You Are Free

Chapter 17 The Alliance gathering Part 2

"You are right about the Azumabito not wanting to help you." The Alliance tenses up as they see Gloria, who is sitting on a Titan Crystal-made pillar. "You..." Jean mutters.

"Gloria Tybur." Magath says. "To think someone from the Tybur family would betray Marley and join forces with Eren Yeager..."

"That's because they are a bunch of cowards who hide behind the honorary Marleyan title and traitors who refuses to help the Eldians. I am different, and that's why I decide to help my friend Eren Yeager."

"So what the hell are you doing here? Here to mock us?" Connie asks with slight anger.

"Maybe, just to warn you that all your attempts of stopping the Rumbling are futile. And why would Hizuru wants to help you when we of the Royal Government of Eldia have promised that the Rumbling won't affect their homeland?"

While the guns are pointing at her, she says, "Oh, and just so you know, I'm the current War Hammer Titan, if you think those things will be able to kill me then you're wrong."

She takes out a small war hammer and throws it in front of Magath and the Marley warriors, Armin asks, "But how? She's not in her Titan..."

"A true Royal Nine can use the power of the Titan without the need of transforming into one. You guys are not royals, so that's why you wouldn't be able to do it. Not that it matters to you since the power of the nine has returned to the real families." Gloria says. "You might see me as harmless, but I still can create weapons out of thin air using the Titan powers. And since I'm nice, so I'll tell you everything about Yelena. She is actually a Marleyan, the reason why she disguises herself as an Eldian is that we made a mutual agreement, we exchanged our blood so I would be able to disguise myself as a Marleyan."

Pieck says, "Yeah, we've also dived into her past, she was born into a perfectly normal Marleyan family, but she pretended to be from a small nation annexed by Marley. It was right after she met Zeke. After becoming disillusioned by Marley, she crafted a story. A miraculous fairy tale of how you and the prince saves the world. She tried to solidify the lie into an indelible part of human history. I was actually impressed by the depth of her desire."

"As for all of you, to save the world? Are there any words sweeter and more alluring than this? You gave yourselves to the sublimely exciting idea that you will save hundreds of millions of lives and gulped it all down as if to wash away all the hatred you felt in the past. That's how all of you look in my eyes just now. No, not just me, Eren, Historia, Sasha, and perhaps the Eldia Restorationists that Eren used his power to turn them back. And from what they told me, I learned some interesting things about you guys."

Her first target is Reiner. "Reiner Braun. Who knows how many Eldians lost their life because you breached the wall that day along with Annie and Bertolt. The ones who were killed included Eren Yeager's mother, all Eren wanted is to know what is outside of the walls, the fact that you did this is the actual reason why Eren vows to kill everyone outside of the wall."

She turns to Annie and says, "Annie Leonhart. I've heard you've killed quite a lot of the Survey Corps members, including a large number of residents in the Stohess District. And those included the Levi Squad, with whom Eren was starting to become friends. But, your actions were the reason why people in Paradis learned about the Colossal Titans in the walls and how the Rumbling can be activated."

She turns to Armin and the others, "And of course, the same goes for the soldiers of Paradis. You're usually a very sensible and decent person, so I've never thought I'd see you raze a military port so mercilessly. Armin. Your military accomplishments should be relative to the mountain of corpses you left behind, including the civilians'. If you don't know, we were there this whole time when you raided Liberio. We were bringing the volunteers' family to our ship so they would be spared by the Rumbling or by the Marley Government for helping us."
