Inside the palace.
Historia had changed into a luxurious dress; her golden hair was pinned up, and she had applied delicate makeup, making her look extraordinarily beautiful.
Historia sat by the window in her bedroom, guarded by attendants outside the door. She was like a canary, imprisoned here, waiting for her wedding in a few days.
She didn't know her fiancé at all, not even having seen him once.
This made her a little sad, but she quickly accepted the reality. Throughout her life, she had always been someone who went with the flow.
In the original story, she had followed the arrangement and married someone else.
"The King is here!"
Suddenly, a voice from outside the door announced.
The young maid by Historia's side was excited and quickly went to help Historia adjust her appearance. She adorned her updo with precious jewelry.
Historia was a bit nervous and unsure.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and the guard at the entrance bowed respectfully as Lin Yi, dressed in noble attire, walked in calmly.
He looked refined and elegant, exuding an air of nobility.
Historia lowered her head and greeted him with a bow, but when she thought about the fact that he was her future husband, she couldn't help but steal a few glances.
At first glance, Lin Yi was even more handsome than she had imagined, and he appeared quite young.
Likewise, Lin Yi was also studying the woman before him. Despite Historia's years of wandering and hiding, whenever she dressed up, she looked quite stunning.
However, Lin Yi had no feelings for her, and the two had never interacted before.
This was purely a political marriage to solidify his power.
By using the status of Princess of the Fritz Royal Family, he aimed to strengthen his rule.
Fortunately, Historia, the clever woman, hadn't caused him any trouble.
Lin Yi didn't bother to come up with reasons to deceive her. He walked up to Historia, took her hand in his, and held her delicate hand gently.
Historia blushed slightly; she had never been so intimately close to a man before.
"On our first meeting, there's little room for admiration. I am marrying you for political reasons," Lin Yi spoke slowly.
Historia didn't dare to respond, but her expression clearly showed a hint of disappointment.
She had never been able to control her own destiny.
"However, now that you're mine, I won't be strict. I will use the name of the Fritz Royal Family to confirm it."
"Your deceased parents will also receive honors. In the future, with me, you can be free and at ease without restraint."
"Really."
It wasn't exactly sweet talk, but hearing Lin Yi's promise, Historia couldn't help but feel a hint of happiness.
Lin Yi had no intention of misleading her; he also didn't want to defy her wishes.
Historia lifted her head, and their eyes met. Perhaps due to her background, there was a pitiable feeling about Historia.
Lin Yi had indeed changed a lot; perhaps it was due to the influence of power. He could decide the fate of countless people with just a word.
This beautiful woman was easily within his grasp.
A thought crossed Lin Yi's mind as he enjoyed the pleasure brought by strength and authority, as if he were admiring a work of art.
Suddenly, Historia exclaimed and was lifted off her feet by Lin Yi. After a brief shock, she obediently buried her head in his chest.
Holding her, Lin Yi walked toward the bedroom.
A night of silence.
This could be considered an early exchange of emotions between Lin Yi and Historia.
After completing the system's tasks, Lin Yi couldn't stay in the world of Titans for long.
Historia was actually a capable woman. In the original story, she managed Eldia well after ascending to the throne.
After he left this world, he would naturally need his own person to oversee things. Lin Yi planned to leave her with some power and resources to handle any issues.
When Lin Yi woke up again, the sky outside was beginning to brighten. He held Historia, who had tear marks on her eyes, as she was still in a deep sleep.
Last night had been quite intense, and her body couldn't take it.
Lin Yi didn't wake her up but quietly got up himself. The maids were waiting outside and helped Lin Yi get dressed and ready, tending to every detail.
This was the charm of capitalism.
Outside, someone was already waiting for Lin Yi.
After dealing with the Beast Titan and the Jaw Titan, Lin Yi had completed 5 out of 9 system tasks. He knew nothing of what had happened outside, where Annie, Bertolt, and the others were in the Training Camp. They were like prey in Lin Yi's eyes.
He naturally couldn't allow any accidents to happen; it was better to deal with them sooner rather than later.
Calculating the time, it was almost time to take action.
With his current position and influence, he often didn't need to act personally.
Hanji had already led a team to surround the Training Camp. Lin Yi had also dispatched shadow guards to accompany them.
"Did I interrupt your sweet dreams?"
Eto leaned against the corridor railing, arms folded, teasing with a smile.
...
"If that woman, Akira and your woman finds out about this, your Harem will be in Chaos."
Lin Yi smiled faintly. Nashiro and Kurona, including Nishino, had personalities that tolerated everything but Akira couldn't accept this.
Even the twin sisters were ultimately accepted by Akira because of their backgrounds and situations, which were so similar to his own, and they were pitiable.
"That won't happen."
Lin Yi said casually, glancing at Eto. "Why do I feel like you're jealous?"
Eto rolled her eyes.
"Instead of arguing with me, you should spend some time figuring out how to handle your girlfriends and one on the Scout Regiment."
Takatsuki was referring to Mikasa and Hanji.
Lin Yi waved his hand.
"This is a feudal system. As the king, isn't it strange for me to have multiple consorts and concubines?" Lin Yi retorted.
Eto almost forgot and didn't delve into the topic further.
"Why did you call me here?"
"Get ready. After the grand wedding, accompany me to conquer Marley."
Lin Yi spoke calmly.
"After I leave, you'll be the new king of Marley. I hope you can establish a cooperative relationship with Historia and help me stabilize this world."
"Another difficult task."
After a momentary shock, Eto sighed.
It was only Lin Yi who could casually say that he would conquer a great nation.
