Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 874: The First Meeting between the Project Ship and the Prince of Wales

Yang Sikang was very happy when he heard from Belfast that the Glory and the Prince of Wales were about to visit, because he didn't have to wait too long, and judging from the speed at which they came, they had probably noticed something from the cannon craters fired by the monarch.

He had not counted on this at first. After all, large-caliber main guns have great destructive power when the caliber is similar. In addition, his fleet has no shortage of battleships with large-caliber main guns, so it is naturally less likely to be discovered.

Unexpectedly, the shot fired by the monarch was so powerful that the Prince of Wales actually discovered the clue.

After waiting in the study for a while, Yang Sikang laughed as he watched the sedan carrying Guanghui and the Prince of Wales drive in from the main gate:

"Neptune, how about playing the maid?"

The car of Glory and the Prince of Wales stopped at the gate of the main house. As soon as they got out of the car, they saw Belfast, Hermione and another maid standing at the door to greet them.

"Welcome, both of you."

The three of them saluted to the two of them, but Guanghui and the Prince of Wales focused their attention on the maid besides Belfast and Hermione.

Judging from her clothes, it was undoubtedly a maid outfit, and the style was similar to Belfast's, with a headband on her head. The skirt was long, and the exposed feet looked like metal boots.

But this maid had long ocean-blue hair and small whips tied on both sides of her head. She looked like a cheerful person, and she was not as good at maid etiquette as Belfast and Hermione.

"I am here temporarily to act as a maid. I am very happy to meet you two, Madam Glorious and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales."

The two of them understood immediately.

With such a large manor, the maids would definitely not ask other fleet companions to help clean it. It would be difficult to clean up, so it would not be surprising to find some external assistance.

However, the girl with long blue hair in front of them seemed to be a ship girl, but the problem was that they had never seen her before!

But after all, they had not seen all the ship girls in the world, so they did not dwell too much on this issue. They just became more certain of their guess that Yang Sikang either built it secretly himself or borrowed people from someone else.

This is actually not a big deal, but for Yang Sikang, especially since he has just arrived at the royal family, this is a very important matter.

Who knows if he is planning something bad?

"Hello, we are here to see Commander Yang, is he here?"

"Of course, the master is already waiting for you two in the study, please come in."

It was just a routine inquiry, but in fact, they had been notified before, but it did not comply with the royal family's formal procedures.

The group came to the study, and Yang Sikang was there as expected, but next to him sat a ship girl wearing a royal-style military uniform.

Her unique hair color and clothes prove her identity, and her temperament is also extraordinary.

But the problem was that both Guanghui and the Prince of Wales were very unfamiliar to her and had never seen them before.

"You are……"

The Prince of Wales frowned. She didn't know why she had an inexplicable feeling towards the woman in front of her who was probably a ship girl. It seemed like she was familiar but also a little resistant. It was hard to explain in one sentence. It was quite subtle.

At this time, the other party also looked over. She saw the Prince of Wales first, and her whole body suddenly became a little stiff. At the same time, the Prince of Wales and Guanghui almost immediately noticed the change in her temperament. She seemed to know the Prince of Wales, and she had some strange reactions?

The Prince of Wales came over immediately and greeted him.

"Hello, I am the Prince of Wales of the King George V-class battleship. Excuse me, have we met before?"

There was a brief silence, and then the ship girl shook her head, exhaled and replied:

"No, we have never met or had any contact."

The Prince of Wales nodded doubtfully, hesitating.

Generally speaking... would they deliberately emphasize that the two parties have never had any contact?

Moreover, why would there be such a subtle reaction if there has been no contact?

The Prince of Wales was about to ask further questions when Yang Sikang spoke up:

"You two are here today because of that gun pit, right?"

The Prince of Wales immediately stopped talking, turned around and nodded:

"Yes, the team that went to clean it up found that the size and impact of the crater were exaggerated, so they reported it. I took a look and felt that it didn't seem to be the MK6 or MK7 of the White Eagle, so I thought of coming here to ask. If it wasn't you who did it, then it must be..."

"Sorry, that was indeed our fault. The ship next to me is a battleship. Due to some experimental factors, she is now using the Royal 406mm main gun. Because of my changes, it may be a little different."

"I see."

The Prince of Wales immediately responded without questioning what Yang Sikang said.

She looked at the ship girl next to her again and asked:

"So, I wonder who this ship girl is? Although we haven't seen her, maybe we have heard of her name?"

Without waiting for the ship girl to answer, Yang Sikang spoke first:

"It would be better to wait a few days before revealing the answer to this question."

Yang Sikang's answer made the Prince of Wales look at him again, and then he continued:

"In fact, I specifically asked her to come here today to meet you two just to tell you that I have no intention of hiding anything. It's just that due to some external factors, it's not appropriate to make her identity public for the time being. I will resolve this issue as soon as possible, and then I will formally introduce her to you two."

Yang Sikang spoke very sincerely, and his expression was also sincere.

The Prince of Wales wanted to ask more questions, but after hesitating for a moment he nodded. Then Guanghui, who had been silent, took over the conversation:

"Since Commander Yang has said so, we will wait patiently."

The two came in a hurry and left in a hurry as well.

As a first meeting, this was not a good start. However, Yang Sikang felt that for the monarch and the Prince of Wales, this was a good enough start.

It would be good for the Prince of Wales and the monarch alike to have some extra time to relax.

"How is it, Your Majesty. Is there anything special about meeting the Prince of Wales in person?"

The monarch watched the car leave from the window in silence, and then said:

"Commander, I originally thought that I would resent them, or be very angry and dissatisfied. After all, I was a better designer, but was replaced by them who were even inferior, and I didn't even have the chance to be born."

The monarch paused and sighed:

"But when I met George V and Howe before, those thoughts disappeared instantly. I thought it was because we were companions after all, but when I met the Prince of Wales just now, I found that it didn't seem to be the case. For them who were born because of my demise, I actually felt a little... relieved? Haha, at least she behaved like a competent aristocrat. When I confirmed this, I was actually a little happy."

The monarch frowned and shook his head.

She couldn't fully explain her feelings, so she could only say this. However, in the end, she turned her head and looked at Yang Sikang:

"Commander, I want to have an exercise with them."

Yang Sikang smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, this has already been arranged."
