Chapter 111 – Final Plan (3)
Like any other city, this city also has a guard captain. Although it was a busy area far from the prosperous center of the capital, the city has recently become more vibrant than ever when Mr. Gordon from a nearby village expanded his business and brought in a new wind.
Of course, it could be said to be bad news for the head of the security guard, as the work of the security guard doubled.
Of course, the workload was not as intense as in a dangerous slum or a capital city, but since it was a small downtown area, it was a definite burden to handle all the work with a few people.
The security chief lightly pressed his hands to his eyelids, hoping to relieve his fatigue, and then read the report on his desk. The mediation of minor disputes has increased significantly these days, patrol areas have increased, and petty crimes are gradually increasing.
Although reinforcements were desperately needed, it was currently impossible to even think about increasing them. How about reinvesting in the training of new employees by distributing those who are already on the job? I didn’t know how much the security forces under my command would complain,
Still, she couldn’t ask that woman for her help…
The captain wiped the sweat that had begun to flow just from his imagination. A few months ago he sent a request for support to his superiors. A new experienced person came from the capital to apply. Even though she was an unreasonable number, her guard leader welcomed her with a happy heart because he wanted to lend her a hand.
When she first set foot in the security guard headquarters, the order she gave him contained something that completely overturned his expectations.
– As personnel are dispatched to manage the dangerous assistants who are gradually increasing, the existing assistant management personnel will be replaced with security guards.
So, what was sent from the capital was just one hunter. Thanks to this, I felt sorry for the member who had been deprived of his previously easy and uninteresting work and had become a busy police officer.
After delivering her orders, she packed her bags and quickly left the city. From then on, she only sent a few letters at the end of the month on her regular reporting day, and she was never seen again after that. At some point she didn’t even come up with the month-end report.
He was angry at her attitude and wrote an angry letter to his superiors, but received no response in return. Even though I complained to the mayor, he just remained ignorant. She just wanted to know how great of a connection she had.
Soon the guard leader came out of his angry flashback and began to focus on the documents again. Okay. As they say, no news is good news, so perhaps it was a good thing that she was not seen in front of her eyes.
Just as he began to focus again on the recent theft,
The security guard door opened, and one of the guards came in panting.
“Guard of security!”
The guard captain raised his head at the sound of his voice filled with urgency. He was panting slightly and leaning against the wall, as if he had rushed up the stairs. When I looked at him asking why he was making such a fuss, he caught his breath and spoke urgently,
“She is back!”
That woman.
There was no longer any need to explain exactly who it was. The captain was confused when he heard the news. Why on earth is this woman who hasn’t seen her nose poop even once since she was assigned to this area? Now that it’s not even the end-of-month reporting date?
Just as he was panicking because he could not clearly understand the situation, a face poked its head behind the guard standing at the door.
It was a face that left a strong impression. It was not only because of her outstanding beauty that went well with her dark black hair, but also the face of a woman with rare deep golden eyes.
Grace.
He was a dispatched person from the capital alone and had no idea what he was doing.
“It’s been a while. “Guard of security.”
Her tone of voice was unwavering and relaxed. The head of the security guard barely swallowed the thought that was about to come out at her attitude as she greeted her boss again after several months, as if she were greeting her colleague again today.
“… Okay. What’s going on, Grace?”
“I have a request to make.”
“… Really?”
The guard captain was holding back his anger as he gritted his teeth at her attitude, but Grace didn’t even notice and strode into the room with her feet. The guard captain seemed a little dumbfounded by the disrespect she showed toward her superiors, wondering what kind of person she was, but for some reason, she felt pressured by her indifferent attitude.
“So, what is that request?”
“Please send me just one letter.”
“Letter?”
In response to his question, Grace nodded, took a clean piece of paper, and sat down in the guard captain’s seat. After pushing her papers into a corner, the guard leader finally reached his limit when he saw her busily running her quill over the paper.
“… “What are you doing now?”
Grace didn’t even respond and continued writing the letter.
The security chief eventually couldn’t control his anger and hit his desk with his fist. With a loud sound, several pieces of paper fluttered and fell to the floor,
“Grace.”
He called her name in a low voice, and only then did the woman in question raise her head.
