Chapter 11

London:
Finally she fell asleep after crying for a long time and Levi is sure that he can leave her alone for a moment. He arrives at the bottom with painful steps and clinging tightly to the railing. To be exposed to this exertion twice in quick succession simply cannot take his stamina any more. "Shit, damn cripple" , he says to himself.
Fortunately, Onyankopon provided his wheelchair. He arrives at the tea room with dark circles under his eyes. Where Onyankopon and Falco are already waiting for him.

Falco has arrived, he looks just as worn out as the others. Exhausted, he sits down on a chair. After today's shock, the three keep silent to each other.
"How much can we believe what's on the news?", Falco breaks the silence, there is little confidence in his voice.

Onyankopon stands tired with his arms crossed against the counter, “we received a call from Hizuru today. It was the Diplomat Kijomi herself. Since the riots on Paradis, Queen Historia had apparently agreed to send Hizuru's spies there. They have confirmed the death of Armin Arlert and it gets worse ... "
Onyankopon holds his hand to his forehead in frustration.
The other two look at him with concern.
"Don't say‘ now that everything else that is in the newspaper is also true ... "asks Levi tiredly.
Onyankopon looks worriedly at the other two, his look giving little hope, “I wish I had other news to announce. But Hizuru has also confirmed that ... "

" Crap! Kirschstein ....! Springer ...! “, Levi can only say.

“Hizuru tries to mediate diplomatically. But there is little hope for the two of them. Paradis puts pressure on Marley and has forced Marley to arrest and hand over Conni and Jean, ”explains Onyankopon.

" Damned! What about Rainer and Piek? ", Falco's voice is brittle," how should I explain this to Gabi at home? "

“Since Marley is no longer a war force, we have to reckon with the fact that Marley will hand over Rainer and Piek to Paradies in order to avoid a conflict.
There's not much we can do about it, Falco! Hizuru recommended that we have to break off contact with Rainer and Piek for our own safety and for the safety of the captain and Mikasa. Hizuru will try to protect Rainer and Piek ... In addition, Diplomat Kijomi's spies intercepted the two letters for Armin from Mikasa so that their whereabouts would remain a secret, "explains Onyankopon," curiously, Paradis thinks that the captain has died. Probably because he didn't come back to Paradis 3 years ago and said goodbye to Eren. The only ones who can testify that the captain is still alive are either us or a few on Hizuru. "

“And what about Mikasa?” Asks Levi, worried.

Onyankopon looks at Levi, “ the last thing Armin did was to cover up the traces of Mikasa and his family. So Paradis shouldn't know where she is. He also contacted Hizuru shortly before his arrest and told them the whereabouts of Mikasa and that she would likely contact Annie's father. So Hizuru knew about Mikasa's letters, "he continues,
“Furthermore, Hizuru has had diplomatic relations with Great Britain since the rumbeling and has done humanitarian work here. The British crown would be extremely stupid to hand over Hizuru's princess to Paradis. Mikasa is safe here. Probably even safer than in Hizuru itself ... Armin's wife and son are missing. "

Falco looks questioningly at Onyankopon and he suspects what question Falco will ask, “The only reason Mikasa is not brought to Hizuru. Is that because Paradis suspects that she is on Hizuru and they suspect that in the worst case there will be a war that Paradis will lose from a technological point of view. Paradis can't be that crazy ... "

"Great !!!" says Levi cynically. Sometimes he wishes for the old days when it was all about killing titans. The old times had been so much easier back then without knowing that people existed outside the wall.
