Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

They won't believe me.That's why I changed a similar name, hoping that people who knew me would find me. "

The military police nodded, "Thank you for your cooperation, please have a good rest, Earl Morrison."

When they came to the corridor, Niobe asked, "What's the matter? I've already said that Delise has absolutely no intention of favoring the Survey Corps."

"Mrs. Sterling, did you teach her to say that?" a central military policeman questioned.

"Are you doubting the loyalty of our Sterling family to the royal family?" Niobe retorted righteously.

The two gendarmes looked at each other, "Of course we don't doubt your loyalty, but according to the records we asked her about the same period, she voluntarily joined the Survey Corps. If she knew the truth about her parents being killed, then it is hard to guarantee that she would not tell her parents Same as treason against the royal family."

Niobe assured them: "Don't worry, we will take good care of her. Even if she has a different heart, I will never let her do anything that endangers the royal family."

"Yes. We believe in the abilities of the Sterling family."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Niobe watched the two central gendarmes go away, and turned to look at Daier's door suspiciously.

If the Central Gendarmerie decides that Dai'er will betray the royal family, she will soon end up like her parents.In this way, Niobe's painstaking efforts over the years will be in vain, and the property of the Morrison family will return to Vanessa's hands again.In addition, Dier had categorically stated before that she would not let her get involved in her family's property, Niobe was really afraid that Dier's head would be caught by the fish.This is why she has been trying her best to prevent the Central Gendarmerie from meeting Daier.

But fortunately, this hurdle was barely passed.

"Madam." A maid came to Niobe and handed out an invitation card with both hands, "Duke Russell invites you and the young master to the capital tomorrow."

Niobe glanced at the invitation coldly, "Understood."

Although she learned that Vanessa had done something she couldn't let go of, Dale finally decided to trust Vanessa, took the three pieces of advice from the note she left by heart and burned them.

The reason why she answered the question like that just now was completely following Vanessa's suggestion: first, if you want to survive, you must forget what happened on the night of your parents' death, and draw a clear line with the Survey Corps and Captain Levi.You can state the facts, but change the motive to be persecuted.

Just looking at the first article, Dai'er has to admire Vanessa's thoughtfulness. The same thing, but with different motives, has a completely different nature.Motives are hard to verify. Even if others answer differently from her, as the person involved, her statement may not dispel the doubts of others, but as long as she does not do something out of line, the Central Military Police can't do anything to her.

Daier did as Vanessa said, and the other party seemed to get a satisfactory answer. It seemed that she passed the first hurdle smoothly.But after thinking about it, Vanessa asked her not to tell what happened that night. Does this indirectly mean that Vanessa may know the truth about the murder of her parents, and it was the Central Gendarmerie that killed her parents? ?If I gave the wrong answer just now, will I 'accidentally die' one day later?

"Sure enough..." Dai'er scratched her head helplessly. The struggle between the rich and powerful was too deep for a 'simple' person like her.Perhaps the reason why Vanessa didn't reveal her identity was because she expected that one day she would accept such interrogation, and she didn't want to put her in danger.

She said it was for herself, but it was actually an excuse for Vanessa to hide her concern for her.Del felt that sometimes Vanessa was just as dishonest as Levi.

Next to the bustling streets of Wangdu, a high-end restaurant that was originally overcrowded is now deserted, but it's not that it's not open for business, but that it's been booked out.

On the terrace of the restaurant, Senator Russell invited Niobe and Icarus to have lunch together.Among the three, only Icarus had a good appetite, and the knife and fork in his hand kept cutting the tender and juicy steak.As for Niobe and Russell, they held the cutlery absent-mindedly and looked at each other warily, trying to figure out what the other was thinking.

"Mrs. Sterling, through the last cooperation, I think our conflicts can be put aside for the time being." Russell said.

"There is such a good thing, why don't you come personally, Duke Russell?"

"I'm old, and it's time to give young people a chance to show off." Representative Russell turned his head to look at Icarus, "Last time you forced the Survey Corps to be powerless to resist, which is no small credit."

"Uncle Russell, you're flattering me." Icarus said modestly, actually quite proud of himself.

"If it weren't for that piece of 'evidence', I'm afraid Icarus alone would not be able to turn the situation around." Niobe habitually covered his mouth with a fan, "My lord duke, it's hard for us to trust you by crossing rivers and tearing down bridges like that."