“… “Captain.”
Her answer was mocking. At least the guard captain felt that way.
“Missing reports, ignoring the chain of command, insulting superiors. These are the actions you committed while dispatched here. How long on earth should I tolerate your rudeness?”
His point was correct in every detail, and he had plenty of reasons to be justifiably angry. Because the issues were serious enough to consider punishment, the guard captain spoke with a stern expression.
“… Ah.”
The golden eyes looking up at him were filled with slight irritation.
“Please wait a moment.”
After saying that, Grace looked at the doorway. The guard who delivered the news of her arrival was still standing at the door watching them.
“Harvey. Stay in your place. This is an order,”
When he noticed that her gaze was a sign of congratulations, he immediately called out the guard’s name and gave instructions, and Harvey stayed in his position as if he was satisfied with his command. Grace’s brow furrowed when she saw the guard captain’s look in her eyes that said, “If I can, I’ll try,” But he didn’t care.
“… Then, we will have to control their participation.”
Finally, Grace, who spoke with a sigh, put her hand into her pocket, took out something of her own, and handed it to him. The guard captain, who handed her things to her, lifted them up for a closer look.
It was a small plaque. But the guard captain could tell right away that it was not just any ordinary nameplate. The name plate was made of well-finished iron and decorated with silver, and had a beautiful lion pattern carved into it, with elegant writing engraved underneath.
Capital Investigation Team
When the guard captain thought about the weight of the name Capital Investigation Team, he was dazed, as if he had been hit on the head. As Grace watched his expression change, an even deeper look of irritation appeared between her eyebrows.
“See. In the end, it’s going to be like this for just one nameplate.”
The guard captain immediately lowered his head at her words. If he got caught by the capital investigation team, his job would be lost that day. As a quasi-independent agency under the state, they were a group with independent investigative command authority, so their power was greatly ignored.
The security guard who saw his sudden change in attitude was embarrassed and said something, but he could not hear exactly what he was saying. All he did was stutter and say that he was sorry for not knowing and that he would cooperate sincerely.
Despite his sudden change in attitude, Grace seemed to be annoyed and waved his hand as she wrote a letter, and the security chief immediately bit the police officer. She continued to write down her letter during a moment of silence and spoke in an easy voice.
“Don’t be too scared. “I was demoted.”
“Yes, yes?”
The guard commander quietly tried to determine the truth of the fact. Is it a trick? If she was demoted, she might actually be without her power…
“But that doesn’t mean I don’t have ability. “Don’t think nonsense.”
“Yes, yes!”
She continued writing her letter.
“Isn’t it scary that it’s an independent investigative agency? “I see how one’s attitude changes with just one nameplate.”
“…”
Despite her sarcasm, he couldn’t help but sweat. Grace spoke for the first time with a small smile at his silence.
“But the problem with being an independent institution is that it is very difficult to get rid of it if it eventually rots.”
She put down the quill and scanned the document.
“It has independent investigative capabilities, is closed with little interference, and if it is corrupted from within, collusion becomes stronger. “If you rush to change that, you’ll end up in the same situation.”
Soon after completing her review, she took out her seal again from her pocket. The guard captain, who watched her actions, quickly gave her his seal, and she sealed the letter and placed it on her desk.
“Could you please forward this letter to the capital investigation team?”
Now that he knew who she was, she had no right to refuse him. When the guard captain nodded hurriedly, Grace added with a satisfied smile.
“By the way, don’t even think about opening it, and make sure to check the guard’s mouth.”
“Woah, is it possible?”
At his hesitation, Grace got up and left again. As she left her room, she waved her hand behind her in greeting and started walking again.
Even though Isabella has the ability to knock down birds flying in the sky within the village.
In the end, she was a frog in a well.
Grace wanted to let her know.
It’s not just the unlucky little prey that enter her little world.
That there are snakes out there that can devour her, hawks that can tear her apart, and people that can crush her.
What.
I am also looking for a Mason.
“By the way, Siana was there too, right?”
Grace, who remembered that she had forgotten, clicked her tongue and headed back to the village.
I just hoped that Lucia had somehow successfully approached Mason.
That way, you will be able to watch Isabella fall apart.
