Chapter 104: The Princess

The people stranded in the underground streets of the Wall of Sheena were relocated back to the walls of Rossi, and in order to prevent enemies such as the Beast Giants from infiltrating the walls again, most of the garrisons were sent to the walls of Rossi to patrol the walls day and night.

The Rossi Walls have been completely shut down for more than a week, the economy inside the walls has been devastated, a large amount of food reserves have been depleted, and the current situation is that prices are soaring and people are panicking.

At this moment, the garrisons who had been maintaining law and order in various towns and even had the role of urban management were sent to the city wall, and the law and order in various places began to deteriorate, and theft, robbery, and brawls increased significantly.

Although the garrison corps is hacked and ridiculed every day, they have 40,000 people, and they are the largest armed force within the wall, maintaining the stability of the world inside the wall.

Today, in a remote courtyard in the wilderness of the Torloster District, the members of the New Levi Ban are temporarily hidden, including Levi, Allen, Mikasa, Amin, Jean, Sasha, Connie, Histrata, and Ymir.

As for Sister Pei and Oluo, they became the ordinary squad leaders of the Survey Corps.

Everyone sat at a table for breakfast, and Wren was also present as a member of Han Jiban, and the reason why he was here was because after obtaining detailed information, the head of the regiment would have an important task entrusted to him.

Once this matter is exposed, there may be no place for him within the entire wall.

Sisteria looked at the crowd and began to tell her story: "I was born in a small ranch north of the Wall of Sheena......"

Hysteria grew up on a ranch in the domain of the "country aristocracy" Reis, and has been helping out on the ranch for as long as she can remember.

Her mother sat under a tree every day and read a book, ignoring her, never saying a word to her, and every evening someone would drive a carriage to bring her very beautifully dressed mother to the town.

Her grandparents and grandmothers only talked to her when they taught her to work, and Heatheria felt that her life was like this, and there was nothing special about it.

At some point, she learned to read and finally realized that she was alone in the world. She tried to climb over the fence and go out to play, but was stoned back by the children outside the ranch.

Innocence does not mean kindness and gentleness, and ignorant people do not understand good and evil, and do not even know whether their actions are cruel or compassionate.

Some children do not grow up under the care and care of their parents, they grow up hurting and being hurt.

One day, Sistria plucked up the courage to throw herself into her mother's arms, and she pushed her away violently, and even then, she was glad that her mother had finally stopped being indifferent to her, however, her mother sobbed and said that she wanted to kill her, after which her mother left the ranch......

It was the only communication between them in those years, and Heatria realized that it was not a good thing that she was living in this world. She didn't know what she was doing wrong, as if the whole world had nowhere to go.

After that, she gets busy every day, so that she may forget that she is lonely, and that the animals on the ranch love her, and she loves them, because no one likes her but them.

Five years ago, one night a few days after the fall of the Wall of Mary, she met her father, Rod Reis, and learned of her identity as the illegitimate daughter of a nobleman, and she saw her terrified mother again.

Then, a group of social people in black trench coats suddenly appeared, and one of them directly slashed her mother's neck with a knife, and she later understood why her mother's last words were to say that she regretted giving birth to her.

Her father was indifferent to this, and just as she was about to be killed, he spoke.

Picking up a life, she went incognito, and like Eren Mikasa, two years after she went to open up the wasteland, at the age of 12, she joined the 104th Training Corps and met Yumir, the first person who really cared about her.

After that, Wren taught her a bunch of "fallacies", and if someone throws a stone at you, you will throw a brick back. You're not money, you can't make everybody like you or something.

After hearing what Sistria had to say, the crowd fell silent, and she got up, walked out of the hut, and went into the wilderness.

The green grass reached the hill, the warm wind blew through the fields, blowing the girl's skirt, and the unknown wildflowers came with a faint fragrance, and the girl could not help but burst into tears.

Ymir and Wren also got up and walked out, no one following them.

Heatria's eyes were red, and she cried, "Am I the kind of kid that no one wants?" ”

Yumir was distressed, took her in his arms, gently stroked her blonde hair, and said gently, "No, I want to...... With you until the end of your life. ”

Wren watched all this silently, the warm sunlight shining on his face, and he recalled that distant afternoon, after visiting Karin, he took the manuscript of the ninth set of martial arts and returned with Gray.

