The General Is Now My Husband

Synopsis

I was a low-ranking soldier in the Sterling Regiment, a short and skinny one. They said I had survived all these years by staying vigilant. They didn't know that three years earlier, I had saved the Sterling family's heir, Edward Sterling, by the river. He'd been watching out for me ever since. I was timid as a mouse, and I shook at the sight of blood, so he pulled me off the front lines. I couldn't get out of bed for night duty, so he let me sleep in his room. I planned to keep this going until the new king took the throne, and then I could go home and see my mother. But Edward started to look at me with stranger and stranger expressions. One night, a soldier got drunk and mumbled that Edward had taken a fancy to me and would keep me as his lover. Edward laughed, "If Logan Quinn were a woman, I'd marry her." Then he turned to look at me, the light in his eyes brighter than the stars. People laughed and drank, but only my cheeks burned hot. They didn't know I really was a woman.
