It is two months after Historia's coronation, but she spends most of her time caring for children at a rural orphanage. In the subsequent Military purge following the coup, considerable talent was lost from Humanity's forces, but the discovery of glowing ore in the Reiss cavern, was a bonus.
Meanwhile, humanity's defense capabilities are enhanced by Eren's increasing control of his Titan hardening ability and Hange's development of a new anti-Titan weapon for wall defense called the "Executioner from Hell". Eren suddenly recalls that the man in his vision who knew his father was the former Cadet Corps Commander Keith Sadies. The scouts question Sadies who tells them of the time 20 years ago when he met Grisha Jaeger outside Wall Maria with amnesia. Grisha learned about life within the walls, used his abilities as a doctor to heal the sick, and later married Carla who gave birth to their son Eren. During the Titan attack on Shiganshina, Carla was eaten by a Titan, and Grisha took their son Eren into the woods where Sadies later found him wearing a key around his neck. All this time Sadies felt that he was inferior and nothing special, just a bystander, so he resigned his post to focus on training the Cadet Corps. The scouts then make preparations to retake the Wall.
