Attack on Titan's Silent Watch

Knowing that it was Dai'er playing tricks, Emma specially told the servants outside to keep a close watch on the door when she went out.

But when she returned to the bathroom, Emma found that Dier was still there. She felt that she was worrying too much, so she didn't ask how the ring fell off. She only helped Dier take off the outermost dress and reminded her to pay attention next time.

After the dress and bustle were taken off, Dai'er was only wearing the innermost layer of unlined clothing and a tunic, and her body suddenly became much lighter.

"You go out first."

"Yes." Emma walked out of the bathroom and guarded the door to prevent others from entering.

Dai'er was the only one left in the bathroom. She picked up the chair, put the back of the chair against the door, kicked off the high heels under her feet, pulled off the hair accessories on her head, and let her black hair spread freely.Immediately, she opened the bag, took out a hair rope and tied her hair up briefly, and then cut the clothesline of the tunic with a jackknife.

"Huh~" Dai'er felt that she could finally catch her breath normally.Putting on the rough shirt and trousers she stole from the Stirlings, and a pair of simple flat shoes, Dill moved another chair and stood on it, lifted the cover of the vent, and climbed up with her load on her back. went in.

The ventilation duct was full of dust, and it was very narrow. Daier moved forward slowly like an earthworm for a while before seeing the exit.Dai Er didn't go out immediately, because there would be guards patrolling outside.After waiting patiently for a while, after the patrolling guards passed by, Daier immediately pushed open the other cover of the vent and got out from inside.

Emma and Niobe's confidants waited outside for 10 minutes without hearing Dale tell them to come in. Feeling something was wrong, they kept knocking on the door and shouting.Seeing that the door could not be pushed open, the hotel security rushed over and kicked the door open.Everyone went in and saw that Dai'er's jewelry and clothes were all over the floor, but no one was there.

When they discovered that Dill was missing, Dill had already broken open the back door of the hotel and fled.Running crazily on the deserted streets, with the cool evening wind blowing in front of her face, the stars in the sky were blinking happily at her. This was probably the closest Daier was to 'freedom'.

Absconding (4)

In fact, it was not easy to escape. Niobe's confidants immediately led others to chase after seeing Dai'er escaping from the ventilation duct.But for the sake of the Sterling family's face, the commotion in the bathroom did not reach the ears of the nobles in the banquet hall, and the luxurious atmosphere continued.

On a quiet night, the footsteps of the people chasing and blocking her were very clear. Dai'er lowered her head all the way, looking for something by the moonlight, but in the end she really found it, and that was the entrance to the sewer.She knew that the sewers were dirty and smelly, but in order to regain her freedom, she fought hard.Squatting on the ground, Dai'er grasped the horizontal manhole cover with both hands and lifted it up vigorously.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Dai'er turned her head to look in the direction where the voice came from, 'Oh no, I was discovered. '

In the dark, Dai'er grabbed the manhole cover she had removed and threw it at the passer-by, but the opponent's skill was also good, and he directly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and her hand stopped in mid-air and could not continue to go down.Then the opponent suddenly overthrew her under the moonlight.

Several people who looked like bodyguards ran over and saw a young man reeking of alcohol standing at the intersection ahead, so they stopped and asked, "Did you see anyone?"

"There was a skinny guy who ran over there just now." The man pointed diagonally forward.

"Thank you."

After the sound of chaotic footsteps disappeared, Daier came out from the shadow of the building on the other side, "Thank you."

"It's okay." Benson turned his head, "Didn't you become an earl? Why are you dressed like a beggar now?"

Dai'er looked down at the clothes on her body, not only old, wrinkled and torn, but also covered with black dust stripes.It feels like Levi sees her like this, and will definitely throw her into the trash can as trash.She shrugged, "Can you give me a normal dress?"

Benson took Dai'er to an unremarkable small hotel, and the hotel owner recognized Benson at a glance, "Young man, are you bringing your friend here again?"

"Yes."

The boss took a step and glanced at Dai'er behind Benson, "You know so many people. The rich young master and the poor beggar are all your friends."

Benson urged unnaturally: "Hurry up, my friend just accidentally stepped on the air and fell down."

"Okay, okay." The boss took the money and picked up a pen to register. He asked Dai'er, "What's your name?"

"Daisy Murray."

"Yes." The boss gave Benson the key to the house.

Benson looked back at Dai'er meaningfully. She was running for her life, so of course she couldn't use her real name.After leading Dai'er to the guest room upstairs and settling down, Benson asked, "I'll go back and get you my clothes. Is there anything else I need to bring?"

