She wanted to say something, but unexpectedly found that Belfast seemed to have a lot to say.
For the sake of the overall stability of the Royal Navy, it's better for me to stay in the Royal Port area...
Of course, this is just a superficial explanation...
Whether the head maid of the royal family truly thought the same way, only she herself probably knows.
Warspite sighed softly and nodded with a hint of helplessness: "Indeed... if I go out too, there will be no one in the port area to handle the daily affairs... it's better to stay."
As a long-time colleague and friend, Belfast was fully aware of Xu Huancun's thoughts and war-weariness.
After all, the embarrassing things the two of them did during their breaks at work every day couldn't escape her ears...
She had always been supportive before, but now... things have changed somewhat.
It's a situation where I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but also afraid he'll drive a Range Rover...
Actually... it would be fine to go by myself. Although I'm not as good at taking care of people as she is... it's not like I can't learn...
"I'll go and speak with His Majesty in a bit... Commander and Belfast, you can set off once there's nothing urgent to attend to in the port..."
"Okay... If you need me then, just let me know. Elizabeth's personality... can be a bit difficult to handle."
Xu Huan nodded.
This time, besides verifying whether he was attractive to the Sirens, his main goal was to find a way to unite the two ports and wipe out the Sirens in this sea area.
Although the safe port area was comparable to a paradise of pleasure, Xu Huan still remembered the threat of the Sirens.

In the bedroom.
"what!!!"
Sitting on the bed, Elizabeth, who was hugging a doll, stared wide-eyed at Warspite in front of her with a somewhat helpless expression and said, "What did you say? Xu Huan is actually going to Ironblood?!"
As the Queen, she was extremely isolated from the world.
Last night, she was still thinking about how tight the royal family's secrecy was, and so on, before she fell asleep. Who would have thought that just one night later, the most sought-after person in her own camp would be going to Ironblood?!
"Yes..."
Warspite, who had long anticipated that things wouldn't go smoothly, sighed silently.
Why do I have to watch Belfast and the Commander go to Sangvis Ferri without being able to stop them in the slightest, and then come here to speak up for them...?
Although the analogy might not be entirely accurate, it felt like being NTR'd and then having to help by pushing someone's butt, just to feel a sense of participation...
Tragic...war-weary...tragic.
"No!!! I will absolutely not allow this to happen!!" Elizabeth shook her head, pressed down on Warspite's shoulder, and said, "Xu Huan must stay in the Royal Family, how can he go to the Ironbloods?!"
"Your Majesty...this is the commander's own decision, and we cannot influence his personal will."
“Then…then…” Elizabeth’s eyes darted around slightly as she said, “Have Warspite, Plymouth…uh, and the Enmity Vanguard tie Xu Huan up and prevent him from leaving! If that doesn’t work, we can negotiate with him…we can also negotiate with the Ironbloods!”
Elizabeth understood that Xu Huan was no ordinary human, so she specifically added the entire legendary-level combat power of the Royal Navy.
"In short... as long as Xu Huan can stay in the royal family, I will give him as much as he wants!"
"Should we use force, Your Majesty..." Warspite's eye twitched. "Even setting aside the Commander's own combat prowess and intentions, there are already three Ironblood naval legends within the Royal Port area..."
"If a fight really breaks out, the outcome is uncertain, and we can't guarantee that the commander won't be hurt at all... As for discussing it with the Ironbloods... cough cough."
The war-weary man didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear.
Commander... how could you possibly buy that with money?
"Then...what do we do?!"
Elizabeth stomped her foot hard on the bed: "Xu Huan absolutely cannot leave the royal family! How can I so easily hand over the person I finally found?!"
Chapter 155 A War-Weary Escape
“Actually…” Warspite looked at Elizabeth’s flustered and helpless appearance and suddenly felt much more at ease.
Okay, okay, as long as I'm not the only one who got hurt, that's fine.
"Actually, the commander is just going to Sangvis Ferri for a bit, it's not like he's never coming back..." Warspite tried to comfort him.
“Those Ironbloods are wolves who won’t let go once they’ve bitten their flesh!! I know their nature perfectly well!” Elizabeth shook her head and said.
