[Attack on Titan] behind the scenes

It was already [-] o'clock in the evening after leaving Petra's house, Felicia stretched herself facing the dusk sky.During the conversation, she didn't dare to move around, instead she made herself very tired.

"Speaking of which, do you still want to continue to comfort others?"

"Gone."

"Is that so... then let's go back together? Seeing that our sub-leader seems to barely pass the persuasion ability, I can feel at ease."

"Hmph, it was just a needless worry."

The two walked on the way back to the city, chatting without a word.I don't know whether it was a whim or a premeditated plan, but Felicia suddenly had an idea when passing the wall of Ruth.

"By the way, do you want to have a drink? Anyway, it's okay to go back now"

"...It doesn't matter. I know a few good ones, come with me."

Perhaps because he has long been used to going back and forth among the three walls, Levi is very familiar with the bar on Ruth's Wall.Felicia followed him around for a long time before arriving at the bar he wanted to go to.

When the wooden door was pushed open, the bell above the corner of the door suddenly rang.When Levi rushed into the store, he heard the friendly greeting from the bar owner.

"Yo, Levi, long time no see"

"It's not long, is it? Jack, the old rules." Levi pointed to the deepest private room, indicating that he still has friends, Jack nodded and stopped cleaning the glass, and mixed drinks for Levi himself.

After entering the private room, the bartender quickly began to serve drinks in an orderly manner.Levi just ordered some beer casually, which seemed to be of no nature.

On Felicia's side, there was a pink liquid in the goblet, thick foam covered the mouth of the bottle, and bursts of strawberry fragrance overflowed from the cup.

"what is this?"

"A mixture of cocktail strawberry wine and milkshake. I can't imagine you drinking the same thing as us." After that, Levi raised his head and drank the beer in the wooden glass.

"Are you underestimating me? Next time I have a chance, I will drink you until I vomit! Human beings are the strongest drunk vomit, it makes people feel good~"

Beautiful your sister.Levi added in his heart, it's a different matter who drinks who when the time comes!

Felicia held the tall slender glass and brought the pink concoction to her mouth.Although it is a wine blend, the fruity taste is more intense. After the entrance, it tastes sweet and strong, and the fragrance of strawberries is not annoying.It didn't take a while for her to drink it up.

"It is indeed a good store. Do you have any other recommendations?"

"It's really greedy, you..." Even though he said so, Levi still chose all kinds of alcohol suitable for girls to drink for her.

Rum with lemon fragrance, green plum tequila with a little bitterness, and whiskey dyed bright red with cherries are all brought to the wine table one by one.

"The wine here is still the same" Can't tell whether it's dissatisfaction or praise, Levi changed a glass of vodka, and continued to drink with Felicia.

"Yes, as a thank you, I will sneak into the palace and find you a good bottle of wine next time~" Felicia's face was a little drunk, and the pink color made her smile look more real than usual.

"Is that so..." Stealing wine from the royal family is really thanks to her.And it doesn't look like a joke.Levi just laughed it off.

However, seeing Felicia's eyes looking at the wine glass, some doubts came to mind.He couldn't forget the conversation earlier in the day.

Alcohol is such a good thing that everything can be blamed on it.

"Erwin is worried about your marriage" Suddenly, Levi said this.

The hand shaking the wine glass suddenly stopped, Felicia frowned inadvertently, and then smiled wryly.

"This thing again... Erwin said?"

Thinking of Erwin's reluctant face, Levi wondered if he had sold him?

"answer my question"

"Levi, if you want to care about me, can you not tell me in the name of Erwin?"

"I have nothing to do with you, it's because he said he cares about you as a younger sister." Levi comforted himself just by the way.

As her coming-of-age ceremony is getting closer, I believe those in power are also secretly planning in their hearts.After all, her status is too special, and her decision, the decision of the nobles, will affect everyone.

"Hmph~ Is that what Erwin said?"

Felicia leaned on her right arm and couldn't help but want to laugh. Of course, the reason why Erwin wanted to help him was not for this reason.Maybe they just don't want to let part of the exercise power of the Corps fall into the hands of others.

Sister or something, he is old enough to be his uncle, right?

"Let's go out and talk about those things. It's too bad to talk about it while drinking."

Without saying anything more, the two of them drank a lot of wine and exchanged thoughts.It wasn't until closing time that the two reluctantly left the bar.

The night is silent, only the starry sky is bright.Like pearls, the full moon hangs in the sky and casts a silver glow on the earth. The brightly lit houses make people almost forget that this is an era of fear.

Although it was time to go home, the two stopped at the mouth of the river.

"Wow... really shouldn't be mixed with so many kinds of wine... I'm so dizzy" Felicia hung on the fence, resisting the urge to vomit.

On the other hand, the man on the side is more than capable.

"Give me the answer quickly, I'm not interested in seeing it spit out, it's so dirty"

Obviously he hasn't vomited yet, but Levi folded his arms and ignored Felicia on the railing as if he saw the next scene.

"...Levi... how much longer do you think... I can last?"

After a moment of silence, Felicia spoke.It doesn't sound like a drunk person, maybe she is the same, she can only speak through alcohol.

Levi's surprised she's saying this.For several years, both he and Erwin were used to giving her their backs.

Exquisite combat equipment, plentiful food, sufficient funds...they just enjoyed all of this as a matter of course.This is the compensation for pouring out your life for them.And Felicia always smiles and offers them...

For the first time, Levi saw a little helplessness on her face.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, many nobles will start to propose marriage. At first, she may be able to refuse one, two, three, but how will she refuse ten or twenty in the next month?Or reject all the nobles in the wall of Sheena?

No, that won't work.Even I have a shelf life, unlike soldiers...

Felicia has a good sense of her own worth.Of course she knew that she was not such a noble person, and she was nothing at all except for her title and wealth... maybe even worse than a farming farmer.

So you must exchange for the best bargaining chip before your shelf life expires... at least someone who can continue to provide financial resources for the Corps!

Thinking of these, her thin eyebrows frowned again.

"Sorry to tell you this."

Obviously not someone who is good or bad, and he didn't drink that much, how could he say these words?Thinking of this, Felicia smiled bitterly, quickly put away the short-lived truth, stood up straight, and returned to her previous look.

There is no place to discuss, and only you can answer your own troubles, worries, and doubts.

Whether it's Erwin or Levi, they just need to concentrate on fighting.Leave the rest to yourself.

"I just hope that you will treat me as a prop, just as I treat others as props for slaughtering giants. Only in this way can we analyze objectively and calmly, without adding emotions to left and right judgments."

"you..."

"It's okay, I'll go back first, there are other things waiting for me."

Felicia politely rejected Levi, as if she was about to leave.

And Levi, somewhat understands why Erwin wants to find someone to marry her off as soon as possible...

"One last question." This time, Levi understood that this was the answer he wanted to know.

"what?"

"What if you fell in love with someone?"

"Puff... Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff Puff !!

The originally fierce eyes and face looked even more gloomy, as if it could be turned into a sharp knife to pierce him.Seeing this, she restrained herself.

"I told you, I won't be emotional anymore."

"Even falling in love with a man?" He confirmed again.

"Yes." Felicia, like him, confirmed again.

Should she be praised for her determination, or should she be blamed for being too responsible?Levi frowned for a long time.

"Whatever you want, don't regret it"

"...Will not"

How far can you go?

How long can you go?

How long can it last?

Felicia doesn't want to think about it, because even if there is only one step, even if it is only a tiny bit, she will go, even if the next step will make herself fall...Even so, she must go on.
