-Colt-
"Thor come here boy" dad calls out to Thor who was laying on the grass
Thor hurries over with Odin and Friia
"Look boy I'm going to be gone for a couple of years" he pats Odin's snout
"Bye now, take care alright ?" He hugs him one last time
After Thor said his final goodbyes to his parents he took on his natural form and we rode him out of the capitol
We evaded the royal guards searching for us and before we knew it we arrived at an orphanage where I waited outside with Thor
"What do you think is taking so long?" I ask Thor when the doors suddenly flew open and out came Sasha and my dad
"I told you to give me a few days! I haven't seen my father in forever let me have a few days with him then I'll go" Sasha argues
"When I say now I mean now, I'll give you five minutes you better come out" he says
"No!" Sasha puts her foot down
It didn't take him a second before he slapped her across the face so hard he busted her lip
"Don't you talk back to me" He grabs her hair "you got two minutes, go say bye to daddy and I want you out here!" He pushes her back "and you better hope Colt didn't hear you just now" he adds
I quickly turn my head acting as if I were talking with Thor the entire time
"Fine…" Sasha says in a shaken voice
After only about a minute Sasha came out again and joined us
"How long will we be gone for?" Sasha asks as she waved at her family
"Don't worry about it" Dad says before her family was out of sight
"S-so what happened to your lip?" I ask Sasha as she began folding dads clothes
"Oh… well you know how clumsy I am" she giggles, though her eyes filled up with tears
"Colt, did you bring your bow?" Dad asks
"Oh.. sorry no I forgot it" I say nervously
Sasha wipes her face before reaching into her bag
"It's okay I brought one just for you" she hands me a bow
"Hey awesome" I giggle "it's just like yours huh?" I examine the bow
"Yeah" Sasha smiles
"Sasha, come" dad says
Sasha gives me a little smile before heading over to dad
They go back and forth on a few things I couldn't make out before dad grabs her wrist and yanks her down on top of his lap
He began playfully biting, licking her neck and touching her all over
Just like mom had said he would
I don't know if it was cause I was here but I could tell how embarrassed she was
"Man" I sigh
Is what mom said really true ?
I lay back
Is dad already trying to replace mom?
She said he would always sneak off with Sasha, maybe he already did replace her…
I close my eyes trying not to think much of it, only hoping it would save me from the pain
After a couple of hours we finally reached the docks
Dad let me wander around for a bit while he got us a boat and now I was on my way back after buying a super awesome large Coolie straw hat
I bet it'll even fit dad pretty big
The merchant said it was a ninja hat, it had a little bell hanging on the side but the down side was how hard it was to walk in it
I couldn't see a thing all I could do is keep my head down as I bumped into person after person
"Look there he is!" I hear Sasha
"What are you wearing?" I hear dad
"Oh hey dad" I look up seeing them on top of a boat
Dad had taken off his shirt and was standing right behind Sasha who was wearing some really short shorts along with a crop top
He had his arms around her neck as he rested his chin on top of her head
"C'mon we've been waiting for you" He says
"Yessir" I giggle hoping right in with them
"The sea to Marley is pretty calm, so we should be there in a couple of months without a problem" Sasha says
"Oh hey boy" I crouch down beside Thor seeing he was the size of a normal Shepard
After about ten more minutes we finally began setting sail
"Bye! See you all in… thirteen… years" I remember how long we'll be gone for
"Thirteen years?" Sasha asks "what? is that like eighteen years on the Eldian Calendar?"
