Anna sat behind her desk, looking at the clock on the wall from time to time

Seconds later, a knock was heard on the door

Anna adjusted her posture and controlled her voice to become deeper, "You can come in..."

The door opened and a teenage girl entered the office and stood in front of Anna

This girl had sky blue hair with clear blue eyes, her white face devoid of any emotions, and she was wearing a black academic uniform with red stripes that, although elegant, did not hide her attractive curves.

"Charlotte..." Anna motioned for Charlotte to sit on a nearby sofa

Charlotte responded and sat quietly

Anna nodded contentedly, "I requested your presence to discuss an important topic with you."

There was no reaction on Charlotte's face, but this did not bother Anna, who knew that this girl had her own way of dealing with others.

What mattered to Anna was that Charlotte was focused on her

Anna smiled deceptively, "I was able to obtain an irreplaceable opportunity that could enable you to apply for a better job in the future."

Charlotte's watery eyes lit up when she heard Anna's words

Charlotte belonged to an ordinary family and had no important relatives, so she had to make extra effort to compete with the sons of noble families.

Even when an opportunity came to her to join the Imperial Academy, she had to turn it down because she could not leave her sick mother.

All these obstacles made a talented person like her face the risk of having her talent buried in this small place

Fortunately, Anna was able to see Charlotte's potential and what she could achieve, so Anna tried to help her with every step

She thought about getting a recommendation paper from Walter that would help Charlotte join one of the intelligence units after she graduated from the academy

A lot of doors will open for Charlotte if she can achieve this goal, because she will gain resources that will help her increase her power

But it was not that easy, because obtaining a recommendation paper required that an individual make significant contributions in order to obtain such a rare opportunity

But now things are different

Anna thought about hiring Charlotte to accompany the new student

Watching and protecting this young man will be counted as a great contribution, so she will be able to obtain a recommendation paper from Walter allowing Charlotte to join one of the imperial institutions.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

With this line of thinking, Anna's desire to give this task to Charlotte increased, "A boy will come here under the identity of a transfer student. He is protected under the witness protection system."

"What does this have to do with me?" Charlotte tilted her head slightly, unable to understand what her role in all of this was

"There are important people who want to protect this boy at all costs, and they asked me to appoint someone to accompany him and help him coexist in this new environment."

Charlotte began to understand the purpose of her being here. "You want me to do this job?"

"That's right…" Anna confirmed Charlotte's words, "If you succeed in doing this mission, I can get a recommendation paper for you from those people in charge of this mission."

Charlotte turned her eyes to the side as she thought deeply about this matter

From Anna's words, it was clear that the people running this operation were in high positions

Therefore, it was expected that the reward for this task would be high. Obtaining a recommendation paper will put her on the same level as the sons of nobles when competing for jobs

But what made her hesitant was that the seriousness of this operation was still unknown

That person is in the witness protection program, so there are definitely people who want to kill or kidnap him

Being around him would expose her to a lot of danger

There was an intense conflict inside Charlotte that was evident in her eyes, which had lost their initial calm

Anna remained silent, waiting for Charlotte's answer

She realizes that Charlotte is smart enough to understand the benefits and risks of this mission

But she would be a little disappointed if Charlotte refused to take on this task

Talent was important, but what was more important was the mentality that a warrior must have in order to move forward

A defeatist person could not advance a single step, no matter how talented he was

"I will do this." Charlotte's words were determined

"Great…" Anna smiled happily at Charlotte's wise choice, "He will arrive in a few hours, you should meet him at the gate."

"This is a picture of the new student with his basic information." Anna handed Charlotte a paper containing a picture of a red-haired young man with a scar on his cheek that made him look like a delinquent, "I will count on you..."

"I will do my best..." Charlotte left the office preparing to receive the new arrival

---------------------

"You seem distracted..." Walter took his eyes away from the book in his hands and looked at Alexander

Alexander raised his eyes from the floor of the carriage, which was constantly shaking due to movement, and looked at Walter

distracted?

He himself didn't know what was going on, but he couldn't sleep last night and kept tossing and turning all night

He knew that something was wrong somewhere that made him unable to rest, but he couldn't put his hands on the problem

"Are you sad because you left the Imperial Academy?" Walter thought that Alexander was affected after leaving the life he was accustomed to at the Imperial Academy

"Who knows..." Alexander leaned back on the carriage seat, smirking

This matter did not concern him at all

Moving from one place to another was a common thing for him due to his circumstances that forced him to constantly travel

That's why he was not emotionally attached to that place because he was well aware that he would leave it sooner or later

"Okay..." Walter waved in front of Alexander's absent-minded face, "Listen carefully, this is not the time to be distracted like someone who has been abandoned by his lover."

"Do I look that miserable?" Alexander smiled at Walter's sharp comment

Walter ignored him and took out a small box, "These are small headphones that you should put in your ears every time you leave your room."

Alexander picked up the box and opened it

A small black headset is settled in the box

Walter continued his explanation, "There is an operating room located in the academy to protect you around the clock, and the agent in charge will communicate with you through these headsets."

Is that a nice way of saying that you're going to spy on me?... Alexander couldn't help but scoff at this obvious plan.

But he was a little surprised that they had dedicated an entire operating room to protect him

But the matter was understandable, because this issue was serious and threatened the security of the entire empire

Who knows what these crazy people can do and how far they can go

"Oh, I almost forgot about this..." Walter took out a card from his jacket pocket and handed it to Alexander, "This is a bank card you can use to make your purchases. All your purchases will be protected and outside the general banking system."

Alexander's expression changed dramatically and he picked up the bank card in his hands and raised it towards his face with starry eyes

"..." Walter watched Alexander's exaggerated movements with a blank expression

The carriage suddenly stopped moving and the voice of the carriage driver rang out from outside, "We have arrived, sir."

Walter opened the door and pointed to Alexander, "Come on, boy, you have arrived at your destination."

"Wait…" Alexander was stunned for a moment, "You won't come with me?"

Anna won't let me out of there easily...With this thought, Walter decided to come out with a suitable excuse

"I can't risk letting anyone see me with you, it's all for security reasons."

" Really...?." Alexander didn't buy this story and looked at Walter with unconcealed suspicion

"We don't have time to waste." Walter picked up Alexander and threw him out of the car, then threw his bags behind him

"Go, Eugene..." Walter shouted to the carriage driver

"Come on..." The carriage driver cracked a whip in the air and the giant horses pulling the carriage sped away from Alexander.

Alexander, who was thrown without warning, got up and looked at the carriage moving away from him with hatred and anger.

All he could do was raise his hand and shout towards the carriage with a threat, "I will return this to you one day, dirty old man."
