Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

My father disappeared and my mother died of illness, so I can only stay in the Survey Corps this winter so that I will not be so lonely and cold.He patted Fitch on the shoulder, "Take advantage of the holiday to rest well, and prepare for rigorous training after the holiday."

"Yes!" Inspired by Levi's words, Fitch blushed even more.

After Levi left, Vanessa covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Fitch, do you have a fever?"

"It's the first time I've been so close to Captain Levi, I'm just a little nervous."

Dai'er returned to the dormitory, as expected, it was empty, Petra had already gone home, and she was the only one left in the dormitory.It seems that this winter is going to trouble Vanessa again.When she came to the previous dormitory, Daier opened the door, and Vanessa was packing clothes and some daily necessities inside.

Dai'er's heart tightened, "Vanessa, where are you going?"

"Didn't I just get a letter? My 'boyfriend' invited me to spend the winter at his house."

"In that case, wouldn't I be this year?" Dai'er said in embarrassment.At this age, does she still have to squeeze into the same bed with Levi like she did when she was a child?

Vanessa saw Dai'er's distressed expression, and said, "It seems that you have already developed a sense of defense between men and women, which is a good thing. Don't cling to your brother at every turn in the future."

"Actually..." Dai'er muttered softly, "It's fine if you just sleep."

bang...

A small bag in Vanessa's hand fell to the bed, making a slight metal clang.She stared at Dai'er dumbfounded, "It seems that you are the real old driver." She immediately took out the things she just bought and stuffed them into Dai'er's hands, "I originally planned to pack them up and give them to you. There are instructions inside. With this, you don’t have to be afraid of the cold.”

"Thank you." Dai'er curiously opened the bag to have a look.

Holding the gift specially bought for her by Vanessa, when Dai'er turned to leave, she suddenly found that Kathy's bed was also covered with a dustproof cloth.

Dai Er was surprised and asked: "Kathy came home this year?" Before, Kathy would stay in the Corps during the holidays to save the family's expenses due to financial constraints.

"Yeah. Strange to say. Kathy says he got a job that pays pretty well. Hope it ain't that bad."

"'That kind of bad thing' means like that lame uncle in the logistics department?" Daier asked worriedly.

"If she was the one who stole the check before, it might be possible."

Dai'er nervously grasped the gift in her hand, she didn't know whether it was worry or sadness in her eyes.

Vanessa waved her hand up and down in front of her eyes, "Stop thinking about it, I'll ask when Casey comes back."

After packing up, Vanessa came to Erwin's office with a letter, "Crick will be waiting for me in Trost District tomorrow. He said that it is inconvenient for Russell's carriage to appear near the Survey Corps."

Erwin opened the envelope and looked at it carefully for a while, "Thank you for this task."

"If I can't find out any useful information this time, will Commander Erwin cancel his cooperation with me?"

"Not yet. Your noble status is still the most valuable thing."

"It's so straightforward." Vanessa was not very happy.

"I will let Levi wear a three-dimensional mobile device and follow you along the way to protect your safety. Take a good rest today."

Vanessa returned the letter without saying a word, and walked out of Erwin's office without looking back.It wasn't Erwin's words that offended her, but she felt that this man was too dangerous, and he said so many mistakes, it would be easier to just shut up.

The next morning, Vanessa also dragged her luggage out of the headquarters of the Survey Corps.Although Daier wanted to give her a ride and see what her boyfriend looked like by the way, she was strictly rejected by Vanessa.She only asked Fitch to drive the transport vehicle to take her to the inner gate of the Trost District, and then remained silent all the way.

Dai'er, who was rejected, looked at Vanessa away with a little reluctance, but she didn't follow out secretly, because Vanessa's expression when she refused was rarely scary.

The carriage hurriedly arrived at the inner gate of Trost District, and Vanessa got out of the carriage with the help of Fitch, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome. Come on." Fitch encouraged Vanessa.

"If I resign because I want to get married, you will be mainly responsible." Vanessa joked.

"Then you better stop trying," Fitch joked.

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and laughed in unison.In the distance, Levi is riding a horse, the cloak on his body covers his face and the three-dimensional mobile device he wears.

Vanessa arrived at the pick-up location as promised, and the carriage with the Russell family crest stopped on the side of the road.

