Luo Xi complained silently in his heart, and Belfast, who heard his inner voice, replied helplessly: "It is never too late to mend the fold after the sheep have been lost... But if the master only thinks about this now, it may be too late."
"Okay, but given the current situation...does Befa have any good ideas?"
Since Lord Amagi is not around, the head maid is the commander's most trusted think tank.
"Commander, you can try to keep Miss Eugen and Miss Spey in the Royal Palace temporarily. Since they didn't react immediately after recognizing Miss Zero, they must still be afraid."
……
Luo Xi gathered his thoughts and watched Eugen, Spey and Z1 reminisce about the past. He still held Zero in his arms. "The Siren's offensive has not yet reached Heaton Harbor. Miss Eugen and Miss Spey might as well stay in the Royal Palace first. It will also be convenient for Z1 and Z2 to understand the situation of Iron Blood. What do you think, Her Majesty?"
Without waiting for Eugen's answer, Luo Xi threw the decision back to Elizabeth. Although Luo Xi had not yet informed Her Majesty the Queen of the truth, he believed that the close understanding between the commander and the wedding ship was enough to understand each other's intentions.
Although she showed no hostility towards Z1 and Z2, Elizabeth subconsciously showed her dislike when facing a "bad woman" like Eugen.

"Hmm..." Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen widened her eyes at this moment, and had never expected that Luo Xi would make such an invitation.
But after hesitating for a moment, out of trust in the commander, she lowered her eyes slightly and said softly with some displeasure: "Since it is the commander's invitation... this king... this king naturally welcomes it..."
The friendship between Elizabeth and Luo Xi does not seem fake and is certainly worthy of envy, but now is not the time to be envious...Prince Eugen also realized that she was the unpopular one - if she had a choice, she would rather do what Queen Elizabeth wanted.
But seeing that the two people in front of him had decided in unison to keep him and Spee temporarily, Prince Eugen, who always liked to take the initiative, could not raise any objections.
She looked at the white-haired girl being held by Luo Xi. She looked completely harmless and delicate...
But in the eyes of Eugen, who knew Zero's identity as a Siren, Luo Xi was not holding a white-haired loli at all, but a nuclear bomb in white!
Even though Count Spee had some three-no attributes, she couldn't help but show a bit of panic on her cold and pretty face.
However, Prince Eugen could pinch Spey's wrists with his iron claws to give him a subtle reminder, but Spey couldn't poke Eugen with his iron claws...
Even Count Spee, who was accustomed to silence, felt a little uncomfortable facing this inexpressible pain.
"Stay at the Royal Palace temporarily? It seems hard to refuse such a kind invitation, but what do you think, Z1 and Z2? Let me take you to visit Heaton Harbor..."
Prince Eugen found an excuse and could only place his hopes on the two little expellees who also came from the Iron-Blooded Camp.
"The threat of the Sirens has not been eliminated yet. It might be unsafe if we go out to play rashly." Z2 decisively held Z1, who wanted to answer straightforwardly. The backstabbing words she said with a sweet smile made Prince Eugen feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
As smart as Z2 is, he had already noticed that the atmosphere at the scene was not normal.
Although it was unclear what exactly happened, between the iron-blooded comrade Prince Eugen whom she met for the first time and Luo Xi who took care of the two sisters in every possible way, Z2 chose Luo Xi without hesitation, who had not yet become her commander.
"That's right. Although it sounds good, it's still safer to be with Luo Xi." Although Z1 didn't notice anything wrong with the atmosphere on the scene, he subconsciously chose Luo Xi because of his trust in his sister.
"It seems that both Z1 and Z2 think so. As it is a special period, it is indeed not peaceful at present."
Luo Xi ended the discussion with a smile. He also realized the deterrent effect that Zero had on the two iron-blooded girls below, and he was still rubbing Zero's head gently.
"..." Prince Eugen opened his mouth but could not utter any words of rebuttal. In the eyes of Count Spee, which clearly showed resistance, she replied with difficulty: "Then thank you Commander Luo Xi for your kind invitation..."
The royal ladies present looked at each other in bewilderment, and all felt that they had seen a fake Prince Eugen.
Luo Xi showed a satisfied expression, pinched Ling's belly through the thick clothes, and waited until the girl got up from his body before continuing:
"Then let me and Befa go together to arrange accommodation for Miss Eugen and Miss Spee. We can't let the guests feel neglected. Does Zero want to come along?"
