It's time to give out the rings, Admiral!

As she herself said, her admiral had hundreds of ship girls, and as his secretary ship, she had naturally seen countless beautiful and charming women of different styles that would dazzle any man. However, even after seeing so many ship girls who were all beautiful in their own way, the woman in front of her, who seemed to radiate her own light, still stood out from the crowd.

Perhaps she wasn't the most beautiful of all the women he had ever met, but her elegant and gentle temperament was unforgettable at first glance. Her beautiful figure and the ample breasts on her chest seemed to be constantly telling the men around her about the joy and weight of nurturing life.

Watching that woman wearing an apron, speaking with such joy and sweetness to her beloved admiral as if they were husband and wife, Mrs. Leck, who had always been so perfect, felt a pang of heartache for the first time.

It wasn't anger at her admiral's philandering, nor was it jealousy of the new sister's close relationship with him. She knew it was simply that she wasn't as confident in herself as she used to be.

The same thing happened to Glorious, who had seen Lexington, which had always been the focus of so much attention.

The champion of the first Ship Girl Contest held by the Governor's Mansion, and also the first champion to receive a lifetime ban from the competition, the perfect wife and goddess in the hearts of countless admirals, and the admiral's favorite ship girl...

Seeing Lexington dressed in a pure white gown, as noble and elegant as a night-blooming cereus, exuding a captivating charm of a virtuous wife with every gesture, Radiant was utterly astonished. Then, he noticed that Lexington was holding his admiral's coat. Looking at her flawless face, a sense of inferiority and loss quietly crept into Radiant's heart.

However, unlike Lexington, who knew everything, Glorious didn't think too much about it. After all, she didn't know that the dazzling ship girl in front of her was the same ship girl as her beloved admiral, and that she was his first married ship. Not to mention her sister-in-law Saratoga, whose fame was no less than that of Lexington, who was his wife, and Phelps, whose name she didn't know but who looked very much like Lexington and who at first glance looked like Lexington's daughter.

The first meeting between the two ship girls, both affectionately called "Madam" by their respective players, began as they were both amazed by each other's charm and beauty.

Perhaps noticing the unconscious doubt that Radiant looked at her, Lexington, who had already sorted out her thoughts, smiled gently at her. As the perfect secretary ship who had accompanied the admiral through thick and thin, although Radiant did make her waver a little when she first saw her, she quickly recovered from that slight slump.

Thinking that she was already the admiral's wife, why should she worry about a new sister? She looked down at the ring finger of her left hand, and with that still dazzling smile, she spoke softly to the radiance.

"Hello, my name is Lexington, this is my sister Saratoga, and this little sister is named Phelps."

"Ah, hello, this is Guanghui. Um... is there anything I can help you with?"

Perhaps out of concern, Glorious had heard a lot about Lexington's exploits from Instructor Langley, such as his extremely powerful strength and how he could easily sink a large group of deep-sea creatures by himself.

As a novice ship girl just starting out, Glorious was quite flattered to be spoken to by such a powerful senior ship girl. She looked at her innocent-looking admiral with some confusion before quickly responding to Lexington's greeting.

Although she didn't know what this five-star ship girl, who was just like herself, wanted to do with her admiral, she couldn't afford to be rude to her. In case her admiral encountered any trouble in the future, he might be able to ask her for help.

The boy, of course, had no idea how much his beloved Radiance was thinking of him, but he did know that he was now very likely to suffer a heart attack due to excessive tension and be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Hearing his two "wives" exchange just a few words, fearing that the situation might suddenly become uncontrollable, someone stiffened his neck and interrupted their conversation before he was mentally prepared to face it.

"Ah, there's no rush to say what's going on... Um, Glorious... let us in first."

"Ah, yes, Admiral."

As someone who has never gone against her admiral's wishes, she naturally wouldn't have any objections to her admiral's opinions. She gently turned to the side and took slippers from the shoe rack for her admiral and a few "guests," then obediently made way for them.

With a soft "Excuse me," Lexington followed her admiral, holding the hands of her two younger sisters, and entered the room, which, though small, felt very comfortable and cozy.

Of course she knew why her admiral had suddenly interrupted her conversation with Glorious. Looking at the boy's somewhat guilty face, she felt a mixture of amusement and pity. Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she secretly shook her admiral's hand. Seeing the admiral look at her in surprise, Lexington smiled gently at him and sat down on the soft sofa.

