[Attack on Titan] Liar

☆、Episode08.Fade away

?*

She was no longer what he knew.

"You ask me what I want to do?"

"Of course, isn't that just pulling the Survey Corps down from the altar?"

Later, she did not appear again.

He didn't even find her in the crowd during the subsequent cheating, and he didn't even find her when he returned.

That's fine too.

The City Wall Monthly is still being published, but she is no longer writing it, and he has never been interviewed again.

It's not just because he once promised a little girl to only accept her interview at dusk, Levi thought, even though she lied a lot, he still kept his promise.

What a noble act in comparison.

When he opened the door and saw a "strange species" Hanji appearing in his office, Levi's first reaction was to close the door quickly. It's useless to beat him at such a time, and he insisted on helping him capture the giant alive guy.

He should hang a sign at the door: Giants and Hanji not allowed.

But this is his room.

Kicking Han Ji away as usual, Levi leaned on the back of his chair, and then looked at a certain strange person who just adjusted his glasses, a little serious, and his eyelids twitched inadvertently.

This kind of unruly person shows such an expression...

"Although Erwin warned everyone not to leak this news, I think it's better for you to know." Her voice became low, "Just tonight, she will get married."

she……?He only knew one person who could make Hanji Zoye talk like this.

Olivia Lannister.

Levi, who reacted quickly to this point, trembled slightly, but calmed down in a blink of an eye.

Ah, he should know.After all, she had that attitude that day.

Such a fragile and crazy expression on a rainy night, such a thin figure about to be swallowed by darkness.

Hanji was still rambling on: "Perhaps you know the person she is going to marry, Brad Lannister, her uncle in name, I inquired about it, it seems that it is because of the power within the Lannister family strife, for a wedding in honor of the dying Patricia Lannister."

Han Ji raised his head, his eyes burning: "Levi, there is still time to stop this."

Levi froze slightly, then narrowed his eyes rarely: "Does she need it?"

"But she must..."

"If you just want to say these things, then leave." Tapping his fingers on the table, he unceremoniously issued the order to evict the guest. "This is not something you and I can decide."

Looking at the stubborn Han Ji who was still standing there, Levi understood that if he didn't say something clearly, this guy would never give up casually: "She didn't ask us for help, and, do you think she would be incapable?" Escape?"

Han Ji looked at him quietly, then sighed softly, rubbed his eyes and left: "...just think I found the wrong person."

Levi listened to the sound of the door being closed, and he thought, probably Hanji couldn't understand the consequences of doing so, as if he was so eager to capture the giant alive and dissect it.

She never thinks about the consequences of doing things like that, and just keeps going forward, which is enviable.

He can't do whatever he wants, and she must know that, after all, she herself is the same.

It is already a miracle that living in shackles can touch each other.

What's more, when he closed his eyes, the touch of her in his arms that day was obviously so close in the exam, and some words still couldn't be said.

Even can only be teased with romantic lies.

She had already made the choice for him, after asking that question.

So be it.

That day, the lights in the survey corps commander's office stayed on all night, as if trying to disperse something that couldn't disappear.

There is no way for the ear to filter out sound, and the eyes cannot spontaneously filter out words.

Just like her news, no matter how much you resist, you will know it inadvertently.

Like the death of Patricia Lannister one month later, who inherited the title of First Duchess, and the death of Brad Lannister a year later, although I don’t want to admit it, the latter must be She did it on purpose.

Levi couldn't be more aware of how much thought is hidden under that seemingly innocent face, how proud that man is, and how he would endure the threats of others.

So he also knew that the person named Olivia Lannister was no longer the girl in the rainy night in the snow at dusk.

She was already beyond recognition.

Yes, almost five years.

The City Wall Monthly is still being updated, and it is no longer dedicated to the Survey Corps. It is still related to the Survey Corps, but it has nothing to do with him.

In addition to the rise of the survey corps, after the fall of the Wall of Maria, the religion about the three goddesses began to rise widely among the people. The Lannister family contributed a lot to it, and the power of the church sometimes even overwhelmed the military police. The head of the regiment—or the two have reached some kind of agreement long ago.

Everything in that sect seems so reasonable, and even the opinion against rebuilding the city wall is indeed in line with the inaction of ordinary people out of fear, but there is that guy...

He didn't continue to think about it, even though he was about to go to court because of Alan Yeager, a human who could turn into a giant.

For him, he was able to think so much because of this incident, but this step is already the extreme. After all, this kind of political aspect has always been handled by Erwin.

"Levi, are you ready?" Standing in front of the door, Erwin whispered.

