Scarlet Fate

08: Training part 01

Akane's POV

Waking up early in the morning, I noticed a tray beside my bed, I got up and Yuni told me.

"Good morning Akane."

I yawned and replied.

"Good morning Yuni."

I went down stairs, washed my face and ate breakfast, while eating I can see Yuni wearing an apron, noticing my stare smiled back and said.

"I asked the receptionist if I could help out with the kitchen work, he said that they needed more helpers, so they gladly let me work here."

I took a sip from the cup of milk and told Yuni jokingly.

"That apron looks good on you Yuni."

Yuni covered her face with the tray in her hand, her face blushing as she replied shyly.

"I-Is that so?"

I giggled and nodded, as I'm eating my food, I asked Yuni if she enjoys her current job, in response to my question, she smiled brightly and nodded.

After finishing my meal, I took my things, patted Yuni's head and told her.

"If something happens, don't hesitate to tell me okay?"

Yuni nodded and I left the inn, whilst Yuni went to the kitchen.

Traversing the busy streets of Dalen, I finally arrived at Faramort Base after an hour of walking.

Upon arriving at the entrance, a soldier ran up to me, he saluted and told me.

"The Captain is waiting for you in her quarters."

The soldier escorted me to Chiharu's quarters, on the way I noticed some soldiers stared at me while whispering something on each other's ears.

I ignored them and followed my escort, upon entering her quarters, Chiharu turned to the soldier behind me and told him.

"You may take your leave."

The soldier saluted and left the quarters, Chiharu smiled at me and said.

"Please sit down."

Complying to her demand I sat down the chair, a maid placed a plate of cookies beside me, I turned to Chiharu in wonder and asked.

"Why am I being served cookies?"

"Eat up, we have much to discuss."

The maid gave me a cup of warm milk, I smiled and told her.

"Thank you."

She giggled at my remark, with a warm smile she replied.

"You're welcome milady."

I took a sip of milk and stuffed a cookie n my mouth, after finishing the food on the table, Chiharu smiled and told me with a confident tone.

"I'm assigning you as my adjutant, secretary and personal guard, you will receive basic combat training, basic military tactics training, and document management training."

Chiharu stared at me with her fierce and cold glare, until her normal warm and soft expressions, realizing my position I simply nodded.

"Your identity would be that of a fourth daughter of a lower class noble, training to become a knight. Don't worry I've already arranged all the necessary paperwork, now go to the armory, get some equipment and you will begin your training."

The maid rang a bell, in less than a minute knocking could be heard on the door.

"Come in"

Chiharu said, and a young man entered, he gave his salute and asked while shaking.
