The guys in hoods waited for night to fall, but then they heard the scouts were heading in their direction, they took to the trees, the only one who wasn't unconscious was Ymir, what she recalled was her memories of her past

In Ymir's memories

" well, they look promising"  A man says, using his lantern at the orphans in front of him. This was a memory of when Ymir was younger. She stares at the ground in front of her until the light stops on her. "What about this one?"The man asks the other, who nods. "Hm":The man kneels down to Ymir's height and speaks to her.

"Hello there. How would you feel about coming to live with us?" He gently grabs her hand and begins to walk away with her. Ymir stares up at him as he continues explaining "Think of it as the start of a brand-new life. Of course, a brand-new life needs a brand-new name. Don't you agree?"Ymir looks behind her to see her old friends waving her goodbye while the man still talks

"Huh?" She looked up at the man confused

That day... That was the first time I lied to myself. Told myself I had no say in the matter. That I never had a choice. But...

"It is this lady Ymir that inherits the blood of his majesty the king.As long as she graces us with her presence, immortality shall be ours."

To be fair, it wasn't all that bad.

Little Ymir ate alongside the other believers, who were smiling

My food wasn't cold.

Young Ymir slept under warm covers

I no longer slept in the dirt.

"Lady Ymir" the crowed bowed at her feet

Best of all, I knew what it meant to feel needed. For the first time in my life, I actually meant something to someone else. That, by far, was more precious than anything. Then one day....

Guards kicked the door down and began aiming their guns at the prayers. "It's her! She's the one who did it!" One of the prayers shrieked, pointing at Ymir "It's her fault! The girl is to blame! She said the blood of the King flows in her veins! Were only guilty of believing her!" He yelled

I was cruelly reminded that everything I clung to was an act.

"Is that so?" One of the officers, pointing a gun at her

"I-I only"Her breath hitched once more when she saw the prayer's faces. One shook their head from denying it, and so, that was Ymir's final answer. "It's true. I am Ymir! The kings blood runs through me!"

Lie once, the rest follow easy.. If it saved the next, so be it. Trouble was, things didn't quite work out that way.

Rocks were thrown at the bounded Prayers, including Ymir. Blood dripped down her face and body as she watched in horror of the citizens yelling at them.

The Prayers and Ymir were lined up on the edge of the wall. One beside Ymir began to scream and cry in fright, struggling to escape the bounds"help me!" Ymir looks down and a electrical field erupts

"Stop this! I'm begging you! It's not right!"Ymir pleaded, but her cries were ignored when a guard injected her with the same thing the other Prayer was injected, and was pushed off the wall.

That's when I realised I'd heard it coming all along. I'd deceived those gullible bastards. But that wasn't what I was being punished for really. It was for deceiving myself. into thinking someone needed me. What else did I expect? That's what comes of looking at the world through a veil. Over time travelling in titan form, it took to rest, as the earth crowded around it
