Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

His eyes were full of sympathy, but he still comforted her with a lively tone, "Don't cry, if they bully you again next time, they can come to me directly."

"How can I trouble Your Majesty..." Vanessa raised her head, just in time to catch a glimpse of a little girl with blond hair coming in holding a bundle of straw, her big blue eyes looked at her curiously.

"Sister, who is this silver-haired sister?"

"Ah?" Frieda was a little flustered, and quickly put her arms around Vanessa's shoulders and said, "She...she is my sister's friend, and she is a veritable 'lady' Oh, Hysteria should learn from her. .”

"Hello, Hystria." Vanessa immediately pretended to greet Hystria according to noble etiquette.

Hystria tilted her head, "Are all ladies like this?"

"Well, I'll explain later." Frieda knelt down and hugged Hystria's head, "Let's stop here for today."

Vanessa watched the strange scene, not knowing what happened.

When Frida took Vanessa's hand and left, Vanessa turned her head and looked at Hysteria who had been stunned for a long time and hadn't recovered. She was looking at them both with the eyes of strangers. .Vanessa suddenly realized that this should be the special ability possessed by the royal family.

away from home (2)

The breeze is warm, the farmer's shouts of labor can be heard from time to time in the fields, and the sun is shining warmly on the rugged path.

Vanessa led back her horse and followed Frida, who suddenly asked, "Aren't you curious about what happened just now?"

"No." Vanessa replied tactfully.

Frida still had a faint smile on her face, but there was a little sadness in her eyes, "What do you think of that child just now?"

"You mean Hystria?"

"Well." Frieda looked at the sky, "If one day I'm gone, can you take care of her for me?"

"Your Majesty..." Vanessa looked embarrassed, she couldn't even take care of herself, how could she take care of others?Besides, Frieda was still so young, why did she speak as if she was about to confess her funeral?

"Sorry, I said something inexplicable." Frieda laughed, and the haze just now was swept away, "It's getting late, can you find the way back?"

"I probably know the direction." Vanessa replied in a low voice.

"It's okay, you can come to my house first, and I'll send a message that your family will pick you up, it's not far anyway."

"No..." Vanessa stretched out her hand, wanting to refuse, but Frieda's enthusiasm made her hesitate to speak.

So, in an awkward atmosphere, Vanessa was taken by Frida to her home, a large stone and brick house that looked unpretentious.The head of the house, Rod Reyes, entertained her, and the lord's wife and the other four children of the Reyes family also came up to chat with her.Their attitudes are very easy-going, and it is impossible to see that they are the real royal family inside this wall.

Vanessa noticed that Rhodes' eyes were very similar to that of the child named Hysteria.When asked about the itinerary, Frida also answered before Vanessa, saying that they met by chance, and did not mention anything about the ranch at all.

'It seems that the royal family is not as peaceful and harmonious as it appears on the surface. ' thought Vanessa, clutching her teacup.

As dusk approached, a servant walked into the living room, "Mrs. Sterling is here."

Vanessa stood up, "It seems I should go back, thank you for your hospitality."

"Let me go out with you." Frieda took Vanessa's hand, and the two walked outside the door.

Niobe was standing in front of the carriage. When she saw Frieda, she immediately bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am sorry that my daughter has caused you trouble."

"No, remember to let Dolores come over often in the future."

"Yes." Niobe lowered his head, his eyelids twitching.

Frida turned to a tall middle-aged man and said, "Please escort them back."

"As you wish, Your Majesty," said the man, grabbing his wide-brimmed hat from his head.

Vanessa looked at the man, wasn't it the guy she saw outside Morrison's house back then?In recent years, because the Sterling family still provides the three-dimensional mobile device to the Central Gendarmerie for research, she has met this person several times.It is said that before he became the Central Gendarmerie responsible for defending the royal family, he had a reputation that made Ren fearful. It was also true that many nobles looked sideways at him, including his own father and stepmother.

"Mrs. Sterling, Miss Sterling, please get in the car." Unlike ordinary guards, this man's tone was more or less rebellious.

Niobe seemed to be bored with this man, frowned and got into the car without saying a word.

On the way, although they shared the same carriage with Niobe, they did not exchange a word, and each watched the scenery outside the window fade as the sun weakened.

When he got home, Niobe walked quickly into the mansion, as if he really didn't want to stay with those central gendarmes.The servants of the Sterling family followed closely behind, leaving Vanessa outside the door alone.

