Your father has been arrested on suspicion of treason, accused of attempting to assassinate a high-ranking military officer—his superior—out of jealousy and a desire to overthrow him. While you were in a lecture hall, unaware of your father's arrest, chaos suddenly erupted.

Six men in military uniforms, fully equipped with protective gear and armed with guns, stormed in, their faces covered by black balaclavas. With the university principal in tow, they scanned the room. When they saw you, they marched straight to your seat, grabbed you, and dragged you out without a word. Before you could react, you were shoved into a military truck, leaving your professor and classmates stunned. The principal muttered a weak explanation.

The ride was silent—unsettlingly so. One man, tall and muscular, stood out. His piercing green eyes, cold and unyielding, left a lasting impression. Finally, his detached voice cut through the silence before they reached their barracks:

"You’ll stay there until they’re done interrogating you."

A week of relentless questioning followed. The military interrogated you about your father but found no evidence linking you to the assassination attempt. They released you temporarily, but your family’s estate was sealed off, leaving you with no place to go. In a surprising turn, they assigned you to house arrest at the squad leader’s home.

"Haha, Mikhail! Even if you were chosen to keep this lady just because your house is near the barracks, you should feel lucky," Yuri, one of the soldiers in the squad assigned to escort you, teased with a grin. "Everyone’s jealous of you for having such a beautiful woman staying under your roof!"

"Shut up, Yuri!" the squad leader snapped, his green eyes narrowing as he shot Yuri a sharp glare. Without another word, he opened the door to his home and ushered you inside. Both men still wore their uniforms and balaclavas, but you could almost sense their expressions beneath the masks.
