Chapter 113: Bachelor of the Mage Tower (1) (Teaser)
The main office of the Imperial Ministry of Public Safety, which operated under the direct control of the Empress, was known as Equilibrium. For Deputy Director Primien, peaceful days simply didn’t exist.
Every day, over a dozen unreported Scarletborns were captured, while Bethan immersed himself in developing blood magic to categorize them. Meanwhile, the Great Elder of the Desert sent nothing but cautionary messages.
On an otherwise monotonous day, something sharp and unexpected pierced the dullness. With a look of irritation, as though pricked by a thorn, Primien asked the Intelligence Agency agent, “... Why is this name on the list?”
"It’s a surveillance and observation list authorized by the higher-ups," the agent in a crisp suit responded, maintaining a formal tone.

"If Iliade had truly crossed the Empress, you’d be dealing with it yourselves. But passing it off to me like this… Was this a favor for the eunuchs?" Primien asked.
The Iliade family wasn’t one the Intelligence Agency could easily touch. The agency did everything in its power to avoid drawing attention to itself, especially when it came to investigating noble families—something they would only attempt under a direct order from the Empress.
"The Intelligence Agency has been conducting its own investigation and surveillance. This isn’t about shifting responsibility but rather a request for cooperation. Should you agree, we’ll provide the necessary documents."
Primien tapped the list with her fingers, signaling her approval. The agent promptly handed over the file.