Levi knows why he's doing it.

Such a big matter, and the sect as the main opponent means that that guy will definitely appear.

"Ah, naturally."

Which is more important, he can naturally choose.

Plus she's not that person anymore.

Inside the huge court hall, sitting in the center is naturally the judge this time, and also the prime minister of mankind. The entire hall is full of people, and there is no doubt that almost all of them are inclined to kill giants—even if he may still be Humanity.

Although Levi didn't think that he joined the Survey Corps for the sake of human beings, he still felt a little ironic about such a scene. Humans are still so scattered in the face of giants.

The Gendarmerie was almost against it with all its strength, and the church not far from them quarreled with the Gendarmerie over whether to install cannons on the wall. The whole debate was like a joke.

Move your gaze upwards, and you can distinguish her appearance from the crowd with just one glance, she is too conspicuous.

Olivia was sitting on the chair, her complicated dress was dragged to the ground, and the dark blue was swaying. She watched all this leisurely, without any intention of stopping her. The moment she met his gaze, she revealed an unusually gorgeous look. smile.

But it is so cold.

She's really like the widow of No Game No Life.

In just five years, the three city wall goddesses Maria, Rose, and Sina have become the beliefs of many people. He has no doubt that this person does have such abilities, and her every word has convincing power.

Inducing others to worship her "God".

...Because, he used to be considered that "God".

Levi turned his eyes away, rushed up at the moment Alan Yeager made an insult, kicked him hard, and his movements were crisp and neat.

According to the originally arranged script, Erwin also took the opportunity to propose that the survey corps take over, and the audience fell silent for a moment.

The time is just right.

And at this moment, he saw her looking over with a half-smile, and the priest in front of her bent down respectfully: "Mrs. Lannister, what do you think?"

Oh no.

He glanced at Erwin quickly, and saw something bad in the other's eyes.

As the Lannister of the first family, as long as she shows the slightest tendency to oppose, the layout they set up may completely fail.

The Gendarmerie did not dare to offend, and the Order has always followed Lannister as its leader, so...

"Since the two most important members of the Survey Corps have already made such a promise, I naturally have no objection." She smiled, and the priest beside her still wanted to argue, "But, ma'am, if..."

Glancing at him warningly, she continued to smile: "Well, if something happens, how about canceling the Survey Corps and incorporating it into the Military Police Corps and the Garrison Corps?"

Levi's eyes froze, is this a military order?Could such an important matter be decided by her alone?

"Ah, and Alan Yeager will also be killed. Can such a condition be accepted?"

There is no way out of rejection at all.

And the guy who was pressing every step of the way was still smiling: "Actually, as long as there is no accident, everything will be fine. Why, don't you want to?"

The masses have already been easily discussed by this sentence, and they have long been unable to get off the tiger.

"Of course not." It was Erwin who took over the words, "Then, the final result..."

"Then here, I announce that Alan Yeager will be temporarily handed over to the jurisdiction of the Survey Corps!" The Prime Minister made a final decision.

The meeting ended, the crowd dispersed, Levi stood where he was, and just threw a sentence at the others: "I'll come later."

He walked over quickly, and Olivia Lannister was sitting and chatting with the priest and bishop beside her, but when she saw him, her voice stopped abruptly.

Slightly raised his eyebrows, and there was no trace of shyness between his brows: "Oh? The captain of the investigation corps? It's rare."

She stood up: "Then I'll go back."

Walking against the flow of people, even though she was wearing a long skirt, her steps were not affected. Even though her steps were in a hurry, her every move was still full of elegance.

Finally finding a corner where no one was around, Olivia turned around, her skirt curled up in an arc: "Then what's the matter, Mr. Captain?"

The last title was deliberately bitten by her, which was the same as the title of Miss Reporter at the beginning. Realizing this, Levi couldn't help being even more angry: "...What the hell are you trying to do?"

He naturally wouldn't think that she would help him like before, but he never thought that she would be on the opposite side of the survey corps.

so determined.

"What do I want to do?" She narrowed her eyes amusedly, revealing her malice unabashedly, "How can you be so naive?"

"I'm tired of playing the game of 'the captain and the reporter guessing the lie'. Obviously, I want to bring the Survey Corps down from the altar. Yes, it's the exact opposite of what I used to do." She said, laughing mockingly, "The me at that time, and the me now, really want to kill her."

That memory was no longer a good thing for her, and she wished she had never had it.

"As an acquaintance, let it be your last goodwill." She tilted her head, as before, "It's still too late to leave now, of course it's up to you whether you accept it or not."

"That's all for now, then, goodbye."
