June 12, 1942

Royal Navy Base, Gibraltar

3:00 PM

On a balcony of the Mansion of at the top of a hill overlooking the whole Naval Yard that sheltered Royal Navy Ships. One Shipgirl sat at a small tea table placed at the middle overlooking the Naval Base.

"You seemed to be happy? May I know why?" Duke of York inquires.

"Yes. I just received the latest news of what is currently transpired at Azur Lane Main Base." Valiant said with excitement in her voice.

"Ohh...." Duke of York got the hit of what she was excited about. "Is it about Sir Lafayette? ~"

Valiant after hearing his name quickly folded the newspaper in her hand, and almost crumpled the newspaper, as she turned red.

"Ha-how did you know?" She asks as her voice shakes in total embarrassment.

"Well, for the past few weeks, you've been flipping pages of newspaper and switching radio channels like crazy to eavesdrop any new about him."

Valiant covered half of her face with the newspaper while she was red. "Yo-You noticed that?"

"Uh-hmm." Duke of York nods. "Not just me, everyone else too. Everyone thought you gone nuts with all of that."

Valiant grumbles in embarrassment, she now couldn't compete with her Sister at the throne and assume the Royal Navy Flagship.

Well, Laffey-200 just took that throne few days ago in the game of chess, and won. Queen Elizabeth just falls in the most classic blunder in the world, by challenging a Ship with Aim-Bot.

"So..." Duke of York broke the awkward silence. "What does the news say?"

Valliant fixes the crumbled part of the newspaper and starts flipping the page of the newspaper. On the front page, it talked about the recent deployment of the new UR Ships that were recently commissioned by Eagle Union.

"A Hybrid, huh?" Duke of York mused.

"The talk of making a Hybrid between Carriers and Battleships is been talks for ages, and now Eagle Union unveils their own." Valiant said, as she read the news.

She them flips the next page, at the front of the page. She was surprised to see something surprising and could cause someone to faint.

Duke of York takes a peak at the news being plastered on the page, she places her hand at her mouth to cover her glee. "Oh my~ you have grown, young lad."
