A Thoughtful Head Maid

Su Luo knew that Shibai's anger was definitely not because the invitation from Taiho had "special" content, nor was it the first time something more special than her own application had been sent.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time Taiho had sent this kind of letter! Including in his Juus, Taiho had sent many similar invitations, and even some extremely scandalous private photos.

The reason Shibai was so angry was, without a doubt, something Taiho said in the letter that provoked her.

Su Luo comforted Shibai briefly, calming her down, and then casually picked up the letter that had made her so furious.

Opening the letter, Su Luo ignored the beginning content.

The content of Taiho's letters was basically the same every time. He'd read them so many times he could almost recite them. They were all invitations for him to do all sorts of questionable things! Su Luo's gaze went straight to the last paragraph.

"...You little shrimp..."

After reading the first sentence of the last paragraph, Su Luo immediately put down the letter. He already knew the reason.

Shibai had repeatedly rejected Taiho's invitations before, citing them as indecent. This time, Taiho had directly attacked her!

Seeing Su Luo calmly put down the letter, his gaze subtly appraising her, Shibai's expression soured. She emphasized to Su Luo.

"Petite is a symbol of nobility, understand?!!!"

Su Luo nodded silently. The eternally eleven-year-old Queen, of course, he understood!

After comforting her a bit more, Shibai was easily appeased. Before long, once Shibai's emotions had completely stabilized, Su Luo began his work for the day.

As mentioned before, although there were many documents, the actual work he needed to do wasn't that much. Most of the files had already been sorted by Shibai. Although Shibai appeared petite, as the Queen of the Royal Navy, her work capability was beyond doubt!

So, in reality, before noon, Su Luo's work was almost finished. Of course, this was only for the important documents Shibai had already sorted. As for the various invitations from the other ship girls, Su Luo was currently... powerless to deal with them!

He planned to go see Akashi later. Although Akashi was a notorious merchant in the port, her invention capabilities couldn't be underestimated.

As noon approached, Belfast appropriately entered the office with some tea.

"Commander, and Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work!"

"Mhm, Belfast, quickly brew me a cup of top-tier black tea!"

Seeing the Head Maid enter the office, Shibai didn't stand on ceremony and directly ordered.

Belfast nodded, pouring two cups of different teas. She first served a cup to Su Luo, and then brought the remaining cup to her Queen.

Seeing the order in which Belfast served the tea, Shibai didn't say anything. Although she occasionally called her Commander a commoner, she still respected her Commander in her heart!

"Commander, and Your Majesty, please enjoy."

After placing the tea, Belfast stood quietly by Su Luo's side.

The Head Maid's tea ceremony was excellent, and drinking tea brewed by her was a pleasure. However... looking at the tea in his hand, which contained a considerable amount of a medicinal herb called goji berry, Su Luo opened his mouth but said nothing, silently accepting the Head Maid's concern.

Su Luo finished his cup of tea. Then he stood up from his seat and stretched.

Perhaps due to recent excessive "toil," Su Luo felt a slight discomfort in his lower back and subconsciously rubbed it with his hand.

This movement caught Belfast's eye. She walked slowly towards Su Luo and began to massage his back.

"Master, is your lower back uncomfortable? Shall I call Perseus or the Eagle Union's Valkyrie for you?"

Belfast's inquiry drew Shibai's attention.

Seeing that her Commander was clearly uncomfortable, a hint of worry flashed in Shibai's eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

"Hmph, I say, if you're not feeling well, don't force yourself to work! Work can be handed over to others!"

After speaking, before Su Luo could refuse, Shibai adopted the demeanor of the Royal Queen and looked at Belfast, who was massaging Su Luo.

"Belfast, send this commoner to the infirmary later and have him thoroughly checked. Also, notify the flagships of the other factions to come to the office."

Queen Elizabeth glared at Su Luo when she saw him about to shake his head.

"As my subject, you should obey my command! Or do you not trust my abilities or those of the flagships of the other factions?"

Su Luo looked at the earnest expression on Queen Elizabeth's face, understanding that Shibai was concerned about him. He nodded silently, agreeing to Queen Elizabeth's proposal.

A moment later, accompanied by Belfast, Su Luo headed to the infirmary. Valkyrie and Perseus, who had already received the news, were waiting there, ready to give the Commander a comprehensive examination!

As soon as Su Luo arrived, Valkyrie pulled him over to a medical instrument and had him lie down.

Then, while examining Su Luo, she began to scold him.

"Commander, I told you, if you're injured or uncomfortable, you must tell me!"

Perseus, standing nearby, stared at the Commander for a while before adding her agreement.

"Commander does look a bit weak, like a sickly little chick..."

Before she could finish, as if realizing she had used an inappropriate metaphor again, Perseus fell silent and lowered her head, feeling a little dejected.

She wanted to get closer to the Commander, but she always said things like this...

Belfast stood to the side, looking at Perseus's reaction, and shook her head, sighing inwardly for her.

With such a cautious demeanor, when will she succeed?!

Valkyrie's gaze was fixed on the obviously high-tech medical instrument in front of the Commander, afraid that even a single piece of bad information would appear.

A moment later, Valkyrie reached a preliminary conclusion. Looking at the results, Valkyrie glared at the Commander, her face flushed.

"Even though I knew the married ship girls hadn't been with the Commander for a long time and would surely be excited, perhaps even overwhelmed, when he returned, still... they're a bit too much..."

Valkyrie grumbled about the married ship girls, but a hint of imperceptible envy laced her tone.

As one of the married ship girls, Belfast listened nearby, her face flushing slightly. After roughly confirming Su Luo's condition with Valkyrie, Belfast spoke to Valkyrie, who was still further examining Su Luo's physical state.

"Valkyrie, I'll be leaving Su Luo in your care. I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave now!"

Valkyrie was giving Su Luo a more detailed examination and didn't pay much attention to Belfast's voice, merely waving her hand to signal that she understood.

Belfast curtsied to Su Luo, then walked out of the infirmary.

Following Queen Elizabeth's previous orders, she now had to find the leaders of each faction within the port and invite them to the Commander's office to discuss how the port's work would be handled during this period with Queen Elizabeth.

Besides this, Belfast also needed to find the married ship girls and a few special ship girls to offer them encouragement.

As for which special ship girls these were, and what kind of encouragement methods she would use...

As the perfect and dashing Royal Head Maid, Belfast was confident about what she needed to do next!
