A Sudden Incident

"Wait, who are you people?" A Military Police dressed in Unicorn Uniform stopped Yago and his group at the manor gate.

Yago felt the Military Police in front of him looked very familiar. After thinking for a moment, he realized, "Ah, isn't this Marlo, whom I met once before?"

In Big Eren's Memories, Marlo joined the Survey Corps and ultimately sacrificed himself on the way to defeat the Beast Titan.

However, it seems that Marlo has not chosen to join the Survey Corps.

Marlo naturally didn't recognize Yago, whom he had only met once, but he stopped the New Recruits who wanted to see Historia out of duty.

"We're here to see Historia, right? She should have mentioned it, shouldn't she?" After explaining and confirming Marlo signaled to the other Military Police behind him to let them pass.

Due to special circumstances, Yago sent Annie back to rest first, while Connie and Jean were also transferred by Captain Levi, who was still recovering from his injuries, to help with the Survey Corps' recruitment work.

Therefore, only Yago, Eren, Armin, Mikasa, Sasha, and Ymir came to see Historia this time.

After entering the manor, the group went straight to Historia's study.

Two Garrison stood watch at the door of Historia's study. Garrison Soldiers did not bear the insignia of the Three Military Branches, making their identities clear to everyone: the direct Garrison of the Command Headquarters Staff.

In other words...

The door opened, and President Zackly, wearing glasses, came out of the study.

"You will become a kind and great Queen." Zackly said, turning and leaving the study. He saw Yago and the others, nodded slightly, and then left with his Garrison.

"Ymir? Is that you? Come in quickly." Historia's voice came from the study.

The group hurried inside and saw Historia sitting at her desk, with many documents in front of her.

"Historia! I've missed you so much! You're already so tired before you've even Queen, it breaks my heart." Ymir didn't care about anything else and rushed over to hug Historia.

Historia smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I should have gone to greet you. But I've been really busy lately. I just discussed the issues concerning the people in the Underground City with President Zackly. There are still many orphans and children in the Underground City who need help."

"As expected of our Historia, she's so kind!" Ymir hugged Historia even tighter.

"Historia really works very hard and is truly remarkable. She's beautiful and kind," Eren praised. It was unusual for Eren to praise someone like this, though it would have been even better if he hadn't praised other girls in front of Mikasa.

Mikasa's eyelids drooped, and a faint resentment emanated from her, causing Yago, who was standing to the side, to shiver inexplicably.

Armin said, "So, did Historia call us here for something? The coronation Ritual is tomorrow."

Historia nodded and said, "It's for tomorrow's coronation Ritual. The priests of the Wallist Church say that they can choose a few honored Soldiers to attend my coronation Ritual tomorrow, so I hope you can participate, and of course, Annie and the others too."

Yago was somewhat moved by Historia's last words. Regardless, the fact that Animalai warriors were known still made some people wary, even though only a few knew Animalai's true identity.

Historia's actions clearly demonstrated her trust in Annie, which touched Yago deeply. Yago also didn't want Annie to always be alone and unsociable.

"Honorary Soldiers? That sounds really impressive!" Sasha said, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

"It is indeed a great honor." Yago nodded.

"Eren, I heard you've been working on Hardening experiments lately, how's it going?" Historia asked.

Eren nodded and said, "It's alright. I've already completed most of the Hardening. Section Commander Hange recently came up with an idea that supposedly allows me to use my Hardening ability to kill Titan."

"Really? Eren, that's impressive." Historia said with a smile.

Just as everyone was chatting, bang!! A Flintlock rang out from outside the door.

"What happened? Why was there a gunshot?" Ymir quickly pulled Historia behind her, looking wary, unsure who the Titan Power was.

Yago and Mikasa exchanged a glance; clearly, the two powerful Soldiers present realized something was amiss.

"Eren, hide behind me!" Mikasa shouted to Eren.

Eren, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, said, "Mikasa! Don't treat me like a child!"

Yago leaned close to the door. His body, enhanced by the Titan Power, was incredibly strong, and his hearing was far superior to that of an ordinary person.

Yago faintly heard a few muffled screams and faint hissing sounds.

"Omni-Directional Mobility Gear?" Yago frowned, turning his head and saying, "Something's not right. I heard the sound of Omni-Directional Mobility Gear. We need to get out of here; we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Everyone agreed. Yago opened the door and went out first. Historia's study was located at the far end of the second floor, with only one staircase leading downstairs.

Just as Yago hesitated about whether to go down the stairs, a loud hissing sound reached everyone's ears.

Four figures appeared from the stairwell. They wore black uniforms they had never seen before, and on their legs and waists were devices they had never seen before. There was a small gas canister on their lower back, which seemed to be the Gas canister of the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, just like the device used by the former Central Military Police, but they were not equipped with Flintlock.

Even stranger, everyone wore a hood, a black mask that only revealed their eyes and was decorated with strange symbols, and each person held two Dagger.

"Who are you people!" Armin shouted at the figures. The four men exchanged a glance, simultaneously sheathed their Dagger, and then raised their arms, charging towards Yago and his companions.

"Such speed!" Yago exclaimed in surprise. Before he could react, a man in black had already rushed in front of him and threw a punch at Yago's face. Yago had no time to react and could only passively parry.

On the other side, Mikasa also engaged in combat with two men in black.

Barely dodging a side kick, Yago was utterly shocked. Yago, who was always very confident in his skills, was genuinely surprised. The man in black in front of him was far too skilled, and Yago could only barely parry.

On the other side, Armin had already been knocked unconscious by a man in black, Ymir was also subdued by a man in black while protecting Historia.

"Ymir! Let her go!" Historia cried out anxiously, her hand already pressed to her mouth.

"Damn it! Who are you people?!" Eren had taken quite a few punches, was also furious.

Each of the men in black was incredibly skilled; even Mikasa was struggling to keep up.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, Yago suddenly became fierce and gripped the man in black's arm tightly. At the same time, he also suffered a heavy blow to the stomach, causing Yago to bend over in pain.

But Yago gritted his teeth and endured it, taking the opportunity to rip off the mask of the man in black. A completely unfamiliar face appeared in front of Yago, with Black Hair Black Eyes, rosy cheeks and white teeth. She looked to be a girl about the same age as Yago and the others, but there was no emotion in the girl's Black Eyes.

Without thinking twice, Yago reached out to unleash the Titan Power. He had been hesitant earlier because of the confined space and Sasha and the others, but now, without using the Titan Power, Yago felt he wouldn't last long; these guys were too ferocious.

But the next moment, Yago's mind went blank, and a strong sense of dizziness washed over him. In the last instant before losing consciousness, he heard a cold voice say, "A-Yi, everything's been taken care of. What about the others besides the King?"

"Take away this Titan Power, and this Ackerman, she should be a queen like us..."

Yago, without even using the Titan Power, lost consciousness.
