Jike looked at the familiar words and was stunned.

He continued to look down, and from here on, every other note, there was Grisha's confession to him.

Through these three notebooks, he thoroughly understood the truth of the year.

It turned out that it was the man's handiwork, the man codenamed "Owl", who concealed the royal identity of Dinah Fritz, which led to the exile of Jike's mother.

His father's entry into the wall was also designed by the man, and the owl also gave his father an order to seize the power of the Ancestral Giants and restore the glory of the Restoration.

But his father didn't do that, and he inherited Attack on Titan from the "Owl" and started a new life within the walls.

Instead of looking for the Ancestral Giants, Grisha Yeager reunited his family with a woman named Kalula and spent some time in peace.

He seems to harbor a deep sense of guilt for this tranquility of his own, constantly in his notes, confessing to his past lover, to his son.

"Dad... You... You really deserve it... I betrayed my mother..."

Jike closed the note and looked up to meet Ian's eyes.

"Did you already know? I am Grisha Jaeger's son. ”

"It's hard not to notice, after all, he misses you a lot, doesn't he?" Ian sent someone to retrieve the notes.

"What's going on with my mom? Didn't she turn into a giant in front of my dad? You let her inherit the power of giants? ”

"The heir to the power of the giant can see the memories of the previous heir, Grisha lived in the walls for a long time, and before the end of his thirteen-year life, he found an heir for himself, and we relied on the memory picture that the heir saw, and found the giant that Dina Flitz became, so that she inherited the power of the giantess and regained consciousness."

Jike frowned, he didn't know what kind of life his mother lived in the wall, but the royal blood was precious blood, and the people of the royal family could have some unique abilities when they inherited the power of giants.

For example, he himself can control the Innocent Giant with his roar, and his spinal fluid also has a special effect, if the Eldian breathes the mist of his spinal fluid evaporation, he will become a giant under his roar, and there is no need for a special spinal fluid potion.

As far as Marley is concerned, if someone from the royal family is discovered, there will only be one way to deal with it, and that is to breed that person.

If a man is a man, let him become a stallion and constantly mate with women, and if a woman is a woman, he will find a way to get her pregnant and give birth to children constantly.

Jike frowned, wondering if his mother had been subjected to extremely humiliating treatment here.

The meeting between him and his mother, his life was saved by the people of Paradis Island, could it be that his mother paid some kind of sacrifice in exchange?

Just as he was thinking about something terrible, there was a knock on the door outside his office.

Mikasa unscrewed the door open and brought Dina Fritz over.

Dinah wore the same beige dress as she had a few days ago, draped over a brown shawl.

She looked haggard, with red and swollen marks on the sides of her eyes, her slender eyebrows shrouded in shadows, and her eyes were a little dull, as if they had been tortured by something, and her cheeks had been much thinner after only a few days of not being seen.

Jike immediately stood up, came to Dinah's side, and held his mother's shoulder, vaguely protecting her in his arms.

"You're trying to threaten me with my mother?" Jike spoke in a bad tone.

In fact, he knew that the best thing to do at this time was to pretend that he didn't care about Dina.

It would be nice to show a cold-blooded side and make the demons of these islands think that he doesn't care about his mother at all.

But the meeting with his mother a few days ago touched his heart a lot.

He had just finished reading his father's notes, and he felt as if he could understand his father's heart a little.

Man is a sensual creature after all, and although he used to complain about his parents, he did not hate them.

It was the mother who gave birth to him, raised him, and once hugged him to sleep, and as a son, he couldn't stand his mother crying in front of him.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, Mr. Jik." Ian whispered, "Miss Dinah, she's just worried about her safety. ”

"We never abused her, she was just worried about her children as a mother."

Jike looked down at Dinah's face, and Dinah squeezed out a smile and hugged him naturally.

"Jike, don't worry about me, I just haven't slept well in the past two days."

Jike was hugged for the first time in a long time, it was warm, his mother's embrace, and it had a familiar taste for him.

He hesitated, reached out and hugged Dinah.

"I've been... I've been thinking about the day I've been wanting to meet you..."Dina shed tears again: "Jike, it's good to stay and live with your mother." ”

"Please, stay, don't go back to Marais, this is the paradise of our Eldians."

Jike looked at Ian's face as he hugged Dinah.

He always felt that all this was designed, but... He couldn't refuse...

He felt that his heart was beginning to waver, and the moment he embraced Dinah, a crack appeared in his unwavering faith.

For a moment, he gave up on the "euthanasia plan" and began to imagine living with his mother.

Really... I... Haven't you grown up yet?

...

Late at night, Jike was in the hallway, waving goodbye to Dinah.

"See you tomorrow, Mom."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Jike."

Dina smiled and hugged him, waved goodbye to him, and left the hallway, led by the soldiers.

She seemed to be much better spirited, because Jike agreed to "cooperate" with the people of Paradis Island, and promised to live with his mother in the future.

Jike leaned against the wall by the hallway, looking at his palm.

"I... There is a dream...", he said to Ian, who was standing at the door, "I want the Eldians to live in this world without suffering, I think the power of the giants is the wrong power, and it should be made to disappear into this world, but... You islanders, giants here... It doesn't seem to be the same as the power of the giants I know..."

"It's unimaginable that you should produce with that power."

"Power itself is not terrible, it is its owner who is terrible." Ian said lightly: "The Marais and the former King of Frieze only thought about plunder, so that people would fear giants, and at the beginning, the people on our island were also afraid of man-eating giants like people outside. ”

"But things soon changed, and when the giants were producing in the fields, we were no longer afraid of them."

"Is that really right?" Jike asked faintly.

"Yes, it's not something you and I can decide, but I can tell you the fact that five years ago on Palades Island, many people couldn't even afford to eat, and the old government wanted to feed 200,000 people to the giants to eat in order to relieve the pressure on food, and we prevented that tragedy, and today, five years later, I can proudly tell you that everyone on the island, whether men, women or children, can have enough to eat, and no one will go hungry."

Jike listened to this and left, saying nothing.

Ian returns to the office, packs up and leaves work, and Alan finds him at this time.

"How?" Alan asked.

Ian locked Grisha's notes in a drawer: "Like the memory fragments you saw, Jike was touched by Grisha's notes, and it was in vain that I hastened to transfer them from the royal capital." ”

"Really," Alan nodded.

"How are you and Mikasa, have you discussed it properly?" Ian looked at Mikasa and Allen's faces.

"That..."Mikasa's face flushed, "I've decided with Alan. ”

"How?" Ian laughed.

"We... I plan to register at the government hall next year. Although Mikasa was very shy, his eyes no longer avoided this time: "I don't need to do the ceremony or anything, but after registering, I want to change rooms with Alan." ”

"That, it's also convenient to protect Allen closely." Mikasa's voice grew quieter and quieter.

"If the ceremony is not done, how can it be done?" Ian patted Mikasa on the shoulder: "Although it can't be done too complicated, but I will find a way to get all my acquaintances together, and everyone will witness it, so be generous, Mikasa, you are now Alan's fiancée." ”
