I really don't have money for the ship girls.

"Excuse me, Commander, I'm sorry to have disturbed you and Belfast. Um... please continue."

Glorious quickly closed the door, biting her lip tightly, her right hand lightly touching her chest. She thought to herself, "No wonder she's the perfect and elegant head maid Belfast. She managed to get the commander to accept her in just half a day. She's more decisive and elegant than I was, who struggled for a long time before deciding to come to the night raid. That's how she got what she wanted."

He was happy for her, but also felt a pang of sadness, since he was the one who was to be married and should rightfully be the one to marry her.

Guanghui sighed softly, but finally smiled. Yes, he could do it too. Guanghui, you can do it!

Inside the room, Ying Tian and Prince Eugen looked at each other in bewilderment.

Guanghui's misunderstanding was obvious, and Yingtian immediately covered his face, realizing that he couldn't explain himself at all...

Chapter 74 I'm Going to Challenge My Moral Boundaries

"It seems Glorious is quite surprised; he can even mistake my hairstyle for Belfast's."

Prinz Eugen, propped up on her lap next to Ying Tian, ​​watched him pick up his phone and blinked: "Commander, aren't you going to explain?"

"It's a small matter. I'll send you back first and then explain." Ying Tian searched through the names in the chat software and asked, "By the way, is Bismarck or Frederick the Great in charge of Ironblood? Never mind, I'll just go find Frederick the Great directly. I guess this matter involves more than just Ironblood. There must be quite a few people involved."

"Is the commander angry?"

"Not at all. In fact, seeing you guys act like this, I feel a little smug. After all, I'm just an ordinary person. Men still have a lot of vain moments."

Princess Eugen leaned forward, covering the phone in Ying Tian's hand with her slender hand, and said, "Commander, don't rush to contact them. Let me say a few words before you take any action, okay?"

Ying Tian thought for a moment, then put his phone aside: "I'll give you five more minutes."

Prince Eugen immediately stopped smiling, put his hands and feet together, and sat up straight, his capable demeanor immediately infecting Ying Tian, ​​who straightened up and stopped leaning against the edge of the bed.

"Commander, I have a question for you. Please answer truthfully."

"explain."

Prince Eugen tilted his head slightly, turned sideways, and looked at Yingtian: "Has the Commander truly accepted the identity of the Commander?"

"Of course," Ying Tian replied matter-of-factly. He had been called that for months and had long since accepted it.

I don't think so.

"You say it's not necessarily true, but does that mean it isn't?"

“Of course not, I have evidence.” Prince Eugen stroked his smooth chin and pointed to the room, saying, “The Commander is neither with his close friend, the Prince of Wales, nor with his rightful marriage ship, Glorious. Instead, he is living alone in a room. Even the head maid, Belfast, is very careful around him. That is the evidence.”

Ying Tian retorted, "What kind of evidence is that? If I invite them all in to sleep together, does that prove that I've completely accepted it?"

"Commander, don't be in such a hurry."

"I'm not in a hurry."

Prince Eugen curled his lips and said persuasively, "It's not that you didn't accept it, but that you couldn't fully accept it. Actually, I can understand that, because these are two completely different lifestyles, like war and peace. Almost no one can switch between them seamlessly."

Ying Tian fell silent. Prince Eugen, seeing Ying Tian deep in thought, wondered if he had gone a bit too far, since it's hard for anyone to accept being rejected.

Then Prince Eugen saw Ying Tian get up from the bed, walk to the small table, pour a glass of water, and hand it to Prince Eugen with both hands, looking at her with eager eyes: "Well said, continue, I'll give you another five minutes."

Princess Eugen blinked, finding her commander both adorable and outstanding. She took a sip of water and said, "Take Illustrious for example. She's your marriage ship. Let me give you an example that's easier for you to understand: Illustrious is like your childhood sweetheart. You said you wanted to marry her when you were little, and while she took it seriously, you didn't take it to heart, and now you feel distant. But that's completely unnecessary. Why are you childhood sweethearts? Because you have a good relationship. Just like why your marriage ship is Illustrious, and not someone else, it's naturally because of your love for her. As long as it's love, there's no hierarchy."

