“I know that you are lying, Eren!” Yuri yelled, the hologram connection twitching due to his aggressiveness. “I know that you are lying! You are a bloody liar!” Elina shook her head with a smirk. “I wish he was lying, Yuri. Trust me.” She scoffed, eyes filled with so much resentment. “I am sure your wife and three children will be much happier where they are than being with you. You must have been a terrible husband and father to them.” “Don’t say that! Don’t say it!” Yuri tried to defend himself, but he found no words due to the overwhelming guilt that gripped him. Everyone watched as he fumed in rage, his muscles contorted as he grunted angrily, his eyes filled with both anger and regret. Then he took a deep breath, and with a low tone, he demanded, “Tell me where they are!” His eyes went to Eren, and when he realized that he was not going to say even a word to him, he turned to Elina. “Tell me where my children and wife are!” His tone had become a bit louder, but it did

The three leaders were silent, their eyes glancing at each other before slowly returning to the General.Ivan decided to break the silence, aware that the others would not say even a word about what Mezzle had told them.“Maybe you can reconsider, General. We really need your help.” He kept his eyes on the General, awaiting his response. However, Mezzle was silent for a while, and it was very obvious that he had so many things going on inside his head. He turned to his right, and then he turned to his left, his expression cold and unreadable. “What is it you want exactly?” He asked, staring at Ivan before he slowly shifted his gaze to the ladies seated next to him.Ivan took a deep breath. “We want some of our people to come and receive medical care in your camp, General. If the number were too much to handle, maybe they could come in batches. We could go with whatever number you decide.” His voice reeked of so much desperation, and there seemed to be something else hidden undernea

“I…” Tiara stuttered, and then she looked away, but Mezzle kept on staring at her with so much intensity. He then decided to get rid of his silence. “Tiara?” He called out and waited for her to look at him.“What do you have in your pocket?” “You mean me?” Tiara pointed at herself, and Mezzle nodded. “I don’t see any other person around me, Tiara. It’s just the two of us standing here.”Tiara swallowed hard, her eyes wide and glittering with so much tension, the same sensation that gripped her entire body. Mezzle was insistent, his patience growing as he was bent on finding out the truth. “What are you up to, Tiara?” He asked, but she still didn’t seem ready to speak. He then proceeded to find out for himself, but as soon as he attempted to reach for her pocket, Tiara recoiled in a hurry, taking two extra steps backward. She took a deep breath, but it was not enough to get rid of the tension that gripped her.Her body began to fidget, and it seemed like she was about to collaps

Melvin took a deep breath, seized by an intense apprehension. “She is pregnant?” He muttered, prompting Helen to push closer to him.“You have to keep this between us, Melvin.” She took a deep breath, begging with her eyes. “I already swore that I was not going to tell anyone. She is already going through a lot, and the last thing I want to do is to be the reason why she gets sadder.” Melvin sighed heavily, but his entire body was still restless. “Why didn’t she tell me?” He asked silently, turning to Helen. “She should have told me that she is pregnant, Helen.”“And why would she do that?” Helen asked at once, but he was not able to provide her with the answer she wanted.“You are not even her Doctor,” Helen said after getting nothing but silence from him. “Tiara made me promise that I was going to keep this a secret. I don’t need you going around and telling people that she is pregnant and sick. This is her life. She didn’t even tell me who the father of the child is.”“Why?”

The party had already started.Everyone was dancing to the fast-paced music playing from the huge speakers. Mezzle and Kira danced in a separate corner, far from the others while the few soldiers who had been permitted to attend the party watched with admiration.Almost everyone had a glass of wine in their hands, sipping and not minding if it contained alcohol or not.That seemed to be the first time they were doing something fun in their small number. Elina sat alone, watching as everyone danced except her. Just then, Eren walked up to her and sat next to her. “Are you okay?” He asked after staring at her while she pretended like she didn’t notice his presence. Eren nodded, and then she sipped from her glass of wine.“What are you doing here, Eren? You should be with the others, dancing.” He turned to him, and then she had to adjust to be able to get a better view of him.Eren took a deep breath. “I want to dance with her, but I am not sure if she will agree to dance with me.”
