After a long day off, Keith and Lucas had received news that was devastating to them. With the recent events, it had become imminent to most that an uprising was underway. Commander Erwin Smith of the Survey Corps was deemed the one in charge of the uprising considering his position. He was detained in a jail cell and was going to be sentenced to death. News broke out quickly to the people. Many feared that this was a beginning to a downfall.
Keith didn't know what to do. He remembered hearing the plan from Spencer about luring Military Police Brigade and having them reveal the truth in front of others. For the sake of their commander he hoped that they would go through with the plan sooner rather than later. At this point in time, it was too risky for either parties to communicate with one another. Keith could do nothing but just wait until a move was made.
After everything that was going on, Keith and Lucas both decided to check up on Lana before they retired for the evening. They wanted to make sure she wasn't going to do anything drastic after hearing the news of Erwin's sentence.
When they approached her door, they heard nothing. Keith assumed that she was fast asleep in her room. He gave a small knock and called out to her using her fake name. There was no response. He remembered what happened the last time he walked in and decided that it was best to just knock once more. There was still nothing on the other side.
"Well look at what the cat dragged in," came a sly voice from behind them that gave them both a look of annoyance across their faces.
"Go away Spike, nobody cares what you have to say," Keith replied.
"Oh, that's not very nice to say to the guy who got you into this place to begin with. Now tell me. What does little old Keithy want with little old Nathy?"
"It's none of your business Spike."
"Well, a little birdie told me that your dear pal Nate decided to go to the pub with Kenny and the others. You know, the one that the little rat of the Survey Corps wrecked."
"Wait, did you say Nathanial went to a pub?" Keith asked turning towards him.
"Mhmmm," Spike replied with a grin.
"Have they ever drank before?" Lucas asked as Keith looked back at him.
"This isn't good," Keith proclaimed as he began rushing down the hall.
"Wouldn't want dear old Nate spilling any information now do you?" Spike shouted at them as they ran down the hall.
"What do you think he meant by that?" Lucas questioned.
"Who cares, the guy is a creep anyways. He's probably just saying that to get a rise out of us."
Lucas and Keith made their way to the pub that fell victim to the fight that occurred just a couple of days ago. Windows were boarded up but the place was filled with the sounds of laughter.
The two of them entered into the warm building as many in their squad were happily drinking. Keith quickly saw Lana sitting at the bar with a glass of beer in her hands. She didn't move, didn't say anything. She just remained still as those around her caused a commotion.
"Let's just observe for now," Keith suggested.
"Agreed, she could probably use a moment to herself anyways."
Keith and Lucas both ordered a drink and sat at a table. The table was far enough to where they wouldn't interfere too much, but close enough to be able to hear anything. This would allow them to quickly jump into action in case Lana were to accidentally blow her own cover.
As they drank their drinks, young women walked around the bar coaxing the men of the squad. Keith kept to himself and intently watched Lana at the bar ignoring the women who had approached them. It didn't take long for the conversation to get interesting.
"Nathanial…tell me about yourself," came the crackling voice of Kenny.
Keith sat up and leaned closer towards them. He prepared himself for anything. Lucas was the same as he eagerly awaited to make a move.
"Kenny Ackerman…what would you like to know?" she replied in a low toned voice as she finished her drink.
Her ability to deceive everyone with nothing but her looks and voice was impressive enough. Her voice was on the lower end for a woman of her age and by lowering it even further, she could have fooled anyone into thinking she were a young man. Her petite figure allowed her to hide under clothes more fit for men, giving off the appearance that her defined curves weren't really there at all. It was quite impressive how easy she was able to pull it off.
"Ha, ha, you're something aren't you? Tell me, the story behind your scar," Kenny asked taking a swig from his drink.
Lana raised her hand for another drink after finishing her first. She calmly replied once the drink was in her hands, "Tortured." She paused and took a drink as the men around her were intently listening. "Let's just say my job as an M.P wasn't exactly what I make it out to be. I wasn't always an M.P either. My days started out as a Survey Corps soldier…"
Keith began to rise from his seat. He continuously feared for the worst. A firm grasp to his arm prevented him from moving any further. Keith looked over at Lucas who simply raised an eyebrow towards him. Keith made a concerned face and gestured towards her. Lucas did nothing but shake his head as he got up from his seat. The two approached her and stood behind her.
