Bismarck

Eh? Who is this? I saw a man in formal clothes coming out, and I talked to him through the door.

"Excuse me, who are you?" I asked

"I am General Lütjens's butler. May I ask what can I do for you, young lady?" he asked politely.

"Hello, I am the captain's subordinate, he asked me to live here temporarily"

"Excuse me, are you Miss Bismarck?" he asked

"It's me, I am Bismarck." It seems that the captain has already said this, so I don't need to explain it.

"Hello, Miss Bismarck, welcome to Berlin," the butler helped me open the door.

"Thank you, what's your name?"

"You can just call me Krupp"

"Yes, Mr. Krupp."

The housekeeper took me into the house. To my surprise, the decoration inside the house was not quite consistent with the outside. Compared with the luxury outside, the inside seemed a bit plain and elegant, without the feeling of splendor, but with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The owner of the house should be a person who likes to study. I observed that the largest piece of furniture in the living room was a solid wood bookcase filled with various books.

"This bookcase is so big," I said, it almost takes up half of the wall.

"This is the general's book, but since he left, Miss Liliana has been reading it," Krupp said as he led me inside.

It turns out her name is Liliana. I felt relieved, I finally knew it.

"Does Miss Lily read often?" I asked.

"Yes, the lady likes books very much," Krupp replied.

That's good. Girls who like reading won't have bad tempers. I also noticed Marx's Capital in the bookcase. I don't know if it's the Captain or Liliana who's reading it.

"Where is Miss Lily?" I looked around and saw no one else except a servant who was cooking, so I couldn't help but ask.

"Today is Friday, Miss Lily is in class and not at home."

"Oh" I was a little disappointed

"But Miss Lily will be back in the evening," Krupp said with a smile, "Miss Mai, let's go to the room first."

"Okay, thank you for your help," I smiled embarrassedly.

We went up to the second floor, where there were four bedrooms. The housekeeper prepared a guest bedroom for me.

"Miss, this is your room." He opened the door for me.

The interior design of the room is very simple, which is perfect for someone like me who likes quietness. I am very satisfied with it.

"Thank you, I like it very much," I said sincerely.

"Miss, you are too polite." The butler bowed slightly. "If you need anything, just shout at the door. I'll be in the hall."

"Sorry for your trouble"

I walked the butler to the door. When he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and said to me, "By the way, Miss Bismarck, the room with double doors at the end of the corridor is the general's bedroom, but it's best not to go there casually. The general doesn't like people entering his room."

"what?"

I wondered if something went wrong. After the butler left, I lay alone in bed, thinking back to the way the butler looked at me when I entered the room, and the words he "kindly" reminded me of at the end. It was over, and I suddenly thought, could he have mistaken me for the captain's mistress?

I almost rolled around on the bed, grabbing my hair. Although it is true that the captain is handsome and powerful, this is not the point! No wonder they look at me so strangely. My face was burning like nothing, and I didn't leave the room for the whole afternoon.

It was almost ten in the evening and the captain still hadn't returned. I heard a girl's voice coming from downstairs. Listening to her conversation with the housekeeper, I was sure who had come. My first impression of the voice was gentle and polite.

I walked out of the room and just as I reached the stair railing, I met a pair of eyes. What a beautiful girl! I was really stunned by those eyes. Was that Liliana?

She tilted her head slightly, and looked at me carefully with her clear and bright blue eyes. Her fair skin was completely free of freckles like Westerners, just like white porcelain. Her delicate oval face and red lips added a touch of charm. Her shoulder-length golden hair was scattered down, with a slight curl at the end, and a few strands fell on her chest. She was tall and slender, and her figure was the same height as mine.

"Hello, Miss Liliana," I said with a smile, extending my hand first.

"Are you Bismarck, father's subordinate?" She stepped up a step and stood shoulder to shoulder with me, then smiled and stretched out her hand to shake mine.

"It's me. I often heard the captain mention your name on the ship. I have heard of your great name for a long time."

"The captain has always said that she has a beautiful daughter. Today I saw that she is indeed as beautiful as she is."

Since you have to flatter someone loudly when you are at their house, I agree with this statement. As for whether she eats it or not, that is her business.

She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Really? You really made me feel embarrassed by praising me. I also heard about you from my father. He said that a beautiful subordinate of his was going to live in our house. So I rushed back today."

