The Knights of Gerhard lined up on the training ground, forming a single row with their hands clasped behind their backs, legs spaced apart, chests held high, and heads facing forward.
'Drup! Drup! Drup!'
The sound of Eric's heavy boots echoed, crunching on the ground. The second-in-command knight took his place before the other knights, scanning his subordinates with a glance from left and right.
"Now, where is the star of the show?" he inquired, referring to Anna.
"Wait for me!" A voice shouted from afar before anyone could respond. All eyes turned towards the source of the voice.
Anna came sprinting towards them and quickly joined the group. The knights exchanged glances as they observed her. The training hadn't even started yet, but she was already panting from her short run.
"You're late!" Eric's voice carried a stern tone.
