Even after the proposals were made, the people around the court remained silent, having to look at one other, and quietly whispered amongst themselves. It was clear that there was a lot of motivation behind the boy's words, and it made Sara narrow her blue eyes, and hum quietly in an approving manner. On her side of the argument, there was more to Eren than meets the eye and, even though most of the people in the room didn't know that she harbored a secret that made her just as valuable as the boy. At the same time, the lieutenant was quite confident in the plan that her Commander had managed to conceive. [color=a36209][i]"Is that so? Because a report from Trost states the following: 'He swung his fist at Mikasa Ackerman right after transforming'. Is Mikasa present?"[/i][/color], Darius read the report before looking around, in search for the girl, having to eventually spot her on the sidelines with Armin, standing right next to the priests. [color=a36209][i]"Is it true that after transforming, Jaeger attacked you?"[/i][/color], he asked her. Said-girl stayed quiet the entire time, having to internally feel anxious for the decision of her adoptive brother's fate. As soon as she was acknowledged, she gave herself a moment of thought before answering. She couldn't quite figure out whether if she should lie or not. [i]‘What would be a more-qualified answer? Eren...’[/i], she wondered to herself, before exhaling. The white-haired woman wasn't sure if that was what really happened, but if she was completely honest, even she herself wasn't there when this said-event occurred; she only knew through the report. On the other hand, by the way that Eren had explained his testimony from yesterday, the report didn't quite seem to match his motive. However, she can't assume if that were the case. But then, she had a hunch that it was the latter, considering that Kate's testimony was exactly the same, as to what she had told her, the night before. [color=a187be][i]"Can we really trust him with the fate and manpower of mankind?"[/i][/color], one of those corrupted wall-cult members objected, clearly distrusting Mikasa's word. [color=f7976a][i]"Yeah! He could be a Titan, who infiltrated us, disguised as a child!"[/i][/color], said another. [color=7bcdc8][i]"Her too! How can we be sure she's human?"[/i][/color], another one. [color=bc8dbf][i]"That's right! Dissect her too, just in case!"[/i][/color], and another. It was a back-and-forth agreement amongst the corrupted. Then the voice of Eren came into the fray, and the everything started to elevate from there. The shout itself made the entire court room grow eerily quiet. No words were said; only faces of disbelief, and shock. [color=82ca9d][i]"What the hell are you waiting for?! Take aim!"[/i][/color], the MP commander ordered, wanting this to be over and done with. [color=f49ac2][i]"Yes sir!"[/i][/color], the object of his execution was there, and the shooter seemed to show no hesitation to finish the job. However, one person will not tolerate such an action. There was suddenly a kick to Eren's face, fatally knocking one of his teeth out, then a punch to the stomach. Sarah's face held no emotion, as much as she could, before sending a knee to the boy's face, right to the nose, then a kick to the ribs, and a punch to his jaw. From there, she let his head hang, before she kneeled down on one knee, and gripping his throat. [color=00aeef]"From the way I see it, you lack discipline, Jaeger. See this as a punishment for your mistake: Never speak, unless spoken to"[/color], she made him look into her blue eyes, as she said this. The beating continued for a few more seconds. The lieutenant could only hope that Erwin's strategy would work.
