Reiner: im sure ymir would look after her
Bertholdt: if i cant protect her then what use am i, its the only good thing i can do, but..., if ymir can do it better than me then-.... reiner, i would very much like to keep you around
Reiner: you're right, you should try to run while i can distract them
Bertholdt: reiner that's not....you don't have to-
Reiner: you're annies knight, she needs you, you have to protect her
Bertholdt: she doesn't need me as much as you think, its true, i want to protect her with everything i have, i dont want her to feel what loneliness is,i want her to be happy always, but...she doesn't need me
Reiner: but bertholdt you could-

King leonhart: bertholdt hoover, you have defied me, you brought my daughter, my first daughter to the front lines, this, is inexcusable, you are my knight so i will be kind, 25 lashes
Reiner: whew
Ymir: psst see that? Being one of us has its perks
*everyone looks relieved at this as more cruel punishment was common in the kingdom especially when it comes to crimes against royalty*
King leonhart: and death by beheading
*a brief quietness then shock hits everyone, reiner is stunned unable to process, ymir jumps out of her chair standing in disbelief, shock hits all of them except one, Bertholdt, the first thing he does is look at her, he stares at her, not in fear, not in hate, he just knows he wants her face to be the last thing he sees*
Reiner: .....what?!
Ymir: king!
Bertholdt: ...
Annie: father
King leonhart: quiet, do not speak, as i said hoover, you are my knight but this disrespect will not go on, it will never go on ever again
