"Lieutenant!" A soldier saluted at Hugo as the latter stood before him.
"At ease." Hugo jerked his chin a little. "Enjoy your break."
The firm and strict lieutenant the soldier knew suddenly softened up a little the second they landed in the country. The soldier let out a shallow breath and followed him.
"Sir, will your brothers pick you up?"
Hugo rocked his head. "They must be excited to see me. After all, I hadn't seen them in a while."
"You really have a good relationship, huh?" the soldier was in awe.
Although Hugo was one of the best and the most serious in the base, he would relax whenever he would talk about his family. It wasn't like the other soldiers didn't cherish their families. After all, the soldiers left to serve the country for those they left behind.
It just felt strange to see Hugo's other side.
"My brothers are very fond of me," Hugo uttered calmly. "If you see them crying, ignore them."