“Um, Admiral, and senior Lexington, Saratoga… cough, Miss Saratoga, Miss Phelps, please wait here for a moment while I go make some tea.”

Watching the radiant figure walk into the kitchen like a noble lady, Lexington had just sat down and hadn't even had a chance to comfort her poor and adorable admiral when, for some reason, she felt Phelps, sitting next to her, tug at her sleeve as if he had noticed something.

Volume 1, Chapter 129: Pills

The comfortable and warm room was filled with a faint fragrance. The warm midday sunlight shone into the room through the well-lit balcony. In such a relaxing space, as her admiral and Illustrious entered the living room, Lexington gracefully responded to their greeting and sat down on the sofa facing the coffee table.

She glanced at Gaja and Phelps sitting beside her like her two protectors, and shook her head imperceptibly. She had found the admiral's cautious manner both amusing and endearing from the beginning.

Honestly, we've been together for so long, why are you still so worried, Admiral? As your dearest wife, are you afraid I'll make things difficult for the new sister?

She pursed her glistening, rosy lips with a helpless expression. She had already been reluctant to see her beloved husband continue to worry like this and was preparing to give him a "heart stimulant." However, before she could even speak, she felt her sleeve being gently tugged by Phelps, who was sitting to her left.

With some confusion, she lowered her head and looked at Phelps, whose innocent and lovely brows were furrowed as if he had discovered something. Realizing that her little action had successfully attracted the attention of her sister Lexington, the little girl quietly stretched out her finger and pointed to the corner of the coffee table in front of her.

It was a cardboard box covered in English and a strip of unidentified pills, one of which was missing. Following the girl's slender fingers, Lexington looked at the coffee table and saw this seemingly ordinary scene.

However, as her little assistant, Lexington believed that this alone would not attract such great attention from Phelps' sister. So, she bent down slightly and carefully examined the cardboard box with her exceptional eyesight as a ship girl.

The cardboard box was exquisitely packaged, which made it easy for Lexington to see what was printed on it. As everyone knows, ship girls, born from steel and war, do not get sick. As a ship girl herself, Lexington knew this very well. She was worried because she thought Phelps wanted to tell her that the admiral might be sick, but then she saw a line of English that made her brain short-circuit.

The words “Emergency Hormonal Contraceptive pills” appeared before Lexington’s eyes. As a U-class ship girl, she certainly couldn’t be unfamiliar with English. However, the meaning formed by these words when put together was so bizarre that she forgot to think about it for a moment.

In short, this means it's a drug that's only used by women, and specifically only when contraception is unavailable or has failed. As a male, your own admiral certainly wouldn't take such a thing, so only one possibility remains…

Even someone as perfect and virtuous as Lexington couldn't remain completely unaffected by such an unexpected event. Her once rosy complexion instantly turned pale, and the gentle and serene smile beneath her constantly twitching eyes gradually became somewhat forced.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she felt as if something had squeezed her heart tightly. With a bitter taste in her throat, she couldn't help but look away.

I initially thought it was just a new sister, but little did I know that it was actually a terrifying monster from prehistoric times.

Feeling the throbbing pain in her heart, Lexington, her face hidden, gave a bitter smile. Yes, so what if she was the Admiral's first married ship? In all this time since their marriage, she hadn't even been touched by the Admiral. When did she start taking it for granted just because everyone considered her the Admiral's wife?

Lexington glanced furtively at Phelps beside her, who seemed quite worried about her, and then at the boy sitting alone on the sofa to her right, still watching the situation in the kitchen. Suddenly, she felt her eyes welling up with tears.

She always says she's the perfect wife, the most adorable and beautiful lady, but Admiral, why haven't you touched yourself all this time? And how long have you known the new lady...? Is it because I'm not as pretty as this new radiant one? Or is it because I lack her elegance and grace? What she can do for you, I can do too! But why, Admiral...?

She bit her lip hard and noticed that the boy seemed to want to turn away, not wanting her beloved to see her somewhat lost and uneasy expression. Lexington turned her head away, but looking at the photo hanging on the wall, her heart ached once again.

The admiral's first time was gone, and the person he had a relationship with wasn't even her. As the admiral's secretary ship, as his first wife, who should she blame? Who should she vent her anger on? Should she vent it on this newly-formed sister, Miss Illustrious? Of course not, because she doesn't even know they exist, and it's only natural for her to be close to her admiral.

