บท 65: MY PARTNER

To be honest, Leon was confused. He didn't really expect to be assigned a mission by the academy 

"Forgive me, Deputy Director, but I don't understand what you mean and why you need me. If it is a dangerous task, wouldn't it be better for you to have more qualified people work on it?" 

All Max did was sigh, "Yes, we can, but that would take away the atmosphere of comfort that we are trying to project to our guest or your colleague."

Leon replied, "You mean that this man, who will be my partner, must be protected by me in critical moments."

All Max did was smile and said, "Not as a man, but a girl from another empire."

When Leon heard that, he was frozen in his tracks, "What do you mean, a girl from another empire? They're not supposed to meet until the annual competition. Has something changed? Damn it."
