"That's enough, Beckington. Everyone, have a seat. I apologize for my tardiness, but I had a prior engagement to attend to. I also have another after this, so let's try to solve this as quickly as possible," Tidas stated as he took a seat next to Noah.
General Beckington scoffed derisively, then sat down with everyone else. Tidas locked eyes with him until he looked away and straightened up. The six Generals in front of him except for Noah were all nobles, and each had an extreme sense of entitlement. They were the heads of their families, and all thought that their say was final.
Timothy Beckington was part of Marco's inner circle, and felt that his authority rivaled Tidas' in military matters. Marco often called upon him to do troop and ammunition counts, to double-check Tidas' records. He held no actual authority other than his designated rank allotted him, but acted like he did because he had the Future King's ear and support.