Little did Keith know at first, Lana was telling a complete lie to those around them. Although there were bits and pieces that were true, most of what she had said were lies. She told them of missions she had underwent within the walls. She informed them that she had never been outside of the walls. At that moment Keith and Lucas both made eye contact with each other and began to back off from her. To make it seem like nothing, they grabbed some drinks and walked back to the table.
"One day one of my missions went horribly wrong. I was still considered a newer recruit too. I was apprehended by after being caught trying to get into the main headquarters. They held me captive and let's just say things went south for me from there."
" tortured you," one of the men sitting next to her questioned.
"It was Squad Leader Jack actually. Before he was a squad leader that is. He was the one who gave me this scar," she stated reaching towards he bandana. She gently lowered it further down her face to show how large her supposed scar really was.
Keith noticed something was different about the mark on her face. A few days prior the mark dug much deeper into her skin. That evening it was evident that her healing had increased substantially. Keith was concerned that others would take notice. He watched the expressions of each person listening to her story. He studied Kenny's face intently and realized that something was not right. Kenny was too calm, almost as if he was enjoying the story that Lana was telling. Almost as if he knew it was a lie.
"In agreement for my life, I was to give up any information I had in regards to the Survey Corps or never return to them and be under the watchful eye of Jack. I chose not to speak…at all. It was to the point that I was placed under special missions within the walls again under the direction of Jack. In a way it was like I became a special assassin for them, taking out notorious criminals in a discrete manner."
"Seriously I don't believe you," replied the man sitting next to her as he went to take a drink.
In a quick flash Keith watched Lana spin off of her chair and grapple the man next to her. She spun him around into a hold and placed a knife up to his throat. Lana's face was completely cold.
"When the hell did she learn how to do that," Lucas whispered as he stood up from his chair.
"I don't know, but those are some serious moves. Heck that's something I could do and I was trained on how to do that," Keith replied getting up from his chair.
The booming voice of Kenny filled the room and replaced the tension with his laughter. Lana let go of the man as he quickly backed away from her holding onto his throat. She calmly placed the knife back in a holster and turned to Kenny.
"Ok…Ok I believe you I'm sorry," cried the man.
"So…you really took out some of the nasty criminals?" a man further down the bar asked.
"Yeah…all but one," Lana replied taking a seat.
"Oh yeah? Who, anyone we know?"
She calmly stared down at Kenny who sat at the corner of the bar. He sat there with a devilish grin across his face as he knew what she was going to say. "Kenny the Ripper."
Keith looked around as the room had fallen silent. No one dared made a sound. The silence was quickly broken by Kenny's booming laughter once more. With the reassurance those in the room began to laugh along with him. He was quick to get up and give Lana a pat on the back.
Keith was able to relax a little bit more after things had died down. The two of them kept a watchful eye on Lana as she got drunker and drunker as the night went on. Never before had they seen Lana drunk, let alone drink at all. The women in the bar had their attention to her as they began to crawl all over her.
The two were confused as they watched Lana letting these women touch her. They were uncertain as to whether or not they needed to stop them or just let things play out. The women and Lana sat at a couch in the corner of the room.
"So…ummm…what!" Keith questioned.
"My thoughts exactly," Lucas replied.
"Ok. So, is she really just that drunk or is she really into it?" Keith continued.
"Man I have no clue but either way those women are all over her."
"I wonder if…Nah. Well maybe."
"You don't think."
"She could be though, that's the thing. But I thought she had a thing for her captain."
"Honestly after what you told me today I am willing to believe in anything at this point. To be honest, it wouldn't surprise me is she was."
During their conversation they failed to notice what was going on. In that moment one of them women caressing Lana's body had gotten a little too close. In her sobering state, Lana realized what was going on and took it upon herself to strike. She quickly grabbed a hold of the woman's throat and slammed her into the wall hard.
"Woah!" Keith shouted quickly getting up from his chair.
He and Lucas both quickly grabbed Lana's shoulders as all eyes fell on her.
"Easy Nathanial, she didn't mean any harm. I think it's time we take you back to the barracks alright?" Keith proclaimed softly.
Lana let go of the woman's throat allowing her to flee with the rest of her friends. Lana pushed passed Keith and Lucas angrily while stumbling towards the exit. Keith and Lucas followed her out the door as she collapsed down to the ground in her drunken state.
