Yalier was stunned for a moment after hearing Fisher's words, obviously not fully understanding the specific connotation of Fisher's astonishing words.
For the dragon race who has a special mechanism of tail mate and will only have one partner in her life, Fisher's words were so impactful that they seemed to penetrate her soul.
Fermat Bach proves that before Fisher just confessed, Yalier still had a poor imagination that Fisher actually only had an extra relationship with Jasmine. After all, there was a third party in Yalier's eyes.
Forgive me, even under the pressure of Fisher's mythical status, as a mother, she still expressed her true objections.
Who would have imagined that after just a few words, it would not only be the third party, but the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh or eighth party!
Her scales became more and more restless, and even a gentle dragon race like Yaliel was so frightened that her voice trembled,
"How much did you say?"
Fisher felt a little helpless, but in the end, he chose to be honest.
"Aunt Yaliel, you heard me right. Apart from Rafael and Jasmine, there are more women with whom I have a close relationship than I can count on my fingers."
Yalier opened her mouth slightly, as if all the time in her body had frozen at this moment due to her extreme shock.
She never expected that today her daughter would bring back a human lover who came all the way from a distant continent. This human brought her a little "human shock". Shouldn't it be called "Fisher shock"?
After a moment of silence, time began to flow from Yalier's lips first. She asked with a dry mouth,
"Does La Rafael know about this?"
"She knows something."
"What does it mean to know something? Does she know it or not?"
"She may be partially aware of the existence of other women, or she may be aware of them but never meet them."
""
Yalier stretched out her paws to take the tea cup in front of her, but her paws had already reached the wall of the cup, but she just stayed on the outside of the cup. The stalemate movement caused a little trembling, and the
The tea in the cup stirred up ripples.
She wanted to pick it up, but couldn't seem to pick it up, so she had no choice but to keep her voice hoarse and said,
"So, what you are actually telling me by telling me this is that you have to accept everyone else just like you accept Jasmine, is that right?"
"This sounds so impossible."
"Yes, I am the first level of this impossibility. I would rather Rafael suffer for a while now and endure the heartbreaking pain of losing her partner than for her to continue with you, because maybe one day in the future you will
There is a price to pay for this.”
"I have already paid the price for this, and if there are other prices in the future, I will deserve it even if it is death by a thousand cuts. But before that, I will fulfill my due responsibility."
"You have no responsibilities, Fisher. Your responsibilities will only cause her pain, distract her, worry her, and make her heart and soul burn with your every move.
There is no need to pretend to be brave enough to take responsibility.”
"Are you doubting my feelings and attitude towards Rafael?"
"How can I doubt your feelings for her, but even I feel conflicted. Mr. Fisher, if you really don't love her and despise her identity as a dragon race, you should have brought her back to Nali in the first place.
, turned into a slave you bullied at will, there is no need for you to rush back to the Southern Continent to meet her after so many years, or even come to see me; but if you really love her, why would you share your love without hesitation?
give others?"
Yalier held the tea cup, and became more and more excited as she spoke. Her speech speed gradually increased, and soon wisps of faint steam came out of her robe.
"Sometimes I feel lucky and grateful. I'm grateful that you saved her and gave her a respect that is weird in the eyes of humans. I'm grateful that you put her back so that she can help her compatriots resist the enslavement of the invaders. These things make her intoxicated.
You gave too much to Shiwei's perfection, so now you want to take some back, right?
"What's funny is that just now I was still struggling with the matter between you and Jasmine. I was optimistic that you would be able to overcome this obstacle quickly with your kindness to Rafael, and I also believed that your terrible
The ability to properly handle the conflicts between you, Jasmine, and Rafael, and preserve the relationship that they have supported each other over the years.
"Then you told me that you still have so many beauties with deep feelings, more than five fingers! Mr. Fisher, even if you are really blessed by Fima Bach in the end, it will really make all girls, all girls
Your relatives have recognized you and your relationship. But what will your life be like? I simply can’t imagine. How do you divide twenty-four hours in a day? How many hours in a month do you need to be condescending?
