[Attack on Titan] Liar

☆、Episode06. Desire of God

?*

"God loves all, and therefore He is impartial."

Gong chips are staggered.

Night, dance.

People greet each other with mask-like smiles, have similar expressions, but have their own ghosts.

deceive.

Everyone knows the other's lies.

greedy.

Delusional thinking about gaining benefits indefinitely.

It's only been less than a month since the fall of Wallmaria, and the people in front of them seem to have never happened.

Watching all this with a cold eye, watching Erwin Smith skilfully chatting through the crowd not far away, Levi had to admit that he couldn't really agree with such politics no matter what.

In fact, it was also the first time for them to participate in such a gathering. It was held for the coming-of-age ceremony of the only daughter of the First Duke Lannister family, so one can imagine the grandeur.

Perhaps, this is also thanks to the fall of Wallmaria. The investigative corps, which had been on the fringes and could not be invited, suddenly received unprecedented attention.

"For those superiors, even if you are what we believe in, you are nothing. Then, what would you choose, whether to temporarily put down your pride for more salvation, or still uphold self-confidence?"

Olivia Judd asked that question that evening in the small town, and at that time he just replied calmly: "According to your theory, it's not my responsibility to coordinate all of this."

She laughed out loud as if she had realized something, and she had never lost her composure before: "Ha... so it's like this... Puha, did I think it was wrong?"

The last sentence was barely audible.

"Ah, sorry, just pretend I didn't say anything just now."

Her voice changed, and she said earnestly like a joke: "Ah, as a god, you only need to issue the oracle. As for the execution, it is the work of us martyrs."

It is still specious words.

It's been over a month.

Since that snow day separated from her, he has never seen that person again.

Although we hadn't seen each other very often before, it was the first time that we hadn't heard from each other for such a long time, especially after the fall of Wallmaria, and the City Wall Monthly was never published again.

He also asked the survivors for information, but found nothing, and his duty meant that he could not leave the team to search.

No news is equally good news.

At least not any doom.

Occasionally, he also felt that that guy would burst out from an imperceptible corner in the next second, speak in an irritable and teasing tone, and continue to say something with her theory that he couldn't agree with.

It's like never leaving.

Levi, who was leaning against the wall and thinking this way, wanted to laugh a little, but seeing all the dance in front of him, he felt that his mood seemed to be even worse.

He sighed and looked away, only to see the familiar figure in the crowd, and he could recognize it clearly with just one glance.

The person who was still missed by him just now.

Her long light blonde hair was scattered, she lowered her head and held up her skirt, walking in a hurry, walking through the crowd as if she was looking for something, but also seemed to be escaping from something.

"Are you here because of the contents of the newspaper?" He raised his eyebrows and stopped her, who could be said to be a little rampant. I have to say that he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief the moment he saw her.

She was really fine, and the fears that had occasionally surfaced hadn't materialized.

She just raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then quickly lowered her head, her brown eyes just flashed in front of her eyes, and she couldn't see the look clearly inside.

However, Levi didn't pay much attention to it: "Who do you decide to interview this time?"

Olivia slowly raised her head, her light blond hair swaying slightly, she looked at him quietly without saying a word.

The suspicion in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he stared at her again, wearing a pure blue skirt that reached to his feet, occasionally embellished with repeated white lace, the string of green gemstones on his wrist was shining, and The dodge in the brown pupils cannot be ignored.

No matter how you look at it, it is not an outfit that an ordinary reporter can afford, let alone a ball like this, where you can come in and out casually without an identity.

So, what is she relying on?

"Are you aware?" She looked at him, with her hands folded and drooping, pinching and pulling with some force, a smile slowly squeezed out on her face.

The smile was so forced that he couldn't help but lower his eyes.

At this moment, another man in a suit suddenly came to her and patted her on the shoulder affectionately. She turned slightly to dodge but didn't say anything. The man's eyes glanced at Levi vaguely : "Okay, Olivia, don't hide here all the time, after all, you are the protagonist of this dance today."

Levi was silent and didn't speak, just looked at her.

She also looked at him, the light in her eyes flashed past.

Then, the voice slowly sounded:

"This time, if the hospitality is not good enough, please forgive me."

She quickly curtseyed to him with impeccable standards: "In the name of Olivia Lannister, I wish you a happy day. Then please allow me to entertain other guests and leave first."

Levi didn't speak again, not just because she was walking in a hurry as if she was running away, and not just because of the gray eyes of the man beside her.

Erwin pressed on his shoulders, but without force, he had lost any strength to make more than that.

He could only say one sentence: "I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation later."

Even gods, as long as there is something important, they will be subject to certain shackles.

Not to mention he's only human.

Levi thinks he still has to give up some of his pride because of something.

"Olivia Lannister, judging from today's form, is indeed the same person as that lady reporter."

"Don't say such obvious facts." Levi leaned against the carriage of the carriage and said coldly.

Unlike his frozen expression, Elvin Smith raised his eyebrows in a rare way: "You seem to be too irritated, Levi, I thought you would be happy that her purpose gradually surfaced. "

her purpose.

Yes, from the very beginning, Olivia Judd... No, Olivia Lannister's purpose was never clear, after all, she didn't benefit in the slightest from helping the Survey Corps at that time, Not to mention that she is definitely not the kind of person who yearns for freedom or wants to do her best to protect human beings.

Did you unknowingly let your guard down?Absolutely not, he never really trusted that person.

This kind of anger... is just because I feel cheated.

It was as if he was concerned about her life and death, but she was hiding in the boudoir, safe and sound.

Even more because of the other party's status, he had to do such a thing in a high place, and the "theism" that was full of mouth, seemed like a harmless joke from a superior.

And he is the object to be played with.

But the other party said from the very beginning that she was a liar, not to mention that he didn't feel the other party's malice... No matter what the purpose was, she was indeed helping the investigation corps.

The anger in his heart gradually calmed down, Levi closed his eyes, even though he knew this was the case, he was still angry about it, so what does this mean?

"Have you calmed down?" Erwin Smith said, "Levi, you seem to care a little too much about her."

"Ah, I know."

This is not a correct thing, and the existence of some things will only affect people's judgment.

In her words, it probably means that God should love all things equally, without exception.

"Lannister is the first nobleman, but the population of the family is dying now. The current owner, the Duchess Patricia Lannister, is seriously ill, and Olivia Lannister, her only daughter, undoubtedly has the first A right of succession."

The back view of Olivia kneeling in front of the grave in that snowy day flashed through his mind. In other words, is this guy witnessing his mother dying?

"As for the rest of the family, Brad Lannister is the adopted son of the previous head of the Lannister family... that is to say, he is Patricia Lannister's foster brother."

"Has that guy been under Lannister's supervision?" Levi narrowed his eyes, and he remembered her whispered words in the cemetery that day.

In front of the tomb, she called that person "Old Man", so naturally it couldn't be her grandfather.

"It was a scandal that was widely circulated in high society. The seriously ill duchess eloped with a domestic servant 20 years ago and didn't return to the family until five years later. And Olivia Lannister It's just the illegitimate daughter of the family who was brought back five years ago."

five years ago?

So before, was she adopted by the person who taught her to paint?

Maybe, Judd is a surname she also used, and it's not completely deceitful, but...

"Anyway, it's better not to have a muddy water survey corps like this."

Hearing Erwin's hidden warning, Levi just moved back against the carriage, tapping his fingers back and forth, without answering.

For a long time, only the rumble of the wheels could be heard.

Elvin Smith waited patiently for his answer, only to hear a low single tone.

"it is good."
