A Star In The Night Sky

Keira couldn't hide her excitement as soon as the ceremony ended.

She almost ran to where her father was. Her stolen gazes never left Gen. Zacharias "Zach" Lim.

She coughed demurely, so her father would notice her presence from his back.

"Oh… my daughter is here. Come dear, and let me introduce you to the best officers in our country." The Field Marshall announced proudly and introduced Keira to other newly appointed officers.

Keira gave her sweetest and best smile to all the officers. Her father almost introduced her to all the officers around, old and young, except for the person she wanted.

After a while, her eyes went back to her target, as she stole glances at General Zach's spot every now and then. She was an expert at that, stealing glances in a very subtle way.

Her smiling face started crumpling while she showed her hazardous aura to her dad, using her expressive eyes.

'What is this? Is this intentional Dad?' She asked her father with her eyes, and she was answered by his wicked smile.

'I know what you want! You behave first, and wait until I introduce you! Act properly as a Field Marshal's daughter, be prim and proper!' Her father scolded her just with his gaze.

They often did that, and it was practically normal for their tandem of father and daughter. She was her daddy's girl, and they could understand each other, by just looking at each other's eyes, no words needed. Even her Mom was amazed at how they did the eye talking.

Her Mom would always complain, asking if they had some kind of telepathic powers since she couldn't relate anything, while the father and daughter could understand each other well-without even talking.

Keira narrowed her eyes, as her face totally crumpled with annoyance, but still, she followed her father's arrangement and directed her sweetest smile on him. She talked demurely to other officers to kill time.

"Field Marshal's daughter is really beautiful and smart. I'm sure, many men are going to flock at your door, dear, to ask for your hand once you turn 21," commented one of her father's Senior Officers.

Keira gave them a genuine smile as she said, "Thank you for your compliment Sir. As much as possible, I want to have someone as good as my father, who is responsible enough to take good care of his family."

The senior and young officers laughed, as one of the elders spoke, "Oh no, no one here could be compared to your dad, so far all the young officers in here don't have a chance then..."

The elder paused for a second and suddenly stared at someone at a distance, as he added, "Oh, I think we have one here..."

Everybody shifted their gazes to where the elder officer's eyes were fixed. Almost all of the officers nodded in unison, while another senior spoke.

"Yeah, General Zach is definitely someone comparable to the Field Marshall. He's like the young version of our Field Marshall… he will fit well as the young Miss's partner."

Keira showed a full-lipped smile, with a glimpse of her pretty white teeth. While her cheeks were deep red, because of coyness that added more glow to her aura.

Both high-ranked and young soldiers gasped at her alluring reaction, as admiration could have been seen on their faces.

However, no one had enough courage to talk to her, except the seniors at the same age as her father, who treated her as a daughter.

Keira was like a star in the night sky. She was beyond their reach, like a star which they could appreciate on by looking at.

Physically, she was perfect, as a dream of any man.

She had sharp and defined facial features, especially the eyes, lips, brow, and nose. She dressed well, and her outfit emphasized her amazing, hourglass shape figure, fit and curvy with her amazing legs.

Keira was considered a Princess or even better, than a Princess. She was the only daughter of the Field Marshal, the only heiress of the construction business ruler Chan Family's wealth and power.

Keira directly looked at the spot, where General Zach was this time around, and coincidentally the young General turned his head towards her and their eyes met.

Without blinking an eye, Keira looked intensely as she quickly blinked an eye at him and smiled seductively…

Unexpectedly, Zach walked towards her, with an expressionless face.

'Got you, babe!' Keira murmured inwardly as she continued smiling at him seductively.

Her heartbeat was pumping wildly, as Zach was almost near her. She was about to say hello to him when a girl passed by from her back and suddenly pounced into his embrace.

Unconsciously, her seductive smile suddenly turned into a wry one.

Field Marshal Chan was observing his daughter from a distance. He noticed how Keira's eyebrow arched.

Then, he looked at Zach, as he shook his head and murmured, "Poor guy…"

He was happy with the good eyesight of his daughter for a man, but at the same time, he pitied his favorite soldier, who would be the new apple of the eye of his daughter.

In the eyes of everyone, who didn't know her closely, she was a reflection of the prim and proper woman.

But in reality, Keira was the most stubborn, witty, and naughty person you could ever meet, and so far, her parents and a few of her closest friends were the only ones, who knew about it.

She could have got everything she wanted with just a snap of her fingers. She had her ways on everything… even her parents couldn't do anything about it…
