Sin

"Reiner, have a seat. We're old friends, let's talk," Yago said casually.

A bead of cold sweat slid down Reiner's forehead. He stared nervously at Yago, and after much deliberation, Reiner finally sat down in the chair in front of Yago.

After seeing Reiner sit down, Yago clapped his hands lightly. Soon, several Soldiers in military uniforms walked in. However, although these Soldiers were wearing Marley uniforms, they all had red scarves tied around their arms.

A red scarf tied around an arm? Reiner was surprised, then suddenly seemed to realize something, "Eldians?"

Yago didn't answer Reiner's question. He waved his hand, and several Soldiers quickly came to Yago's side. "Take these children to the next room. Thank you for your help."

"Yes, Boss Yago!" The leading Soldiers looked at Yago with eyes full of admiration. Although Yago was not as old as him, Reiner's guess was actually correct. These Soldiers were indeed Eldians, and they were all core members of the Eldia Revival Army.

Not long ago, Selina specifically announced this news to the members of the Eldia Revival Army: the true core leader of their Restoration Army was none other than Yago, disguised as the Marleyan Loa!

This news truly ignited the morale of the Restoration Army. It turned out that their Restoration Army leader had been fighting alongside them all along! Moreover, they were about to accomplish a feat unprecedented in a century! They would liberate all their Eldia compatriots!

Several Soldiers carried, lifted, and lifted the several Warrior Candidate who were bound like rice dumplings out of the room.

As Gabi was being carried past Reiner, she struggled desperately. Although her mouth was gagged, Gabi tried her best to make muffled noises, but Reiner seemed not to hear her at all. He sat there with his head down, not daring to move.

This was also because Reiner was filled with concerns. Since Yago had suddenly appeared here, he couldn't be sure if his former Comrade from Paradis Island were also here.

Thinking of Eren, Armin, Mikasa, and Historia, Reiner felt a sudden pang of gloom. If he could do it all over again, Reiner wouldn't want any of this to happen again.

But there are no "what ifs" in life. No matter what, the mistakes of the past have been made, and no amount of making up for them will be enough. Now, Reiner can only pray that his family will not be implicated.

Resistance? With the Armored Titan's power alone, Reiner had no chance of winning. Putting aside Yago's immense Titan Power, just recalling the short figure in his memory who spun rapidly through the air and strangled Titan was enough to make Reiner tremble.

"Zofia, you should go and rest too. We'll need you to help your sister Aili later," Yago said gently to Zofia.

Reiner was already dejected, suddenly heard another bombshell, "Aili?? How did she get involved with Yago and the others? Wasn't she the new Titan Warriors chosen by the higher-ups?"

Reiner was even more confused.

Upon hearing that she would also be helping Aili, Zofia immediately perked up and happily agreed to leave the room, leaving only Reiner and Yago in the room.

At the same time, Willie Deba also walked onto the stage, wearing a custom-made, luxurious gown.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ambassadors and representatives from all over the world, and outstanding and dedicated journalists, first of all, welcome to this meeting. I, Willy Tybur, as the special ambassador of the Marley, thank you all for attending." After speaking, Willy bowed deeply in greeting.

Willy's actions drew applause and cheers from the audience.

More than half a minute later, Willy straightened up again, glanced almost imperceptibly at the stands where the Marley Nobility were, paused, and then slowly began in a low voice, "This is a very long story... more than a hundred years ago..."

"Yago, how did you get here?" After struggling for a long time, Reiner finally asked nervously.

Yago: "So how did you all come to our Paradis Island in the first place?"

Reiner's heart clenched, his lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Yago continued, "Bertholdt is dead, and not long ago, we inherited his Colossal Titan."

Reiner lowered his head, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

"Reiner, tell me, why did you break down the city walls and disrupt the century-old peace within the Walls?"

Reiner's eyes widened suddenly, tears welling up in them. "I'm sorry! Yago, it's all my fault. I'm the one who stubbornly insisted on destroying the walls and ruining the peace of the Eldians!"

Yago's expression turned cold. "So? What's the reason for destroying the walls?"

Reiner said dejectedly, "To sneak into the city walls."

Why did you infiltrate the city walls!?

Reiner: "Because we need to take this opportunity to find the Founding Titan and bring back the Founding Titan's Coordinate Power."

"What's the reason?"

Reiner: "Take the Founding Titan and save the world."

"Saving the world? Hahaha, that's the funniest joke I've ever heard," Yago scoffed. "Bringing the Founding Titan back to Marley is saving the world? How? Is it the Eldians on Paradis Island who want to destroy the entire world?"

Reiner was speechless.

Yago stood up, grabbed Reiner by the collar, and yanked him off the chair, demanding fiercely, "Reiner, do you know what you're doing? Who are you trying to take the Founding Titan for? Marley! Why does Marley want the Founding Titan? Tell me!"

Although Reiner is taller than Yago, he was completely overwhelmed in terms of presence.

"Yes, we know. Marley wants to further control the Titan Power through the Founding Titan and fight for Marley."

Yago pointed outside and said to Willy's voice, "Did you hear that? What did Tybur say? We Eldians used the Titan Power to bloodily rule the world, so we are called demons. But what did Marley do after obtaining the Titan Power?"

Yago pulled Reiner to the window, where they could see the blurry, dazzling stage.

"Do you see that? Such a glitz and glamour, what do the Marleyan rely on? It's the countless Eldia Soldiers died in the Marley for them, the innocent Eldians who were forcibly kicked off the Airship by the Marleyan and turned into cannon fodder for Titan, it's what they paid for with their lives!"

But have the Marleyan ever realized this? They openly curse us Eldians as demons, yet they themselves are still plotting for demonic power! And look at those clowns in the audience, look at their hypocritical masks.

They also claim the Eldians are demons, yet now they shamelessly applaud the Marley who wield demonic power—how ironic!

Yago released Reiner, Reiner stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Reiner, you're right about one thing: you are a sinner, and you have committed an unforgivable sin."
