( Historia stiffens. There's still a lot she doesn't know about why Eren's father did what he did. She'd been so angry -- in so much pain -- after she had seen what had happened, but it was of no fault of Eren's. Just as Historia's father's were not actions of her own, it was the same for Eren. )

He's part of the same squad I was in, for a while. He... has a lot of people looking out for him.

( So, no one of higher power. Quite honestly, if Historia had been raised with the Reiss family... she isn't sure what choice she would have made if her Father had asked her to do the same. So many of her beliefs and actions were influenced by the people she had met during her time with the Scouts. )

He has a good heart. For a while... he was someone who was really there for me.

( But then, Frieda asks what she does next, and blue eyes look away for a moment -- tensing up before she puts her hand on her sisters. Like so many truths of their world, the truth of their family feels cruel. She doesn't want to keep anything from her, nor does she deserve to have anything kept from her. ... No matter how painful it may be. )

I--

After Father found me, I became Queen shortly after.
