The door in front of me was hidden, and from the crack in the door oozed a golden and brilliant light, which completely illuminated the gray outside.

Lexington slowly pushed the door open, and the sunlight behind the door became more and more intense, as if a wheat field of only one color was left in front of the lion.

The Emperor of Europe, who had put down his proud figure, squinted slightly, and what appeared in her blue eyes was a figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the orange sunlight elongated his tall body through the clear glass, the plain white Admiral's naval uniform was neatly dressed, and the white naval hat was placed on the office mahogany table beside him. He didn't wear a military cap, and his long plain black hair was completely exposed.

He stood there quietly like a statue without any movement, but he exuded the temperament of a towering Mount Tai, gentle and no one dared to offend.

This is the avant-garde Admiral? The lion walked slowly into the room with simple decorations but every piece of luxury, and her former acquaintance avant-garde was also there, she wore a gray checkered uniform and bent slightly to signal to the lion, her long golden hair was also carefully curled up by her, and her dark blue eyes were indifferent, as if she saw a stranger without too many words.

"The Imperial Guardian of the Imperial Palace, the Emperor of Europe, the Lion?" The majestic Mount Tai moved slowly, accompanied by a gentle sound like a spring breeze. The mysterious admiral slowly turned, and a light smile appeared in front of the lion for the first time. The ink painting is like a lingering plain white, and under the slender forehead is a pair of delicate pupils, and the ink color and water white make the lion feel like the grandeur and depth of the landscape.

Jiqi smiled and bent down to stretch out his hand, showing a slightly apologetic expression towards the girl in front of him.

"You're the current Governor of the Governor's Palace—Jiqi?" The lion nodded slightly, took off the gray gloves in his hand, and made contact with the other party with his smooth fingers like green onions, expressing his respect from the Royal Guardhouse. Although she didn't know what kind of person the other party was, looking at such a young and handsome face, the lion still nodded affirmatively to her in her heart.

"I'm sorry, my ship's mother was a little rude." Jiqi stretched out his hand and motioned for the expressionless girl in front of him to sit down. He looked at the other party's unsmiling face and knew that Lexington and Yamato's behavior made this proud girl feel ashamed, obviously in the past he was the emperor who surrendered everywhere he went, but he was blocked by Yamato and them from the door of his town guard, such an experience will make everyone feel angry.

"It's okay, what your secretary said is not wrong, I'm just an intern of the ship's mother in Jiqi Town's Mansion, not an emperor." The lion untied his white robe, smoothed the folded skirt slightly, and sat down gracefully. She had a very good impression of Jiqi, but she didn't expect such a gentle admiral to have such a strong ship girl under her command.

"Okay," Jiqi nodded slightly, understanding what the girl meant. "Lion, what is the purpose of your coming this time? I don't think you're just here to meet me, an avant-garde admiral. "If the other party just has such a simple and crude purpose, then he will only come as the admiral of the Royal Guard, and it is very strange to visit in such an capacity.

"Actually, it doesn't mean anything else," the lion said, taking a sip of the teacup on the table. "I just wanted to meet the admiral chosen by the avant-garde of the royal yacht, but I didn't expect that the admiral who defeated the deep-sea fleet in legend was such a young boy."

"I can only say that I am lucky," Jiqi shook his head modestly, not in the slightest smug because of the other party's praise. "You know, I only graduated from the Enterprise Academy a few months ago, and I was just a commander who didn't know what the future would hold, and I didn't expect to grow to such a point. I thought I would just be an ordinary admiral, spending my life mediocre with my own shipwive, but when I became the governor of the Governor's Mansion because of my avant-garde relationship, I knew that I could no longer escape such a heavy responsibility. ”

"You don't like the position?" The lion raised her eyebrows in surprise, and from the clear eyes of the other party, she could not see any lies, that is, the other party was not lying, but really did not like this position that everyone longed for.

"Yes, I used to have a lot of time to spend with my ship's wife, but now I can't do it because of the governor." Ji Qi smiled self-deprecatingly, his smart eyes staring at the tea in the cup, the floating tea leaves in his eyes. "I don't actually have any big ideas, the only thing I want is to protect my ship's mother, and then spend every day happily with them, maybe my mentors will hear my answer like this, I'm afraid they will scold me for being unambitious, but I don't want to lie, that's what I want."

This was his first thought after becoming a midshipman, and it was the only thought that has lasted until now, and it has never changed in any way.

"Very simple but difficult idea." The lion tapped its fingers on the smooth tabletop, and the crisp sound followed her rhythm. "In the past, I thought the same way, I simply wanted to protect my ship girls, but I paid a heavier price than that."

"A heavy price?" Ji Qi felt a little incredible, but he knew from the avant-garde that the past Emperor Ou was a superior person, and almost no one dared to challenge her status, it was hard for him to imagine that such a lion would pay a heavy price to protect his ship, shouldn't this be an easy thing for her?

"Do you think I'm joking?" The lion sighed and lay on his back on the soft sofa, looking at the white chalk wall and smiling bitterly. "You know that Mercaren, the head of the academy you graduated from, the scheming old fox. Everyone only knew that I forced him to break the contract with the ship's wife, but what they didn't know was that I agreed to my ship's wife's request that I would not be able to help the governor's palace until he died. ”

"That's why you didn't say goodbye at that time?" Avant-garde raised her eyebrows, and now she finally knew why the lion who had promised to assist her in cleaning the big family had finally disappeared from her field of vision. It turned out that it was for this reason, otherwise with her proud character, she would never ignore what she had promised.

"yes, otherwise do you think I'd be afraid of those nobles?" The lion gritted her teeth and sneered, her voice filled with deep anger, like a fried lion, she squeezed the porcelain cup in her hand tightly, and a slight crisp sound began to spread around the rim of the cup. "But even so, I never regretted my choice at that time."

Ji Qi nodded, he didn't think that being strong was not the other party's intention, but a measure of last resort to protect his ship. If he had been the Admiral of the Royal Castle at the time, I am afraid he would have made the same choice. "That's why you say that my idea is a simple but difficult thing."

Simplicity means that the idea is pure, and difficulty means that in order to achieve such an end, sometimes it is necessary to pay a high price, even far beyond itself. The lion has spent endless years to dim the glory of the Royal Castle, and Jiqi has given his life for it.

Whoever they are, they are all fools in the mouths of others. Whether it's a lion or a prayer.

Thank you for the commuter pass of the heart of happiness.
