Shourya just looked at him for a few minutes, not even sure why he was there in teh first place. He had no real right to even be in his face. Not to mention the man had a look of thunder on his face. It looked like he erupted for some reason.
Just as Shoirya was going to ask what was wrong with the man, he had the reply yelled straight into his face!
"How dare you to talk yo her highness like that! You have no right to speak to her like that! You are her subordinate. It does not matter that you have proved yourself! You are still meant to obey her no matter what! You are a disgrace to that uniform and let alone that! You are a disgrace to the role which you hold! There are much better people to do that job than you!" The man just did not stop for even one breath. He just went on and on, it was like he was repeated outlines he had forcibly memorized into his head.
In a way, he could have won some awards. He did also more or less have a similar position and status to Shourya, so for him, there was nothing that he could do but endure the rant for now. After making sure that he was done filly. Shourya took a minute to think as the lieutenant-general slowly caught his breath back.
Once he was done working out what he was going to say. Shourya slowly spoke back, trying to cause any more offence to the man which had control of around half of the normal army forces which could help Pavitra.
"I speak to her like that, because she allows me to. We knew each other when he was children. But if you find it so offensive I will endeavour to do my best to just speak of this stuff and like this to her behind closed doors where no one cans ee it and so that it causes no offence to anyone at all." Shourya was nodding inside. He felt like he had replied in the perfect way. After all the general was only joining them for now, even if he wanted he was not a true follower of Pavitra. In truth, he was an admirer if anything.
Like so many over soldiers, he admired Pavita's military career. It started off with the battle which would become known as the fiery plans. Though not much is recorded of the fighting except for the end, it is not even know how much formal training she had been given? Just that she burned the battlefield to the ground at the end. The northern duchies never again have regained the military strength which they had within that battle.
The Lieutenant general though, Unlike SHourya thought he achieved by calming him down, only had made him even more angry than he was already. It was like he had set off a powder keg of booze.
The general who was at that moment digging into Shourya once more ha noticed that Pavitra herself had now come round the corner to see what all of the yellings, was about.
Once she saw what was going on, her face was filled with thunder as well. Though it made the generals face looked like a little spark in comparison to her own.
Slowly she walked closer and closer to the two. Shourya had noticed her not long after she arrived, the general though has not noticed a thing. Not even when she was right behind him had he noticed a thing.
Some people would normally at least notice when someone else had aimed the group, but the general was so into his rant that he had no idea.
That was until though that Pavitra herself decided to intervene with the whole thing.
"General! What the hell are you doing?!" Her sharp yell caused not only the general to be startled debut a good part of the camp to be scared as well. Soon enough soldiers and normal people had begun to see what was going on with the whole thing. Pavitra did not care about them all though if anything having them all ere now would save her some more time in the future.
"General. I am the one who decides if it is right for how my people to talk to me! NOT YOU! You are here as our helped and aide. You are not a part of our camp! If you wish to be a part of our camp, you must register with the military board and make a formal request. Until you do, you may not interfere with any of this. This is my land. Not yours. This is my man. Not yours! Now begone"
The poor general was so scared that his legs were shaking and it was not just that though, it looked like some kind of liquid had been revealed around the groin area. He had done this in front of a massive crowd.
He was not just scared but now embarrassed as well. He has made himself a fool in front of the women he admired and all of the people who she led. This was a disgrace for him. He would never be able to live this down that was for sure.
Taking the chance that he had given him. He escaped from her and the massive crowd that was now with her. He swore revenge to himself though, to get back at her for this. No matter how long he would have to wait. He would have it one day.
Not long after this had happened, Pavitra who was now just sitting in her tent thinking what she wanted to drink. Received a message. The general had taken all of his soldiers and left the encampment going back to the fort. Although she was disappointed that he had done this, she could say that she was surprised.
"It matter's not. Not now." She said this out loud to no one in particular, though little did she know. That the tent has ears...
