Manchester pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly as he explained, looking somewhat displeased. Zheng Ri roughly understood what was going on. After all, the castle was so large that it was impossible to maintain it every day. A few times a year was fine, but too many times would be a hassle.
It's just a symbol.
"So now all you've done is build a castle and look at it? Isn't that a spectacle?"
After a moment of deep thought, Zheng Ri realized that Elizabeth must have come up with this idea suddenly, or that there weren't enough maids after it was built, which would just be like a spectacle.
Manchester brushed him off and led him to a gate guarded by two ship girls, where Zheng Ri learned who they were.
"Nelson, and Rodney?"
"Commander~, you've finally arrived! Her Majesty the Queen has been waiting for you for a long time, hehe~"
Upon seeing Zheng Ri brought by Manchester, Rodney smiled and waved to him in welcome. Zheng Ri immediately understood, glancing at Manchester who was looking elsewhere; she must have led him here.
But well, we're already here.
But Zheng Ri felt that her approach wasn't enthusiastic enough, so he temporarily let Manchester hold the cute unicorn, then took a few steps forward and hugged Rodney, enjoying a soft landing just like Illustrious, except that Rodney wasn't the little mother of the aircraft carrier, but the big sister of the battleship.
It's just as great!
"Commander, you're being too enthusiastic~, my sister is still watching... Wouldn't it be better to do this when we're alone?"
"Okay, I want to see Rodney wearing the dress I bought you."
After enjoying himself, Zheng Ri looked at Rodney, whose face was already flushed, and patted her head, saying something that Rodney didn't know what to say, so she could only nod in agreement. However, that dress didn't seem to be the right thing to wear right now.
Then Zheng Ri turned his gaze to Nelson, and the moment he looked over, she almost took a step back.
"What are you trying to do? I'm not going to provide you with the services Rodney offers..."
As he approached, Nelson's voice grew softer and softer, but he still managed to finish his sentence, looking at him with a flustered expression and evasive eyes.
"No, but are you sure you don't want a hug?"
"A hug? Just a hug? Then that's fine."
Seeing that he had already opened his arms to him, Nelson glanced at Rodney, who was looking at him with delight, and Manchester, who was watching the show. He then turned his face slightly away and hugged him.
Feeling his warmth and scent made Nelson's already panicked heart even more flustered, but otherwise he felt relaxed. At this moment, Nelson did not want to let go.
"Okay, is that alright? I'm not going to do anything else for you..."
After holding him for about ten seconds, Nelson finally let go of him and continued to be stubborn, but Zheng Ri whispered in her ear:
Really? For example, when it's just the two of us?
"...Just once"
Nelson spoke softly, her face showing reluctance, but it still made the ship girls present laugh, especially Unicorn, who looked at Nelson with a look of "So that's how it is," making her feel a little regretful, but then joy and shyness followed.
"Alright, I should go in too, and see what my Elizabeth is up to."
After saying that, Zheng Ri pushed open the door and saw Elizabeth and Warspite, the ship girls, sitting on what looked like a throne.
However, the blonde queen was reading a book and didn't notice Zheng Ri's arrival, so Zheng Ri had to sneak up to her side and stop her when she reminded him at the exit of the war-weary area. He patted her head and told her to behave.
Then Warspite was bribed and chose to remain silent, watching how the commander planned to tease Her Majesty the Queen.
"War-weary, pour me a cup of tea."
Elizabeth was unaware that the day had already arrived.
He stood beside her, pointing and gesturing. Seeing that Elizabeth's attention was still on the magazine, he personally poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Thanks... um?"
As Elizabeth took the cup and began to drink, she noticed something was amiss. The hand that had served her the tea was rather large. Was Warspite's arm really that thick?
With that thought in mind, Elizabeth turned her head and saw Zheng Ri smiling at her. She then subconsciously spat out the black tea in her mouth, but thankfully Warspite dodged it.
When did you get here?
"you guess?"
Chapter 392 Elizabeth's Study Room
"Servant, you've come, but failing to bow and pay your respects before me is a grave mistake! And to try and scare me like that, hmph~"
Elizabeth looked at Zheng Ri with dissatisfaction, muttering to herself. Although she said she would punish him, the corners of her mouth were turned up, and she even showed her little tiger teeth.
"Yes, yes, my Elizabeth, I know I was wrong. So why did my status change from husband to servant? This sudden fall is too fast for me to accept."
Zheng Ri clutched his chest with a sorrowful expression as he spoke, causing Elizabeth, who had only been joking, to suddenly turn pale. She hadn't expected him to take it seriously.
"No, no, it's not that. It's just that someone refuses to come see me, leaving me here waiting for you. I am Her Majesty the Queen! Because of how you treat me, that's why I..."
"Hmm... Anyway! Now that you're here, I'll just revert to your status as my husband. That status won't change anyway, and besides, being my husband and servant doesn't conflict with that."