Vanessa got out of the car slowly, unlike Niobe, she didn't want to go home at all.

"Next time if you run around again, you might not be able to come back." The man warned.

"I didn't want to come back." Vanessa turned around and asked, "Can I join you?"

"Huh? Did you get shit in your head? Please spare me, Missy who can't suffer at all."

"If I can pass the examination of the training corps, you can't refuse it." Vanessa felt that joining the army might be a good choice to regain what belongs to her, especially the Central Gendarmerie, which is directly under the royal family and parliament, even if it is a noble All have to give three points of courtesy.

"Tch, we'll talk about it after you get through it."

The plan to join the army gradually took shape in Vanessa's mind. She found a relative to help cash out her dowry, and then, despite the relative's dissuasion, brought two trusted servants with her the day before the Wall of Maria was breached. The maid goes south.Originally, they were going to the West Gunsina District, but they heard the news that the Wall of Maria was destroyed halfway, so they settled near the Trost District.

The torrential rain fell on Levi, he opened his eyes wide and looked around, he was standing on the plain shrouded in rain and fog, with a few dwarf trees scattered around, and the ground was stained with blood and human remains.

Why is this scene so familiar?

Taking a closer look, the bodies of Fran and Isabel were lying in front of him, letting the rain wash away.Still not recovering from the shock, Levi's hands tighten as if they're holding onto something.Looking down, it was a slender little hand.

Del and Levi stood side by side in the rain, except now she was the same as she was when she was a child, drenched, her long black hair and white dress wet against her small frame.She stared in horror at the sight before her and trembled, her sobs muffled by the sound of rain.

Levi immediately squatted down, pulled Del in front of him, put her on his back and held her in his arms, stroking her hair to prevent her from seeing the tragic situation of Fran and Isabel.

Why does this happen?

The roar of the giant echoed clearly through the rain, and Levi's heart tightened. It might be too late for the giant to get close. Should he leave Dai'er here to fight alone?In case... Levi didn't dare to think about it.

Suddenly, Dai'er's voice came from next to my ear: "Brother, I'm sorry."

In a blink of an eye, Dai'er changed back to a more familiar image, wearing the uniform of the Survey Corps, but her body was still cold.Levi let go of his hand, and Dai rolled weakly to the ground, the bright blood red spread from the abdomen, staining the white shirt red, and his hands were also covered with blood, even the dense rain couldn't wash it away go.

The "three corpses" in front of him made Levi feel confused and even lost the strength to stand up.The giant came staggeringly behind him and opened its mouth wide.

Just give up?

Levi's eyes froze, and he suddenly clenched the blade in his hand tightly.

"Captain Levi?" Vanessa poked Levi's shoulder with a broom stick from a distance.

Levi woke up suddenly, still holding the pen that approved the document last night, but the body of the pen was a little deformed.It turned out that it was just a nightmare.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Levi was very dissatisfied that Vanessa used cleaning tools for things other than cleaning.

"I saw you rattling your pen while you were asleep. I was afraid that you would get stabbed if you got too close." Vanessa put away the broom. "Didn't sleep well last night. The dark circles under your eyes are a bit serious."

Levi rubbed his eyes, "It's okay."

"It's already past breakfast time, isn't Dai'er awake yet? You have to eat even if you lie in bed all day long." Vanessa glanced at the two servings that she put on another small table when she just entered the door. Breakfast and a pot of black tea.

Thinking that Dai'er fell asleep again without eating anything yesterday, Levi reached out and shook Dai'er through the quilt, "Little devil, get up."

But Dai'er didn't respond as if she was pretending to be asleep.

"Dai'er, wake up." Levi's heart tightened, and he touched Dai'er's cheek and forehead with the back of his hand, which was a little hot.

Hearing Levi's tone change, Vanessa hurried to Dai'er's side, and also checked Dai'er's temperature, and it turned out that she had a fever.She immediately ran out to find the military doctor, while Levi stayed in the ward and continued to try to 'wake up' Del.

The military doctor arrived quickly. After some examinations, he reluctantly issued a critical illness notice: "The high fever persists and he falls into a coma, which should be caused by wound infection. This kind of situation is very common. If you can't wake up in time within a week, you should give up." Bar."

Levi grabbed the military doctor's white coat, "Is there no other way?"

For the first time, the military doctor looked at Levi with sympathetic eyes, "Unless you can get some special
