Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

They came to the banquet one after another, and it was even more lively than the engagement banquet last month.But as one of the "protagonists", Dai'er made a symbolic appearance and returned to her room. After all, she was "frail and sickly", and the other guests knew it well and did not force her.

Although Icarus stayed at the venue, he was repelled by being forced to get married. He kept smiling while greeting the guests, which made people feel particularly awkward.

After returning to the room, Dai'er was thinking whether to go to the study now, but she turned her head to see the weather outside. The moon was in the sky, the sky was cloudless, and the sea was calm, so she couldn't climb the outer wall covertly.Going to the window and looking down, there are even more people coming and going in the garden. Some people who don't want to be in the banquet hall have come out for a walk, and there are even some men and women who behave intimately...

Helpless, Dai'er lay back on the bed, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes for some reason.Covering her eyes with her arms, the memory went back to before and after the annual vacation, how she now wished Levi could touch her head again and tell her: "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

"Brother, I want to go home..." Dai'er turned over and hugged the quilt and sobbed quietly.She felt that she was really tired. She didn't want to be someone else's pawn anymore, and she didn't want to care whether the property of the Morrison family would be annexed. She didn't want to care about the threats facing the Survey Corps in the future. You can go back to the past, even if it's just half a year ago.

The lively wedding banquet didn't come to an end until early in the morning. The nobles who came came out of the Stirling family's mansion one after another, waiting for their own carriage to pick them up.Among these people are Senator Russell and his son Crick.Russell's face still maintained the joy of attending the banquet, but there was a little more anxiety in Crick's smile.

"Are you still thinking about Dolores?"

Facing his father's question, Crick nodded silently.

"On the surface, it seems that Niobe has the upper hand, but..." Councilor Russell didn't say any more, but raised the corners of his mouth unfathomably.While walking on the stone road leading to the gate, he inadvertently looked back at the big house of Sterling's family, and happened to catch a glimpse of an 'interesting' thing.

Congressman Russell quickly turned around, "Why don't we help Dolores?"

"Ah?" Crick didn't understand, so he looked in the direction his father was looking at just now, and he immediately understood, and turned around immediately like his father, as if he didn't see anything.

Icarus, who had just finished seeing off the guests, passed by the corridor window with his arms around Anna, his face full of exhaustion and displeasure.

"Master, do you really want to stay in the study tonight?"

"Otherwise?" Icarus hooked Anna's chin with his finger.

Anna twisted her body, lowered her head shyly and leaned on Icarus' shoulder, "But, ma'am... I'm worried about what will happen to us in the future."

Icarus gritted his teeth and said, "I will find a way. Since Dolores joined the Survey Corps, they didn't say anything. I just got closer to my maid. What can they do? Wait patiently." , when I grasp the real power of the family, we will be able to be together justifiably." While speaking, Icarus glanced out the window and witnessed the Russell family's carriage driving out of the gate.

Surrender (1)

Erwin and Levi had just returned to the headquarters of the regiment, and as soon as they entered the office, Hanji stood up from the commander's seat, "You guys are back, are things going well?"

"Although the president promised to have the Gendarmerie conduct a thorough investigation, the top priority is to find out who stole the noble jewelry in the castle and sold it as soon as possible." Erwin sat back to the head of the regiment with a serious face.

"But everyone in the survey corps is our comrade-in-arms through life and death. I don't believe that bastard will be one of them. It must be the nobleman named Sterling who lied." Han Ji rolled up his sleeves, "Just put those things Give it to me for testing, and I'm sure I can find evidence that those things are forged."

Erwin shook his head, "Those jewelry have been inspected by the owner, and they are undoubtedly belongings of their family. If it is forged, it is impossible to even have the same font as the words engraved on it. If it is not possible, I can only find a trustworthy one like last time." Someone who takes this responsibility."

"Erwin, who are you going to find this person? Regardless of whether he is willing or not, the crime of stealing a noble's private property and selling it is not a light crime, and I am afraid that he will be pushed out to take the blame..." Han Ji did not continue.

"I think we just have a suitable candidate here, it's just..." Erwin's thick eyebrows were almost tied into a knot.

Levi already understood who Erwin was thinking of as the 'blame man', so he couldn't help frowning.Han Ji looked at the 'God Synchronization' of the two of them, and wondered: "Is there something very important that you guys are hiding from me?"

