It was early in the morning, and you couldn't stop yourself from hearing such noises with thoughful attention in the messy hall, you haven't entered the specified cafeteria yet considering you lost your famishment on food,
Today is weekends, not having classes today, you decided to check the earsplitting voices located in the cafeteria out of confusion, as you walk closely, the sound produce by certain people began to be exceedingly crystaline,
"What the hell" you whispered
You hear transparently the shed of tears produced by...your friends?
"Oh y/n! W-were so sorry! Oh our dearest sweetest little angel, come back us!"
"Y/n l/n, please pray for us"

"You must be y/n" a sweet high-pitch voice interrupted your thoughts, you felt your sanity exploading considering the fact that a mere child was now inside the messy cafeteria occupied by military trainees,
In split second, after using your outstanding reasoning, you immediately accustom the child's identity, it was the orphaned daughter of the infamous winery in sina,
"Hmm, looks like they drank a lot," his unbiological father giggled as he entered the cafeteria, holding few bottles of commanding large prices of wines that was specifically only available in sina,
"With all due respect sir, what is happening?"
"We recieved the news regarding to my old friend named Derjenige verdient days ago, serving enough justice to my adopted daughter and his magesty's assassin, we collaborated a 'little' celebration knowing you would not take the reward,"
"——anyways! This is my newest product at the moment!, wine that i named after my daughter! It enters the bloodstream faster than a regular wine and will surely get you more drunk overtime," showing off his capabilities in advertising in high spirit manner,
"But sir such things are not necessary—-"
You stopped at the midst when your friends waved at you with such joyous expression calligraphed in their faces, seating at a specific table nearby the window as if the certain circumstance automatically erased their memory about what happened few days ago, you return the smile they offered as all of you enjoyed the rest of the day,
What a strong ligature all of you share together, it was nothing but mere seconds ago you were at the empty passage way of the corridors, it somewhat personify yourself before,
Now, drinking voluminous amount of wine with the company of your friends, producing laughters considering their knaveries under the influence of alcohol, making you weak at the moment

You were now alone at the mess hall, inasmuch as your drunk companions, they were unable to help you remove the discarded materials at the area that's why you deterge the place by yourself, cleaning makes your peace of mind somewhat relaxed that's why you didn't mind at all,
"Y-y/n? Why are you still up? Here let me help you with that" reiner suddenly open the door in the kitchen as he help you with the remaining dishes,
"Thanks reiner! Eren and the others are really devils, whereas they left the responsibility one me" you joked out you were expecting reiner to laugh as well but unfortunately he didn't, noticing how his state of mind suddenly dominated by particular emotion after hearing the word 'devil' , you simply frown
"Hey reiner, would you mind playing with me for a bit?"
"No i-idont mind, what game is it?"
"Chess, but there's a catch, every time someone removes a single piece get to ask questions, how about that,?"
-
"Hey reiner, tell me about yourself"
You could hear the sound of the mating owned by the crikets freshly at night, the only light that furnish the cafeteria was candle that reiner provided earlier, the moon was covered with clouds as it bestowed a very obscured surrounding,
"Hmm, i don't know you're interested in me"
From the position of c3, he moved his knight piece in b5 placement that outgo your pawn in the arrangement of b4, you immediately giggled, being awfully cognizant in the situation, reiner immediately grabbed the dangerous gamble regarding your evident parallelism with marley's most glorifying goddess, y/n fritz,
The silent goddess of knowledge,
"Y/n, who are you"
The atmosphere was enveloped by squelch, likewise yourself for being aware about the situation, you produce a teasing sound in an excessive manner, showing such postures diverse to the specified goddess,
"Me? I'm just y/n"
Reiner who develop its own life inside the interment zone, surrounded by the environment that deify y/n fritz and her capabilities,he was beyond conscious about the said deity's peculiar and essenstial nature, besides her apperance,
Halcyon, tranquil and muted, supreme being, considering the tongue that her deity no longer possessed in such a young age, compare to the attitude you currently flaunt,
Putatively possessed with high spirits, and a pleasant seasonings of dangers, you were loud too, he would rather say,
Placing his bishop in h4, with no hesitation you place your rook on its current arrangement,
"Reiner, tell me what's like to be manipulated"
"It feels sickening" he shortly answered, the aroma between the two of you blisteringly downscale as he manuscript an instant consequential expression, he percieve the feeling of fun and games under the influence of the devil's palms as you again produce such giggling sounds as if the situation caused such amuzements,
He douse your king with his bishop
"How about you y/n? What's the feeling of being manipulated?"
Hoping that he would peel off your true colors while pinpointing marley's action of terminating your image hundred of years ago, he questioned in an instance
"It feels revolting, but do you know what's more repulsive?" You stated unaffected
"W-what?"
"Your own father outbursting you with such prejudice"
In split second, you surrounded his king piece, with your rook on the left, if he move his remaing piece which is the king into the available spaces, he would be borbarded with your queen and other rook,
"Checkmate hehe~"
He lost
Reiner lost his own saneness in a matter of seconds, peeling off his true colors instead of yours, he cannot compose himself anymore, knowing that you were pointing out his yesterday which is his father giving him such prejudice because of having an eldian blood,
He took down the wooden table as the chess pieces seperates widely on the air, he stood up and seize your shirt firmly, showing wrathfulness in his eyes, seeing him in such actions made your suspicion proven to be true,
With you making such witticism sounds, you succesfully perk his mental agitation,
But the actions you exhibit was undersupply, considering millions of death he nourish
Reiner took down a specified lesson, never to gamble towards such people who personify the serpent of hells
