THE VALKYRIE TITAN • ATTACK ON TITAN X OC •

XXIX.MEMORIES

(FLASH)

(Year 842)

Young Historia was holding a bucket of water, watering the plants in silence. Her grandparents were merely out for a walk, leaving her alone on the farm.

Suddenly, she heard an indistinct chatter from afar, seeing two women talking. One was black-haired and the other one was a fairly tall blonde woman walking together. She peaks at them from slightly afar, still could hear their conversation.

"Ahh...good thing you came here with me." Frieda smiled at her. "I thought you were going to the musical theater with Clyde today."

Aera lifted her own chin stiffly, crossing her arms. "The event was canceled for some reason," said Aera spitefully.

"Or maybe we could go ice skating with Clyde then, winter is coming." Frieda held her hat.

 "That'll do," Aera answered.

"It's hard to picture a Schrödinger being friends with a Valkyrie Titan though..." Her relative chuckled as the girl next to her remained silent.

"I mean back then, Schrödingers and Valkyrie Titan holders hate each other so much because..." Frieda paused when Aera looked at her sharply.

"Yes, because Annabelle Fritz herself blamed the royal retainers for telling King Fritz regarding her..." The ashen-haired was interrupted.

"Yes...I know. The former late leader of the Ackerman clan was killed because of Clyde's ancestors." With one blink of her eyes, it turned royal purple.

"Are you still upset regarding his death, sister?" The black-haired questioned but it seemed like it wasn't Frieda who was asking her, it was Fritz.

Aera gritted her teeth as her eyes glowed iris gold. "Of course, brother. I will never forgive you...ever," said she, sharply.

"It is for your own good, Annabelle. I killed him to prevent you from having a child. A child with royal and Ackerman blood...is threatening." Frieda spitefully said her purple eyes.

Aera shook her head as her golden eyes waned to naturally blue eyes, so as Frieda's.

"Ah...my head." The black-haired held her head. "I can't believe it's happening again."

"Why won't he just leave me alone?!" Frieda yelled, referring to King Fritz as Aera watched her, wearing an emotionless expression. "As the Queen of the walls, I want Eldians to be free from Titans like what Uncle Uri wanted but..."

"I know...you can't since Fritz forbids you to. You can't fully use the true potential of the Founder." Aera crossed her arms as she spots the young Historia with a stern glare. Frieda followed her gaze to see her beloved half-sister.

"Historia!" The black-haired exclaimed. "How long have you been there?"

Historia slightly flinched. "Oh...uh."

"She was eavesdropping on us." Aera crosses her arms with her usual malevolent tone.

"You heard everything did you, Historia?" Frieda asked her in distraught.

"Yes...but I don't really understand what you were talking about."  The young Historia stated innocently as Aera signals Frieda to come closer to her.

"What is it?"

Aera dragged her away from Historia. "It's best to erase her memories about what we were talking about."

Frieda looked at her in disbelief. "What?"

Historia parted her lips. She could only hear them whispering.

"This child heard what we were talking about. Let her forget everything..." Aera whispered to her sharply as Frieda pulled away from her grip.
