[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

George and Fitzwilliam looked at each other, only the laughter of other people on the ship and the sound of gunfire brought by the wind could be heard faintly in their ears.

George put one leg up and kicked against the bulkhead.

He bared his teeth and said with a smile: "What do you mean? You don't mean to say that some high-ranking official wants to steal my military achievements?"

Fitzwilliam raised his hand and patted George's shoulder heavily, "This kind of thing is very common, because you are not a nobleman."

George: "So, people like me deserve to be cannon fodder?"

Fitzwilliam was silent for a while, then whispered: "It's not without benefits, the superior who takes credit for you will use you even more."

"The next time you encounter this situation, the superior will help you."

George rolled his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, "Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam, the superior you mentioned...isn't it you?"

Fitzwilliam was clearly insulted.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not that good yet!"

George whistled, "That's really a pity. I kind of hope that the person who takes away my honor is you, Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam. After all, my sister likes you more than anyone else."

Fitzwilliam quickly flipped through the picture of Joe in his mind.

He stared at George in shock, blushed, and stammered, "You, what did you say?"

George showed a "something bad" expression.

"Lieutenant Colonel, can you pretend that you didn't hear anything?"

Fitzwilliam coughed lightly, "In short, I will try my best to help you with this matter, but it is very likely that the result will not be different."

"After all, the feat of cutting off the head of the enemy's commander in the army is too coveted. If this feat is given to you, it will only allow you to be promoted to a few ranks of officers. If it is given to others, they may earn it for themselves." Get a higher title."

George smiled, "Oh, can't I be knighted for this merit?"

Fitzwilliam laughed dryly once or twice, "That's really difficult."

He returned to the topic, "Let me tell you about this first. I hope you will be mentally prepared and not be too unconvinced at that time. After all, ordinary people can't beat those people."

George smiled and said, "I know, even for my sister's sake, you will help me, won't you?"

He blinked suggestively.

Fitzwilliam became angry and said: "Stop talking nonsense, do you know that your sister and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy..."

He paused, then sighed, "...I'm not as good as Mr. Darcy."

George rubbed his chin, "That's not necessarily the case."

Fitzwilliam's eyelids twitched.

George came over, "Lieutenant Colonel, if you help me, I'll help you connect with my sister."

Fitzwilliam: "Help? How?"

George: "Just tell me who is the person who wants to occupy my achievements, and I will leave the rest to me."

Fitzwilliam lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then slowly said: "This matter is actually very obvious. The nominal supreme commander on this battlefield is a baron temporarily ordered by His Majesty."

Fitzwilliam turned to look behind the ship, "Look there."

George covered his eyes with his hands and looked, and saw three ships standing on the vast blue sea. They were dotted far behind the fleet of other ships. When the battle was fierce, they did not come forward to help.

Moreover, it is obvious that the two ships on the side exist to protect the ship in the middle.

Fitzwilliam sighed: "On the middle ship is our supreme commander, His Excellency Baron North."

George picked his ears, "Wait, why is this name so familiar?"

System: [You are a ghost if you are not familiar with it! 】

Joe smiled softly, "Recently, we really have a relationship with the North family."

system:【……】

It's obviously because North's family Mercury is retrograde, that's why I run into you again and again.

Fitzwilliam: "Are you familiar?"

George: "Yeah, but I forgot where I heard it."

Fitzwilliam: "It's not surprising if you are familiar with it. Your former comrade-in-arms, Christian North, is the second son of the North family."

George hissed, "Oh, he was kicked out by the army, and his father came after him, okay, this is the so-called inheritance from father to son, right?"

Fitzwilliam glared at him angrily, "If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better change your way of speaking. After all, one more friend is better than one more enemy."

George complied with a good attitude.

However, he secretly said in his mind: "Unfortunately, for me, one more enemy is more valuable than one more friend."

George squinted his eyes and looked at where Baron North was, as if he could see the people on the palm-sized boat across the vast sea.

Fitzwilliam patted his shoulder, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "You don't have to do anything for me and your sister, she is a noble and noble lady, I am not worthy of her."

How could a son of an earl say such a thing?

George eyed him with interest.

Since it was only the two of them, Fitzwilliam spoke his mind.

"Miss Wickham's beauty is so touching that no man will be moved by her, but what is even more touching is her character and soul. I am only the youngest son of the Earl, and I have no way to inherit the family business, and even Not even a soul is worthy of her, so don't give Miss Wickham any trouble."

Fitzwilliam lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, "What's more, Miss Wickham has made up her mind not to marry anyone. I think so too. What man's soul in this world can be worthy of Miss Wickham?"

The system was taken aback, [He really gave you a very high evaluation, Master. 】

Neither George nor Joe spoke.

Fitzwilliam shook his head in disappointment, and cheered up in an instant.

He said to George: "If your sister needs help, I am willing to help. That's why I brought you here and told you this."

George smiled and said, "My sister is really good. No matter where I am, I can be taken care of by her."

Fitzwilliam couldn't help but said, "Believe me, there are many people who envy you."

