Such plans are rightly framed as inhumane, yet the notion of literally imposing heterosexual behaviours onto Historia by pressuring her into baring children is not one particularly discussed. That is until years later, during Attack on Titan 's final arc, when Historia is targeted from multiple angles into baring children and inheriting Zeke Yeager's Beast Titan, thereby continuing the same traumatic cycle of power the Riess family had coordinated for millennia. Historia manages to retain some sense of control as compensation for taking on this role, opening orphanages to provide shelter for children otherwise impoverished similarly to herself and Ymir once were. While she is able to reclaim her identity and origins, this ultimately leads her to becoming a figure-head ruler of Paradis, largely for the military's benefit. Indeed, things turn from bad to worse for Historia as the series progresses. Tragically, Ymir's feelings for Historia are only explicitly revealed posthumously, in a letter in which Ymir affirms her life's regret is that she never got to marry Historia.
