The three of them were startled and hurriedly looked back.

Under the long gray shawl hair, a pair of golden vertical pupils were staring at them coldly.

"Ahh Sorry, sorry! Miss Ivasse, I don't mean you... Philip apologized to her with a bitter face as soon as he found out who it was.

"Who are you?" Hofbirner didn't react at first, but when he saw Philip's appearance, he immediately guessed the identity of the comer.

"Miss Ewass, is there anything wrong with what I said?" He asked.

However, as soon as he said his words, he saw Philip's face change suddenly. I saw that he hurriedly whispered to Aihuas, "Miss Aihuas, I'm sorry! Your Excellency, he didn't know anything about you and the young ladies when he first arrived, so please forgive me! ”

Looking at Philip's almost flattering appearance, Hofbüerner frowned. He said to Philip with a straight face, "Captain Philip, how can you speak to a slave girl in such a low voice? What about your integrity and face as a soldier of the Imperial Navy?! ”

"No, Admiral. This... I... ”

Philip looked at the ugly Ivace, and then at the Hofbüerner with a straight face, and had to choose to stay out of it for a long time. He stepped away from between the two of them, standing aside with a bitter face.

"Slave girl? General Hofbner, there's something wrong with you? Ivas said with a sneer.

"What's wrong? Aren't you the ones the head of the house has come to him for his amusement? I see this kind of thing a lot! Hofbüerner scoffed.

However, Ivas did not continue to argue with him, she just said to Hofbner: "Then please ask General Hofbüerner to let me go, and I will bring lunch for the head of the family!" ”

Hearing this, Hofbüerner had no choice but to get out of the way. Ivas walked in front of him with his head held high, on his toes.

"Humph! Too lazy to bother with you. She flicked her long gray ponytail and walked past the three of them with a gust of incense.

When she was gone, Philip reluctantly said to Hofbner, "Your Excellency, you may be in trouble. ”

"Got in trouble? How? They still dare to ask the head of the family to remove me from my post in public, can I be investigated? Hofbüerner said nonchalantly.

"Not really, it's just that a few young ladies will find you to duel. If you don't agree, they'll try to find a duel with your subordinates. Philip said even more helplessly.

"Duel? Then duel! Can't we beat these vases? Hofbüerner asked, surprised.

"Uh... Admiral, it is indeed ... Philip said embarrassedly.

As if he had heard some incredible news, Hofbirner asked Philip in disbelief: "What did you say?" You mean, you can't beat that girl? It's too... He paused for a long time, but finally didn't say the word shame.

"It's embarrassing, isn't it?" Philip didn't shy away from saying.

"Uh... Hofbüerner was silent.

"Philip, don't say it. Let's take the general to the restaurant! Tibbs interrupted them.

"Oh, okay."

Hofbüerner and Tibbs followed Philip to the officer's dining room on the flagship, where they found it overcrowded as soon as they entered.

"Strange, shouldn't there be so many people at this point?" Philip said puzzled.

He casually stopped an orderly and asked, "Hey, is the dining room where the senior officers eat crowded now?" ”

The orderly looked at the ranks of him and the two people behind him, hurriedly put aside the plate he was holding, and then saluted and said: "Report to Lord Captain, there are not many people in the senior officers' cafeteria, and there are only two young ladies and Lord Sophia, as well as Eldridge and Barcelona. He thought for a moment and said, "Oh yes, there seems to be a new adult. It looks like a very raw face, and I don't know where the adult is. ”

"Okay, I got it."

Philip waved his hand to signal that the orderlies could leave, and he walked up to Hofbüerner and said, "Your Excellency, Tibbs and I will send you to the senior officers' quarters later, and then you can ask the orderlies directly if you have any needs." The two of us are dining out, do you think that's okay? ”

"Okay, lead the way." Hofbüerner said.

As they bypassed the bustling officers' dining area from the side hallway, Philip walked over to a small door with intricately carved carvings and knocked lightly twice.

"Knock, knock."

The door creaked open, and two gendarmes stepped out of it. One of them looked at the rank of captain on Philip's shoulder and frowned, "Captain, this is not the place for you to come, please go back." With that, they turned and went inside.

"Wait a minute, you two, this is Admiral Hofbirner of the Adiriya fleet, and he is here to dine, not me." Philip hurriedly called out to the two.

The two turned around and saw Hofbüerner, who had been blocked by Philip before, and immediately stood up and saluted: "I've seen the Admiral, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you because of a mistake before!" Please come with me. ”

Hofbüerner hummed and kept up with one of the gendarmes.

When he was gone, Philip breathed a sigh of relief, and he pulled Tibbs and said, "Finally served this lord away!" You don't know, I almost didn't get scared to death when I saw this lord and Miss Ivas arguing just now! Let's go, I'll treat you to a good meal here today! ”

Tibbs asked curiously, "Philip, why are you so afraid of that Miss Ewass?" Can you tell me about it? ”

"Hah! It's not something you can't say, I'm telling you... ”

The two walked shoulder to shoulder and walked towards the officer's dining area outside.

In the senior officers' cafeteria, the guard who was leading the way for Hofbüerner suddenly stopped and asked him, "Your Excellency, would you like a separate private room, or would you like to eat directly at the table?" ”

"Private room?" He asked.

"Yes, because some adults like a quiet dining environment, we have specially renovated a few quiet private rooms for adults to choose from." The guard explained.

"Oh, you don't have to. Take me straight to the table! Hofbjerner said to him.

"Yes, Admiral." The guard nodded and continued to lead the way ahead.

After turning a corner, Hofbüerner smelled the smell of the mixture of various foods coming from the restaurant, and suddenly felt even hungrier.

He ignored the guards in front of him and rushed straight into the restaurant.

"Huh? Admiral?! You're here too? ”
