On Tuesday, that is, the evening when he and Anna agreed to meet in the evening, Fisher saw the time right, and after having dinner with Jasmine, he prepared to set off alone to meet Anna at Mio Cemetery, and took a carriage from Fisher's rental house.
, arrived at the remote cemetery just around eight o'clock.
But before Fisher could go out, there was a knock on the door of his rental house.
Martha was already used to this. Even if royal soldiers came outside to look for Fisher, she wouldn't be surprised. Who doesn't know that Fisher Benavidez is a famous figure in Saint-Nali?
?
Oh, except for those ladies from Saint-Nali, otherwise he wouldn't be married until now.
"Here he is, who is he?"
Ms. Martha pushed the door open, and there was actually a royal soldier standing at the door wearing a white uniform and a tall hat with a light gold three-ring heraldry logo.
Looking at Mrs. Martha who opened the door, the soldier saluted respectfully and said,
"Hello, is Mr. Fisher Benavidez at home? Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth invites..."
What? Her Royal Highness the Princess?
Ms. Martha opened her mouth and seemed to understand something. After being stunned for a second or two, she pretended to be calm and raised her reading glasses and nodded.
"Oh, he's here. I'll go upstairs and ask him right away."
Oh my God, why didn’t Fisher tell me that he was in contact with the eldest princess?
After all, this was the first time that Elizabeth sent someone to Fisher's rental house to call him so directly. Before, it was either a letter or a chance encounter somewhere. Anyway, it was extremely tactful.
Upon hearing the message from the eldest princess, Ms. Martha hurriedly ran upstairs tremblingly and called Fisher inside to come out.
Jasmine was still in the room. Fisher responded and changed his clothes. He told Jasmine not to expose herself before going downstairs.
I don't know what Elizabeth is asking me to do now, but I just want to tell Elizabeth about Anna, but I don't know if I will be late because of Elizabeth's invitation.
Anna's appointment was for eight o'clock, and it was just after seven o'clock now. If we chat faster, we should be able to make it in time.
There was a special carriage behind the soldiers, but Elizabeth was not on the carriage. She seemed to be waiting for him somewhere.
After Fisher got into the car with his cane, the carriage started slowly and headed in the other direction of the street.
After sitting for about ten minutes, Fisher's carriage arrived at the entrance of a quiet cafe called "Aroma Cafe".
Fisher had visited this store many times before because the owner of this store, Si Tuna, was a classmate of Fisher's at the Royal Academy.
After graduation, the coffee-loving lady saved some money to start a business and opened a high-end coffee shop in the city. She specialized in selling high-end coffee products to young ladies who loved coffee. It was deeply loved by some coffee lovers and ladies.
, the environment here is also very good. Compared with the decoration of other stores, it is obvious that a lot of thought has been put into it.
It should be said, but you can see that his business acumen is much better than that of Trundle. That idiot’s net worth is many times greater than that of Si Tuna. The cafe opened by Si Tuna is booming, and Trundle’s investment
If Fisher hadn't rented the stables, they would have been destroyed.
When Fisher arrived, the door of the cafe was closed, and a "Closed Today" sign was hung outside.
But there were many royal waiters standing at the door. Seeing Fisher's arrival, they gave Fisher a slight salute and gently opened the door of the coffee shop, filled with classical melodious music and exquisite environment.
Three ladies were sitting at the round table by the window. One of them, with her back to the front door, was wearing an elegant Nali dress and her long golden hair was combed with a casual hair accessory. She was enjoying the drink at hand.
It's Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth.
There were two girls in front of her. Their expressions were a little worried. They looked at the door from time to time. After seeing Fisher approaching the coffee shop, their expressions changed slightly. They were happy but also showed a hint of anxiety. It was Isabel.
and two classmates Milika.
Fisher just took one look and understood why Elizabeth called him here today.
