“Prince of Wales, do you think Richelieu is the illegitimate daughter of Nelson and Bismarck?” Chuyang decided to change the subject.
His past black history, if it could even be called that, was just part of the game, so it was better not to mention it. After all, Kirov still looked at him with disdain.
“Admiral, you should wait until Bismarck returns and ask him,” Prince of Wales said, glancing at Chuyang.
Although the current Admiral was no longer as mysterious and ethereal, sitting right next to her and looking quite ordinary without anything particularly special about him, one thing remained unchanged: his penchant for dark humor. She knew all about the telegrams where he arranged for her to be called Queen Elizabeth's daughter.
“........” Chuyang was speechless. How could Prince of Wales have no sense of humor at all?
“Hooded Cat, Nelson and Rodney are Old Na and Old Ro. You call Reputation the African War God, and the counterattack is Little Maid. Admiral, how did you come up with these nicknames?” Prince of Wales turned her head and looked at Chuyang with a half-smile.
“Did I?” Chuyang pretended not to know. Back when he played the game, he sometimes muttered various jokes while looking at the Fleet Girls' illustrations. Surely the Fleet Girls at Naval Base didn’t know about that, right?
“Please, when Saratoga was shouting these things all over Naval Base, who didn’t know she saw them in your telegrams?” Prince of Wales looked at him with disdain.
“Ahem, ahem…” So it was true. No wonder Shooting Fish sang “The sun shines bright, flowers smile at me; the little bird says good morning; why are you carrying a bomb…”
When he first heard that song, it was terrifying; he almost thought Loli had come from another world. So this was where it all originated from. He sometimes talked to his phone screen while playing games; surely he didn’t send everything through telegrams to Naval Base!
“Let’s not talk about this.” Chuyang changed the subject again; he really couldn’t discuss those past matters with the Fleet Girls.
“By the way, Prince of Wales, why has Firefly stopped tying her hair since you returned?”
Although the shoulder-length hair on Loli was still cute, twin tails were justice.
“She said she didn’t want to tie it,” Prince of Wales said with a slight smile, a hint of affection in her eyes.
For Prince of Wales, tying her hair in the old way was somewhat challenging; rather than making it look awkward, it was better to let it flow naturally behind her.
Of course, she could also ask Lexington, Saratoga, or Richelieu for help. These three were quite experienced in managing hair, especially Richelieu, who could effortlessly create various trendy hairstyles. Although she usually wore long straight hair that looked plain, in certain private situations where she needed to match different outfits, her hairstyles could become so varied that they left Chuyang dazzled.
Unfortunately, as a Wedding Ship, the Prince of Wales is not willing to rely on them for such matters. As for finding Kayo, with Andrea Doria being such a sis-con, the Prince of Wales doesn't want to bother.
Seeing her like this, Loli also started to imitate her and refused to let Lexington help her with her hair.
"Um!" When her lips were covered, the Prince of Wales widened her eyes in disbelief.
"I'm going to see what Andrea Doria and Kayo are doing." Before the Prince of Wales could recover from her shock, Chuyang had already run off.
There was no choice; he feared that if he stayed any longer, he would get slapped by the Prince of Wales. However, in that brief moment, he was indeed moved. Even with a serious expression, the long-haired Prince of Wales exuded a much softer aura than before.
If the Prince of Wales with her hair tied up was like a heroic "big brother," then when she let her hair down, she naturally gained a lot more femininity. Moreover, when she spoke about fireflies earlier, the tenderness she radiated was incredibly attractive to Chuyang.
Although Chuyang had never expressed in front of the Fleet Girls that he liked gentle women, it was undeniable that someone like Lexington was exactly his type.
However, after the kiss, Chuyang suddenly realized that the other party was not the easily accessible Lexington, but rather the imposing "big brother," and their relationship seemed not to have progressed to that stage yet.
Thus, unsure of what consequences might follow, Chuyang hurriedly ran away.
What he didn't know was that even if he asked the Prince of Wales to engage in something indescribable right now, she would not refuse.
The affection was genuine, especially for someone like the traditional and conservative Prince of Wales among the Fleet Girls.
"Sister, look! In broad daylight, under the clear sky, brother-in-law and Prince of Wales are kissing!" Saratoga stomped her foot hard and pointed at the scene outside the window for Lexington to see.
"Usually acting indifferent and pretending to be serious. If you ask me, she's just like Richelieu..."
"Is it a vixen?" Richelieu interjected.
"I didn't say that; you said it yourself." Sister-in-law felt a bit embarrassed; she had been too busy feeling jealous and completely forgot that Richelieu was also in the office.
"A vixen is still a vixen." Standing up, Richelieu lifted Saratoga's chin with her hand and said softly, "I am indeed a vixen, but that's still better than someone who is still deceiving herself and treats her husband as her brother-in-law like that yellow-haired Kiddo."
After speaking, Richelieu elegantly turned, leaving Saratoga with a graceful silhouette.
"Sister, look at her." Sister-in-law's face flushed red, filled with anger.
"They're all like that. Sister, you're the matriarch; can't you manage them?"
"If you're so free, help me organize the documents." Lexington, sitting at her desk reviewing materials, didn't even look up.
Manage? How could she manage? Being the matriarch was merely a title; at most, she could ask Admiral to spend one day with her each week, regardless of how many Wedding Ships there were in the future.
As for anything else, Lexington had never considered it.
"Just be magnanimous! Sooner or later, be careful that you might lose your position as matriarch too." Saratoga muttered.
In fact, Sister-in-law understood that her sister's way of handling things was the best approach—neither interfering nor helping anyone, letting everything take its natural course. She also understood this principle, so Sister-in-law was just speaking out loud.
"By the way, sister, do you think brother-in-law will give her an engagement ring?"
"No, your brother-in-law isn't as fickle as you think." Lexington gently touched the ring on her left hand's ring finger.
Since returning to Naval Base, Admiral seemed to have intentionally distanced himself from Prince of Wales. On one hand, it was due to Prince of Wales's own personality; on the other hand, it was perhaps also out of consideration for her feelings.
