41. Eerie atmosphere
It was said that he wanted Fisher to protect him, but in fact, not far from Elizabeth, he was still followed by many royal soldiers wearing white uniform uniforms. The sun was shining outside, so Elizabeth put on another hat, but it was different from the last time she had seen it.
Only the blonde hair was rendered and became as striking as gold.
Although Elizabeth's face is not clear, outsiders can still feel Elizabeth's noble and elegant temperament. Perhaps there were men who looked at her companions with jealousy and inquiry, but when they saw Fisher Benavides' face, they were speechless.
Elizabeth and Fisher were a perfect match in all respects to Saint-Nari.
Even a few years ago, the king wanted to find a husband for Elizabeth, but the eldest princess herself refused forcefully on the grounds that she was "busy with affairs", and outsiders knew at a glance that Elizabeth was waiting for Fisher.
"How do you feel about St. Nari University?"
It was clear that Elizabeth was the guest, and I don't know why Elizabeth was the one who came to ask Fisher about her sense of the school.
"The learning atmosphere is very good, and the students are very hard working and energetic."
"What a Fisher assessment... Speaking of which, on your previous birthday, you are 28 years old this year, what are your plans for the future? ”
Elizabeth turned her head to look at Fisher beside her and asked.
"What are you going to do?"
"The gentlemen of Saint-Nari have always been eager to make a mark of their own, and to do so without a desire to do so, but it seems to me that you do not have such a desire. So why not stay? Start a family and settle down here... Or is Mr. Fisher a freedom-hungry swinger who doesn't want to be tied down by family and responsibility? ”
Beneath Elizabeth's hat, her pale golden eyes were surprisingly cold, the opposite of her words that seemed to be mocking and casual inquiry.
In her gaze, Fisher smiled slightly, and was about to respond, when a middle-aged man in a Nari suit next to him came up and saluted Elizabeth,
"Your Royal Highness Elizabeth, welcome to St. Nari University, I am Gary, a member of the Council. Hello, Mr. Fisher. ”
Fisher glanced at the badge of Nari's development company on the chest of the other party's suit, and knew that this was the person from Nari's richest company now.
The Nari Development Company, which had made its fortune in maritime trade, had financed Captain Black's "Virgen Virgen" with the help of the whole enterprise when the royal family had no funds to support the development of foreign fleets, which now seems to be a very long-term decision.
In the following period, the San Nari Development Company made a lot of money in foreign exploration and aggression, and had a monopoly position in many fields such as mining resources, ship construction, and maritime trade in the southern continent.
Elizabeth glanced at the man in front of her with cold eyes, but when she stretched out her hand to lift the hat a little, those eyes became gentle and hollow again,
"No need to be polite, this time the school has also put a lot of effort into celebrating Godling's Day, and when I saw the event schedule before, it was so rich that I didn't know how to go..."
"The princess is really a false praise, Godling's Day is the most important festival for the Nari people, and of course we dare not slack off... In this way, our poetry meeting is about to begin, and the school committee has arranged special seats for Her Royal Highness Elizabeth and Mr. Fisher, please come here. ”
Elizabeth smiled softly and walked with Fisher to the event venue with Gehry in front of her.
The so-called poetry club is actually a very traditional activity of Nari, which is probably to exchange poems with each other about a certain theme, and the poems do not have a strict format at all, just feel and send them.
However, in recent years, there have been many popular styles of poetry, and it is also possible to fill in words according to the style, so that many citizens who are not good at writing can easily write poems, so as not to read "O sea, you are all water; Horses, you four-legged" such an embarrassing thing came out.
"Hey, parents, please see, our school has laid the most complete pipeline system in Nali, which is built by Nali Development Company alone, which is very different from those complex and ineffective systems in the city."
"Our restaurants have a la carte system, so we have a lot of experience in preparing food from each country."
"There are three dormitories for students, yes."
There are many activities because there are many parents and people in the community who want to know about the school, including the media and the like, and the school organizes a lot of announcements about the location of the school, and many gentlemen from the school committee are holding a glass of red wine and taking many people to visit the school.
By the time Elizabeth arrived, many of the students and professors had spontaneously begun to exchange verses in a circle, enjoying wine and food as they exchanged.
"Mr. Fisher, I'll go and make a brief opening speech, and I'll be back soon."