"You are finally here." Crick got out of the car quickly, raised his arm in a gentlemanly manner, and let Vanessa help him into the carriage, and then he entered the carriage and sat opposite Vanessa.

After the servant put Vanessa's luggage away, the coachman lightly waved his whip and drove the carriage out of the Trout area again.Along the way, Levi either rode a horse or used a three-dimensional mobile device to follow behind the carriage diagonally, and did not stop tracking until a checkpoint guarded by military police.If there is no accident, after the checkpoint is the territory of the Russell family, Vanessa should be safe.

On the way back to investigate the Corps, Levi's thoughts were a little confused, worried about Vanessa's actions this time.He has also met that Senator Russell. He is an old and cunning fellow. Is it possible that this invitation was sent out just to put Vanessa under house arrest and stop her from contacting the Survey Corps?If Vanessa returns successfully, how can we tell if she has betrayed the Survey Corps?Is the information she provided accurate and valuable?

No matter what the result is, he can only choose to believe in Erwin's judgment and take one step at a time.

The interior of the nobleman's carriage is very spacious, the cushions are soft, and the air is very warm. A small hollow aroma diffuser hangs by the window, quietly exuding a light floral fragrance.After Vanessa got into the carriage, she slumped on her seat nostalgic for a long while before asking, "Why did you send flowers so blatantly? Because of your actions, my identity has been exposed."

"I'm sorry if my letter has troubled you." Crick said earnestly, "but it is also because of that letter that we can meet as openly as we do now."

"It's not you who wants to see me, but your father." Vanessa said slowly.

"I was discovered by you." Crick smiled: "I said I would convince my father."

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to actually do it." Vanessa praised speciously.

Crick didn't mind Vanessa's cold tone, but was delighted to hear Vanessa's praise.

The carriage drove into an aristocratic mansion, walked around the round flowerbed covered with 'white cotton' and came to the front of the villa.The butler politely helped Vanessa out of the car, "Miss Sterling, Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm going now." Vanessa lifted her skirt, walked up the stairs under the guidance of the butler, and came to the door of a study.

The butler knocked lightly on the door, "Master, Miss Sterling has already arrived."

"Please come in."

The butler opened the door and made a 'please' gesture.Vanessa took a deep breath, walked into the study, and closed the door behind her.

The 50-year-old man sitting in front of him, with his hair and clothes neatly arranged, looks like a majestic statue. He is the Russell MP, but the MP is only his title in the parliament.

"I'm sorry that I can only come to see you in such vulgar clothes, Duke Russell." Vanessa slightly raised the sides of her skirt with her hands, slightly bent her knees, and bowed her eyebrows to Congressman Russell.

Congressman Russell nodded, "Long time no see, you have become as dazzling as your mother."

"You are too much." Vanessa responded lightly.

"You seem to have some complaints about the exposure of your identity."

Vanessa was shocked, did MP Russell see through her dissatisfaction at a glance?

"As an old friend of your father, I think it is necessary for me to remind you. Identity is not used to hide, you must learn to use your own identity advantages to achieve your own goals. My son will send you flowers, and they can no longer pretend to be deaf If you are dumb, you have to have a showdown with you, and you can take advantage of your status as an aristocrat to exchange your interests with them. Am I right?" Congressman Russell asked rhetorically.

"I did reach certain conditions with the Survey Corps, but I can't tell you." Vanessa replied with a half-smile.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you don't be so stupid as to betray the royal family." Congressman Russell let out a breath of disdain and angrily, "Erwin Smith is indeed a scheming guy. He knows you may betray them but dares to betray you Stay by your side, that's how Robov was crippled by him back then."

"Member Roberf?" Vanessa thought about it, "Erwin Smith seems to have used this to take Captain Levi, who was originally a gangster in the underground street, for his own use. He is indeed a tricky guy."

Congressman Russell snorted coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, Erwin Smith asked you to collect information about me this time, right?"

"Exactly." Vanessa said bluntly, "so you have to hide your tricks."

"Interesting." Russell folded his hands and rested his elbows on the desk, "It depends on your ability. On New Year's Eve, there will be a banquet here, and the news of you taking refuge in me will spread throughout the noble circle, but May you not disappoint me."

"I try my best."

"Okay, you go down first. We still have time to talk about 'business'."

Vanessa saluted again, and the butler opened the door of the study.Just as she was about to leave the study, Congressman Russell suddenly said: "The violent