"You've spent quite a bit of time with them, how can you still harbor such fantasies about them? I feel that if Xu Huan stays there for even a few days, he'll be completely devoured by them!!"
Yes, even Elizabeth understood this, so it's impossible for Warspite and Belfast not to.
But compared to Tie Xue, the two of them trusted Xu Huan more...
"Your Majesty...actually, this matter mainly depends on the Commander's own thoughts. As long as he doesn't have any related plans, no matter what, the Iron Blood won't be able to keep the Commander..."
Warspite explained, "After all, in terms of living conditions and quality of life, the Royal Family is far superior to the Ironbloods. If even the Royal Family can't retain its people, then the Ironbloods are probably not much different."
"Your Majesty... I hope you can be more confident in the conditions of our royal family."
“That’s true…” Elizabeth seemed to be persuaded by Warspite, and nodded thoughtfully: “If they can’t even keep people in my port, what can Ironblood do to keep them?”
Elizabeth's confidence stemmed from the immense wealth of the royal family.
Among all the faction ports, the Royal Navy is one of the most affluent and comfortable in terms of quality of life. Apart from the Eagle Union, the other factions are far behind in this regard.
Putting everything else aside, the level of infrastructure and construction alone is on a completely different level. The royal environment, which resembles an outdoor manor, and the rows of buildings are enough to easily bring a good mood.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Warspite had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over, but he did not expect that his emperor still had no intention of giving up.
"However, even so, I do not intend to let Xu Huan go to the Ironblood side!!" The girl put her hands on her hips and snorted.
"No matter what it takes, we must keep Xu Huan in the royal family!!!"
"Uh...this is really putting me in a difficult position, Your Majesty..." Warspite sighed.
She had tried, but Belfast, who should have been on her side, turned against her at the last minute, and all her attempts to persuade her had no effect whatsoever.
"Embarrassed?"
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth suddenly flashed her pearly white teeth, her little tiger teeth looking especially adorable beneath her pink lips.
"Who said we were going to make things difficult for you, Warwear..."
The girl shook her head confidently, patted her almost nonexistent chest, and said:
"This time, I, the King, will personally take charge!!!"
"what?"
Warspite was stunned. The moment Elizabeth announced that she would take action, she even wondered if she was hallucinating because she hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
"What's with that expression?! Do you not trust me at all?"
"Uh..."
Coming to his senses, Warspite quickly shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust Your Majesty... I'm just curious how Your Majesty plans to tell the Commander about this matter?"
Based on Warspite's understanding of Elizabeth, the success rate of entrusting this task to her would be virtually zero.
It's hard to imagine that Elizabeth, given her personality, would actively ask for help.
"You don't need to worry about that..." Elizabeth revealed a mysterious smile that said she had everything under control. "There's still some time. The matter is rather urgent. Just have Xu Huan come over in a bit and let her see what I'm capable of."
"...Yes, Your Majesty, I'll be right there."
Although the reason for Elizabeth's confidence was unclear, at least things wouldn't get to him.
-------------------------------------
"So... Elizabeth called me here just for this?"
Thirty minutes later, Xu Huan stood in front of the door, listening to Warspite recount what had just happened, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It sounds like she's acting like a little kid...
"Yes... His Majesty absolutely refuses to let you go to Ironblood, and he even wants to try it out himself," Warspite replied with a hint of helplessness.
"Actually, there's no need for that. I went to Ironblood for some serious business, and I won't be leaving for nothing..."
After spending this time together, it would be impossible to say that Xu Huan had no feelings for the royal family at all.
Going away and never coming back is such a scumbag.
Furthermore, Xu Huan's future plans also include coordinating the ship girls of various factions, complementing each other based on the combat strengths of each faction's ship girls, and thus enhancing their combat power.
"On this point... I believe in the Commander, and I hope the Commander can also convince Her Majesty in a little while..."
As he spoke of war weariness, he seemed to want to say more but then stopped himself.
"what happened?"
"Actually, Her Majesty is just a child at heart... If the Commander really intends to leave... please try to persuade her with some nice words..."
As he spoke, Warspite scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, his tone becoming listless and dejected.
"What... You just said you trusted me and came here, and now you're 'actually planning to leave'?"
"This is just in case..."
