“Well done,” Jente said. She sat on the edge of her luxurious couch bed, combing out her long, dark curls. “Now his royal holiness has a new general.”
Engel said nothing.
Jente arched an eyebrow. “Not pleased at your success?”
“Pleased, yes,” Engel said. He studied his hands. “Just...I cannot forget my past failures.”
“We’re human - it is human to fail.”
“Are we human? Andrev wasn’t human.”
The heart of the matter. Jente said, “He was a person, wasn’t he?”
“I thought so. He was just a boy.”
“What’s done is done. We have a new job to do.”