Notice where my daughter is?
"In other words, except for Rafael, are all the other girls you know well-behaved and cowardly? Even the Jasmine Priest I know will have conflicts with Rafael because of you. Could it be that the other girls you know are well-behaved and cowardly?
Can a girl be easier to talk to than her? But, will a girl like this make you so obsessed with her that you don’t want to let go?”
No, not only are they hard to talk to, they are all evil people.
Fisher had to think so too.
He quietly listened to Yalier scolding him, and finally said softly,
"It seems that what I did has let us all down. It's just a pity that what happened in the past and the problems we face now are not stories, it is not that perfect.
"Aunt Yaliel, I understand your dilemma, and you don't have to shy away from it. If what I did at that time was not so perfect and did not leave Rafael with regrets, then you and she would not be so conflicted now.
You may even think that it would be better if I was not so perfect for Rafael, so that you might still have reasons to let Rafael abandon me more firmly. You don’t want to think this way, but for Rafael
"El's concerns make you have to wonder whether what I am doing is fair to Rafael."
Yaliel looked at Fisher who was frank in front of her, and couldn't help but speak again,
"Yes, it would be great if you were always so perfect. Mr. Fisher, you are good in many ways, but I really can't compliment you in this aspect. Are human beings really so insatiable? One is not enough, two are not enough.
Not enough, three is not enough, four is not enough but so many? Then, how many more are you going to ask for, Mr. Fisher?"
"I have changed my mind, Aunt Yaliel"
Although this is not the first time Fisher has said this, since he came back, every time he said this, he said it from the bottom of his heart.
"But if Rafael's perfection is followed through, it's going to be a disaster for other women I know, I swear."
"Disaster? It's a disaster now, Fisher. If you really carry this relationship through to the end, they won't be a problem to you at all, and there won't be such a dispute now."
Hearing this, Fisher just looked at Yaliel in front of him, and he spoke softly again,
"Aunt Yaliel, if I really implemented this perfection, I wouldn't even come to the Southern Continent to meet Rafael. Maybe I would calm down and use that perfection from beginning to end. Make up for the regrets of the past, marry the current Queen Elizabeth, and fill the wounds in her heart. In this way, she will not kill all her relatives, and she will not become as paranoid as she is now."
"Queen Eliza?"
This name is so familiar, yet as frightening as a shadow.
She is the most terrifying enemy in the Southern Continent over the years, and Yaliel, who lives in the Red Dragon Palace, certainly knows this.
Ariel looked at the serious Fisher in front of her, and after confirming again and again that he was not joking, she seemed to realize for the first time what kind of horror was involved in the husband her daughter had found.
"she"
"Aunt Yaliel, Elisabeth Gedlin, she was my first love and the person I once loved most."
Ariel was speechless for a moment, because she quickly and keenly found the connection between him and Elizabeth from the story Fisher told earlier.
First of all, she took Jasmine to escape from Nali who was wanted. She knew that Elizabeth was the first queen in the history of Nali in the Western Continent. Of course, it was different from the tribal rules of the Dragon Tribe in which any powerful person or bloodline continuation member could be the king. She might also be able to guess that there must be a game of power and even a conspiracy hidden behind this queen who broke the rules and came to power.
But the key point is that it sounds like the Queen and the Fisher in front of her are still disconnected, and they are deeply entangled in a whirlpool of love and hate. It is difficult to say the relationship between them, but Queen Elizabeth is also there "more than the number of fingers" of number.
The fundamental reason for this situation is that she was Fisher's first love.
According to the Dragon people's point of view, first love is a lifetime.
Although humans do not have such rules, and Fisher is a leader in emotional greed among humans, it can be seen that his feelings for Elizabeth are extraordinary.
He was right. If Fisher had not left his "first love", he was so perfect, just like in the fairy tale, and an upper-class Nali gentleman like him would never have come to the Southern Continent. In this kind of place, you would never meet Rafael, who was captured as a slave at that time.
