How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

The cake on the plate has been eaten, but the smile on her face remains.

The unicorn shook his head imperceptibly.

There was no need to plead for York's sister's unreasonable behavior, and finally there was no need to approach the boy in front of him with any other purpose.

All worries can be put aside together because she knows.

Her brother is a very good person...

Chapter 119: The Royal Knights' Determination

"Damn it... How could I possibly..."

The Duke of York gnashed his teeth.

The roar of naval guns and the clashing of swords have not stopped since this morning.

The girl continued to vent her unwillingness in the training ground.

"How could I possibly feel panic, guilty, or... in front of a human being?"

Like a kaleidoscope, the scenes of that day flashed before the Duke of York's eyes one after another, with extraordinary clarity.

Until now, she can still recall her emotions at that time clearly.

There had been surprise, confusion and guilt, but the Duke of York would never admit it.

In front of Zhou Xuan, she actually felt fear.

Fear of the strong? Or fear of humans?

How can it be!

Even when facing the Siren fleet, even when she was in a desperate situation, she had never had such feelings, let alone facing a human being?

The Duke of York denied it flatly, and she was eager to get rid of the troubles and cut off her inner demons.

So, from what she imagined in her mind, everything she saw in front of her was no longer the imaginary enemy targeting the Siren.

Instead, it transformed into the tall and handsome figure of Zhou Xuan.

The Duke of York put away the ship's huge cannons and held only the magnificent sword.

Holding the sword in one hand, he swung and chopped, each attack was extremely fast and contained personal emotions.

The picture was fragmented and scattered, but Zhou Xuan's figure took shape in her mind again as she imagined.

It could not be waved away, nor could it be cut off. It just lingered in front of her, complementing her determination.

The Duke of York looked sharp as he stared straight ahead, directly in the direction of Zhou Xuan, and clenched his teeth.

"My faith will not be shaken by you. Just wait and see, Zhou Xuan!"

"I will win..."

The high morale and sudden determination, under the influence of various factors, finally covered up her uncontrollable emotions.

Even if the determination is extremely loud, it is kept in the heart and cannot be known to others.

The footsteps came closer and closer, accompanied by an unknown clacking sound. Behind her, a figure gradually approached.

"Sister York has been up so early lately..."

"You probably haven't had breakfast yet, how about some cookies?"

"How?"

Waking up from his obsession, the Duke of York immediately saw the blonde girl beside him and the bag of biscuits stretched out in front of her.

Instead of rejecting her kindness, the Duke of York responded and extended his hand.

He picked up a cookie from the pile and took a bite before saying this.

"Are you coming to train too? Hao."

Hao shook her head at first. Her cheeks were so full that she didn't rush to speak. After she had some space left, she opened her mouth slightly and spoke.

"No, Sister Wales asked me to come and see you."

"She said that you seem to be a little abnormal recently and asked me to ask you something."

The Duke of York did not actually hear clearly Howe's answer.

Through imagination and understanding of Wales, the answer that was vague due to chewing was finally fully realized.

The Duke of York suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

"Why do you say that?"

"Isn't it always like this during exercises, training, and duty?"

"Emm, that's true..."

Equally confused, Howe raised her eyes and carefully recalled the instructions Wales had given her.

"Let me think about whether Sister Wales has any other explanations."

As he was thinking deeply, he ate one cookie after another.

Time kept passing, and the crisp sound always lingered in the ears of the two.

Unable to find an accurate answer, Hao just shrugged and said.

"I have no idea, but Sister Wales did tell me so."

"Forget it. If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. Come on, have another cookie."

The two hit it off immediately, one handed over the bag and the other picked up the biscuits, both responding to each other tacitly.

And quietly watching Howe relax, for some reason, the Duke of York suddenly felt relieved that his secret was hidden.

Even feel lucky for it...

"By the way, what do you think of the human commander during the encounter that day?"

"I heard from Sister Wales that Her Majesty the Queen was not angry about this. On the contrary, she looked at her with a meaningful look."

"You think there's no trick here? Maybe your action was expected by the other party."

"The person who set up the trap fell into the other party's language trap or something."

"If that's the case, this commander should not be underestimated, Sister York."

Based on the information she had obtained, the girl spoke with reason and evidence.

