Facing the tough-minded Rafael in front of her, Jasmine couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. She was forced by her words to keep retreating until she could no longer retreat and couldn't go any further.
In fact, neither Jasmine nor Rafael wanted to start an open conflict. They were comrades and sisters who had been fighting together for four years. The mutual support of each other day and night was not something Fisher could easily shake.
The long-term companionship has allowed them to have a deep understanding of each other's personalities, and they will not say too hurtful words, leaving each other with room to breathe. Seeing Rafael showing unprecedented toughness
, Jasmine had nothing more to say.
And more importantly, Jasmine really has no better reason to compete for Fisher.
She has nothing. A simple "I don't want to give up" can't do anything. It has no other use except adding conflict.
Compared with Rafael, her relationship with Teacher Fisher is like a blank sheet of paper, which seems so unjust and unsound.
Seeing Jasmine being so beaten that she could no longer fight, Rafael's face did not show any joy of victory. She seemed to feel that what she said was too much, but there was no room for regret.
She was silent for a moment, her tone softened slightly, and she said to Jasmine,
"Sorry, Jasmine... Let's just do this for today. Let's calm down for a while, and then we'll talk about this matter. This matter is too sudden, and I haven't prepared accordingly..."
"I know, Rafael...just take a good rest, and we'll talk about other things when you're done."
Jasmine took a step back and responded to Rafael with gleaming eyes.
Rafael looked gratefully at Jasmine who had left some space not far away, then looked at Fisher beside her, and said softly and calmly to him,
"Fisher, come with me."
Then, Rafael turned his head first and walked into the depths of the royal court.
Watching her back disappear little by little into the depths of the corridor, Fisher finally recovered a little from the silence.
He had remained silent most of the time just now. It wasn't that he didn't want to operate and wanted to watch the friction between Rafael and Jasmine due to his own fault, but that he simply had no room to operate.
In terms of objective conditions, first of all, the incident happened suddenly, and he crashed into an unprepared person in a way that was close to out of control. He was given too little reaction time, and the situation was too complicated and terrifying. Even Fisher was stunned.
For half a day.
You must know that although he is a mythical person, he cannot use a higher level than theirs to deal with emotional conflicts, or he cannot use it directly.
Well, I would like to thank the great Sir Book again. Thanks to his defection, Fisher will thank him well later.
Secondly, he just returned from the past to the present, and there was a gap of four and a half years. A lot of things happened during this period. He had been separated from the two ladies for a long time, and he was not clear about the bond and relationship between them. He had not yet
After figuring out the changes that have taken place in Longting over the years and the conditions of Shura Field, I wonder why Jasmine suddenly came here...
No matter how you respond, there may be omissions. It is better not to speak for the time being. He still understands that the more you speak, the more mistakes you make.
But from the exchange between Rafael and Jasmine just now, Fisher still had a general understanding of the relationship between Rafael and Jasmine.
Their relationship is very deep and their bond is very good.
Thanks to the fact that they couldn't bear to hurt each other's feelings, they did not further intensify the conflict between them and were temporarily separated. Of course, this does not mean that the matter is over, at least Fisher believes that even if they
If we don’t settle each other’s issues, we must also settle ourselves.
Fisher would rather ladies liquidate themselves, because he knows that these are the consequences of his unrestrained demands and deserve such punishment.
Needless to say, Fisher is relatively self-aware in this regard.
Thinking about this, Fisher turned his head to look at Jasmine, and saw her forcing a smile. Apparently she had not recovered from the aftermath of the battle just now, and she said to Fisher,
"Mr. Fisher, you go first, I...it's okay. Rafael should also have something to tell you..."
"Okay, Jasmine."
Fisher nodded, then took a deep breath and walked towards the corridor where Rafael walked in. He also disappeared into the darkness under the gaze of the whaleman behind him.
He walked through the corridor and soon arrived at the palace deep in the royal court.
The door was open to him, and in the hall that suddenly became brighter, Fisher saw the back of Rafael, who was hanging the cloak he had been holding in his hand.
Her tail was drooped down, and she looked a little tired. She heard footsteps behind her. After she paused for a moment, a low voice came,
"Close the door first."
"good."
Fisher did as he was told, and after entering the palace, he gently closed the heavy door behind him.
