What if you scare me into wetting myself?
"Wow, look what I found! A wild Armin on a date with Mina!" Yago teased.
Armin's face immediately flushed red. "No! No! Yago, don't talk nonsense! I didn't!"
Yago put his arm around Armin's shoulder and joked, "Hey, what's there to be shy about? We're like family. But Armin, you're quite a surprise, aren't you? Tell me honestly, did you make the first move or did Mina?"
Armin waved his hand, "That's not what we meant. Mina just wanted to invite me to dinner. Don't get the wrong idea, Yago."
"Oh~" Yago looked like he knew it. That's right, Armin's submissive attitude really does make it up to the girl to take the initiative.
Leaving aside Yago's jokes about Armin, the other Comrade in the Trost District were also enjoying their rare vacation.
Let's go visit Mark with lots of gifts, Sasha went home to reunite with her family, Connie carried a big toothbrush to brush his mother's teeth.
Mikasa went to visit Hannes, who had become the Commander of the Engineer Regiment of the Garrison Regiment. Hannes was very happy to see Mikasa and kept asking why Eren and the others hadn't come.
"Eren is on duty these next couple of days. He said he'll come visit Uncle Hannes in a few days."
Yago bought Annie a chocolate pie. Judging by the time, Selina should be boarding the ship back to the Marley Capital by now.
The outside world knew nothing about what was happening in the Capital.
"What a disaster! Daughter, this is terrible! The Military Police Brigade has mutinied!" The great Nobility Duke Vald's large face was covered in cold sweat.
His daughter, Lisa, held a book and looked puzzled. "Father, what did you say?"
Duke Vald wiped his sweat and quickly told Lisa everything that had happened in the Capital. "My money wasn't wasted after all. Someone did mention it to me at the crucial moment. Damn it, those bastards! What does their downfall have to do with me? I didn't bring them down, and they still say they're going to settle scores with me! My dear daughter, hurry up and pack your things. Let's find a place to hide first, and then find a chance to escape and find your uncle."
The bastards that Duke Vald was referring to were the Old Nobility who had been purged. Clearly, these Nobility were venting their resentment on Wald, the only high-ranking Nobility who hadn't been dealt with by the Parliament.
I don't know where Duke Vald got the news of the Imperialists's Coup from, but he's currently busy packing his valuables and fleeing.
"Lisa! Where are you going? Come back quickly! The Capital in danger!" Wald shouted at his daughter's retreating figure as she ran away, lifting her skirt.
"Coup!? Are you sure?" Instructors Keith stood up abruptly, looking at the two young Training Corps in front of him.
"Yes, Instructors, it's true! The Imperialists is plotting Coup. They even said they'd seal off the entire Capital and the Parliament Building. The Military Police in the Capital are all their people, and half of the Garrison Regiment have been taken over. What should we do?" Alex quickly explained and anxiously asked for countermeasures.
Instructors Keith wasn't the only one who knew this news Capital Training Corps; Instructors and Training Corps from other regions were equally astonished when they learned that the Imperialists Training Corps planning Coup.
Instructors Keith had a stern face, and the other Instructors around him quickly calmed the restless New Recruits down. Although they were all Instructors, everyone's eyes were on Keith, because he was the Commander Instructors Keith Survey Corps. In terms of prestige, the Instructors present were naturally inferior to Keith.
After a while, Instructors Keith shouted, "All Training Corps stay at the base, all Instructors check your equipment, follow me!"
"Yes, sir!" The Instructors, dressed in military overcoats, clenched their right fists and placed them on their left chests in Heart Salute order.
"What? Instructors, why? We can participate in the operation too!" Alex panicked when he heard that the Training Corps had to stay behind. How could they stand by and watch the Imperialists Coup a coup? This statement was supported by many Training Corps, after all, kids this age are in their hot-blooded, immature phase.
"Nonsense! What good are you greenhorns? Are you here to cause trouble? Staying here quietly is the greatest help you can give us!" Instructors Keith scolded.
"But..."
"No buts! Follow orders! Back to camp!" Instructors Keith took off his overcoat, deftly put on his Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, inserted the gleaming Blades into the empty scabbard, and refilled his Gas. Due to the special nature of the Training Corps, Keith and his Instructors wore the old-fashioned Omni-Directional Mobility Gear.
After the more than twenty Instructors were dressed, they activated their Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and soared into the air at Keith's command.
"Instructors..." Alex clenched his fists as he watched the Instructors' retreating figures.
Inside the Capital Survey Corps' base, only a dozen or so Scout remained. The Scout were unaware of what had happened and were simply carrying out their normal activities.
At that moment, a sharp-eyed Scout on guard duty outside the garrison spotted a group of fully armed Military Police rapidly approaching their position. Although it was strange, the Scout didn't think much of it until the Military Police were almost at the garrison gate before Scout forward to ask, "Military Police Brigade? What are you doing here?"
Bang! Without a word, the leading Military Police Officer kicked the Scout to the ground, and then the Military Police behind him swarmed forward.
Inside the cell, Zeke and Reiner were locked together in this small Dungeon, while Porco and Pieck were locked in another Dungeon.
The Survey Corps wasn't afraid of these Titan Warriors transforming into Titan and escaping. In such a confined space, if even one of them dared to transform, the other, who didn't transform or was slow to transform, would be crushed to death.
Even if one escapes, it's not a problem; outside the Dungeon, five Ackerman Blades await him, ready to be used to strike the delicate Titan's nape.
Compared to Reiner's dejected expression, Zeke looked much more carefree, sitting in a corner counting ants on the ground.
Outside the Dungeon, A-Yi was doodling crookedly in a small notebook with a pen. It was Annie from A-Yi. Although A-Yi -A-Yi couldn't read, he still valued the gifts from his friends. A-Yi was also very happy to see the drawings he had made in the notebook.
On either side of A-Yi are her two Older Brothers, A-Four and A-Wu. When they're bored, watching their Younger Sister draw is quite amusing.
"Hey guys, I'm so bored. Could you send us some books to read?" Zeke grumbled, having somehow appeared by the cell door.
A-Wu turned around and glared at him fiercely, "Shut up! Even if I gave you a book, would you understand it?" It wasn't that Zeke couldn't read, but rather that the script of Marley was different from that of Paradis Island, and Zeke really wouldn't be able to understand the book.
A-Wu's scars and fierce eyes made Zeke afraid to say anything louder. He muttered under his breath, "Why is he so fierce? What if he scares me to death? I only have this one pair of pants."
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the Dungeon.