Elizabeth nodded to Fisher and walked to the podium in front of her, while Fisher took a glass of wine and sat in the front row. There was already a lady sitting next to her at this time, and when she saw Fisher seated, she took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Professor Fisher. When we first met, I was Lao Fang. ”
The lady looked to be in her thirties, her hair was tied in knots, she wore a pair of small glasses, and she looked very intellectual. She greeted Fisher politely, and Fisher also took the wine glass and clinked glasses with her.
"Fisher Benavides, first meeting."
"I had heard of Professor Fisher's name long before he entered the school, and when I saw it today, I really felt that you were indeed the man most worthy of the title of gentleman in Saint-Nari."
"Falsely praised, will Ms. Lao Fang create new poems in the poetry club?"
"Ah, of course, it's a shame that such a festival is not celebrated in poetry. Why did Mr. Fisher ask about this out of the blue? ”
Fisher didn't know what to think, took a sip of red wine, and said,
"I knew a kid who liked your poems so much, and I thought she'd be happy if you had new ones coming out."
Lao Fang looked at Fisher's side face and was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile,
"I will definitely try my best to create something that lives up to her expectations."
"Thank you very much."
Laufang had a good impression of Fisher, at least after this brief conversation, he felt that this man was quite attractive and worthy of deep friendship. But before meeting Fisher, her impression of Fisher was only those things about him and Elizabeth, so her evaluation of Fisher was a bit dejorative of "eating soft rice".
Interestingly, many of her works have plots that praise the love between a girl from humble background and a rich businessman, but she herself looks down on a "high-climbing" gentleman like Fisher, but she never shows it, only thinks so in her heart.
It would have been better if this gentleman had a little more gold.
Lao Fang secretly looked at Fisher's black suit, which was not custom-made, and commented on Fisher's financial situation.
"I'm back, Mr. Fisher, Ms. Lafang, hello."
Just as Lao Fang was secretly looking at Fisher, the sudden sound next to her was like a bomb, which made her hurriedly withdraw her gaze, and she turned her head to see a beautiful princess standing in front of her.
Her smile was gentle and empty, and the strange majesty made Lao Fang unconsciously stand up and salute Elizabeth,
"Her Royal Highness Elizabeth."
"Excuse me... The poetry meeting is about to start, so let's find some classmates to exchange poems with each other. ”
This was said to Fisher, but Laffang did not leave, she had been called by the school to accompany Elizabeth to the poetry party. Her duty was to say nothing, and then to praise Elizabeth after she had said something, so that the value of Elizabeth's verses would rise.
The sophistication of human feelings is like this in the Nari occasion, and many of the arrangements that seem natural and comfortable are actually carefully designed.
"Sister!"
Just as Elizabeth was looking at Lao Fang with a smile, behind her, a figure suddenly ran over and hugged the eldest princess in front of her tightly.
"Watch your manners, Isabel."
Although it was a reminder, Elizabeth still smiled and touched the head of Isabel who was holding her behind her, making her blush and getting up, looking at the two professors beside her, and saluting the two teachers,
"Hello, Professor Fisher, Professor Laufang."
"Her Highness Isabel."
This is a formal occasion, not a classroom, so treat Isabel with princess etiquette.
But apparently Fisher is not worried that Isabel will retaliate against herself for what happened in the previous class, which can only show that Isabel's strength as a royal is too small, and her sister will teach her a lesson without Fisher opening her mouth.
"By the way, sister, I also brought my roommate and Professor Fisher's friend, and we came together to exchange poems... Ay? ”
Jasmine behind Isabel walked up, and before she could say hello, Isabel had already turned her head to look at the two ladies not far away.
Fisher and Elizabeth turned their heads together, and Elizabeth's roommate Milika was too young to be ignored, but a lady with long black hair standing behind the girl still had a smile on her face, but the temperature of the smile was a little cold.
She glanced at Fisher, then at Elizabeth, who was close to him, and then at Fisher with a smile, and the strange movement was quickly noticed by the sensitive Elizabeth, who turned her head to look at Fisher.
"Ah, this friend who said to be Professor Fisher got lost in the school just now."
"Friends?"
Elizabeth looked at Renee in front of her, and her gentle smile was filled with a hollowness.
And the dark-haired lady's deep purple eyes blinked, obviously without any identity blessings, and the momentum of just standing there was not lost to Elizabeth at all.
She just nodded, glanced at Fisher, and responded,
"yes, friends."
After this answer, the venue was obviously noisy, but the atmosphere around Fisher suddenly became strange.
