At this moment, Historia felt as if the person standing before her was not a human but a terrifying giant beast. Every word and sentence from Tang Cheng was like a knife, slowly peeling away the mask she used to disguise herself. The无形的压力使她的大脑一片空白，甚至连呼吸都似乎变得艰难了起来。
Her real name was Systria Reiss, the daughter of a nobleman named Rod Reiss, but this was a secret that was not allowed to be made public, and she herself was not even allowed to live by her true name. So she had to become Historia Lancaster, another girl. But now, her biggest secret had been so easily uncovered.
It was not just that. Rod Reiss was not just a nobleman but the supreme ruler of humanity. She was not an ordinary illegitimate daughter but someone who carried the blood of the king. These secrets were even unknown to her.
With her long-hidden secrets exposed and even more shocking information pouring in, Historia was completely at a loss as to how to react.
However.
As the saying goes, if one does not burst out in silence, one will perish in silence. Under Tang Cheng's relentless gaze and his words filled with无形的魄力, the girl named Historia Lancaster, who was extremely popular in the Training Corps and was called a goddess by her admirers, finally perished. With the collapse of this persona, the true form of Systria Reiss finally revealed itself to Tang Cheng.
"Yes, you're right, I am indeed Systria Reiss, but so what?" At this moment, the girl's face no longer showed the usual gentle and kind expression. Her originally beautiful and gentle face turned cold and indifferent, her bright eyes seemed to be shrouded in darkness, appearing hollow and lonely. Even her voice lost its usual warmth, like the frost of winter, revealing a cold and ruthless attitude towards everything.
"The reason you chose me as the queen of humanity is because Historia is a good girl, gentle, kind, and willing to think of others. Such a queen can indeed be loved by the people, but... Historia is just a persona I created as a child based on picture books. The real me, Systria, was never loved by anyone, never expected by anyone, and even I never expected my own future."
"Ha ha." At this point, the girl laughed in self-mockery. "If it were Historia, she would be very sad to see someone injured or die and would care about them, but Systria wouldn't. To Systria, everything in this world is irrelevant. Whether someone dies, gets injured, or even the survival of all humanity... for such a person, do you really want to choose her as the queen of humanity?"
"And." Without waiting for Tang Cheng to answer, the girl continued, "I don't know where you learned my secret, but you got one thing wrong. My father, Rod Reiss, never said he wanted me to be his successor. That man not only killed my mother but also changed my name and sent me to the frontier. Everything he did was just to protect his own reputation, fundamentally denying my existence... Of course, I am not sad about my mother's death or my father's actions because my mother never looked at me with respect. The only time we ever interacted was when she slapped me. Her last words to me before she died were, 'I wish I had never given birth to you.' And my father was just a person who brought me nightmares and killings. As for myself, I am an empty, meaningless existence, not needed by anyone."
"Even joining the Survey Corps was not Historia's will but Systria's. It wasn't because Historia wanted to be useful, but to use Historia's identity to bury Systria... To put it bluntly, Systria doesn't expect anything from this world; she just wants to die."
"This is the Systria Reiss you chose. Do you still want me to be the queen of humanity?"
After saying this, Historia looked at the man in front of her coldly.
The girl's transformation was so drastic that it was like a heavy snowfall in the scorching summer. If it were anyone else, they would have been shocked. Even Tang Cheng, Historia believed, would be disappointed in her. But what she never expected was...
"Ha ha ha ha." After hearing the girl's words, Tang Cheng suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Historia couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, I'm happy."
"Happy?" Historia couldn't understand what in her words could make him happy.
Tang Cheng took two steps back and looked at the girl opposite him as if she were a work of art, smiling. "To be honest, if you were just Historia, I would still choose you as the new queen, but a queen who is too kind and saintly would conflict with my path. In less than two months, I wouldn't have the confidence to mold such a Historia into the queen I envision. But!"
"If it's Systria, there's no problem at all. Abandoned by her parents and bullied by her peers, only animals were willing to be close to her. A girl who grew up in such a dark environment truly understands the cruelty of the world and is more suitable for the path I will grant you... In short, compared to the fake Historia, I prefer you, Systria!"
"You?!" Historia was so frightened that she took several steps back. Compared to the secret being revealed, what Tang Cheng said now shocked her even more... Not the beloved and well-liked Historia, but the Systria who was never loved by anyone, even her own parents, could also be needed?
"No... No! No!" Suddenly, Historia shook her head forcefully. She had long seen the fact that "Systria" was not expected. At this point, she wouldn't hold on to such a futile hope. "You don't understand, you understand nothing! The survival of humanity has nothing to do with Systria, and I have no obligation to be the queen of humanity. In the end, what Systria truly wants is... Ah!"
Before she could finish, the girl saw a figure flash before her eyes, and Tang Cheng suddenly appeared in front of her, lifting her by the waist and carrying her over his shoulder like a piece of cargo.
"What... What are you doing? Put me down!"
The girl instinctively called out, hitting Tang Cheng's back forcefully.
Tang Cheng remained unmoved, walking forward quickly and saying, "Do you want to say that Systria only wants to die? If that's the case, why are you still alive? Death is not just being eaten by a Titan. Poisoning, jumping from a building, jumping into a river, shooting, hanging, cutting your throat... in your environment, if you really wanted to die, there are countless ways to do it. So why are you still alive?"
"I..." The girl was speechless, and even her hitting stopped.
"You're just trying to escape, hmpf!" Tang Cheng snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain. "People with tragic childhoods are countless in any world. If you think you're special because of that, you're too naive. Take me, for example. My sister died when I was twelve, my younger sister died when I was thirteen, and my entire family died when I was fourteen. I couldn't even find their bodies, but I still lived a carefree life... In the end, although you've seen enough darkness, you lack the resolve and goal. With your half-hearted attitude, even if you become queen today, you'll be overthrown in a few days. So... let me give you the resolve and goal."
"What... What do you want to do?" The girl suddenly had a bad feeling.
Tang Cheng didn't answer, letting the girl hit him. After about ten minutes, he carried her to a cliff, a steep slope at least fifty to sixty meters high.
Tang Cheng stood at the edge of the cliff, put the girl down, and grabbed her by the neck, holding her body out over the cliff, looking at her coldly. "You said you want to die, didn't you? Let me ask you again, do you want to die?"
"Ugh...!" At this moment, the girl was extremely afraid. Her hands instinctively grabbed Tang Cheng's arms to prevent herself from falling. Her difficult breathing made her feel like she was suffocating, and her face was pale. But hearing Tang Cheng's question, she felt both wronged and angry, and defiantly squeezed out a few words, "I... want... to die!"
"Fine, I'll grant your wish. Go to hell."
The cold words were devoid of any emotion. After saying this, Tang Cheng threw the girl out.
"Ah!"
The girl's small body flew off the cliff, falling mercilessly downward.
