Attack on Titan: The Show Season 3

Chapter 3 Old Story

"So Ray, I want to ask, how many episodes are we going to watch until it's over?" Armin asks.

Ray says, "Ah, there are going to be 22 episodes. And so far you just finished 2 of them."

"22? That sounds very long..." Connie says.

"If each of the episodes reveals a lot of things, I wonder how many things are we going to take in..." Mike says.

"Don't worry, Moblit and I've been keeping track with each of the episodes." Hange says while showing the notebook. "And I'll make sure none of my squad dies this time."

"And we have to make sure Historia becomes the Queen of Paradis as well." Erwin says.

Historia is a little nervous, but maybe seeing this will help her ease a little.

Before Eren and Historia were captured, the whole Levi Squad was sitting at the table while Historia talked about her story.

"I was born on a small farm in the northern region of Wall Rose. It was on land owned by the noble family of Reiss."

Just then, the scene changed to a younger Historia working at the farm.

"Wait, so we're going to see Historia's past?" Eren asks.

"This TV can do that?" Jean says.

Historia is slightly nervous, but she knows that everyone needs to know about her past and her relationship with her father, Rod Reiss.

"As far back as I can remember, I was helping around the farm." Young Historia was holding a stack of hay on her own, and then holding a bucket of water.

"So cute." Ymir says to Historia, who blushes a little.

"I have to agree." Sasha adds.

She turned to see her mother at the tree reading a book.

"But, my mother was always reading books, and not once did I see her doing housework. She was a beautiful woman..."

Night time approached, and Historia's mother walked outside of the house with a red coat on. "At night, someone would come for her in a wagon and she'd go off to the city wearing fancy clothes."

So she was an escort... Levi thinks.

Young Historia was peeking out the window watching her mother leave. "For me, that was just life as I knew it. After I learned to read and write, I picked up a book to imitate my mother. Only then did I know how alone I was. In all the books, parents cared about their children. They talked, hugged, and fought, or so the stories went. I had never experienced any of those things."

"No way...That's so cruel..." Sasha says.

"Yeah...someone like her doesn't deserve to be a mother..." Jean says.

Eren frowns, knowing the talk of her mother causes him to remember his mother being eaten, but he also remembers that he killed the Titan that ate his mother.

"You're not alone, you have all of us here." Connie says.

"Although I don't think I have anything to say, he's right, you still have all of us." Reiner says.

Everyone glares at him while Annie asks, "What the hell, Reiner?"

"One day, out of curiosity, I decided to try hugging my mother. I just wanted to see what kind of face she would make." A nervous Historia was walking closer to her mother and jumped onto her lap, "Mother!"