"Take maids for example. It's normal that the commander doesn't understand because he doesn't have the relevant life experience. There is no salary for being a maid in the port, and you have to do all sorts of things when asked. However, Belfast and the others still choose to be maids because it is not only their job, but also their interest and hobby. If there is no love, what kind of unpaid work can be persisted for so long?"

"And the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Wales whom the Commander loves so much now. I remember she didn't even have an MK6 before, and she was equipped with a 410mm twin-mounted gun, a battle gun that Nagato didn't even use. The Commander changes his mind so quickly."

"So, just like going to school or entering the workforce, the Commander has already embarked on a different kind of life, it's just that you haven't fully adapted yet, right?"

Prince Eugen held a water glass, his beautiful, amorous eyes gazing at Yingtian. Seeing that Yingtian didn't react, he picked up the glass and prepared to take a sip.

Then Ying Tian took her water glass away. Prince Eugen blinked innocently as he watched Ying Tian run around emptying the cold water from the glass, then take a can of cola from the refrigerator and pour it into the glass.

Yingtian held the cup with both hands and solemnly handed it to Prince Eugen once again: "Don't drink water, drink cola. This is delicious and strong."

Prince Eugen couldn't help but chuckle, taking the cola and saying, "It seems the Commander agrees with what I said."

“Yes, hearing your words is like seeing the sun after the clouds have parted, and I have suddenly understood everything…” This time it was Ying Tian’s turn to laugh. “Okay, it’s not that exaggerated. I actually understand these principles, but it’s just that those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly. Hearing what you said has given me a new perspective.”

"What did you gain?"

"The takeaway is that what you said makes sense. Listening to both sides leads to enlightenment, while believing only one side leads to darkness. I do need to hear some different voices."

Actually, it was all for the same purpose. Perhaps the Prince of Wales and his companions' methods were more romantic and subtle, but Ying Tian still preferred Prince Eugen's straightforward approach. After all, he wasn't unreasonable; he just hadn't fully adapted yet. As Prince Eugen said, from the moment he met the Prince of Wales, Ying Tian had entered a new phase of his life. Therefore, dragging it out would only torment himself and others.

Ying Tian stroked his chin and said, "I heard that there are quite a few people in the garrison headquarters who are actually somewhat resistant to me?"

"Is there?"

"Definitely."

Prince Eugen said, "That's just the flat-chested blonde girl's way of complaining. Just like my sister Hipper, she says she hates it, but she still secretly buys the Commander's custom underwear."

"So there really are people buying them..."

“Sold out.” Prince Eugen glanced down and smiled, saying, “I must say, the Commander is quite something. Everyone sees that you can only wear underwear with holes, so even if you have a grudge, you’re too embarrassed to say it.”

"Actually, it's just laziness."

Princess Eugen pressed her hands against the soft bed and said, "So, Commander, can you please not send me away?"

Ying Tian thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, your behavior is still very irregular. You didn't notify me before the teleportation, which violated our previous agreement, so I have to punish you."

Princess Eugen crossed her arms over her chest. Although Ying Tian had just commented that her breasts weren't big enough, her full and perfect pear shape was absolutely captivating and alluring; the curves alone were enough to entice her.

"How does the commander intend to punish me?"

"You'll sleep with me tonight."

Prince Eugen was stunned. It was so straightforward all of a sudden, and this was really a punishment, not a reward?

“You’re right. If there were no feelings involved, you wouldn’t make such intimate gestures. You did the same thing just now,” Ying Tian said earnestly. “Prince Eugen, I think you must like me.”

"Yes, I love you," Prinz Eugen smiled dreamily. "But I say things like that all the time; whether it's true or not, you can judge for yourself, Commander~"

"Then I'll just assume that's the case."

“I kissed Wales today and did even more intimate things. After all that, I slept with another beautiful woman tonight. What a scumbag.” Ying Tian had a “who else but me” look on his face as he said to Eugen, “Prince Eugen, I need you to be my tool for one night. In order to get used to it as soon as possible, I’ve decided to challenge my moral bottom line.”

Prince Eugen was no longer laughing.

Such a cruel punishment; to kill someone and then destroy their spirit?

Chapter 75 When a misunderstanding forms a closed loop, the misunderstanding disappears!

The next morning, before dawn, the thin rays of the rising sun had just begun to spread across the horizon. A thin mist, like a veil, shrouded the sky, making the already dim light appear even dimmer.

