"Eh?"

"Who told you to use her name?"

"Uh..." Xiaobai hesitated, then smiled awkwardly after a short while, "Miss Savoy, do you want to fight her?"

“Hehe…” Savoy smiled without saying a word.

"Fighting isn't a good thing..." Xiaobai whispered a reminder, "However, if Miss Savoy is willing to have a proper talk with her, I'm not unwilling to take you to see her..."

"You're going to take me to see her?" Savoy asked, slightly surprised.

"Yes."

"Is she really with you?"

“…I guess so?” Xiaobai thought for a moment and said to Savoy, “Then let’s make a deal. After the events of Chapter Eight are over, I’ll take you to see Pachina.”

“You’re making it sound like I’m about to die,” Savoy said.

"It's okay, you won't die now that you said that." Xiaobai smiled brightly.

“Ha…” Savoy turned his head. “I hope so.”

“Miss Savoy will definitely like it there…” Little White murmured.

Silence fell between Xiaobai and Savoy again.

After a while.

"Why is your breathing all messed up again?" Savoy breathed slightly rapidly, his chest heaving, looking annoyed. "I don't want to inhale what you exhale."

"……"noob.

Although the night was a bit fantastical, the next day still passed peacefully and comfortably.

Early the next morning.

Xiaobai stretched and walked out of the tent. She first glanced at the crystal ball placed in the hall.

Today, Frederick the Great did not contact me first thing in the morning as he did yesterday.

Xiao Bai thought for a while, and then remembered what Frederick the Great had told her yesterday: she seemed to be thinking about an idea or something, and that idea probably took some time to come.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai didn't pay much attention.

If Frederick the Great still wants to learn runic script, he will contact him again today.

Xiao Bai thought to himself.

Time passed hour by hour, and the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy woke up one after another, continuing their usual noisy activities. Little White, having nothing to do in the hall, also joined in the fun with the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

at last.

As dusk approached, the crystal ball in the hall finally reacted.

Xiao Bai put down the playing cards and touched the crystal ball amidst the urging of the Deans of the Deep Sea Academy.

"Admiral, did Frederick call you over again?" Hindenburg asked Whitey while holding a deck of cards.

"Admiral?" Kazuya looked at Shiro with concern.

"If Frederick is looking for you, you'd better hurry back," Kamikaze said, scratching his cheek.

"..." The Deep Sea Zuikaku didn't speak, but it silently watched the little white bird.

Under the watchful eyes of the Dean of the Deep Sea Academy, Xiaobai, who had received the information from the crystal ball, stood frozen in place, then turned around with a strange expression and looked at everyone.

“No…Frederick didn’t speak to me alone,” Xiaobai replied. “She spoke to all of us. She said we need to go to the Black Tower conference room immediately for a meeting.”

"what?"

"what?"

"Another meeting??"

"..."

……

Scene change.

Xiao Bai and the cursing Deep Sea Deans arrived at the entrance of the Black Tower.

"That Frederick, didn't she say last time that she would try to reduce the number of meetings? How come she's holding meetings again after only one day... She's really something!" Savoy snorted, her tone full of displeasure.

"Hehehe, so what if you finally got a good hand, only to have it interrupted by a meeting?" Kamikaze covered his mouth and mocked. "It's not like we're giving up. We can continue when we get back."

"What do you know!"

"I understand!"

"..."

Xiao Bai listened to the arguing behind him, smiled helplessly, and quickly returned to normal.

Xiao Bai and the Deans of the Deep Sea Institute walked up the Black Tower and arrived at the conference room door.

The conference room doors were open.

Everyone glanced inside.

Frederick the Great was sitting in one of the rows, holding two slabs of clay in his hands, studying them intently.

Everyone enters the house.

"Frederick, are you looking for us?" Little White asked Frederick the Great.

When Frederick the Great heard Little White's call, she put down the mud slab she was holding, stood up, and turned to look at Little White.

"Ah."

Frederick the Great spoke.

"You're having another meeting?" Savoy asked Frederick with a dark expression.

Savoy practically wore his dislike for you on his face.

“I’m sorry.” Frederick the Great looked at Savoy through his bandaged eyes and spoke slowly, “This is a special case, and I promise this meeting will be the last one.”

"Special circumstances?" Deep Sea Zuikaku frowned upon hearing Frederick the Great's words.

"Yes." Frederick the Great looked at the sea crane. "I have something to announce."

"Oh—" Kamikaze nodded.

Frederick the Great walked to the middle of the meeting room and gestured for everyone to sit down wherever they pleased.

The Deans of the Deep Sea Academy looked at each other and then pulled Xiaobai to sit down together.

"..." Frederick the Great.

"Frederick, what do you want to announce?" the Deep Sea Deans asked. "We hope this won't disappoint us."

"..." Frederick the Great remained silent, turning her gaze to Little White.