Ling blinked her deep blue eyes blankly. She had never been ambitious, but she was very satisfied with her identity as the mascot secretary ship. Since when did she need to be responsible for such things?
"As the secretary ship of the port, Zero should at least entertain guests more seriously, right?"
Luo Xi's tone became a little more severe, and he dragged Ling down the stairs.
He did not tell Ling that Siren's identity was exposed. As the closest person who had slept in the same bed with him for many years, Luo Xi did not think that the Siren girl was someone who could hide her thoughts.
If Zero heard that his identity was exposed, he would have to take it seriously. Not only would he not be able to provide any positive help, but he might even further scare Prince Eugen and Count Spee.
Prince Eugen finally calmed down at this time. At this point, the girl also realized that Luo Xi did not intend to kill them in order to keep the secret... However, facing the threat of the Sirens still made her feel quite uneasy.
Especially with Count Spee by his side...even though Prince Eugen, who is skilled and courageous and confident in his luck and strength, has to worry about the safety of his companions.
With different thoughts in mind, Luo Xi led several girls through the lobby of the Royal Palace. "Z1 and Z2 live on the second floor of the West Tower... If you don't mind, can Miss Eugen and Miss Spey live on the third floor of the West Tower?"
There are more than two rooms on the first floor of the West Tower, but Luo Xi still subconsciously divided the four iron-blooded girls into different floors - although Z1 and Z2 have been very close to him, they have not officially joined the port area after all.
One must always be on guard against others. Even though he was under Zero's suppression, Luo Xi still had to be wary of Prince Eugen and the others, to prevent the lovely pair of Z-drive sisters from being abducted by the ship girls from the same camp.
……
Volume 475: Being pressed on the chest by Spey's iron claw
"The living environment is quite warm and comfortable..." Prince Eugen gently stroked the warm bed with his hands, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Really? Miss Eugen can still see the stars at night... Although Valkyrie can also see the stars, the sky in Heaton Harbor is still clearer!"
Zero said as he leaned over to help Eugen make the bed.
Although the guest rooms in the royal palace are cleaned regularly by royal maids, these spacious and comfortable rooms still lack some breath of life because they have been uninhabited for a long time.
"Thank you, Miss Zero..." Eugen relaxed a lot, but instead looked in the direction where Luo Xi had left with a strange and secretive expression - unfortunately, Luo Xi took Spee to another guest room, under the pretext of introducing the guest to their future residence, so she couldn't find a reason to refuse.
Moreover, Prince Eugen was not a slow-witted fool. He had long realized that the fair-skinned girl in front of him was completely unaware that her identity had been exposed... After all, not everyone has the acting skills to pretend to have that harmless and innocent look.
Apart from her pure white skin, there is absolutely no difference between her and ordinary shipgirls...
Could it be that Luo Xi was deliberately showing them the friendly side of the Siren? She had to admit that the effect seemed to be quite good. It was now difficult for her to have any ill feelings towards the Siren girl named "Zero".
As Prince Eugen thought about this, his resolute determination to escape softened a little... He decided to stay a few more days and see how things went.
……
In the guest room across the wall, while Ling was communicating with Prince Eugen, Luo Xi went to find Count Spee, who seemed a little introverted.
"Hmm?" Before Luo Xi could get close, Count Spee turned around vigilantly, and the pair of ship-mounted mechanical claws that had not been retracted reacted quickly. The back of the iron claws, which were not sharp but still flashed with a cold light, pressed directly on Luo Xi's chest.
Even through a layer of clothes, Luo Xi could still feel the chill emanating from those ferocious claws - Admiral Count Spee must be no ordinary person, as he could travel with Prince Eugen and represent the Iron Blood to rush to the aid of Heaton Harbor. Perhaps there would be Siren mass-produced battleships that could be torn apart by her pair of iron claws.
But... the girl's expression could not be faked - compared to Luo Xi, who had the claws pressed on his chest, Count Spee, who looked more powerful, was obviously more panicked.
"Miss Spee, please calm down." Belfast frowned and looked a little serious. Threatening the commander in front of the wedding ship was a great provocation.
"Don't worry about it, Befa. I think... Miss Spee is a little nervous?"
Luo Xi tried his best to make his tone softer, but he also controlled his expression so that he wouldn't look like a weird uncle who was seducing a naive ship girl.
Count Spee, who had overreacted before, now blushed slightly and lowered the iron claw he had raised in front of Luo Xi.
Although she still did not take it back completely and still kept it on her arm, she looked very ashamed.
