I Was Mistaken as a Great War Commander

The atmosphere shifted in an instant.

As a spy with years of experience, Lucy instinctively understood.

Though Selvia was smiling playfully, her true intentions were far from innocent—her gaze was as cold and calculating as ice.

This is dangerous.

A single misstep in her words, and she could very well lose her life.

Sensing Lucy’s tension, Selvia slowly straightened herself.

"I’ll be honest. I had the Intelligence Bureau conduct a little background check on you. And I came across some rather odd discrepancies."

The smile faded from Selvia’s lips, replaced by a look of curiosity.

"Why is it that Lieutenant Lucy never interacted with the people of the nearby village? Strangely enough, none of the villagers seem to know anything about you."

"That’s…."

Stay calm.

If she answered as she had been trained, there would be nothing for Selvia to latch onto.

"As a child, I was afraid of people. I had been abandoned by my parents and raised by my grandfather. On top of that, he always warned me never to leave the cabin."

"Why?"

"There were many wild animals outside, and my grandfather did not get along well with the villagers. He was worried they might harm me as well."@@novelbin@@

Lucy smoothly explained her circumstances without falling into Selvia’s trap.
