16. To Elizabeth (7.5k)

In the past few days, the maids working in the huge golden palace have been offended.

Although their lives have not been easy since they were selected by Yin Lizabeth to work in the Golden Palace, this female emperor, who has always been vigorous and resolute, treats her subordinates quite harshly in both life and work, so the close attendants who are responsible for serving her have always been under great work pressure, and have never had a moment of respite.

Now that Empress Yin Lizabeth is sick and bedridden, they still dare not slack off in their work, but are a little more nervous.

The news of the Empress's illness was not known to the people of Nari, but for some reason it was not known among the New Party, the Griffons, and the ministers she had appointed, and in the past few days there had been letters from the ministers to test the Empress's present state, but they were all answered by the maid in the form of an oral statement from the bedridden Yin Lizabeth.

Maybe it's because of the handwriting and efficiency, or maybe it's because of the bloody liquidation of the members of the Witch Research Society that the whole country has never seen before since that day, and the people below have smelled the opportunity from such clues and are ready to move.

It was still snowing in Nali today, and the hot magic in the warm rooms in the Golden Palace was going on day and night, and the maids who were in charge of serving came and went in shifts, all just for the pale face of Queen Nari Yin Lizabeth, who was dressed in golden pajamas at the moment.

At this time, the two maids were sitting on the edge of her bed, reading the letters and opinions of the ministers for her, and Yin Lizabeth, who was not in good health, also replied dictately,

"Back to Rebak... Now that he has decided to remain Chancellor of the Exchequer, it is time to start reforming, proportional... Ahem, take care of it, don't offend it all... You can start with the areas I mentioned earlier..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The maids below were attentively transcribing Yin Lizabeth's words, until two more maids walked in at the door of the room, carrying two plates of hot food,

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

β€œ... Let's put it down, I don't have an appetite right now. ”

"You didn't eat yesterday, Your Majesty."

The pale-faced Yin Lizabeth held the head of the bed and gasped twice, for the past few days, she has been a little confused, since she heard the bad news about Fisher and fainted, she can only put all her little energy on work, and she doesn't even dare to sleep, because as long as she is free, the fact that Fisher left will linger like a dream demon...

Her tears were about to dry up, and she dreamed back several times at midnight as if she had dreamed that Fisher had returned, but the emptiness around her after waking up still reminded her of the cruelty of reality, and this sense of disparity made Yin Lisabeth feel quite desperate, as if she was going to drain her completely, making it difficult for her to face.

But there is such a big country in front of her, her younger brothers and sisters are still young, Yin Sabel is still overseas, once she lets it go, the country she has worked so hard to win and her ideals will all come to naught, which must not be what Fisher wants to see...

"Woo... Whining... Woo..."

She covered her face a little dizzy, she was still sobbing for some breath, and let out a little fragile whimper, but after a long time, only her hoarse voice and trembling shoulders conveyed her emotions at the moment, and all the maids present lowered their heads a little sadly, and some empathetically refused to speak again.

Heaven has endowed human beings with the ability to empathize, to have a magnificent imagination and an unparalleled ability to unite.

In the time spent with Yin Lizabeth day and night, these personal maids certainly understood what kind of existence Fisher was for this majesty, and it must be painful to lose him forever, and this is one of the few things that Yin Lizabeth cares about, how can she not despair so much?

After a long time, Yin Lizabeth's hoarse voice came from between the messy golden hair, which made the maid below show some joy,

β€œ... Give me lunch. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, please..."

Just as the maid was about to step forward, another anxious-looking maid behind her suddenly walked in quickly, attracting the attention of everyone in the room at once, and the maid who was about to serve the meal glared at the reckless fellow rather reproachfully, for fear that the empress would lose her precious appetite because of this sudden episode.

The intruder-intruding maid gasped for some weariness, and seemed to have come a long way,

"That's... Your Majesty, Councillor of the Western District... Councillor Trandel asks to see His Majesty..."

