——Commissioner Schneider, request for approval…
——Commissioner, I'd like to file a desertion report…
Julius frowned as he looked down at his phone. He had been explicitly told to take a break, yet ever since assuming the position of Commissioner and effectively taking over Sabine's post, informal reports continued to flood in regardless.
It did not stop.
Not even for a moment.
At last, Julius drew the line.
[Announcement: Commissioner Julius Sebastian Schneider will be taking a one-year leave.]
The notice went out without delay.
Newly appointed as a Directorate Commissioner, Julius was officially stepping away.
After a year spent on an assignment that had dictated the course of nations, he had earned at least that much. The speed with which the Director approved his request only confirmed it.
"Are you sure this is alright?" Julius replied. "What about Anneliese?"
"Hehe." Isolde chuckled. "I asked Mister Dieterich if he could watch her for a few days."
"I see."
