Kilmainham Prison was located in Marn District, separated by two large districts from Val de Vaz District.
The speed of the carriage was not fast, and Charles napped briefly on the carriage before he heard the coachman carefully remind him, "Mister, we have arrived at Kilmainham Prison."
Charles alighted from the carriage, his face lit with a smile as he bid farewell to the coachman and hurried towards Kilmainham Prison. He presented an introduction letter to the prison guard and smiled, "This is an identity verification issued by the Central Governnt Office. I am Charles klen, here to perform so assistance work."
The prison guard carefully examined the letter, returned it to Charles, and said with respect, "Mister cklen, please proceed straight to the first office building and inquire for Mada Pascal. She will take you to et Miss nilman."
Charles's smile stiffened a bit as he asked, "I am to assist Miss nilman? Which miss is that?"
The prison guard revealed a proud smile, answering, "Indeed, it's the Empire's First Rose, Miss nilman."
Charles did not dare to inquire further and rushed into Kilmainham Prison, easily locating the first office building, where under the guidance of Mada Pascal, he entered a separate office and t the legendary Empire's First Rose.
nilman was a legend of the Empire.
She was unrivalled in beauty, but her status as the finest female representative of the Empire was not rely due to her looks; this miss was a High Order Transcendent, exceedingly rare throughout the entire Empire, her Fighting Spirit refined and profound.
The miss wore an Empire military uniform, blooming like a rose in full swing, her beautiful and watery eyes swirling with anger, her body's Fighting Spirit so intense it nearly ignited.
Several clerks within the room were all quivering with fear, and the office's floor was scattered with dozens of docunts, making the room sowhat ssy.
Charles could not afford to steal glances at the beauty of the Empire's First Rose, instead nodding slightly to his colleagues in the room and hurriedly picking up the docunts from the floor to start his work.
Having experienced the allure of internet beauties in his past life, even though Miss nilman's beauty was flawlessly perfect from every angle, it still wasn't enough to shake a man who had lived through two lifetis at the Central Governnt Office.
On the way here, Charles had taken the ti to read the content of the letters; besides proving his identity, it briefly described his task—to assist in organizing the case files at the Kilmainham Prison office.
As everyone knows, the best way to alleviate awkwardness in the office is to pretend to be very busy, or to actually be very busy.
Although Charles studied Mathematical Education at college and had only superficial knowledge of Statistics, Archival Science, and Library Science, he still managed to exhibit his talent in this ancient country, busying himself quickly with organizing all the docunts from the floor and office desk.
nilman had suppressed her anger since Charles entered and coldly observed this calm clerk.
Once Charles had organized the docunts, she finally asked, "I need to know what happened on March 18th?"
Charles calmly responded, "There are twenty-eight docunts related to March 18th, spread across four years. Does Miss nilman need all the information, or just for a certain year?"
"Black Moon Era thirty-one."
"Twenty-one docunts in total."
"Bring them all out."
Charles's expression remained unchanged, but he was nearly overwheld inside, having seen things in the docunts that he should not have seen during his previous sorting.
When he fetched the twenty-one docunts, nilman snatched them with a burst of bright flas from her hands.
The flas of Fighting Spirit ignited, and in a mont, all the docunts were reduced to ashes. She clapped her hands and said, "Now, find the files related to the Night Window incident."
Without a word, Charles, following the miss's command, easily located seven docunts.
nilman glanced at the other clerks in the room and said, "You may leave now."
The clerks, as if granted amnesty, looked gratefully at Charles and filed out of the room one after the other.
nilman said, "Organize all the docunts in this room. I need all the files concerning Zimrman Axel Robin."
Charles glanced at the several large filing cabinets in the office and replied lightly, "Alright."
At the sa ti, he mumbled to himself, "The docunts from this era are indeed scarce." As a high school math teacher, he had gathered more papers in a sester than all the docunts in this room.
nilman incessantly issued commands.
Charles always completed them perfectly, and soon the docunts in the room were reorganized. He also learned many secrets that were not ant for him, such as...
Well, better not to entertain such thoughts in front of Miss nilman.
Too... sordid.
nilman destroyed dozens of docunts, glanced at the sunset outside, and asked, "Which agency sent you here as a clerk?"
Charles answered with neither humility nor arrogance, "Central Governnt Office."
"What is your na?"
"Charles cklen."
"Which college did you graduate from?"
Charles lifted his head, his tone light yet filled with undisguised pride, and answered, "Sheffield University!"
nilman finally showed a slight emotion and asked, "Sheffield University?"
Charles briefly replied, "Yes."
The lady known as The Empire's First Rose showed the first smile since Charles entered the office, saying, "I am your senior."
Charles also returned the smile, saying, "Sheffield University, graduate of the year Black Moon thirty-three, Charles greets his senior."
The education of the Empire was divided into six levels: elentary, secondary, higher, public schools, National Academy, and Imperial Universities.
To complete higher education was already a rare accomplishnt in society; a poor family that managed to educate a child to that level could proudly declare they had leaped social classes.
Public schools, typically funded by nobles, had graduates that were distinctly separate from commoners.
The National Academy was even acclaid to serve the Royal Family and the Empire!
It mainly trained entry-level talents for various levels of governnt, with unimaginable benefits for graduates.
This was roughly akin to the treatnt of university students in the five or six decades before Charles crossed over to this world.
As for the Imperial Universities, they were nothing like the universities on Earth.
There was a common saying in the educational field of the Empire: "The National Academy serves the Royal Family and the Empire, while the Imperial Universities serve the divine. Each university represents the care of a deity, making the graduates' status imnsely prestigious."
That was also why Charles was able to work at the Central Governnt Office, earn a high salary in the Empire, and have annual leave.
Because he graduated from Sheffield University.
One of the re four universities in the Fars Empire.
nilman nodded and smiled, extending her right hand downwards.
Charles gently picked up the right hand with both of his and lightly touched her slender fingertips with his forehead.
In the Empire, this was an important ritual, signifying that from then on, the man and the woman had ford a pure friendship.