George raised his chin triumphantly, "Ha, that's really my honor."

——You can only envy from afar!

After the two finished talking, they returned to the deck, and the ships also began to chase the enemy ships.

……

On Joe's side, there was finally a "rustling" sound from the "small black room" separated from her by the wall. Claude Frollo struggled to stand up, but he didn't leave, and he didn't put on his clothes. It sounded like he was still taking off his clothes.

Joe's mental power watched Claude's behavior through the wall.

He seemed to want to take off his pants, but because he had whipped himself just now, his body was weak, and it took a long time before he took off his pants.

Then, he picked up a ring hanging on the wall.

There are metal barbs on this ring, and the barbs are bound by a belt. It can be seen at a glance that this is a penance belt used by ascetic monks to practice.

Claude put his right leg into the penance belt, slowly pulled it up, and finally pulled the dark penance belt to the position almost at the root of his thigh.

He fiddled with the straps and fastened the penance belt.

The black leather belt cuts into the white flesh, forming a very sharp contrast.

Claude took a deep breath and carefully lowered his legs.

He had to be careful, because wearing the penance belt, if he moved a little vigorously, his skin would be stabbed by the barbs on the penance belt.

The system took a deep breath while looking at it, [I really admire these ascetic monks, they are really ruthless to themselves. 】

【but……】

The system whispered: [This penance belt looks like the thigh shirt clips that people will use to tie shirts in the future. 】

Joe: "..."

Claude limped into his shirt and pants, and now he only needed to move a little bit, and there were severe pains in many places all over his body.

But even though the flames of pain set him on fire, he still couldn't restrain his thoughts about Joe, and Joe still sneaked up in his mind from time to time.

He was absolutely disappointed in himself.

Qiao took a deep breath of the anxious emotional energy in his body, and said quietly: "The energy value brought by this emotional energy is quite a lot. Do I want to lure the protagonist in the book to also produce this emotional energy?"

"The main protagonists in this world are Mr. Darcy and the transsexual Mr. Bennett, right?"

System: [You, what do you want to do again! 】

Joe smiled, "It's nothing."

……

By the time George's ship pursued the enemy's ship, the battle was already over.

Hearing of George's great achievements, his comrades couldn't help but praise him and booed him for a treat.

George smiled and said, "Then I have to wait until I get the reward."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay, coughed a few times uncomfortably, and stopped bringing up the topic.

George sneered.

It seems that occupying other people's military achievements is already an old problem in the army.

Soon, there was a banquet on the ship, as if they had won the battle.

George finds Kalyn Bennett, who is hiding to drink champagne, and chats about it.

Kailin said happily: "Their coach is dead, what else can they hold on to? I'm afraid they will be defeated soon. Our coach is very happy, and he especially allows us to eat and drink too much."

George secretly rolled his eyes.

Silly hat, this is the time when problems are most likely to occur. If he is an enemy general, he will definitely take this opportunity to sneak attack.

However, he is now very soft-spoken, even if he raises the question, no one will listen to him.

Holding a glass of champagne, George sat on the side of the boat with his legs crossed, idly looking at the sea.

Kailin's cheeks were flushed, he smashed his mouth, followed George's gaze, but saw nothing.

He touched George. "Hey, what are you looking at?"

George took a sip of champagne and said with a smile, "I'm watching my military exploits."

"what?"

George said to the system: "Can he take away one of my heads, and can he take away all the heads I have cut?"

He bared his white teeth, and said with a cruel smile: "The enemy's head... I don't need this most in my subordinates."

There was almost a gleam of coldness in his smile.

Looking at this scene, the system couldn't help shivering.

It's over, George has turned on the god-killing mode.

When the banquet was in full swing, a burst of gunshots shattered the soldiers' dreams.

"What? What happened?"

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Damn it, you shameless gringo dared to sneak attack!"

"Quick, get the gun!"

"Where's my gun? Where's the gun?"

There was a panic on the boat. Some people were busy looking for hats and clothes that they had taken off, while others were looking for guns and knives that had been put in the cabin. Before the enemy came over, a stampede happened first .

Kailin Bennett was timid, and when he heard the gun body, he slid down the side of the boat and sat on the ground with his legs weak.

He looked at his comrades who were coming and going in a mess, and he rolled himself into a ball and retracted into the corner.

"boom!"

A bullet hit him just above the head.

"what!"

Kailin screamed, knelt down on the ground and tried to crawl into the cabin.

There were gunshots and screams above his head, and his hands were stepped on several times.

He could almost feel the wind blowing the killing intent from his head.

He took out the cross from his collar and prayed: "Miss Wickham, please protect me, please."

As he spoke, he kissed the cross.

In the end, he even put the cross in his mouth and crawled away on his stomach.

Strange to say, since he put the crucifix in place, there has been no gunfire from his side.

Sure enough, Miss Wickham was his protector.

Kailin thought with tears in her eyes: I must pay my respects to Miss Wickham in person in the future, if he still has the life to go back.

Strange, what about George?

He was still here just now?
