Chapter 133 Pirates and the Queen
The voice belonged to Her Majesty the Queen – Elizabeth.
As for why the other party appeared near the command center, Belfast herself was not quite sure.
According to my queen's usual habits, she should still be lying in bed at this hour, unwilling to get up.
Seeing Xu Huan close his eyes again, Belfast also took a moment to look out the window at the source of the sound. However, she couldn't tell whether it was because the windowsill was designed to be a bit high or because Elizabeth's figure was too small.
In short, everything outside the window was calm and peaceful, with no signs of anything unusual.
Although she still had some doubts, Belfast decided after a brief moment of thought that it would be best to focus her attention on the young man in front of her.
She looked away, and the hand that had been massaging the young man's shoulder gradually moved up to his temple.
"Is this pressure appropriate, Master..."
"Um...."
What's happening outside the window right now.
Elizabeth covered her mouth, and her young face turned bright red.
She stared at the somewhat dazed tentacle in the distance, and after a brief moment of astonishment, her first thought was of royal wealth.
As the flagship of the Royal Navy, even if she is not particularly attentive to her duties, she still has a basic understanding of the ship girls from other factions.
Especially the tentacles, which are highly recognizable.
"call--"
She released her hand from her mouth, took a few small breaths, and looked at the tentacles with a hint of displeasure.
She knew that the other party's tentacles should have a function similar to sharing vision, otherwise there should be another ship girl here, not just a single tentacle.
"Such clandestine activities actually exist in my own port?! This is completely inconsistent with the image of the majestic and righteous royal family..."
"Wait, although your name has 'Royal' in it, you don't seem to be a Royal Navy ship girl..."
As Elizabeth spoke, she completely forgot that she was also wearing a face mask to cover her face.

As soon as the blonde girl finished speaking, she saw the tentacle in front of her flick its wrist, expressing a disdain in a remarkably human-like manner.
"What?! You actually dare to contradict me!" Elizabeth stamped her foot lightly, hands on her hips, and said, "Someone who does such things so stealthily, only daring to send tentacles, without even the courage to show themselves, dares to contradict me? How foolish and laughable..."
It's unclear whether Elizabeth's suggestion of provocation was a genuine expression of her true feelings.
Anyway, the little octopus that shares the tentacles for exploration has almost reached its limit of patience.
She was infuriated by Elizabeth's affectation!
As expected of the ship girl Hu Teng described as being no different from a child except for having a big chest.
Of course, Elizabeth seems to be similar, except that the royal flagship doesn't even have the advantage of having big breasts. Her figure and strength are basically on the same level as a child.
After a very brief moment of thought, they probably felt that it wasn't enough for the Probes to be able to passively take the insults without being able to retaliate, and the events of last night also made Royal Wealth a little jealous.
In short, for the sake of venting his anger and feeling satisfied, the little octopus stopped hiding behind the scenes and stepped forward.
"It seems the Royal Flagship's magnanimity and understanding are closely related to its physique..."
Having remained hidden behind the scenes for a long time, the Royal Wealth's words directly touched Elizabeth's sore spot.
"What did you say!!!"
Elizabeth was touched on her most painful spot. At this moment, she gritted her teeth and no longer cared about the etiquette lessons she had received from the royal maids. She pulled down her mask, clenched her fists, and looked as if she was about to give someone a good beating.
Despite her smaller size compared to the little octopus, in a real fight, the battleship's tonnage advantage far surpasses that of the sailing ship, the little octopus.
However, the little octopus also has tentacles to help, and without ship equipment, it's hard to say who will win.
Given their current situation, Little Octopus guessed that Elizabeth probably wouldn't dare to make a big fuss, so she replied quite firmly.
"What's wrong? Am I wrong?! Even the royal flagship would do something like this, stealing and cheating..."
"What do you mean by petty theft? I'm... I'm inspecting my port area. Do you even know what inspecting a port area means?" Elizabeth, quick-witted, hurriedly came up with a reason that sounded somewhat legitimate.
"To patrol the port area in such a sneaky manner, even wearing a mask and eavesdropping, what kind of bad thing are they doing? Or are they afraid of being embarrassed if others find out about their actions?"
"You despicable commoner!! If you continue to cause trouble, I will expel you from Royal Port District!!"
