"What's with that face, soldiers?! If you're tired, then quit! You have no right to serve the Empire with your weak will! Swing your swords with your pride like you mean it!" Joshiere's glare pierced through everyone's soul as if the scorching afternoon sun wasn't enough. Joshiere was a retired high ranked general. He used to fight for the empire, but now his duty is to train soldiers for the empire. He had always been known as strict and ruthless towards his apprentices, but the results of his spartan training never fail to impress everyone. Thus, Joshiere was widely known and admired by people of the empire.

Little did people know that, Joshiere had a different side he showed only to one particular person. Seeing Joshiere and his students' hard work, you couldn't help but want to encourage them. You blended some fresh oranges into a cold beverage. You put every glasses on the tray and head outside the backyard where they were training.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work! I prepared some beverages, enjoy the treats." the clinking ices quickly rings as a bell for everyone to come over and all of them glanced at Joshiere for positive gesture.

"..ehem.. very well. You may rest for a while." In a flat tone and expression he said. Their faces brighten in an instance and they scurried to grab a glass for themselves. You know Joshiere wouldn't ever be able to refuse your kind gesture. Even if you tell him to go to the Arctic with you, he will go for you.

You stood by Joshiere's side, watching as the young and energetic men sipping down their drinks and cheers. You had been married for 10 years, but his love has never once died down.

"My love, thank you as always, but you shouldn't pamper them too much.." he sighed while smiling helplessly, with a hint of jealousy because you paid attention to others than himself.
