16 The Aftermath (1/2)
It's been 4 months since the Shiganshina tragedy, the news spread into the walls like fire in the forest, all the people heard about this and they now in a state of fear from the titans to break into the walls again
the survivors from Shiganshina reached wall Rose and now they are inside camps made especially for them. the food is low and the people are nearly starving
”After sending the 250k people on that suicidal mission our supplies are now stable but we can't just let the remaining ones just lazing around, we need to use them for something ”
inside of a meeting between the walls top officials and nobles, a fat man spoke, he is one of the nobles of wall Rosé
”This is not good, the titans invaded wall Maria and our resources went down by more than 30℅, Lord Braveheart have some farm lands inside wall Rosé that aren't being used we can use the survivors to farm those lands ” said a man with a mustache, he is the governor of wall Rosé
”En, That is a good idea, Lord Braveheart do you agree to that since it's your lands we need your permission for tgat” a priest of the church that is inside wall Rose looked at Roger(Ace's Dad) and asked
But Lord Braveheart wasn't listening to him, his head was low and his eyes have black circle under them
”L..Lord braveheart??” the priest called
”Ah!! I apologize, I didn't heard you ” Roger snapped out of his thoughts
”I said do you agree to using the survivors to farm your lands in the north” replied the priest
”Aah!...It's okay, I didn't use those for long, I agree to that, I will go and prepare some people to monitor them, you can send them in the next week” Roger stood up and walked out of the room
The man looked at him with wonder and said ” What happened to him?!”
the others heard him and looked at him with a weird expression. the fat man said ” You don't know??!”
” What? ” asked the priest
”His son was in Shiganshina for the past months when the titans broke in...Apparently his son died, he went to the camps and didn't find him ”
The priest eyes widened as he heard the news ” I..I didn't know that he had a son!!”
”Then you must be living under a rock, when his son was born the three walls know that because of how grand the celebration was, you must be an idiot to not know that” the moustache governor said
...
outside of the building, Roger is in front of his carriage as he is looking to the sky ' Son! I know you are okay but your father's heart is worried... please come back quickly. we are waiting for you ' hethought as he entered the carriage
...
back at the survivors camps. Eren, Mikasa and Armin are eating their food fare way from the people. they didn't want to get closer to them since anything can happen, three children with food are like free food to them. their share of food is becoming lower and lower with each passing day
”God Damn!! this bread is hard as a rock!” Eren complained as he took a bite from the bread
”We have no choice, this what their limit 2 pieces of bread a day is generous enough ” Armin replied
Mikasa didn't talk and just kept on eating silently with a cold expression. Eren looked at her and said ” Oi!! ”
Mikasa didn't turn at him and just said ” What?”
”What are you still doing here? Didn't Ace parents came to get you yesterday? why didn't you go with them?” he asked
As soon as she heard Ace's name Mikasa clenched her fist and said ” Shut up”
”Ha!! you!! What the hell!! why didn't you go?? answer me” Eren stood up and insisted on Mikasa to answer