So, is it the admiral's fault? Why didn't he take her before he disappeared? Putting aside whether she was willing or not, the admiral disappeared and lost his memory because she failed to protect him... So, is the reason for this outcome really because of herself...?

If I had protected the Admiral during that night raid and reached his side immediately, perhaps he wouldn't have disappeared, and he wouldn't have lost his memory. If I had protected him, perhaps in the past year or so, I would now… even if I hadn't given birth to a healthy and adorable baby for him, I would certainly be a happy expectant mother with a large belly, right? If…

But where in this world are there so many "what ifs"? You reap what you sow, and you have to bear the consequences yourself.

The admiral certainly likes her; she can clearly feel that. Since the admiral is so dense and shy, why hasn't she ever thought of taking the initiative? If she had, perhaps her imagination would have...

Although I say I can and don't care, I really do crave more of your attention, Admiral...

"Lexington...Lexington?"

Looking at the hanging group photo, she seemed to see herself in it, pregnant and happily nestled against her beloved admiral. Suddenly, she heard the admiral calling her name. She quickly wiped her slightly wet eyes, tried to put on a smile again, and turned to look at the somewhat puzzled boy.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Admiral?"

Volume 1, Chapter 130: Threat

"Hmm? What's wrong, Admiral?"

Bathed in the soft, comfortable sunlight indoors, the boy, who had been paying attention to the reactions of Miss Radiance and Miss Lexington since he entered the room, seemed to relax his shoulders with a sigh of relief. He gazed at Lexington's gentle face, which was partially obscured by her flaxen hair, and at her still so soothing and gentle smile.

He had been watching the kitchen, worried that Glorious might be overthinking things, but when he turned around, he noticed that for a moment, Lexington seemed to have a very sad and bewildered expression. Fortunately, it seemed that he had been worrying for nothing.

As the only male head of the household, the boy had already noticed the box of medicine lying quietly on the coffee table when he entered the house. However, because it was covered with dense English writing, he didn't examine it closely. Moreover, he thought that as a spirit born of steel and war, a ship girl couldn't possibly get sick, so he mistakenly assumed it might be a health supplement or something and didn't pay much attention to it.

He let out a soft breath, thinking that the current situation seemed to be under his control. However, he felt as if he was being recklessly tested on the edge of a hatchet, so the young man shook his head apologetically at his wife, Mrs. Lek.

"Ah, it's nothing, Lexington. Uh... by the way, it's already midday, how about we grab lunch here together? Glorious usually cooks a lot anyway."

The boy had no idea what Lexington was feeling at that moment. Hearing her beloved admiral's voice, Lexington forced a gentle smile at him, but when she heard the intimacy between her admiral and his words when he mentioned Illustrious, as if they were from an old married couple, her lips trembled slightly.

Her mood became somewhat down, and even the joy she had initially felt from finding the admiral had faded considerably. However, not wanting the young man to worry about her, nor wanting her beloved husband to see her looking so sad, she pretended not to notice anything and smiled as she responded to the young man's words.

"Although I really wanted to do that, Admiral, if I didn't go back, the kids who just went back wouldn't have lunch. So after meeting Glorious Sister, I took Jaja and Phelps back to the apartment first. Anyway, we'll see each other again tonight, right?"

"Is that so? Okay then."

Although his suggestion was rejected, the boy wasn't disappointed. In fact, it made him feel relieved. After all, it was too dangerous for Glorious, who had already boarded the ship but hadn't had time to buy a ticket, to stay with Mrs. Lek, his former beloved and first married ship.

Although they would eventually become close sisters and know about each other's relationship, the boy, who was not prepared at all, just wanted that moment to come a little later.

Lexington's gentle voice had barely faded when Jiajia, who had been repeatedly told by her older sister not to speak carelessly, began to struggle to understand her sister's decision. Peeking tentatively into the open kitchen door, she whispered to Lexington...

"Since my brother-in-law has already said so, sister, why don't we eat here? That Radiant One, who looks different from our naval base, seems very dangerous."

