72 BACK TO THE PALACE

THE agenda for the quarterly meeting today was the same old topic about rebels, dissidents, space pirates, and alien races seen close to the border of the galaxies under the role of the Empire. Wulfric barely listened. 

He truly wondered why they couldn't just have some kind of virtual conference instead of having this face-to-face meeting. It's not like there's a huge difference between the two. They could still discuss whatever they wanted to discuss. The only reason he could think of why they insisted on this kind of meeting was because they wanted to annoy each other.

He hadn't been a general for as long as the other four. In fact, compared to them, he would probably still be considered as a baby chick. After all, they had already passed their hundred years while he just reached his 30th year. And even if he had the title of a 'general', he didn't have a territory that he was required to protect unlike the other four.
