"Did something happen?" Seeing the figure of the figure coming out of the town guard's mansion, the lion stood beside the Duke of York and asked softly, she saw it very clearly from the side, although she didn't know what happened in the prayer room, but when she saw the Duke of York's lonely expression, she knew that something unexpected should happen.

"Sort of." The Duke of York raised his head and leaned against the trunk of the tree and smirked. Instead of telling the lion standing beside her what happened in the prayer room, she hid it in her heart.

The lion sighed slightly, and instead of questioning the Duke of York, he chose to change the subject. "So what do you think of him? Is it worthy of a contract with you? ”

She came to Jiqi Town for two purposes at first. The first is to see if the avant-garde admiral is worthy of her, if she is an excellent admiral, then she can find a good home for the Duke of York who follows her.

This was something they had decided beforehand, and they thought everything would go according to their plan, but when she stood in the door of Lexington's room and saw the Duke of York who had left, she knew that there was a good chance that the plan had fallen through.

"What do I think?" The Duke of York nodded, and slowly stood up. "I think it's good, but like two strangers who have just met, there is still a lot of things I don't know about each other, I don't know what he used to do for his ship's girls, and I don't know what kind of existence he used to have. So, although I have a good impression of him, I ...... Still want to see. She gritted her teeth, but still said a slightly reluctant answer.

In fact, she has long known the true thoughts in her heart, as a mature knight, her goal is to find the lord who is truly worthy of her service, and the gathering of prayers is the goal she determined as soon as they met, but she did not have the courage to speak.

The final outcome is to be ruthlessly blocked by his ship's mother, and the possible flame that will continue will be extinguished directly.

Perhaps, as Bismarck whispered to himself, it is difficult for the admiral and the shipwive, who have signed a contract without understanding each other, to go any further.

Although she didn't know why Bismarck could say such things with confidence, she really saw in the other party's eyes an unwavering belief, just as Jiqi believed in his ship's mother. And when he looked at himself, there was nothing special except for the gentle water waves, as if he was seeing a stranger, revealing alienation.

"It's good to get to know him better," Lion nodded slightly in agreement with the Duke of York, "after all, he's just a good first impression, and it's still too much to sign a contract with him like this...... It's hasty, after all, you are the third emperor I decided to take my place, if you were signed by that admiral in this way, wouldn't it make him very proud. ”

She said indignantly, as if she was giving heartfelt encouragement to the frustrated Duke of York, but her stiff face betrayed her heart completely.

Although she was tempted to say that this was a good opportunity for this knight captain, who usually didn't like to talk, to take advantage of it. After all, the avant-garde vision has never made mistakes, whether in politics or in the choice of admirals.

But when these words came to her lips, she saw the Duke of York's depressed expression, and still froze, and comforted her according to the other party's answer.

"I know what you're trying to say, Lion." The Duke of York completely saw through the other party's little tricks, she knew that the other party wanted to comfort the other party with the fact that the admiral was not worthy of herself, but after so many years of getting along, she knew very well whether the other party was telling the truth or talking. "Maybe in your opinion, we came here, and it can be regarded as a bow to the knees, and then I think in the eyes of the other party, we are just a ship girl, but a ship girl known as the emperor of Europe."

"That's what it is," the lion was immediately unhappy, although she knew that she was far less powerful than the ship girl named Yamato, but the strong self-esteem in her heart still made her unwilling to admit defeat so easily. "We are from the Imperial Palace, and we were the only ones in this world before, and even the current powerful Governor's Mansion cannot stand up in front of us. We...... We're ......."

As he spoke, the lion began to speak, watching the Duke of York's ridiculous expression, his slightly open mouth began to stiffen, and he had nothing to say.

Since she had used a tough stance to get Mecarron to terminate the contract, she had been strictly following the agreement with Mecarron and not giving due help to the Governor's Palace, which was in its infancy at the time, and letting the avant-garde move forward slowly without assistance.

It seems that from that day on, they who stood at the front of everyone began to stand still until now, many years later.

In the past, she could proudly call herself the Emperor of Europe, because the name represented an era, but now no one knows what the Emperor of Europe is and what the Royal Town Guard Mansion is, just like a forgotten play, still singing the ballad of the past, but no one knows the name of the ballad.

"Lion, you can also see it, the era that belongs to us has long passed, and we are just poor beings abandoned by the times. Now it is the Governor's Mansion that is dominant, and the Admiral he chose as the Secretary General of the Governor's Mansion is naturally the most excellent existence, otherwise he would not bring his fleet to the depths of the sea that are unimaginable to us. The Duke of York looked at the sea, the sparkling waves flickering in her eyes. Perhaps from that moment on, the world was already the stage for him to show, and we were just supporting actors in this performance, and we were not qualified to choose at all. ”

At the end, she shook her head and sighed slightly, as if she felt deep regret. "So it's not me who chooses him now, but he chooses us, this is the ruthless truth, although you don't want to believe it, but this is the truth now." She looked back at the lion, who was still proudly trying to plead, and shook her head slightly at her stubborn face.

The lion was stunned, but finally lowered her arrogant head slightly and asked softly. "So the Duke of York was directly rejected by him just now? Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a frustrated expression. And I still remember that you have never had such an expression, like a person thrown in the rain, the whole body was drenched in heavy rain, and there was no longer the calm and indifference before before, only he could make the Duke of York, who regarded himself as a knight, have such an expression, right? ”

In fact, she guessed such an ending from the beginning, but she didn't mention it for the sake of the Duke of York's pride.

"Yes, Lion, you're right, I was rejected, but not him, but Bismarck, the shipwreck you call Tsundere Persia." Recalling the other party's terrible words, the Duke of York could still feel the anger in her eyes, not just for her, but more because he had overexposed himself to her Admiral. "You know what? In order to protect her admiral, she did not hesitate to propose a duel between the shipwives to me, you know what that means, right? She asked with a shudder.

"I know that that is the last bottom line of the ship's mother, and it is also their last dignity, the dignity to defend with their lives." The lion nodded and muttered softly, trembling in his voice.
