Eren also understood their thoughts. It was fortunate that the guards were distracted, not having time to doubt what had actually transpired here.
Eren informed the Guards that the Minister of War had betrayed him, attempting to assassinate the envoys.
As a result, the Minister was stripped of his position, and Eren announced that a new Minister of War would be appointed.
