Promotion and Farewell

-Johan Anderson-

The morning sun illuminated the castle courtyard, casting long, warm shadows over the cadets undergoing their routine drills. Though not explicitly ordered, most of them had grown accustomed to the strict military discipline, displaying high levels of commitment and dedication.

On the other side of the courtyard, Prince Philip and I, Johan Anderson, stood dressed impeccably. Our robes, embroidered with gold and silver, glistened under the sunlight, adding an aura of honor to the morning event. We were prepared to commend the hard work of all the cadets and bid farewell to Major Hawk.

Prince Philip stood tall beside me, his face a mix of pride and sadness. I could sense how significant this moment was for all of us.

"Cadets!" Prince Philip called out, his voice firm yet emotional. "Today, we gather to acknowledge your hard work and dedication over the past month. You have shown remarkable spirit, perseverance, and bravery."
