Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

I wish I had to come. "

"The second thing..." Niobe deliberately paused, her red lips slightly pursed, and she uttered a chilling threat.

Finally, Vanessa came to the door of Dier's room. Niobe's personal maid has been following Vanessa, in name to guide, but in fact to monitor.

"Miss, please give me your bag." The maid spoke in a commanding tone with respect.

"I don't remember Niobe saying that I can't bring my bag in." Vanessa opened her bag to show the maid, "There are only these things in it, and won't you go in and listen later? If I put What if people take it away?"

The maid glanced at the contents of the bag, but said nothing, "Please come in."

Pushing open the door and walking into the room, Vanessa smiled and said hello to Dai Er who was sitting on the bed reading a book: "Earl Morrison, sorry to keep you waiting."

When Dai'er saw Vanessa, her eyes instantly became moist, "Vanessa..." She had a lot of grievances and wanted to tell her, and she wanted to ask her a lot.

Vanessa looked back at the maid, but the maid didn't dare to be too blatant, and quietly retreated to the door by herself to watch their every move from a distance.

Vanessa came to the chair beside the bed and sat down, and put the bag on the ground on the other side of the chair, just in the blind spot of the maid, "Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, it's almost recovered. The doctor said that the stitches will be removed in a few days." It was the first time that Dai'er was so excited to the people who visited her.

Vanessa held Dai'er's hand, "Having said that, but you are just recovering from a serious injury, you should take a good rest."

"I see." Dai'er looked down at the hand held by Vanessa. Vanessa was quietly touching her palm with her fingers regularly to convey a message to her.That is a code word in the army, and anyone who has been a trained soldier knows it.Vanessa was telling her at this time: I have something for her later.

"I am relieved to see that you are safe and sound. Is there anything you need to tell me? I don't know when we will meet next time."

Daier heard the meaning behind Vanessa's words. She sorted out her thoughts and started asking the most basic questions: "Vanessa, what is your real name?"

"Did you just think of asking me this question now?" Vanessa raised the corners of her lips, "I won't hide it from you until now, my real name is Dolores Sterling, which is your fiancé's sister .”

Dai'er looked at her in shock. She remembered the name Dolores, but what surprised her even more was that this was Vanessa's home!

"So you knew my identity from the very beginning, right?" Dai'er lowered her head, recalling the scene where Vanessa took the initiative to make friends with her on the first day of the training regiment, "That's why you asked if I could Call me 'Dale'."

"At that time, I was just skeptical."

"Thank you."

"why?"

"Thank you for not disclosing my identity, so that I can live outside my brother... for a few more years."

Vanessa was a little ashamed, "Sorry, I did this for myself. If Delise Morrison doesn't show up, I can inherit your family's property."

"I'd rather have you inherit those properties."

Vanessa broke out in a cold sweat, and glanced back at the maid standing in the corner. The maid lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly, as if she couldn't wait to report the big news.

"If you think so, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of this house alive." Vanessa said in a joking tone.

Dai'er grabbed Vanessa's hand in turn, and looked at the maid, "Are they threatening you?"

Vanessa lowered her eyes, "I hope you can understand."

"Then what should I do?" Dale asked anxiously.

"The most beneficial choice for you and me at present is to abide by the marriage contract between our two families."

"Is this the only way?" Dai'er let go of Vanessa's hand, and the sadness poured out. Even Vanessa couldn't save her. If one day, those people let her stand What about those who oppose the Survey Corps?

Knowing that Dai'er was unwilling to marry Icarus, Vanessa said calmly: "I just asked you to agree to the marriage contract, but you can use various excuses to delay the specific wedding date. For example, to repair your house or something of…"

Dai'er seemed to see hope again, and her gaze became firm, "I see."

"Also, can you tell me about your impression of my stepmother and younger brother?"

Dai'er frowned, and looked at the maid who was watching them again.

"It doesn't matter, just tell the truth, anyway, everyone knows what kind of people they are."

Next, Daile stated with a sad face what happened to her after she came to Sterling's house, and Vanessa also told Daile in cryptic terms that everyone in the Survey Corps was fine.

Vanessa picked up the bag she had brought and put it on her lap, and took out a small bag from it to Del.

