Liberio, Eldian zone, stage
You were walking and chatting with the guests of the theater
Kiyomi: Good evening, (y/n). Can you come here for some moment please?
(y/n): Yeah, what's the matter?
Kiyomi: I'd like to visit an old friend of mine. Willy Tybur himself, I'd like you to meet him
(y/n): Sure, no problem
You, Kiyomi and her bodyguards went to the dressing room of Willy Tybur. Once in there...
Kiyomi: My goodness!
Willy: Well, well! Lady Azumabito. Come to give me a pep talk?
Kiyomi: I'm sorry to interrupt your preparations. He's (y/n) Azumabito, the only one remaining of the Azumabito family
(y/n): It's a pleasure, Lord Tybur
Willy: The pleasure is mine, Mr. Azumabito
Kiyomi: And I wanted to see your face after so long
Willy: It must be a haunting sight. I seem to have a bad case of stage-fright
Kiyomi: Fear not. You look courageous and dignified. You are a truly brave man. My family knows that well. I'll wish you luck and take my leave
They shook hands
Willy: I'm glad you came by. Thanks, Kiyomi
(y/n): Good luck right there, Mr. Tybur
He smiled while looking at you
Kiyomi and you left
Kiyomi: (y/n), I need to go back to hizuru now. I'm so sorry I cannot attend the stage
(y/n): Good bye, Kiyomi
You hugged her and she leaved. You went to the stage, you didn't saw Falco there, so you sighed in relief
You sat in the front line, you heard some trumpets, you saw how Willy bowed in front of the crowd in the stage, everyone applauded
Willy: Let's pull back the veil of time. Roughly a century ago, the Eldian Empire ruled the world through the might of its Titans. Humanity as we know it could go extinct three times over, and the body count still wouldn't match the number of lives that Titans have stolen. Such is the legacy of the founder, Ymir. So much has been lost. Countless peoples and cultures, wiped out. Histories crushed underfoot with their pride. Eldia's history is all we have left. And it tells only of killing. You see, once the Eldians ran out of foes to conquer, they began to fight amongst themselves, vying for power. Thus began the Great Titan War, which saw eight of the Nine Titans locked in an endless cycle of bloodshed. But there was one brilliant Marleyan who saw in this chaos, a path to victory. He was the heroic paragon we all know as Helos. Thanks to his cunning manipulations, Eldian infighting gre far worse, and the Empire grew weak. Then, Helos joined hands with the Tybur family and they forced the supposedly unbeatable King Fritz to retreat to a far-flung island
Everyone applauded
Willy: That said, he fled with his powers intact, and his reign continued
(y/n): Huh
Willy: That served as a warning to the Marleyan Empire, but even with that, King Fritz took tens of millions of Titans, ready to trample the world at his command
Crowd: *gasps*
Willy: It's believed that our world continues to exist unbroken for one reason alone. Chance. Our scholars can field no better explanation. In order to fight this existential threat, my motherland, Marley, sent a team of four Titan Warriors to take the Founder. But they were soundly beaten, and only the Armored Titan returned. It's clear now. The ancient engine of cruelty called the Eldian Empire is alive and well today
