Right now the manga is coming down to just who you believe and how much. Is the King telling the truth? Or is he full of it and just using Historia for his own ends? It's really interesting honestly in the regard. For those who are only interested in titan killing though I'm sure they are a bit bored. I'm always up for an anti-government/government conspiracy story though. I also like that it's being hinted at that the peoples "protectors" (the state) is even worse then the titans who are literally trying to consume them for no biological reason.
Of course it's already mostly shown that the titans are a kind of weapon being used by an unknown enemy as well, against the people behind the walls. It's an interesting set up at the moment.