"Incredible, her first time drinking and she holds a knife to a guy's throat and then goes and chokes a woman," Keith proclaimed as he picked her up from the ground.
"Come on, let's take her drunken ass back before she causes anymore trouble," Lucas replied as he began making his way towards the barracks.
Lucas decided to let Keith take things from here believing that it wasn't his place to interfere. He knew that Lana was in good hands. Keith dragged Lana into her room and dropped her onto her bed. She groaned as the world was spinning around her.
"What were you thinking?" Keith sternly asked as he began to unbutton her shirt that was now covered in vomit. "You could have ruined everything and it's only been about three days since you've been here."
"Shut up Keith," she replied flailing to get him away from her.
"Don't you shut up, me!" Keith angrily said as he felt like he was talking to a child. His tone of voice quickly switched to that of the father figure that he was. "You're an idiot for attacking that person. And don't get me started on your outrageous story."
Keith pulled fresh clothes out and began to redress her for the night. He forced Lana to sit up on the bed. She didn't look him in the eye but instead stared down at her lap.
"Look at me," he stated grabbing her face and directing it towards his. "You have to be more careful, if you're going to continue doing this." He let out a sigh. "You know Commander Erwin is sentenced to death right?"
He watched her face cringe at the reminder. He gently loosened his grip and examined the scar on her face that was almost healed. He knew that in order to continue the act any further he need to make sure that her appearance remained as it was when she first arrived. He reached down and pulled out a small pocket knife and decided to take matters into his own hands.
"Your healing has progressed even further. You need to stay still because this is going to hurt…a lot."
He calmly tilted Lana's head to the side and prepared himself for what he was about to do. With one hand he steadied her head and with the other he firmly grasped onto the knife. By using the cut as a guideline he dug the knife into her skin opening up the wound once more. Lana grabbed a hold of his leg in the process bracing herself. A small amount of steam rose from the wound as the blood dripped down her face. Using the handkerchief from his pocket, he applied pressure to the wound until it was healed enough for the bleeding to stop.
"Get some rest, ok?" Keith stated as she readied herself for bed.
He couldn't stand the look on her face, but he knew that what she was going through was rough on her. She wanted nothing more than to help her friends. Just like how he wanted nothing more than to protect his family.
That night Keith returned to his house and was greeted by his loving wife. Sebastian was in bed at the time but Keith didn't mind at all. He wanted nothing more than to be in the company of his family for the night.
The sun rose on a brand new day as its warmth found its way through the small opening of the curtain. It was peaceful enough to make everything seem like a bad dream. Keith held onto Robin in their bed as she dug her face into his neck. It was a quiet start to the day.
Sebastian had gotten out of bed and saw his father's boots by the door. The excitement in him caused him to yell at the realization that his father was home again. He ran into his parent's bedroom and jumped onto the bed disrupting the quietness.
"DADDY!" Sebastian called out.
Keith groaned at the pain of his son landing on his stomach. Robin sat up holding onto her face after receiving a small punch to the face in the process.
"Just five more minutes Seb," Keith replied.
"Keith, it's been two weeks since you've been home," Robin stated as she got herself out of the bed.
"Alright, alright." Keith sat up in the bed with Sebastian in his lap. His bright blue eyes were thrilled to see his father once again. Keith reached over and grabbed his glasses. Once on his face he turned to his son and with a smile said, "Here comes the titan!"
Keith grabbed Sebastian and began to playfully threaten to bite him. Robin rolled her eyes as she left the room to start the day.
The family sat down to a nice meal together. Once the meal was completed Sebastian played with a small toy that was given to him by Felix as Robin and Keith had a discussion.
"Has he shown anything at all since the last time I was home?"
"No, still nothing."
"I'm starting to wonder if he has any titan shifting abilities at all," Keith proclaimed looking over at him on the ground.
"I'm quite surprised if that were the case to be honest. But I guess there really isn't any way to know for sure."
"Well, there is one way we could find out if he has any," Keith looked back at her with a serious face.
"What are you suggesting?"
"An extreme indicator other than the actual shifting is the healing capabilities."
"KEITH FREDRICK ABERDEEN! You are not seriously thinking about harming our child!" Robin viciously shouted at him.
Sebastian stopped playing with his toy and stared at his parents with wide fearful eyes. Robin looked at him and tried to calm herself down to ensure that everything was going to be ok for him.
