“So there is a traitor, but you don’t knoho it is”
The agents looked at each other worriedly as Isaac’s gaze swept through the”
“With your elven specialty?”
“Yes We’ll be able to pick up on their lies as we interrogate them one by one”
Lanburton answered confidently, but Isaac s to take? I’m sure they’ll have plenty of time to escape by then”
“But that is our only lead”
“Finding the traitor is easy enough”
“What? You have a method to find them?”
Lanburton exclaients treuity
“Everyone as in Port City today are excluded”
Most of the agents rushed out of the gap as the line of North Bears parted ways for theents were left, and they all looked worriedly at Isaac The non-hus around the six
“Are they the suspects?”
“Probably?”
One of the left behind agents desperately cried out
“This doesn’t make sense! You can’t just treat us like traitors just because eren’t in Port City!”
“Then letWhy weren’t you there?”
“What? That’s because…”
The agent who tried to argue back frowned in frustration Why did the agents go to Port City? Because they wanted to switch to Laila’s side
Most agents of Security were veterans who had served Central for over 10 years except for a select few individuals That hy they’d be willing to quit the Directorate of Security if Laila were to employ them as officials in her vacant adents without a decade of service could ride the wave through lateral positional transfers, which hy they also asse behind in New Port City itself was inherently suspicious
The agents of Security had initially applied for generous future rewards But suddenly, there was an alternative route to an even more bountiful reward—and sooner as well No ht, and center regardless
Because of their task as double agents? Because they were sick? Because they wanted to rest?
Those excuses h contests of survival thinly veiled as training, and especially surviving vile treachery all around afterwards—only to land in aaway an opportunity to escapeto say?

Rivelia commented, convinced that of all the directorates, analysis would be the last to betray theize in advance”
Isaac signalled one of the nearby agents to bring hiized, he sat on the chair and crossed his legs
“There is the possibility that one of you really is innocent”
“That’s right! I am innocent!”
“But as you knoe don’t have time There’s a lot that needs to be done So if you are innocent and don’t know anything, keep saying that I’ardless”
“…”
A chilling silence fell around them A declaration that innocent deaths were just unfortunate and nothing et any inforent pleading innocence turned everyone’s heads as they watched
“Robert, have you truly betrayed us!”
One of the agents outside the periood friends—cried out in disbelief, only to have Robert shout back
“Who do you think you are calling a traitor! We are the Order of the Empire, and ore to dedicate our lives to the Emperor and the Empire!”
“… What are these stupid Order of the Empire retards?”
Isaac asked, and Rivelia stuttered as she answered, her face pale froanisation of Central agents who have sworn fealty to the Emperor and the Empire But Sir Jackson, you were a vassal of the Pendletons How could you!”
“The Pendletons are the threat splitting the E is had for us hu united as one? I swore o”
Rivelia stepped back, tre
“See how convenient it is when you reveal your identity? Let’s just s easy for both of us Who killed Kalden?”
Robert looked at Isaac begrudgingly and spoke
“I have nothing to say to you You may have escaped thanks to luck this time, but you and the whore you folloill meet their demise by the hands of the Order of the Empire!”
“Your death will be a clean one if you cooperate”
Robert snorted at Isaac’s offer and shouted
“Our conviction is hard as steel and our loyalty to the E We will never sub!”
