Chapter 66: Eren's Sacrifice (2)
"Yeah... eventually..."
"Your majesty...?"
What he said was a low whisper which only Shaka and a handful of others head.
"But not now."
Then he looked at them almost as if he was looking one last time.
"Accept him."
And then another pause before saying, "Now go."
No one moved at first.
Then slowly, one by one, they began to turn.
They were reluctant and there were half who were unwilling, but they still followed his command.
For it was his last command.
"Erst is to be the leader who will replace me."
He looked at everyone once more.
"These are my words. And my words are promise! They are a command!"
"We will follow your condition Your majesty!"
"Your majesty!"
"Your majesty!!!"
Every wolf who had begun to move, paused, bowed and resumed their movement.
Erst stayed where he was for a moment, his mind still catching up to what had just happened.
Then he stood.
The pain in his body hadn't disappeared, but it no longer stopped him.
