The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 577

Chapter 577

Lieutenant Colonel Capra suddenly softened his expression, "Have you been tired these past couple of days?"

Arabella looked a bit puzzled and slowly replied, "Not tired."

With a sigh of relief, Lieutenant Colonel Capra said, "That's good. Who's your instructor?" He turned to Lieutenant Madden for answers.

Lieutenant Madden was completely clueless, not understanding why the usually stern Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so kind to this girl. Did she hold some special status?

"Reporting to Lieutenant Colonel Capra, I am Arabella's instructor, Jerome," Jerome saluted as he spoke, his eyes filled with confusion as he too didn't understand why Lieutenant Colonel Capra was being so friendly towards this girl.

"You're her instructor?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra praised with a smile, "She's got some serious punches. You've done good."

Standing firm, Jerome modestly replied, "Arabella is naturally talented."

After all, even though she didn't pay much attention in class, her moves were top-notch. If not talent, then what could that be?

"Cultivate her well, she has potential," Lieutenant Colonel Capra said with a smile as he patted Jerome on the shoulder.

Jerome was puzzled. Could someone really have potential just from being good at boxing? What kind of logic was that?

"Oh, you were saying something about Arabella?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra turned to Lieutenant Madden, who seemed to have something to say.

Lieutenant Madden, being quick-witted, realized the girl's importance and hastily said with a smile, "I just wanted to remind her to drink more water during the break since it's very hot out there."

"That's it?" Lieutenant Colonel Capra clearly didn't buy it. Was this something that needed to be specifically pointed out?

In a hurry, Lieutenant Madden added, "And, her boxing skills are really good, I wanted to praise her for it."
