Chapter 661: 105. Elizabeth’s Wrath (Two in One)_2
“I understand Fisher,” if he wanted to sneak to the Northern Realm from Patulshen Island, he had a thousand ways to do so, yet he chose the stupidest one. Not only did he alert the Overseas Hidden Affairs Bureau, but he also stole a ship so blatantly… You’ve been blinded by him. There were others on Patulshen Island at that time, the Phoenix Knights from Sardinia Female Country, Pirate Alagina, the exploration company.”
Elizabeth’s hollow eyes in the Golden Palace slightly lifted, and she tapped her cheek with her finger, clearly already knowing the answer, but the coldness in her voice grew due to the conclusion she reached,
“Fisher entrusted Isabella to Alagina—a girl from Sardinia Female Country pretending to be a boy. Fisher’s ability to reach Patulshen Island must also be related to her. Fisher cares for Isabella’s safety as well, entrusting her to Alagina shows their deep relationship. Don’t worry about Isabella for now, she’s safe where she is, and later I will deal with that damn woman from Female Country… Fisher’s work for the Turand Family relates to the Six Clans’ Mark, test how important this matter is to the Turand Family.”
Curion’s expression remained unchanged as he sat back on the sofa, looking towards Valentina with a slight smile,
“Miss Turand misunderstood our intentions, we are members of the special investigation team, which means our job is not just to bring the suspect back to Nali, but to thoroughly investigate Mr. Fisher Benavides’s involvement in this matter… Surely Miss Turand knows, before he left Nali, he was a lifetime senior member of the Nali Magic Association and the only personal student of Great Mage Helsen. To our Empress, his status is self-evident.”
“The Royal College, Saint Nali University, Golden Palace, Magic Association, the Nali masses, including ourselves, no one wishes him to be the suspect of kidnapping the Princess. We all look forward to clearing him of his alleged sins more than anyone, allowing him to return to his rightful reputation and normal life in his homeland. After all, he is a Nali person, everything about him is connected to Nali, does he want to live the rest of his life wandering in a foreign land, hiding his identity, forgetting his past?”
“Miss Turand must understand, his continued evasion of Nali’s pursuit does him no favors in clearing his name, even if we want to help him, it must be based on his willing cooperation… Therefore, I would like to ask Miss Turand, is the matter for which he is helping the Turand Family really that important? In this regard, the Golden Palace has already made a promise, willing to fully support Mr. Fisher Benavides in the matters he wishes to achieve for the Turand Family, as long as he will come back with us for the investigation and collection of evidence.” Google seaʀᴄh novelꜰire.net
Valentina, having spent such a long time with Fisher, of course knew that the scholar who liked to study demi-humans didn’t seem like someone who would kidnap a Princess. Moreover, the first time she met him on the little island in the Southern Ocean, it seemed she had heard from those pirates about another person traveling with him…
If that person was the missing Princess Isabella from Nali, then there might be misunderstandings and hidden truths in this matter. Valentina, who hadn’t discussed this with Fisher beforehand, suddenly hesitated. Fisher was crucial to her quest for the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree, and now the three Seals she held were closely related to him, but if, as these Nali people say, this might really be Fisher’s only chance to return to Nali normally, could she confidently make decisions for him?
Valentina was a supervisor who considered others, otherwise the few people she employed wouldn’t be so free-spirited as they usually were. There were still two Seals left, but both Seals had definite locations, even if Fisher left to return to Nali she should…
Valentina was still too young after all, having just come of age, how could she know the deep dangers hidden behind the smiles of this gentleman from Nali who seemed to be fully considering Fisher’s best interests? And Heidlin, who stood behind her, also had no decision-making power in this matter, only closing her eyes and listening to the whole process, but without a doubt, everyone present felt Valentina Turand’s hesitation.
Compared to the Frost Snow Phoenix Tree within arm’s reach, she still hesitated because of the future of Fisher Benavides, the gentleman she got along with so well.
Watching the young girl in front of her hesitate over Fisher’s innocence, Elizabeth in the Golden Palace sharply sensed something. Her golden pupils narrowed dangerously as the atmosphere throughout the Golden Palace suddenly became dangerous, as if the air itself carried the metallic tang of blood. The maids held their breath because those who usually accompanied the monarch knew the signs of the Nali Empress’s burgeoning fury well.
Just as Valentina was about to speak, a gentleman who had been leaning against the wall outside silently listening sighed softly, and then the door was abruptly opened. Everyone turned their heads toward the door, only to see a stern-faced, black-haired gentleman standing there—it was none other than Fisher Benavides, who they were pursuing.
It was Valentina who spoke in surprise, but Elizabeth’s hollow eyes in Curion’s view also brightened slightly. Perhaps it had been too long since she had seen the man she yearned for day and night, and even a sudden reunion across the miles warmed her heart. Elizabeth couldn’t help but reach forward, as if wanting to caress the face of Fisher in the illusory image, but of course, her hand met only air.