He walked to the table by the window, where Isabel and Milica sat together, so obviously, he could only sit next to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth looked at Fisher who was walking over. She had already reserved a place for him, so she just stretched out her hand and called out.
"Stuna, I want a glass of honey milk, no need to add extra sugar..."
At the bar, a woman wearing male waiter clothes smiled and nodded, and started making milk by herself.
When Fisher sat down, Elizabeth winked at Fisher again and said,
"Don't drink coffee at night, otherwise you won't be able to sleep."
The two girls saw Fisher sitting next to Elizabeth and said hello to him. Then they seemed to want to say something, but they still glanced at Her Highness Elizabeth sitting next to him first, waiting for her to speak first.
Elizabeth didn’t do any ink either and said with a smile,
"Isabel and Milika said that after returning to school during the holidays, their roommate disappeared. The school official also reported that she was a demi-human who sneaked in... That classmate's name is Jasmine, right? Isabel and the others are very worried about that Jasmine.
I heard that you also resigned, so I wanted to ask about what happened that night."
"Yes...we live with Jasmine every day, how could she be a demi-human? She is clearly a human, and she is very delicate. She has never been out of school. Now she is missing and meets bad people outside.
what to do?"
"Mr. Fisher was also in school that night. Do you know where Jasmine is? If you have any news about her, can you tell us? We are very worried about her..."
Milica and Isabel are indeed very good friends with Jasmine, which can be seen from the worry on their faces now.
After Isabel and Milica started asking, Elizabeth remained silent. After taking a sip of her drink, she listened quietly to their conversation without any intention of interrupting.
"Fisher, please use your milk slowly."
"Thank you."
Fisher took the milk, blew away some of the erratic heat on the milk, and told Isabel and Milica what happened at that time. However, he did not talk about the group of monsters in the healing room. He just roughly told the security guard
I talked about what happened when I came up with him.
At the end of the sentence, he shook his head and said,
"Unfortunately, I don't know where Jasmine is now. The security guard and I saw Jasmine jump out of the window and escape without a trace..."
Yes, Fisher does not intend to expose Jasmine's traces, and no one can.
If the opponent Fisher faced now was Blake, the veteran of the pioneering group, and he was determined to find Jasmine, he would have to be impeccable.
Fisher didn't want to give the Healing Room another chance to play a card. Even if Milica and Isabel were members of the church and the royal family respectively, and were Jasmine's closest friends, who could guarantee that they would not be involved in school for the sake of
How about protecting one's demi-human friend's reputation and accidentally leaking the news?
Isabel opened her mouth, pinched her fingers, looked at Fisher and said,
"Then why did you resign the next day?"
"Because I have lost confidence in the security of the University of Saint-Germain and Saint-Germain, and the accidents that happened one after another made me consider resigning to protect my own personal safety, that's it."
Milika wanted to say something more, but Elizabeth next to her suddenly stretched out her hand and stopped the two girls before she continued to speak.
"Okay, now that you have got the specific process of that night, you should be satisfied now... Fisher and the security guards have seen the real demi-human form of the classmate with their own eyes. Since she has a way to sneak into Saint-Nali University, then
Of course there are ways to protect your own safety.”
"It is necessary to worry, but it should not affect your own life too much. This is what I said before I brought you out. It is time for school now, and you should also go back to school to prepare for tomorrow's class. The magic class after that
If Fisher is not the professor, you should work harder... Go ahead, I will ask the guards to escort you back to the University of St. Louis, and at the same time ask my brother to strengthen the security of the students."
Facing the eldest princess's order, the two girls certainly could not resist.
They pursed their lips and stood up, looking at Fisher next to Elizabeth. Isabel took out a small bag from her bag and handed the bag to Fisher.
"Teacher Fisher, this is the spice that Jasmine asked us to buy before. She said she was going to give it to you...but now she is no longer in school, so we will give it to you on her behalf."
Fisher glanced at the spices in the small bag, then took it and looked at Elizabeth who was looking over.
