Enterprise left the room leaving Shikikan alone with Belfast and Nelson.

Belfast: Here is your tea, my lord.

Shikikan: Thank you, Belfast.

Shikikan takes a sip from the tea and immediately feels something is off.

Shikikan: This is not your tea, is it?

Belfast: No my lord, Lady Nelson made this tea.

Shikikan looked at Nelson and saw her looking away, still irritated for some reason.

Shikikan: Thank you, Nelson. This tea is delicious.

Nelson: Stop lying-

Belfast: Lady Nelson.

The tea was too sweet for his taste, but Shikikan had no intentions of irritating Nelson any further.

Belfast: My lord, it's about time to go home. Please finish your tea, I'll wait for you in the car.

Shikikan: Thank you Belfast. Thank you, Nelson.

The two royal ladies exited the office.

Belfast: Lady Nelson, from tomorrow onwards you will be his secretary.

Nelson: *Hmph* Don't expect me to pamper him like you.

Belfast: Nobody is asking you to pamper him. But lady Nelson, do keep in mind you are representing the Royal Navy. Commander has many secretaries from every different fleet. You must not let down the royal navy!

Nelson was at a loss of words. She had never seen the head maid's anger before only heard about it and now she knew why it was so infamous.

Belfast: The commander you are about to serve is the best of what humanity can offer and you too "have" to be the best secretary in the whole fleet.

Nelson: Whatever...

Belfast: You have one week to prove yourself.

Nelson: What do you mean prove?

Belfast: Did you see how Shikikan knows the subtle difference in our tea?

Nelson: Yeah...

Belfast: Make it so commander prefers your tea more than mine.

Nelson: What? But that's not possible.

Belfast: Well then make it possible. Do whatever you have to but by the end of this week, he must fall in love with your tea.

Belfast saw she couldn't get through Nelson so she explains her the reason.

Belfast: A secretaries job is to take care of things that the commander doesn't have time for and that includes making sure he is having his meals.

Nelson: Fine... I will make sure he has his meals but I will not comfort him or anything.

Belfast: Good enough.

Shikikan packs his case and looks at the pictures Enterprise gave him. He carefully checks each of them and places them inside his bag. At the parking lot, Belfast was waiting for him. Belfast unlocked the back door of her car but surprisingly Shikikan chose to sit beside Belfast in the front.

Shikikan: Let's go to the city.

Belfast: As you wish my lord.

Belfast had forgotten everything that had happened today and was now excited to spend some time with Shikikan.