Yin Lizabeth's long golden hair fell a little, her brain, which had not replenished energy for a long time, was running jerky, and she couldn't remember who this person was for a long time, or the maid who transcribed her words next to her, Yin Lizabeth's most trusted maid opened her mouth and said,

"Your Majesty, this congressman is a member of the New Party, and he is not up to the New Party, and he is just a fun-loving gentleman... But there was one thing he had with Fisher when he was a student at the Royal Academy, and I heard that he was renting a room with Fisher at that time. ”

Yin Lizabeth's golden prosthetic eyes twitched, she smiled mockingly, and said,

"If you want to borrow Fisher's connection, you won't come sooner, so come now... What is he doing here, if he dares to borrow Fisher to make a request to me, I will screw his head off and feed it to my dogs. ”

The maid hurriedly waved her hand when she heard Yin Lizabeth's murderous words in front of her, but because she was still wheezing, the words she wanted to say instantly choked her throat and made her cough.

"Ahem, ahem! No... Your Majesty, he... He's not here to make a request... He's saying that he has news of Fisher, and he will tell you if he wants to take His Majesty to a place..."

Yin Lizabeth, who was leaning on the head of the bed, after hearing these words, her stiff joints twisted a little, making her raise her head, and the pair of bright golden eyes looked at the maid in front of her with a very oppressive feeling.

"He said... What? ”

......

......

"Drive! Drive! ”

Nali's winter is snowy, and the golden palace, which has been closed for a long time, has opened its doors for the first time today, and several golden cars pulled by white horses slowly drive out of the palace.

The signal of the empress's outing is extremely obvious, so that many of the spies sent by the ministers to keep an eye at the gate of the Golden Palace have changed their faces greatly, and they are about to report to their bosses, I believe that soon, the news of the empress's serious illness will be self-defeating, but that will have to wait until Yin Lizabeth reappears in front of the ministers.

It's just that at this time, the Trandel in front of the Golden Palace, who was wearing a heavy black trench coat, still combed his big golden back, and since Fisher left Nari, his face seemed to be much better, not as empty as in the past, because the Pink Pavilion was raided and closed, and he probably no longer had the opportunity to rescue those ill-fated ladies.

He waited at the door on a horse, and when he saw the golden carriage drawn by the white horse slowly moving out, his face immediately changed, and he pulled the horse to the side of the road as if he were flattering, and when the carriage stopped beside him, he was immediately ready to dismount respectfully and salute.

"Your Majesty..."

As a result, there was just a movement, and the curtain of the carriage did not open, only an extremely calm female voice came from it,

"Take me straight to the destination you said... If you dare to deceive, your head will fall to the ground tonight. ”

Trondel's forehead sweated, as if the empress hadn't said what kind of reward would be given if it was true, but if it was fake, it was estimated that he would be reunited with his long-departed ancestors in the evening, which made him sneer, pointing to the road in the distance, and said,

"Don't dare, Your Majesty, I really received news about Fisher. The place you want to go is not far from the city, I'll take you there... Drive! ”

With that, Trandre rode away and headed in a certain direction in the city.

The empress's chariot had rumors as early as when it came out, although it was urgent, the Golden Palace did not notify the preparations for the road closure, but when many pedestrians and horses on the road saw the golden carriage from a distance, they would immediately and automatically disperse to make way for the road, so the walk was not long, Yin Lizabeth used a little food in the car, I don't know if it was food or the news of Fisher, which is still uncertain, in short, her spirit is much better now.

"Your Majesty, here we are."

It didn't take long for the carriage to stop, and the voice of the Trondel outside came, and Yin Lizabeth also straightened her clothes and put on a black gauze hat, covering most of her somewhat sick appearance at this time.

She refused to be supported by the maid next to her, and got out of the car in a pure black fur suit, and the golden guard on her heel surrounded the place, and she turned her head to see a three-story cottage in front of her, which was the most common in the city of Nari, and perhaps this one was more special, because it was owned by an elderly lady named Martha, and the only tenant here was Fisher Benavides.

"Fisher's house... What are you doing here? ”

After Fisher had fled from Nari and Elisabeth had searched for nothing in vain, she had someone come here and take almost all of Fisher's belongings to the Golden Palace, but she found nothing, and she kept it in her bedroom to see things and people, and now, Trandel had brought her here again.

Trondel bent respectfully and looked at the Golden Knight following behind her, and forced a smile,

"Your Majesty, just follow me anyway."

Yin Lizabeth didn't speak, but the golden knight behind her stepped forward and was about to draw his sword, so frightened that Trandel sat in the snow with weak feet.

