I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

After Daniel left his office to meet with the Security Bureau Director,

“……”

Lucy put down the documents and stared intently at the closed door through which Daniel had exited.

She fixed her gaze on it with an unstable expression before shaking her head.

It was best to put strange thoughts aside for now and focus on her original duties.

With that decision, Lucy picked up the documents again and resumed her review, but she soon had to stop.

She simply couldn't concentrate.

More than just a lack of focus—her mind was entirely consumed by thoughts of Daniel Steiner.

‘The Security Bureau Director must be suspicious of him…’

Lucy had a vague understanding of the situation.

It wasn’t the Security Bureau that had dismantled the Pallentia Branch—it was Daniel.

After all, he was the one who had uprooted the Imperial Prince’s private organization in the past.

It was only natural to assume that Daniel had used a similar method to crush the Pallentia Branch this time.

Then, what was his reason?

From Lucy’s perspective, Daniel attacking the Pallentia Branch was akin to wielding a double-edged sword.

If he succeeded, he would efficiently eliminate the Allied Nations’ spies embedded within the Imperial capital.

But if he failed, he wouldn’t just lose his own covert network—he would become the top-priority assassination target for enemy operatives.

Why would Daniel take such a risk?

Lucy pondered the question over and over until she arrived at one conclusion.

‘…Could it be because of me?’

It wasn’t mere speculation.

Daniel knew that she was a former test subject.
