- It was likely her first time being separated from the Royal Guard, yet she maintained her composure. I almost wanted to compliment her for it. However, the situation was far too urgent for idle chatter. The enemy was now so close that I could hear their footsteps even without straining my ears. “Your Highness. They’ll be storming this place any moment now.” Selvia nodded while looking at the door. “Yes, I know.” “In that case, can you fire two shots toward the ceiling when they open the…

- My heart pounded wildly, and my breathing grew erratic. I forced myself to maintain a calm expression, but the corners of my lips trembled slightly. ‘Calm down! Think of an excuse!’ If I failed to answer now, Daniel’s suspicions could solidify into certainty. Running countless simulations in my head in a split second, I finally managed to speak. “…Ah. Is that so? I had no idea. They were still serving it when I went, so I didn’t know about such an incident.” This was the best response I could…

- The next day. After leaving the General Staff Headquarters, I headed straight to a hair salon with Ernst. Honestly, I didn’t want to go, but Ernst insisted that since we were entering under the Imperial Family’s invitation, it was only proper to make at least a minimal effort to look presentable. I had no room to refuse. There, I adopted the Empire’s latest trend—a slicked-back hairstyle—and then rode in Ernst’s car to the royal banquet mansion. A banquet mansion—can you even believe…

- I heard an indirect death threat through the CCTV, so I returned to my office and ordered Lucy to stop working. Afterward, I took her out for lunch and showed her the facilities available to officers at the General Staff Headquarters before heading back to the office. I handled most of the afternoon tasks myself. The reason was simple. If I dumped more work on Lucy, I might actually end up dead. Of course, that was unlikely, but what if Lucy, pushed to the edge by overwork, suddenly drew the revolver at…

- At the same time, in the Kingdom of Eldresia. Central Intelligence Bureau, Director’s Office. “…Is it true that the ringleaders of the anti-war protest were captured?” Standing in front of a massive world map hanging on the wall, Colonel Octavian Leopold, the director of the Central Intelligence Bureau, couldn’t hide his irritation. Crispin, the head of Strategic Analysis, and Phineas, the head of Operations Execution, swallowed nervously as they stood before him. After gauging the director’s…

- Why was I stuck sharing an office with a spy from the enemy nation? I wanted nothing more than to report this woman to the Chief of Operations as a spy, but without evidence, I’d just come off as a lunatic. For now, I had no choice but to act naturally. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves, then reopened the office door. When Lucy looked at me strangely, I shrugged. “Did you hear that? The hinge on this door is making a weird noise. I’ll have to call maintenance soon.” The whole thing—the…

- Ernst looked at me with an incredulous expression. His eyes, brimming with expectation, seemed to say, “My capable subordinate has done it again!”—a thought that doubled the pressure weighing on me. “How exactly did you get that tight-lipped man to talk? Share your secret—our interrogators could use some pointers.” At Ernst’s words, Sergeant Bendelin also turned to me with a smile. I could understand their curiosity. Since I had muted the microphone during yesterday’s interrogation, no one…
