THEATRE OF WAR (2)

"COMMANDER Lewis, how do we proceed now that Trevor Kesser has left?" Paige asked Lewis. She noticed that the fox boy frowned, and that made her smile a little. "I know you don't like the word 'commander' because it reminds you of Princess Neoma's lover, but that's your title, Commander. Our Order has been official for quite some time now."

Juri, who heard their conversation, laughed. "Oh, Commander. Are you still jealous of Commander Ruto?"

Lewis just frowned further.

"Hey, don't put him down," Jeno scolded Juri. "Lewis is the strongest among us, but he's still a child. Princess Neoma is his first love and first heartbreak, so don't tease him." He then turned to Lewis and tapped his back awkwardly. "It's alright, Commander. I'm sure you'll find the right person for you soon."

Lewis knitted his eyebrows, obviously starting to get irritated.

Paige only watched the kids in amusement.

[They're cute.]