"Don't, don't... Don't kill me!

This is really it... I didn't lie to Your Majesty! ”

Seeing this, Yin Lizabeth raised her hand and asked the knight behind her to stop, she glanced at the hut in front of her, perhaps because she missed Fisher too much, she suddenly wanted to go to the place where he once lived.

"Alright, lead the way, where are you going to take me... Just go with a maid and a knight, and the rest will be on standby downstairs. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing Yin Lisabeth's permission, Trandel quickly wiped the sweat on his forehead and got up from the ground, only then did he admire Fisher, being able to deal with her in front of Yin Lizabeth for so many years, this is really not something ordinary people can do...

"Come this way, Your Majesty."

He knocked on the door, and waited a long time for it to open slowly, revealing the cautious old man inside.

It's just that since Fisher left, her dyed black hair seemed to be completely white again, looking at the battle outside the door, she was scared, but she still subconsciously saluted Yin Lizabeth, who was shrouded in black.

"Yikes... Queen... Her Majesty the Queen... How about today..."

"Lady Martha."

Yin Lizabeth returned the gift for the first time, which frightened Lady Martha a little uneasy, she was a little worried that Fisher would be found, or that they were going to do something to her... She seemed to have heard that Fisher's child was now wanted by the Golden Palace, and the news kept her awake for several nights.

Fortunately, there was Trandel next to her, and since Fisher left, he often came to the door to take care of Lady Martha, so that she did not break down.

"Lady Martha, Your Majesty wants to go to the room where Fisher stayed before, you shouldn't have put anything new in the room, right?"

"Nope! Absolutely nothing... I'm still waiting for Fisher to come back one day..."

As she spoke, Ms. Martha realized that she had said something wrong, and she quickly covered her mouth and didn't dare to say anything more, but fortunately, Yin Lizabeth still didn't say anything.

"That's good, that's good... Come with me, Your Majesty, for I am going to take you to the room before Fisher. ”

Trandel walked into the rental house first, Yin Lizabeth did not move, but the knight with the sword just now behind him went in first, and Yin Lizabeth followed and went upstairs with a maid.

Trandel opened the room first but didn't enter, the knight was about to go in to search but was stopped by Yin Lizabeth, her golden eyes glanced up and down Trandel, and then walked into the room where Fisher lived before.

The furnishings have not changed at all, and the attentive Madame Martha has retained the appearance of Fisher's former residence, and the austere interior is the same as Fisher's character, he has never spent too much on his life, and the most valuable things in the whole room are the magic materials that have been placed by the windowsill and the books on the bookcase.

Yin Lizabeth swept every inch of the small room in a daze, until her eyes fell on the end of the room, on the desk he usually used to work and do research in front of the window, and she could even think of how he wrote here.

If it's summer, the window in front of him must be open, and he likes to breathe in while studying, especially listening to the traffic outside and the sound of people talking. Of course, it is best when it rains, and he also likes the freshness after the rain and listens to the raindrops beating the bricks. If it was winter, he would close the window, and occasionally write some words on the white mist on the window, so that he could see the snow and lights of thousands of homes outside...

Because, these are the habits that Yin Lizabeth kept in mind when he was still by his side, he would use a cigarette when he was thinking and researching in distress, but this habit was not around him, because every time he saw his movements, he would cough lightly, and he would stop with interest, only squeezing his palm instead.

She seemed to remember it all, as if the days before that separation were yesterday, and they had never been far away.

"Your Majesty, please take a closer look at the back of that table... The position of the eucalyptus, pull the table out a little ha..."

The voice of Trandel outside the door came again, and no one came in except for Yin Lizabeth.

Hearing this, Yin Lizabeth came to the side of the table, refused the knight behind her to help, the gold in her eyes flickered slightly, and then she pulled the heavy table where Fisher worked back some distance with one hand.

Then, as Trandle intended, she looked in the small space separating the table from the wall, but saw nothing.

Just when Elizabeth thought that Trandel was playing tricks on herself, she suddenly felt an extremely faint magic fluctuation in it...

Her brow furrowed, and she reached out to make sure again, and then she was really sure that there was a space magic with a very low number of rings behind the table.

After studying it for a while, she finally determined that it seemed to be a nested space magic.

