I really don't want to be the pirate king

In the spacious auditorium, there were a large number of naval officers and soldiers sitting below, including many major generals and several lieutenant generals.

Ekaterina, wearing a blue jersey, stood up from the first row of seats, walked up the stairs, climbed onto the stage, and faced the hall.

Marshal Warring States came over, took the medal from the officer next to him, pinned it on her chest, then picked up a military rank order and handed it to her.

"Thank you Marshal!"

Ekaterina saluted with a military salute, took the order, and saluted downwards, with thunderous applause.

"From today on, you are a lieutenant general."

Warring States patted her shoulder and said: "Be a good example as an officer, catch more pirates, and fulfill your duties."

"I will continue to work hard."

Ekaterina nodded heavily, feeling a little excited. Five years after becoming a major general, she was promoted again and became a lieutenant general.

What was going to be held today was a conferment ceremony for her and several other officers. In addition to her, there was also a major general named Maynard who became a lieutenant general. The rest were promotion ceremonies for major generals.

After the awarding ceremony, Ekaterina also received a transfer order from the G2 base to the headquarters.

Although you have greater freedom when you reach the headquarters and can travel to the world and other places, you do not have such a high degree of autonomy. Unlike at the G2 base, except for the lieutenant general, you basically have the final say.

But it would be great to be promoted. Becoming a lieutenant general was something she had always longed for.

This means that she will be able to get a large naval battleship, lead thousands of sailors, and gain greater power.

She was very happy and completed her appointment quickly. After getting a large warship, she led the sailors into the sea and conducted drills.

After the seven-day drill, Yekaterina led the sailors directly to the Golden City.

Looking at the glorious city, the officers and soldiers on the battleship were all yearning for it, especially the words of free movement uttered by the Vice Admiral. After everyone had two days of vacation, they rushed towards the city like wild dogs. Golden City.

Yekaterina took an electric car to the Golden Emperor Casino to meet her children and the man...

She came to the upper floor and saw four-year-old Isaac playing with three-year-old Alice. Next to her was Catalina, who was playing with her two children.

"Mother."

When Isaac saw his mother, his little face was very happy. He ran towards her and was hugged by her.

"Being a lieutenant general is busy, right?"

Catalina saw her, crossed her arms across her chest, and said displeasedly: "I don't even have time to see your child."

"There have been a lot of things going on lately, so I can't come here."

Ekaterina said, then looked at the other person and said softly: "Please take care of Isaac."

"fine."

Catalina's expression softened and she said, "I like Isaac very much."

"I like Aunt Carter too."

Isaac shouted sweetly, and then said: "I dare not sleep alone at night. She will coax me to sleep and tell me bedtime stories."

Hearing this, Yekaterina felt moved, hooked his nose and said, "How old are you, and you are still afraid of the dark and letting someone sleep with you?"

Having said this, she looked at Catalina and said, "Thank you so much."

"you are welcome."

Catalina smiled and said: "They are all his children, so there is no difference between them."

"exactly."

Ekaterina nodded and said, "Give me the children and Alice. I will take them to play. You can go and rest."

She played with the two children for a while, and a sexy blonde woman found her and said, "Boss Aaron asked you to come over."

"You two, stop running around and just play here."

Ekaterina gave the two children a warning, followed the other party to the fifteenth floor, and saw the man in the office.

He stood by the window, staring out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Ekaterina waited until the door closed and asked directly.

"I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

Aaron turned around, looked at the other person and asked, "As your man, you come here, but you rarely come to see me."

"You are just the father of the child."

Ekaterina snorted, looked at him and said, "If it weren't for this relationship, we would still be enemies now."

"You are such a vengeful woman."

Aaron walked aside, picked up the red wine, poured two glasses, handed one glass to her, and said, "Congratulations on becoming a vice admiral."

"Thank you."

Ekaterina took the glass and took a sip.

"Some time ago, I contacted your father."

Aaron looked at her and said: "He is already old and tired of dealing with government affairs every day. He misses you, but you have never thought about going back to inherit the throne?"

"I went back to see him once. He is still in good health and can still work for many years."

Ekaterina said, "When Isaac grows up, he can succeed his father."

"Why don't you want to go back?"

Aaron said: "A lieutenant general is not comparable to the leader of a country."

"The lieutenant general can go anywhere, but the king cannot. He can only stay in the West Sea. It is even difficult to leave the country."

Yekaterina said: "Moreover, Feisak Kingdom needs a lieutenant general in me."

The Kingdom of Flowers would not care if he was just a rear admiral. After all, he had good friends with officials and generals, which could not change the gap in national power. However, the official position of a lieutenant general and his connections in the navy could make the Kingdom of Flowers afraid.

Although Feisak Kingdom has Aaron's support, she does not place all her hopes on him.

"Not only that……"

Ekaterina looked into the distance and said, "I still have a chance to go further."

"General?"

Aaron raised his eyebrows. The next official position of a lieutenant general is an admiral. The highest combat power in the navy, he can launch a demon-slaying order to destroy a country. He has extremely high power.

"Yes."

Ekaterina nodded and said, "This is my next goal."

“But it’s not something that can be done simply.”

Aaron smiled and said: "To become a general, you not only need great military exploits, but also extremely strong strength."

"I have less phantom beast species fruit abilities than the natural type."

Ekaterina said: "The strength is also among the best among lieutenant generals. I don't think there is hope."

"How old are you this year?" Aaron suddenly asked.

"41 is old."

Ekaterina replied, and then said: "Marshal of the Warring States Period is already 76 years old. He will probably retire in a few years. I will have a chance by then."

"But there's Gion and Kake above you."

Aaron said: "Whether it is record or strength, you are not as good as them."

"They are more than ten years older than me."

Ekaterina said: "I may not be as good as them now, but if you give me time, I will never be weaker than them. I think the Navy will choose me."

Aaron didn't know how strong she was now, but it was really difficult to surpass Gion and Kake.

Even if they reach the same level, after the Warring States Period retreats, it is very likely that no one will be selected to replace the new general, and a global conscription will be carried out to choose someone from outside.

Aaron was not optimistic about her becoming an admiral and thought the hope was slim, but he still raised his glass and said, "Then I hope I can fulfill your dream."

"Thank you."

Ekaterina raised the glass to her lips and drank it in one gulp.

In this case, just give up.

If she can't forget her hatred, she can't be of the same mind as herself. She has such a lofty dream, so it's impossible for her to leave with him.

So Aaron made the final decision to cut her out of his plans.
