Onyankopon is standing at the window in frustration, while Diplomat Kiyomi is just arrived from the infirmary after recovering from her injuries. After her ship is sunken by Falco's Titan and is stranded on the Marley coast, she cures her injuries and waits with her last servants, her doctor, a servant and a few soldiers for the next ship from Hizuru.
“I'm greeting you, Onyankopon. Congratulations on your promotion! ”She greets the native Brit.
“Thank you Diplomat Kiyomi. But I think that the former Commander Arlert or Officer Kirschstein would have been better for this job, "Onyankopon rubs thoughtfully his neck .
“Anyway. We can't change the situation anymore ! Furthermore, Queen Historia has given you the task of taking over the position until a replacement is found. According to your information, unfortunately only both Ackermanns and both Marley children survived. How bad is it with Mikasa Ackermann? ”Since the second origin of the female Ackermann was revealed about 2 years ago, the head of the Azamubito clan has shown keen interest in her. Initially only for political reasons, later also for private almost amicable reasons and Mikasa offered asylum in case the worst should come. This case seems to be here now, but for reasons that were not foreseeable.
"Not good at all. She is charged with 2nd murder of the Marley army and one serious assault. In addition, she refuses to make a confession and Marley still has prejudices against the Eldier and especially the Ackermanns, even though the Alliance saved their lives, "Onyankopon says with concern.
"How did that happen? I don't think Miss Ackermann would react that way for no reason. Do you know about the circumstances?“ Dipomat Kiyomi asks.
“Just guesswork. She was found completely neglected together with Gabi Braun in the refugee camp in front of Fort Salta. Both are completely disturbed and I had to give General Mueller the instruction not to use his weapon to his subordinate. It appeared that Mikasa only had 3 soldiers as her target objects. After they were out of action, she let herself be arrested without a word, " Onyankopon says ," I also assume that Gabi Braun was harassed, which probably triggered Mikasa Ackermann. "
Diplomat Kiyomi listens calmly to everything, “there are bad rumors circulating about the refugee camp, Onyankopon. There must be something real about both of them arriving here in such dire straits. What does Levi Ackermann know about it? "
Onyankopon looks at the diplomat from Hizuru in astonishment, “Nothing specific yet, as far as I know. As I said, Mikasa refuses to talk about it and Gabi does not give the impression that she has confided in anyone so far. We would find out from the reactions of Falco Grice and Levi Ackermann.“
"At all costs prevent Levi Ackermann from finding out, that she faces the death penalty in the worst case. As a rule, he reacts calmly and prudently, except when it comes to Mikasa. In the worst case, it comes to a scandal and you have surely noticed that Mikasa is his weak point. Hizuru is interested in getting both of the last Ackermanns out of this affair ", Diplomat Kiyomi notes.
“I would like that as well, just for Commander Zoe, but how is that supposed to work? Since Captain Levi has known that she has arrived safely here, he has not been separated from her. ", he looks worriedly at Dipomat Kiyomi, „and rejecting him as she used to do, she no longer does. "
“At least some good news”, Diplomat Kiyomi thoughtfully holds her forehead, “that their relationship seems to be improving a bit.” Onyankopon looks at her in surprise, “You're not trying to pair up the two of them, are you? This is madness from what I know ... "