However, this place is no longer the foggy city of A Tale of Two Cities. Even though there is still a thin fog in the early morning, London, as an international metropolis, has long been bustling with activity. Looking out of the hotel window, there is not only a constant flow of traffic and pedestrians, but also a sense of vitality and new life emerging from old trees.

The first to get up was the Prince of Wales. She walked into the hotel living room in her white pajamas, a hint of fatigue on her delicate face.

She didn't sleep well last night. One reason was that she was reminiscing about her intimacy with the Commander in Hyde Park. Another reason was that her woman's intuition told her that she seemed to have overlooked something. But what exactly was she overlooking?

Just as the Prince of Wales was rubbing his delicate brows in thought, Belfast, who had changed into a fully covered traditional maid's outfit, also came out of the room. The head maid, who was also not well-rested, was somewhat surprised to see the Prince of Wales sitting on the sofa.

"Wales, up so early?"

Last night he had already entered the master's room, but this morning he was able to refrain from any further intimacy. Belfast looked at Wales with a hint of admiration; such strong self-control was something even he himself couldn't match.

“I don’t usually sleep in.” The Prince of Wales looked up, noticing something odd in Belfast’s gaze. She touched her cheek and asked, “Is there something wrong with me?”

“There’s nothing wrong with it.” Bell covered the hem of her maid outfit with both hands and said with a light laugh, “In fact, Wales, you’re even more radiant now. No wonder people always say that women who are nourished by love are the most beautiful.”

"You're joking."

"No, I'm serious, I'm envious."

The Prince of Wales smoothed his blond hair and said, "Everyone has a chance. The Commander never ignores those who are good to him."

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

At this moment, Radiant also came out of the room in her pajamas. The scene she saw last night kept lingering in her mind, making her feel both heartbroken and full of motivation. If Belfast could do it, then she could do it too. So after thinking about it for a long time, she still slept for a while.

Seeing the Prince of Wales and Belfast already up and chatting in the living room, Glorious walked over and said, "Congratulations, Belfast, you've finally gotten what you wanted."

"Me?" Belfast was a little surprised. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but Glorious wasn't the type to be sarcastic.

Illustrious held her hands to her chest, her mature and gentle face full of fighting spirit: "I'm sorry for disturbing you and the Commander last night, but Belfast, you are really brave. I will learn from you."

"Is there some misunderstanding? I did go to the master's room last night, but..."

As Belfast was explaining, a figure suddenly flashed past the three of them, sat directly on the sofa, and embraced the Prince of Wales's delicate body.

Even someone as seasoned as the Prince of Wales, who had seen it all, couldn't help but blush slightly when embraced by the two men in front of her: "Commander, be careful, everyone's watching."

Ying Tian raised his head, looked at the Prince of Wales' beautiful face, and said earnestly, "Wales, I'm sorry."

Physiologically speaking, Ying Tian hadn't done anything to betray the Prince of Wales. Although he shared a bed with Prince Eugen last night, aside from Eugen wrapping her arms around his waist and gently rubbing her long, smooth thighs against his skin, nothing out of the ordinary had happened. On the contrary, the two had a pleasant conversation, and Ying Tian had learned quite a bit about the naval base.

The two-faced Admiral Hipper, the somewhat cold and aloof Tirpitz, the confident and unrestrained Egil, the helpless Bismarck with his sister, and Frederick the Great who strongly supports Eugen and Ron...

Perhaps for this reason, Ying Tian did not feel much guilt. Perhaps he had successfully crossed his own moral bottom line, or perhaps he had never had any concept of love and affection and had never been a man of faithfulness. After seeing the Prince of Wales, he realized that he was such a person and felt guilty.

"Why should I say sorry? I don't understand." Wales blinked, feeling like he had missed something.

"Because I can feel that you love me wholeheartedly, and I can't do the same. It's too despicable."

Without waiting for the Prince of Wales' reply, Ying Tian leaned close to her flawless face and kissed her directly, wanting to condense all the apology in his heart into this kiss.

Wales instinctively resisted for a moment, but quickly succumbed to Ying Tian's domineering presence. She felt shy doing this in front of Guanghui and the others, yet she also felt an uncontrollable sense of pride. "Look, the Commander loves me so much. Even in front of you, he still shows me affection without any restraint." Even though Wales knew that such pride was despicable, she still couldn't suppress these feelings.

