"I made dessert, would you like to try some?"

"Charlulu Inosecio said with a smile."

She has always cooked delicious food for Lin Yan.

However, she had never made desserts before, and she thought that someone like Lin Yan would definitely not like sweets for young girls. But an opportunity changed her mind. By chance, Lin Yan went to the public cafeteria and praised a dessert highly.

That's when she decided to make desserts for Lin Yan.

To be honest, neither Charlene Inosecio has done it.

This is also the first time trying this.

This is a tiramisu.

It uses mascarpone cheese as the main ingredient, replaces the traditional sponge cake with ladyfingers, and adds other ingredients such as coffee and cocoa powder.

It has a wonderfully complex flavor profile, with a smooth, sweet, rich, and mellow texture that adds a sense of depth; the taste isn't just one-dimensionally sweet.

"tasty."

Lin Yan said.

"This is tiramisu. There's a story about tiramisu. Would you like to know it?"

"A good story, very good."

She sat down and stared at Lin Yan.

This was the first time Lin Yan had told her a story.

"A soldier was about to go to the battlefield, but there was nothing left at home. His loving wife, in order to prepare provisions for him, used all the biscuits and bread she could find to bake into a cake, meaning 'take me with you.' That cake was called tiramisu. Whenever this soldier ate tiramisu on the battlefield, he would think of his home and his loved one. In that place, tiramisu has the meaning of 'take me with you,' taking away not only delicious food, but also love and happiness."

Charlene Inosecio smiled sweetly and murmured to herself, "Take me with you?"

"Take me away...take me away...take me away..."

What a beautiful sentence! It was the most beautiful sentence Charlene Inocesio had ever heard. She was also very glad she chose tiramisu, even though making tiramisu wasn't entirely smooth sailing. After all, in the world within the city walls, land and resources were limited.

Population growth has brought many problems.

Food is the most difficult problem.

Making these desserts was a luxury, and Charlene Inosesio went to great lengths to gather the ingredients.

"This is really good. Xia Lulu, your cooking skills are getting better and better."

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."

Charlene Inosecio smiled shyly.

A happy smile graced her serene face, and a bright star shone in her clear, amber eyes. Her flawless, silky skin only added to her allure.

Her cherry-red lips were also so delicate.

She is a ray of sunshine in this dark world.

"Yeah, I like it very much."

Lin Yan wasn't actually unaware of Xia Lulu Inosecio's feelings; she was a young girl just beginning to experience love.

It's very simple.

Bright and clear.

Lin Yan wouldn't expose this secret, after all, the girl's dream was so beautiful, and he couldn't bear to let anyone ruin it.

Even Lin Yan, who had witnessed the coldness and warmth of human relationships, was no exception.

"I heard you were temporarily transferred today."

Lin Yan asked.

Charlene Inosecio was surprised that he even knew such a small thing, and her eyes couldn't help but reveal her undisguised joy.

"Yes, they think I'm a girl. There are some like that..."

Xia Lulu looked at herself; her body was petite and charming.

Those slender, jade-like hands were also like jade.

With her inability to lift heavy objects or carry heavy loads, it's no wonder they think a girl like her should be doing cleaning work.

but--

Does Charlene Inosecio really think that way?

"What do you think yourself?"

"Myself?"

"Yes, what others think is unimportant, but what you think is the most important, right, Xia Lulu?"

"I think……"

"Just speak up bravely, don't have any worries."

“I want to become a soldier, a qualified soldier of the Survey Corps,” Charlu Inosecio said, mustering her courage.

“I know that the Survey Corps was almost disbanded fifteen years ago. At that time, conservatives fanned the flames, advocating that people could only huddle inside the walls and eke out a living, abandoning the most basic human dignity and freedom. They believed that the Titans were invincible. I also know that the Survey Corps had a very high mortality rate in the past, and those who were trained in the Corps were unwilling to join the Survey Corps.”

Charlene Inosesio said so much in one breath.

Although she was a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger and rarely left her home, she was still sometimes full of curiosity about the outside world.

It is not a matter of ignorance or stupidity.

She has her own ideas and understanding of the Military Police, the Garrison Corps, and the Survey Corps.

"They just want to join the military police, and even if they can't, they'll..."