Xiao Bai also made eye contact with Frederick the Great.

"I told you yesterday that I had an idea," Frederick the Great said to Little White.

"Hmm." Little White nodded, waiting for Frederick the Great's next words.

"I've made up my mind."

Frederick the Great looked away and gazed at the others.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The voice remained calm beneath the bandages.

Then Frederick the Great set his sights on Little White.

All eyes were drawn to Xiaobai.

"I decide."

“I regard Pachina as my partner.”

Chapter 2147 Beauty is a Curse

Frederick the Great finished speaking.

The atmosphere inside the meeting room was eerily quiet.

The deans of the deep sea stared wide-eyed at Frederick the Great.

"Frederick... what did you just say?"

"I will take Pachina as my companion," Frederick the Great said calmly again.

"Partner... what does 'partner' mean..."

“It means what you understand,” Frederick the Great said. “It means lover.”

“Love, my love—” Dean Zhong’s heart skipped a beat.

"Frederick, are you kidding me! I don't agree!!" Kamikaze jumped to his feet, shouting at Frederick with an incredulous expression, "You've only met your sister a few times, barely exchanged a few words, how come you suddenly have these thoughts about her this morning! You, you must have ulterior motives..."

“Kamikaze,” Frederick the Great interrupted her protest. “Do you remember what you said to me outside when Patchina first arrived here?”

"How...how would I know what I said..."

“You said that even if a city’s leader is completely heartless, it’s not a good thing for the city,” Frederick the Great said to Kamikaze. “Although I didn’t say anything at the time, I thought you were absolutely right. It’s understandable for a city’s leader to maintain a certain social distance from the residents, but being too aloof is not a good thing.”

"So, this is the method you chose to close the gap with us?" Kamikaze gritted his teeth.

You seem very dissatisfied.

"Of course I'm not satisfied!" Kamikaze protested loudly.

"..." Frederick the Great silently observed the unwilling look on Kamikaze's face. After thinking for a while, she slowly spoke, "If the source of your dissatisfaction is that you suspect I used Patina to get closer to you, you can rest assured that I am not heartless. I am also a creature with feelings. Therefore, the decision I just made was based on my own thoughts."

"What...what are you thinking?!"

“I do indeed have feelings of admiration for Patina, but this is different from what I felt when I was with you all.” Frederick the Great placed one hand on his chest and said calmly, “In the past, as the city’s administrator, being detached from worldly desires was my guiding principle, so I would have suppressed these feelings. But this time, thanks to your reminder, I have chosen to confront these feelings. Is this a sign that I am gradually becoming more human?”

"you……"

“Speaking of which, I must thank you,” Frederick the Great said to Kamikaze.

"I..." Kamikaze was speechless for a moment. She sat down, holding her head in distress. Regret and remorse filled her beautiful features, and her expression gradually turned painful. "I... I was just saying it casually, I was just joking. How could you believe me..."

After muttering a few words to himself, Kamikaze finally realized that in this bizarre confession scene, he probably wouldn't be able to convince Frederick the Great on his own.

Kamikaze hurriedly tugged at Savoy's arm as if pleading for a savior.

"Savoy, please say something!"

Savoy, swaying in the divine wind, frowned and stared at Frederick with a gloomy expression, seemingly not in a good mood.

"Savoi, did you find the contents of this meeting interesting?" Frederick the Great asked Savoy.

"..." After hearing Frederick the Great's words, Savoy's delicate eyebrows twitched involuntarily, and his expression became even more unfriendly. However, looking at Frederick the Great's calm and tall figure, Savoy simply turned his head slightly, as if out of sight, out of mind, and looked elsewhere.

"Frederick, Frederick!" Just as the atmosphere reached its lowest point, Hindenburg raised his hand.

Everyone looked toward the deep-sea Hindenburg.

Hindenburg stared wide-eyed at Frederick the Great and asked, "What does 'lover' mean?"

“It is an intimate relationship,” Frederick the Great said.

"So, the Admiral and I are lovers too?" Hindenburg tilted his head. "The Admiral and I are very close!"

"Different."

"Where?! I can hug the Admiral whenever I want! I can kiss the Admiral whenever I want! We even spent time together naked!" Deep Sea Hindenburg muttered.

"……no the same."

"So that's where the difference lies!"

“If it’s a romantic relationship, it won’t just be you hugging Miss Patina; she will often hug you on her own initiative,” Frederick the Great said slowly. “You will be together all the time, from day to night, almost never apart.”

“Oh…that doesn’t seem to be the case…” Hindenburg nodded thoughtfully after hearing Frederick the Great’s words, but still asked, “…After you and the Admiral become lovers, Frederick, will you stay with the Admiral all the time?”

"Yes."

"Will you be staying at the Admiral's house? With us?" Hindenburg asked.
