The Tyburs' Intent
"Far East, Blood Titan? What's wrong with this world?" In the not-so-spacious living room, Willy Tybur. His once flowing, smooth Blonde was now a mess, like a bird's nest, and his beard looked unkempt, having not been groomed for days.
Willy Deba's azure eyes were bloodshot, and he looked unusually haggard. Magath was also very surprised to see Willy in such a state, because the current Willy was so different from the spirited and righteous Willy who had conspired with him to plan the future of Marley.
Of course, Magath had also heard some unfortunate stories about the Tybur family his way to them. On the night the Eldians occupied the capital, the Tybur family was fleeing the capital on Train when the Soldiers mutinied. More than a dozen Marley Nobility, including the Tybur family, were subjected to a frenzied robbery and massacre Willy Tybur's parents, children, wife, and other members of his clan were also among those killed.
Of the Tybur family, only Willy's eldest daughter Fini Tybur, survived the chaos after being protected by a sane Officer. Fini ultimately became the sole survivor of the Tybur family.
When Willy learned of this news, he became despondent and withdrew from the upper echelons of Marley helping Magath become the new Marshal.
Willy was completely unmoved by Marshal Magath's visit until Magath told him about what had happened in the Far East, which finally stirred something in Willy's lifeless eyes.
But when Willy saw the green poison gas and the information about the Blood Titan in the intelligence report, he laughed bitterly and looked at Marshal Magath, saying, "Look at this, what is this? Eldians have always been called demons, and all nations fear the Titan Power. But Magath, look at this, now humans have turned their own kind into demons for the sake of war. How ridiculous, hahahahaha."
Magath looked at the dejected Willy, wanting to say a few words to comfort Willy, but could he really call Willy a friend? Was he even a friend to Willy, this Eldians?
"The Tybur family has always believed that the Eldians are guilty. Our ancestors shared the same idea as Carl Fritz. We helped Marley overthrow the Eldia Empire to atone for our sins. But now? We sincerely wanted the Eldians to atone, but now, someone is reaching for the power of demons. Magath Marshal, what do you think we should do?"
Willy's tone suddenly shifted, becoming stern, and his previously dejected gaze turned menacing. Magath was startled, and then, recovering from his shock, Magath asked, "Willy, do you mean... the Far East needs to be eliminated first?"
Willy stood up, his gaze deep, and said slowly and firmly, "The world will never allow another demonic race to rise again, Magath. I believe that's why you came to see me today. If it were just for the capital, you certainly wouldn't have come to me."
Magath stood up, his resolute face looking at Willy. He left the Tybur family villa without saying a word, but when he reached Willy's side, he patted Willy's shoulder lightly, as if it were a comforting gesture from an old friend.
The news of Marley Marshal's departure from the Tybur family villa was quickly noticed by some people around the Tybur family with ulterior motives, and soon the news that the Tybur family was fully supporting Magath Marshal also spread.
Magath was indeed, as Willy had said, here more to gain the support of the Tybur family than to seek Willy's advice and help. After all, the Tybur family's private influence was enough to shake the very foundation of Marley.
Now that he has the support of the Tybur family, it means that this large group of forces is definitely fully supportive of Magath, which is exactly what he wants.
Shortly after Magath left, Willy's deep gaze suddenly fell into despair again, and his straight back slumped back down, returning him to his initial listless state.
Another slender figure quietly sat down next to Willy.
Lara Tybur, the War Hammer Titan, was heartbroken to see her brother like this. Lara wasn't wearing a Maid outfit now, but a normal set of women's clothes, which, combined with her cool and aloof face, was befitting of her Marley Nobility status.
Lara looked at Willy, and finally hesitated before speaking, "Older Brother, pull yourself together. You can't fall. The Tybur family is counting on you. Also..."
Lara glanced in the direction of the villa where Marshal Magath had left, and voiced her doubts, "Why? Older Brother, if what Marshal Magath said is true, Marley will participate in the war in the Far East, then what will happen to the capital?"
Willy took a deep breath and looked at his Younger Sister, Lara, who now had less than five years left to live. "There are some things that make your heart ache just thinking about them," he said. "Lara, we are no longer the Marley we once were. Power, sin, lies, vanity... the Tybur family has done too much over the years, so much that it's frightening, so much that it's controlling Marley."
"But we also have Eldians blood flowing in our veins. This is a fact that lasts a lifetime and an eternity. No matter what we do, we can't escape our Eldians bloodline. Unfortunately, almost all Eldians don't consider our Tybur family to be Eldians. How ridiculous!" Willy suddenly sneered.
"Older Brother!" Lara looked at her Older Brother with concern. She didn't understand what Willy meant, but Willy waved his hand to indicate that he would not say anything more.
Lara lowered her head and remained silent. After a long while, Lara looked up again and said, "Older Brother, go see Fini. She's recovered very well and will be discharged in two days. She keeps crying for her father."
Hearing Fini's name, Willy's heart clenched violently, as if a sharp pain had suddenly spread through his chest. His child...
Lara: "Older Brother, Fini has recovered. Let her inherit the War Hammer in a year. My mission should end."
"No! No way!" Upon hearing that his only remaining daughter should inherit the War Hammer, Willy instinctively refused, but he saw the astonished look in his Younger Sister.
"No, Fini can't do that, she's only ten years old. We can't do this, Lara, in a year, I will inherit War Hammer!"
Lara's eyes widened, and she urgently pleaded, "Older Brother! What are you saying? No! You're Tybur's pillar of support, you can't! You're still young, you can have many more children!"
But Willy just shook his head firmly, "No! I've already wronged Fini, I can't push her into the abyss with my own hands!"