"Sorry... I overreacted..." The girl explained herself with a blushing face, but due to the ferocious iron claws, she couldn't do anything else.
"This is the royal palace. It is indeed possible that Miss Spee might easily become nervous. My dear Lord Befa, could you go and accompany Zero and Eugen first?"
Belfast looked at her master helplessly and resentfully, having never expected that she, a pure member of the family, would be the one being "driven out" of the room.
However, the head maid was not someone who would throw a tantrum at a critical moment. After winking at the commander encouragingly, she lifted the hem of her skirt, saluted like a lady to the two people in the room, and then turned around and left.
……
As Luo Xi expected, Spee's mood calmed down a lot after leaving Belfast.
The girl folded her iron claws in front of her with an apologetic look on her face and bowed slightly to Luo Xi, "I'm sorry... Although I'm not very interested in royal etiquette, I still want to apologize to you solemnly..."
"Count Spee, can you relax a little? I don't know when the counterattack against the Sirens will be completed. If you keep a tense face like this, it will be very tiring, right?"
Luo Xi still looked friendly, but Count Spee refused to say anything more after his apology.
No matter what questions Luo Xi asked, Count Spee would always answer him with just a few syllables, such as: "Hmm...", "That's right..." and so on.
He seems to be easier to get along with than Prince Eugen, so why has he become so tight-lipped?
Luo Xi, who was having a headache, looked at the particularly attractive highlighted hair on Count Spee's forehead and asked directly: "Why doesn't Miss Spee want to chat with me more? Facing such a lovely girl, I can't say a few words to her. It really makes me feel a little regretful..."
Count Spee's cheeks flushed with an alluring blush, and he felt slightly happy because of Luo Xi's answer - even though she was often teased by her Iron Blood companions as "the cutest one in the Iron Blood", it was the first time she received praise from the opposite sex.
Not to mention... the man who praised her was a commander, a commander who made Count Spee feel very comfortable subconsciously and who he couldn't help but want to get close to.
The girl hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and then she replied softly: "Lord Bismarck has told Miss Eugen that when facing the Royal Fleet Girl in Heaton Harbor, you must be more restrained and be careful in what you say and do..."
"…I think that when Mr. Bismarck said this, he was probably targeting Miss Eugen alone."
Although the time he spent with Count Spee was not long, he could see that the girl in front of him was actually a quiet and introverted person.
It was for this reason that when Luo Xi heard Spey being so self-conscious, he subconsciously complained. At the same time, thanks to Spey's reminder, Luo Xi also remembered the Bismarck in his previous life's game memory - he remembered it very clearly, it was the flagship of the Iron Blood.
"Commander Luo Xi?" Count Spee saw that the commander in front of him did not respond after speaking, so he asked cautiously in a low voice.
After communicating with Luo Xi once, it seemed like a natural thing and she had no resistance to subsequent communication.
Luo Xi came back to his senses and coughed a few times as if to cover up, then made a cup of black tea for Count Spee... No matter what the reason was, he still felt a little embarrassed to be distracted in front of the cute ship girl.
"Spee, just call me by my name - that's what Z1 and the others call me too." Luo Xi went a little over the line and also directly called Count Spee by his name.
As Luo Xi expected, Spey was not a person who cared much about etiquette. She hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement and replied with her cherry lips slightly parted:
"Luo Xi... well, there is actually no need for complicated etiquette - thank you for the black tea, but... I don't have the right to enjoy this kind of leisure drink."
……
Volume 476: Attempt to remove Spey's Iron Claw
Hidden under Spee's silent mask is the psychological trauma she experienced in her previous life as a warship - although most of the girls in the port area have completely accepted the mentality of a brand new life, for example, Xuefeng, who has almost conquered the entire Pacific Ocean, is a naive and cute little tsundere...
But there are also shipgirls like Spee who have not been able to get rid of the shadow of their past lives. Facing the silent girl, Luo Xi sighed and aroused his love and sympathy.
"The war is over." Luo Xi's eyes swept over Spey's pair of iron claws that were obviously incapable of fine grasping, and he took the initiative to raise the teacup in front of her, "Since Spey doesn't want to taste it, let me feed you."
"Hmm..." Before Spee could say anything, her slightly moving thin lips touched the teacup handed to her by Luo Xi.
Feeling the moist breath from the rim of the cup emitting a faint fragrance staining his lips, Count Spee's psychological defenses almost completely collapsed in an instant.
Her chest rose and fell slightly and violently, as if she was a little nervous. In Luo Xi's sight, Count Spee blushed shyly, carefully sipped a sip of the fragrant black tea, and then turned his face away gently, not knowing what to say next.
