The sight of the two women staring at each other was so out of place that it felt outright uncomfortable. Was this what it felt like to sit on a bed of thorns? ‘I don’t really know why they’re fighting, but…’ Thinking he should mediate, Daniel forced a smile and spoke up. "Whether it’s silverware or goldware, they’re both used for meals, are they not? In the end, the choice of tableware is simply a matter of personal preference, so there’s no need to argue over it." Both women’s…- 1.7 M • Ongoing
- The atmosphere shifted in an instant. As a spy with years of experience, Lucy instinctively understood. Though Selvia was smiling playfully, her true intentions were far from innocent—her gaze was as cold and calculating as ice. This is dangerous. A single misstep in her words, and she could very well lose her life. Sensing Lucy’s tension, Selvia slowly straightened herself. "I’ll be honest. I had the Intelligence Bureau conduct a little background check on you. And I came across some rather…

- On Christmas Day, at the Golden Rose Bakery. "Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Steiner and Lieutenant Lucy Emilia, correct? It's an honor to have you visit our store. Could you please wait a moment while I confirm your reservation?" Daniel nodded, and the employee checked the list. During this brief pause, Daniel glanced at Lucy standing beside him. 'It's my first time seeing her in civilian clothes...' Lucy was dressed in a crisp white blouse with a coat draped over her shoulders, and a tan pencil skirt…

- Early Morning, the Next Day. The Imperial Palace’s Indoor Garden. "Hmm…" Selvia wandered around, her crimson cloak fluttering behind her, before turning to the Chief of the Inner Palace. "What do you think? Do I look alright?" Seeing the Crown Princess fidgeting restlessly, the Chief of the Inner Palace offered a somewhat awkward smile. "Your Highness, this is the third time you’ve asked." "I just can’t calm down. It’s been a long time since we last met… So, how does it look?" Selvia…

- Daniel silently embraced Lucy, who was sobbing like a child. He let her pour out all the knots of sorrow inside her. Only after crying for a long time did Lucy finally manage to calm down. Seeing the life return to Lucy’s eyes, Daniel raised his hand slightly. Loosening all tension from his arms, he wrapped her in a warm embrace and spoke. He suggested that she take a bath to clear her mind and regain her composure. It was only then that Lucy realized her appearance must have been a mess. She gave…

- The next day, as Daniel Steiner arrived at the General Staff headquarters, he stopped by the operations office for a mission debrief and was taken aback. "Waiting for you, Operations Officer!" "Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Steiner, welcome back!" "We heard about the negotiation results! It's just as expected of Lieutenant Colonel Steiner!" The staff members paused their work to give him a round of applause and showered him with praises that seemed more sycophantic than sincere. "It feels like they're…

- In Daniel's forthright gaze, sincerity was evident. Bertham was no fool; he knew well that the words spoken were directed at him. A heavier silence than ever settled between the two. "......" "......" The silence prolonged, but neither of them opened their mouths first, aware that a wrong word could escalate into disaster. This wasn't just about Daniel's perspective. Emperor Bertham was now in a position where he had to be cautious of Daniel's reactions. The aging and ill Bertham was at a juncture…

- I apologize for any discrepancies. Here's a more literal translation of the provided text: Daniel had wished to stay in Vellanos for a few more days if not months, but unfortunately, his dream did not come true. The following day, by noon, a private jet sent by the imperial household had arrived in Tentarbachem. It was only natural that an immediate order for his return had been issued, and Daniel had no choice but to board the private jet reluctantly. Escorted by Hartmann, Daniel boarded, and the jet…

- The moment Lowell took that fountain pen, there would be no turning back. Vellanos, the nation his ancestors had fought so hard to protect, would in all but name become a vassal state of the Empire. 'But…' The horrors that would unfold if he refused haunted his mind. Just as Daniel had said, the Empire had a perfectly justifiable casus belli. If the Empire declared war, Vellanos would descend into hell in an instant. Countless citizens would scream, soldiers would die in droves, the cabinet would…

- The Atmosphere Turns Frigid The tension in the room thickened, freezing the air. Lowell hesitated, unable to offer a rebuttal, and in that moment of silence, Daniel took a step back. "My, my. I only wanted to have a lighthearted conversation before we began the actual negotiations, but it seems things got a bit too heated. Why don’t we take a seat and proceed with the discussion?" Lowell, still tense, gave a slight nod. He hadn’t come here to fight Daniel Steiner. After adjusting his clothes,…
