After being beaten up by Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice, the opposite space pirate fleet decisively raised the white flag.
Seeing this, the crew and other passengers on the passenger ship cheered.
"Tsk, in the end, they're just a motley crew!"
Louise raised her small head and snorted with disdain.
"They just surrendered after being attacked. If they were nobles, they would definitely fight to the death!"
"You really value the honor of the nobles."
"Of course! Do you know, for nobles, honor is more important than life! "
Eight-cloud Ink did not comment.
"Strange, since they raised the white flag and surrendered, why aren't they leaving? We don't intend to rob them. After all, this is a passenger ship. "
Varudo looked at the space pirate fleet that was still in the air, puzzled.
"Maybe the attack just now made them lose their momentum. It's lucky that they're still floating in the air."
Eight-cloud Ink explained.
"Honorable sirs."
The captain trotted to the deck and bowed to Louise and the others. He rubbed his hands and said humbly, "How should we deal with the current situation?"
He was also a clever person. When he saw Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice easily deal with the space pirates, he immediately ran up to them to express his goodwill.
Louise glared at the captain in disgust. In her opinion, such a person was too annoying.
"Don't worry about it. Continue to move forward and reach the port of Albion as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
The captain bowed again and thanked him before running back to the control room.
However, when the passenger ship passed by the space pirate fleet, Varudo suddenly exclaimed.
"Strange, are these really space pirates?"
"What's wrong?"
Eight-cloud Ink turned to look.
"The spaceships of this fleet are clearly the military warships of Albion. How can ordinary space pirates have such warships?"
"You mean … this might be the military of Albion? Aristocrats or King Faction? "
"I'm not sure …"
Varudo shook his head.
Eight-cloud Ink said, "Louise, you have Anrietta's token to gain the trust of King Faction, right?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then." Eight-cloud Ink narrowed its eyes and smiled. "We'll go straight to the other party's ship. You state your intentions and show us your token. If the other party is from the King Party, then everything is fine. But if it's from the Aristocratic Party … "
"Then let's just destroy them. After all, didn't we come here to help the crown prince regain control of the kingdom?"
Eight-cloud Ink carried Louise while Patrice carried Sheesta. The four of them flew towards the enemy ship.
Seeing this, Waludo called out to Griffin and followed.
Their target was naturally the largest spaceship in the middle of the enemy's fleet, which seemed to be the flagship.
○
"What are you doing?!"
In the face of Eight-cloud Ink and the others who suddenly flew to their flagship, the space pirates were very nervous and took out their weapons to surround them.
"I request to see your highest ranking officer."
After being put down by Eight-cloud Ink, the red-faced Louise tried her best to calm her fluctuating emotions as she spoke coldly.
The space pirates looked at each other and didn't respond.
A tall middle-aged man with black curly hair and a beard of the same color walked over and looked at everyone with a serious expression.
"Do you want to turn the tables on us?"
"We won't do such a shameless thing."
Louise snorted.
"We're ambassadors sent by Toristine, and we request to see your highest ranking officer!"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a while, then said with a dark face, "You... are you mistaken, we're just a group of space pirates."
"Space pirates?"
Eight-cloud Ink patted the railing behind him.
"Space pirates have Albion's standard warships? And uncle, although you're dressed very well and your fake appearance can make you look like an ordinary person, I can smell the scent of an iron-blooded soldier from afar. "
Louise also raised her right hand high, and the ring on her ring finger shone.
"There's a token of the Toristine royal family here! I request to see your highest ranking officer! And I request to be treated as an ambassador! "
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and finally waved his hand to let the people around him put away their weapons.
"Come with me."
Through a narrow passage and up a narrow staircase, the five of them were taken to a very imposing room.
It was located above the back deck, like the captain's room.
The door opened with a click, and there was a luxurious banquet table in the room, and a gorgeous and handsome man was sitting at the top.
He was fiddling with a magic wand inlaid with a huge crystal. In any case, it seemed that this handsome man should be a noble.
Around him, some people who seemed to be his subordinates were staring at the five people who came in.
"There's actually a child? Then, tell me your name. "
The handsome young man with blond hair said.
"You're the highest ranking officer?" Louise stared at the young man with blond hair, trying to determine his identity.
The young man didn't seem to mind as he smiled at Louise, who was standing at the front.
"Are you going to see the King Faction?"
"Yes! We're Toristine's ambassadors! "
"What are you going to do? Those guys will all be gone by tomorrow. "
"That's not what I want to tell you!"
The handsome young man clapped his hands and looked at Louise with a cheerful voice and a smile.
"How about belonging to the aristocratic party? We really want a powerful mage to join, and we'll give a big gift! "
"Over my dead body!!"
Louise immediately took out her magic wand, and at the same time, the "space pirates" around them also drew their weapons.
"Again, do you want to belong to the aristocratic party?"
"Absolutely impossible!! You bunch of rebels! "Louise was still looking up, with her hands on her hips and her chest out.
— Although there was nothing to be proud of.
At the same time, Eight-cloud Ink raised his right hand, and a strange blue flame appeared in the palm of his hand.
