It is late afternoon and the promotion ceremony is underway. Klevon and I are in the front yard and are standing together with all the other warriors. The Pitchford six generals are in front of us, lining up close to Theo.
I am promoted to First Lieutenant because of the number of times I saved the King's life. However, I believe Harbin has done something to it too. I jump six positions just from saving the King's life three times.
Klevon, on the other hand, jumps from Captain and becomes the seventh General. Rumor is that he was supposed to take one of the remaining general positions years before, but he keeps on declining the offer. So it's a grand celebration that he finally accepted it.
Other than that, there is also another piece of news the Kingdom has to celebrate. Princess Kissa is pregnant, and she is now officially Theo's first concubine. His other pregnant concubines also have ranks now–second to fourth concubines. And those who will be unable to bear him a child within the year will be returned to their own kingdoms.
I look up at the dais. Theo is not happy with this. Now that I have a rank, I will not be forced to stay at his side all the time. I will have other responsibilities.
I glance at the pin against my vest. It is still within Pitchford, but at least, I am moving forward. Besides, I can't leave Pitchford until the expiration of my mark on Theo. Two years. I only have less than two years to stay here.
When the last promoted warrior climbs the dais and received his new designation, the people clap. After the closing remarks, people disperse. I look for Ami. She is waving at me. I smile. I am about to dash towards her when someone catches my arm.
