Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

In the empty hall, facing the huge glass windows, there was nothing outside, it was pitch black, as if it was tightly shrouded by a huge iron curtain, unable to reveal a ray of light.

Dill returned to the room when Sterling's mother and son were arguing with each other and didn't notice her. She lay down in the arms of the teddy bear that Howard gave her. Himself, so that Dai'er is not so afraid.It was the first time that he got so close to the murderer who killed his parents, and even saw him kill with his own eyes.Dai'er couldn't help but imagine how her mother died back then.

The tears couldn't stop flowing, and I couldn't wipe them dry.

Looking back, Del realizes that she and Levi haven't seen each other since that prom, and haven't heard from each other.She missed her brother very much, especially when she met today's scene, out of the instinct of self-protection, she missed him even more.

Stuffing her head into the teddy bear's arms, Del curled up like a homeless kitten.

The dazzling white light woke up Dai'er, and when she opened her eyes, a piece of light blue sky was reflected in her clear eyes, and the breeze brought the fragrance of green grass.Dai'er is a little strange, the sun is shining brightly, why doesn't she feel hot?

"Brat, finally woke up?" Levi said in a disgusted tone with his head down.

"Brother?" Dai'er was a little confused, "Where are we?"

Levi rubbed the hair on the top of Dier's head, "Are you stupid to fall asleep so soon? It seems that you are usually too lax."

Dai'er supported her body and sat up. There was a mirror-like lake in the distance, and she vaguely saw a few hazy figures playing by the lake. Although they couldn't see clearly, they should be companions of the investigation corps.

Are they on an outing?

Turning around, Del realized that she and Levi were sitting on the grass, and she had just fallen asleep with her head on Levi's lap.

A drop of warm water bloomed on the back of her hand, and Dai'er raised her head in doubt, "Is it raining?"

"Deer..." Levi looked at her worriedly, "Why are you crying?"

"Huh?" Dai'er wiped her eyelids, and there was a drop of crystal clear water on her finger.More and more drops of water fell from the sockets of the eyes. Dai'er covered her eyes and couldn't stop, and said anxiously: "I don't know why, just now, it seems that I had a terrible dream..."

"Tsk..." Levi handed Dier a handkerchief, "Cry if you want to cry, cheer me up after crying."

Taking the handkerchief, Dai'er couldn't help hugging Levi tightly, because the speed was too fast, and accidentally threw Levi on his back on the grass.

Del buried her head in Levi's shoulder, tears streaming down her bank.Along with the tears, there were also some 'inexplicable' words: "I'm sorry, I will never disobey you again, I promise you, I will not run away from home, join the training army, or join the survey corps. Don't look for any evidence, just stay in a safe place and wait for you to come back...so brother, don't leave me..."

"Say something stupid again..." Levi looked at the sky, and gently patted Del's back to soothe her sad sobs.

Tired of crying, Dai'er woke up in a warm embrace, the sky turned fishy white, she looked around blankly, she was still in that exquisite cage, the only real thing was tears that never dried up, holding her doll The bear's stomach was soaked in a large area.

Unable to believe that she actually sat on the ground all night, Dai'er dragged her tired body back to the bed. It would be great if the dream just now could continue indefinitely...

Emma, ​​who came to wake up Dale in the morning, saw her lying on the bed with tears all over her face, thinking that she might also be frightened, so she didn't bother her and let her continue to rest.

Levi sat up suddenly and rubbed his temples with a headache. He was going to investigate outside the wall in a few days, and the preparations were quite hasty, and his sleep time was drastically compressed by the hard work of the past few days.Originally, I just wanted to lie on the sofa in the office and close my eyes for a while, but when I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

In other words, it seemed to be a dream just now, and the specific content was almost lost when I was awake. I only vaguely remembered that Dai'er threw herself into his arms like a little ghost and cried loudly, confessing her wayward behavior to him tearfully, saying that in the future Will definitely listen to him...

Dier's voice seemed to still be in his ears, Levi stood up regardless of his fatigue, and continued the preparations for the investigation outside the wall.According to the plan, the return of the extraterrestrial survey corps will be the time of the 'decisive battle' with the Sterling family. As long as Dai'er can escape their control, she will be able to live the life she once dreamed of.He didn't expect Dai'er to help them, as long as she could live well away from the giant and struggle.

