A deafening silence settled between Eren and Rhea, each aware of the weight of their words.
Rhea couldn't shake the feeling that Eren's words held a truth she had been unaware of until now—a truth that cut deeper than she could have anticipated. She had always believed in the integrity of Edinburgh's higher-ups, but this revelation shattered her naivety.
With a furrowed brow, Rhea locked eyes with Eren, searching for any sign of deception. But there was something in the depths of his gaze that made her pause. His emerald green eyes were scary and hypnotizing. She sensed a glimmer of truth, a flicker of sincerity that resonated with her instincts.
"Even if what you say is the truth," Rhea said after mulling over the matter for a while, her voice tinged with a mix of determination and concern. "I still haven't received any recall order from Master Sorin. So, as the captain of the rapid response team, I have to investigate and ensure Brewmaster's Bounty's safety."
