"Hey," Theodore called out to him. Levi looked up exhausted. He frowned as he spotted him in front of him. "You need to pull yourself together," he told Levi in a calm voice.

"Where's Theia?" he whispered barely audible.

"What will you do if I tell you, she is here?" He asked him and reached for the glass of water the guards had left there.

"I'll get us all out of here," he replied, spitting out another batch of blood that had pooled in his mouth.

"All of them?" Theodor raised an eyebrow.

"All of them..." he whispered, fighting his own consciousness leaving him.

"And how do you want to do that?" He asked with interest, grabbing Levi's chin to help him drink. He swallowed a few sips of clean water and exhaled.

"I don't know. But I'll do it," Theodor looked at him thoughtfully.

"You can't see it, but you don't look very fit,"

"I'm fine," he answered almost immediately. He straightened up a bit and tilted his head back to get his wet hair out of his eyes.

"Ah," remarked Theodor, taking another sip of alcohol. He moved to his feet and with one harder squeeze of his metal hand, broke both of the chains at his feet. Levi watched him in surprise. "Don't even move. I don't want to get in trouble because of you. Now it just depends on who gets to you first. If it's Lobov, you're a dead man, if not..." he didn't finish his sentence and turned back to the handcuffed Sebastian. He took out a cigarette from his coat and lit it.

"Why?" Levi asked in a low voice.

"I will not support the torture, rape and murder of innocent people," he replied, blowing smoke and he looked towards the ceiling. "I've forgotten who I'm supposed to execute," Levi watched him, lowering his head again and closing his eyes that burned every second they were open.

"Which one of us is innocent," he answered to his thoughts and Theodor smiled.

"And maybe in the end it doesn't matter how you lived. What matters is how you die,"

"I will not die. And I won't even let her die," Theodor turned his back to him and smiled again. He walked decisively towards Sebastian, putting a pack of cigarettes into his pocket.

"A goodbye gift," ...

"Kathy.... oh Kathy..." the first sense that came back to her was hearing, but she didn't understand the words she heard at all. "Kathy, you're mine again," she parted her eyelids, which were extremely heavy. She wanted to sleep. And why she wouldn't. She felt like she was floating among the soft clouds in the sky. She closed her eyes again and let herself drift back into the carefree realm of dreams. "Kathy, darling," but the voice made her feel sick. She fought back and tried to open her eyes again. She gently peeled her eyelids apart and her blurred vision was beginning to link into a single image. She noticed a hand on her thigh and felt another on her back, but her body was too weak to react. On the contrary, her mind was beginning to return and she exhaled in shock. The man pulled away from her and her body fell limply back onto the bed. She was surprised to find that she could not control her limbs. But she was finally able to look her captor in the face. Lobov looked at her with a kind look.

"Good morning, my princess. I'm so sorry I had to do this to you, but you didn't give me a choice," he said, caressing her face. Theia tried with all her might to defend herself, or at least to stand up, but she was unable to make a single move. Shocked, she tried to process the previous events to realize how she got into this situation. She concentrated all her strength into her legs to move, to stand up and kick Lobov in that disgusting face of his. "You must be confused, that's understandable," he stood up and poured clean water into the glass. He walked over to her, grabbed her by the neck to help her drink. She forcefully spat the contents of her mouth right into his face. Lobov angrily wiped his face and slapped her. Theia fell back to the bed, but she didn't even feel the blow. Why? What did he do to her? "If you're wondering why you can't move. It is a serum that will work for a while. It is a completely new invention. The mind and brain work perfectly, but the body is not capable of a single movement. A wonderful thing, don't you think? It's a shame that's not working on your pet from the underground," Theia's pupils widened. She wanted to scream, but her tongue and voice failed. "Yes, he is here, my dear. While the two of us talk, he receives blow after blow. Every second until his wounds open up enough to bleed continuously and he's gonna be on his knees begging me to kill him," he said coldly, watching with pleasure as Theia began breath rapidly, unable to speak or move. He walked over to her and pulled her up by the elbow to sit up. "You underestimated me Theia. I warned you about love, but you didn't listen," he smiled and hungrily licked her neck. Theia shuddered in disgust. "You had a chance to get me. Twice. But your fear stopped you. And if you once admit that you are afraid, you are on the best way to your own end," he sat closer and looked at her pale face with interest. "We have some time. Don't you want to hear a story? I think you will be interested. It's about a businessman. Yes, sure, guess. He was a bad person. Exactly one of those whom you kill on a daily basis. He made a living by selling women underground. He built a brothel there because such good business was not possible on the top. The man came from a very influential family, but as the second-born son, he had no right to interfere in the family business. He was never physically fit, so he didn't even fit into the army. But he created his own place where he belonged among ordinary people from the underground. Let's just say the man felt comfortable. Everyone worshiped him, women knelt at his feet and listened to his orders. All he needed was money, which he never lacked and created his own kingdom of loyal serfs. But I'm not going to bother you with the details. He soon realized that there was one special among the women in his brothel. She had a big heart, she cooked for the orphans, she was kind, friendly, and she was really very friendly with that man. Unfortunately, he fell in love. He gave her everything he could see in her eyes, he even stopped selling her. She was only his. And guess how she repaid him for his kindness?" Theia watched in horror as Lobov looked at her. "She betrayed him. She secretly hatched her dirty plans and met a certain soldier whom she told about the man's business. The military police went underground, confiscated everything and closed down the brothel. Fortunately, that man managed to escape," he patted Theia on the shoulder. "Well, he had to watch as his beloved joined the survey corps. How he cooks for those bastards, how he smiles at them. How she's sleeping with someone else and she even allowed herself to have a child with him..." Theia started to understand his words and her heart was pounding at that information. "Kathlyn Magnolia. She was mine and mine alone, but that traitor sold me to free the women. Some dirty whores and orphans were more to her than my love for her. And as a bonus, she put a dagger in my heart, in the form of a born child...a child that was supposed to be mine!" He pushed her shoulder in anger and she trembled in horor, under his touch. "So, you can't say that I don't have a heart. I suggested to her to come back to me. That we can live like in the old days, but she preferred to go on an expedition beyond the walls. She chose death at the hand of a titan. I enjoyed the sight of her dead body, I enjoyed the sight of that broken scout who stole her from me," he almost broke her shoulder. "Well, it wasn't enough for me, I wanted more... Erwin Smith. He will pay by blood for taking what was mine. I will take everything he loves. Survey corps, best soldier, beloved daughter," he stroked her face again, where he had hit her a moment ago. "And this time I'll make sure some son of bitch doesn't take you from me," Theia wanted to scream. She closed her eyes and felt like her head was going to explode. "You look so much like her," his voice softened and he stroked her red hair. "You will be my Kathy," he finished, placing her back on the bed. She widened her eyes in terror as he began to caress her body with his cold hands. Tears rolled down her face at the feel of his slimy mouth on hers. She tried her best to defend herself, but in vain. He pulled away to wipe away her tears. "And do you want to know something else? There's one thing you and that underground bastard have in common. You're both children of whores," Theia scowled. "Yes. His mother worked for me. She let herself be impregnated by some client. Shortly after giving birth, she had to return to work and fell ill. She was no longer of any use to me, so I let her die. She and Katlyn were best friends. And she never forgave me," he laughed and approached her neck again, which he hungrily bit. "If I had known that little bastard was still alive, I would have immediately cut his throat," he whispered to her ear, running his hands under her dress. "It doesn't matter, the right time will come for everything and I'm happy to wait for my happy ending," Theia felt like she was dying.