The outer layer is a ring with a ring number, and the magic fluctuations are almost negligible spatial magic; And in the space magic, it is the real magic, and the ring of that magic is very high, but because it is hidden in the magic of outer space, the magic fluctuations are hidden.

Fisher's amazing magical talent can be glimpsed only from this extremely elaborate design, and this little trick he devised obviously easily deceived the personnel sent by Elizabeth Yin to search here, even though she sent a magician to eliminate the magic hidden in the room, only to find a strange mask relic and a map of the Kado Witch Tower.

So, what is in this magic that Fisher has hidden so deeply?

Yin Lizabeth stretched out her hand to contact the outer layer of magic, and the hidden high-ring magic transmitted fluctuations, and inside was still a high-ring space magic, which was engraved on a pen hidden in the previous space magic.

Yin Lizabeth took the pen and stepped back and sat on the bed next to her, she took a deep breath and slowly activated the magic on the pen...

"Buzz..."

To Yin Lizabeth's surprise, after the spatial magic on the pen was activated, there were no extremely precious treasures or relics hidden inside, and what appeared from it were two neatly arranged envelopes.

When Yin Lizabeth saw the envelope, her hole subconsciously shrank slightly, as if she had seen something extremely shocking.

I saw two piles of envelopes in front of me, the one on the left was made of gold stationery, and there were traces of vermilion and fire seals that had been opened on the surface.

Yin Lizabeth's fingers trembled slightly and picked up the heavy stack of envelopes, and the last letter wishing him a happy birthday was still so eye-catching, and then went down in turn,

"Happy Birthday", "Happy Spring", "Good Winter", "Good Autumn", "Happy Godring's Day"......

"Happy Birthday to You", "I Have Returned to Nari Safely", "All Right", "Party Invitation", "Tea Party Invitation"......

"Happy Birthday, Fisher", "I have been appointed by my father and am leaving Nari in the near future, I want to see you again, will I give me one last chance to explain?" ”......

"Fisher, don't ignore me", "I'm waiting for you in the academy library, you must come", "Listen to me, Fisher, please"......

"Happy birthday, Fisher!" "I heard that there is a machinery exhibition on the weekend, how about we go together?" "I bought two clothes, one is floral and the other is pure white, which do you think is better?" "Congratulations, Griffon Champion! I've been counting the promises I made to you~", "The official invitation to your eighteenth birthday"......

"Hello, I'm Yin Lisabeth Godlin from the Military Academy, I have some academic things I want to communicate with you, please reply when I receive it", "Regarding the borrowing of cards in the library, I have the permission given by the principal alone, if you don't mind, please feel free to use it", "I heard that you are interested in magic, it just so happens that I have a tea party with Haytham the Dean of Magic on the weekend, if you don't mind, you can come and drink tea", "Sorry, I only know now that last week was your birthday, I hope you don't mind my belated blessings"......

Yin Lizabeth stared blankly at the well-preserved golden envelopes, from their first acquaintance to the present, every letter he sent to Fisher was here, in the magic he stored in the hidden place of the room, no one could find it, and it was all the things on this letter that made everything they once loved each other proven.

In addition to this pile of golden envelopes, there was another pile of white envelopes that were relatively simple, and Yin Lizabeth's eyes turned pink a little bit, and she couldn't wait to pick up those letters, because she recognized at a glance that those white letters were used by Fisher.

But the letters he sent to himself were all stored in the Golden Palace by himself, and these letters here were...

"To Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, I am very surprised to receive your letter, I am aware of the academic issues you mentioned, and I have read your original questions, therefore..."

The latter word was misspelled, and Fisher seemed to find out later when he checked it, so he scrapped everything that followed.

This is a reply to the letter I wrote at the beginning when I wanted to know him, and the academic questions in it were a disguise, but Fisher really went to check the information of the Military Academy and replied seriously.

When Elizabeth received the reply, it was an extremely perfect, very carefully worded letter, and it was impossible to find fault with it, but here, Elizabeth Yin saw several "waste letters".

"To Lisabeth Yin, I have received the permission card you sent me, thank you very much for your kindness. I hope to see you in the library this weekend..."

There was no typo this time, but Xu was too straightforward and embarrassed for the big boy to think "I hope to see Yin Lisabeth in the library", so the letter was scrapped again...

