Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Feet climbed out of the window.She explored step by step in the dark, and every time she passed a window, she had to carefully poke her head in case there was someone inside.

In the garden below, several servants passed by with lamps, but due to the strong wind, they all huddled together, carefully protecting the lamps, without looking up.When Dai'er heard the movement below, she immediately stopped moving, and lay motionless on the wall like a gecko, until those people passed by before continuing to stick her feet out.

A thin layer of sweat broke out from the palms of the palms and the soles of the feet. Dai'er wiped her palms on her body to prevent slipping.After finally coming to the window of the study, Dai'er took out a slender silver wire broken off from the jewelry, and tied a loop at one end of the silver wire.Digging the coil deep into the gap in the window, Dill intends to hook the deadbolt and pull it up.But it was too dark, and she couldn't align for a while.

The sudden opening of the study door alarmed Daier, she pulled out the silver thread the moment the room was lit, and hid against the window frame.

"Why are people here at this time?" Dai'er cursed in her heart, hoping that those who entered the study room would return as soon as they went.

At this time, through the glass, Dai'er vaguely heard the two voices she particularly hated talking.

"Master, this is the study room..."

"What's wrong with the study, isn't it my home?"

"In case Madam finds out..."

"Who asked her to ask me to marry that girl? Regardless of whether she is a nobleman or not, she has been brainwashed by the investigation corps long ago, and she will never be loyal to the royal family again. I don't know what my mother thinks."

……

On the night of the engagement, she even had a private meeting with her lover's maid in the study. Del felt that Icarus was really rebellious, and he would do whatever his mother didn't let him do.

Being so willful and stubborn, Dai'er inexplicably thought of her past behavior of running away from home in order to join the investigation corps, she shook her head and sighed gently, was she also such an annoying existence back then?I always feel that Levi was kind enough not to break her leg back then.

Gradually, Dai'er heard indescribable panting sounds from the study, knowing that they would not come out for a while.The longer you wait outside, the greater the risk of exposure. Moreover, after maintaining the same posture for a long time, Dai'er not only felt numb in her hands and feet, but also began to ache in her waist.

Since the injury, his physical fitness seems to be far worse than before.Helpless, this infiltration operation had to be abandoned first.Perhaps due to excessive physical exertion and the need to climb up, Daier felt that the return journey was much more strenuous than the outbound journey.A gust of wind blew, and her hands and feet trembled slightly from the cold. Dai'er was afraid that she would accidentally slip and fall, and that would really be the end of the game.

After struggling to get back to her room, Dai'er didn't dare to step on the floor directly, but stepped on the overlong trouser legs and moved carefully to the side of the bed.The building looks nothing from a distance, but it is actually covered with dust when viewed up close. The whole body is already dirty after walking down by myself. If there are footprints on the clean ground, the maid will probably see the clues.

Putting on her nightgown again, wiping her hands and feet, and hiding her dirty clothes under the mattress again, Daile lay back on the bed exhausted.She now truly feels that the skills and habits she cultivated in the underground mall are finally coming in handy.

The next morning, there was a heated argument in the study.The servants all exited the room and stood neatly outside the door, shivering.

"Mother, how can you do this? Announce my wedding date without my knowledge!"

"Do you know how much suspicion your actions aroused last night?" Niobe said angrily, "I excused you last night in the name of taking care of Delise, but correspondingly, for the sake of the family For your own interests, stop those gossips, next month, you must complete the wedding with Delise."

Icarus held his breath, and Dale's ridicule suddenly sounded in his mind: You are the Earl of Sterling, why can't you even decide your own marriage...

He gritted his teeth and looked at his aloof mother, thinking that if there was a direct conflict at this time, he might never see Anna again, so he could only swallow his anger and slam the door away.

At the same time, Howard came to visit Dai'er, because she was helped back to the room shortly after she attended the engagement banquet last night, and he was a little worried about her physical condition.

"I didn't expect the sequelae to be so serious. You have to rest well during this period, and you will not have the energy to complete the wedding until your 16th birthday."

"What did you say?" Dale asked in surprise.

Howard frowned strangely, "Didn't Mrs. Sterling tell you in advance? Last night she announced that you and Icarus would be married next month. I thought you already knew."

Dai'er was in a daze, she was only engaged yesterday, why did she announce her marriage immediately?And even the date was fixed without discussing it with her.She was treated like this before she got married, so one can imagine what will happen to her after she actually gets married.

