"The forr queen of the Eldian Empire, Historia Reiss, pays homage to Saint Nerona."
A young girl with blonde hair tied back and crowned with a golden tiara, bowed nobly with great care.
Her height, barely one tre and fifty, made her look delicate and tiny. However, her serious expression gave her a certain coldness.
The queen in front of him was also a warrior who had faced the Pure Titans with her own hands and carried the responsibility of her people on her shoulders.
This made Imu sowhat interested in his request, although he already imagined what he ant.
"Noble Celestial Dragon, on behalf of the unfortunate Eldians, I implore your rcy so that the World Governnt will withdraw the punishnt imposed upon us."
After finishing her words, Historia saw that Imu, sitting on the throne, showed no reaction and her heart sank.
She knew, through various sources, of the Celestial Dragons' influence on the World Governnt and believed that her people's hope lay in Imu.
Suddenly, she knelt down, her forehead touching the ground. With effort, she uttered a heavy plea.
"If... if you promise to treat the Eldians benevolently, I am willing to beco your slave and offer you everything I have."
The atmosphere in the hall gradually beca serious.
Imu stared coldly at Historia without saying a word.
After a mont, a cold voice resonated in Historia's mind.
"The World Governnt's ruling announcent cannot be changed overnight. The Eldians must pay the corresponding price for what Eren Yeager did. This cannot be changed."
The unexpected answer made Historia's eyes widen. She looked at Imu in amazent, noting that everyone seed to be oblivious to what had happened.
Imu's words were, however, misleading. He had the ability to overturn the World Governnt's decision, but Historia was not brave enough to deserve such a favor.
"Now that I've responded to your request, it's ti to talk about what I want."
Imu completely ignored the despair and unwillingness on the face of the young queen and continued to convey his voice coldly.
"You, as a mber of the Eldian royalty, can access the Coordinate Space where Ymir resides. Take to her."
"What?!"
Historia, who just a second before was lanting the fate of her people, now looked at Imu in disbelief.
"How do you know that?!"
The next mont Historia's eyes beca empty. Her will had been subdued by Imu's mind, leading her soul along with his through a path of multi-colored light.
Finally, they both appeared in a strange space, full of stars and silver sand, softly illuminated despite the darkness.
Imu imdiately turned his gaze to a giant tree in the distance, knowing that it was the 'Path' linked to the blood of the Eldians.
Then, he focused on a silver-haired girl in torn white clothing, who was staring at him angrily from a distance.
Imu ignored Ymir's gaze and said calmly: "Since you've allowed to co this far, I assu you want to talk to too, right, Ymir?"
Historia regained consciousness, observing the situation without understanding what had just happened.
"I want to know, what is the dinsional door that you used to co to this world?" Ymir asked with a cold expression.
Imu said calmly: "I see that you have used the mories of future bearers of the Nine Titans to learn about the World Governnt and who I am."
"So, let ask you sothing: Knowing all this, why did you help Eren Yeager fight against us and cause so many losses to the World Governnt?"
This question really intrigued Imu.
"What? Can't I let off so steam after you guys destroyed my hope for freedom?" Ymir turned her head away in disdain, her voice filled with resentnt.
Imu was taken aback for a mont, and as he read her thoughts, he beca even more astonished.
"You actually concealed a relatively good future from Eren just to vent your anger, and let him see only the worst future, so he was so determined to fight us!"
What absurd childishness!
No, there is no concept of ti in this coordinate space. No matter how long she has been here, it is just a mont to the outside world, so Ymir's psychological age is likely to remain at the age before death.
But Eren is too pitiful.
"Eren is useless to . His only value is to vent my anger. Now I want to make a deal with you." Ymir turned to face Imu again.
"Tell ."
"I will serve the World Governnt for fifty years, but after that you must kill and free from this place. I know you can do it." Ymir said with unwavering firmness.
"Fifty years?"
Imu raised an eyebrow, though what he was wondering was whether he really had the ability to kill Ymir. Right now, he didn't seem to have any ans to directly harm a soul.
Maybe in the future?
Or perhaps Ymir is referring to the Enma sword. If she used that sword, it might be possible. But bringing the sword to this coordinate space might reveal the existence of this space to the King of Death, which would be too risky.
"It's too short."
"At least a hundred years, and you must also gather the power of the Nine Titans back into an Eldian chosen by to serve the World Governnt."
Imu stated his request without hesitation.
"Eh... okay." Ymir sighed. In fact, she already knew what the outco would be, she was just trying her luck.
"That..." At this mont, Historia, who had been silent, raised her head and looked at Imu with determination.
"Saint Nerona, if you are willing, you can give the power of the Nine Titans. I am willing to be your Ultimate Titan!"
Ymir remained impassive, while Imu looked at Historia in surprise. "You should know that once you inherit the Power of Titans, you can only live for thirteen years, right?"
Then, he turned to Ymir and asked: "Or can you change that limitation?"
"No, thirteen years of life is already the basic rule of the Power of Titans, and I can't do anything about it." Ymir shook her head.
Historia knelt down again and pleaded with Imu.
"Saint Nerona, if I can exchange thirteen years of loyal service for your kindness to the Eldians, then as the queen of the Eldians, I am willing to do it!"
Imu was silent.
To maximize the power of the Titans, using a mber of the Eldian royalty as a host was the best option. But Historia was the only remaining Eldian royalty. If she had no offspring before she died, the royal line would die out.
Furthermore, Historia, as a mber of royalty, had so control over Ymir, due to the latter's submission.
"Let make one thing clear: It is an unalterable fact that Eldians must enter industrial factories. It's not that I can't do it, but that your worth is not enough even if you beco the Ultimate Titan."
The Ultimate Titan is indeed very powerful. If she were to master Busoshoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki, or even Rokushiki, the Eldian Queen's combat power could probably reach the level of a General.
"But, I can allow the Eldians to have a better living environnt. Think about it a little more!"
Historia's tearful face froze for a mont, and when she reacted, she quickly wiped away her tears, then lowered her head and tried her best to think.
Imu and Ymir stood silently to the side.
After a mont Historia raised her head and stood up.
"Saint Nerona, I've made up my mind!"
"Tell ." Imu looked at her absentmindedly.
Because of her identity, her ability, her courage, and her appearance, Historia t Imu's requirents for a partner. Accepting her was no big deal. After all, he was not an ascetic like the previous Imu.
"On Paradis Island, I have established a few orphanages. I hope you will allow and support in adopting current and future children in these orphanages and teaching them basic skills until they reach adulthood."
Historia's idea was simple: to protect the minds of the Eldians. Twenty years ant a generation of children growing up dedicated only to work. In twenty years, the children of most Eldians will only know about their parents' work and likewise when those children grow up they will only be able to teach that to their children. This will make the Eldians a rigid society from which none of them can escape.
"What a smart woman."
Imu looked at Historia in surprise. He hadn't thought about it, but he liked the woman in front of him more, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, but the content taught in the orphanage must be supervised by the World Governnt."
"Of course!" Historia nodded without objection.
A mont later, Imu and Historia returned to their bodies. In the real world, everything that had happened took only an instant.
anwhile, Historia's body began to turn red and emit white vapor.
His eyes gradually changed from the original blue to erald green, and there was even a stream of bright light flashing continuously, all of which made Imu feel very interested.
Ymir was fulfilling her promise to transfer the powers of the Nine Titans to Historia's body.