As the second ship of the Lexington-class aircraft carriers, and also as her brother-in-law's favorite second wife and sister-in-law, she felt a great deal of pressure when she saw such dazzling brilliance. Even the most carefree person in the room felt a great deal of pressure. The woman in front of her, who looked like she had two watermelons hanging on her chest, was a huge threat to her and her sister. Putting aside her lewd figure, her gentle and considerate temperament, which was almost as good as her sister's, was exactly the type that her brother-in-law could not resist.

Alarm bells rang in her mind. She thought that her brother-in-law had only bought tickets but hadn't even had a chance to board her and her sister's ship yet. How could she let a woman who came later get the chance? She was about to persuade her sister again, but unexpectedly, Lexington touched her hair and shook his head at her.

The clear, deep blue eyes before her seemed to be suppressing something, appearing very deep and serene. Although she didn't know what her older sister was thinking, Saratoga shut her mouth and obediently sat back down in her seat.

It wasn't that she gave up, but she knew that whenever her sister had that expression, it meant they were facing something very serious and important.

She sat up straight quietly, ignoring her sister who seemed to be deep in thought. She blinked and looked at her brother-in-law on the other side. She had originally wanted to exchange glances with her dear brother-in-law in this enemy's hideout, but she noticed that his face was covered with fine beads of sweat for some reason.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? Why are you sweating so much? The room isn't even that warm." She asked the boy, puzzled.

The room was not hot, even quite comfortable, but for this person, he was as panicked as an ant on a hot pan. There was no way around it, since just when he thought he had the situation under control, he saw the photo hanging on the wall.

That was a photo taken when he and Glorious were visiting the zoo. The reason why Glorious was so satisfied with the photo was because, no matter which angle he looked at it, he and Glorious looked too much like a couple. Although that was indeed the case, he was a little afraid to imagine what the consequences would be if Lexington, the First Lady, saw such a photo.

"Ah...it's nothing, Jiajia, it's probably because I was climbing the stairs..." The boy chuckled dryly, wiping the sweat from his forehead. He mistakenly thought that the two sisters in front of him hadn't noticed yet, and made up a lame excuse, feeling rather like he was deceiving himself.

He wanted to change the subject, but at that moment, a woman who had tied up her long hair at some point, losing a bit of her glamorousness but gaining a touch of alluring charm, walked into the living room carrying a tray full of teacups. Behind her, the somewhat shy unicorn followed closely behind, carrying a plate of sliced ​​apples.

Volume 1, Chapter 131: The First Wife

Pink slippers made a pleasant "tap-tap" sound on the wooden floor. She walked out of the kitchen, her gorgeous long silver hair tied up, which added an indescribable charm to her. She walked skillfully to the sofa, and then, under the gaze of the ship girls opposite, elegantly placed the black tea she had just brewed in front of the guests in the living room and her own admiral.

"Thank you, Miss Glorious. This must be the Unicorn Sister, right? What a cute little sister."

Just as he was wondering what the Admiral and Lexington had been talking about in the living room, and had just put away the tray in his hand, Glorious heard Lexington's soft and melodious voice.

Turning back to look at the unicorn beside her, who had also placed a tray full of apple slices stuck with toothpicks on the coffee table, and seeing her younger sister hiding behind her, somewhat embarrassed by Lexington's words, she smiled apologetically at Lexington.

"I'm sorry, Lexington-senpai, Unicorn is actually a little shy." Gently stroking Unicorn's light purple hair, and after tidying everything up, she pulled the little girl to sit opposite Lexington. Glorious gently smoothed the hair on her forehead.

However, for some reason, after hearing Lexington's words, she felt that the stunningly beautiful woman in front of her, who had captivated countless admirals, had a slightly different attitude towards her than before, and she didn't know if it was just her imagination.

"It's ok."

Compared to Radiance, who knew nothing at all, Lexington, seeing Radiance's relaxed attitude as if she were the mistress of the house, subconsciously grasped Gaja's warm hand and slowly shook her head at Radiance.

She glanced furtively at the boy beside her, whose expression seemed filled with fear as if he were about to face a final battle. A moment of hesitation appeared on her beautiful face, but she quickly concealed that trace of reluctance.

Although she knew her actions might put the admiral in a difficult position, the thought of the gaze that should have been hers being given to the sisters in front of her made her feel as if a tiny crack had appeared in her soft heart.

"But more than anything else, Miss Glorious, you must be wondering why I'm here, right?"

