Azur Lane: Wings of Steel

Chapter 11: The Capture Threat: A Royal Reward

Queen Elizabeth's Castle, England
Queen Elizabeth POV

We're heading to the dungeon of my castle after we got word that Ark Royal was able to capture the Gray Fox which I give her a medal for capturing a dangerous pilot in Iron Blood's rank. I have the maids to guard him until we figure out how to process of punish him for causing problems to my Navy. I'm with my sister and bodyguard named Warspite a long with the Knights of the Royal Navy. We're walking through the hallway of my great castle while the maids and my fellow shipgirls bow before me.

Warspite: "Everyone is happy."

QE: "That's because we capture a threat to our fleet so everyone's morale is up HIGH and I reward Ark Royal for her service by giving her medal."

Warspite: "I thought you're going to reward her of spending time with destroyers?"

QE: "I'm nice, but not that nice. I don't want that creep near any destroyers and cause problems."

Everyone agree to my plan and we're heading downstairs to the dungeon level where the Gray Fox is holding a long with the maids which is Sheffield and Neptune who is guarding on both sides of the gate before bowing before me.

Sheffield: "Welcome your majesty; the prisoner is waiting."

Sheffield grab a key card from her pocket and insert it into the slot of the device which open up the gates and we continue moving forward to see the prisoner. The prisoner cells are completely empty except a couple of skeletons from the past and we didn't have a chance to clean it up during the war, but I prefer focus on dealing with the Sirens and the Crimson Axis. We approach one of the cell that contains the pilot of Gray Fox who is the most dangerous pilot in Iron Blood, but he is your typical German fellow. Sheffield open the door so I can talk with him and I don't need to worry about him since he's chain up on the wall.

QE: "Greeting Gray Fox; I welcome you to my castle. I hope we can become good friends."

Fredrick(tire): "Why should I be friends with a bunch of tea drinkers?"

Warspite(angry): "ENOUGH OF YOU!"

Warspite was about to hit him, but I stop her since I'm here to be less hostile otherwise we won't get enough information about Tirpitz.

QE: "Sorry for my sister's action; she is doing her duty as a guard, but  I  want to talk with you about Tirpitz and her whereabouts."

Fredrick: "You won't able to defeat her; she is the most powerful battleship of the Atlantic."

QE: "Apart that position belongs to her older sister Bismarck who is the main flagship of Iron Blood. She is the second wheel of the fleet."

That was enough to cause anger in his face which I want to see while at the same time my followers question of what I'm doing to anger him. If his loyalty belongs to Tirpitz than putting a dent in their relationship will be a breeze.

QE: "She was nickname the Lonely Queen of the North because Iron Blood doesn't see her as useful unlike her older sister. If you help me overthrow the leadership of Iron Blood and than after the war; we can peaceful and allies against the Sirens once this is over."

His loyalty toward Tirpitz knows no bounds and I want to make sure that Bismarck is out of the picture and punish for hurting Hood during the Battle of Denmark Strait. I wait for his answer until he smirk.

Fredrick: "You think that I betray the Fatherland and hand the reign over to Lady Tirpitz with the help of tea drinkers than you're mistaken. She can become a flagship with no-ones help so I advise you think another way for me to talk."

This angers me because he refuse an offer and I slap him on the face before I left. I exit the dungeon with my sister and my guards while trying to figure out to pressure the pilot to join my side since he's useful as a pilot, but his loyalty to his homeland is strong including his loyalty to Tirptiz.

Warspite(angry): "I can't believe that Krut is refusing an offer that you set up."

Wales: "He is determine to hold his loyalty to his country and Tirpitz. I'm afraid that we can't get anything out of him without torturing him to death."

Warspite: "You know we can't do that because it's a violation of the law of Azur Lane. I'm afraid we need to capture Tirpitz in order to control him."

I agree with Warspite, but that is going to ask a lot of manpower to hunt down that battleship unless we find her weak spot. I continue to think until Belfast arrive with an unknown maid that has a short black hair.

QE: "Belfast; who is this?"

Belfast: "She is our new maid for today."

???: "Greetings your majesty; my name is Ult and it's an honor to work with the Royal Navy."

I look at the paper which contains information about and was created not long ago. Her name is HMS Ult a kansen from one of the colonies, but I didn't know that we're getting a new maid today.

QE: "Which colony are you're from?"

Ult: "From New Zealand."

That was a long journey and I didn't learn about this until now so I talk with Belfast about this.

QE: "I'm confuse Belfast?"

Belfast: "Don't you remember that we're getting a new maid today from one of the colonies. I witness her performance while you're down in the dungeon and she is a S rank maid and recommend her to serve one of the Knights."

QE: "I think about it."

I walk away while I have Belfast to escort our new maid, but why do I feel like she looks familiar. I can't point my finger.
