65. Clumsy Princess

" You know the Captain is alone right now .... It's the perfect time for you to say 'Hi' to him " Ymir nudged Krista who was nervously shifting beside her as the rest of her class was conversing together.

It seems Eren was having a drinking bout with Sasha , and honestly he was losing by the looks of it but that was not the main concern.

Right now everyones focus was on this bout so nobody was focusing on the lone Siegfried, it was the perfect time for Krista to make a move.

" I-I don't know ...I don't think Captain would like to speak to a plain girl like me ...." Krista said in a depressed manner as she hung her head down.

" Stop putting yourself down like that ... And if you don't make your move you will be behind someone who has the innate advantage of being close to him" Ymir gave a Krista a knock on the head as she advised her seriously.

" Huh? Miss Carla ? But she is his wife tho .." Krista said in confusion as she didn't understand who she was referring.

" I am not talking about her but his dear innocent student who can't wait to sink her fangs into her Teacher " Ymir said in a serious tone making Krista become confused as she couldn't wrap her head around what Ymir was saying.

" M-Mikasa?! But I don't think she is like that ..." Krista said in a low tone.

" Believe what you want , but right now are you going or not ? " Ymir didn't bother explaining as she put her hand on Krista's shoulder.

" I'll do it ! " Krista cheered herself up as she slapped her cheeks lightly gathering her courage.

It was just a chat with the Captain.. What could go wrong .....

But as it turns out ...Everything.....

....

Krista's back was ram rod straight as she walked towards Siegfried mechanically like a robot.

But when she came near him she accidentally tripped on her own foot and came tumbling towards him, but to her utter astonishment she somehow ended up in the Captain's arms with him gazing at her with a teasing smile.

" You are as clumsy as ever Princess ~ "

Krista's head was spinning when she heard him call her Princess in a teasing tone , she knew he was referring to her literally as a joke but she couldn't help but think that he was her prince and she was his princess.

" H-Hello Shpatain!( Captain ) " In her nervousness Krista accidentally bit her tongue making her feel more embarrassed.

'Aaaaah! It's over ! The Captain should be thinking I am such a useless clutz ! ' Krista mourned inside her mind as she closed her eyes tightly.

" Pfft~ It's always refreshing to see that you haven't changed much Historia ~ " Siegfried said in a low tone as he put her down on a seat beside him.

He could see some glances from the trainees but they looked away after a while because Krista / Historia was like this always. ( atleast he believed so , while the rest knew about her obvious crush )

Rodd Ress's illegitimate daughter Historia Reiss , sent to the Scouts to die atleast that was what he gleamed on the surface.

But after getting to the bottom of it , Historia was part of Rod Ress's plan to retrieve the founder .... Too bad it won't work... ever....

He was one of the few in the Scout Regiments who knew the truth along with his partners.

He won't let Rod manipulate this girl instead he would change her fate .... Why? ... Because he felt like it.

A person who was dead inside and had this urge to be useful to everyone , what a pitiful life to have.

So as a Good mentor he talked to her privately and addressed her issues , with all his vast experience and knowledge it wouldn't be too far fetched for him to be a councellor or therapist.

Siegfried genuinely believes with the kind of horrors he experienced he could be Bonafide Therapist.

And helping out a girl like Historia wasn't too difficult , But Siegfried was always upfront about his goals , He told her he was doing this so that she wouldn't come under her father's control as he had plans for her.

He hadn't yet told her what plans her father had for her but all she knew was he was helping her out to be independent so she wouldn't be a thorn in his path , atleast that's what he believed.

The nobles , their schemes , Rod Reiss , all of this was investigated by him with Eve's help. { Eve is an ancient Artifact of unknown orgin which merged with Siegfried's soul while his new body was being nurtured inside the World Tree , if some people didn't understand that, It's a mix of ancient technology and magic , a very capable AI }

The plan to overthrow the Royal family was coming along nicely and the Royal blood was nearly synthesized in his body and it would give him the ability to use the power of the founder soon.....

....

" C-Captain are you mocking me ? " Historia mumbled in a sulky tone as she sipped on her drink making Siegfried chuckle a bit.

" Not at all~ It's just cute seeing you be this clumsy even after so many years" Siegfried also sipped on his drink as he gazed at the trainees who were having fun.

He failed to notice Historia who almost choked on her drink after hearing his words....

...

'Captain called me cute! ' Historia's mind droned out the rest of Siegfried's words as she focused only on the word cute.

She covered her mouth trying to hide her wife smile as she lowered her head.

" Historia.... Did your father try to contact you ? "

Siegfried's question made Historia's happy mood perish....