Her expression was smiling, but the temperature dropped by one degree, but she didn't say anything and just took another sip of the drink.
"I understand, thank you."
"Well... let's say goodbye then. Goodbye, sister, Teacher Fisher."
Isabel and Milica saluted them both and then walked out of the coffee shop.
The background music was changed to a softer violin solo. With this background music, Elizabeth spoke first,
"That Jasmine is the one I saw in the office before? I heard from Isabel that she is the student assistant you hired?"
Fisher stood up and prepared to sit across from Elizabeth, so that he could talk about things more easily.
But just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Elizabeth. She gently grabbed Fisher's coat and refused to let him get up and leave.
When Fisher looked at her, she just blinked at Fisher and refused to let go anyway.
So Fisher could only sit back where he was, stir the honey evenly with a spoon, and then said,
"Yes, she is the best student in the class."
"Did you know she is a demi-human?"
"I have no idea."
Elizabeth looked at Fisher with her empty golden eyes, then looked away with a smile and changed the topic.
"There have been too many incidents at the University of St. Louis recently. You left the University of St. Louis again. What will happen to the magic courses there?"
"I wrote a letter to Principal Damian, he will help... I resigned to better investigate the matter of the Pink Hall and the Healing Room. I was too passive in the school."
"There are disadvantages but also advantages on the surface. The advantage is that your safety is guaranteed to a certain extent. After resigning now, once they start an in-depth investigation, they may take action against you... Do you need me to send troops to help you?"
Fisher shook his head and rejected Elizabeth's suggestion.
"It's too obvious for you to send troops, they will shrink back. Nothing will happen to me, you can trust me."
"Yes, yes... You are indeed much stronger than when you were in college, especially after you came back from the Southern Continent. Did anything happen there? Or do you exercise normally?"
As Elizabeth spoke, she looked at Fisher's body. She had touched Fisher's arm before when celebrating Gedlin's Day at the University of St. Louis, and of course she knew that he had become stronger.
This is due to the book in my arms.
"I've been exercising recently."
"No matter what, health is a good thing. If you stay in your room all the time writing articles, I will worry about your health."
Fisher did not forget to tell Elizabeth about Anna. He first asked,
"Speaking of which, have you been to the Full Moon Church on Natwon Street before?"
After hearing Fisher's words, Elizabeth nodded her chin and seemed to be thinking about it. After thinking for several seconds, she said,
"Well, I should have been there. I should have been invited to some event by the church for a while before. You know, to a large extent, I participated in the event as a representative of the royal family. Women have an affinity in this area, so I often
I am participating in place of my brother. What’s wrong, you suddenly ask about this?”
Fisher told Elizabeth about Anna's affairs and requests, and by the way, told all the information Anna revealed at that time. When it was mentioned that Black was the mastermind behind the scenes, Elizabeth suddenly raised her hand, but not to Fisher.
Well, it was directed at Si Tuna behind the bar.
After seeing this, Stuna bowed to Elizabeth clearly, and then walked out of the coffee shop. After the door of the coffee shop was closed, only the two of them were left in the whole room.
Elizabeth's expression became quite serious, and she turned to look at Fisher,
"Actually, it was not only the Nali Development Company who bet their chips on the Holy Maiden heading for overseas expansion, but also my father who had just succeeded to the throne and was eager to make a difference."
"It turns out that they made the right bet. My father wiped away the shame that had hung over Nari since Gedlin V, and the Nari Development Company grew to an unmanageable level...and Blake is now Nari.
The largest shareholder of the pioneering company.”
Elizabeth looked at the calm surface of the drink in her cup, paused for a while, then turned to look at Fisher and continued,
"Even though my father and Black have faded away, as long as they are alive, they still have incomparable influence. For your safety, I tell you this. If Black is really behind the Pink Pavilion, I hope
If you give up fighting him, he doesn't have much time left, will you listen to me?"
