Chapter 350: The Beginning Of The Training
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.
"I’m sorry! I thought I was early! I didn’t know I had to be on the training ground an hour before the designated time!" Anna apologised.
"Since this is your first mistake, I’ll let it slide. Join the line," the second-in-command knight ordered.
Anna nodded and turned, unsure of her place among the sturdy knights standing in a straight line. Eventually, she found a spot next to Eli, positioned at the end of the line on the right side.
"Very well. Before we begin, I will provide a briefing. This training is specifically designed for Lady Raychard. However, as I don’t conduct individual training, it will be conducted as a group, meaning all of you will train together," Eric explained.
