Chapter 2: A Star In The Night Sky
Keira couldn’t hide her excitement as soon as the ceremony ended.
She almost ran to where her father was. Her stolen gazes never left Gen. Zacharias "Zach" Lim.
She coughed demurely, so her father would notice her presence from his back.
"Oh... my daughter is here. Come dear, and let me introduce you to the best officers in our country." The Field Marshall announced proudly and introduced Keira to other newly appointed officers.
Keira gave her sweetest and best smile to all the officers. Her father almost introduced her to all the officers around, old and young, except for the person she wanted.
After a while, her eyes went back to her target, as she stole glances at General Zach’s spot every now and then. She was an expert at that, stealing glances in a very subtle way.
Her smiling face started crumpling while she showed her hazardous aura to her dad, using her expressive eyes.
’What is this? Is this intentional Dad?’ She asked her father with her eyes, and she was answered by his wicked smile.
’I know what you want! You behave first, and wait until I introduce you! Act properly as a Field Marshal’s daughter, be prim and proper!’ Her father scolded her just with his gaze.
