Chapter 114
In the chambers of strategy and shadows, Yan and the Chief Instructor, guided by the Crown Prince’s counsel, decided to cohabit Yan’s quarters, dedicating their vigilance to the protection of the most pivotal figure, Lia.
This alliance shielded Yan from crossing paths with other trainees, despite the passage of considerable time since his return to the training grounds.
“Shouldn’t you return to your duties, Director of Inspection?” Yan inquired.
“A lack of pressing matters grants me this respite,” came the nonchalant reply.
Diana, the head of the Inspection Bureau, too, had not retreated to the capital, driven by a singular resolve to apprehend the Special Task Force Commander.
The Chief Instructor, visibly irked by her persistence, muttered under his breath, “Perhaps returning would be wise.”
“What was that?” Diana snapped.
“Nothing,” he dismissed.
While Diana’s presence was a boon, her approach towards Lia was a point of contention. The Chief Instructor sought to unravel Lia’s memories for conclusive evidence, while Diana condemned such actions, fearing they would inflict lifelong trauma on Lia.
Yan, witnessing their petty squabble, broke the silence, “It’s eerily quiet, isn’t it?”
“What is?” both turned to him.
