Belfast's smile froze, stopping the instant Jun Hao finished speaking.
As the master, Jun Hao's request for his maid, Belfast, to prepare a room for him to rest... of course, there was inherently nothing wrong with that.
But when the right thing appears in an ill-timed atmosphere, it is completely wrong!
Especially when said in an atmosphere that was just filled with ambiguity and testing, it seemed particularly oblivious to the mood.
She had clearly just plucked up her courage to offer her initiative as a 'girl' rather than a 'maid'!
She was even ready to welcome all sorts of responses from her master!
Whether they were violent or gentle, it didn't matter!
However, he had effortlessly shattered the ambiguous atmosphere she had worked so hard to build.
Belfast slowly straightened her body, separating herself from Jun Hao's palm.
She stood tall again, regaining that impeccable posture of a perfect maid.
Only in those purple eyes, a sense of confusion spread.
Wait, could it be that Master is rejecting me?
Or did my behavior just now trouble him?
All sorts of chaotic thoughts flashed through her heart.
However, when she saw Jun Hao's expression, those thoughts vanished instantly.
Jun Hao was still buried in the documents, his expression focused, as if the person who had just said those mood-killing words wasn't him.
But the slight upward curve of his lips clearly betrayed his current mood.
Belfast understood; Master was playing dumb on purpose.
Master was using this method to counterattack her.
Having realized this, Belfast didn't get angry; instead, a strong fighting spirit rose within her.
This had nothing to do with being a 'maid' and everything to do with being an 'Oath Ship Girl'.
Fine then, since Master likes such 'games'.
As your exclusive maid, Belfast will certainly see it through to the end.
What's more... arranging a place to stay is clearly an excellent opportunity Master handed over personally!
An opportunity that allows Belfast to... stay by Master's side more openly and at all times!
At this moment, Belfast's mood suddenly brightened.
"Yes, I understand, Master."
Her voice became increasingly clear and pleasant to the ear.
"Then, if Master doesn't mind..."
"The gates to our Royal Dormitory are open to you at any time."
This sentence successfully made Jun Hao's movement of flipping through the documents pause.
He looked up.
"The Royal Dormitory? Won't it be a bit late by the time I'm finished with work?"
Belfast nodded, her smile elegant.
"As long as it is for Master, even if we maids provide 25-hour service around the clock, they would never have a single word of complaint!"
"Moreover, even for your previous self, Her Majesty the Queen had long ago instructed that as long as you are willing to come, the best room in the Royal Dormitory must be prepared for you immediately."
"And that goes doubly for you now."
Hearing this, Jun Hao's eyes lit up.
The Royal Faction!
That was the faction known throughout the entire port for its wealth and luxury!
To be able to live in their dormitory area, the experience would surely be top-tier.
More importantly!
That was the base of the Royal Maid Corps!
Just thinking about waking up every morning to the gentle calls of the Maid Corps members.
During meals, enjoying the dishes they meticulously prepared, comparable to a state banquet.
When tired from work, having top-grade black tea and snacks delivered at any time.
Returning to the room at night, it would surely be the life of an emperor with beauties in both arms!
Thinking of these beautiful images, Jun Hao couldn't even help himself and let out a "hehe" chuckle.
How clever was Belfast?
Looking at Jun Hao's expression of being lost in thought, she understood almost instantly what was going on in his head.
It was nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to have close contact with the other Sisters of the Royal Faction.
As the Head Maid of the Royal Maid Corps, her rationality told her this was a good thing.
Master improving his relationship with every sister of the Royal Faction was the cornerstone of the harmonious development of the Royal Faction, and indeed the entire port.
This was also something Her Majesty the Queen and the other Sisters would be happy to see.
But her true heart was frantically reminding her.
No!
Absolutely not!
Why?
Why should the Master, who had finally returned to her side with great difficulty, be handed over to others?
At least... at least not until she was completely satisfied!
In her heart, Belfast silently said "I'm sorry" ten thousand times to all the Royal Sisters, and especially to Her Majesty the Queen.
Then, she resolutely chose to follow her true heart.
"It seems Master is very satisfied with this suggestion."
Belfast's tone didn't sound unusual at all.
"Indeed, actually, the Royal Sisters are all looking forward to having the opportunity to serve you personally."
Jun Hao snapped back from his fantasy and cleared his throat to hide his previous lack of composure.
"Ahem... is that so? Well then!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
"The Royal Faction will always be your home; you may do whatever you wish."
Belfast bowed slightly.
"To receive your anticipation is the honor of all Royal members."
"Then, please allow me to notify the other Sisters of the Maid Corps so they can begin preparations immediately."
"I swear in the name of the Head Maid of the Royal Maid Corps that we will prepare the finest suite and the grandest welcoming ceremony for you."
Upon hearing this, Jun Hao smiled wryly.
"A welcoming ceremony won't be necessary. For now, it's not suitable to be too flashy. Being too conspicuous would bring unnecessary trouble to you and Elizabeth."
"Understood, my Master. Then we shall act according to your wishes."
Belfast looked up, a mysterious light secretly flickering in her purple eyes.
"As for trouble, Master, you can rest assured."
"Tonight, no one and nothing will disturb your rest, Master~"
Belfast's voice seemed to be emphasizing something, but unfortunately, this time, Jun Hao didn't catch the 'deeper meaning' within, taking it as her simple happiness and solid professional quality.
Therefore, Jun Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"Good, then I'll leave it to you, Belfa."
"It is my duty, Master."
Meanwhile, Akagi and Taihou had also arrived before the giant Torii gate that symbolized the boundary of the Sakura Dormitory.
They didn't say a single word until they had completely entered the Sakura Dormitory.
Mainly because they had been arguing for so long that their throats were truly hoarse.
However, Akagi and Taihou's little brains and physical functions didn't'stall' because of this.
Not only that, they were more energetic than usual, and their minds were working faster than normal.
For example, right now, the same thought occurred to both of them simultaneously.
