*Briella*
The whole way back to the guest house, I had General Tian’s piercing glare in my mind. It caused me to grit my teeth and shudder.
I thought about how he looked at me and wondered why it was just me. He didn’t seem to like Kryzen or the other guys very much either, but he didn’t look at them with nearly as much hatred as he did me.
At first, I wondered if he just had something against women in general. Maybe he didn’t appreciate that I was a female who was essentially attempting to counsel the city’s higher-ups. It would definitely be an ego blow to any misogynistic jerk.
I stared out of the window of the train, watching the city pass by in a glowing blur. It couldn’t just be about me being a girl. The way the general stared at me with his dark, narrowed eyes was eerily familiar. It was as if we had been mortal enemies for a long time.