Her slender fingers gently caressed the smooth diamond ring. Seeing that the brilliance opposite her had successfully drawn her attention with her words, Lexington thought to herself that she would indulge herself just this once, and quietly sighed before raising her head.

"Actually, I came here to welcome you, Miss Glorious. Although you may not know this yet, as the Admiral's secretary ship, I still welcome you on behalf of everyone in our naval base."

"Ugh?"

With a gentle and beautiful smile that conveyed no hint of coldness, Lexington's soft words, carried on the aroma of black tea, reached Glorious's ears. However, upon hearing these words, which were completely unexpected, the gentle and mature Glorious was momentarily stunned.

What do you mean by "welcoming you on behalf of everyone in our naval base"? And what do you mean by "serving as the admiral's secretary ship"? Could it be that the admiral actually managed to retrieve the Lexington-class twins, who have countless amazing battle achievements, while he was away?

But... even so, shouldn't she be the one to say these words? A look of confusion appeared in her watery eyes, and she couldn't help but look at her beloved admiral with her bewildered gaze.

Feeling the confused look in Radiance's eyes, and finally realizing he could no longer hide, the nervous boy let out a long sigh, swallowed hard, and before Lexington could explain to Radiance, he touched his sweaty forehead and braced himself to speak.

"Ah, well... actually, it's like this, Glorious, don't be surprised to hear this..."

"Do you remember me telling you before that I had amnesia and only remembered the events of the past year? To be honest, before I met Xiaorou and you, I was already an admiral... and I was the admiral of Lexington and the others... even the Washington that the mentor mentioned before was one, I just didn't know it..."

After listening to the stammering explanation from the boy who was wiping away cold sweat, and feeling the enormous amount of information contained within it, Glorious, who had never imagined that such a thing could happen, was completely stunned.

She had heard the Admiral mention that he had no memories of his past, and she had indeed worried about him for quite some time because of this. However, no matter how much she tried to imagine what the Admiral was like before, she could never have imagined that he was an Admiral before he lost his memory, and not only that, but also the Admiral of the powerful Lexington-class battleships and the legendary battleship Washington.

So... she's not the Admiral's secretary ship... or even his first ship girl? Thinking of this, and realizing she suddenly had so many more sisters, her pretty face became slightly uneasy. Glorious felt her full chest tighten, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Radiant Sister..."

"Glory? Are you alright...? If you're not feeling well, you can go to the bedroom and rest for a while."

Sensing the change in her sister's emotions, the silent Unicorn looked at her Radiant sister with great concern, because Radiant sister's grip on her hand was gradually tightening. This time, Su Yuchen also noticed the change in her ship girl's expression and couldn't help but feel worried.

Even though he had used the least provocative language possible, and he didn't even dare to mention that he had multiple ship girls, he and Illustrious had always believed that Illustrious was his first ship girl and his lover.

"No, it's alright, Admiral... Illustrious was just a little surprised..."

Glorious shook her head slightly, her perfect face showing a hint of panic, but she still managed to suppress her unease and give the boy a smile. However, even though Lexington noticed the change in Glorious's expression, he felt extremely apologetic and did not intend to stop there.

Even if she is virtuous and generous, even if she tolerates her admiral's philandering, even if she agrees to her sisters' wishes to take their relationships with the admiral further, she is still a ship girl, a ship girl with her own selfish desires like Yi Xian. Her usual indulgence and magnanimity are only because no one can shake her position in the admiral's heart.

"Yes, before he disappeared a year ago, the admiral was already our admiral. If we hadn't protected him during that night raid a year ago, he might not have disappeared..."

"Lexington... let's not talk about these unhappy things anymore... what happened before the disappearance is all in the past, now it's just me and Glorious..."

"You mean the Admiral? I'm sorry, I brought up those unpleasant things again. Today is such a happy day to be able to find the Admiral, so let's not talk about these things. Glorious sister, as the Admiral's first wife, I and hundreds of ship girl sisters in our naval base are very happy to welcome you. Glorious lady, and Unicorn sister, ah... I should call you Glorious sister, it sounds more intimate that way."

Lexington gently interrupted the boy's words with a soft voice, lightly touching her soft cheek. As she spoke, she placed her left hand, adorned with a dazzling diamond ring, on her smooth knee, which was covered by stockings. Smiling, Lexington once again dropped a bombshell on the stunned Radiance.
