Always want to be WITH YOU || Reiner x Historia

Chapter 10

"Hahaha! Reiner, you looks cute!"

"Hey! Stop, Christa!!"

I chased after Christa who was playing tricks on me by attaching a string of straw above my yellow head. I'm blushing, but playing tag like this is so much fun!

What do you want to know? Yes, we ditched again. More precisely, it's just me, Christa has received permission from Instructor Keith not to attend lessons due to family matters, and I have permission due to illness. Instructor Keith didn't believe me, but he allowed it anyway. So I call it truancy.

I returned to Christa's house with her on the other side of the Shina wall, where her mother also lived. But her mother is now away to see the king, I don't know why. The woman who hit Christa that time, she was Christa's birth mother.

And how do I know the information that the woman is Christa's mother? Christa was the one who told me about it herself, after I told her where I had followed her here. And now I can solve two mysteries about King Reiss' second wife and her origins thanks to Christa.

Alma Reiss, and now renamed Alma Lenz by the king, was King Reiss' mistress. They have been in a relationship for years. Until one day, without thinking, the King forced Alma to conceive a child from him. And Christa appeared.

I quickly mentioned the information about Historia Reiss' biological mother is Alma, to Bertholdt, and he also mentioned it to Annie. As if they understood what I meant, they immediately sought more detailed information from several soldiers who were believed to have worked with the King, and secretly opposed the King. Even Annie and Bertholdt even infiltrated the special library and other special rooms in our dormitory.

According to the information they got, the story started when King Reiss or Rod Reiss and Alma met in a bar. Alma was just an ordinary servant. But she is the prettiest there. The king at that time was still a commoner before being appointed as a guard at the palace. He is captivated by Alma's beauty, and decides to get closer to having a relationship with her.

But the relationship did not last long, since the King became a bodyguard, until he became the head of the King's trusted bodyguard, who at that time was King Fritz, Rod and Alma's relationship was forced to break up. The family tree continued until there were no Fritzes left, and finally the appointment of a new royal family was announced. And the Reiss family that was chosen.

When Rod Reiss' father left the throne, he was appointed King, and his younger brother Uri Reiss became the chief governor of the kingdom. His relationship with Alma is even more distant. So he held a contest to choose a special maid for the King. Rod deliberately held it at that time, hoping that Alma would also volunteer to get closer to him. But of the many young and old women there, Alma was not among them.

Rod was furious, and finally decided to kidnap Alma and force her to become a maid in the palace. Alma could not refuse, she was afraid that her family would be killed if she rebelled. She could only cry out in fear, that Rod's gentle figure had become brutal and terrifying. The days like hell for Alma finally began.

Even worse. The relationship that was supposed to be beautiful, turned into a relationship full of violence and coercion. Alma was not hired as a maid, but she was made into a prostitute by Rod Reiss. Rod Reiss' personal satisfaction is always fulfilled with Alma, even if it has to be by coercion and violence.

Rod Reiss had not married anyone at that time, and Rod had become secretive since becoming King. So no one knows about his heinous deeds. Even Alma, didn't dare to open his mouth and spread the truth. She had no intention of seeking justice, even if she had to.

And finally Rod got a wife who doesn't have a family name, her background is also unclear. Maybe Rod did it on purpose not to find out about his wife. The Reiss family has 5 children, Frieda Reiss, Urklyn Reiss, Dirk Reiss, Abel Reiss, and Florian Reiss. When Rod's wife becomes pregnant with Florian, Rod suddenly forces Alma to conceive his child. Alma vehemently refused, but Alma couldn't do it because of the violence she got.