Seeing the girl drinking the tea, Luo Xi also smiled with satisfaction. It would take time to resolve the girl's heart knot, but he had plenty of time and patience.
Just like that, he held up the teacup patiently, waiting for Count Spee to finish the tea in the cup bit by bit...
Looking at Count Spee who seemed to be reluctant to leave, Luo Xi couldn't resist the expectant look in the girl's eyes, and couldn't help but feed him a few biscuits - the black tea and snacks were all placed in the house by Belfast before he left.
As a fine pastry specially left by the female minister, its taste and texture are absolutely impeccable, and it is more than enough to conquer Count Spee who has never eaten any pastries.
Count Spee was sitting by the bed, his ferocious iron claws were not taken off, but were obediently placed on the sides of the girl's knees. Luo Xi was also sitting by the bed, carefully leaning forward, and putting the biscuits to Count Spee's mouth, while carefully avoiding touching Count Spee's ferocious iron claws.
Count Spee felt a little embarrassed at this time, but she was not good at saying words of thanks. She just raised her eyes to look at Luo Xi from time to time, and then continued to lower her eyes to stare at her iron claws, as if she was ashamed to talk to Luo Xi.
And in Luo Xi's opinion, this iron-blooded girl beside him is truly the embodiment of softness and cuteness!
Count Spee's delicate cheeks with a bit of baby fat were slightly puffed up like a hamster guarding its food. Although her mouth was not seen to be open, just by looking at her cute appearance, one could tell that she was actually chewing with small sips of contentment.
"Iron Blood shouldn't have much afternoon tea time, right?" Luo Xi thought about it and changed the topic to a lighter one.
The slightly greedy Count Spee finally realized at this moment that his behavior had somewhat damaged the image of the Iron Blood...
After listening to Luo Xi's questions, she hesitated for a moment, thinking that answering these questions should not be considered as betraying the secrets of Iron Blood, so she replied softly, "Yes... In the Iron Blood naval port, although there is never a shortage of supplies, and Sister Deutschland also takes good care of me... but there are still very few delicious desserts."
"If Spey likes it, you can eat more~ But... Spey's iron claws shouldn't be very convenient, right?"
Luo Xi looked curiously at the iron claws between himself and Count Spee - after getting used to a cute girl wearing iron claws all the time, Luo Xi gradually began to accept this interesting contrast.
"Shipgirls... don't need these luxuries..." When Count Spee said this, he felt his cheeks getting hot.
You know, she just accepted Luo Xi's feeding several times without any scruples...
But Luo Xi had no intention of mocking Count Spee. Instead, he looked at this reserved but interesting iron-blooded girl with interest, "Would Spee be willing to take back his iron claws? Not only would it be more convenient, but it would also make him look very cute."
After waiting for a long time, Luo Xi only heard Count Spee muttering something as soft as a mosquito's whistle...
Just when he thought that they would have to wait until their relationship was further developed before Spee would agree to this somewhat abrupt request, he saw that the other party's ship-mounted iron claws were emitting a moving azure fluorescent light.
Luo Xi widened his eyes, holding his breath and looking at the fair and soft figure emerging from the gradually fading ship outfit...
However, before he could see the delicate wrist clearly, Prince Eugen's voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, interrupting Count Spee's determined action - "Spee, what are you doing?"
"…It's Miss Eugen!"
Count Spee was startled and immediately changed from a slightly relaxed sitting position to a tense standing position. Even the ship equipment that was about to be completely retracted was no longer in the state of almost dissipating. In the blink of an eye, it returned to the smooth and ferocious claws before.
Luo Xi felt like he was hit by a hammer. He could have caught a glimpse of Count Spee's delicate face in the next moment, but he was interrupted by Prince Eugen at the most critical moment.
Prince Eugen was also shocked - except for the necessary washing, she had hardly seen Spee, who was in combat mode, retract his iron claws. In order not to retract his iron claws, Spee's daily diet was completely replaced by her own ship's energy.
But just now, Luo Xi actually persuaded Spee with just a few words and made the girl take back her ship-mounted iron claws? !
Realizing that there was a high possibility that the two of them would be divided and defeated one by one, Prince Eugen began to feel alarmed.
Sensing something was wrong, she walked lightly to Luo Xi's side and tried to change the subject in a calm tone: "Thank you very much, Commander Luo Xi, for arranging us. The hospitality is very thoughtful——"
