So let me get this straight. Your kingdom was, I guess, usurped at some point, but the legitimate royal family somehow survived and hid in the castle walls?! Or do you just mean, on the safe side of the walls keeping the titans out of your cities?

[But then surely the fake royals also stayed within the protective walls rather than settling in a keep outside in the titan-infested areas... sorry, Jean, this is confusing to him! He gets that in everything Jean said just now he meant the latter scenario, but the previous part with the fake royals threw him off.]

As for killing humans, don't worry about it. You do what you have to do in this life. It's not like you killed civilians, or did it for anything but self defence, right?

["Don't worry about it"... isn't he such a good big brother figure?]