"It was only a suggestion. I'm not about to strike my son! But a way of knowing if he is like me is by seeing how fast he can heal compared to a normal person.
There was a knock at the door that prevented the argument from continuing any further. Keith got up from his seat to see who it was. Standing in the doorway, Keith was greeted by Lucas and Xander.
"Xander? Well if this isn't a surprise. Come on in. Robin you remember Xander from the circus right. He was Jack's prodigy."
"Oh yes, of course!" Robin replied with a smile as if the argument didn't happen.
"Actually I wouldn't really call myself Jack's prodigy as opposed to Caroline's. I feel like I learned way more from her than I ever would with Jack," Xander replied with a charming smile.
Lucas and Xander sat down at the table as everyone had caught up with one another.
Back in the time of the circus, Xander was assigned to Jack to become the next in line as the circus' animal tamer. However, due to the lack of interest on Jack's part, Xander was stuck by himself. He wandered about alone until Caroline took him under her wing. When Xander wasn't with Jack, he was with her learning all that he could and even assisted in caring for those who were injured or ill. Before everything had started happening within the walls, Xander had lived under the care of Jack. However, when Jack wasn't present, Xander was left alone by himself. In that time he had developed a deeper fascination for medical sciences. With Lucas' help, Xander was introduced to Dr. Isaac Tulp. The two of them hit it off and it was decided that Xander would become an apprentice to Isaac.
"Glad to hear that the old man is back in town," Lucas stated after hearing that Isaac was within Wall Sina for the time being.
"That's fantastic Xander, I'm happy for you!" Keith proclaimed with joy.
"Really, it's no big deal. I'm just glad that I am finding something that I enjoy. I hope to try and make a difference in this world."
"Well, this is just step one on your new journey," Lucas said as he gave Xander a pat on the back.
"That's not all. Did you hear that Nico and Nisha are planning on joining the training regiment?" Xander continued.
Keith spat out his drink at the sound of the news. Nico and Nisha, the token twins of the circus were considered to be the sweethearts of the group. Their bubbly personality could not be faltered no matter the mood. They remained positive and happy in any circumstance trying to see the brighter side of everything. During the turmoil of the events that lead them to the walls, they tried to put on a brave face the best that they could. They knew that times were rough but they kept their heads high knowing that good was going to come out of everything.
To hear that the two were joining the military was a bit of a shock to both Lucas and Keith. Keith was scared to see what would happen to either of them. After all of the events that had taken place, it became a great deal of concern that their safety would be jeopardized. Being in the military was a risk everyone was willing to take, no matter what faction you were going to be a part in. Lives are put on the line daily.
Before they could continue any further, there was a knock at the door once more. Robin and Keith both looked at each other wondering who it would be. Normally the only person that would visit them was Lucas or Robin's sister Alex. Lucas was sitting right in front of them and Alex would normally just walk in unannounced. Keith got up and decided to answer the door. Standing before him in a full Survey Corps uniform was Spencer. Keith was in complete shock, he quickly poked his head outside to see if there were any around who may see him.
"You obviously haven't heard the news have you," Spencer stated with a laughter.
"What news?" Keith asked.
"It's all over. Everything, is over. You guys aren't after us anymore."
"You're kidding," Keith shouted.
He invited Spencer inside as everyone was curious as to what was going on. Spencer had informed Keith about a plan that was going to be put in place. There was only one survivor of the Reeves Company massacre and that was the son of Dimo Reeves. By using him as bait, those within the first interior squad were lead into a destroyed area. It was believed that the area was uninhabited by the soldiers. However, even in its destroyed state many people still remained. Hidden away, they listened to the blatant confession alongside news reporters who caught every word. It was revealed that it was the Interior First Squad who had killed the Reeves Company employees. The reporters went against the monarchy and released the article for everyone to read. The sentence placed on Commander Erwin was lifted as the Survey Corps were free to walk the streets once more.
"This is incredible!" Lucas shouted.
"Fantastic even," Spencer added.
"SEBASTIAN!" Robin shouted.
Everyone turned to see the small boy climbing high up on a shelf trying to reach for one of his toys. Robin's yell caused Sebastian to let go of the shelf he was holding himself up with. He lost his footing and scrapped his head on another shelf on the way down. Keith was quick to get up and grab a hold of the crying boy. A small gash was on his forehead as Sebastian held onto it in pain. Xander grabbed a cloth from his pocket and started to apply pressure to the wound.