"Daier, are you alright?" Howard knelt down and asked with concern.

Dill was pale, her eyes wide open in terror, unable to focus.But soon, she barely returned to normal, "Maybe I misremembered the date. I didn't expect it to be so fast." She said in a weak voice.

Seeing Dill's state, Howard asked hesitantly, "Do you want to notify Captain Levi?"

As soon as she clenched her hands, Dai'er shook her head resolutely, "What to tell him? Didn't I cut off contact with the survey corps a long time ago?"

Holding her forehead, Dai'er shook her head with a blank mind. Didn't she agree to wait for her burnt-down house to be repaired before discussing marriage?She dismissed Howard in a hurry, and turned the wheelchair vigorously to ask Niobe for clarification.

Just after losing her temper with Icarus, before Niobe's mood calmed down, Dier came to the door and asked angrily, "Why did you do this? Didn't you agree to hold the wedding after my house is rebuilt?" ?"

Niobe was in a fit of anger, and regardless of her affection and the elegance and reserve of a noble lady, she said bluntly to Dier: "Your house will not be completed in three to five years. You think I don't know that you are procrastinating?" Is it time?" She bent down and put her hands on the armrests of Dill's wheelchair, like a hungry lion greedily staring at her prey, "I'm going to settle the property of the Morrison family, if you don't agree, I can immediately Attacking the Survey Corps, giving them too much time."

"You..." Dai'er didn't dare to take risks, she saw that Niobe was already preparing for the next plot, and if she agreed to get married, she would not take any action for the time being.We must hurry up and find a way to find out whether there is any evidence of the crime that Vanessa said in the study.

But things didn't go as expected, and Daier found that the weather in the next few days would be fine and the moon would be shining brightly, so that the guards in the garden could see all around clearly even without a lamp.If I climb the window from the outer wall again, as long as there is a slight movement, the patrolling people will look up and "take her all the stolen goods".

In theory, now is the time to prepare for the next extramural survey, but since funding has not been forthcoming, there is nothing they can do other than daily training.The senior officials of the Investigation Corps have conducted detailed investigations on each member of the Corps for several months, but still have not found the suspect.

This time, the opinion of the parliament to abolish the Survey Corps is unprecedentedly united. If the guy who stole the noble jewelry cannot be found, the investigation outside the wall will be postponed indefinitely, and the existence value of the Survey Corps will be gradually deprived.

In the afternoon, Erwin and Levi drank tea in the head's office, discussing how to make the council let go.If the thief could not be found, then Vanessa would really have to be sacrificed.

At this moment, a soldier hurried into the commander's office, "Captain Erwin, is Captain Levi there?"

"Tsk...why do you act like you can't find the toilet?" Levi frowned and asked.

The soldier saluted and took out a letter from his coat pocket, "Soldier, this is a letter from a nobleman, saying that you are invited to the wedding."

The tea almost poured out of the cup, Levi put down the cup heavily and strode up to the soldier, ignoring that the soldier's legs were weak from the pressure of his walking towards him, he snatched it from his hand letter, the envelope was roughly torn open.

"You go down first." Erwin said to the frightened soldiers.

After reading the contents of the letter, Levi left Erwin and ran to Vanessa before he could ask.

Today it was Vanessa and Petra's turn to be on duty. They were cleaning the rest area of ​​the training ground when they saw the black-faced Levi coming towards them, "Vanessa, come with me." trip."

To be honest, seeing Levi's obvious anger, Vanessa really didn't want to follow.Looking at Petra as if she was dead, Vanessa could only bite the bullet and follow Levi away.

"Didn't you say you taught Del how to delay the wedding?" Levi pushed Vanessa to the corner and grabbed the crumpled invitation, "What the hell is going on?"

Vanessa carefully took the invitation and looked at it, took a breath, she didn't expect Niobe to attack so quickly, she just didn't care about Dai'er's feelings, and even didn't care about Icarus' willingness or not.

"It's okay, Icarus has no interest in Dai'er, and he is still in the rebellious stage, he will never obey her mother's order, and will not do anything to Dai'er." Vanessa said confidently that she only had If you are seventy percent sure.

"But even so, does this mean that the Sterlings will annex the Morrisons property from now on, right?" Levi asked.

Vanessa nodded.

"With that wealth, they will be able to persuade those pigs in the parliament to abolish the Survey Corps,
