Chapter 489

The expressions of those who had heard about the authority granted from Kishiar, its contents, and the intention to establish a new intelligence department within the Cavalry, were varied.

There was Gakane, with his sunken face; the Eldore siblings, who couldn't conceal their excitement as they exchanged glances; and Devran, who couldn't hide his bewilderment at the sudden proposal.

Among them, the only one showing no change in expression was Enon, who spoke first.

"Intelligence, huh? You must have a very specific need if you're planning to start this now. What information are you after?"

"I'll tell you once you've definitively agreed to be a part of this."

"Of course we're in!"

"We've been waiting for today!"

The Eldore siblings exclaimed, raising their voices. Gakane, who was expected to agree as well, hesitated oddly.

"Gakane. What about you?"

"Uh? I... "

Only then did Gakane lift his head, rubbing his temples as he sighed.

"Uh, yeah. I want to participate. Of course."

He accepted, but his response was peculiar. Yuder narrowed his eyes subtly and began to scrutinize Gakane's face more carefully than before. The Eldore siblings also wore similar expressions as they threw a question.

"Gakane. You've been going on and on about wanting to do this with Yuder. Why do you sound so hesitant now that the time has come?"

"Are you still hurting from that injury? We saw your shadow flickering during training earlier!"

"No, it's not that. Did I... really say that?"

"You did! Repeatedly!"

"Uh, honestly, you did seem to make a lot of mistakes today."

Devran, who had been silent until now, also agreed. Faced with this, Gakane turned his uneasy eyes toward Yuder. Yuder observed Gakane's face, which looked paler than usual, before speaking.

"Gakane. I initially asked you because I thought you'd be suitable for this, but if you're feeling burdened or have difficulties participating, it's okay not to. I won't hold it against you."

"No, I really wanted to. I'm glad you formally proposed it. But... well..."

Gakane trailed off, his head lowered as he mumbled, seemingly overwhelmed by the gazes upon him.

"Ever since I heard what the Commander said this morning, I've been worried... and I couldn't focus because of it. I'm sorry."

"The Commander's words?"

"..."

Yuder wanted to ask specifically what he was referring to, but he sensed that pushing further would only make Gakane more uncomfortable. It was an intuition gained from his long-standing experience as a Commander.

'Anyway, he seems to want to participate in the intelligence unit. I'll have to talk to him later about why he's so down.'

"Alright, understood. It seems your intent to participate is clear."

Yuder decided to move on at that point. Devran, upon making eye contact, slightly hunched his shoulders but then straightened up assertively.

"Devran. There's something I'd like to ask you before I hear your answer."

"What is it?"

"The Commander actually recommended you for this. He praised your performance in the recent mission with Steiber, saying you did an excellent job gathering intelligence."

"Oh, really? The Commander... I see!"

Finally, Devran seemed to understand why he had been summoned, his face brightening up.

Nevertheless, in the end, Enon accepted Yuder's request.

"Fine. I got it. But don't expect me to attend annoying meetings like this again. If you have anything to tell me, just contact me directly."

"Understood. Thanks, Enon."

"..."

Instead of responding, Enon aggressively chewed on the last remaining piece of lemon peel.

"Then it's decided that everyone will participate. Thank you for accepting."

"So, can we now hear what our first task for investigation will be? Tell us quickly!"

At Hinn's eager request, Yuder scanned everyone's faces once before sharing their first assignment.

"A while ago, we acquired some information. Our job is to follow where that information leads, find our target, and gather whatever intelligence we can."

"Information?"

"Yes, specifically this."

Yuder pulled out a piece of paper that had a decrypted note from Duke Tain’s message that he had remembered.

"Um... this alone doesn't tell us what or who the target is. I can't even guess."

"Is it an address? A time?"

"I have a rough idea of where we need to go. And who we need to find. I'll inform you of that shortly. And one more thing."

Yuder continued cautiously.

"The investigation isn't just one thing. Aside from this, there's something else I'd like you to look into personally."
