Located on the eastern coast, Rongcheng is experiencing its first heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter, while Naval Base 197 on the Southwest Coast is shrouded in persistent rain.
The rain has been falling all night and shows no signs of stopping. The morning mist makes distant objects appear hazy, reminiscent of the misty rain in Jiangnan.
The Prince of Wales woke up early, not because she couldn't sleep, but due to a long-standing habit that had her waking up at this time every morning.
Sitting up against the headboard, she waited until she was fully awake. Turning to look at the firefly sleeping beside her, a smile unconsciously crept onto her face, softening her previously indifferent expression.
Though they each had their own room, since her return, Kiddo had stuck close to her, hardly going out to play. Whether eating or sleeping, Kiddo would follow her closely.
Veneto once joked that they looked like a mother and child pair, but only she understood that after their past separation, the firefly was filled with deep anxiety about being apart again.
Moreover, they Fleet Girls are manifestations of Old World Battleships; the notion of mother and child doesn't apply here.
As for any external similarities, those were even less reliable. There were plenty of blonde-haired, blue-eyed Fleet Girls; did that mean they were all mother and child or sisters?
If that logic held true, just considering the current Fleet Girls at Naval Base, her daughter would also have to include Andrea Doria since she too had blonde hair and blue eyes. Additionally, Andrea had two younger sisters, Richelieu and Saratoga. Therefore, Veneto's comment was quite far-fetched.
However, when she pressed Veneto further, Veneto told her that the firefly often inadvertently displayed or mimicked expressions and actions that were strikingly similar to hers.
Initially, the Prince of Wales didn't believe it; fundamentally speaking, her personality was completely different from Kiddo's. How could there be so many similarities? But last night, when she pretended to send the firefly back to her own room to sleep, Kiddo's brow furrowed slightly and her lips pressed tightly together—a gesture that the Prince of Wales also made when angry. There were other actions too, such as resting her chin on her hand or crossing her arms; upon closer observation, Kiddo's movements were remarkably similar to hers—even the curvature of their fingers and where they rested were nearly identical, as if she were deliberately imitating her.
So when did this imitation begin? Perhaps it started back at the old Naval Base!
According to the history of the Old World, despite both being from Britain, the two battleships have hardly fought alongside each other, so their relationship is not particularly deep.
While it is not appropriate to compare Fleet Girls with the Old World's battleships, it does affect the relationships among Fleet Girls to some extent. Just like her relationship with Repulse, and Reputation with Hood.
During World War II in the Old World, she and Repulse were both bombed by Japanese planes, leading to their sinking. Therefore, during their time at the Naval Base, she and Repulse had the best relationship; after all, they shared a bond of dying on the same day in the same place.
As for Hood and Reputation, their relationship was influenced by an incident during an exercise in the Old World where Hood collided with Reputation. This led Reputation to firmly believe that Hood was extremely myopic after becoming a Fleet Girl, which is why she took special care of Hood at the Naval Base.
However, there was really nothing between her and Firefly. Yet for some reason, Firefly was the only Loli who dared to get close to her at the previous Naval Base.
Due to her serious and rigid personality, Prince of Wales was not well-liked by the Lolis. Not only did other nation's Destroyer Girls avoid her, but even members of the Royal Navy like Amethyst, Black-Backed Jackal, Spear, and Queen were hesitant to approach her. Only Firefly would run over to her whenever she had free time; perhaps this is what they call fate!
Gently touching Firefly's chubby cheek with her fingertip and gazing at the sweet sleeping face of the Loli, Prince of Wales felt a soft spot in her heart being gently stirred.
In the past, Prince of Wales never quite understood the term Loli Complex and couldn't comprehend why Admiral liked to pinch Carmicia's little face so much. Now she understands clearly; that sensation is simply wonderful.
Well! This is a version of Prince of Wales with a Loli Complex brought into the pit by Chuyang.
She got out of bed and put on a robe. Through the slightly drawn curtains, she could see that it was brighter outside than before, although it was still not yet six o'clock.
At that moment, faint footsteps echoed in the corridor outside. Prince of Wales didn't even need to open the door to know who it was.
At this hour, aside from Lexington who got up early to prepare breakfast for everyone, there wouldn't be anyone else.
Regarding Lexington, Prince of Wales neither particularly liked nor disliked her. However, she had to admit that Lexington was indeed the most suitable candidate for Secretary Ship at the Naval Base. With her versatility and grace, she possessed qualities that Prince of Wales could not emulate; neither could Richelieu or Veneto. Therefore, she did not think highly of Veneto's intention to compete for the Secretary Ship position.
Only the head maid of her household, Reputation, might be able to match up to Lexington.
As for Lexington's sister, Saratoga, well! She's a good girl, but she really doesn't like her.
This is understandable; anyone whose windows have been shattered multiple times by the other party would likely not be in a good mood.
After washing up, Prince of Wales sat in front of the vanity and picked up a wooden comb to carefully groom her long, flowing hair.
The woman in the mirror had a delicate face. Perhaps due to her long habit of styling her hair up, her slightly wavy long hair fell smoothly down one side of her cheek. It lacked the imposing presence it had during the day but instead showcased a softer beauty.
However, for Prince of Wales, such meticulous tasks as combing her hair were beyond her capabilities. No matter how hard she tried, she could never achieve the hairstyles of the past.
"It seems today will have to be just like yesterday."
With a light sigh, Prince of Wales let her hair fall loose again and no longer attempted to style it neatly, allowing her golden locks to cascade naturally behind her.
To be honest, Prince of Wales did not like wearing her hair down; it always felt cumbersome and lacked the neatness of an updo. But there was nothing she could do since she was unable to manage those styles herself!
In the past, when someone took care of her daily needs, the little maid could always create hairstyles that satisfied her. Even after Naval Base disappeared, Kayo continued to help her with her hair. But ever since returning to Naval Base, Kayo had been tightly controlled by Andrea Doria, and she felt too embarrassed to trouble her again.
So sometimes when she thought about it, Veneto's mockery of her as being inept in daily life wasn't entirely unfounded.