"I don't really understand why Karin has three husbands, I don't think she's very happy." Karen asked.

Gray's face had a bitter smile on his face: "It doesn't hurt to tell you, many years ago, when Karin was a little girl, she was innocent, playing in the gardens of the Imperial Palace all day long, or reading those heroic epics until ......"

Until one day, when the king said that he would marry her to the eldest son of a great nobleman, Karin was very bold, and she secretly investigated the fiancΓ© and learned that the other party was a scumbag who was a golden and jade person.

She is against this marriage, it is not that she does not want to marry, but she hopes that she can choose a good husband again.

The king's father, who had always doted on her, rejected her and reprimanded her for not knowing the rules and daring to investigate her fiancΓ© in private.

And her mother, who has always been gentle, also admonishes her not to think too much and listen to her father, Karin realizes that only obedient she is a good child, and as a princess, she should be sent to marriage.

Karin cried bitterly, realizing that her parents didn't really love her, and they didn't care about her lifelong happiness at all.

She secretly checked whether she had knightly talents, and then asked for help from a female knight who returned to the palace to report to the Border Knights, and she took Karin to the border White Tower City.

Being a princess did not give Karin preferential treatment at the Knight Academy, and she was harassed by some people, and her parents wanted her to retreat and come back as a tool for marriage.

Karin is very hard-working, and her results are among the best, especially in the field of martial arts, she is proficient in fists, palms, legs, swords, sticks and guns almost all martial arts, and even widely dabbles in various folk martial arts moves, learning from others.

As for how much she suffered for this, how many injuries she suffered and the cynicism of others, only she knows.

When graduation was approaching, Gray confessed to Karin, and she had a complicated look and said this to him:

"I didn't come here to be a knight to protect humanity, nor did I do it for some kind of honor, I don't care at all whether the empire is glorious or decaying.

It's just that...... I have never understood whether a person lives in this world to enjoy life or to suffer sin. ”

Then Gray's confession was directly rejected.

Karin got married not long ago, and married three men at the same time, which undoubtedly swollen the face of the royal family, although because of the existence of female knights, the status of women in the empire is not low, but this is also a very shocking thing.

Anyway, the people of the whole empire were talking about it at that time, and I don't know how many people in the market scolded Karin for being a dissolute woman, and some people were watching the jokes of the royal family.

When Karin brought the invitation to the palace, the king, who was at lunch, tore it apart, and was so angry that he overturned the banquet and roared loudly, scolding Karin for losing the face of the royal family.

In the imperial system, the royal family is only the largest noble, and the power is not as great as that of the centralized emperor.

Gray said with a bit of sarcasm on his face: "His Majesty the King has nothing to do with Karin, who is already the head of the Rose Knights, except for his incompetent rage. ”

With some sadness on his face, Gray sighed: "Karin told me that she didn't have a choice before, she was so desperate, just to make a new choice."

It's just that...... I also never understood whether she was mocking the fate that had bound her all along, or torturing herself. ”

Time passed quietly, and after a while, Histeria wiped the tears from her eyes: "Wren, can you go for a walk with me?" ”

"Okay."

The two of them walked in a field full of flowers and plants, and Yumir didn't know why he didn't follow.

After a while, Sisteria sat on the grass with her hands on her knees, and Wren sat next to her, and the two did not speak, but quietly stared at the blue sky in a daze.

After a long time, Wren said softly: "Sasha's father, Mr. Blaus, once told me that we are all part of the world, and that no one can live alone from the crowd, and everyone can help each other to keep going. ”

Histria turned her head and stared at him with big blue eyes, "Are you comforting me?" ”

Shaking his head slightly, Wren smiled gently: "No, how embarrassed am I to say that I can understand your loneliness, I actually don't fully agree with that sentence." ”

He picked up a flower and sniffed the fragrance: "I think that although everyone warms each other and seems to be connected, in fact, everyone's heart is separated from the world of others, and what you think is actually only known to you, and we cannot feel the pain of others."

Everyone is an island, so we will not drown in each other's sorrows, and can quickly recover from the misfortunes of others. ”

Wren handed the flower to Sistria, and she took it with her small white hand with a faint smile on her face.

"But that's what we do, how small we are, and I wish you the blessing to be able to choose your own way of life."

Wren stood up and stepped on the soft grass, the girl holding flowers in her hand and watching him leave.