As a mother, Yalier never dared to think about such consequences.
When Yaliel learned that Rafael had been captured, when she knew that her husband had been killed by humans, and when she learned that one of her sons had died on the battlefield, that kind of heart-wrenching feeling She didn't want to experience the pain again no matter what.
Yalier's expression suddenly looked a little sad. She lowered her head and looked at the tea cup that was tightly held in her hand but not moving at all. She didn't know what she was thinking about.
She is really a very fragile woman among the dragon race. A cup like this can be easily crushed even by Raphael when he was a child, but now that she is old and old, she will not break it no matter how hard she exerts it.
Make a little change.
It seems that what is in front of me is no longer a teacup, but that ill-fated fate, a fate that cannot be defeated or escaped.
It's like a bad fate that makes you cry and curse, but it remains calm and looks at you indifferently, letting the suffering torture you.
Yalier didn't speak again, and the candlelight behind her also became quiet, refusing to emit bright light and heat.
After a long time, she asked Fisher in a low voice,
"Am I asking for too much as a mother, Fisher?"
Fisher looked at Yaliel, shook his head and said,
"I want too much, Aunt Yalier"
Yalier raised her slightly dim eyes, looked at him, looked at him and continued,
"I have tasted too many sweetness and gifts, and mistakenly thought that I deserved them. Little did I know that they all came with a price, and it was an extremely expensive price. Although I was so stupid, at least my adoptive mother left her a legacy before she passed away.
My two precious gifts are morality and responsibility.
"So I don't want to escape these problems. I can't let these costs fall on Rafael and the others. I want to do my best to ensure their safety and happiness."
"Aunt Yaliel, I am not telling you this to make you feel guilty or to excuse my crimes. I am doing this entirely because of Rafael. She had expectations, and even if she knew the truth, she still felt guilty.
I came to see you, hoping to get your blessing and approval, and I can never let her down again. As her mother, of course you have the right to know everything, and you have the right to decide whether to accept me.
"I say this just as a guarantee. I guarantee my feelings for Rafael, and I guarantee that my abilities will not let her down. Can you understand, Aunt Yaliel?"
Yaliel stared at Fisher, as if she wanted to dig out evidence of his guilt from the terrifying creature in front of her, but when she looked into his black eyes, she only felt the warmth of a soul.
ensure.
Perhaps it is this soul that fascinates Rafael?
Of course Yaliel knows that the dragon race that has grown up sees its partner as perfect, or maybe on the contrary, of course she sees those imperfections, but they are just
Her paws gradually let go of the teacup in her hand, she lowered her eyes and said,
"Last night, Rafael did not send anyone over, but took time out of his busy schedule to come to Wanhua Courtyard in person. She told me that she would bring her Shiwei partner to see me today."
""
Facing Fisher's silent gaze, Yaliel closed her eyes and continued,
"She said that the partner she misses day and night has not forgotten her just like her. Her partner came from a far away place for her and rushed back to meet her again in the stormy Longting.
"I have never met you, but at that time, through Ke Xier's words, I already knew about you and Jasmine, so I became suspicious of you. But she pretended that nothing had happened with a smile on her face.
She came to see me anxiously despite all the busy work she had to do. She said, she hopes to get my blessing and let the tradition of Longting protect the relationship between her and you.
"I am not involved in many things in Longting, but I still understand our situation very well. To be honest, under the war, being precarious is a good thing to say. She has to deal with such complicated things and face
I sit here and have never experienced a powerful enemy.
"It was just two and a half years ago that she was defeated in the war in the north. She was beaten all over and was covered in blood. When she was brought back by Jasmine on her back, her look really made me heartbroken and sad.
Over the years, I have never wanted to cause her any trouble, and I don’t want her to see my worry that she will end up like her brother.”