Elizabeth was so angry that her face turned red, and there was even a hint of smoke coming out of her hair.
As the Queen of the Royal Family, when had she ever received such treatment?
These are the barbaric commoners from the Sailboat faction. They can't do anything but steal things, and they don't even have the slightest bit of basic manners. They are truly disgusting!
Normally, within the Royal Navy, every ship girl treats me with utmost respect, even offering gentle and kind reminders when I make mistakes...
Even when she went on a mission at sea with Xu Huan last time, she had never been treated like this.
Even Xu Huan didn't say anything to me, so what right do you have to say anything to me?!
Elizabeth grew angrier the more she thought about it, while the little octopus in front of her showed absolutely no sign of backing down.
“I was brought into the Royal Family by the Commander… You have no choice but to kick me out!!” Royal Wealth also took the opportunity to directly bring out its 'backing'.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be like a first wife who disliked a favored concubine who had entered the family later, but was helpless to do anything about it.
Of course, the reality is far from the metaphor.
In terms of "entry-level" experience, the royal family's wealth far surpasses that of Elizabeth I...
As their anger escalated, their voices gradually became louder and could no longer be suppressed.
"Wow—"
Suddenly, the window not far away was gently opened, and the ship girl with long silver hair looked coldly at the two people not far away outside the window.
The arguing suddenly stopped, and the two of them turned to look at the window.
"The noise is too loud... If it disturbs the master, I won't be polite... even if it's His Majesty." Belfast said expressionlessly, her voice cold, carrying an inexplicable air of authority.
Royal Fortune and Elizabeth both fell silent.
Belfast was completely different from usual... she was a completely different person.
They look intimidating.
Then, the window was closed again, and a curtain was gradually drawn, blocking the view from both sides.
Chapter 134 Daily Work
Belfast drew the curtains, sighed softly, and slowly walked behind Xu Huan again.
The arguing outside the window finally stopped, and the young man, who had been resting with his eyes closed for a while, opened them at that moment.
“Master…” Belfast’s voice sounded somewhat remorseful.
"Did the noise from the argument outside bother you?"
"I'm alright..." Xu Huan stretched slightly and sat up straight again.
With such loud noises outside, it's hard not to pay attention.
"Are those Royal Fortune and Elizabeth outside?"
"Hmm? Master, you could actually tell?"
“I can’t quite recognize Elizabeth’s voice, but I’m very familiar with the little octopus’s voice…” Xu Huan nodded in response.
Royal Fortune was, after all, the first ship girl he had ever met, and they had spent so much time together. It would be rather unfair of him not to recognize her voice.
What's more, after those two nights, I heard all sorts of sounds that the other person could and couldn't make...
“But from what they said during their argument, I could tell that the other person was Elizabeth…” Xu Huan said, a slight smile creeping onto his lips. “There aren’t many people in the port who can argue with our Majesty… let alone argue like this.”
"However... Belfast, as the head maid, you still have some authority. Just standing there, those two obediently shut up. I'm afraid I couldn't do that."
"Master, please stop joking about Belfast~"
Belfast saw that the young man didn't seem unhappy at all, and her eyelashes curved slightly as she chuckled and agreed.
As long as Xu Huan doesn't care, she doesn't care either.
"Alright, alright... I'm too lazy to worry about these things. Anyway, a fight probably won't break out." Xu Huan refocused his attention on the documents he hadn't finished reading earlier, and casually asked:
"Has anything happened in the port area lately?"
"There are some things that require your personal decision, Master..."
Belfast also got into work mode, and at this moment the royal head maid fully transformed into a diligent and capable personal secretary.
"First, there's the gradually increasing activity level of the Siren's mental energy today, according to the latest research findings from Kimblee—"
"and many more..."
Xu Huan thought of his home, which was currently under renovation, and asked, "Didn't Jin Buli start helping with the renovation of my house, using the latest materials? How can she spare the time?"
“Yes, Master. Actually, whether it's decorating or analyzing data, these kinds of tasks don't take up too much time in a day for Kimbri,” Belfast explained with a slight smile.
"After all, the renovation mainly relies on Manju to help with the work. Miss Kimbri is only responsible for directing and coordinating. If there are no major problems, it won't take too much time. And Miss Kimbri has a lot of experience in data analysis."
"Okay...thank you."
