Besides, through the windows with their dark red curtains drawn back, one can see the vibrant, no, the gradually flourishing and completed high-rise buildings outside, the night gradually falling with the setting sun, the deep blue night sky, and further down, the fading afterglow.
For a moment, looking out the window at the beautiful scenery that could be described as city lights, Zheng Ri forgot that he was in the port area, in those high-rise buildings, in that steel forest, watching the sun set. If there was anything different, it was that he now had ship girls by his side.
There's also this different perspective compared to the past. Before, we looked up from a low place, but now we can look from a normal angle, or even from above.
This unusual situation made him feel confused and unfamiliar, but more than that, he felt a surge of excitement and speechlessness. However, this situation did not last long.
While Zheng Ri was deep in thought, Elizabeth spoke up to remind him to come back to his senses. Only then did Zheng Ri turn his gaze to Elizabeth, who was sitting opposite him. He saw the dissatisfaction on her face because of his neglect, but that dissatisfaction quickly disappeared, and she smiled again.
"Yes, that's more like it. If you're always looking out the window, you'll forget what's around you."
"Don't worry, it's just occasionally, a fleeting thought of things from the past. Besides, you're all here, how could I forget? Right, Belfast?"
After a moment of surprise at Elizabeth's reminder, Masaharu smiled and explained. Then he looked at the row of maid ship girls standing and waiting, with Belfast, the head maid, naturally in the center.
"Yes
"Master, you're right, but right now, what's in front of you deserves your attention more than what's happening outside the window, doesn't it?"
Belfast approached Zheng Ri, smiled slightly, and winked to indicate that she was right. Edinburgh then pushed the food cart in and came to Belfast's side. The latter skillfully served the freshly cooked roast lamb and roast suckling pig from the cart, cut them into pieces with a knife and fork, and divided them into two plates for Elizabeth and Zheng Ri.
"This is roast lamb and roast suckling pig prepared by King George V for Your Majesty and Your Excellency. However, considering that Your Excellency seems to prefer it a bit crispy, this is an extra preparation; it has a crispy skin. Please enjoy!"
When Zheng Ri saw the small plate of carefully sliced crispy roast suckling pig that Belfast brought out, and saw the pig skin being fried in hot oil, he knew what it was.
Cooking in a wok.
"Thank you, Belfast, that's very thoughtful."
"No need to thank me, Master. This is an extra gift prepared for you by King George V. He said he recently had the idea of conducting in-depth research on the recipes of the Eastern Empire, so please give me your general thoughts after tasting it."
"I will, or rather, I believe her cooking skills are excellent."
Belfast bent down to express her gratitude, speaking gently to him, her soft breasts drooping naturally with gravity, gradually drawing Zheng Ri's gaze.
Belfast, however, was not bothered. Instead, she wanted him to look at her a few more times. After exchanging glances with him, she stood up straight as if nothing had happened.
However, Elizabeth still saw it. Although she didn't say anything, she was still a little angry. They were getting bolder and bolder, daring to do this right under her nose.
"Belfa, what about what was prepared for me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, we also have a special dessert prepared for you, your favorite mousse cake, but not now."
Belfast's explanation cheered Elizabeth up a bit, and she turned a blind eye to Belfast's earlier behavior. After all, to get by, life has to be...
Afterwards, Belfast skillfully prepared the table, which was set out for Jeong-il and Elizabeth alone, and finally poured out a bottle of wine that looked very expensive. She then poured it into a wine glass with elegant technique and offered it to the two of them.
"Your Majesty, Master, this is a bottle of Paulinho Champagne that has been prepared. I hope you both enjoy it."
"Very good, Belfast. You can leave for now and go do other things."
"Yes, Your Majesty"
After doing all this in Belfast, she was dismissed by Elizabeth. Knowing what she should do, she returned to the maids' ranks. Elizabeth looked at Zheng Ri, her charming light blue eyes filled with joy, and raised her wine glass to him.
"So, do you know what to do, my servant?"
"Of course I know, my queen, but I've already sworn an oath, am I still a servant?"
"Because I am Her Majesty the Queen, you are not only the King, but also my servant. There is no conflict between the two, so, hmm~"
Hearing Elizabeth's spoiled explanation, Zheng Ri could only smile, raise his wine glass, and gently clink it against the champagne in her hand, making a crisp sound before drinking less than a quarter of the champagne in his glass.
"How does it feel?"
"Very...delicious"
"That's good. Take this opportunity to savor our royal cuisine. Don't look at our food with those stereotypes anymore; it has its merits, you know?"
"Understood"
Afterwards, Zheng Ri began to enjoy the royal cuisine. It must be said that it had its merits; the flavor was different, even though it was in its original place, so changing the name would have made it almost the same.
However, as he sipped his champagne, he felt a gaze fixed on him. It was Elizabeth staring intently at him.
"what happened?"
"Feed me"
Chapter 409 Gloucester's Resistance
"...Are you sure? I personally don't mind."
