Reappearance

"Historia, I hope you understand, we need you." Erwin, along with Hange and Levi, approached Historia.

He frankly stated the current situation of the government within the Walls, and bluntly said that Historia needs to step forward, inherit the Throne, and stabilize public sentiment.

Historia, on the other hand, seemed conflicted, clutching her skirt tightly with both hands. "But... but, Commander, I just want to be an ordinary Soldiers, not a queen."

Hange adjusted his glasses, stepped forward, and said, "Historia, the people are absolutely dissatisfied with the military government's control of power. Only you can help us stabilize the situation right now."

Levi crossed his arms and calmly said, "If you don't want to be one, that's fine too. Just consider it shirking responsibility. Being a coward isn't so bad."

"Hey! What are you saying!? Historia has the right to choose the life she wants, why are you forcing her to make a choice!" Of course, Ymir was the most dissatisfied person present.

"Historia! Don't be soft-hearted. We made a promise that we would live for ourselves from now on!" Ymir said to Historia with utmost seriousness as she turned to him.

Levi glared at Ymir, but still let out a barely perceptible sigh. If it weren't for the circumstances, who would willingly force a fifteen-year-old child to shoulder such a heavy responsibility?

If it were the Levi of the past, he might have drawn his sword against those who wanted to force Historia to become queen. What right did those cunning old foxes have to force his subordinates?

But perhaps it's what Kenny said before he died: people are always slaves to something; no one is truly free; some things are not something you can do or not do just because you want to.

There were other New Recruits present, but most of them remained silent; they couldn't say anything about it anyway.

His mind was filled with wild thoughts. If Historia became Queen, wouldn't he have to bow to her when they met? Kneeling and bowing to Comrade he had been fighting alongside for years felt strange.

Armin, however, rationally believed that Historia should inherit the Throne, as this would be the best outcome for the Survey Corps and all of humanity.

Both Eren and Connie looked distracted.

Sasha wondered, if she became Queen, would she be able to eat meat to her heart's content every day?

Mikasa didn't give it much thought, but Mikasa she felt it was Historia's choice.

Yago: "Historia, whatever you choose, we will support you. Don't forget, you now possess the Titan Power, and no one can force you."

Yago's words drew everyone's agreement. "Make your own choice, Historia, live for yourself!"

"That's right, Historia. Whether you're Queen or not, you'll always be our partner!"

"Yes, Historia, even if I eat meat every day, I won't be happy if I make a choice I don't like."

Even Eren looked up and said seriously, "Historia, you are free!"

"You, eh." Erwin was somewhat taken aback, but he didn't object to anything. In fact, deep down, Erwin didn't agree with letting this child become king, and even believed that the existence of a king was itself a sign of backwardness.

"Everyone, I..." Historia was somewhat moved, and gradually made a decision in her heart.

But just as Historia was about to state her choice...

Outside the window, the originally clear weather suddenly changed abruptly. A bolt of yellow lightning seemed to pierce through the sky and earth. In the distance, outside the towering and majestic Wall Sina, a large plume of steam rose.

A Titan red head just popped out like that.

Snap! The chair fell to the ground. Yago rushed to the window, staring intently at that familiar head. "Bertholdt! What are you trying to do?"

Yago clenched his fists. He never imagined that the Marley Warrior Unit would dare to infiltrate so deep into the city walls. Were they really that confident?

"Colossal Titan has appeared! Immediately notify the Garrison Regiment and Military Police Brigade to evacuate the civilians, and have the entire Survey Corps enter combat readiness!" Erwin's expression was extremely solemn as he immediately gave the order, then left with Hange.

"The Colossal Titan? Bertholdt? And Reiner, have they come here? Those two traitors! I'll capture them!" Eren's face gradually contorted with rage; the betrayal of Bertholdt and Reiner was the one thing he could never forgive.

"Eren! Don't be impulsive! They're definitely after you! Didn't Annie say that their goal from the beginning was the Founding Titan Power?" Armin immediately advised.

"New Recruits, move out! Wall Sina is humanity's last line of defense; it must not be breached." Levi said coldly, donning his cloak.

"Eren is not allowed to participate in the operation. Armin is responsible for keeping an eye on him. Historia also stays behind. The rest of you, prepare for battle!" Levi gave his orders concisely.

Five minutes ago, "Hey, you guys, wait! Which unit are you from?" The Garrison Soldiers stared in disbelief. Just now, when they were scolding the four strangely behaving people in front of them, two of them suddenly revealed two Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and flew towards Wall Sina with the other two.

The Garrison Soldiers responsible for patrolling the market could only watch helplessly, as he only carried a Flintlock.

"War Chief, are we really going to do this?" Bertholdt stood on the high city wall, looking down at the bustling market below, his face filled with hesitation.

"What? Do you intend to disobey orders? Or do you sympathize with these demons? Bertholdt, don't forget your identity as Marley Warriors." Zeke appeared casual, but his gaze was sharp as he stared at Bertholdt.

"Bertholdt, how many demons have died on this island because of you? I heard that after you and Reiner destroyed the walls, hundreds of thousands of demons died in the mouths of the Titan, didn't they?"

Reiner's body trembled slightly.

"No!" Bertholdt clutched his head, lowered his gaze, gritted his teeth, and shed tears. "I'm sorry..." Bertholdt whispered before leaping off the city wall.

(Sorry everyone, I had two exams Muzi, so the update is a bit late. Please forgive me.)
