Chapter Title: Count Khaledra is Wary

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

After finishing breakfast and his daily duties, Daniel returned to his hotel room, humming a tune.

He was in high spirits, thinking he could finally put an end to his perilous life in the Empire.

‘Now I don't have to see Lucy trying to kill me, and I won't have to worry about being sentenced to death in a war crimes trial.’

Plus, the risk of dying from a stray bullet on the battlefield would be gone. It was a triple win.

A gentle smile spreading across his face, Daniel opened the kitchen refrigerator and took out some Roquefort cheese and ice.

A distinct, strong aroma wafted from the Roquefort, also known as blue cheese.

‘Good. It's aged well.’

This was the cheese the citizens of Nordia had pooled their money to buy for him as a farewell gift.

Since it was an expensive cheese, he had planned to savor it slowly, but seeing as he would soon be leaving the Empire, there was no longer any need to hesitate.

Placing the cheese on the table, Daniel then took a bottle of standard-issue whiskey and a glass from the shelf.

He set the glass on the table as well, added a few ice cubes, and poured a splash of whiskey.

The sunset-colored liquid filled the glass about halfway.

It felt a bit of a waste to pair such expensive cheese with standard-issue whiskey, but on the battlefield, this was the height of luxury, so he had no complaints.

Setting the whiskey bottle aside, Daniel picked up his glass and walked to the window.

He wanted to take a sip while looking out at the view.

‘So, what should I do first after I successfully defect? Maybe I'll paint? I've always wanted to be an artist...’

Lost in thought, Daniel shook his head.

‘Unless I become a master, painting doesn't pay. What about baking? I helped the director at the orphanage bake bread a few times back home. I remember getting a lot of praise for having a talent for it...’

Planning his future, Daniel stood by the window and looked down.

In the square below the hotel, numerous soldiers were coming and going as usual.

The only difference was that today, for some reason, the soldiers moving under the lamplight seemed brimming with energy.

‘...Did something happen?’

Puzzled, he kept watching as what appeared to be low-ranking soldiers began running around, relaying messages.

After hearing the soldiers' words, officers and veteran soldiers exchanged a few words before letting out cheers.

Then, a few soldiers pointed to the seventh floor of the hotel where Daniel was staying and suddenly saluted.

The salute from one or two spread like a contagion.

Every one of them saluted Daniel with a smile, and even some junior officers followed the soldiers' lead.

Suddenly receiving a salute from hundreds of soldiers gathered in the square, Daniel broke into a cold sweat.

‘What is this?’

He didn't understand.

No, to be precise, he didn't want to understand.

To quell an unknown fear, Daniel raised his glass of whiskey and took a small sip.

‘No way. It can't be...’

Just as he was