"The cloak, the money, and the best three-dimensional mobile device." Dai'er said while snapping her fingers.

"You really know how to push an inch." Benson complained and went out.

Dai'er locked the door, took out her baggage, and looked at the ledger in her hands with complicated emotions. Is it really worth sacrificing Benson's family in order to bring down the Sterling family?If she really did this, Benson probably wouldn't forgive her, but she still asked him for things as a matter of course, she was really bad.Is it the kind of person she is, or is it a personality that has only been cultivated in the past few months?

An hour later, Benson came back with a large box of things. Daile took a shower and changed into Benson's clothes, but she was too short, so her sleeves and trousers had to be rolled up.

"Actually, it's okay for you to wear men's clothes." Benson teased.

"I wore my brother's clothes and they were just right except for the width of the shoulders."

When the word 'brother' was mentioned, Benson couldn't hide his disappointment, "Your brother is Captain Levi, right? That's great..."

Dai'er saw the sadness in Benson's eyes, and smelled the alcohol on his body, and vaguely felt that he seemed to be in trouble, so she sat down slowly and asked, "Has anything happened recently?"

"I killed an enemy."

After returning to the capital, Benson's mood has been very low. His colleagues advised him to go out for a walk on his rest day, maybe he would feel better.It happened to be a rest day a few days ago. Benson obeyed the advice and wandered in the street. He walked all the way to the dark without knowing it. At this time, he was attracted by Icarus who was sitting on the side of the street hungry.

Out of a soldier's instinct, he stepped forward and asked, "I'm a soldier, can I help you with anything?"

Icarus glanced at Benson in disbelief, "Are you a soldier? Why don't you wear a uniform?"

Benson rubbed the back of his head, "Today is my vacation."

"That's right." Seeing that Benson was quite honest, Icarus slanted the corner of his mouth, "You, take me to eat something, and then help me find a place to live."

"Uh... why don't you go back to the Gendarmerie with me first."

"No! I said that if you take me to the hotel to eat, you must come!"

Benson felt baffled. Although this guy was well-dressed, he wouldn't be so aggressive.Could it be that he was a rebellious aristocratic boy who ran away from home in a fit of anger, otherwise how could he not even bring his meal money.

However, Benson didn't have much money on him, so he took the boy to the most remote and cheapest hotel in the capital, and bought him some bread and water along the way.

"Is such crude food edible?" Icarus hated the food Benson bought for him.

Benson thought that this guy was really difficult to serve, he was so self-willed and unreasonable even when he was penniless, but he still kept smiling. After all, the other party might be a powerful person, so he couldn't be offended.

"Sorry, I don't have that much money with me."

When he came to the hotel, the boss asked Icarus to register his information. When asked about his name, Icarus felt that he was already so far away from home anyway, so he said his real name without hesitation: "Icarus. Tring."

At this moment, he didn't notice that Benson standing behind him changed his face and became very terrified.

Icarus completely regarded Benson as his temporary entourage. After getting the key to the door, he went upstairs and entered the guest room to check around.In his opinion, the accommodation conditions in this hotel are terrible. Although the sheets and bedding look clean, they are all old, and there is no perfume; the bathroom is too small, not even a bathtub; damaged.

With nowhere to vent the accumulated anger, Icarus could only complain endlessly about the poor environment, bad food, and Benson's incompetence...

Benson stood quietly at the door of the guest room, turning a deaf ear to Icarus' words, and his heart was full of contradictions and entanglements.His elder brother was killed by the killer sent by the Sterling family, and the Patriarch of the Sterling family was right in front of him. His brother's death definitely had a lot to do with him.Some impermissible impulse is gradually dominating Benson's brain.

"Why don't you speak?" Icarus looked at Benson after venting his emotions.

Benson came back to his senses and asked seriously, "You said your name was Icarus Sterling?"

"That's right, what's wrong?"

"You are the Earl of Stirling?"

"You know our family too?" Icarus gave Benson a few more appreciative glances, "You still have some discernment."

"My name is Joseph Field, do you recognize me?"

Icarus thought for a while, "I remember that our family has a Chamber of Commerce named Field, and you are also a member of the Field Chamber of Commerce?"

"Yes." Benson continued to repeat: "Then do you remember me? My name is Joseph Field."

Benson's words annoyed Icarus a bit, reminding him of the confrontation with the Survey Corps a few months ago, Erwin asked him if he knew his deacon's family background
