However, the occupation continued and—even though the resistance was starting to show signs of weakening—soldiers continued to die. The most significant piece of news was that Ortho—that important military official and war hero, who had already survived a number of assassination attempts—had finally been assassinated. He was killed during his own wedding, by a musician.

The war continued apace: like a lunatic, or maybe like some other thing.

CHAPTER XV

1

Margha Walser wouldn’t be considered a pretty woman, but she wasn’t completely uninteresting.

Margha had black hair, which was perhaps too long for someone her age, and buttocks that were too big for the average male taste, but her firm-looking breasts compensated for that slightly “unfortunate feature,” if one can call it that. She had light-colored eyes, and even though she wasn’t a tall woman, she was almost the same height as Walser, which had always sort of bothered her, although she wasn’t conscious of it. For Margha, tallness was emblematic of the man who could protect her in any situation.
