[That was because the Founding Titan had always been influencing its inheritors!]
Everyone heard those words. Kenny Ackerman, who feared nothing and loved trouble most of all, laughed without a care in the world. But for Historia and Eren Yeager, they brought a shock more devastating than a tsunami.