Looking over, Rafael was arranging the cloak on the hanger, little by little, inch by inch, trying to use his claws to smooth out any wrinkles on it. She didn't know that such an action had any meaning.
I don’t know why I do it, I just keep doing it in silence.
Fisher looked at her back and was about to move his steps forward again when he heard her voice suddenly ring out. She asked softly,
"Fischer, do you... have feelings for Jasmine that are between a man and a woman?"
What is coming will come, and there is never any way to escape it.
Fisher did not remain silent for too long, nor did he move forward. He just replied,
"...yes."
Rafael's slow movement of adjusting her cloak suddenly stopped, and the tail behind her softened as if its bones had been ripped out.
"..."
Then, she lowered her head and her claws, which were supposed to smooth out the wrinkles, tightened the cloak little by little, making it rippled.
Her body trembled, and soon, even her voice began to tremble,
"Your feelings for me...are also between men and women, right?"
"...right."
But the moment he heard this, Rafael suddenly turned his head.
Only then did Fisher realize that her majesty and calmness in front of Jasmine just now had been completely shattered. In other words, in front of Fisher, she had always been the same little dragon from several years ago.
She gritted her teeth, and her eyes turned into dangerous ones, but it was not a threat when hunting, because the area around her eyes was already red, and the hot tears had already started in the cage of her eyes.
They spun around, but she kept holding on and didn't let them fall...
Perhaps she already had such sentiments when she confronted Jasmine just now, but she handled the matter as properly as possible, without losing anyone's face, and did not want Fisher to be trapped in embarrassment and decision-making, so she just
And interrupted Fisher again and again.
She didn't want words to come out of her mouth that were biased toward either side. If they were directed toward Jasmine, she would hurt herself. If they were directed toward herself, she would be hurt by Jasmine. If they were directed toward her, he would face harsh criticism from both herself and Jasmine.
But in private, she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Fisher, besides us, how many other women do you have close relationships with?!
"
Rafael sobbed, and the scorching steam from her body burst out little by little. She threw the cloak behind her to the ground, walked towards Fisher, looked straight at him, and asked him,
"That Elizabeth Yin, that witch Renee, Jasmine, I... what else?! How many other relationships do you have like this that I don't know about?"
Fisher did not step back, and watched as Rafael approached him with tears in his eyes, using a broken voice to reveal all the inner words he had just hidden,
"Are you blaming me? Fisher, are you blaming me for not looking for you for so long, blaming me for being incompetent, blaming me for not having the ability to openly tell everyone about your existence? So you think I
Do I have no love for you, no responsibility for you, and no care for you?"
"I don't, Rafael. I know your feelings for me. I have known and confirmed them since a long time ago..."
"Then you think that I am an emotionless beast, a lowly draconian demi-human, a slave you bought, a low-class race that is not worthy of your noble human race? So you put my feelings for you,
I regard my love for you as rubbish, and my efforts and my longing for you as waste? Isn't even coming back to look for me a kind of superior charity and mercy to you? "
"I have never regarded you as a lowly race or slave. I have always regarded you as a soul like mine, not as a tangible race..."
Rafael cried more and more, and her claws climbed up Fisher's body. The trembling meridians and bones all showed her shock and sadness, but even so, she did not treat the man who was being
She cruelly threw the cloak to the ground and treated Fisher like this.
In fact, Fisher could only feel her gentle touch that was almost pleading and questioning, and her voice came next,
"So, this is your punishment for me, right? I owe you one more punishment, and this is how you get it back, right, Fisher?"
I still remember that when they separated at the port, the letter Fisher left behind mentioned that Rafael owed him a punishment in that game. But it was just a joke after all, and he never felt that
Rafael owed him something, and of course he would not take that punishment seriously.
But Rafael remembered everything, even every word in the letter. It is conceivable that even though the time together was short, those memories had already been deeply engraved into Rafael's soul.
At this moment, with her sobbing expression, because she was close to Fisher, her scales fell down again and became particularly supple.
But this symbolizes the perfect love, but it makes Rafael feel particularly sad at this moment.
"That's why you want to punish me by making me say those words to Jasmine, who I have been with for so long and who has helped me so much. You made me lose my position in the face of the upcoming war, made me not know what to do, made me
I'm just as helpless as I was then...is that right, Fisher?"