When Elizabeth stared at him intently and stated her request, Zheng Ri nodded slightly to indicate that it was no problem. However, he also glanced at the maids waiting on the side. He was fine with it himself, but he thought Elizabeth would probably be shy if Hermione and the others were looking at her.
Elizabeth naturally noticed his glance, and suddenly realized that the royal maids were still standing there. Her face flushed red, her lips trembled slightly, but she still spoke naturally:
"No, no problem. As Queen, I wouldn't care about those things. Besides, you're already my King. There's nothing shameful about these things. Alright, come on."
He glanced at the waiting maids and stole a look at their varied expressions. Some were chuckling, some were suppressing laughter, and some were expressionless. However, their gazes were all fixed on him, which made Elizabeth even more shy. But she still remained firm, slightly raised her head, opened her mouth, and closed her eyes.
"Ah...ah~~"
Seeing Elizabeth open her mouth towards him, Zheng Ri didn't do anything.
Instead, he carefully observed Elizabeth's parted lips, her small, cute, pink lips trembling slightly with shyness, and further inside, her healthy, rosy mouth exhaling a faint, fragrant breath.
Her small, fragrant tongue was gently wriggling, touching her pearly white teeth, making one want to play with and tease her fleshy tongue, feeling her shy and embarrassed attempts to avoid it.
"You! What are you doing?! Really..."
After more than ten seconds, Elizabeth realized that he hadn't made any movement. She opened her eyes in confusion and saw him staring at her. It was a bit puzzling, but being stared at like that, with his eyes fixed on her mouth, Elizabeth felt particularly embarrassed and annoyed. She gave him a playful scolding and then kicked him with her Mary Jane shoes.
Fortunately, I didn't use much force, otherwise it wouldn't have been as easy as just a slight pain.
"...I couldn't help but glance at you a few more times because you're so cute."
Looking at Elizabeth's coquettish appearance, Zheng Ri found her very cute, like a little girl who was easily angered but easy to coax. She was also clingy at times, and mainly because she was petite and adorable. He just wanted to see her like this most of the time.
"Well, cute... of course I'm cute! But if you want to see it, just tell me in private, in front of all these maids..."
Elizabeth crossed her arms over her chest, puffing out her already small breasts, and turned her face away shyly as she spoke. Her voice was so soft that Zheng Ri almost couldn't hear what she was saying, but the maids present did hear her and managed to keep smiling while trying not to laugh out loud.
But Elizabeth still managed to overhear a little bit.
"You may all leave now. Let me stay with my... servants for a while. I'll call you if I need anything."
“However, Your Majesty, given what happened today, I believe we still need to be more cautious…”
In response to Elizabeth's request, Gloucester stepped forward, placed one hand on his chest, and spoke solemnly, after all, today had seen the incident of META approaching and robbing the Commander.
This matter is extremely important to the ship girls; basically all of them already know about it, and those out on patrol or on missions are also generally aware of it. The general consensus is the same. (Skirt number 6*93)15
A commander needs at least three to five ship girls to protect him. No matter what he is doing, he must be surrounded by ship girls at a distance of five to ten meters to ensure his safety.
This morning, META literally tore the protective barrier apart like paper, causing embarrassment to many Royal Navy ship girls.
Although the commander ultimately did not encounter any problems and welcomed two new META companions, the Royal Navy ship girls still felt somewhat ashamed, especially if a second problem occurred.
They might face scrutiny when it comes to fighting for their rights.
Gloucester's words made Elizabeth frown, her little face showing some indecisiveness. After all, such a thing had only happened recently, so it was normal to be wary. But would such a thing happen again?
Elizabeth doesn't think META will come looking for her again, unless it's the Sirens, but even the Sirens won't work!
"It's alright, Gloucester, this won't happen again."
"Her Majesty the Queen!"
Seeing that the Queen was determined to stick to her ideas, Gloucester frowned. Taking another step forward to express his disagreement was not to be disrespectful, as there was no royal tradition of doing so. However, he needed to understand the importance of the matter. Gloucester was very clear about the private love between the Queen and his master versus his master's personal safety, and he knew which was more important.
"Gloucester, are you going against what I'm doing?"
As Gloucester walked straight toward her, Elizabeth looked at her with a mixture of surprise and caution, for this was the first time she had openly defied her.
"Your Majesty! This matter..."
"Gloucester, please respect His Majesty's wishes."
Just as Gloucester was about to go forward to discuss the matter, Newcastle had already arrived in front of her, looking at her with a gentle smile, reminding her what she was supposed to do.
"New...I understand."
After exchanging glances with Newcastle, Gloucester nodded, which earned Newcastle's satisfied nod. Then, returning to his current position, Gloucester apologized to Elizabeth.
"I apologize, Your Majesty, I was too radical."
"It's nothing, Gloucester. I understand what you mean, but you should all go down now. I'll keep an eye on this."
Elizabeth nodded as she spoke, but the happy expression on her face was gone. However, the maids still obeyed her orders and gradually left the current floor, at least out of the sight of the commander and the queen.
Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief only after they had all left, feeling a little helpless and regretful, but she quickly suppressed it, as it was insignificant compared to the current situation.
"Alright, now you can feed me, right, my king?"
"Sure, but feeding him with a fork isn't really a good idea."
"?"
In Elizabeth
Before she even realized it, Jeongil had already stepped forward and kissed her.
Chapter 410 Enjoying and Appreciating Royal Cuisine
"You! You!..."
Elizabeth, who was being forcibly kissed, stared at him with wide eyes, but before she could say anything, he continued kissing her, leaving her no choice but to accept his kisses. Her body gradually relaxed from its initial tension until the kiss ended.
"Why are you in such a hurry? They just left..."
After the kiss ended, Elizabeth leaned back slightly, put down the knife and fork she was holding, placed her hands on her thighs, turned her head slightly to look at him, and stared at him with her cute, blinking eyes. But rather than saying anything, she was expressing her happiness, though she couldn't show it.
"That just proves my Elizabeth is very alluring. Alright, come here and sit on my lap. I want to tell you about Gloucester."
Seeing that Elizabeth had gone from being arrogant to being mostly spoiled, Zheng Ri put down his knife and fork, patted his thigh, and extended a warm invitation to her. Elizabeth pouted slightly, then obediently sat on his lap from opposite him, and then relaxed her body against his chest.
Although it was nice that he asked her to sit down, Elizabeth didn't like what he was about to say.
"There's nothing to say. They're all the Queen's maids. Although... I know it's my fault, but! I just want to spend a little more time with you today!"
As he recounted what had just happened, Elizabeth spoke persistently, crossing her arms and looking at him. All she wanted was to spend more time with him, and then even more, but he was agonizing over something like this.
"It's good that you know, my Elizabeth. I thought you were unaware of your problem."
Zheng Ri stroked her head, feeling the soft, silky texture, and also stole a glance at Gloucester, who was peeking out. There was a hint of emotion and relief in her eyes. After all, it was quite difficult to get the Queen to apologize to her subordinates.
Although it's not impossible.
"Hmph! I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand their mistakes even when they're aware of them!"
"And you, as my king, do not trust me? I need to apologize!"
Elizabeth snorted, displeased with his distrust. She wasn't stupid or foolish, so why should he say such things to her? She then told him that she needed his apology. Zheng Ri understood that he should do something for the spoiled Queen.
"Of course, this is my fault, Elizabeth. Here, as my apology, let me offer you this pan-fried dish that King George V prepared for me."
Zheng Ri smiled, then forked a piece of fried pork called "Guo Shao" and put it to her mouth. Seeing her still pouting little mouth, which was slightly attractive to her, Elizabeth glanced at the meat he forked and opened her mouth again.
"Ah~~~ Mmm...Delicious!!"
This time, Zheng Ri didn't tease her. Instead, he put the pot of roasted meat into her mouth and watched her close her mouth and slowly chew it, looking as cute as a little squirrel gnawing on a pine cone. Soon, Elizabeth opened her eyes and smiled in praise.
"Isn't it delicious? Although I only had one bite myself, I have to say Qiao Wu's cooking skills are excellent. The texture is crispy, delicate, and the meat is very juicy. I'm even thinking of learning how to make it."
"Can you cook?... If you can, then hurry up and learn! Serving me will bring you a great reward."
Elizabeth looked at him suspiciously, then quickly remembered that he could indeed cook. So she put on a haughty expression and instructed him to learn to cook for her, speaking in a strange accent.
"You can't sound arrogant like that. As for learning, we can talk about that another time."
Considering that he was constantly running around to different places every day, and that many ship girls would come looking for him, Masahi gave a somewhat dismissive answer after a moment's thought.
I really don't have time. I'm always either with this person or that person. I don't have any personal time at all. Now, even when I go to the toilet, there are people outside.
"Hmm? We'll talk about that later. Right now... hurry up and feed me, I'm starving!"
After thinking about how he would be spending time with King George V and being intimate with him, Elizabeth decided to let it go and opened her mouth to him, asking him to feed her.
"Okay, okay, then you should eat more, otherwise you might not have the energy later."
Zheng Ri looked at Elizabeth as if she were a lamb about to jump into a trap, well-fed, cleaned, and waiting for him to make the first cut.
Soon, after a dinner that lasted almost an hour, Zheng Ri finally managed to fill the belly of this proud little golden retriever, and also ate quite a bit himself. After all, it was a rare treat to enjoy royal cuisine, so he wanted to savor it properly; if it wasn't good, then...
However, after the meal, Elizabeth looked at him with teary eyes, seemingly at a loss. Although she already knew what was going to happen, she still felt unsure of what to do when it actually happened, feeling both nervous and excited.
After all, this was going to be an in-depth investigation, the kind where you know my strengths and weaknesses. This made Elizabeth feel particularly shy, but she couldn't refuse.
