Daring thoughts
Soon, Isla knocked on Matt's door, and when she heard his voice allowing her to enter, she rushed in.
"Matt!" She said happily and jumped on him.
"Thank you so much, Matt, thank you!" She was immensely grateful to him for giving her that opportunity.
To her, it felt amazing to stand in front of the King and have him enshrine her as an Army Brigadier General.
That's more incredible than she ever imagined she could achieve.
After all, even the winner of the Battle of Halls at the First Academy would be below her in rank.
In fact, she was astonished to watch so many people in the military who had done so much more than her be jealous of her.
Naturally, that made her feel unworthy, but she still knew that if her confidence waned, she would throw away the 'sacrifice' Matt had made to grant her this rank.
