"So, what exactly happened here?"
Bai Yu leaned against the doorframe, looking at Nile Dok, the Commander of the Military Police Brigade, who stood before Erwin.
"We learned the whereabouts of the spinal fluid from Rod Reiss, so we had him take us to retrieve it. Then, the moment we got it, he smashed the glass vial containing the spinal fluid and drank it. What happened afterward was just as you described..."
Bai Yu couldn't help grumbling.
"Come on, old man! Lord Reiss and Christa were the only people with royal blood we had left. Now you've gone and done this. That makes things difficult."
Erwin gave a slight nod as well.
"Dok, Darius may summon you for questioning over this. We still haven't unraveled the secrets of royal blood or the Founding Titan, and Christa will be the next queen. What happened will cause us a great deal of trouble."
Bai Yu pursed his lips, with no intention of interrupting, and waited quietly. He knew Erwin probably had something to ask him afterward.
Before long, Erwin saw Dok out, then called Bai Yu over.
"Bai Yu, do you think we should put Christa on the throne?"
Bai Yu thought for a moment before speaking.
"That's up to you guys. You're the Commander, not me."
Bai Yu gave a casual laugh. Erwin probably already had an answer in mind; he just wanted to hear what Bai Yu had to say.
Logically speaking, Christa had to take the throne. First, it would keep her from running around and ensure the royal bloodline stayed under surveillance. Second, it would keep her safe. Third, it would make her easier to control. Fourth, she was the only one left. If she kicked the bucket too, the royal bloodline really would be gone!
