Muniang rode hard and fast to reach the border garrison, and thanks to a Hidden Guard leading the way, no one hindered her journey. However, upon hearing her title of General's Wife, many showed a look that seemed sympathetic.
She knew what that look meant. Along the way, many civilians and even soldiers sang of their General taking on a bold and fearless lone assault on the enemy camp for the sake of a beloved woman—Muniang might have been numb with anger, for she showed no reaction whatsoever.
Whispers began to sound from behind her.
"The General's Wife has hurried over? Does she know about the General having someone else in his heart? Truly pitiable."
"Isn't that the truth? She just walked by trying to act composed, pretending as if nothing was wrong. Who knows how upset she must be on the inside!"