"I want to take you to see my mother, let her know you, accept you, and then starting from her, let my people and the whole world accept our union... But what should I do, tell her directly
With your identity and character, can she accept you? Or, use your powerful power, just like humans use artillery fire to beat us, to force me, my mother and my people to accept you? "
"I want my sister to witness my love and let her feel my joy. What do you want me to do? Let me accept other women and share you with peace of mind? I can't bear to hurt Jasmine, that Renee is with you
I was so occupied in my heart that even Yin Lisabai and her Nali beat me black and blue and I didn’t dare to go north..."
"You were originally the prince who was beloved by the noble human queen. You were such a noble and outstanding person, a gem that is famous in the human world. As for me, I am the daughter of a patriarch of an indigenous Asian tribe in the southern continent, a dragon who accidentally became a slave.
A defeated queen who was beaten by humans and traitors and was unable to fight back..."
"I have worked hard for so long just to be worthy of you, but now it seems that I am not worthy of you no matter what I do. No matter what you want me to do, whether it is waiting or working hard, it will not help. What do you want me to do?
?”
"Fisher..."
"Fisher..."
At the end of her words, those tears that were only shown to Fisher still couldn't help but burst out of her eyes, leaving an obvious line of steam on her beautiful face.
She got closer to Fisher little by little, like a hug, but she seemed to be worried and afraid to move forward. The feeling that she couldn't get closer anyway made her feel sad, and the so-called other ladies and Jasmine were just
This is just a symptom of this feeling.
Her career was completely stagnant. She didn't know that there were demons on the human side to help her. She just felt that she was not strong enough and that she didn't work hard enough. She never gave up even if she was beaten to a bloody head and completely defeated, but she would still be there in the bottom of her heart.
Doubtful and anxious.
Could it be said that just having skin-to-skin contact can mean everything, can it mean that you have walked into his heart and walked to his side?
If that were the case, Rafael would not have been separated from Fisher long ago, but would have followed him back to Saint-Nali.
What she wanted was equality, to stand by his side without any scruples, but now she was getting further and further away from this goal, to the point where she was so unequal that she didn't even dare to express her exclusive desire to Fisher.
How could she be able to compete with Yin Lisabai, that haze that shrouded the Southern Continent like a devil.
She cried helplessly, and her continuous questioning was ultimately just confusion and unwillingness in her heart, and even the courage to hug Fisher tightly could not be ignited.
While Rafael was sobbing, Fisher suddenly felt her mouth suddenly open and bite him on the shoulder.
The draconic fangs penetrated his clothes fiercely, preparing to pierce into Fisher's skin and splash blood.
But because of the gap in rank, even if she tried her best, she could only leave a row of inconspicuous tooth marks.
I don’t know if I want to use this kind of pain to drive Fisher away and make him understand the huge gap between the barbarism of the dragon race Rafael and the noble human civilization.
But like that, the tearing bite didn't hurt Fisher's flesh at all, the pain was in the heart.
In silence, Fisher hugged Rafael little by little, who was keeping a little distance from him, and pulled her closer to him little by little, letting her bite further until she was completely tight with him.
Knead them together.
"Woo..."
"I am entirely responsible for what happened to Jasmine and other women."
At this moment, his blame finally came to an end.
Maybe Heller is right. The added "reproduction points" are not just for biological reproduction. More importantly, it ignites his unrestrained possession of others. Only by possessing them can he obtain a moment of satisfaction.
, and this is why Fisher has never been able to solve his desires on his own.
It is not the desire of the body, but the desire of the soul.
When he didn't meet other ladies, his body was normal and he never had any unusual reactions, which already shows this.
Therefore, in the past, Fisher often found ways to blame others, and if it weren't for it... so on and so forth.
But now, facing Rafael who was in pain in front of him, he only felt that it was entirely his fault.
Even though there are various reasons, in the end it was his inability to control greed that led to such a mistake, and he must admit it.
Therefore, even if Emhart did not tell himself in advance, even if he suddenly suffered from such a situation, even if Rafael felt the pain and he felt deep guilt, he must admit it and bear the consequences.
.
