Chapter Six: Tabitha Will Read to Me at Bedtime

IT’S a ten-day march from the capital to the site of the joint exercise on the allied country’s border. In addition to the three days planned for the exercise and a fourth for rest, the militaries’ leaders will spend two in conference, so our stay will span a total of six days. All in all, the whole assignment is to last just under a month.

Since we are convening as allies, those ranked captain or above enjoy quarters separate from the rest of the soldiers, which is a relief: Haydn isn’t allowed to enter. Thankfully, she hasn’t tried to speak to me, though her pointed gaze annoys me enough.

A superior cheerfully informed me over lunch that Haydn has decided to retire from the military after the assignment. He relayed the message while absently stroking his stomach, and I wondered if she’d messed up elsewhere as well.

As expected, the exercise progresses smoothly, accompanied by news that the meeting between the higher-ups concluded without a hitch. And yet…

“Wanna go home now…” I groan.

“Sure, yes, of course,” says Rodney consolingly. “No need to look so down. His Excellency is calling you.”

I straighten and walk toward a beckoning General Whittington.

Several men, laughing and chatting, surround him, and I recognize them as senior officers from the allied military. We greet one another, and the conversation soon turns to congratulations on my marriage.

“Why didn’t you mention this last year?” someone asks.

“It’s a private matter, and we’d not had our official ceremony yet,” I reply.

“The general couldn’t make it last year either, but I heard rumors throughout high society. The stubborn soldier who’d fallen for a young bride.”

“She looks young, but she’s an adult,” I state.

“So you don’t deny falling for her?”

“It is the truth.”

We did attend a few social events to keep up appearances and show that we are happily wed, so I expected some gossip. But it seems to have gotten a little out of hand—I never thought the news would make it to other countries! My body warms and I hope the heat is not apparent on my face.

“Viscountess Noel is beautiful, with striking red hair and golden eyes,” adds the general with a small smirk. “And she’s very cute when she speaks.”

Ever since their first meeting, he has routinely asked after Abigail, inquiring not about her Gift or skills but purely because he seems to have taken a liking to her. Of course, he was the one who initially proposed our engagement, so his interest in how we’re faring is natural.

For example, while the assignment includes training on our march to and from the capital, I’m also currently on a mission for Prince Dominic and have been excused from the drills on the way back. The general has always been supportive of me like that.

“What? Golden eyes? As expected of Your Excellency, you’ve noted an incredibly auspicious omen,” exclaims one of the allied lieutenant generals.

“Auspicious?”

“My hometown’s just across the border from here, and we believe golden eyes lucky.