When she woke up again, there was a loud noise from the garden, and Dai Er rubbed her eyes in a daze, her hair was messed up, and she went to the window to watch.I saw Niobe leaving the mansion with a large group of servants.

"Miss, are you awake?" Emma pushed the door open and came in, seeing Dai'er standing by the window clutching the curtain in a trance.

Dai'er turned her head slowly, returned to the bed and sat on the side of the bed with pauses, and asked weakly: "What happened?"

Emma quickly helped Dai'er wash and comb her hair, "Master took two followers to hunt in the nearby woods in the morning, but while they were resting, the master shot and killed their horse and threw them away." She Sighing softly, "I don't know if the young master will encounter any danger, I hope the madam can find the young master in time."

running away (2)

An earl is missing. In theory, the Gendarmerie must be notified to assist in the search. However, Icarus ran away from home just after the scandal of the Sterling family was reported. If others find out, the Sterling family will become someone else. Niobe will never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, she deployed most of the servants in the family to secretly search for the whereabouts of Icarus.Some people returned to the woods to trace Icarus' escape route, some went to nearby towns and villages, and she took some people to the capital.Since Icarus was born, apart from his own territory and a few other noble residences, he has only been to the royal capital and surrounding towns. She bet that Icarus only had those few places to go.

As Niobe expected, Icarus rode his horse all the way south, and came to a prosperous town according to the route he remembered. developed.

Seeing someone boarding the boat with luggage at the pier, Icarus led the horse and walked over.

"Hey, don't you want to take the boat with you?" The person in charge of the dock stopped him.Since Icarus is now only dressed as a hunter, others can't see that he is a nobleman, they just think that he is well-dressed and may be richer, so his tone is not very respectful.

It was the first time that Icarus was stopped by someone who was inferior to him like this. He just wanted to yell at him, but when he thought that he had run away from home, he couldn't reveal his identity before he had gone far, so he held back and didn't explode.He threw off the rein, "Then I can go on the boat without a horse, right?"

"But you need to buy a ticket first to get on the boat." The person in charge of the pier said, waving banknotes in front of Icarus.

Icarus subconsciously wanted to go back and ask the deacon to pay, but suddenly remembered that he had dumped him earlier, and he didn't seem to have any money with him.He said loudly with a little embarrassment: "I gave you the horse. This horse is worth a lot of money."

It was the first time that the person in charge of the pier had heard that it was possible to buy tickets like this, but he had been working in the pier for a long time, and the person in charge could be considered well-informed, and he could tell that the horse was a rare breed.Taking another look at Icarus, he didn't even bring any money with him when he went out. He was probably a prodigal who didn't know much about the world.Since he gave him such a valuable horse, he would be disrespectful.

"Okay, I've accepted your horse, so I'll treat you as an invitation to take this boat. Where are you going?"

"The Royal Capital."

"You can't bring a gun to the capital, why don't you store the gun here first, and come back to get it later?"

"Why are you so annoying?" Icarus took off the gun on his back, "I gave you this too."

The person in charge of the dock took the gun with both hands and looked at it carefully. It felt heavy in his hand. The quality of this shotgun was even better than the shotguns of the Gendarmerie.This guy is indeed a rich young man who doesn't understand the sufferings of the world.

"Please hurry up, the boat is about to sail." The person in charge of the pier suddenly became polite, and made a 'please' gesture in a serious manner.

"Hmph..." Icarus flicked his sleeves and got on the boat, sitting in an inconspicuous corner.

During the few hours to the capital, Icarus felt that his butt was suffering. There was not even a cushion on this kind of civilian boat, and the hard wooden benches made his waist sore.

After finally arriving at the capital, Icarus got off the boat and faced the crowded streets, Icarus lost his way.He remembered that he had been to a relative's house in the capital, and walked for a long time based on his impression, but he still couldn't find the right way.

The sunset glowed the sky, and the workers lit up the street lamps one by one. After a day of tossing, Icarus' stomach let out an unsatisfactory cry.Now, he only needs to go to the Gendarmerie to disclose his identity to be able to return home safely, but he is not convinced, he believes that he can survive with his own ability.

However, it was completely dark, and the pedestrians on the street gradually became rare. Icarus still couldn't find the relative's house, but he couldn't bear to ask passers-by for help. Finally, he was tired from walking and could only squat On the stone steps beside the street, he cursed the injustice of the world fiercely in his heart.

Absconding (1)

Niobe left with most of the servants, and there were far fewer guards patrolling the garden