We looked at each other and smiled, both knowing that the other was talking nonsense. We all knew the captain's temper pretty well, so how could he say such a thing?

After these few words, plus the little gesture of her shaking hands with me just now, I can almost see Liliana's character. Although she looks like a gentle girl, she is used to controlling things in her heart. Looking closely at her eyes, there is a hint of sharpness hidden in her eyes, just like the captain. In fact, think about it, how can such a cold person like the captain teach a little white rabbit?

She was probably not used to direct conversations, and I caught a glimpse of disgust towards me from the depths of her eyes. After a little thought, I knew the reason - she thought I was a woman who wanted to marry into her house.

At this time, she refused to speak directly, so I had to tell the truth. Otherwise, once my image was fixed in her mind, it would be difficult to change it in the future. After all, we had to get along for half a year. But my identity was not so easy to explain, so I could only pass the buck to the captain.

"Thank you so much for your help," I bowed slightly.

"It's nothing. Isn't Dad coming back yet?" she asked casually.

"The captain was taken to the Admiralty by the Marshal. I don't know when he will be back."

"Then I'll go put things away first, and we'll eat together later," Lily said, looking at me.

"Liliana" I suddenly said

"Well? What's the matter?" she turned around and asked

"My identity is not what you think. I am not the captain's mistress." My face turned slightly red when I said mistress.

"Oh? What is that?" Liliana smiled playfully.

I continued, "It's difficult for me to explain. If you have any questions, you can go to the captain later. He will tell you everything if he is willing to."

Liliana looked at me seriously.

“I’ll ask you later.”

The captain still hadn't come back for dinner, so only Liliana and I sat opposite each other. As for the butlers, they wouldn't come to the main table to eat. Lily had no intention of chatting at the table, and my mind was also drifting to other places. For a while, there was only the crisp sound of knives and forks hitting each other.

Maybe it was because I was far away from the main body. After a day, I suddenly felt hungry, just like a normal person. I didn't plan to eat just now, but I was so hungry that I came down embarrassedly. From the beginning to now, I have eaten five or six steaks plus a serving of macaroni. Even the butler who has always been very polite was a little surprised.

"Miss, do you need any more?" Krupp asked as the food on my plate ran out again.

"Give me another steak," I whispered, feeling a little embarrassed under Liliana's gaze. I really wanted to put down my fork, but I was too far away from my main body and couldn't project my energy. I was afraid that if I didn't eat enough, I would become translucent. I didn't know how long I could keep eating this time. My energy conversion efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people. After eating food, nothing is left but energy. Ahem, that means - I don't need to go to the toilet. Off topic!

"How old is Bismarck? He looks like he is less than 20 years old," Liliana asked, putting down her fork.

I came into this world when I was just nineteen years old, but three years have passed and nothing seems to have changed at all.

"I'm twenty-two."

"You are very young. What do you do on the ship?" she asked

This is really hard for me to answer, so I could only vaguely reply that I was in charge of artillery, a position similar to that of an engineer.

"I don't remember there were any female crew members on the Bismarck," she said as she cut a small piece of beef and put it into her mouth elegantly. Lily seemed to know a lot about this.

"Haha, I went up from the shipyard," I laughed.

"Foss Shipyard?"

"yes"

"Really?" she said, laughing.

"Yeah" I was sweating in my heart. Liliana was pressing her step by step, and I could only smile to maintain a good relationship with her.

Captain, please come back soon! I am speechless when asked by your daughter.

"The general is back"

Mr. Butler suddenly said, Did God hear my request?

"Is the Captain (Dad) back?" Lily and I said at the same time, looked at each other, stood up and walked to the door.

"You are eating. How are you, Bismarck? Are you adapting well at home?" The captain strode in, took off his windbreaker and handed it to Krupp.

"Uh-huh"

I nodded immediately and said, Captain, please talk to Lily as soon as possible, otherwise I will be killed by your eyes. Please save me!

Chapter 19: Nuclear Physicist

The captain came in, touched my head, and asked

"How is it? Are you used to it?"

"Well, it's OK," I mumbled. I was just looking for an opportunity to pull the captain aside to talk about how to change the image in Liliana's mind. I turned around and found that Liliana was looking at me with undisguised hostility. My heart tightened. It was over. Then I remembered how intimate it was to touch the head. I was used to being touched by Lindemann and the captain on the ship, so I didn't feel anything. But in the eyes of others, it was really a bit eye-catching. Krupp was already a little stunned.

