Double update bc I have no life and I love you guys. <3
Mizuki was sure he lost 50 years worth of his life watching that fight. It was a wonder that he didn't jump across the arena and did the job himself.
Not that he didn't try to.
When he saw Eren get hit by that spear he had unknowingly taken steps forwards and was on his way to do god knows what but unfortunately Emilio grabbed his arm and pulled him back.
Emilio had glared at him and told him to have faith in Eren and that he didn't want to die because of his stupidity.
Mizuki was shocked at the audacity of the man but he sucked it up because he wasn't wrong.
When Eren had been on top of Aslan while strangling him, Mizuki's heart was beating so fast he thought it would jump out of his body. He had never felt such intense anxiety in his entire life.
But his sweetheart did it.
He killed the fucking bitch exactly like he said he would.
He won.
Mizuki watched with his heart swelling with pride as Eren backed away from the body and dropped the knife on the ground. He watched the crowd quiet down in shock as their faces paled with the realization that the golden boy lost and is now dead.
And then he heard a horrific scream ring out and he turned to stare as Marcella Acosta sank to her knees while screaming, tears streaming down her face. Her husband, Augustus stood there in shock as the colour drained from his face and Mizuki watched with satisfaction as the man was hit with the realization that his plan failed.
He watched Eren's gaze shift to her and his father and then he watched Augustus enter the arena and kneel down next to his son's dead body.
Mizuki raised his hand and reached for the bandana around his neck that he had wrapped just in case and he pulled it up to hide his face and then he entered the arena, ignoring Emilio's whisper of protest.
He walked towards where Eren was still sitting on the ground and he crouched down to his level and gripped his face to turn it to him.
"You did it, sweetheart." He whispered, wiping the tears away from his face. "I'm so so proud of you."
"M-Mizuki." Eren whimpered as the tears continued to fill his eyes. "I killed him."
"I know, baby, I know." Mizuki cooed softly. "It's okay, you had to do it."
They both heard a choked sob and they turned to look at Augustus as he held Aslan's dead body in his arms. He raised his red and teary eyes that were filled with rage and they clashed with Eren's.
"You murdered my son!" He croaked out and Eren looked at his father with wide eyes.
"You told me to fight for the crown and I did." He responded.
"You will not be crowned!" Augustus exclaimed, standing up to his feet and Eren pushed himself up as well, with the help of Mizuki holding his arm.
"What the fuck do you mean I won't be crowned?" Eren demanded. "By the rules I am already the king."
"Not if someone challenges you." Augustus sneered. "I want the crown handed back to me."
"W-what?"
"I, Augustus Acosta, challenge you right here and right now to a fight to the death for the position of King of Yarisha." He declared and Mizuki, along with all of the population of Yarisha that was present gaped at him.
"He is injured!" He spoke out for the first time and Augustus's gaze shifted to him in confusion but thanks to the bandana covering his face he could not recognize Mizuki as the Prince of Rivania.
"That is not my problem." Augustus said. "The fight will be happening in fifteen minutes."
He knelt down and picked up Aslan's body and left the Arena and then he rested the body in front of his still hysterical wife who immediately clutched at her son.
"Eren." Mizuki said as he turned around to face his love. "Let me fight for you."
"Mizuki-"
"You fought your battle, sweetheart. You paid Aslan and this country back for hurting you all of these years by proving to them that you are worthy. But now I want you to let me fight for you as well. Please let me do this, sweetheart." Mizuki said.
"Okay." Eren whispered and Mizuki grinned.
"Eren!" Another voice called out and they turned to see Arlan enter the arena as well.
Mizuki frowned as he watched the man hold Eren's shoulders and his frown deepened at the words that left his mouth.
"Let me fight this for you, Eren. You're injured and I know you don't need anyone to fight your battles but let me." He said and Eren's gaze shifted to Mizuki in panic.
"I-um Mi- I mean this man is going to be fighting for me." Eren stammered and Arlan's eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he turned to look at Mizuki.
