The young man hadn’t had enough time as to so much as flinch. In terror, he squeezed his eyes shut. The five daggers were stabbed into the zelkova tree at the exact spacing, angle, and depth to have mutilated him if she had been less skilled in her knife throwing abilities.
“You’ve seen my skills. No one in the Bureau of Investigation can handle daggers as well as I can. Treasure the memory, for, next time, I might not miss,” she yelled triumphantly over her shoulder.
Daniel dumbfoundedly grinned at her back as she disappeared into the distance. He had heard other men mutter about how all women were the same. Clearly, none of those men had met Iveca, he thought, smirking to himself.
Even the King’s presence was not enough to cow her sharp tongue or dull her quick wit. She was fearless, and did not hesitate in the face of danger.
“It’s only a matter of time before this story is exaggerated to ridiculous degrees,“ Daniel muttered, his words laced with an undertone of amusement.
Next to him, Anriq recalled a flash of light glinting off a dagger thrown by the investigator. This strange woman, who threw with her left hand, reminded him deeply of Iveca, who he had not seen in four years. Her appearance and mannerisms were nothing like the girl he used to know; and he concluded that that couldn’t possibly have been her.
Anriq noted Daniel’s goofy grin, and concluded that he must like the interesting woman.

Two days later, Iveca brought a report on the affiliated organization’s transfer list to the office.
There were eight affiliated bodies of the Amethan Kingdom, each entry determined by college grades. While transferring was rare, in special cases it was done.
“Tell me about Gordon Emerson’s injury… Also, I hear talk of Kayden being discovered due to the color of his eyes? Care to explain?“ Daniel demanded of Iveca.
“Well, no matter how good a Bureau of Investigations operative’s disguise is, the color of their eyes can not be altered. Kayden’s black eyes are unusual and were recognised,“ she explained.
Fortunately, Daniel did not dig any further.
“Gordon Emerson is moving from the Bureau of Investigation to Intelligence… He must be seriously injured?”
The King could not have possibly known the names of all his affiliated staff. However, he remembered Gordon Emerson because he played a major role in raiding illegal magic shops during Daniel’s ascent to the throne. He stood out in memory even further due to the diagnosis by the Medical Bureau. Gordon would be physically impaired for the rest of his life.
“Moving to Intelligence is a wise move for older parts,“ he said, keeping the bitterness from reflecting in his tone.
“I would hate it if I was in his position. Being watched for the rest of my life by people who used to be my colleagues.”
If you left the Bureau of Investigation without fulfilling your term of office, especially when transferring to another agency, all your memories of working in the Bureau had to be erased. Alternatively, you would have to be monitored for the rest of your life.
The memory erasure magic, blessed by Evena, was a massive part of the legacy of the Bureau of Investigation.
Most secrets are remained that way, even from the King. However, the entire nation knew about the memory wipe. The Bureau believed that erasing their operations memories was a testament to their thoroughness.
“We’re all prepared to do that kind of thing,” Iveca stated, attempting to ease the guilt of the young king. “If it was to help continue the Amehtan Kingdom’s freedom, no one in the Bureau of Investigation would hesitate to do whatever is necessary.”
A long silence hung in the air between them before Daniel broke it, his voice low and deep, “Even so, I don’t feel comfortable with them paying the consequences.”
Iveca sighed internally; what the hell was she supposed to do? Concluding that she was powerless in a situation like this, she decided to put the troubling thoughts out of her mind, they weren’t going to help anyone.
Even though the King would not like the fact that the sacrifice had been made, or making the payment for that matter, there was nothing to be done.
Her heart went out to the man, he had the weight of the world on his shoulders.
His expression brightened suddenly, and smiling at her, he handed her the report, unsigned.
“I am not ready to pay it yet. I’ll sign it later,” he said, smirking.
“What?” she asked, genuinely confused.
“Before dinner tonight, come to my bedroom,” he said, winking at her, moving closer, until she could feel the heat radiating off his skin.
It was absurd, and absolutely unexpected.
“In casual clothes,” he whispered into her ear.

Iveca stared blankly at the sleek, well-dressed man sitting in front of her, wondering why he asked her to his room. She could think of only one reason.

“Hey, keep calm and continue working. What are you doing?”
As Sid walked down her hallway, she tugged painlessly through her hair, seemingly unable to concentrate. As Iveca looked up at him, her expression was complex and unreadable. Sid frowned, looking straight into her eyes.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, a note of worry in his tone.