"I feel deeply sorry for this. But what you said is wrong. I have never blamed you, I have never regarded you as inferior, and I have never wanted to punish you. No matter you are the queen of Longting or
Back then, Xiaolong, I always looked at you as an equal, and this has never changed from the beginning to the end, and it is the same now."
"Rafael, maybe you don't know why I went to the Southern Continent in the first place and why I found you instead of someone else. After all, people like me have never been interested in slaves. In order to find you, I
After crossing the entire southern continent and coming to the south, I finally found your clue from a man named 'Onn', and he came from the city of Philon."
Rafael's movements of biting Fisher's skin softened little by little with his embrace. Perhaps even though she knew that Fisher was not hurt, her long tongue could not help but lick her left
The area where the teeth marks made him feel a little itchy.
Fisher's eyes became more and more solemn, and after much hesitation, he still told everything about his encounter with Rafael.
"I saw a prophecy that confirmed the impending destruction of the world."
"Destruction...prophecy?"
"Ah, 'The red dragon queen rises first and burns everything human with anger'..."
He read the prophecy recorded above, and when he heard the "Red Dragon Queen" at the head, Rafael couldn't help but was stunned.
Indeed, the red dragon race is very rare, no wonder Fisher traveled thousands of miles to find him.
Rafael did not regard this prophecy as something Fischer used to make up to escape danger. First of all, Fischer was not such a person. She understood him, otherwise he would not have asked so many fatal questions just now.
To say it so bluntly made Rafael so angry that he collapsed.
Secondly, for some reason, when hearing this epic prophecy, Rafael always felt that something strange was resonating in his heart, as if the whole world was listening to it and could not bear to interrupt.
That way.
It was so mysterious that Rafael couldn't help but feel shocked, and even the horns on his head became extraordinarily bright.
"As you know, I learned about this prophecy of annihilation and started exploring it alone, and you were the first annihilator I found. Rafael, you think that when I found you,
What’s the best way to handle it?”
"...kill me."
"Ah, that's true..."
Fisher hugged Rafael tightly in front of him, then closed his eyes and said with a wry smile,
"I did have murderous intentions towards you, and wanted to suppress the flames of destruction before it arose. But in the end, I couldn't do this. It shouldn't be said to be compassion, it should be said to be love, and I finally gave up.
Even if you kill me, I don’t want to keep you by my side. As I wrote in my letter, your future lies in the wilderness of the southern continent, not in Saint-Nali.
"I wanted you to be free, and I wanted you to take back what was taken away by humans, but I never thought that you were a burden, or that you were a lowly subhuman race. It was just because I was not capable enough at the time, because I had the burden of
Burden and concern, so I have many worries...
"Maybe Jasmine is right. We can't reveal each other's names due to various practical reasons. I'm because of Saint Nali, because of Elizabeth Yin, you because of Long Ting, because of your compatriots... But now it's different.
, I am now a fugitive from Saint-Nali, of course I can tell anyone about my relationship with you, I can assume and be responsible for you..."
Rafael hid in Fisher's arms, but heard her suddenly ask,
"At that time, when you left Elizabeth Yin and fled from Saint-Nali... was it a little bit... even a little bit... because of me?"
"Yes, although it feels uncomfortable to leave my hometown, I have finally gained a little freedom. One day I will go back, and I will go back with integrity."
"...Go back and become Yin Lisabai's prince?"
I don’t know if it’s because “enemies are extremely jealous when they meet”, but Rafael has a strong opinion of Yin Lisabai, and he is even more aggressive than Jasmine.
The same is true for Jasmine, and her hatred for Elizabeth Yin is no less than that of Rafael.
"No, it's just that by then, or now, I can advertise your existence widely."
"..."
Rafael sniffed, and there was still the afterglow of crying in the corners of her eyes, but fortunately, after Fisher's words just now, she could at least be sure that Fisher's feelings for her were the result of soul contact.
Her partner could detect it, so that she could eliminate the uncertainty in her heart, so at this time, her words became a little lighter.
But this does not mean that she has forgiven Fisher. From this moment on, her words can be read clearly.
She also had to settle accounts with Fisher and other ladies, and Fisher couldn't escape.
"...I want to take you to see my mother."
But before that, Rafael spoke again.
"you sure?"
"Um..."
"good."
Now that Rafael has said it, Fisher certainly has no intention of refusing.
