It was years ago that our ancestor, Ymir Fritz, made a pact with the Devil of all Earth and obtained the power of the Titans.

After Ymir's death, her soul split into the Ten Titans, who then built the Eldian Empire.

They went on to destroy the country of Marley so that they could rule over this land.

What followed was an age of darkness. The Subjects of Ymir viewed other races as inferior and persecuted them.

They seized land and property, and forced other races to bear their children to increase their own numbers.

They perpetuated this ethnic cleansing for 1700 years, I believe. I'm not sure, actually.

But the Marleyan people conspired against the Eldian nation from within and gained control of eight of the Ten Titans.

The Marleyans emerged victorious in the Great Titan War years ago. The Eldian King then retreated to Paradis Island and constructed three walls, choosing to hide within them with his people.

Our ancestors were abandoned in this land, but the Marleyans chose not to kill us and instead, they chose to wrap us, Eldians, around their fingers.

"It is our duty as good Eldians to extinguish the bad Eldians on Paradis Island!"

Everyday, I heard those words. That's what Zeke always reminded me to do. And yet, I had always been curious about the, 'bad Eldians', they speak of.

Apparently, Marley cannot afford to overlook the huge reserves of fossil fuels beneath Paradis Island.

However, when the king retreated to the island more than 80 years ago, he left a message for everyone.

"Should anyone dare to disturb us, I will release the tens of millions of Titans within the walls and unleash their destructive power upon the world."

As long as this threat is in effect, they can't simply march an army up to the walls. You'd basically be digging your own grave.

But what if?

"Are the Eldians in Paradis Island...really devils?" I mumbled to myself as Zeke approached me.

"Lada, if we don't focus on training, they're gonna pass the Soaring Titan to another Warrior." Zeke warned.

"Yeah, yeah, keep talking to me and they're gonna pass the Beast Titan to another Warrior." I snapped back before leaving him.

"Now I see why others call you the, 'Ice Queen'. You're as cold as ever." Zeke commented, chuckling a little.

"Shut up for once." I rolled my eyes before making my way out of the place we were training in.

"Oh, are you planning on skipping today as well? Let's go out and get some ice cream then!" Zeke suggested, catching up to me.

"Don't follow me...or you'll get in trouble." I threatened. He seemed unaffected by it, since he just continued to follow.

"Playing as the cool-headed queen, huh? I see how it is. Either way, I'm still following you." he stubbornly said.

"I'm serious, Zeke. If you don't want to get caught, it's best if you leave right now before you get caught with me." I warned.

"Huh? What do you mean? What are you planning to do? We all know you're still suffering the consequences of inheriting the Soaring Titan." he reminded.

"If you're planning on eradicating the Eldians in Paradis Island, don't even think about it. You can't even transform. You still have a week until you can actually use your Titan." he recalled.