"Why would you let some stranger fight for you? Didn't you say you don't want anyone fighting for your battles when I offered to fight Aslan?" Arlan said.
Mizuki felt an unknown emotion rise in him the longer he heard this man talk. He wanted to fight for Eren? Just who was he?
"If I trust someone to fight for me." Eren started off as he took a step back from Arlan, letting his hands fall from his shoulders. "Then it would be this man."
The words brought a smug smile on Mizuki's face under the bandana and when he saw the hurt appear on the man's face he felt immense satisfaction settle in him.
But when he saw Eren wince while holding his shoulder his smile washed away and he immediately took a step towards him.
"You should get that checked out. Let me handle this." Mizuki told him softly and Eren frowned.
"I'm not leaving." He said firmly and Mizuki sighed.
Mizuki grabbed the corner of his cloak and he ripped a part of the clothing and then he wrapped it around Eren's shoulder to stop the bleeding.
He then took off his cloak, not needing the hood anymore with the bandana hiding his face and he draped it over Eren's shoulder, ignoring Arlan's gaze that was boring into them.
"Go, I'll be back before you know it, love." He said and then he crouched down and picked up the still bloody dagger from the floor.
"Mizuki." Eren said as he grabbed his hand in between both of his. "Please be careful and don't let me down."
"I won't. The crown is yours." Mizuki promised him and then he turned to face Arlan.
"Can you take him out of the Arena? If he looks like he's in a lot of pain then please get someone to check his wound." He said, trying not to glare at the man since he still didn't know who he was but he seemed to treat Eren well.
"Yeah, okay." Arlen grumbled, not bothering to hide his glare.
"Let's go, Eren." Arlen said and Eren squeezed Mizuki's hand one last time before following Arlan out of the arena and joining the crowd that was staring at him with wide eyes.
Mizuki turned around just as Augustus entered the arena again, in his hand a long sword.
Mizuki couldn't deny that he was delighted at what was happening. He's been waiting for a chance to get rid of the people that hurt Eren. With Aslan gone there was only Augustus left and the man decided to hand himself on a silver platter, making things much easier for Mizuki.
And the fact that he got to avenge his sweetheart himself made him beyond happy.
"Who are you and where's Eren?" Augustus asked.
"My name is Milo and I'm a guard. Prince Eren has granted me permission to fight the battle for him since he is injured." Mizuki lied through his teeth and he knew that Augustus couldn't care enough to know the names of all the guards and so he wouldn't even think that Mizuki was lying.
"You are willing to die for him?" Augustus asked and Mizuki smirked under his bandana.
"Who said I was going to die?" He asked and he watched with pleasure as Augustus's eyes widened in shock before settling in a sneer.
"Start the fight!" He roared and the soldier hit the gong, signalling the beginning of yet another battle.
Mizuki watched in amusement as the old man rushed to him with his sword and he swiftly moved aside when he tried to stab him.
"Nice try." Mizuki teased and then in one quick movement he raised his hand and caught the sword in between his hand, ignoring the blood that started trickling down his arm and instead pulled the sword towards him and away from Augustus and into his grip instead.
"Guess you're out of a weapon." Mizuki said, feigning sadness in his tone and Augustus' face turned red with anger, or was it embarrassment?
Mizuki threw the sword away from them just as Eren had done with the spear and he grabbed the collar of Augustus's royal suit and pulled him against him.
"You're a fucking disgrace of a father and an even worse king. You should have been dead a long time ago but now that I'm here I'll do the job." Mizuki hissed in his face and he watched Augustus's eyes widened.
Mizuki raised his hand and then he slid the bandana off and he watched Augustus's face shift into horror but before he could even fully comprehend what was happening Mizuki raised his other hand and stabbed him straight through his chest with the dagger that was now covered in both his and his son's blood.
"This is for all the people in my country that you had killed and for Eren, the person I'm in love with." He whispered in his ear as Augustus gasped and coughed out blood. "I hope you rot in hell."
And with that he took out the knife only to push it back in, two times harder.