"Yeah" I sigh it's exactly that 18 years on the eldian 360 day calendar, man that sounds like a long time
That means by the time we get back I'm going to be 25 Sasha will be 38 and dad will be 40
Oh and mom… she'll be 39
I'm missing her already
"Don't worry kiddo" Sasha leans on the railing right beside me "we won't have to wait too long, with the peace treaty I'm sure we'll be able to come visit every now and then" she says
"You really think so?" I ask
"I know so" she smiles
"Awesome" I giggle
"Sasha" we hear dad
"Coming" Sasha says before joining him
I sneak on over peeking through the curtain
"Colt is right outside" Sasha whispers
"So what ?" Dad asks as he looked through the cabinets
"How do you think he feels seeing his father with another woman?" She asks as she pulled her top over her head
"Oh shut up" he finally grabs a bottle that read Water Based Natural Lubricant, whatever that means
"I'm being serious" she pulls down her shorts
"He's a smart kid if he doesn't know already he'll figure it out later" he says as he turned around to face her
"Look I just don't want him thinking you want to replace his mother" Sasha says
"What?" Dad growls before he grabs her throat "don't get me wrong Sasha there's no way in hell you can ever replace Historia"
"S-stop" Sasha groans as his lips get dangerously close to hers
"You know exactly why I brought you along so don't be playing stupid" he licks her busted lip
"Mgh o-okay" she groans before dad pushes her onto the couch
"Agh" Sasha grunts "is that really all you brought me along for ?" She asks as she turns her back towards dad
"Well no" dad begins pouring the Lubricant all over Sasha's butt and back "you're gonna carry my second child" he says before his hips slam against her ass
"Second child?!" I stumble back
"Agh what?!" Sashas gasp covers the ruckus I just made
"No way" I whisper
"Look the enemy has five Titans in their possession" dad grunts "I can't take on all five of them on my own"
I sit up trying to listen what dad would say next
"Mmh-agh" Sasha moans "s-so what there's no way, I'm not ready to have a child-ahh"
"I never asked if you're ready" he growls "and frankly I don't give a shit if you are" he adds
"Agh but why?" Sasha asks painfully
"If Colt can get his hands on one of the five Titans, and the one I'm about to put inside you can inherit the beast, we'll take over Marley in a single night" he says before slapping her
"Ahh b-be more gentle" Sasha whimpers
So we're just a part of dad's plan ?
Is that why I was born ?
No can't be right?
I stand up
Sashas voice was getting louder and louder
Soon the top deck was filled with loud clapping along with a weird sloshing sound all coming from the room dad and Sasha were in
"C'mon Thor" I call him over we going downstairs where the sound was mostly blocked but I could still hear the thumping sound of whatever the heck they were doing up there
Fighting maybe?
I don't know
Soon I fell asleep to the sound of Thor's heartbeat
-2 months later-
It's been about two months since and we finally arrived at the shore after gathering our things I put on my large coolie hat and dad set the boat on fire making sure no one will find it
We walked on for days before we finally arrived
"Marley" dad sighs
I heard this place had sentenced my dad to death or something a long time ago
"We need to hide your face" Sasha says
"Why is that?" Dad asks
"Because you're like the king of Eldia, remember?" I whisper
"So? it's been five years, they have no idea what I look… like" he says before we run into a poster
"Is that you?" I ask dad
It kinda looked like him only this portrait of him had a nasty scar across his face
The world has no idea what dad looks like. He has been stuck in the castle since the Battle of Shiganshina
Azumabitos said 'the face and family of the founding Titan should be kept secret from the world' so in that sense the entire world knows I exist but no one knows what my name is nor what I look like
"Colt can keep his name" dad says
"We should go by my parents names" Sasha says
"Your parents ?" Dad asks
"Yeah, Kara you'll be Arthur Grice, I'll be Lisa Grice and Colt Grice" she says
"Why Grice?" Dad asks
"It's my mother's maiden name" she says
"Alright then let's get going" dad says
"Wait!" Sasha stops him
"What?" He asks
"I told you, you still need to cover up we don't want to take any chances" she says
"What? Look at me I got a beard now" he rubs his trimmed facial hair
It's true he didn't look like the dad I've seen in paintings from 5 years ago but still the only difference was his hair had grown to his shoulders and he had a trimmed up beard
"Hey you can use my coolie" I take my super awesome straw hat off my head
"What?!" Dad backs up "there's no way I'm wearing that ridiculous thing" he growls
"Yeah c'mon just till we find a place to stay" Sasha agrees probably just as excited as I am to see him wear it
"N-no I'm a King not some peasant" he says
"What? C'mon stop being silly" Sasha plops it on his head
"Nghk" dad clenches his teeth
"Hehe there" Sasha giggles nervously
It covered his face alright, the edge of the hat stretched past his shoulders
"Whoa you look awesome dad" I giggle
"Sh-shut up" he mutters "c'mon" he says
"Alright" I giggle following closely behind him
We waited in line for a while before it was finally our turn
After me Thor and Sasha passed by they took our pictures gave us our ID's even Thor needed one since he was our pet
The IDs had the name we'll be going by and an armband that separated us from Marleyans
"Wait" they stop dad
"Oh no" I hear Sasha say under her breath
"Hey, where's that one picture of that King of Devil island, that Amaterasu guy?" The guard asks his buddy
Amaterasu?
"We had orders to take it down after the peace treaty was passed" his friend says
"Oh…" he looks back at dad "well whatever" he stamps dads papers "never mind then you can go sir" he tells dad
Dad nods joining us after they hand him his ID card
"That was too close wasn't it dear?" Sasha sighs
"Don't start" dad says grumpily
"From now on I'm your wife and Colt you're my son" she smiles
"Right" I giggle
"Whatever let's look for a place to stay" dad says
