As there was no war imminent, Engel decided the best way to find himself a spot with the local military was to earn it. By sacrificing Jente, of course. She got into a fight with some local guards, and when other guards showed up to arrest her, their comrades had to confess their humiliation at having been beaten by so delicate a boy. Jente murmured that her master had taught her to fight so as to protect herself while on his business, and then the curiosity came.
“Who is your master?”
She suspected that question would haunt her for years.
