[Frieda's expression turns serious, but she stays calm. If the Founding Titan was taken rather than passed on within their family, it's a far more troublesome matter. Even so, it isn't entirely unexpected. The world outside - Marley - would eventually make its move, she and her predecessors knew that. However, for the person who received the titan's power to not have wanted it... that part is a surprise.]

What is the position he is in?
[She'd have expected the worst for Paradis Island, the end of her people, once Marley would attain the Founding Titan, but if its new holder received it unwillingly, and if Historia has been in contact with him, even receiving her lost memories back in the process, that raises a number of questions. That aside, her personal worries force another inquiry out of her mouth, unable to suppress it:]
And what position is our family in, now?
[In Historia's timeline, she is dead, that much is clear - but what happened to her parents and siblings, and to Historia herself? Are they being held captive as "spares", or to help the Founding Titan's new holder understand his powers? Can he even wield it? Surely, Marley wouldn't allow a person not of royal blood to receive it... unless things went wrong on more than one front.]
