After Henry, the enemy commander, declared his surrender, the battlefield was quickly brought under control. The Kingdom’s soldiers, caught off guard by the unexpected ambush, dropped to their knees, completely demoralized. Even their officers, seemingly convinced that the situation could not be overturned, resigned themselves to captivity. “Hurry up! You goddamn rats!” “You should all be dead right now! Be grateful to our merciful company commander!” As was typical of soldiers in the…- 2.2 M • Ongoing
- Sergeant Glendy returned to the troops with a face full of loyalty and began issuing orders. Of course, he couldn’t resist adding nonsense about my “incredible foresight” while doing so. While the soldiers prepared for battle with grim determination, I climbed a nearby hill with Lieutenant McCall to confirm his report. “Captain Daniel, you never act without a plan, do you?” …For some reason, Frien had tagged along, but I didn’t bother stopping her. Ignoring her chatter, I reached the hilltop…

- Lucy’s instincts screamed a warning. The woman standing before her was dangerous. Those eyes, as if peering straight into her soul, carried a hint of madness. But Lucy didn’t lose her composure. So what if she was being suspected? Nothing would change. “Be clear about what you’re trying to say, Cadet Frien. Are you implying that I’ve committed a crime? Or perhaps that I’m lying?” Frien’s pupils quivered. She had only been fishing for a reaction, but she hadn’t expected Lucy to respond so…

- Knock, knock. Cedric looked up from his desk while eating a sandwich and reviewing documents. The wall clock showed the hour hand already pointing at 5 p.m. ‘…Then this must be Captain Daniel Steiner.’ Earlier around noon, Daniel had requested a meeting regarding support for the Northern operations. Cedric had been wanting to see him anyway, so he told him to come at 5 p.m., and now Daniel had knocked right on time. “Come in.” At Cedric’s permission, Daniel opened the door to the office. Seeing…

- “Wait! I was just collecting stamps as a hobby, but then my wife came home spouting nonsense and scolded me for wasting money on this stuff! Can you believe that?!” As usual, I found myself strolling in front of the headquarters building after lunch, listening to Ernst’s endless complaints. Incidentally, my adjutant, Lucy, had also gotten roped into this conversation and was now forced to endure Ernst’s rant about his home life. “All I do for fun is fish and collect stamps! Just those two things!…

- Hearing the dreadful news that he had gained attention from higher-ups, Daniel resolved that this time, he absolutely needed to visit a dessert shop for some healing. ‘Taking care of one’s mental health amidst a busy and stressful work life is a commendable thing to do.’ With that in mind, Daniel immediately took a shortcut after work and arrived at the Golden Rose Bakery, a newly opened shop on the outskirts of the capital. Judging by the overwhelming aroma of pastries and bread wafting out, there…

- After dinner, Kartman didn’t head home. Instead, he made his way to the Imperial Security Bureau. Once inside the building, Kartman entered Division 5—the department responsible for intelligence gathering and espionage operations. Noticing the footsteps, an analyst looked up and flinched when he saw Kartman, quickly standing from his desk. “Inspector Kartman! Didn’t you say you were heading home?” “Ah, well… about that—here, take this first.” Kartman handed the analyst a cup of…

- Meanwhile, the mafia members were thrown into chaos after confirming their boss, Nickel, was dead. Having barely recovered from the shock, they quickly began a serious discussion about who had killed him. During this process, a man who claimed to be a witness stepped forward. His name was Valdron Mekalana. Valdron stated that he had been smoking a cigarette by an open second-floor window when he saw a woman jump down from the third floor—where the boss had been. At first, he thought he might’ve been…

- I swallowed dryly and adjusted the position of my uniform tie. ‘For now…’ It’s best to act as naturally as possible. Clearing my throat, I walked toward Lucy. “I didn’t expect to meet someone here, so I was a bit surprised. More importantly, there’s blood on your coat. Did something happen here?” Lucy hesitated for a moment before speaking nonchalantly. “There was an incident.” “…An incident, you say?” “Yes. To explain, I work as an emergency medicine specialist and…

- My instincts were screaming at me. Something big involving Lucy was going to happen today. Not to brag, but my instincts were usually right. So, I spent the day carefully observing and staying on guard against Lucy. But contrary to my expectations, Lucy remained as composed and efficient as ever, quietly handling her work. “It’s time to go, Captain.” From inside my personal office, Lucy finished organizing the documents and looked at me. ‘…It’s already time to leave?’ I glanced at the wall…
