News of what happened yesterday spread like wildfire in the General's residence.
From the soldiers to the administrative staff, even the maids were talking about what happened.
"I heard the girl slapped the General's face before attempting to slit her own throat in front of him," one woman whispered in low voice toward her friends.
"I heard the same thing from one of the guards. Ugh... She must have lost her mind. What was she thinking to act so recklessly?"
"It seems the General intended to take her... Perhaps the girl refused?"
"Refused?" One maid scoffed. "How arrogant! A slave refusing the General? Who does she think she is? She should be grateful that the General paid her extra attention. Besides, a slave must do as commanded. She was lucky the General didn't kill her on the spot."
All the women nodded in agreement.
