Chapter 121: Revolution Defense War - Krafte (3)
After staying in the capital for a few days, Christine guided me to Brest, the naval port in the Bretagne region.
Unlike the dynamic atmosphere of Aquitaine, a trading port bustling with people and ships, Brest, a naval port for massive docked ships of the line and warships and the navy, had a rather static atmosphere.
As I approached the dock where my ship was moored, a man who was waiting saluted Christine.
“Welcome, Admiral Aquitaine, Your Excellency Marquis Lafayette.”
A captain in uniform saluting Christine, who is in a dress, and her return of the salute feels rather strange.
“Today, I am merely here as a guide, so you may be at ease, Captain Dureng.”
Christine, accepting the salute, covered her mouth with a fan, adding.
“I expect you to carry out your duties perfectly.”
“Of course! It is an honor to serve you, Your Excellency Marquis Lafayette. I am Ludovic Dureng, of the Francia Navy, and captain of the 86-gun ship of the line ‘Libre,’ which Your Excellency will be sailing on this voyage, also Admiral Aquitaine's flagship.”