There was only Fisher in her golden eyes, and he was alone.
This was the first time Fisher knew that the largest shareholder of Nali Development Company was Black. Judging from the current situation, Black's staff not only had the help of supermodel props such as completing the manual, but also the help of Nali Development Company.
Behemoth as support.
Elizabeth's meaning is very obvious. To a large extent, her father, King Gedlin IX, is still a member of the pioneering group.
Before his death, neither Dexter nor Elizabeth could have disobeyed his wishes, and Elizabeth could not obviously help Fisher attack Blake unless there was public and fatal evidence.
Looking at Elizabeth, Fisher pondered for a while, then shook his head and responded,
"No, I will still take action against him. Even if Black has Nali Development Company behind him, I still can't let him do whatever he wants."
The most important thing is that if Blake had a completion manual in his hand, judging from Philon's case, he might do something even more outrageous, as evidenced by those human bugs.
Elizabeth looked at Fisher for a long time, then nodded clearly,
"I understand... Since you choose this, I will stand unswervingly behind you, but we still need definite evidence to prove that he threatens the security of the country and that he uses human bodies for experiments. Since that
Anna is willing to cooperate, so we will help her destroy the relic. Having her as a witness for guidance is the safest thing."
"If you encounter any danger, you should stop immediately. Even if Black discovers your identity, I will do my best to protect your safety."
Having said this, Elizabeth gently reached out and held the back of Fisher's hand, but she never dared to stay in that probing movement for too long. After a few seconds, she withdrew the soft and fragrant catkins and placed them on Fisher's skin.
There was a little lingering fragrance left on it.
"...Thank you."
In fact, given Elizabeth's situation, there is absolutely no need for her to help her. After all, Blake and her father both belong to the pioneering group, and she will not be the next king. It is completely unworthy to offend the giant Nari Development Company.
But Elizabeth finally chose to do this.
Hearing Fisher's words, Elizabeth smiled and shook her head and said,
"Kindo has indeed brought glory to Nali, but over the past few decades, it has gradually developed into a cancer. This is something you and I both know. Bringing down Black has caused trauma to Nali, and it will not be good for Nali or the royal family.
There are benefits to all..."
She didn't mention a word about the real reason, but the two people present knew what the real reason was, right?
After the two of them finished their serious talk, they seemed to have nothing to say anymore, as if the small talk was unnecessary. Amidst the melodious and continuous sound of violins in the cafe, the two of them sat side by side, occasionally sipping the drinks in the cups, and feeling
Smell the other person's breath.
Fisher is usually not slow in drinking alcohol or coffee. He can finish a small drink like this in two sips.
I just don’t know why, but I drank this cup of honey milk for more than ten minutes today.
It wasn't until he swallowed the last bit of milk that he let out a long breath. Amid the music, he paused for a long time before saying,
"I gotta go."
"...Um."
Elizabeth responded, her drink already empty.
Fisher put on the gentleman's hat that he took off and turned around to see Elizabeth sitting beside him quietly watching her actions in putting on the hat.
She was not wearing any makeup, her red lips were slightly pursed, and her golden eyes were looking at the person in front of her quietly.
After observing her movements for a little longer, they looked at each other like this. After a second, someone moved forward a few minutes, and that direction was exactly where the other person's lips were.
The music behind them came to an end, and the cafe suddenly became quiet, interrupting their lost haziness.
Fisher's eyes moved slightly, and he stood up; Elizabeth's body, which was leaning forward, also moved back awkwardly, straightening the hem of her skirt...
In an atmosphere of awkward ambiguity revealed by the subtlety of adults, Fisher repeated the conversation before leaving and said this:
"I gotta go."
Elizabeth's answer changed a bit,
"...remember to be careful."
"good."
The background music in the cafe started playing again, but the gentleman opened the door and left, leaving only a beautiful lady staying there, looking at the scenery outside the window.
