Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!.

Chapter 800 08.799: "Matchmaking"

"Mr. Huntman, the quality of your uniforms is indeed impressive." The tall man had a gentle smile on his face and directly stated his purpose, interrupting the owner's slightly exaggerated compliments.

"Unfortunately, with the end of the Second Damocles Crusade and the subsequent wars in the Carpathian Star Region, most of the uniforms I customized previously have been damaged, and the remaining uniforms no longer fit due to changes in body shape. I need to customize them again, and the sooner the better."

"Of course! Of course! Lord Collingwood has already given instructions in advance!" Mr. Huntman nodded and bowed quickly, with an even more enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Oh? Archie?" Horatio raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Captain!" Before he finished speaking, a vibrant young man's voice came from the store.

A young officer wearing the standard Imperial Navy lieutenant uniform and with a brand new bicorne hat tucked under his armpit was walking towards Horatio with big strides and a bright smile on his face.

"Lord Captain Archie Cuthbert Collingwood, reporting to you!" Under the slightly curious and awe-inspiring gazes of all the customers and staff in the store, Archie stood at attention in front of Horatio and gave an impeccable military salute.

Horatio's gaze lingered on his slightly worn lieutenant's uniform for a moment, and he remembered that since the beginning of the Second Damocles Expedition, Archie had followed him as a naval lieutenant, fought bloody battles, and now he returned triumphantly and was promoted to lord captain based on his military exploits.

However, he apparently had not yet had time to customize a uniform for his new rank and was still wearing his old lieutenant's uniform as a temporary substitute.

"Mr. Collingwood has just arrived as well," Mr. Huntman added at the right moment, with a hint of flattery in his tone, "In addition to ordering new military uniforms, Mr. Collingwood also ordered uniforms for the entire fleet football team!"

"Team uniforms?" Horatio was a little surprised.

"Yes, Captain." Archie lowered his arms, his smile still on his face, "The end of this month will be the grand anniversary of Abridar Loyalty Academy.

According to tradition, various sports competitions are held during the school anniversary.

I was just thinking about asking you if we, the Swift Eagle, should also organize a representative team to participate in a football match, just like... just like when we were studying together at Zhongsi College, to relive the old days. "

"Of course. I can't even wait." Horatio smiled and took a long breath, memories of his time in military school flooding back to his mind.

"Mr. Collingwood."

A clear female voice sounded from the fabric display area a little further away in the store. A young girl in a burgundy high-end silk velvet dress and buckled leather shoes came running over with a few rolls of patterns in her arms. "Here are the alternative styles of the team uniforms you selected earlier. Take a look... which one do you like better?"

"Oh, silly girl, this is the captain."

Seeing this, Mr. Huntman hurried forward, pressed the girl's shoulders, and gently pinched his carefully waxed mustache. He pushed his daughter in Horatio's direction unnoticeably, and said with pride and expectation, "The captain should be the one to choose. My dear daughter, say hello to him."

"Hello, Captain..."

Horatio noticed that after the girl was pushed closer by her father, there was a hint of panic in her eyes, and two faint blushes appeared on her cheeks. From time to time, she would secretly glance at Archie with a bit of shyness. He understood and understood immediately.

"Don't be so reserved, Mr. Huntman," Horatio said with a smile, his tone gentle but unquestionable, deftly resolving the slightly deliberate embarrassment, "I believe my lord, the captain, can handle this matter."

Hearing this, the girl breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned, and timidly moved her feet to stand next to Archie.

The two of them then began to discuss in low voices the various team uniform styles on the drawing board, one giving serious instructions while the other listened attentively, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

Horatio noticed from the corner of his eye that in between discussions with Archie, the girl would still, from time to time, with a blush that had not faded, secretly glance at Archie's focused profile.

[Oh~ I see.]
"Is your daughter also studying at Plymouth College?" Horatio turned his gaze to Mr. Huntman and asked with a smile.

"Yes, your Excellency has a keen eye!" Mr. Huntman's face was immediately filled with a proud smile when he mentioned his daughter. "In order to send my daughter to this first-class institution recognized by this star region, I have spent a lot of effort and savings.

Coincidentally, the anniversary of Abridal College, one of the top five schools, is coming up soon. As usual, Plymmorpg College will also be the cheerleader for the anniversary celebration."

Horatio could see that Mr. Huntman felt genuine pride and a sense of accomplishment for the tailor shop he had worked so hard to run, and more importantly, for his daughter, whom he had carefully trained, to be able to enter such an institution and have the opportunity to make a name for herself in upper society.

For those wealthy merchant families who were not from ancient aristocratic families, sending their daughters to Plymmorp College was undoubtedly a precious ticket to the upper social circle.

There, young ladies will receive the most orthodox, strictest and purest ladies' education. The course content is not limited to etiquette and manners, but also includes a series of complex and comprehensive professional education such as general history of the empire, advanced grammar, basic astronomy, planetary geography, etc.

This college can be described as a special institution that combines the imparting of advanced knowledge with the training of top celebrities. It is said that many of its core faculty members are ceremonial nuns of noble status who specialize in etiquette instruction from certain religious orders.

Watching Archie and the girl discussing the details of the team uniforms seriously, one was handsome and the other was shy and cute.

Horatio looked at them with a pleased smile on his face.

He turned to Mr. Huntman and said in a calm but solemn tone: “Mr. Huntman, I already have a family, and a lot of them.

But my Lord Captain, Archie Cuthbert Collingwood, is a gentleman of excellent character and conduct, of outstanding ability and loyalty.

He served the Empire with the most devout faith and remained unmarried. Although he had not yet become a captain, his grandfather was once a major general in the Imperial Navy with outstanding military achievements. During the time he worked with him, his performance had never disgraced his ancestor's reputation.

Now, Archie has just returned from a long expedition, not only having achieved great military exploits and honors, but also receiving a considerable hunting bounty - of course, these material gains are just small embellishments to his character and virtues.

I assure you in my honor as the captain of the Supreme Lord of the Imperial Navy that this subordinate of mine, who was also my close friend and roommate at Zhongsi College, is a true warrior with a strong sense of responsibility and mission, and has been severely tested in countless cruel wars. "
