"Can't you walk any faster? I want to get back from the market before it rains," Brianna snapped at her new maid, Ginny. A plump young girl of no more than 14 years old. Ginny had been sent by the Savo Regional Chief's wife as a replacement for Annica.
Annica. Ugh. Remembering that name brought a bitter taste to Brianna's mouth.
Because of that woman, not only had the General stripped her of her position but now she had to leave Savo. Brianna could feel her anger rising again.
Octavianus might be the man behind all this, but he wouldn't have succeeded if it wasn't for Annica. She was like a thorn in her flesh.
But it didn't matter. Brianna took a deep breath and tried to console herself. She still had a week to turn things around. Seven days was enough time to win back the attention of the General and get rid of Annica.
