I don't know what you're talking about.

My name is Anna Catherine, not the Glücksburg Catherine you're talking about. You've got the wrong person. Please move aside, we need to get in..."

Catherine shook her head in denial.

"Heh, is that really true? Even if you don't acknowledge that surname, the blood flowing in your veins and your brother's is still noble."

Whether you admit it or not, you can't change this fact...

Orange an elegant and composed expression, showing no anger even when Catherine denied it.

"I told you, I'm really not the person you're talking about. Just leave. Why is Celestial Dragons, so fixated on a lowly woman like me?"

Catherine walked over to Momousagi, turned her gaze to him, and said.

"Really? Then I'll let you calm down first. I'll come find you again tonight. I hope you won't keep rejecting me like this then..."

let's go..."

Seeing that Catherine was completely uninterested in what he was saying and was still rejecting him, Orange decided to let her calm down for a while before trying to communicate with her again.

"But... Saint Orange., we've waited so long for Miss Catherine to return, are we just going to leave like this?"

Although Orange himself said he could have some time to calm down, his subordinates didn't think so.

In their minds, Orange's actions were completely unnecessary; they could have simply taken her away by force without giving the girl any face.

"I told you, we're leaving here, didn't you hear me?"

Orange, seeing that his men were not willing to follow his orders, raised his voice and spoke to them with some anger.

"Yes, I'm very sorry..."

Hearing their master say this, they, as his subordinates, naturally dared not disobey his wishes and obediently followed Orange away.

"I never expected this... So those two siblings were Celestial Dragons. No wonder Hogg was unwilling to reveal his surname back then."

However, judging from this, they seem to really dislike this identity...

As Orange turned to leave, Luo Chen, standing in the crowd, watched the entire scene unfold. He was somewhat surprised by the identities of the brother and sister and said...

"However, judging from that Celestial Dragons's tone, they don't seem to be going to let Catherine go easily. What should we do?"

If I were to fight them, I'd probably be wanted by the police too.

Although it doesn't feel like a big deal, it would be really unpleasant to be wanted by the Navy for a stranger!!

"Forget it, we'll deal with the rest later. It hasn't come to that point yet. As long as we can protect his sister in the emergency, that's all that matters."

Luo Chen scratched his head and thought for a moment before speaking.

" Catherine, are you alright...?"

Turning to Momousagi, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Orange and the others leave, and slumped against Momousagi.

This prompted him to immediately support her and ask with concern.

"Um... I'm fine, Sister Gion, let's go!"

Catherine broke free from Momousagi's embrace, steadied herself, and said to her.

"Alright then, let's go report this mission to Fleet Admiral Sengoku first, then we'll head back together..."

Momousagi glanced at her, knowing that she wasn't as unharmed as she claimed, but she didn't expose her and made her own suggestion.

"Sister Gion, I'm not feeling well, and I might not be able to report the mission to Fleet Admiral Sengoku properly. Could you please go instead?"

Catherine shook her head, indicating that she wasn't feeling well and wanted Momousagi to report on the mission herself.

"Well... alright!! Since you're not feeling well, why don't you go back and rest? Leave the rest to me!!"

Momousagi glanced at Catherine a few times, knowing that what had just happened had a great Impact on her, so she didn't press her further and told her to go back and rest first.

"Okay, thank you, Sister Gion. I'll be going now..."

Catherine nodded to her and said.

Then he walked back to his residence alone.

After Catherine left, Momousagi went alone to headquarters to report the mission's success to Sengoku.

"That concludes the account. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Momousagi reported everything to Sengoku, then prepared to take her leave to check on Catherine's condition.

"Wait, Gion, hold on a minute, I have something to tell you..."

Sengoku called out to Momousagi, who was about to leave, and told her to stop and wait for his instructions.

"I'm sure you've already encountered the Celestial Dragons Saint Orange, on your way here!!"

Sengoku touched his eyes and looked at her, saying...

"Yes, at the port, I met the Celestial Dragons Saint Orange, and according to him, my second-in-command Catherine is also Celestial Dragons like him. Is it true that Fleet Admiral Sengoku said this?"

Momousagi nodded, recalling their previous encounter, and then asked Sengoku, "..."

"It seems you understand now. Yes, things are just as he said in Saint Orange.: Catherine and her brother, Rear Admiral Hogg, known as the Navy's Supernovas, were once members of the Celestial Dragons."

"But if Catherine and her brother are Celestial Dragons, then why would they...?"

After receiving Sengoku's affirmative answer, Momousagi asked him again, still puzzled.

She couldn't understand why Catherine and Hogg, both Celestial Dragons, had fallen to such a state, and even joined the Navy, which was regarded as lackeys by those high and mighty Celestial Dragons.

"Wait, let me finish. You didn't hear what I said clearly. I said they used to be Celestial Dragons, but of course they aren't anymore."

However, today the heir of the Gustav Family Clan suddenly said that he was on his father's orders to bring back Catherine.

Although I don't know what his family is really up to, I'm certain that our navy cannot stop his actions.

I asked you to stay because I wanted to tell you this: don't interfere in the affairs of the Celestial Dragons, and I don't know if Catherine will be taken away by Orange and the others.

Sengoku carefully explained Momousagi's status to her and advised her not to interfere with them.

"But what if Catherine doesn't want to leave with them? Are we just going to sit idly by and do nothing?"

Momousagi had long regarded Catherine as her own sister, and not wanting Catherine to be forcibly taken away by Orange, she asked Sengoku again.

"That's beyond our control. Ultimately, the Navy is an organization responsible to the Celestial Dragons, and we simply cannot interfere in this matter..."

Sengoku sighed, feeling quite helpless about the matter, and explained it to her.

"After you go down, you shouldn't see Catherine, lest you feel helpless..."

Okay, you can go now...

He suggested to Momousagi, saying.

"Yes!!"

Hearing Sengoku's words of advice, she felt utterly powerless, unable to offer any help to Catherine, and walked out of the headquarters building dejectedly.