Now, that reputation is going to be confirmed.

I want to cry without tears.

"Dad, I have something to tell you. Come with me first." Lily looked at me with disgust, took the captain's hand and walked inside.

I touched my nose and said, "Miss Lily, can I have a few words with the captain first?"

"Do you have anything else to say?" she asked bluntly.

"Things are not what you think," I said helplessly, "Your father and I are really just superiors and subordinates."

"What happened to you?" The captain frowned and looked at us. Now even a fool could see that the atmosphere was not right. Krupp had already retreated into the house.

Lily didn't say anything, just stared at me. She must have been quite stimulated by the touch on her head. I could only smile at her apologetically.

"Captain," I turned to him and said, "Lily has some misunderstandings about me, so I think it's better to make it clear. Lily, I really want to be friends with you."

I said the second half of the sentence to Lily, but unfortunately she just snorted.

"Go to my study," the captain said coldly with a gloomy face.

We soon arrived at the study, the captain sat on a chair, and Lily and I stood, looking like we were being scolded.

"Tell me, what's the misunderstanding?"

"Miss Lily mistook me for your mistress, so I thought it would be better for you to come forward and clarify things." Although I felt a little embarrassed, I went straight to the point.

The captain frowned and said, "Lily, Bismarck is just my subordinate. You think too much."

"Am I overthinking it? Look at what you did just now. Is this something that can be done between superiors and subordinates?" Lily asked calmly. "Besides, which subordinate would live in the boss's house? Sorry, this is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

"Bismarck's situation is rather special." The captain looked at Lily with a headache. He usually scolded people countless times, but now it seemed that he had no way to deal with his daughter.

"Special? Yes, you brought her home because she is special. Are you looking for a mother for me? She is only one year older than me."

Not only me, but also the captain was embarrassed

"Ahem, Lily, so you are twenty-one years old." I interrupted at an inopportune time and was immediately bombarded with stares from two people. Well, you father and daughter continue, and I raise my hands in surrender.

"You're really overthinking it, Lily. Bismarck is just coming to Berlin to live for a while and will be back to Hamburg soon." This was probably the first time the captain had argued with his daughter about this kind of issue. I could see that he was a little unnatural. If I had a camera, I would definitely record it.

"Well, she just said that her identity is difficult to explain, so let me ask you, I want to know more about her identity."

"I can't say that." The captain was not good at lying, so he simply refused.

Captain, although I am touched by your keeping the secret for me, it seems that comforting your daughter is more important at this time. This tone can be fatal!

Sure enough, Liliana suddenly pointed at me and said calmly, "Since her identity cannot be revealed, then either I leave or she leaves, it's your choice!"

Although Lily's words were very extreme, I admired her because no matter how angry she was, she never lost her composure. She just stood there quietly, speaking in a calm tone, full of aristocratic demeanor, without the feeling of a shrew scolding on the street. She said a sentence calmly, with a soft tone, but it made you believe that she would really do it.

"Lily, please stop making trouble."

"Captain, if my identity is embarrassing for you, as long as Miss Lily can promise to keep it secret, I don't mind you telling her," I suddenly said. To be honest, I really regarded Lily as my own, because she was the captain's daughter, and the captain was the first person I met in the world. I believe that the captain's daughter is not the kind of person who can't keep secrets. So it doesn't matter if she knows.

The captain looked at me, then was silent for a long while before speaking.

"Lily, this may be the first time I ask you for help. Bismarck said that if you can keep it a secret, I can tell you her identity. Let me ask you first, can you keep it a secret?"

"I can," Lily nodded firmly. "If I am wrong, I will apologize to her immediately and even call her sister, but I hope you won't lie to me, Dad."

"I won't lie to you," the captain said helplessly, "Since you said so, I'll tell you that she will stay here for half a year. You two should get along well and save me some trouble."

Liliana nodded.

"She is my battleship Bismarck"

Lily didn't respond "Dad what do you mean?"

"She is the battleship Bismarck. The battleship Bismarck is her." The captain pointed at me. He had the most patience with Liliana.

"Miss Lily, please look at my hand." I raised my hand, and then my arm gradually became transparent.
