This looks like continuation of cycle.humanity perpetual need to fight and for war. this generation lived and rebuild. Next generation had a devastating war which either destroyed only Paradis island or entire civilization. Hundreds of years passed (that tree is obviously hundreds of years old similar to 500-1000yr old Redwoods in CA.) Young boy finds a hollow of a tree with parasitic titan symbiote (like Ymir did) Titan cycle starts again.
Did I misunderstand something. I though Concubine Xiao (the one with Brand) concocted allergy plot to get MC using info she got from her brother, the general. Using little princess as convenient victim to get to MC. But it kind of looks like her brother, the general is the mastermind who actually targeted Emperor's daughter using his stupid sister crusade against MC to shift blame from himself to MC? With MC (and his sister) being scapegoats for his actual plan?
He was legit trying to help his sister with the MC (also to get some revenge for his daughter). They plotted together, but he was not going down with that ship. It also doesn't matter that he used her. She has 0 options left. She has no life skills, so she will have to depend on her brother to survive.
Forget about Chloe being a girl, the whole castle stuff, including prince, look like they never dealt with small children before. Furniture in the room is not child friendly, food is not child appropriate, they are too clumsy in their behavior and mannerisms toward previously abused child. Is it done on purpose by author, to show how everyone here is male, and males don't know first thing how to deal with a small girl child? Or is it just author not thought it thru since small children should be cared for the same way regardless male or female?
Did Eren imply that he sent that Smiling Titan towards his home leading to death of his mother?
So was there a time loop involved? One where Berthold lived but Paradis lost, and Eren and Mikasa hid in wilderness to live out Eren's last 4 years, and thats the one he remembered in ch1 and this one where Berthold died, Eren killed 80% of humanity and released Titans curse but died?










Annoyed me to no end as how all the men were insulted that Navier immediately remarried instead of "considering emperors feelings" and he is the one who cheated, insulted her, framed her and her brother, divorced her just to marry his slave-concubine. And he needs to have his feelings consided. Just drives me mad.
