"I have a question. If what you're saying is true, then... wouldn't Governor Lilith in the Pacific Governors Mansion have lived for over five hundred years? But my textbook says she's twenty-three years old!" Chen Xiaoqiang said in shock.
It wasn't surprising that he was shocked by a human living for over five hundred years. Zuikaku explained patiently, "Yes! You heard right. She has indeed lived for five hundred years. But even though Governor Lilith has lived that long, she's still an old delinquent. She does nothing all day, ignores her duties, and even gropes the Ship Girls' breasts."
"Not only that, she always claims she's only twenty-three and that she can still grow taller and get a bigger chest. In reality, she's just deluding herself. Once she became a Ruler at twenty-three, her physical growth stopped. Because of that, she won't grow any taller, and wanting a bigger chest is nothing but a pipe dream."
"As for the textbook saying she's only twenty-three, it's just because Rulers look the same year after year. So, when the textbook introduces her, it just says she's twenty-three. In truth, she's just an old hag who's lived for over five hundred years."
Far away in the Pacific Governors Mansion, Lilith was in the Governor's office doing'serious business.'
"Yuudachi, just one touch, please!" Lilith pinned her Destroyer Ship Girl, Yuudachi, against the wall.
"Ah! Governor, don't! If you keep this up, I'll scream!" Yuudachi cried out, her face flushed as she resisted with her hands.
"Hehe! Go ahead and scream. This room is soundproofed perfectly. Plus, at this hour, there are very few people around; they've all gone on expeditions. So, just give in to me!" Lilith grabbed Yuudachi's struggling hands and said as she pressed against her.
"Achoo!" Lilith rubbed her nose, feeling like someone was badmouthing her. Was someone calling her an old hag again? Those unruly citizens really infuriated her. But whatever, what's in front of her is more important.
"Come on, cutie! Give me a kiss." Lilith slowly moved her lips toward Yuudachi's moist, glossy, tender lips.
"No! Governor!" Yuudachi continued her futile resistance, but how could a small Destroyer resist the power of the Ruler, the King of Gold?
Just as their lips were about to meet, the office door was suddenly thrown open. Lilith's movements stopped, and she released Yuudachi's hands, shouting angrily, "Who is it?! Who's ruining my fun?"
"Governor! This is bad, something big has happened... Hm!?" Lexington rushed into the office. Her Gaze swept over the office chair, but she didn't see the Governor reviewing documents. Instead, she saw her messing around with a Destroyer.
With a flushed face and tears in her eyes, Yuudachi straightened her disheveled clothes and rushed toward the door, passing by Lexington as she ran out.
Lexington looked at the large stack of documents in the office; it was clear Lilith hadn't done much at all. Besides, you already have me, yet you dare to cheat behind my back?
If you want to mess around, am I not enough? I have the chest, the curves, a peerless face, and a perfect figure. Where exactly do I fall short compared to that Destroyer!? Lexington was so angry that she cracked her knuckles, making a popping sound. With a red glint in her eyes, she said to Lilith, "Governor! You know the consequences of doing this, don't you?"
Watching the murderous Lexington approach her, Lilith swallowed hard and said in a trembling, fearful voice, "Th-That... Lady Lex, I... I can explain."
"Talking is useless. Accept your judgment!"
"Ah! Such misfortune!"
Then, Lilith's blood-curdling screams echoed from the Governor's office.
A while later, Lilith lay on the ground, having lost all hope in life, as if something truly tragic had just happened to her.
Lexington clapped her hands, feeling slightly refreshed. But then she suddenly remembered she had rushed to the Governor-Generals Mansion for an urgent matter. She quickly said to Lilith on the ground, "Alright, Governor, get up quickly. I have an urgent matter to tell you."
"..." Lilith ignored her, as if to say, 'I'm very angry, come comfort me.'
"It seems someone won't shed a tear until they see the coffin! You actually dare to ignore me." Lexington said in a dangerous tone.
Hearing this, Lilith lost her composure. She jumped up from the floor, suddenly full of energy. "What is it, then!?"
Lexington said seriously, "The eisnor great diamond has triggered a King's Reaction!"
"Doesn't it trigger King's Reactions all the time? What's the big deal? Probably another Ruler is slaying the Abyss." Seeing Lexington's serious face, Lilith thought it was something major, but after hearing her out, she said dismissively.
"But this King's Reaction is different. It's emitting the radiance of the Silver King, which has never happened before." Lexington said patiently.
"What! The Silver King? We're going to the underground research lab immediately." Lilith was shocked and rushed toward the underground lab.
After the two arrived at the underground research lab, they entered a special room containing a large diamond. This was the physical manifestation of humanity's prayers—the eisnor great diamond.
Looking at the silver light erupting from the eisnor great diamond, Lilith asked a blonde man in a white lab coat with a solemn expression, "Oz, when did the Silver King's Reaction begin?"
The man named Oz was the director of this underground research lab. He said excitedly, "It started twenty minutes ago. I'm so lucky to see a Silver King's Reaction in my lifetime! Ah! My brain is trembling!"
After saying this, Oz tilted his head and laughed strangely while clutching his head.
Lilith and Lexington were used to Oz's behavior. Whenever Oz encountered something that interested him, he would act like this, as if he were insane.
Then again, few scientists weren't a bit mad. Not long ago, a scientist was sent to a mental asylum because he got too absorbed in researching Ship Girls.
"Governor, do you think the Silver King could be Illustrious? You know, every Ruler possesses an S-rank soul network." Lexington whispered.
"No way! I've never seen her use the Silver King's power even once. But even if she is the Silver King, it doesn't matter if she doesn't use that power; I'll definitely protect her." Lilith said overbearingly.
"The problem is, if she really is, you'll definitely keep her locked by your side and won't let her go to that island to be an Admiral!" Lexington countered directly.
Lilith crossed her arms over her flat chest and said, "Isn't that obvious? Even if she is the Silver King, she's just been born, unlike other Rulers who immediately possess strength comparable to a Five-Star Legendary Ship Girl."
"Because the three seals haven't been broken, the Silver King is at most a Three-Star Epic Ship Girl right now. Isn't she quite safe staying in the Governor-General's Mansion?"
