Only a true king can pull out the sword, and only the strongest knights of England can sit at this round table.
—Thomas Malory, "Death of King Arthur"
Field sat beside Arthur, looking noticeably older compared to when Arthur first knew him.
Though he was clearly also a young man under 30, he always exuded a sense of fading heroism.
Just like Officer Colly and other subordinates from the Criminal Investigation Department would privately complain, this once promising deputy minister seemed to sneeze out a room full of decay.
A few years ago, he was a reputable and upright officer in Scotland Yard, a skilled investigator multiple times commended by the Home Office. How did he change so much in just a few short years?
Field's downfall was closely tied to the departure of his mentor, Sir Arthur Hastings, from Scotland Yard.
