Because I'm not quite sure someone could climb the ranks that fast, even if they're that good, just because of the amount of other things that would be involved. But I'm also kind of a military brat, and even in old times there's been a lot connected to rising through the ranks. Status, wealth, and even lots of behind the scenes politics. So while, yes, it does stretch credulity, I have a hard time even with this believing she managed to rise to one of THE highest military ranks in less than a year just because she happened to be a good assassin. She would still be a relative unknown with no known heritage and I don't see someone just recklessly promoting someone like that when she could easily be a spy and the position of general would afford her access to things she could feed her superiors.

Someone who leads needs to have leadership skills and be good at directing people, too. Nothing in this song tells us she was good at anything besides killing and following orders--the direct OPPOSITE of what she'd need as a general. Good for a soldier, but not a leader. So she'd need time to learn those skills. Unless she was somehow, despite being raised the way she was, a complete and total NATURAL at leading.

Basically, I have a lot of reasons to want the timeline clarified that I think are reasonable even in Evillious.