Elizabeth puffed out her cheeks and said that she hadn't done anything wrong; it was all his fault for never coming to see her, and there was nothing she could do about it.
"That's good. I was worried because Her Majesty the Queen didn't want me anymore."
"How could that be! You are my commander! I would never do such a thing!"
Elizabeth glared at Zheng Ri with dead fish eyes. This man was really too bad, but she couldn't hit him or scold him, so she could only glare at him like this.
That's terrible, I have to glare at them!
Seeing Elizabeth helpless in the hands of the commander, Warspite, who was watching from the side, raised the corners of his mouth. After all, only Warspite knew that Queen Elizabeth was always nagging his name in his ear from time to time, but now that she had arrived, she was acting completely differently, which made him chuckle.
"Alright, Your Majesty, it's my fault. I haven't come to see you in so long. I know you miss me."
Seeing Elizabeth glaring at him, Zheng Ri didn't feel threatened at all, but found it cute. So, at her exclamation, he picked her up and sat her in her seat, with Elizabeth lying in his arms.
"Hey! Servant, are you trying to usurp the throne? How dare you seize my position!"
"No, I'm sitting on your throne, but you're sitting in my lap; it's practically the same."
Holding Elizabeth in a princess carry, watching her face gradually turn red, Zheng Ri held her little hand while his right hand touched her legs clad in delicate and alluring white stockings.
"That's nonsense. Don't take me for a fool... Fine, you won't listen anyway. War-weary, pour my husband a cup of black tea."
Seeing him staring at her and feeling his hand stroking her calf, Elizabeth gave a token resistance but then didn't want to say anything more, though her face was still flushed. She then asked Warspite to pour him a cup of black tea.
"It is ready, Your Majesty."
No sooner had Elizabeth finished speaking than Warspite brought over a cup of black tea and placed it next to the one that Zheng Ri had casually picked up.
However, Jeongil did notice the teacup that Warspite had brought. It was shaped like a flower, with gold thread inlaid on the rim for drinking, and even the saucer on which it was placed had gold thread. It has to be said that the royal family is indeed rich.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly looking at this cup? Do you want it? If you beg me, I might be able to give it to you."
Noticing his attention on the teacup, Elizabeth gave a haughty smile, put down her magazine, and gently stroked his face, looking superior.
"No, I'm just curious if you guys are really that rich. If that's the case, the things in here could probably buy a lot of things."
Zheng Ri withdrew his gaze and looked at the room's decor. It was magnificent and opulent. Putting aside everything else, just the things on the desk, apart from the magazines, could be something he could only afford in a lifetime. Then, he suddenly remembered a sentence.
A year's salary is only a few dollars, but this is a handful of dollars—thirty years' worth of salary!
"What do you mean by 'able to buy many things'? These are all things I've used, priceless treasures! Whether it's this gold-dipped pen or this parchment book, they are extremely valuable! Like I said before, as long as my servant..."
"If you ask me, I will grant it to you."
Looking at the sun, which seemed to gleam with golden light, Elizabeth swung her legs, clad in white silk stockings, her soft little feet twitching, her face full of majesty.
"Forget it, I don't need it."
Looking at the confident Elizabeth, Zheng Ri didn't intend to delve into these details. He only knew that his ship girl was exceptionally wealthy, and besides, he had some money he couldn't spend anyway, so thinking too much was pointless.
With this in mind, Zheng Ri picked up the black tea that Yan Zhan had placed aside and drank it down in large gulps, a delicate fragrance flowing into his throat.
"How does it feel? Warspite learned his tea-making skills from Belfast. Let me hear your thoughts."
After watching him slowly sip his drink, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Elizabeth wanted to know what he was thinking.
"It wasn't you who brewed it, but it does taste really good, very fragrant and mellow. Thank you, Warspite."
"No need, Commander, whatever you like is fine."
After receiving the praise, Warspite smiled and then stood there blankly, which made Zheng Ri feel a little strange.
"Warweary, come over here. Just sitting there makes me feel a bit alienated from you."
"No need, Commander. This is my duty. As Her Majesty's guardian knight, I must sit like this."
Warspite politely declined Zheng Ri's invitation, stating that it was his duty and also very important.
"It's alright, Warweary. Come here too. Since the servant has said so, let's grant him a small request."
Seeing that they were about to continue their tug-of-war, Elizabeth asked her to come over. After all, Warspite had been following the Commander for a long time, and she couldn't just exclude her now that she had the chance.
"I...I understand. Then I shall respectfully comply."
After saying that, Warspite sat down, but was hugged by Masaharu.
Even though she's an older woman, she's still my ship girl, so it's only right.
Chapter 393 Teasing the Silly White
"How does it feel? Holding me and Warspite in your arms right now, doesn't it feel like you own the whole world, my servant?"