"We wouldn't choose the garrison regiment either... But the Military Police are just a bunch of good-for-nothings these days; they're inactive and have no ideals or ambitions, while every member of the Survey Corps is a hero,"

Charlene Inosecio nodded as if confirming her own thoughts.

Her gaze became even more resolute.

Even more determined.

Determined.

"Yes, that must be it. The Survey Corps are the true warriors. Whether they sacrificed themselves on the expedition, returned with broken bodies, or came back safely, they all deserve the spirit of warriors."

"They are the true guardians."

"What we are protecting is not just human safety, but more importantly, human dignity and the yearning for freedom, which is more important than life itself."

A girl spoke with such passion.

She has such a broad mind.

She far surpassed the average girl, and even surpassed some men.

Charlene Inosecio's face wore a confident smile, which was far more captivating than any coy smile.

This is true temperament.

It's what Lin Yan likes.

"There is a poem in my world: Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all."

Charlene Inosecio's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

A smile immediately bloomed on her face.

"What a beautiful poem. Life is precious, and love is even more precious, but for freedom, nothing else matters, and everything can be abandoned."

Inside the city walls.

In a time when people have been imprisoned for decades, the girl possesses such insights. Lin Yan couldn't help but take notice. It seemed she truly would become the Survey Corps' first female soldier—perhaps not the most outstanding, but certainly the bravest.

Lin Yan couldn't help but cheer her on.

"You can do it, Xia Lulu."

"really?"

"of course."

"But to be honest, I'm aware of my own limitations. My foundation is weaker than others. It seems I need to work harder in the future. Only by putting in more effort than others can I achieve the same results. The early bird catches the worm."

Even so, hard work can make up for lack of talent, I believe in you.

Lin Yan smiled at Xia Lulu Inosecio.

He genuinely admired this girl.

If before it was just pity, now it has an added touch of appreciation.

Girls can be more than just flowers in a greenhouse; they can also bloom vibrantly under the blue sky and on the vast earth.

This is the true color of life.

She will definitely live a different life.

"I will also help you. I will supervise and guide you in training." Lin Yan was determined to train the first female soldier in the Survey Corps.

He is also confident that he can do a good job.

"thank you, sir."

With Lin Yan's guidance, Xia Lulu Inosecio became even more confident, secretly vowing in her heart that she would not lose to him.

That is Charlotte Inosecio's older brother, Shabi.

Shabi has always been proud and arrogant, and he felt that a girl like Charlene Inocesio should be taken care of, but she wanted to prove to him that she was not someone to be trifled with...

She, Charlene Inosecio, is not a puppet to be manipulated.

Thinking of this, Charlulu Inosecio smiled again.

That was a smile full of hope for the future.

After a long conversation, Charlize Inossio left Lin Yan's room, and the surroundings returned to calm once again.

The night is getting darker.

A quiet night.

And there were footsteps coming from afar.

All of this made Lin Yan feel somewhat dazed, as if he were in a peaceful world, but in reality, what appeared to be calm was actually a turbulent undercurrent.

The monarchical autocracy practiced within the walls had feudal characteristics.

There was a monarchy and nobles in each territory. Nobles were allowed to possess firearms within their territories, but there was no military control.

Lin Yan was unaware of the current situation, but he was aware of the situation decades from now.

For example, a nobleman like the Marquis of Barudo.

He may appear to be an aristocrat, but Pixis doesn't really take him seriously. After all, Pixis controls the army and is the Supreme Commander of the Southern District.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that the power of the nobility has been weakened.

So the only people who truly have power, besides the four people around Rhodes, are the president—Darris Thackeray.

The president was wearing a military overcoat and glasses.

He's cunning and shrewd, and acts with extreme caution. On the surface, he seems reasonable, but in reality, he's quite the hypocrite, a trait rarely detected. After all, Thackeray is a true old fox; can his tricks be easily exposed?

After the Battle of Trost District, a military court was convened to decide Eren's final fate.

Later, while Alvin was being tried by the royal government, he collaborated with Pixis to participate in a coup. After achieving initial success, he seized military and political power and privately abused officials of the royal government.

They were filled with anticipation for the newly formed Eldia nation to make contact with the outside world, but they also knew that the situation was not optimistic. Although they had the assistance of volunteer soldiers and Marleyan prisoners, they basically did not trust them.