"Is the little guy going to be ok?" Spencer asked.
"He'll be fine. He just suffered a bit of a wound. Nothing a little bit of a patch won't fix. The bleeding should stop soon."
Sebastian continued to sniffle as Keith took over and applied the pressure to the wound keeping the blood from dripping down his face.
"What were you thinking?" Keith asked.
"I…I…I wanted my bear…to…show…Uncle Lucas," he replied between cries.
"Robin," Keith softly called to her.
She nodded and walked over to grab Sebastian and lead him out of the room.
"Poor kid," Spencer commented.
"You know what just occurred to me Spence. How the heck do you know where I live?"
Spencer went wide eyed at the thought. He silently looked over at Lucas and pointed at him.
Everyone shared a laughter as they were all able to enjoy each other's company. Spencer and Xander didn't stay much longer as they had other things they needed to do. Spencer had to return to Commander Erwin and act as a messenger for the time being. Xander was due for a couple of appointments alongside Isaac as part of his training. Lucas and Keith were left alone once more.
The two decided to take their opportunity and walk around town leaving Robin to tend to Sebastian's crying for the time being. She felt it was best just in case something were to happen. Although Keith was against it at first, Robin insisted that he went and enjoyed his day off.
The two walked around the streets and checked out some of the local shops. Everything was pleasant. Almost too pleasant for that afternoon. Something wasn't feeling right but Keith couldn't place his finger on it. It wasn't until they made it near the center of town that it occurred to him what was out of place.
"I haven't seen anyone from our squadron."
"Come to think of it, you're right. I haven't seen Veronica, Claude, Gil, or even snot nose Spike," Lucas continued.
"I haven't even seen Lana either. I know she was supposed to be on the afternoon route."
The two went back to Keith's house uncertain as to what was going on. There was no explanation as to where everyone was let alone what they were doing. Keith wondered if there was some plan that they were not included in. But then he thought about why Lana would keep it a secret from them. Things were unsettling once again.
When they returned to the house, Robin was sitting at the table with a blank stare across her face. Her chin was resting in her hands as she sat in silence with a cup of tea. Sebastian was sitting at the other end with a book and a pen happily drawing on the blank pages. Keith saw Robin's expression as she held onto her tea tightly.
"Robin, what's wrong?" Keith asked walking over to her.
Robin didn't reply with words, she simply nodded her head towards Sebastian. At the other end was the happy child sitting with his pen and book.
"Look daddy, I drew you!" he proclaimed holding up a poorly drawn image of him in his uniform.
However, Keith wasn't looking at the image, he was looking at Sebastian's face. Earlier that day Sebastian had received the large cut on his face. Now there was nothing, as if he never did fall. At that moment their questions had been answered. This was of a great deal of concern for Robin as she was unsure as to how to handle the situation. Keith walked over to Sebastian and held onto his face. He examined the area of his forehead where the cut was by moving his thick brown hair. His bright blue eyes stared back at his in great curiosity. Sebastian had no idea as to what was going on. He couldn't understand the situation around him.
Lucas watched as he quickly caught on to what was going on. He didn't know how to respond to either of them. No one even knew what was going to be in store for the family. For what was in front of them was not just a titan shifter, but it was a half human, half shifter. Although there were bound to be more like him in the world, a pure blooded titan shifter was a rarity on its own.
In Keith's situation, both of his parents were pure blooded titan shifters. There was a small group consisting of only ten people within this group. They were all pure blooded titan shifters. In Lana's case, it was bound to be the same. All though it wasn't confirmed one hundred percent, Lana lived to believe that both of her parents were pure blooded titan shifters.
"What are we going to do Keith?" Robin asked with her eyes watering.
"I'll tell you what we're going to do," he looked over at Sebastian who continued to draw, "We're going to be the best damn parents that we can be for him. We are going to do anything and everything that we can to make sure that he will be protected and that he will live a happy fulfilling life." He reached over and tousled Sebastian's hair. "I'm not going to let his powers define him like it has done to so many of us. All we can do now is simply wait and see what he is capable of, and when we find that out, I'll be sure to help him like my parents helped me. I will make sure that nothing bad will happen to him even if I have to risk my own life."
Small tears streamed down Robin's face after hearing Keith's words.
"I've been a terrible father. I need to be home more often, for both of you," Keith stated looking back at Robin.
