Yo, long time no see, Rei....'' Y/n spoke up with a blank expression on her face, whilst Reiner was staring at Y/n in horror
''Y-Y/n.....'' Was all Reiner was able to get out, catching Falco off guard
''Y/n? Isn't your name Adela, L/N-San?'' Falco asked surprised
''No, my real name is Y/n, Falco. I lied to you'' Y/n admitted as she continued to stare at Reiner
Falco looked at Y/n in shock not expected anything like this. He looked back at Reiner who was frozen in horror, this worried Falco big time as he started to suffocate in the tense atmosphere.
''Thanks, Falco, for bringing him over here. We have a lot to catch up on....I don't even know where I should start off at.'' Y/n said as she continued to keep her gaze on Reiner, who was still looking at her in horror.
Y/n then took off the caste of her leg and her arm, causing Falco's eyes to widen.
''L/N-San.....why....is it okay for you show yourself like that?" Falco asked as he stared at Y/n, but Y/n only stayed quiet
''The scar over my eye is real, but it would't have been enough for me to stay in hospital, so I faked my injuries'' Y/n announced, causing Reiner's eyes to widen to shock
''Sit down, Reiner'' Y/n sternly ordered, but Reiner seemed to completely frozen
''It's a good seat, so sit'' Y/n added once again as she looked at him directly in the eyes
''You can hear all that's happening on the stage from here. It's just a normal residence building. Although it's located to the back of the stage....many good people are up there right now, peeking through their windows waiting for the curtains to rise. Right on top of us...'' Y/n pointed upwards, revealing a deep cut on her hand
''Oh, L/N-San, you're hurt!'' Falco spoke up shocked at the blood trickling down her had
''Yeah....it's no big deal...'' Y/n blankly stated as she put her hand back down
𝕽𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖗....𝕴 𝖘𝖆𝖎𝖉 𝖘𝖎𝖙 𝖉𝖔𝖜𝖓...𝖉𝖎𝖉𝖓'𝖙 𝕴?'' Y/n's voice sent a shiver down his and Falco's spine as she glared at Reiner, causing Reiner to start sweating at the sudden voice change
Reiner then slowly sat down, trying to keep calm, but to no avail. As much as he wanted to see Y/n, right now, if he was being honest, the person infront of him, was not Y/n at all. The person in front of him was someone different, someone with murder and revenge written in their eyes. Eyes.....? well, those eyes look completely dead. Falco wanted to leave because the atmosphere was suffocating him, even though he had so many questions, he just wanted to leave.
''So....I'll be taking my leave.'' Falco announced as he was ready to leave
''No, Falco, you should stay and listen, too. You need to hear about everything, Mr Vice Commander Reiner Braun has done, the very person you respect.'' Y/n spoke up sternly as she looked at Falco, causing Falco to freeze in his steps.
''What?'' Falco asked surprised
''Falco, do as she says'' Reiner ordered Falco as held his hand up and stared at the floor
...
''Yes, Sir'' Falco spoke up with wide eyes
Whilst the rest of the crowd was gathering at their designated seats. Willie was getting ready backstage for his show. Gabi was getting worried about Falco and Reiner since they hadn't returned yet.
''It's starting....'' Falco announced
''Y/n.....was it really you....back then?'' Reiner asked as he looked at Y/n, but Y/n just stared at him
''Is that the first thing you could think of asking me....but to answer your question, yes, it was me back then....'' Y/n blankly stated as she looked at Reiner
''𝕬𝖋𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝖆𝖑𝖑, 𝖜𝖊'𝖛𝖊 𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜𝖓 𝖊𝖆𝖈𝖍 𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝖜𝖊 𝖜𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊.....𝖆𝖓𝖉 𝖙𝖍𝖆𝖙'𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖔𝖓𝖑𝖞 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖆𝖘𝖐.....𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙'𝖘 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖒𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝕽𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖗.....?'' Y/n spoke as a crazy look appeared on her face, causing Reiner's and Falco's eyes to widen
''𝖄𝖔𝖚 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖓𝖐 𝕴'𝖉 𝖗𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖒𝖇𝖊𝖗 𝖜𝖍𝖆𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖉𝖎𝖉.....'' Y/n added as she glared at him
''𝖄𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖙𝖑𝖊 𝖄/𝕹 𝖎𝖘 𝖉𝖊𝖆𝖉, 𝕽𝖊𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖗'' Y/n added further, causing Reiner's heart to drop at her sudden words
''Y/n....please allow me to explain....everything....please...'' Reiner pleaded as he closed his eyes in frustration and ruffled his hair
''Hate us all you want, but please....let me explain everything....'' Reiner added as a tear escaped his eyes
''What good would that do?'' Y/n asked as she looked at him, neutral expression, causing Reiner's eyes to widen
''What exactly are you planning on doing, Y/n?'' Reiner asked as he looked at Y/n directly in the eyes now
''The same as you.'' Y/n blankly answered, causing Reiner to stare at her
''𝕶𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖊𝖓𝖊𝖒𝖎𝖊𝖘'' Y/n added, causing Reiner's eyes to widen in horror
''Wh.....Wh.....'' Reiner held his head in pain as he stared at the floor in horror
''You're asking me, ''why'' 𝕯𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖌𝖊𝖙 𝖎𝖙? it's something you could even call ''inevitable'' Y/n added as she looked at him
''Y/n...please....let m-'' Reiner was cut off
''Wait. Looks like the curtains rose. Let's listen'' Y/n put her hand up as she looked up
On stage,
''I would like to tell you a story about the past. One that took place a long long time ago'' Willie began speaking
''The Eldian Empire took over the world with the power of the titans since the day of the Eldian ancestor Ymir appeared, and until now, countless lives have been lost at the hands of the titans.''
''According to recent studies, the number of those who perished by their hands exceeds the current human population of the entire world, multiplied by three. An unbelievable amount of humans lives, cultures and human history were stolen away by the power of the titans. The massacre is the history shared by humanity and the Eldians.''
''But when all their enemies were defeated, strife began inside the Eldian Empire itself. That was the beginning of the Great Titan War. The eight great houses holding the powers of the titans were caught in an endless circle of conspiracy and betrayal and began killing one another.''
''Now, this is what it is written in the books. Indeed Ymir was an Eldian, but she was only half Eldian. The power of the titans did not belong to Eldia.'' Willie announced, catching everyone's attention now
''It is believed that this race has been completely wiped out. That is what I thought, until I met someone of that race. Eldian's are feared upon by the entire world and are classed as ''devils'', but the truth is far from that.
''The power of the titans.....truly belongs to the......Vridian Empire''
