General Sebastian Mila Davies

~~~~~ Milan, Italy ~~~~~

Military base, 4 pm.

20 years passed by like a breeze, some people may see it as a long time others as a mid-time but to Mila, it was a short period. A time that had made her become someone different than she ever imagined she would be, the hurts, the pains, the problems, the suffering, and the happening of all those years was something she had gone through and it had made her who she was today.

Her lips curved up ever so slightly as she received the reward being handed over to her by the Minister of Justice, "For your perseverance and constant support to the military and for being an officer of the Law, standing the country and winning the war for our people. We grant you this reward you are hereby promoted to General." Minister Jonah said with a straight expression.

Mila's expression revealed a grateful smile before it returned to her signature neutral expression, she nodded her head before standing in a still position for the lieutenants to fix her new badge. She salute and bowed at her superiors before matching back to her seat. She was grateful and extremely happy for the current rank she has been given. She had been in the military for 15 years and kept progressing higher than her peers.

"If it isn't General Sebastian Mila Davies, salute ma'am," Lieutenant Charlotte said with a chuckling tone at the end of her voice, her hands raised in salute in a standstill position. Mila rolled her eyes at her friend, she never ceased to cause drama where ever she went. "At ease Lieutenant Charlotte, you may converse freely." She ordered it was a rule here in the military regards of being friends you have to always salute your seniors.

"Ah! Aish! I thought I wasn't going to see you anytime soon, but here you are not a Lieutenant anymore but a General. I feel so proud of you my friend, you make me feel jealous." Charlotte remarked with a cheerful expression as she took her seat beside Mila. Mila rolled her eyes and sighed before picking up her wine and sipping it softly, "I hope you didn't get too disappointed I managed to survive the war?" Mila asked with a mocking tone in her voice.

Charlotte's lips slightly tilted upwards "oh please, I was worried about you I couldn't sleep properly. You were away for two months, I couldn't connect or contact you I had thought you were killed there." Charlotte mumbled with pouted lips. "But turns out you enjoyed not calling me for two months, by the way, why did you volunteer for such a dangerous mission? It could have proved to falter for you." Charlotte added eyeing Mila.

"I was bored at the base, so I decided to volunteer in doing something fun and great. The mission took away my boredom that I even forgot to call you." Mila remarked with a shrug of her shoulders, she was the kind of person who easily got bored staying in one particular place for too long. "Are you saying you went on a mission that could end your life just because you were bored?" Charlotte asked with a bewildered expression.

"Of course yes, it earned me a promotion didn't it?" Mila asked with raised brows at Charlotte, her sapphire green eyes flicked in amusement at Charlotte's reaction. It was always like this Charlotte acted like a mother hen tending to her fragile chick and she ( Mila ) acted like the nonchalant chick getting into more danger. "I can't believe you right now, you have to be crazy," Charlotte muttered sipping her juice. Her face soured into a frown, she didn't like taking juice instead she preferred alcohol.

"You can't spit it out so just swallow it instead, you should have known it was juice," Mila mumbled with a smirk, she knew how much Charlotte hates juice. Charlotte groaned in anger before swallowing it. as military officers they were given the rule to lower their alcohol, it was prohibited at the headquarters and she forgot that. She at least thought she would be getting alcohol since it was a ceremony but turns out the rule was overly strict.

"I hate the headquarters, Ah! Am gonna get stomach cramps today. Why are the superiors so stingy, I should never have come here today." Charlotte muttered with a darkened expression. "Hey! Am a superior I could get you punished for your words." Mila muttered her lips stretched into a smile, she was satisfied at her friend's reaction. It was simply priceless.

"Do whatever you want I'm not scared." Charlotte said still in a bitter mood, then an idea struck her "Hey Mila could you get me to suspend?" She asked with an enthusiastic expression. "Yes, why?" Mila asked turning to gaze at Charlotte with a suspicious expression. "Then can you help me get suspended, so I get to drink all the alcohol I want? Do this for your friend." Charlotte begged with puppy eyes.

@Prettyfavy64.

"That's ridicule Charlotte, how can you beg to be suspended just because of alcohol?" Mila asked eyeing her friend, "I love alcohol and I can do anything for alcohol so help me...." Charlotte begged with a cute expression. "Sorry I can't help you break a rule, there's no special treatment for you," Mila said in a tone that left no space for argument. "I hate you," Charlotte muttered in a choked-up voice.

Mila giggled at her expression, she was just pulling Charlotte's legs but she took it damn seriously. "But we can sneak out, buy some alcohol and sneak them back into our room. Partying all night, that is if you don't hate me." Mila remarked with a solemn tone. Charlotte's eyes quickly widen in surprise she nodded her head vehemently "yes yes yes, we can sneak out. I don't hate you anymore, please let's sneak out." She begged.

"Sneak out? You are sneaking out to where?" A voice asked from behind them. Charlotte and Mila both froze on the spot, they slowly turned backward with dead expressions on their faces.