He was so busy thinking that he didn't notice the increasingly stiff expressions of the people around him.

Finally unable to hold back any longer, the Duke of York interrupted.

"Alright Hao! Why do you need to analyze it so carefully?"

"Although this was done intentionally for experimental purposes, Zhou Xuan is still a mortal."

"You think I will lose to a mortal human being?"

Before she knew Zhou Xuan, this question was basically an easy one for her.

But with so much information laid out, Hao thought about it carefully and said.

“It’s hard to say…”

I thought for a long time before giving such an answer, and it was an ambiguous response.

The Duke of York was so angry that he couldn't help but give her a cold look.

"Hmph, my stupid sister, please watch out for me."

"I must defeat Zhou Xuan in the exercise in a month, and achieve victory in a clean and decisive manner!"

Just meeting once, because of a deliberate agreement, was enough to inspire such a strong determination in her.

Hao began to feel surprised, and she became more and more curious about the commander whom she had never met before.

Having never met Zhou Xuan, Hao was unable to deeply understand her feelings regarding her determination to win;

"That kind of thing, even if you win, you won't feel much sense of accomplishment, right, Sister York?"

"Will others really say that I won unfairly?"

"We are knights! We are the Royal Knights, Sister York."

"Sharpening the sword to attack the weak, I don't remember there being such a rule in the chivalrous code."

Questions came to her like a string of arrows, striking straight into her heart.

Without explaining, nor wanting to explain, the Duke of York just turned around and shouted in the direction of Zhou Xuan.

"It's not an unfair victory! Zhou Xuan is not as simple as you think."

"Anyway, I...I...I will definitely beat Zhou Xuan!"

It was a very loud determination, but the only response she got was the crunching sound of the crispy biscuits being crushed, which was not very impressive.

Hao: o.0

The more he looked at it, the more he felt despised. With an anger and humiliation that came from nowhere, the Duke of York snatched the biscuit from his sister's hand and chewed it with pleasure.

At the same time, as her gaze shifted, her firm determination was misdirected.

Zhou Xuan was not at his residence at the moment. He came to Elizabeth's palace early in the morning. They drank black tea and smiled at each other.

"Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative, guide the other party according to their personality, and finally put forward conditions."

"It's a clever move, with everything connected to one another."

"But it's really hard for Bismarck. With her status, she has to cooperate personally and serve as your exclusive actor."

Although she was analyzing the situation step by step and still speaking up for Bismarck, Elizabeth's eyes were always on Zhou Xuan in front of her.

With a faint smile, motionless.

"Get ready, Zhou Xuan."

"Next, it's your turn."

Chapter 120: Was it intentional... or accidental?

Even if Wales and others were unwilling to admit it, the Iron Blood Party, especially Zhou Xuan, were distinguished guests personally invited by their royal family and they could not be neglected.

As for making friends over wine and entertaining Zhou Xuan and others, a grand dinner is naturally the most appropriate activity.

Elizabeth quickly set the schedule and the dinner was scheduled for two evenings later.

Not only does it require the royal side to make time to arrange preparations.

This also leaves some extra time for Zhou Xuan and others to choose their dresses.

After all, when it comes to women's dresses, the royal family has many ready-made exquisite dresses to choose from.

As for men's suits, they need to be measured and customized according to Zhou Xuan's body shape.

The person in charge of making Zhou Xuan's dress was Hermione, whom she had met in the restaurant before.

When she knew Zhou Xuan's needs, the lively maid took the initiative to step forward.

She was very clever and skillful and she made the dress in just one day and delivered it to him personally.

In a busy state of mobilization, the two days passed quickly.

The sun sets in the west, and the night in October comes much faster than in midsummer.

The night sky is filled with darkness, and the birds flying in the sky are returning to their nests one after another at this moment.

There are less than two hours left to prepare for the scheduled dinner.

Everyone was busy, not only in the meeting hall, but also in the huge room, there was a man and a woman busy at work.

"Commander..are you alright over there?"

After fixing his tie and fastening the two buttons on his dress at the waist, Zhou Xuan raised the corners of his mouth while admiring the handsome look of the person in the mirror.

"I'm fine, how about you Ron?"

"Well, the situation doesn't seem optimistic. Commander, can you come and take a look?"
