1 Chapter 01 - The Day Before

[ Wall Maria, Year 845, before the fall of Shiganshina. ]

Lux Arcadia blinked her eyes, before the 10 year old yawned and went back to sleep.

"Young Master Lux." A servant gently woke him up.

Lux just ignored him and continued sleeping.

"Thanks Terrance, but let me wake Lux up." Kyren entered the room, without his knowledge.

Kyren sighed, then walked over to take a glass cup filled with mineral water, and poured it on Lux.

"What the hell! Don't do something like that!" Shouted Lux, blown up with a face full of air.

"Fufufu, you sleepy bitch. Anyway, breakfast is ready, the cooks have made bacon!" Kyren said.

Get out of bed, change into her wet clothes, and hurriedly dress herself before running out the door.

Lux limped onto the stairs, slid down the stairs and ran into the dining room just as the food was being served.

"Enough food for everyone, Lux. Sit down and it's your turn." Getrude held it just as Lux got ready to scramble for the meat as fast as she could, and Getrude swiftly got in touch with her seat.

"So, Sis. Do you know?" Kyren said as he put his arm on Getrude's shoulder.

"To get Titan power? Of course!" Javanese Getrude is carefree.

William glared at her, it was no secret that William wanted her too. However, it doesn't really help to sleep during all the private tutoring and training sessions they provide.

"Aw, really !? You will get that! If you really do inherit, you will not have children!" Said Annabeth teasing him.

"H-Hey!" Gertrude replied blushing, she just looked down in embarrassment.

"Not so bad! I mean, those ancient female warriors were still virgins, right?" Kyren joked.

Hearing that, Gertrude only blushed even redder.

"All right, your sister's love life is your business. " Astell Arcadia, the head of the Arcadia Family and the nobleman of Wall Maria, entered in a very dignified outfit while sighing, he immediately sat down on his chair.

"Daddy! You're back! How ?! Did you give up that ugly bastard—" shouted Lux ​​but was cut off.

Victoria Arcadia, a noble lady from the Arcadia Family immediately tugged at Lux's ear, before she could finish her words.

"Your language Lux!" Victoria scolded Lux.

"Ow, ow!" Lux scratched her mother's hand, trying to get it off. Finally releases, and pats the head before giving Astell a welcome kiss on the cheek and sits down.

"So, Gertrude. Now you will inherit the Knight Titan. You may have to start thinking about looking for someone to court, and one more thing, get a boyfriend! "Said Victoria.

"Don't mother, Sister Getrude is a warrior girl, swearing to evil and remaining chaste." Kyren joked.

"I have to respect me! Kill the Titans! Boyfriends ?! Ha! I don't know what you are talking about! I swear to remain a virgin and I have no intention of breaking my oath." Annabeth declared in a voice that pleased Gertrude.

"Hey, at least I don't have to check my own reflection every ten seconds to make sure my makeup doesn't peel off." Getrude recording.

"How dare you a virgin!"

Getrude and Annabeth immediately started having a heated argument, with Kyren making comments here and there about the two of them.

"Children ..." Victoria shook her head.

Astell took a breath, and then he roared. A loud, ear-piercing roar that even made the servants back away.

Gertrude slumped back into her chair, Kyren quickly shut up, and Annabeth ruffled her hair.

"Enough." He said, calmly taking a bite of the meat as fast as he could.

***

After breakfast.

Astell led the children into the crystal room.

William yawned, sleepy and lethargic as usual, Kyren immediately slapped the back of his head.

"Make it through the ceremony, and I'll put you to sleep myself."

"So ... why exactly did Gertrude get Titan?" complained William.

"Because he's the oldest, shows the best of us all, and wants to join the Scouts." Kyren said.

"The oldest doesn't matter. It's not like we die after 13 years." William answered.

"Why don't we die after 13 years?" Lux appeared from behind William.

"Jeez, I've told you this a thousand times. We don't die because we're not the flesh-eating descendants of Maria, Rose, or Shina. The Titans' curse is only for those who devour the flesh of Ymir and her descendants." Kyren said dramatically.

"Ugh, can you shut up about that?" Annabeth fidgeted with her golden hair.

"You four, shut up." Their mother turned around.

"Yes!" They walked the rest of the way in uncomfortable silence.

The Arcadia family is quite a happy family.

Transfer Knight Titan is a festive event, because the current Titan heir does not need to be eaten, instead, they do a simple blood transfer to inherit it.

When they reached the room, they were dumbfounded. This is their first time here.

Gertrude was pacing the crystal floor.

"Sister are you nervous?" William teased.

"Oh shut up Will."

Before long, William was jokingly biting his arm.

"Ouch! Hey!" Getrude noticed a little blood flowing from the place, she brought it to his mouth and drank it, and the wound immediately closed.

"Hey. You're not a kid anymore. Don't bite." Their father Astell Arcadia, and the current Knight Titan, appear.

"Ah that's fun. It's not like we hurt anyone." William scowled.

"It's funny when you are five years old, not so cute when you are fourteen." Astell pointed out, he turned to Gertrude.

"Shall we start?" Astell asked.

Getrude nodded, took the knife, she made a diagonal cut in his hand.

After that, Annabeth groaned.

"Annabeth are you sick?" Kyren teased.

"Don't be too harsh!" Annabeth answered, flicking Kyren's eyes.

Astell took the knife, and dragged it into his hand, making another cut.

"Ready?" Astell asked, Gertrude nodded, they reached out and were about to touch each other's bleeding hands when suddenly an explosion rocked the room.

< To Be Contined >

[A / N: Okay, here I will explain the storyline in this chapter, the following tells about a noble family called the Arcadia Family, the Arcadia Family is also one of the ten families that inherited the Titan Shifter power. Unlike the others, they did not receive a 13-year curse on inheritance because they were not the descendants of Ymir's meat-eating children. And in order to give Power to the successor, they had to make blood contact, so that the previous heir would not be eaten up like the other Titan shifters. ]