"Hanji, can I discuss it with Levi first?" Erwin said tactfully.

"Okay, I'll go, you guys talk slowly." Han Ji closed the door from the outside angrily. In the past, Erwin and Levi basically wouldn't hide anything from her. Why did they behave this time? It's so abnormal, is there something she can't know?

"Captain Han Ji." Vanessa walked towards Han Ji and saluted Han Ji.

Hanji immediately came out of the negative emotions, "Yo, it's you. Come to find Erwin?"

"Yes." Vanessa nodded, "There is something very important."

"Levi is talking to Erwin about something, it seems I'll trouble you to wait."

"Really?" Vanessa not only didn't feel that she came at the wrong time, but also smiled and said, "That's just right."

"What?" Han Ji turned around, and Vanessa had already knocked on the door and entered the head's office.

"Heh..." Han Ji pushed his glasses, "This little girl is not simple."

Seeing Vanessa coming, both Erwin and Levi looked at her with a look of wanting to 'sorry' her.Vanessa had a hunch what they wanted to do, but to be on the safe side, she asked first: "Is there a way to prevent the investigation outside the wall from being postponed indefinitely?"

"There is exactly one," Erwin replied.

"Have you found the thief, or is there any other evidence to prove that it wasn't done by the Survey Corps?"

"Neither." Erwin denied.

Vanessa sighed, "You don't want me to take the blame, do you?"

Erwin admired Vanessa's tact, "This is the safest way at present. You are a nobleman, so the Gendarmerie won't embarrass you."

"Do you think so too? Captain Levi." Vanessa asked Levi who was standing obliquely in front.

Levi didn't answer Vanessa's question directly, but instead asked Erwin: "Is there really no other way?"

Erwin didn't answer Levi directly, but continued to stare at Vanessa, "I'm not forcing you, it's all up to you voluntarily. If the Survey Corps is disbanded because of this, it won't do you any good."

Vanessa covered her mouth and chuckled twice, "Captain Erwin, thank you. Your attitude made most of the guilt in my heart disappear at once."

Under the gaze of Erwin and Levi, Vanessa took out a pair of amethyst earrings from the pocket of the corps coat and put them on the desk, "You don't need to feel embarrassed, because I really took the things."

Surrender (2)

The three people in the office fell into silence, neither Erwin nor Levi, they couldn't believe that the thief was really Vanessa!Especially Levi, he originally wanted to prevent Erwin from letting Vanessa take the blame, but he slapped his face.

"Hey!" Levi grabbed Vanessa's arm firmly, "So all this is a play played by you and your family? In order to disband the investigation team, you even took part in three extramural investigations. "

The arm hurt from Levi's grasp, as if he wanted to crush her bones too.But Vanessa endured it silently and did not intend to resist. After all, she put the Survey Corps in a dangerous situation for her own sake.However, disbanding the Survey Corps was not in her plan from the very beginning, especially after she learned the 'truth'.

Seeing Vanessa's painful expression, Erwin reminded Levi, "Let go first. If she is really an enemy of the Survey Corps, it would be wisest to do nothing now." Then, he asked Vanessa : "Surely you didn't do this to beg our forgiveness, did you?"

"That's right. Didn't you say you want to help me regain the inheritance of the Sterling family? Those jewelry are my bait." Vanessa narrowed her eyes, "They've already taken the bait."

Erwin smiled, this time it was finally Vanessa's turn to give orders, "Miss Sterling, how can we cooperate with your plan."

Vanessa looked directly into Erwin's eyes, "Captain, do you still remember the conditions you promised me?"

"of course I remember."

"First, declare to the outside world that due to the receipt of an anonymous report letter, the evidence found during the search of my items."

Erwin said, "No problem."

"Then, just do business and don't announce that I am a nobleman." Vanessa finished her request calmly, and then quietly observed the reactions of Erwin and Levi.

Sure enough, they all showed shocked expressions.Levi asked, "Do you know what that means?"

Vanessa's eyes flickered, she bit her lip, and said softly but firmly, "I know."

Levi glanced at Erwin with complicated emotions, and Erwin nodded in acquiescence.Although he couldn't understand Vanessa's actions for a while, finding the prisoner now undoubtedly gave the investigative corps a breakthrough.

The quiet night was broken by a massive surprise inspection. The soldiers fell into a dilemma due to the delay in resuming the investigation outside the wall, but they were attracted by the lively movement outside and rushed to
