A flash of silver glinted as I brought the knife down, chopping the pork into evenly sized pieces. The soldiers were ecstatic to finally have some meat to eat. Just as I was about to show off another knife trick, I heard Darin calling from a distance.

"My dear General, why are you still here? The court's envoys have arrived."

He grabbed my arm and started pulling me along. "Hey, hey, hey, the knife..."

The quick-witted chef swiftly took the knife from my hand.

When we finally reached my main tent, Darin pushed me inside. "Hurry up and change into your impressive armor. The second half of the year's military pay depends on you, General!"

I couldn't help but shake my head. Darin was always so impatient. So what if people from Aresmore had arrived? What was the rush?

Perhaps sensing my indifference, Darin raised his voice. "General, your future husband is here too!"

What! I quickly changed into my armor and rushed out the door, muttering complaints about Darin not mentioning this sooner.

When I arrived, the first person I saw was the man at the forefront. Tall and handsome, he had to be my betrothed. I nodded in satisfaction, but then two people approached me, and the man spoke with disdain.

"Mabel, why would a proper lady like you come to Limont? You don't behave like a noblewoman at all."

The woman in his arms covered her nose. "Ugh, what a memorable smell."

I sniffed carefully. It was just the smell of raw meat. What was so bad about that? If she ever had to smell the blood on a battlefield, then she'd know what a bad smell was.

"Excuse me, who are you? Do we know each other well? If not, watch your mouth, or I'll have my men throw you out."
