Eren stepped into the dimly lit cell of the Sea Dragon Empress, his appearance drawing a stunned gaze from the Sea Dragon Empress.
"As you can see, we are on the same side," Eren stated calmly, reaching for the shackles crafted by the Holy Priestess. "I have no intention of harming you."
He refrained from breaking the magical shackles themselves, aware that doing so would alert the Holy Priestess.
Instead, he focused on the chains attached to the old walls. With a strong force, he pulled out the shackles from the wall. He freed the Sea Dragon Empress, granting her partial freedom.
Exhausted, the Sea Dragon Empress lost her balance as soon as her hands were freed. She was almost about to fall to her knees when Eren grabbed her by the shoulder, supporting her.
"Are you alright?" he asked, guiding her gently to the ground to rest. Her body still carried the weight of the Holy Priestess's shackles around her ankles, wrists, and neck, putting a heavy strain.