Yaliel almost shed tears. It was only at this moment, with her head tilted slightly because of tears, that Fisher suddenly realized that Yaliel was standing in a row when he and Rafael came in earlier.
Freshly oiled scales candle the front.
There were eleven candles, representing the dead Rafael's father and her ten brothers.
"She is so afraid of owing you the friendship from afar, worried that her failure in the Longting War will make you criticized, worried that she is not worthy of you, worried that I will not recognize you. That's why she came over in person late at night to tell you
I was cautious and excited, even hiding what happened with Jasmine yesterday
"And I agreed. Last night, I told her with a smile and asked her to bring you to see me. As a mother, I will recognize your existence. One day I will attend your wedding and give birth to a baby for you.
name
"I'm old, and besides worrying about my children and not letting them down, I can't actually do anything. But Rafael gave everything she could to you as a suitable partner.
Human being, I don't expect you to feel all the heat of her emotions. I just hope, or I beg you, not to let her down and sad.
"One day, if her war fails and her Dragon Court is destroyed, she will once again have nothing. Fisher, I beg you not to forget what she did for you last night. Don't dislike her or look down on her. Take her safely."
Leave here, go anywhere, escape to a place where you won't be bullied by other women you know who are hundreds of times stronger than her.
"This is the price of my promise, can you do it, Fisher?"
When Yalier opened her eyes again, there was only pleading in her eyes.
As Rafael's mother, how could she know nothing about the current situation? She just pretended not to know and pretended not to care because she didn't want to cause trouble to Rafael and distract her.
For this reason, she even did not hesitate to comply with Rafael's request, which she still needed to consider. That's why when Fisher and Rafael came to visit, she seemed so kind, as if she had accepted Fisher.
Same with you.
But after Rafael left, she was still uneasy and worried about Rafael's future, so she wanted to ask about the relationship between Fisher and Jasmine.
She was just helpless that she couldn't do more, but she was unwilling to be unable to help her daughter. She could only rely on words to hope to get the promise of Fisher, who had a much higher rank than her.
That is a feeling that is not limited by rank and power, and is something that cannot be obtained even after reading all the completion manuals.
Perhaps Fisher was so sure of this at this moment.
He solemnly looked at Yalier who was waiting for his answer, lowered his head slightly, and assured her,
"I promise, Aunt Yaliel."
""
Ariel looked at Fisher in front of her, looking at him deeply, but had no other words.
Until the next moment, there was an explosion outside Wanhua Court, as if something landed outside the door.
Then, in the sea of flowers outside the ancestral court, there was another burst of anxious running footsteps.
"Tap tap tap!"
Yalier was stunned for a moment, and then stood up. While wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, she picked up the teacups that Fisher and she had already drank from in front of her. She turned around and walked to a place not far away to replenish the tea, leaving only
Showing Fisher, who was sitting where he was, a somewhat old but strong back.
As the footsteps outside the door got closer, Fisher adjusted his expression, and then turned his head with a smile, just in time to see the panting Rafael rushing back anxiously from crossing a sea of flowers.
"Mother, Fisher"
"Rafael, why are you back so soon?"
She held the door with one hand, still worried that something might happen that would make her mother unhappy with Fisher, so she hurried back.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the door is still warm, just like the flowers blooming in spring.
Fisher sat relaxed and looked at her.
The mother turned her back and seemed to be pouring tea. After hearing the sound of Rafael coming back, she turned her head in surprise, smiled and asked,
"It seems like nothing happened. He came back so soon."
"Ah, what else can happen? It's all trivial, so it can be solved quickly."
"Well, you came back just in time. Fisher and I are discussing whether the first child will be a boy or a girl. It's really distressing. Right, Fisher?"
"That's true."
Yaliel smiled and looked at Rafael again, and then asked,
"What do you think, Rafael?"
"Hey?! Boys, girls, wait, what? Children?!"
"Ah, do you think it's a boy? It's the same as mine. If Rafael gives birth to a boy, he will definitely be strong and lively."
"Mother!!"