"I don't need your trust. Everything is to help His Majesty the King build our 'Paradise'. Therefore, whoever is more capable of doing this will be my partner."

Then, Senator Russell detailed the next plan.

After listening to Congressman Russell's explanation, Niobe thought about it carefully, "The key to this plan is to employ people properly. I wonder if Duke Russell has a suitable candidate?"

"Given your suspicion of me, do you dare to use the person I recommended?" Russell drank his red tea, "Since the Sterling family initiated the suppression of the survey corps, the Sterling family will naturally be selected as well." Let's decide."

"This is not a small problem." Niobe also sipped his black tea lightly, thinking that Russell, an old fox, actually threw the most difficult problem to them.But it doesn't matter, as long as the plan is successful, the Sterling family will become the leader of the opposition to the Survey Corps in one fell swoop, and if it goes well, they can get a seat in the parliament and have more say.Only in this way can the thankless task like 'providing three-dimensional mobile devices' be avoided as much as possible.

Icarus quietly listened to Niobe and Russell discussing the plan against the Survey Corps, but the more he listened, the more he couldn't understand, "Why 'suppress' the Survey Corps? Shouldn't these weirdos be disbanded directly? "

Russell smiled, "Inside this wall, everyone has their own role to play. And what the Survey Corps plays is the losers who can't defeat the giant and take their own humiliation. Without their tragedies, those who hide in the The guys who are ready to move in the dark will not be deterred and will stop, and will plant hidden dangers in the 'paradise' built by the king."

"If this is the case, why target them? Wouldn't it be better to let them go outside to die?"

"The problem now is that the Survey Corps seems to have deviated from their original role, so we need to find ways to suppress them." Niobe said to Icarus.

Icarus suddenly realized, "I understand." But new doubts popped up again, "But what about those who support the Survey Corps?"

"This is to prevent us from disbanding the survey corps by accident. It is also to prevent the 'hungry wolves from counterattacking'. As long as there are forces supporting the survey corps, they will not Pushed to a desperate situation and making waves. But it does not rule out that some people join their camp for their own interests." Congressman Russell continued to explain.

Icarus thought about it seriously, but he didn't expect the relationship between them to be so intricate.

"I caught you! How dare you steal something from me!"

"I didn't steal it! Don't frame good people!"

"Didn't steal it? Do you dare to let me search your body?"

"I didn't steal anything, why should I ask you to search me?"

A quarrel in the street downstairs interrupted Icarus's train of thought. He looked down and saw a young man in a hat was tearing apart with a middle-aged man in a suit.

"Since you don't want me to search you, follow me to the Gendarmerie and let the Gendarmerie do the search!"

"The wallet must still be on you, you thief shouting "stop thief!" The young man suddenly threw the middle-aged man down, and secretly stuffed the wallet back.Then he fumbled around pretendingly, and took out the wallet from the middle-aged man's pocket, "Isn't this your wallet? How dare you frame me?"

The middle-aged man was furious, "You must have put it back on purpose just now!"

"Do you have any evidence?" The young man picked up the hat that fell just now, put it back on his head, and shouted confidently.

"You..." The middle-aged uncle is not easy to provoke, "You have the guts to go to the Gendarmerie with me. With your skill, you must be a repeat offender!"

Just when the young people felt guilty, Icarus came to them, "Stop arguing, it is indeed a misunderstanding." He said to the middle-aged man: "If you have any losses, I am willing to pay ten times more." compensation."

The middle-aged man saw that Icarus's identity was not simple, so he just snorted, "You're lucky, kid." Then he walked away.

The young man in the hat also turned to leave, but Icarus said, "I can see clearly from above, you did put your wallet back."

The young man stopped in his tracks, his palms were sweaty, he turned around and asked, "What do you want?"

"I want to negotiate a deal with you."

"why me?"

"Because you can lie without changing your face in that situation. I admire your ability."

The young man laughed at himself, "Hehe, what if I don't want to?"

"There are two roads in front of you now." Icarus pointed to the reserved restaurant and said, "One is to go up with me to enjoy a good meal." Then he pointed to the distance of the block, "The other one, I will take You go to the gendarmerie and enjoy a meal
