Brianna, still unsatisfied with the Commander's response, continued her protest.
"But— but this girl doesn't know the General's habits. What if she makes a mistake?"
Octavianus didn't answer. He just turned to Annica and snapped, "What are you waiting for? Gather yourself and follow me."
"Y-yes, Commander," Annica nodded. Shaking and trembling, she forced her shaky body to rise.
