Eren walked past Uriel and commanded the Royal Guards to take care of the aftermath and make sure that the injured people received proper treatment.
The people who heard his commands felt even more grateful. Even after so much had happened, the Holy Emperor was still kind enough to worry about their safety.
As soon as Eren finished his instructions, he turned to look at the citizens that were standing in the distance.
To his surprise, he saw the majority of them with their heads down, expressing their gratitude for protecting them.
"I am sorry." Instead of accepting their gratitude and being proud, Eren apologized to the citizens.
The citizens were stunned with his strange reaction. Why was he apologizing? What was there for him to be sorry about?
"Your Majesty, please don't apologise." Many people rose up in a singular voice.