"This is?" Dai'er opened the bag and looked inside.Vanessa glanced at the maid from the corner of her eye, and she really stretched her neck to find out.

Daier took out the necklace made of Doug's eyes, her face couldn't hide her joy, as if she found a 'reliance' in an instant.

"The things your mother left you, you should keep them yourself." Vanessa shook the bag deliberately, implying that there was nothing else in it.

"Yeah." Dai'er nodded vigorously, grabbing the pendant of the necklace tightly.

"Also, has anyone come to investigate the reasons for your living on the street or your previous life recently?" Vanessa continued to ask.

Dale shook her head, "No."

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

"What's wrong?" Dale asked strangely.

"It's nothing." Vanessa patted Dai'er's hand, "Is there really nothing you want me to tell you?"

"Tell them I'm fine and don't worry."

"Okay." Vanessa stood up, "It's getting late, and I won't disturb your rest."

"Goodbye." Dai'er reluctantly watched Vanessa walk out of the room.After Vanessa was completely out, the maid glanced at her and closed the door.

Dill was the only one left in the room. She moved towards the bed, picked up a small bag that had been left where Vanessa had put her bag, and hid it under the covers.Twisted lightly, although separated by a cloth bag, she could deduce from the outline that it was the folding knife and a piece of paper that Levi gave her.

Vanessa was brought before Niobe again, and the maid whispered in Niobe's ear for a while, only to see that Niobe's face changed, and then asked Vanessa in an extremely calm tone: " I seem to have overheard some very interesting conversations. Didn't expect you to be on such a good terms that she would voluntarily leave all her property to you."

"Thank you." Vanessa had a bad feeling, and Niobe wanted to kill her.Then as long as she announced to the outside world that she had left, bribed the military police and firmly denied it, maybe she could really be cleared of the suspicion.

"Although Delise wanted to escape, I have just led her back on the right track. No matter what excuses she uses to delay the wedding, as long as you are tough, she will have nothing to do." Vanessa quickly dismissed any suspicion of coveting property .

"I didn't expect you to have today."

The way Vanessa was so frightened that she tried to run away convinced Niobe that she had won the battle.She also learned that because of Delise's appearance, the Russell family had drawn a clear line with Vanessa early on.A person with nothing is not worth the risk of being prosecuted for murder to get rid of her personally, let her go back to the Survey Corps to fend for herself.

The sun was about to sink into the horizon, and the mansion behind her stood majestically. The moment she stepped out of the gate, Vanessa's face was pale, as if she had just returned from hell.Howard wisely sent Vanessa to a nearby town, booked her a room in a high-end hotel, let her have a good rest, and sent her back early the next morning.

After Vanessa left, Niobe came to Dill's room, "It seems that you and Dolores had a good chat."

At this time, Dai'er's eyes were full of hostility towards her, "It's easier than talking to you."

"Do you think she really wants to help you?" Niobe felt ridiculous at Dier's ignorance. "I can tell you that not only will she not help you, but she will also kill everyone in the Survey Corps."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Niobe slowly revealed a fact that Dier could hardly accept. Watching Dier lose her last trustworthy person and trembling and crying, Niobe achieved her expected goal: Dier would never want to see her again. Vanessa is gone, and Vanessa can no longer do tricks through Del.

In the middle of the night, the town fell into a quiet sleep. Howard told two bodyguards to guard Vanessa's door to protect her, and then went back to his room to rest.

Vanessa finished washing and was about to turn off the lights in the room when she suddenly heard a faint and crisp sound from the window glass in the silent room, and a familiar voice whispered to her through the glass: "Vanessa, it's me. "

It was Levi's voice.

For some reason, Vanessa finally felt safe.Opening the window to let Levi in, unexpectedly followed by the rest of Levi's class.Everyone is wearing a three-dimensional mobile device, and the polished blade seems to be ready to be unsheathed at any time.

"Why are you here?" Vanessa asked in a low voice but still surprised.

"No way, we received an order from the head of the regiment to protect your safety." Oluou said.

"Captain?"

Levi explained: "Erwin thinks it's too dangerous for you to come here alone, since you had a verbal conflict with the other party before,
