Capítulo 1298: Chapter 12: Lingering Warmth (Part 2)
Emhardt wasn’t surprised at all. He curled his lips and said subconsciously,
“Of course, that’s sothing Elizabeth would do. I’m sure once Fisher left, everything his family owned ended up in the Golden Palace… Oh, that… I an, considering he’s a high-status prisoner and used to have close ties with Elizabeth… uh, and the Golden Palace, so…”
Fisher and Rafael stared blankly at Emhardt until he realized he had misspoken. He imdiately tried to backtrack, but ended up making it worse, leaving Fisher speechless.
“Splat…”
Behind him, a warm, flexible tail had sohow touched Fisher’s thigh. The encircling semi-circle had eventually shrunk so much that Fisher and Rafael completely filled it.
Next to him, Rafael glanced at Fisher and couldn’t help but ask Emhardt,
“Did the Empress of Nali, Elizabeth, value Fisher a lot before?”
“Uh… well… this… probably, I an… on a professional level.”
Emhardt cast an apologetic glance at Fisher, indicating he wouldn’t speak anymore. Then, he decided to pretend to be air and act as if he knew nothing.
Fortunately, Fisher was ntally prepared before returning from the past to the present.
Since he had debts to repay due to his greed, he had to face these issues, even if they had severe consequences.
But as the saying goes, you have to eat your als bite by bite, and conflicts must also be resolved bit by bit, and he had to do it that way.
Fisher did not deny it, just smiled a bit helplessly. He propped his knees with his hands and bent down a little to explain,
“Elizabeth used to be my college classmate and also my first love. But later on, we parted ways for so reasons. When I returned to Saint Nali from the South Continent, she did extend an olive branch to .”
“Oh, classmate, first love?”
Rafael chewed over those sowhat ambiguous words, seemingly unfazed, but the tail behind her lifted angrily, looking here and there, much like a venomous snake puffing out its chest.
Perhaps she should have guessed long ago that the relationship between Fisher and Elizabeth was not simple. Otherwise, Elizabeth wouldn’t have gone so crazy as to block every piece of information about him, making discussing Elizabeth’s enthronent in Nali a sin for a ti, which, of course, included Fisher.
Fisher was a very special and excellent human, and even after all these years, Rafael’s impression of him had not changed but rather deepened.

Long before herself and Elizabeth, she had already heard of a na, “Renie,” which made it easy to explain why the Empress, now as bright as the sun, had also had a past with him…
Rafael even uneasily suspected whether everywhere Fisher went, there was a Lady connected to him?!
The more she thought about it, the more depressed Rafael beca, and her breathing paused slightly.
But then she thought, even in the end, Fisher did not agree to Elizabeth’s plea, instead leaving Nali, and even after fleeing for so long, he still ca back to find her…
In the end, she won.
At this mont, the triumphant tail by Fisher’s side gradually softened, as if corroded by the sweet feeling, lying weakly on the ground, turning from a venomous snake to a docile kitten.
On her face, the just slightly lifted smile slowly returned to calmness.
She cleared her throat lightly, glanced at Fisher, and said, as if none of those thoughts had appeared, easy and carefree,
“It’s okay, it’s all in the past anyway. You’re… back, Fisher.”
Hmm, Miss Rafael, didn’t know if should say or not, just… it seems it’s not all in the past yet.
Emhardt blinked, thinking so, but he indeed dared not speak anymore.
“What about you, Rafael? Since I entered the South Continent, I’ve heard the na ‘New Dragon Court,’ and I thought it was your creation, but later I found out it wasn’t.”
Fisher no longer continued his topic and turned to ask about Rafael’s situation.
Upon hearing the concept, Rafael’s expression slightly darkened. She snorted coldly and said,
“Isael, that traitor of the South Continent. He sold everything, the souls, history, and future of our compatriots to Nali. On the surface, he’s calling for peace, hoping to stop the struggle. This proposition made many demi-humans who just wanted to live in peace put down their weapons and willingly beco vassals of that Fake Court. On the surface, they escaped the risk of being ‘slaves’ and sold, but in reality, we are still seen as beasts in human eyes.”
Steam leaked slowly from Rafael’s body but finally dispersed bit by bit.
She looked at her open palms and then said despondently,
“I don’t bla many of the South Continent residents who turned to their side. The most crucial reason is that we lost the war against Nali. They seed to transform into a different nation overnight. The once scattered powers beca concentrated. The already tricky magic and muskets now added a kind of machinery they developed.
