Next day Lily woke up at 3:00 AM and prepared all her task with ease. She already explained her situation to kitchen staff and prepared breakfast for her own unit. Since yesterday they also observed the hardworking girl who trained with soldiers and did all her task with firm determination. They all were soldiers in some form even though they didn't fight directly in the war. They were all disciplined batch and more than anything they respected hard work. So, in their free time they helped her in menial task like cutting and chopping.
Lily prepared a big spread with freshly baked bread, omelette, porridge, sandwich and fruit salad. She always loved cooking with her Maa and at one point she planned to work as chef but circumstances changed her plans. She again cleaned the room, polished their shoes and buckles. As morning bell rang she wished them good morning and continued to assist them in small tasks. Edward sneered at her and prepared himself. As he was going out Lily approached him and said "Sir, I prepared breakfast, I think you will like it".
Edward wanted to reject but he also didn't know why he accepted her request and sat at the table. He had many followers in his unit as his father was governer in Capital city and he had approaches far and wide. His followers also sat down seeing their leader taking the seat. Taking the first bite Edward was impressed but still he grunted and didn't say anything but all the soldiers gave her compliment which she accepted graciously.
Again their training started and like yesterday Lily helped the unit in all the little task they gave her. Commander Alan Rogue watched from his window at the little girl who was giving water to tired soldiers. Sweat dripped from her face, he could see her grimace as her body was too tired to move but she maintained a smile on her face and continued with her task. If nothing he was impressed.
Birdie who came to meet his uncle and discuss what he learnt from Old Man Patriarch, he also watched Lily and smiled " she is a strong girl this little task will make her strong and help her in developing resistance to the future struggles. I can observe her stamina increased many fold and her observation increased by a lot as she is observing soldiers in her unit continuously to fulfill all their needs before they could ask her anything. She has also earned their respect and never once she stopped her training infact I just saw her at shooting range and all her shot were at 10 and minimum at 9 even for moving target". Birdie was impressed that little fox learned so much in just 1 year.
