The edge of the coastal city of Paradis Island August 3, 853

"So I'm finally going to see Eren?" Zeke asked suspiciously as Levi led him out of the building guarded by 50 fully armed scouts. Theia nodded.

"Yes, Marley has attacked the city, we need you and Eren to start a little Rambling to stop them," she replied, hoping he would believe her story. Because Zeke didn't know that she was aware of his euthanasia plan and she needed to get him as far away from the city as possible, which was full of soldiers who drank wine with his spinal fluid and could turn into titans at any moment thanks to it.

"And where is he located?" Zeke asked again while looking at the pissed off face of Levi who hadn't said a word so far. Theia smiled manipulatively.

"Do you know the geography of Paradise well when you want to know that information? I guess it's clear to you that we're hiding him in a place far away from you to make sure you don't have a sibling date without our knowledge," but Zeke reached out to her after Theia's words and smiled softly.

"I would go to hell with such a beautiful and fragrant woman," he praised her, but Levi pulled him roughly by his jacket. "Hey Levi, I almost pissed my pants. Aren't you even more nervous than usual? Or maybe you also like the commandant?" He chuckled under his breath, sensing Levi's killer aura. "I can't believe someone like you can fall in love,"

"Take one more step towards her and you'll be eating your own shit," Levi hissed angrily, continuing to watch the road ahead.

"You definitely don't impress her by those harsh words and behavior of yours. Ladies like gentlemens," Zeke added with a smirk, and Theia rolled her eyes with a smile. The bearded monster actually has no idea that she and Levi are married. Theia took this as another advantage, because he could use this information against them, just like the army did with their daughter. The less Zeke knows, the better. She suspects him of having some other motives of his own, with or without Eren. But she will prevent it at all costs. She exhaled and looked up inquisitively at the sky, which was darkening with the smoke from the burning city. They stopped in front of the horse and waited while scouts brought up the wagon in which they wanted to take Zeke away.

"We should have killed him," Levi remarked in frustration, wrapping the rope around his wrist to secure his horse to the cart.

"We will do it, but out of reach of the city and the soldiers..."

"I would kill him quickly. He wouldn't even have time to scream," Theia looked up at him. His voice sounded strange and Levi's desire to end Zeke's life was turning into an obsession. "Today will be the day, I fulfill the promise I made to Erwin," he straightened and turned to force Zeke into the wagon, but he was no longer standing obediently behind them, but running as if he thought he had some chance of escaping. Theia rolled her eyes.

"I was expecting that. He wants to turn the soldiers in the city into titans," she drew her blades as Zeke roared with all his might. Both Theia and Levi frowned in confusion as a shock wave of strange power hit them.

"What?" Levi exhaled in devastation and together they watched in horror as 50 of his subordinates fell from their positions to the ground, engulfed in a golden glow. Suddenly, the running figure of Zeke disappeared from their sight and they were surrounded by titans.

"How did they get that wine? And why didn't they lose their consequence?" Theia asked horrified, not even noticing one of the titans rushing towards them. Levi scooped her up in his arms and launched them both into the air. He grabbed onto a tree and pulled them up, but the titan chasing them was incredibly fast to Levi's surprise. He wrapped Theia tightly with his left hand and circled around the tree to prevent any of the Titans from grabbing them. He held her tight, too tight, hiding her completely in his arms as if their lives mattered on that. And that was actually true. Gritting his teeth in anger, he dodged one of the titans who tried to grab them in his mouth. So he made it all the way to the top of the tree, bounced off it and landed onto the building where they got a view of the titans occupying the city. Theia dug her fingers into her hair desperately. This is exactly what she tried to prevent, and now Paradis is on the verge of extinction. Terrified, she turned to Levi, who prepared his thunder spears.
