1300 hours, Hawaii, Azur Lane HQ
A meeting was underway between the esteemed flagships of Azur Lane and the Crimson Axis. Only two nations had abstained from this diplomatic summit, the Northern Parliament and the Dragon Empery.
After the sinking of the Orochi, Siren activity had declined sharply—there was no better time to pick up the pieces and rebuild the shattered alliance.
The meeting was opened by Queen Elizabeth, monarch of the Royal Navy. The petite noble raised her chalice and offered a hearty toast from her seat at the table.
"Let's begin, shall we? We are gathered here today to mend what was torn apart in the past—our alliance. For too long have we been divided amongst ourselves, firing upon one another whilst the Sirens watched in amusement. No more, I say! From today onwards, we stand united against the invaders once more. This is OUR world; they will never have it! Cheers!"
Applause erupted from the gathered Kansen. The Queen smiled proudly before taking a measured sip from her gilded chalice, seating herself after.
Meanwhile, amongst the rest, a certain Prinz was busy harassing another.
"Haah, I can't wait for this to be over... just imagining what we could do once we're alone excites me~"
Wales struggled to keep her blush hidden from the rest of her comrades as Eugen resumed her suggestive whispering in her ear.
"Eugen please, we're in a meeting, we can discuss this later... mein Schatz."
"Oh my, I haven't heard that from you in a very long time. My prince~"
The bold cruiser rested her hand on Wales' thigh, gradually inching dangerously closer to the hem of her skirt as she leaned in to the flushed royal.
"AHEM, are you two quite done flirting in front of everyone? If so, may we proceed with our agenda?"
The redness on the Queen's face was apparent even as she tried to mask it with irritation. Eugen merely winked at her abashed lover before retracting her scandalous hand. Wales shot her a flustered glare, a pink hue still dusting her cheeks.
"I thought you had more self control than this, Eugen. Perhaps I should have brought your sister to this meeting instead."
Bismarck stated, the tiniest hint of amusement present in the dreadnought's imposing voice as she stared down the snide heavy cruiser.
"As if you're any better, Lord Bismarck. Shouldn't you be paying more attention to the rest instead of dedicating all of it to Lady Hood, mein Flaggschiff?"
Eugen brazenly questioned her superior, her signature smug grin plastered on her face. Bismarck's eyes widened at the mention of her not-so-secretive glances at the proud noble, her cheeks turning red as a rose.
"T-that's not-!"
"Oh Biscuit, it wasn't difficult for me to notice your gaze. Worry not, we'll have plenty of time to speak after this."
The elegant battlecruiser chimed in from across the table, a warm smile gracing her lips. Bismarck lowered her cap in a feeble attempt at hiding her embarrassment from her allies.
"Ma che spettacolo incantevole! I don't see the problem in us expressing our feelings to one another, what better way to leave the past behind us than forging bonds stronger than those we had previously? That's how we do it back home in glorious Sardegna! Non è vero, sorella?"
The Glory of Naples, Littorio declared proudly, a crimson rose in hand as she turned towards the Eternal Flagship of Sardegna.
"Hah... you're not entirely wrong, I suppose, but we have to focus on our main objective before we get too far off topic."
