." Eren said.
"Was her mother and the other farmers okay with you taking her?" Frieda asked in concern.
Eren suddenly thought back when he was fifteen. He remembered Historia telling him and his friends a story about her past. About how she lived, how her mother died and how she became Krista Lenz. "The farmers were okay, as long as I bring her back soon. But her mother wants nothing to do with Historia, due to being a..." Eren paused for a second. "You know what."
"Oh..." Frieda looked down at Historia and rubbed her back. She knew what Eren meant when he used, "You know what." She then thought about her family in the Orvurd District. "Have you heard anything from my family?"
"Not really... I haven't heard from the spies that watching their every move. I'm assuming that they're living normal lives." Eren told Frieda about her siblings and parents.
Frieda then paused and thought about something. "Eren..."
"Hm?"
"Can you tell me a story?" Frieda asked.
"Yeah, sure. What kind of story do you want?"
Frieda turned her head to Eren, while still sitting by Historia's side. "I wanna know how Historia lived after I died in your time. And how she became queen."
"Oh, let's see..." Eren stopped and thought for a moment as he started thinking of Krista. His eyes looked at the upper left corner, his hands were in his pockets and he lightly tapped his right foot. "When I first met her in the Cadet Corps. at the time, she was known as Krista Lenz."
Frieda gasped as the name "Krista" had rung in her mind. She remembered teaching Historia how to read next to a big haystack.
"Many of my classmates saw her as a goddess, but I saw her as nothing but a phony." Eren thought back from the time he and Historia met and when they graduated from the Cadet Corps. "I barely interacted with her, because I focused on killing Titans at the time. And despite spending three years together, I didn't like her at all, because I believed that Krista was just an act, while the real Historia was hiding. And I was later proven to be right." Eren then thought when they held a single conversation together at a round table in Wall Sheena. "But when her true demeanor and identity were revealed, I started warming up to her, because she was being honest for once."
"I see... Krista. Historia." Frieda mumbled.
"Then your dad came into the picture." Eren thought about meeting Rod Reiss. "He had his MP's kidnap both me and Historia. Rod tried to convince Historia to devour me and reclaim the Founding Titan."
Frieda remained silent, as she remembered a time when she told her dad that she wanted to become the next Founding Titan. Then after the ritual, she had succumbed to King Karl Fritz's ideology.
Eren remembered being brought to the crystal caves under the Reiss Chapel and nearly used as a sacrifice by Rod Reiss. "I was at one of my lowest moments when I wanted Historia to devour me. I thought things would've been better if she possessed the Founding Titan-if it meant killing all the Titans." Eren then thought the moment Historia rejected Rod's wishes by breaking the serum injection. "But to mine and Rod's shocking, she refused to become a Titan and devour me. That's when my admiration grew a lot bigger for her."
Frieda hid a smile.
Eren thought about the time Rod Reiss had transformed into a massive Titan. "Then when your dad became a massive Pure Titan and tried to destroy part of Orvud District, Historia delivered the killing blow and saved everyone. After that, everyone within the city adored and acknowledged her. She became queen of the Walls afterwards. Just like you did today."
"That's nice. I'd rather want Historia to live a normal life, rather than become one of the Nine Titans." Frieda said honestly. "So, what happened to Historia after you reached the ocean?" she asked Eren who froze like a statue.
Eren then thought hard when he met Kiyomi, the Ambassador of the Hizuru Clan. He rejected Kiyomi's plan on either having Historia bred multiple children or feeding Zeke to her. He later came up with his own plan on having mass genocide to protect Historia and Paradis. He frowned as he tried to sum it up in less than twelve words. "Then... everything changed once we've made it to the outside world."
"It must be really sad."
"You have no idea." Eren said, then visualized a pregnant Historia Reiss.
Two Days Later
It was Seven in the morning and the sun had almost risen east. Rod Reiss had walked outside of the Reiss Chapel in pajamas and found a newspaper on the steps. He picked it up and read the main print, talking about Frieda Reiss becoming the new Queen of the Walls. He gasped in shock to see a picture of his eldest child Frieda on the main print of the newspaper.
"F-Frieda!" Rod yelled in shock.