Because he held her in his arms, Warspite was in the same situation. Seeing that she and Warspite had both fallen into his hands, Elizabeth suddenly realized that his status was now very noble, after all, he was her commander.
"They feel so sweet and soft, and you're all so petite, it's so comfortable to hold you in my arms. As for the feeling of possessing the whole world, I don't really feel that way..."
Faced with Elizabeth's inexplicable arrogance, Zheng Ri pinched their thighs and came to that conclusion, only to be slapped by her.
"Fool! That's not the feeling I'm referring to. Petiteness is a symbol of nobility, do you understand?"
As Elizabeth's face flushed red at his words, she lightly tapped him with her scepter, though not with much force. Otherwise, she would have seen her commander's head explode. Warspite was startled by his Queen's actions, but thankfully, he was unharmed.
"I didn't say being petite was a bad thing. What I meant was, although I don't feel like I own the whole world, having you all is enough for me."
Zheng Ri was naturally not angry at Elizabeth's spoiled behavior. Instead, he looked at Elizabeth, who was waiting for his explanation, and lowered his head to kiss her cheeks on both sides, telling her his true thoughts. Although he knew they were ship girls, he knew that having the whole world was unnecessary.
"Commander, this kind of behavior is not appropriate for a lady..."
Despite being caught off guard by the sudden attack, Warspite maintained a smile as she looked at him. However, one could still see her reaction; her face was gradually turning red. If they were alone, Warspite might have given him a long lecture, but in front of Elizabeth, Warspite wouldn't do that.
"Yes, servant, your sudden action is hard to accept. At the very least... give me some time to prepare."
Elizabeth echoed this sentiment, but she didn't dislike it. It was a pleasant physical contact for both of them. However, she did need to be mentally prepared for such a sudden touch.
"Should I tell you in advance when I'm waiting for you?"
Elizabeth's shyness aroused Zheng Risheng's desire to tease her, as did Warspite. However, Warspite was not so easily shy in front of Elizabeth, after all, as the Queen's guardian knight, it was normal for her to remain unmoved.
"You...you really enjoy this kind of contact? And you even want me to be with Warspite. So you're already thinking about how to have your cake and eat it too..."
Elizabeth had no idea what Zheng Ri was really thinking when he teased her. She only knew that he wanted to do something more intimate with her, which wasn't impossible, but a threesome was still a bit hard to accept.
It's alright if you're facing it alone.
However, considering that he had recently been traveling with at least two people, and that she herself hadn't had many experiences with him, Elizabeth decided to bring Warspite along as well. But before that, however, something important was needed.
"As for me, that depends on what you think, Elizabeth..."
Zheng Ri said with a wicked smile, his left hand sliding directly up her arm to touch her face. Seeing her face turn pink because of what he said, and her blue eyes beginning to mist over, Zheng Ri knew that he was just one step away.
"If you... if that's what you want, then I have no choice but to grant your wish..."
Elizabeth lowered her head slightly, somewhat afraid to look at him, but she knew that no matter what request he made, she would have to do it, because he was her lover.
"Commander, should I leave temporarily?...
Warspite noticed that Her Majesty the Queen had been stirred up by the Commander. Looking at Her Majesty's current state, it seemed that she would agree to anything if he asked. So Warspite began to back down, not because she didn't want to cooperate, but because she was worried that Her Majesty would feel ashamed.
"War-weary, you're already in my arms, what do you say? But I won't force you, of course, my lovely Queen Elizabeth, that won't do."
As he spoke casually, his left hand was already cupping Elizabeth's small face. Elizabeth looked at him with moist eyes, and this eye contact left Warspite unsure of what to do.
"Weary, weary of war... You may leave now. Let me have a proper talk with my husband. Come back when I call you..."
In the end, it was Elizabeth who ordered her to leave, which relieved Warspite. She then apologized to Masaharu and quickly pulled away from his embrace, walking out, opening the door, and closing it. Now, only Elizabeth and Masaharu remained in the room.
"Now, you can do whatever you want! I'll grant your every wish, except for the final step..."
Elizabeth stared at him, her face flushed with embarrassment. She was willing to play whatever he wanted, except for the last step, because that was the last vestige of her dignity as Queen.
"Is it necessary to look at me with such a serious expression? Honestly, you silly girl, you're my ship girl, my queen. How could I do something you don't want to do?"
Staring at Elizabeth with a look of grim determination and a "go ahead and kill me" expression, Zheng Ri didn't know what to say. He could only shake his head slightly, then hugged her even tighter and lowered his head to kiss her delicate lips.
At first, Elizabeth wasn't quite used to it and held tightly to his back with both hands, but as she gradually became more skilled, she slowly let go and ended up hugging him and kissing him deeply.
"Is this... all right? What's next?"