With an inexplicable smile, Eight-cloud Ink looked at the blond young man in front of him.
He glanced at the ring on his hand, which was almost identical to the ring that Louise had received from Anrietta. Eight-cloud Ink deliberately controlled and lowered the temperature of the flame.
The young man suddenly laughed.
"The aristocrats of Toristine are indeed a few hundred times more righteous than us who have no sense of national shame!"
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
The young man smiled and said, "I was rude just now. Now, let's begin.
The black-haired middle-aged man who led Eight-cloud Ink here took off his wig and beard, revealing his brilliant blonde hair.
"I'm the air force general of Albion, the commander of the national fleet!"
Then, the "space pirates" around them also reported their names.
All of them were high-ranking military officers of Albion.
Finally, the young man walked in front of Louise and revealed the ring on his finger.
"Prince of Albion, Wales Tudor."
Louise opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at Wales.
Eight-cloud Ink dissipated the flame in his palm.
Patrice and Shasta did not speak from beginning to end.
Only Waldo lowered his head, his eyes flashing.
With a charming smile, Wales gestured for everyone to take a seat.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Albion, Miss Ambassador, what can I do for you?"
Louise still stared blankly at Wales and did not speak.
"Haha, don't show an expression of 'why pretend to be a space pirate'. In order to cut off the supplies of the rebel army, we had to resort to this. But if we use the royal flag, we will be besieged, right? "
"But you still use a warship. Even if you don't use the royal flag, it will still be suspicious."
"No choice —"
Facing Eight-cloud Ink's doubts, Wales shrugged.
"— Even if it's a supply ship, it's still a warship. Ordinary space pirate spaceships can't resist it. Speaking of which, the mage lady who attacked just now was really ruthless. Our warship probably won't be repaired for half a day. "
Patrice lowered her head. "I've already warned you guys to stand there obediently."
"In that situation, no one would do as you said, right?"
Wales shook his head.
"But I'm really rude to Miss Ambassador. But when you say you're from the royal faction, I don't dare to believe it. I never dreamed that a foreign noble would stand on our side. So I tested you. I'm really sorry. "
When Wales said this, Louise was still in a daze and did not speak. Because she suddenly met the prince who was the purpose of this trip, she was not prepared.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Anrietta has a secret letter for you."
Waludo bowed his head gracefully and said.
Hearing Anrietta's name, Wales paused for a moment before his expression softened.
"Her Royal Highness? You are —? "
"Toristine Kingdom's Magic Knight Squad, Captain Griffin, Viscount Waludo."
Wales nodded and looked at Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice.
Eight-cloud Ink: "I'm here to be a bystander."
Patrice: "Bystander + 1."
Louise (Exasperated): "When are you going to stop fooling around!"
Shesta (Healing Smile): "Bystander + 2. Louise, the formation is messed up."
…
— You guys better speak properly, Cassio!!
"Cough cough …"
Wales coughed twice and tried to restore his facial features back to normal.
"Is that so, you guys are here to be a bystander — cough cough, to deliver a letter? What about the secret letter? "
Louise hurriedly took out Anrietta's letter from her chest pocket.
When she respectfully approached Wales, she stopped halfway and spoke hesitantly.
"That, that …"
"What's wrong?"
"That, excuse me, is it really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Wales smiled.
"Good vigilance, let me show you the evidence."
He took off the glowing ring on his ring finger and pulled Louise's hand closer to the Ring of Water. The two gems resonated and emitted a rainbow light.
"This ring is the Ring of Wind passed down in the Albion Royal Family. You're wearing the Ring of Water that Anrietta wears, right? "
Louise nodded.
"Water and wind form a rainbow, this is the rainbow that communicates with the Royal Family."
As he said that, Wales seemed to see Anrietta's smiling face with a look of reminiscence on her face.
"Excuse me."
Louise bowed and handed the letter to Wales.
Wales looked at the letter lovingly, kissed the signature, then opened the envelope and took out the letter.
"… Is that so?"
After putting down the letter, Wales looked at Eight-cloud Ink and Patrice.
"So, you two must be the powerful otherworldly magicians that Anrietta asked for help?"
"That's so …"
Eight-cloud Ink yawned in boredom.
"… Do you have black tea?"
"Ah, I'm sorry I didn't serve it immediately, but we're on the ship, and we didn't bring it in a hurry."
"Then forget it …" Eight-cloud Ink shook her head. "Just tell me where the rebel army is. The sooner we deal with them, the sooner we can go home."
"Forgive me for being presumptuous —"
Wales asked solemnly.
"— Are the two of you really like what Anrietta said? Can you fight against an army alone?"
"MQ..." Patrice sighed. "Why don't you give it a try and find out?"
"Alright."
Wales smiled.
"Our army is stationed in Newcastle, but there's already a rebel army camp nearby, although it's just a small probing force."
"Tonight is a moonless night, I'll tell you the location of the camp."
"Leave it to us."
Eight-cloud Ink waved her hand.
"A moonless night, huh? Just right for me to do some interesting things like murder, arson, and robbery. "
