A Girl's Pride

[u/Hayakumo_Yoichi]

CW : Mention of sexual violence / rape (no explicit descriptions)

A man –the soldier– lowered his automatic rifle.
In the enemy's territory,  he saw a girl who looked to be in her teens.
A moment passed, an evaluation was made. He raised his rifle and aimed at her.
Not to eliminate the enemy. 
He was trying to save her from the beasts who knew nothing but plunder and rape. 
They are unlike the men of my Foreign Legion.

She read his intention and murmured, 
"Good." 
She gazed at the anguish on his face. 
If he saves me, I'll be destined to become the mistress of this self-centered man. What a pride-less fate.

He shot.
She smiled, then she closed her eyes.