He didn't want to make the same mistake as Lisa Bai again.
"...This matter is not over yet. Jasmine, other women, and you have not yet settled the accounts. But now that the war with the Puppet Court is approaching, Jasmine and I must concentrate on facing it. During this period, you
...You are not allowed to do that kind of thing with Jasmine, and keep a certain distance with her."
"...What kind of thing?"
"That kind of thing."
"...good."
Rafael hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and spoke "viciously",
"...If I'm to blame, it's because you didn't kill me in the first place and let me get involved with you. Since you admit that you and I are...equal, then I won't let it go."
Fisher was a little dumbfounded, but he could only accept her opportune move to vent her anger.
"Okay, I will help you."
"Help us fight against Nali?"
"I will not participate in your war with Nali. The Western Continent's invasion of you is a despicable and unjust act, which I despise. But after all, it is my motherland. Once I show up, my responsibility as a fugitive will be even greater.
etc. I know that everyone who is related to me will be implicated, and I cannot do this."
"you mean?"
"What I mean is that this war is not only between you and Na Li, but also involves other guys, guys you can't deal with."
"Dongdongdong!"
Rafael was stunned for a moment and was about to ask something, but at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
She quickly let go of Fisher, then turned her head, covering her face that had just shed tears, which was extremely obvious, leaving only the back of the door.
Then she walked towards the cloak that she had just thrown to the ground and picked it up. As she moved away from Fisher a little bit, the layers of scales on her body that had fallen down immediately stood up.
The tail behind her twisted slightly, becoming as energetic as a steam engine adding coal, and then she opened her mouth to the door.
"Come in!"
Fisher straightened his clothes and covered up the parts bitten by Rafael's dragon teeth.
"Kacha!"
The door was pushed open, revealing a panting yellow-scaled dragon in a beige Longting work robe. She wore a pair of glasses that looked to be made of Nali craftsmanship, and she looked intellectually mature.
Fisher was quite familiar with the visitor, but who could it be if it wasn't Mill, who had been away for a long time?
"Mir."
"Sir Fisher, you are indeed here. I just heard Fahir and Kehir saying that you were here, and you were talking to Miss Jasmine..."
Seeing Fisher in the house, Mill's face was not surprised, but he seemed hesitant to speak and forced a smile.
Fertility of the dragon race seems to have no impact on women at all, and it is not as painful as human childbirth. This is a biological guarantee for the dragon race to have difficulty in mating but have a huge number of children.
"Let's get down to business, Myr."
Seeing Mir's hesitant expression, Rafael put the fragmented feeling back together again, transformed back into the majestic Dragon Queen, and gave her such an order.
"Ah, oh... Sir Rafael, there is an urgent report."
"Report? Is it from the Nanzhi Mountains? Is there something going on in the puppet court? But how could you be the one to deliver the news? It shouldn't be..."
"No, Sir Rafael. It's a tip from the coast defense line, saying that a human private ship was seized by them just now."
"Private ship? Is it a craftsmanship, or was it sent by the puppet imperial court to send a message?"
"None of them, Master Raphael..."
The yellow-skinned Mir pursed her lips, and inevitably scratched the edge of her curled sleeves with her claws. She seemed unable to say anything. But the majesty of Rafael in front of her was too great, and she knew she could not delay.
Then she could only close her eyes, silently said "Sorry" in her heart, and then said decisively,
"What's coming is a ship from the human country Shivali, and it looks very luxurious. It should be the ship of the nobles in that human country!"
"Shvali...I have heard of this name."
Rafael murmured to himself, and Fisher next to him also touched his chin, analyzing what Shivali was doing at this time. Could it be that he thought of funding it because he was at odds with Nali?
The enemy of the Red Dragon Court was modeled after the four pirates that Nali was sponsoring at that time...
"No... they are not an official ship. They are a noble lady from Shivali and her two maids. There are no weapons on the ship at all. They are all gold and silver treasures... That's right...
yes..."
Mill stuttered, and his voice became quieter and quieter,
"It is said that Mr. Fisher's first wife, who has been married for four years, is coming to find her husband who has run away from home!"
Rafael's expression suddenly froze, and Fisher, who was still racking his brains for analysis next to him, was stunned for a moment, and looked in disbelief at Mil, who said everything with his eyes closed.
