[Attack on Titan] behind the scenes

On the vast field of the training corps, every recruit is being baptized by the instructor.

After all, it was a peaceful age, and there were not many people joining the Corps.Levi stood in the shade and looked at them casually, wondering how many people could survive?

What's more, such a small number of people have to be divided into two other corps, and there are very few people who are really willing to join the survey corps...

"Is there a person over there?"

Nanaba, who was in charge of training the recruits, raised his head and looked at the flat ground on the top of the mountain. Several conspicuous horses appeared on the top of the mountain. They were clean and did not seem to have walked around here at random.Looking at the people sitting on it, everyone was dressed gorgeously. The women all wore high-end sun hats, complicated handmade long skirts, and leather high boots.As for the men, they wore suits and leather shoes.

It was obvious at a glance that they were the nobles in Sheena's walls.

"It's really interesting." Nanaba said calmly.

For some nobles who have nothing to do to watch the recruits, he has long seen it strange.Those eyes, as if looking at captive animals, make people unhappy, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Even if the training corps is just a circus-like place in their view, the training must continue.

Levi was also not interested, but after many days of communication made him recognize someone from the nobles.

Felicia was riding on horseback, and her deep pupils under the wide-brimmed sun hat looked at every trainer, as if there was her hope there.

"I really don't know what's the point of doing this!"

The man sitting on the back of the pitch-black horse spat, his eyes full of contempt.

"Just take a look at what we Felicia desperately guard~"

The leading man spoke in an amiable manner, unable to hear the sarcasm, but seemed to be concerned about her by the elders.

"Do you have any dissatisfaction, Baron Gary?"

"Of course! To supply our people while they are still toiling, useless waste!"

Baron Gary proudly puffed out his chest, as if he was speaking for the common people.

Felicia didn't expose him, and he who was still holding a luxurious banquet last week said this righteously, which made Felicia disagree.

"Whether it works or not, I believe they will prove it sooner or later."

Felicia didn't intend to have a verbal argument with him, not to mention that this is not a parliament, and it would be pointless to win the argument.

"Didn't Barron give you a generous sum of money recently? I really don't know how he promised you!"

The man Baron Gary was talking about was the fat pig who quarreled with Felicia in the last parliament. The inexplicable change in his attitude is really puzzling. face.Who cares about the face of the dead?

As if she didn't hear it, Felicia straightened her hair on the sideburns and said, "Who knows."

***

The 51st investigation outside the wall begins.

Felicia stayed quietly in her office, the room was very spacious that day, there was no annoying 160cm snatching black tea with herself, there was no reserve leader who was used to preaching, and there was no chatting in the past.

But facing such an empty room, Felicia also felt uncomfortable.

Every time she investigates outside the wall, she seems to have nothing to do with the survey corps, and can only sit quietly in the office, waiting for the report at dusk.

At this time, I'm afraid I can't do anything except pray, right?There was nothing Felicia could do about her sense of incompetence.

I only hope that there will be no more problems with their equipment this time, I only hope that the number of casualties will be reduced this time, and I only hope that every adventure can bring back meaningful intelligence...

Although I have seen many companions die... But Felicia couldn't accept it calmly anyway.Especially the death of acquaintances...

I hope Erwin and the others are okay... Felicia stared out the window for a while, as if she could get the answer from there.She didn't even dare to think about how she would feel if she greeted the bodies of Erwin and others.

After hastily finishing the material deduction text submitted to the chamber of commerce, Felicia put on her own lace kauri and walked into the palace.

The interior of the resplendent palace is made of gold pillars, the floor is covered with smooth marble, and the translucent religious paintings can reflect the zenith.

Felicia has already seen the strangeness, and it is not known how many times she has entered the palace as a matter of course.

Every time, he stood alone on the clean ground waiting to be summoned.Noda's royal family reflects Felicia's figure.

Although they are nobles, there is also a clear hierarchy among nobles.Not every nobleman can meet the royal family, even if he is himself, thanks to the title he inherited from his father, he can reluctantly face the emperor's concubines.

It is necessary to infiltrate the royal family. Felicia has always felt that there must be something in the royal city!

It's just that I don't know... No, maybe not many people in the royal family know about it.

There are not many people who can meet the royal family, and there are very few people who can know the secret... Felicia can only act in silence, and she has explored many times to show people the front, but every time In vain.Many times, Felicia even began to wonder if her intuition was wrong?

Is it because of persistence, or because you don't want to admit it?Felicia is no longer willing to think too much, since she wants to find the answer, she must take risks!I had no choice but to come to inquire many times.

"Hello, Princess Ferona"

Entering the harem, the woman on the throne is wearing a large handmade shawl, and the embroidered front open skirt is dragged to the ground, a row of graceful and luxurious.

Seeing Felicia, the woman smiled kindly.

"Ah, it's Felicia. Come here."

The princess patted the red velvet cushion embroidered with gold thread beside her, motioning for Felicia to go over.

Felicia walked up to her side respectfully and sat down upright, with an eternal smile on her face.

"The embroidery you brought a few days ago is only half-embroidered, and it's still waiting for you to finish it."

After all, the princess asked the maid to bring up the embroidery from a few days ago.

Felicia took over the semi-finished product and continued to embroider stitch by stitch.

"Aren't you busy today?" Seeing that Felicia was free to come, the princess asked kindly.On weekdays, Felicia is busy raising funds, so how can she come to the palace?

"Yes, the investigative corps went to investigate outside the wall, and they won't be able to return until the evening. I'm really sorry that I have time to meet the princess."

"Really... But the Corps is like your home, I can understand that I won't blame you. However, I heard that you have a very good relationship with the captain of the Corps, Erwin... Is it true?"

"kindness"

"Then you want me to help you...?"

The princess's sudden kindness made Felicia's sewing hands pause for a moment.Then Felicia laughed even bigger.

"The princess misunderstood. We have been friends for many years. Back then when my brother worked under his command, he also took care of him a lot. Therefore, if I wanted to thank him for my brother, I naturally got closer."

"That's right...you're almost at the age of marriage, you can think about it."

"Felicia would rather serve the princess all her life than marry."

"Hehe, Felicia is joking again."

Felicia laughed wildly with the princess, and changed the topic along the way.

"In a few years, your coming-of-age ceremony will be here, are you prepared?"

Time flies, Felicia can't remember how many birthdays have passed, she only remembers being hostile to profiteers day after day, and reviewing the supplies of various corps day after day.

After being reminded by the princess, Felicia remembered.

"...Not really. I want to save some money for the corps. A mere ceremony doesn't need to be extravagant."

"Since it's a coming-of-age ceremony, of course it can't be too casual. I can lend you the front hall of the palace, just talk to the executive if you need anything. Then you can invite more friends to come, I agree."

"Thank you princess, I will."

On the surface, casually agreed, but Felicia was crying in her heart.How could she be in the mood to celebrate her birthday, and besides, Felicia didn't have many friends, it was impossible for nobles to have such a relationship.

As for the members of the Corps... Felicia doesn't even want to have a good relationship with anyone in the Corps...

Otherwise, on the day they die, I will definitely be very sad... Even so, I can't show my sadness at that time, because there are still many people who have come forward to continue the cause of slaughtering giants!

And I have to forget about them...

...that day will never come.

Felicia thought firmly.

Even if they die, they won't die!

...that day will never come, Felicia sincerely hopes...it is her only wish in this world.