"I'm scared of what might happen to him," she replied.
"Nothing will happen," Keith looked back at Sebastian who started to pick on the uneasiness in the room.
"Nothing will happen, especially with your old Uncle Lucas around," Lucas proclaimed trying to lighten up the mood as he picked up Sebastian from the chair.
A loud banging occurred at the door causing everyone in the room to jolt from the sound. Robin held onto her chest to calm herself down. Lucas held onto Sebastian as Keith sharply turned to the door. While being on edge, he slowly approached the door ready for anything.
"ABERDEEN OPEN UP!" came the voice of Nile.
"Commander?" Keith immediately questioned.
"What's going on, why is the weasel here," Robin replied walking up behind Keith.
Keith opened the door to meet the stern gaze of their commander and promptly gave the official salute.
"Sir, what's going on? It's not like you to just show up at one of our homes."
"I want both you and Lucas to gear up, we are in a state of emergency right now."
"Wait, what kind of emergency. Did a wall fall?"
"Not yet, but it will if we don't do something about it."
Keith quickly got himself ready as Lucas rushed home to do the same.
Word had arrived stating that a large titan had appeared within the walls. A titan much larger than the Colossal Titan was dragging itself towards the Orvud district. From the word that was received, Rod Reiss the true King of the walls had injected himself with a serum. The serum had turned him into the titan and was naturally drawn to the larger population. The titan was slow moving and due to the size, he was giving off an extreme amount of heat.
Rod Reiss had originally devised up a plan to give the serum to his bastard child Historia. With this serum in her possession she would transform herself into a titan and eat Eren Yeager. This would allow her to obtain Eren's abilities. However, it had appeared that while they were brought to the church for the entire process, something had gone wrong. While in the church the plan had failed leading to Rod to inject the serum into himself. Things were further complicated after it had become apparent that the Survey Corps as well as the Anti-Personnel Squad of the First Interior Squad were involved.
It was now Keith's and Lucas' job to maintain the peace within the city. They worked alongside other soldiers and prepared an evacuation procedure. They made sure to inform the citizens that it was just a simple procedure and that no one was in any real danger. The process continued right into the morning of the next day. Everyone was anxious as they were waiting for the titan to get close enough to the wall to follow through with a plan that was created.
Along the wall, the Survey Corps were given permission to counterattack the titan to prevent him from breaking down the wall and harming any of the citizens inside. When the time finally came, they followed through with a plan to blow the titan up. The large face of the titan cleared the wall with great ease allowing them to commence the counterattack. Using Eren Yeager's titan abilities, he shifted and threw barrels of gunpowder into the gaping mouth of the titan. The heat that the titan was giving off was enough to set the gunpowder aflame. In the process soldiers would swing towards the nape of the neck and end his life.
Keith and Lucas did all that they could to prevent chaos within the walls. They tried their best to maintain order as the Garrison assisted the Survey Corps with canon fire at the titan. The two approached the scene where it was happening as citizens were too scared to move. Just as they approached, the titan was already falling from explosions. The end was finally here.
A young girl landed in a wagon up against the wall with her blades still firmly grasped in her hands. She pulled herself from the wagon and stared at the people that were before her.
"Hey isn't that the girl, as in heir to the throne?" Lucas whispered to Keith.
"Yeah, I think so."
"I am Historia Reiss. The true ruler of these walls," She proclaimed.
"Well I'm not going to argue with her," Lucas replied.
Keith quickly looked over at Lucas as if he were an idiot "You know sometimes I wonder what goes through your head. I really do."
Things were once again peaceful. With the titan now declared as dead, Keith was able to return to his home. Both he and Lucas were informed that their entire squad was killed in the battle against the titan at the Reiss Chapel. With information from Spencer, they were relieved to learn that Lana was safe with the Survey Corps once again going under her own name and identity. She wasn't exactly thrilled to be back after realizing the lecture she was about to face. Either way, Keith was satisfied to hear that things were returning to normal once again.
Historia Reiss was taken in and was proven to be the true ruler of the walls after the fake king confirmed that he was living in a lie. Nobody argued with the fact once all of the information was revealed. There were many citizens who were upset over the fact that they were being lied to all of these years. However, with the events that were going on around them, there was a sense of relief that everything was coming out into the open. A sense of normality would return as areas of concern would be resolved. It was a time of peace once again. But how long the peace would last created an aura of foreboding.
