For an intelligence agent, the greatest terror was having their deception exposed. ‘But how...?’ How did Daniel Steiner know that the whiskey was poisoned? ‘Was my acting sloppy?’ No. That couldn’t be it.

- A Few Days Later Imperial General Staff Headquarters, Daniel Steiner’s Private Office “......” As usual, Lucy was organizing documents in Daniel’s stead when her ears perked up. From the corridor, she heard a familiar set of footsteps. Recognizing the sound as Daniel Steiner’s, she instinctively jumped up from her seat.
