Azur Lane: The Tragic Admiral’s Azur Life

Chapter 899 The One Who Escaped from the Ball

The venue for the dinner was naturally in the manor. Since most of the companions did not go to the construction room, they started preparing for it very early.

This was the first time a dinner was held in the royal palace, and the ship girls were very interested in it.

After all, there are many differences between the Royal Family and the White Eagle, and the traditional elements such as various customs of the Royal Family are arranged while being explained by the royal family's ship girls, especially the maids.

By the time Nelson followed Howe to the dinner venue, everything had already been set up, and several early guests had already entered the venue, and several maids from the royal side were helping with the preparations as if it was a matter of course.

Nelson was a little surprised. Not only did she see Guanghui and the Prince of Wales in the construction room, she also saw the Duke of York chatting with George V over there, and on the other side she saw Warspite chatting with Hood.

"Sister, this way~"

When Nelson was a little dumbfounded, Rodney suddenly appeared from the side and reached out to grab her hand.

"Don't be in a daze, this dinner is to welcome us to join, hehe~ The commander seems to have made some desserts in small quantities, you can get them here~"

Rodney pulled Nelson briskly and walked towards the back, and Nelson hurriedly followed.

"Wait a minute, Rodney, don't be so anxious. By the way, why do you know so much?"

"Eh? Because I came here early to check out the situation here, and I happened to meet His Highness Warspite and Lady Glory."

Rodney took Nelson to find the snacks made by Yang Sikang himself. Because there were not many of them and the ship girls in Yang Sikang's fleet all liked them very much, there were not many left.

Nelson seemed to have no interest in this. After eating a pudding, he didn't move anymore and just chatted with Rodney.

The two chatted about everything from the time the fleet was built to the present. When they mentioned the situation in the fleet, they were surprised to find that they seemed to have underestimated their commander.

Even the proud Nelson could not help but remain silent for a while after hearing what Rodney had learned.

"Sister, our commander seems to be an incredible person."

"Humph, it's not enough to just listen to what others say. I have to see it with my own eyes."

Nelson turned his head away and Rodney didn't say much. He smiled and handed over a jelly.

Several ship girls who hold very important positions within the royal family gathered here, and the attention paid to the banquet itself was further increased.

But Yang Sikang still did not disappoint. George V, Belfast and others helped him plan the layout and control the rhythm. With the help of Donghuang ship girls and maids, he also handled the meals with ease.

After the dinner, there was supposed to be a dance party, but because the people here were all ship girls from Yang Sikang’s fleet and the royal family, this session became like a free activity.

After all, if Yang Sikang stood on the stage, given the number of ship girls he had, it would be impossible for him to dance with all of them even if he jumped until the next morning.

It's shameful to escape, but it works.

So Yang Sikang ran straight out of the dance party and came to the pavilion.

"Ah, I found the commander! Laffite, the commander is over here~"

The sound of the javelin rang out from far away, and then Yang Sikang turned around and saw Lafite and the javelin jogging towards him.

"How did you two find your way here?"

Yang Sikang asked with a smile. The two destroyer girls held a thermos box in their hands. They put the things on the table, and then Javelin said happily:

"Because I felt that the Commander might be here. Hehe, the Commander must have thought that dancing was too troublesome, so he ran out, right? Actually, I'm not very good at dancing, so I dragged Laffy out with me."

"Rafi, can't dance."

Rafi nodded seriously beside him.

Although Javelin is a royal ship girl, unlike most royal ship girls, she is the type who doesn't care about etiquette at all.

Because of this, she was often coached by Curlew, Belfast and Newcastle in turn. However, learning is one thing, and whether it is useful after learning is another.

The phrase "incorrigible" can also be used to describe the javelin.

But it's not annoying.

"The commander has been busy arranging the dinner, so he must not have had time to eat. We brought a lot of things with us when we ran away."

Javelin opened the thermal box as he spoke, and it was filled with food.

The same situation happened with Lafina's dish, which included some dishes that Yang Sikang had prepared less of, and which were divided up as soon as they were served. It seemed that these two people had already been planning to escape the dancing session before the dinner started.

Although he had actually eaten something, he still ate a little bit seeing how attentive Javelin and Laffi were.

Of course it tastes good, but after all it is kept in an insulated box, so it is definitely not as good as when it is freshly made.

"By the way, didn't you two look for other people when you ran out?"

"Well?"

Javelin had just put a large piece of chicken leg into his mouth and immediately turned around when he heard Yang Sikang's question.

She swallowed the chicken thigh in a panic, patted her chest and said:

"No, it seems that Alan and the others are planning to teach Ingraham how to dance. As for the bluefin tuna and archerfish, they are probably preparing a prank with the snapper. And since we are trying to escape, a smaller target will make it harder to be discovered. And only Laffey and I don't want to dance at all. Ah, now the commander can be counted as well. So there are three people who don't want to dance!"

Javelin put another piece of chicken leg into his mouth as he spoke. Yang Sikang felt inexplicably happy, and the three of them stayed in the pavilion and chatted together.

While they were away, other people in the ballroom were chatting.

Nelson learned many aspects of the deeds of his commander and the situation of his fleet. He was shocked and also felt a little emotional.

After finally getting rid of the others, she breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to find a small room to rest for a while. She ended up coming to a place that looked like a lounge, but when she entered, she found that there were already people there.

"Sorry, uh, are you from White Eagle... South Dakota?"

South Dakota, who was staring at the ceiling and daydreaming on the small sofa here, suddenly came to his senses and stood up suddenly subconsciously.
