Inside The Ruins

"What do you see?" Emilia asked curiously.

"There is something inside the ruins. Something powerful— like a core. We need to go check it and make sure it's not something related to the cursed skeletal titan we defeated just now," Sophia answered.

Emilia puckered her lips and muttered, "Do we really have to? We already defeated the titan so let's go back to the ship."

"You don't understand how the curse works, Emilia." Sophia sighed and asserted, "If that powerful core or whatever it is, is truly the cause or related to the cursed titan, then it's going to follow us and haunt us until we get rid of it entirely. So it's better to be sure than regret later."

"Fine~ Let's go and have a look," Emilia groaned. "But let's make it quick. I am truly dying to see Nero."

"How will you see him if he isn't back yet?" Sophia remarked.

"I know, right?!" Emilia groaned louder.
