The barracks buzzed with energy. Soldiers stood in formation, their posture less about discipline and more about anticipation.
Their captain paced in front of them, barking orders. "Alright, soldiers! Today, we have an official visit from our young master, Javier De Armand! I want everyone on their best behavior!"
However, the soldiers weren't exactly thrilled about their young master. Instead, murmurs rippled through the ranks, excitement growing for a different reason.
"I heard the head of the household maids is visiting!" one soldier whispered, barely containing his grin.
"Not just her! I bet there'll be a whole entourage of maids!" another chimed in, polishing his breastplate with vigor.
"I wonder which one is super hot!" a third added, slicking his hair back as if preparing for a ball instead of a formal inspection.
The captain stopped mid-pace, glaring at the commotion. "What are you all fussing about? This is an official visit! Focus!"
