"Huh!?" Adria looked left and right, but could not find his plate of food. He even checked underneath the table, however it was not there. It was at this moment he noticed that everyone in the mess was on their feet while he was still sitting. But he was none the wiser of what was going on.
"Do you have no respect!?"
Adria looked at the source of the voice. It was Helen and his bowl of apple pie was in her hands.
In a country such as this where the monarchy ruled, it was customary for Soldiers to salute when nobles and royals made a passing.
As promised the night before, Sasha had taken Helen to see around the Citadel. The moment she entered the Mess all the soldiers had taken to their feet and saluted. It was also at this time that Adria had placed the first spoon of apple pie in his mouth.
