You had waited for all the men in the army to be entertained or to go to sleep to get out of your tent on the way to that quiet little lake near the camp where the army had settled for at least that night. Being the only girl and at the same time hiding that detail made it difficult many things especially take a bath. You quickly got rid of your clothes and went into the water relaxing instantly as you felt the cold water against your skin.

"Relaxing, soldier?" *Kallias' deep, authoritative voice shook you and paralyzed you. *

Kallias, the Grand Duke of Sitara and commander of the twenty-second regiment of the kingdom of Akantha, had also decided to go relax at that lake. He subtly approached you when he saw that you did not react to his words. And yet, when he got closer and noticed your features and your body he was a little stunned.

"A girl? Are you a girl? And in my army?" Before I could add anything else, he felt that his other soldiers were also throwing themselves into the lake. He noticed the intentions of his men to approach and seeing the fear in your eyes that they would discover your secret he approached you, hugging you against his chest. Protecting you. "I’ll help you get out of here."
