"Explain." Jake frowned. "The order to report to the Ironsoul Berserker army quarters only came yesterday. Could Cho Min Ho have interfered to assign us here? I thought Ceythie was surprised to see me here this morning. And before bumping into his subordinates yesterday, he shouldn't have had any idea where I was, which would explain why he distributed sketches of me to all his officers."
"Unlikely," the Soulmancer refuted firmly. "He might be the official stand-in for the Soulmancer King for now, but even the real Soulmancer King has limited authority over how each Great General runs their army. If your assignment here this morning isn't a coincidence and your identity hadn't yet been exposed, then it must be Ledger who's pulled strings for you, recommending you according to the criteria she set herself."