Well, the letter I received didn't have this sentence, it turned out that he wanted to see him at the time... It's a pity, if he had written like that at the time, they would have been together for months, right?

"Dear Elizabeth Yin, I think a white dress looks better. From an aesthetic point of view, a floral dress is more colorful, but you are already beautiful enough in your own right that you no longer need the complement of the clothes to stand out. The plain white color of clothing is very appropriate, and from a historical point of view, Kadu has admired the black of asceticism..."

This letter is too serious, and it is clear that the relationship between love has been confirmed, and then it is so rigorous, is it incomprehensible? Fisher was apparently aware of the problem, so he scrapped the letter again, and when Elizabeth received it again, his answer turned out to be just right, saying,

"I'm sorry, because of your beauty that makes me feel like you're perfect no matter what you're wearing. If you have to compare which one is better, please wear it to school next week and let me see it for myself. ”

Yin Lisabeth pinched the letter that Fisher revised and finally confirmed to send, her nose was sour for a while, and she couldn't help but lower her head.

The knight outside the door retreated downstairs very unnaturally, leaving only the maid who was already quietly guarding the door, and Trandel outside the door did not know what was going on inside, but faintly heard a choked voice.

The letters that followed were not many, for they were separated after his eighteenth birthday, and Fisher did not revise them as he had done in the past, but sent them carefully until they were perfect.

But even so, there are still a few such nonsense letters, and not long ago, just half a year ago,

"To Elizabeth Yin, I have received your birthday wishes, thank you for your letter. I'm sorry I don't know if you're happy or unhappy if I don't call you 'Your Highness' anymore, but anyway, it's been a long time since I've called you by that name, and I'll feel like we're seeing you again after a long absence. ”

】

"Since we separated, I went to Schwali, Kado, and recently to the Southern Continent, and I have experienced a lot of things, and I have grown and changed a little, and I have a little new perspective on some things. Especially, for my departure in the past, I suddenly feel now that my departure was so naΓ―ve and immature, if I could..."

Written here, it is another large piece of alteration.

Even at the age of twenty-eight, even if he has been separated for a long time, he still seems to be hesitating as much as himself...

This very close letter was not sent in the end, and the letter sent to Yin Lizabeth was still as polite and lifeless as after they separated...

It's just that, at the end of this letter, which was not sent to the end, and a large part of the content was smeared by hesitation, only the end of it was not smeared by Fisher, it was only written,

"Anyway, anyway, let's see each other again."

The paper was crumpled little by little, looking at the handwriting, Yin Lizabeth didn't know until now that half a year ago, before she fell into such an earth-shattering conspiracy, they had a moment of such proximity, with such beautiful possibilities...

Can... Right now...

"Trandel... Who is it, who told you the location of these letters..."

"That..."

The maid at the door saw Yin Lizabeth asking questions outside, and she finally got out of the way and let Trandel outside the door walk out in a curt.

"It's Fisher."

Yin Lizabeth turned her head in a daze and muttered in disbelief,

"You... What did you say? ”

"I... I'm not kidding! It's a message from him, this guy hides his letter with you so deeply, besides him, the ghost knows that there is a love record between him and you here... No... I mean, Your Majesty, that's what Fisher asked me to do. ”

"He's alive! Where is he? Why... Why don't you come and see me? After he had a conflict with the Witch Institute that night..."

"I don't know, he didn't say it, I don't know what happened to him before..."

In the room, Yin Lizabeth's golden eyes looked at Trandel who raised her hand in surrender outside the door, and after making sure that he was not lying, she sat back on the bed, stunned for a long time without saying a word.

"But, Your Majesty... It is not for nothing that he asked me to show you these letters. He now seems to have certain difficulties that need to be solved that are not something you can help with. ”

"He just said that he didn't forget his promise to you, that he would come back to Nari one day..."

Yin Lisabeth raised her head a little bit, and in the panic and uneasiness that had lasted for a long time and could not be dissipated all day long, through the mouth of Trandle, she seemed to have finally waited for the response of the person she had been thinking about day and night.

Fisher, as in the last sentence of the previous unsent letter, said to himself sincerely,

"Anyway, anyway, let's see each other again."
