Chapter 353: The Strange Emperor

"We have heard a lot about the hospitality of the Holy Empire. Unfortunately, those who came before us were not able to experience it," Eren said, shaking the Holy Emperor's hand with a hint of intrigue at the strangely familiar gesture.

The handshake of the Holy Emperor felt slightly stiff. It was clear that he was putting a little too much strength behind that handshake, albeit not intentionally.

For Eren, this amount of strength was not enough to seriously hurt him but it was also uncomfortable, especially since the Holy Emperor was not weak either.

From what he remembered, the Holy Emperor was supposed to be as strong as a Cardinal. With just his raw strength, it did not seem like an exaggeration.

He didn't dwell on it further and continued, "But it doesn't matter. Those who took this opportunity from them will soon pay."

Eren's words were not directed at anyone in particular, but he had conveyed the message he intended to send.
