Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Speeding away on the road.

"Tsk, running so fast, there must be ghosts in my heart." Levi said impatiently driving the horse.

Vanessa still had a stern face, "If the boss was really bribed to give false testimony, I'm afraid there will be a lot of bad luck now."

"If that's the case, I hope we won't be suspected again." Mikay sniffed and said.

The pawnshop owner was sitting on a transport vehicle, and the transport vehicle quickly drove into a section of forest path. The forest was very quiet, only the occasional birdsong came from the depths of the dense forest.The air was also very fresh, and the pawnshop owner lay comfortably on his seat and fell asleep as he watched the greenery and sunshine intertwine.

Neither the coachman nor the pawnbroker noticed a pair of eyes staring at them from the woods.

The horses ran at full speed for two hours, and Levi, Mikay, and Vanessa entered a forest path.However, at this time, their horses all slowed down in unison.

"The stamina of ordinary horses is not as good as that of survey corps horses." Vanessa stroked the mane to soothe the tired horse.

Helpless, the three repaired on the spot first.

Mikay comforted: "The speed of the carriage must be slower than ours, and the rest time will be longer, and it will catch up soon. But then again, why did Erwin bring you this time?" He asked Vanessa .

Vanessa was holding her head up to drink from a water bag, and she almost choked when she was asked this question, "Squad leader, you don't even know, how do I know?"

Mikay sniffed his nose, it was a lie, but he didn't expose it.Suddenly, Mikay smelled something strange, and said vigilantly: "Be careful! There is a smell of blood ahead."

Levi's heart tightened, and he immediately got on his horse and rushed forward, followed by Mikay and Vanessa.After a while Levi reined in, stunned by what he saw.

"This..." Vanessa covered her mouth and nose in fright.

A transport cart rolled over on the right side of the path, and the horses pulling the cart disappeared. One of the two blood-stained corpses fell not far in front of the cart, and the lower body of the other was crushed by the cart. The wound on the upper body was still bubbling with blood.

After dismounting to check, both of them were dead, and the person under the car was the pawnshop owner who testified at the meeting today.

Mikay peeled off the clothes of the deceased to check, "The fatal injury is a penetrating wound to the chest."

Levi checked the ruts on the road and the connection between the horse and the cart. He speculated that someone had cut the connection with some kind of sharp object first, and the horse pulling the cart was frightened and ran away.The carriage lost power and overturned due to inertia.The coachman and the pawnbroker fell injured.

The coachman saw someone attacking them and was killed in the process of escaping, and his abdomen also had traces of being pierced by a sharp weapon, while the pawnshop owner was stabbed when he was crushed under the car.The whole process was so short that the victim didn't even have a chance to call for help.

"I think it would be better for us to report to the Gendarmerie right away." Vanessa stood far away, not daring to approach the bloody crime scene.

"One step too late." Levi thumped the tree trunk next to him angrily, and a few fallen leaves fell on him.Levi slapped the leaves off, caught a glimpse of something unusual, "What's that?"

Vanessa walked to Levi's side, followed Levi's gaze and looked up, there seemed to be a radial crack on the high tree trunk.The shape of the crack looked very familiar, "That seems to be..."

"Traces of using a three-dimensional mobile device," Levi said.

Vanessa was so frightened that she immediately took a step closer to Levi, looking around in a panic, "The murderer is probably still around."

Levi looked around, but didn't feel anyone, and Mikay also sniffed the air, "There should be no one nearby, but there seems to be a bit of smoke left at the scene."

"It's getting dark, let's go back and report the situation first." Levi urged Vanessa to get on the horse, deliberately following her on the way back just in case.

"The pawnshop owner was killed?" Erwin returned to his residence after finishing his work, and bumped into Levi and Vanessa who had returned to the capital.He quickly recovered from the shock, "Have you reported to the Gendarmerie?"

"Mikay has gone, I'm not sure if the murderer will turn back, we'll let you know first." Levi said seriously: "There are traces of three-dimensional mobile devices at the scene, which can also explain why the murderer was able to attack the moving carriage .”

Erwin also realized that the situation was not good. "The opponent has people who can use three-dimensional mobile devices, and they may even have colluded with the military. It is not impossible to send people to the castle." He turned and asked Wen who was sitting on the sofa. Nisha: "Do you know if there is anyone under your stepmother or younger brother who can use three-dimensional mobile devices..."