There is selfless love, that's true, but there is more selfish love. The Prince of Wales certainly wants to have the Commander all to herself, but she can't completely give up friendship for love. Perhaps this is the contradiction of human emotions. Ship girls can't be as cold and hard as steel.

After releasing the Prince of Wales, whose face was flushed and breath was disordered, Ying Tian saw Guanghui's turned away and Belfast's clear eyes. He then felt a little embarrassed and said, "I figured some things out last night. I think I don't need to deliberately spend all 300,000 pounds. Of course, I will still spend money normally. Every penny is hard-earned now, so don't waste it on this kind of thing."

The Prince of Wales was trying to calm himself down. Illustrious and Belfast exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled by the commander's change in demeanor.

"That one, Glorious."

"Commander, I'm here."

Ying Tian asked cautiously, "Do you still accept the term 'wedding ship'?"

Radiance paused for a moment, then said calmly yet affectionately, pursing his lips, "Because the vow has been made, and the vow is eternal."

“Since you admit it, then I’ll shamelessly admit it too.” Ying Tian was still a little embarrassed. He looked at the stunned Guang Hui and said, “Um, I’d like to have fried eggs for breakfast. Thank you for your help.”

Guanghui bit her rosy lips, hardly believing her ears. She forced out what she thought was her most beautiful smile, her voice trembling: "Yes, there's a kitchen here. I'll go see if we have any ingredients."

Ying Tian nodded, then turned to Belfast and said, "People who can dedicate themselves selflessly are truly great. Unpaid maids are practically doing charity, aren't they?"

Belfast understood, and she smiled gently: "No, because a greedy maid will get what she wants from her master."

"That's already quite remarkable," Ying Tian said. "I'd like to take a bath, could you please run the water for me?"

Belfast blinked her clear blue eyes: "Please don't use 'trouble,' please use 'command.'"

"Help me... to put down the bathwater."

"Yes, my master."

Belfast bowed slightly, his smile and demeanor both exuding elegance.

Although the three were still a little puzzled as to why Ying Tian had changed so much, they each had their own answers.

Prince of Wales: The commander really noticed it. There's no need to say more; he is the most intelligent commander.

Belfast: Is this the power of pillow talk? Well done, Prince of Wales, I must admit defeat.

Glorious: As expected of the perfect and elegant head maid, how did you manage to be both intimate with and influence the Commander in one night? It's truly admirable.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Things Went A Little Too Smoothly

London has many scenic spots and landmarks, such as Big Ben, London Bridge, and Westminster Abbey. After all, it was once the capital of the British Empire, and its cultural heritage is quite rich.

However, Ying Tian's first stop was not any of the above, but the Highgate Cemetery in the northern suburbs, because a great thinker who was well-known in China was buried there. Ying Tian did not actually have any particular admiration for him, but just some sentimental feelings.

If this thinker knew that a younger generation was riding in a rented limousine, enjoying a throng of service, and had to pay four pounds per person for a ticket to pay homage to his tombstone, the great revolutionary mentor would probably not be very happy in the afterlife.

"Brother-in-law, drinking Coke so early in the morning... no, it has nothing to do with the time, drinking Coke like this is bad for your health."

Strolling along the tree-lined path through the cemetery, Victory gazed at Illustrious, the older sister walking quietly beside the Commander, feeling quite indignant on her behalf. Choosing a cemetery as a date spot so early in the morning—what kind of grotesque aesthetic was that? As the goddess of beauty, she had to give the Commander a good talking-to.

"I know it's bad for my health." Ying Tian gulped down a mouthful of cola, feeling great. "So I didn't have the means before, but now I'm going to take advantage of my good health and drink as many carbonated drinks as possible."

Shengli looked at Yingtian, her beautiful face filled with disbelief: "Brother-in-law, you really are... even more willful than me."

"Having the right to be willful is a good thing."

"Sister, aren't you going to do anything about your brother-in-law?"

"As long as the Commander is happy." Glorious held the unicorn's little hand. Where they went was not important to her. What mattered was being with the Commander. "You should drink less cola, but it's okay to be a little willful once in a while."

"Sister, you're spoiling your brother-in-law too much. He needs to be more proactive and show some assertiveness."
