Chapter 565

The sun is bright, the sea breeze is comfortable; no matter how you look at it, it's a very nice weather.

In the room, Qin Ge watched Duoduo, who was helping tidy his commander uniform, and said somewhat nervously, "Duoduo, do you think my commander uniform is appropriate?"

"Master, could it be that you dislike Duoduo for not tidying your clothes well and want to drive her away?" Duoduo, who was tidying the clothes, froze for a moment, then said to Qin Ge with extreme disappointment.

Brother Qin quickly waved his hands, "That's not the case at all; Duoduo has tidied my clothes very well, and she's also very capable—how could I drive her away?"

I just wanted to ask whether wearing a commander uniform at such a solemn oath ceremony might be inappropriate; should I change into a black suit?

"Master doesn't dislike Duoduo; in fact, he praised Duoduo for being capable—that's wonderful." Duoduo's expression shifted from gloom to bright in an instant, she laughed happily, then said to Qin Ge, "Duoduo thinks Master looks handsome no matter what he wears."

Qin Ge let out a sigh of relief seeing Duoduo's mood brighten; such explanations have happened several times these past two days. Since Saint Louis stepped down from the secretary ship position, Duoduo has taken over that role.

And over these past couple days of getting along, Qin Ge has been continually getting to know Duoduo.

He found that Duoduo handles ordinary work and tasks with ease, her excellence comparable to Belfast's; however, she is prone to anxiety and constantly doubts whether Qin Ge will abandon her.

So whenever this happens, Brother Qin must quickly explain to prevent Duoduo from overthinking.

And today is also the day of Qin Ge and Guanghui's oath ceremony; as secretary ship and as a maid, Duoduo naturally came to take care of Qin Ge's appearance.

Hearing Duoduo's firm words, Qin Ge couldn't help but smile, 'Then I'll listen to you, or just wear this commander's uniform.'

"Was Duoduo's opinion adopted? Master values Duoduo so much? So happy……"

Seeing Qin Ge adopt her suggestion, Duoduo happily said, feeling very sweet inside.

Qin Ge chuckled, 'Now isn't the time to talk about this; the agreed time is almost up, Duoduo needs to hurry, otherwise we'll be late later.'

"Yes, please rest assured, master."

After Duoduo's careful service, Qin Ge's clothes were neatly arranged with sharp edges, and his hair and face were groomed. Although they looked about the same as usual, a closer look still showed some differences.

Immediately, the two left the room together and walked toward the Small Chapel where the Oath Ceremony was to be held.

The Small Chapel wasn't far from the lodging building where Qin Ge and the others stayed; usually, when they had nothing to do, Lisailiu, the Free Iris, and the Vichy Tribunal people liked to go there.

Perhaps because the Free Iris and the Vichy Tribunal were formerly the Iris Theocracy, they place relatively more importance on such places as chapels.

When Qin Ge and Duoduo arrived, they found many people already gathered. Most were shipgirls from their own Fleet, of course Envoy from the Nine Major Factions were present as well, plus some Free Shipgirls.

It seemed they were all very interested in Qin Ge's Oath this time.

"Hehe, the commander has come." Weineituo smiled and said to Qin Ge.

"Mm, I'm a bit late." Qin Ge said apologetically.

"It's fine; today is also a very important day for the commander, so spending a little time doesn't matter." Bisimai nodded and said.

"What a pity, I joined the Fleet relatively late, so I'll need to be more proactive from now on." Xin ze xi said with a smile.

"Hehe, Xin ze xi, do you also like the commander?" Enterprise smiled and said.

"Of course, toward such an outstanding person as the commander, it's natural to be well liked." Xin ze xi said with a smile, not hiding her fondness for Qin Ge at all.

"It seems the commander, in a certain sense, really has some deep sins." Ou Gen Qin Wang said with interest.

"Everyone is a good child." Emperor Frederick also smiled.

"Well, I've been hesitating and wavering all along, so from now on I won't hesitate or waver. I'll respond to everyone's feelings toward me one by one, believing we will surely have a very beautiful future." Qin Ge said to the crowd.

"We also believe that, and besides, there's a surprise today." Weineituo smiled and said.

"A surprise?" Qin Ge felt doubtful.

"Of course, haven't you noticed that someone among us is missing here?" Weineituo smiled and said.

Qin Ge looked around, suddenly discovering that Lisailiu wasn't here, and asked doubtfully, 'Lisailiu?'

Weineituo nodded affirmatively, 'That's right, you'll find out later.'

Hearing that, the others couldn't help but laugh, leaving only Qin Ge feeling a bit confused.

However, considering Lisailiu's stern nature, she wouldn't do something outrageous, so Qin Ge still trusted her somewhat, thus he was merely doubtful and didn't think too much about it.

Just then, the chapel's bell began to ring, drawing everyone's gaze to the main seat.

One saw a figure in solemn attire slowly approaching, with golden hair wearing a crown, draped in a wide red cloak, holding a red Bible in hand—this wasn't Lisailiu, so who was it?

"Lisailiu?" Qin Ge looked at that figure in surprise.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to start so quickly." Weineituo smiled and said, "As the commander's Oath Ceremony, how could there be no priest? So this time Lisailiu personally serves as the priest for the commander and Guanghui, all right?"

Qin Ge nodded and smiled, 'You really went out of your way; I hadn't even considered this.'

"The commander is deeply influenced by Donghuang culture, so it's normal not to notice this. Actually a priest can be present or not, but since this is the commander's first Oath Ceremony, it's better to be more solemn." Bisimai said.

While a few were talking, Lisailiu had already walked to the chapel's cross. Then she raised her head, looked around, seeing everyone's gaze turn to her, and involuntarily opened the Bible in her hand.

"We today, in this sacred and solemn holy hall, before the divine and before our sisters, will hold a sacred Oath Ceremony for the commander and Guanghui."

Saying this, Lisailiu paused, then solemnly said, 'Commander and Guanghui, when you two establish your Oath to each other, you must consider it carefully.'

"Because, as long as you two accompany each other in this life, you each have responsibilities and obligations to the other; no matter what hardships or obstacles, your love for each other should not suffer the slightest diminution until the moment of parting at death."

"As children of the divine, following your god's teachings, your Oath will be as firm as a rock."