In a blink of an eye, Vanessa was gone, only a ball of quilt lying on the sofa.Erwin didn't ask any more questions, the answer was already clear.If Vanessa knew of the existence of such a person in advance, she would not be afraid of becoming like this.

That night, all four of them crowded into Erwin's room, one on the bed, one on the sofa, and one on the floor.Levi sat in a chair, sleepless all night.But in the face of today's predicament, no one can really sleep.

wake up (1)

The morning sun awakened the earth, the birds were cheering on the trees, and a few naughty birds broke into a window in the breeze, chirping and chirping.On a big bed by the window, the eyelids of the sleeping person twitched, as if awakened by the noise.

"Where is this place?" Staring blankly at the high ceiling, Dai'er remained motionless for a long time before realizing that she was not in the ward of the Survey Corps.

Turning her head left and right to look around, Daier found that she was in a luxurious and spacious room, more than five times larger than the previous ward, the walls were inlaid with dark solid wood and elegant marble, dressing table, wardrobe, Floor-to-ceiling mirrors, tables and chairs, sofas, bookshelves and other furniture are subtly integrated into the decoration of the room.

The unfamiliar environment made Dai'er vigilant, and she sat up regardless of the pain in her stomach.When she propped herself up on her elbows, the soft mattress almost made her lose her balance.Del supported her forehead and recalled the last scene before she fell asleep. Levi was working in the ward at that time, and she was watching from the side, and fell asleep without knowing it.

"This must be a dream..." Dai'er still couldn't believe that she was inexplicably transported to a place like a palace when she woke up, although the bed was really comfortable to sleep on.

A maid opened the door and came in. Seeing Dai'er sitting up by herself, she was both surprised and happy. She walked quickly to Dai'er with her mouth shut, put down the basin and towel, "Miss, are you awake? I'll go right away." Inform Madam and Young Master. Please don’t get up first, and let the doctor show you later.” The maid served Dai’er to lie down and disappeared in a flash.

"That..." Dai'er stretched out her hand towards the air, before she had time to ask what was going on, "What exactly is this place?"

After a while, several people who looked like doctors and nurses hurried in, and behind them was a dignified and elegant blond lady holding a feather fan and walking.

The doctor checked Dier's injuries and consciousness, and asked her if she had any headaches, chest tightness, or any discomfort.Dai'er replied vaguely 'no' a few times.The doctor turned to the lady and said, "Miss has regained consciousness, so there should be no serious problems."

The lady nodded, "Go down."

It was as if the others had never appeared before, and there were only Dai'er and the noble lady left in the room in an instant.

"Who are you? What is this place?" Dai'er nestled under the quilt, only poking out half of her head to look at the other party.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, Miss Morrison." The lady smiled amiably, "I am Niobe Sterling, and my son is Earl Icarus Sterling. In our house."

"Then why am I here?"

Niobe smiled faintly, "Isn't this a matter of course? You are Icarus' fiancée."

Dill's eyes flickered for a moment, and Niobe knew she must have remembered.However, Dai'er didn't want to admit it at all, she only had one thought now: to return to the Survey Corps.

"You've got the wrong person." Dai'er turned her head and said coldly.

"How could it be? We rescued you after a blood test." Niobe could not hear any tension or anger in his voice.

Dai'er's hands were tightly clenched under the blanket, and she never mentioned her own life experience to Levi at all. Even if Levi had doubts, he wouldn't guess that she was a nobleman, unless there was another person who might know Her true identity is Vanessa.It is very likely that she appeared here and was saved because she told her that she was a nobleman.

Seeing that Delise still wanted to deny her identity, Niobe said unhurriedly: "Actually, the investigative corps had already suspected that you were Delise Morrison, so when you fell into a coma, Captain Smith will send someone to the Gendarmerie to verify your identity. Captain Levi made us believe in your true identity by telling you Delise's hobbies clearly."

Knowing that Levi knew her so well, Dai'er suddenly felt very warm in her heart.However, now is not the time to be moved.Dai'er sighed softly, she couldn't hide it anymore, she covered her mouth with the quilt and stopped talking, but she didn't deny it anymore either.It's just that Vanessa wasn't among the people who revealed her identity?Something just doesn't feel right.

Dai'er's silence was a tacit consent to her identity, but it also showed that she didn't want to stay here at all, but wanted to escape.In order to dispel Del's thoughts, Niobe continued: "There is one more thing I need to tell you. As the fiancée of the Sterling family, I do not allow any stain on your past. Therefore, Del
