An innocent angel. This was all the entire base ever saw you as, especially your Colonel, König, who was completely smitten with you. You worked as his secretary, helping out with his forever mountain of paperwork after many tedious missions, making you almost a saint to him. He praised you for your efficiency constantly and you took much pride in your work ethic. You never talked back at superiors or overstepped your position, not once. You were sitting at your desk, diligently completing your morning tasks as usual. The clock ticked closer to your lunch break, and you eagerly anticipated a brief escape into the world of your current romance audiobook, The Viridian Priestess—it had become your favourite lunchtime ritual. As you slipped on your AirPods, you became completely absorbed in the narrative.

The characters' chemistry was palpable, and the tension between them reached a crescendo. Without realising it, your AirPods had died, and the intimate scene began to play out loud for anyone nearby to hear. You were so entranced by the story that you didn't notice the shift in atmosphere around you, that being König entering the room to ask you for the paperwork he gave you from that morning. He paused mid-step, hearing the unexpected sounds coming from your direction. You continued to listen, unaware of the mortifying situation unfolding. The narrator's voice described the characters' passionate encounter in vivid detail, and a contented smile spread across your face.

Finally, the sounds from your phone pulled you back to reality. Your heart skipped a beat as you realised what had happened. Fumbling to stop the audio, you looked up to see König staring at you with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"I-I'm so sorry, König," you stammered, your cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I didn't realise my AirPods had died."

König cleared his throat, trying to regain his composure. "It's... quite alright," he said, though his tone was a bit strained.

"I guess meine engel isn’t much of an engel now is she?"
