18. Dragons and whales
At this time, all the idle people in the royal court had left, so the space was left to the three people who were still present.
Rafael, who opened her eyes again, let out a little bit of scorching steam, but after she took a few deep breaths, she still raised her eyes to look at Jasmine not far away, and said to Jasmine,
"Jasmine, Fisher actually came to the Dragon Court to look for me before, he shouldn't have known that you were here, otherwise he wouldn't have followed me all the way here until this happened. The surprise I tell you is actually to introduce you to him, my husband, after all, although we both knew who each other was waiting for, we never knew the exact identity of that person. But I didn't expect that you already knew him, and the person we were waiting for was the same. ”
"I know, Rafael, I didn't realize at first that the surprise you were talking about was the one I thought"
Jasmine also pursed her lips, and now that there are no outsiders arguing, the whole situation is slowly becoming clearer.
And at this moment, in the face of this sister, who met Teacher Fisher one step earlier than herself, has the reality of husband and wife, deeply cares about each other, and is still the sister with the best relationship with herself, it is reasonable that Jasmine is actually weaker.
In fact, both parties at this time have no sense of competition, after all, years of affection cannot be wiped out in one day.
Not to mention that it is still only the stage of sorting things out and contradictions, even after that, Jasmine is sure that she will not really tear her face with Rafael.
She couldn't do that, she didn't want to hurt Rafael, she didn't want to contradict her, but she didn't want to let go.
"Well, in that case. Jasmine, I now want to know how you and Fisher met, how he left Nari, how you separated from him and came to the Dragon Court, can you tell me these things? ”
"Good me. I'm that."
Compared to the bickering between Fasher and Kosher, Rafael's words were obviously more direct and to the point.
At this moment, her words were calm, as if there was no emotion at all, as majestic as the queen was listening to the reports of her subordinates.
And Jasmine didn't realize that Rafael's unconscious encroachment was constantly squeezing Jasmine's space to resist.
Yes, Rafael has always been the true master of the Dragon Court, if it really comes to an end, even if Jasmine has helped the Dragon Court with many things over the years, in the final analysis, she is just a guest of the Dragon Court from the bottom of the sea.
Personally, Rafael is Fisher's partner with whom he has a deeper connection, and he is not a student who was only a professor of Fisher before.
The two are weak, one weak and weaker.
In terms of momentum, Jasmine first had the upper hand, not to mention that Jasmine was not good at words, and even rarely appeared in public in recent years, relying on Rafael to promote the image of this priest.
This also leads to the fact that Rafael's words to Jasmine are obviously just asking and sorting out the context of the matter, but for Jasmine's feelings, it is more like the original partner is questioning the shameful history of Xiao San's hooking up with her husband.
"When I was."
It was at this moment that Fisher, who had been silent before, finally spoke, and he interrupted Jasmine's words first, saying,
"Rafael, let's talk about it, I remember it better."
Rafael and Jasmine looked at him at the same time, Rafael's turquoise eyes flashed a trace of silent complaint, while Jasmine couldn't see any specific expression, just subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if psychologically she could finally hide for a while.
Fisher had not spoken before, first because Rafael, the main master, had not expressed his attitude at all, and was obviously still in a state of confusion, and the previous words were all spoken by Farsher and Koshir to Jasmine.
Their point of view doesn't matter at all, even if they're from Rafael's point of view, because what matters is how Rafael thinks, not how they think.
Therefore, Fisher has been thinking quickly in the chaotic silence just now, in order to make up for the helplessness caused by the sudden crash.
The first thing to make sure is that you can't avoid it like you used to.
He couldn't say to Rafael, "Jasmine is actually just a student I know" in the same way he introduced Elizabeth to Renee and Renee to Aragina.
That is only a timely measure, a delay in easing the contradictions. But where can it be dragged on, if you have to face it one day, then today is that moment.
"When I left the Southern Continent and returned to St. Nari, I been."
Under Fisher's telling, he told Rafael how he met Jasmine, how he fell into Elizabeth's plot to seize power, how he fought with him to kill the pioneer Black, how Elizabeth killed Jasmine and brought him back to the Golden Palace, and the final "goodbye" agreement made by the separation.
"So, what the previous book said about you and the Empress Nari is true?"
But when Rafael listened, the first question she asked was this.
Compared with the unconscious interrogation when talking to Jasmine, Rafael's words were a little softer at this moment. But only one point, because when the "Empress Nari" was mentioned, her eyes were rather unkind.
Even Fisher didn't expect her to take a break from the topic of jasmine and go to the other side.
Looking at her turquoise eyes that flashed with strange colors, Fisher did not shy away from it, but said,
"Yes, what he said is true."
“.”
Rafael pursed her lips, her face not showing anything, but the tail behind her twisted dangerously at an angle, and she bowed her head like a predatory snake, and she asked,
"Then you rejected that Elizabeth because of Jasmine, right?"
"Yes, but not exactly."
When he heard the previous sentence, Rafael's tail stagnated slightly, but when he arrived, it became a little more vivid like clockwork.
"Elizabeth wanted to kill her, and she had killed and calculated many people, including me, for her plan to seize power. I want to save Jasmine's life, and I don't want to lose my freedom, and rejecting Elizabeth is a matter of course.
"Then Jasmine separated from me in the Southern Ocean, but before we parted, we made a promise to say goodbye. Later, I didn't know that she had come ashore again, or that she had come to the Dragon Court. ”
At the mention of Elizabeth, the shadow on Jasmine became even thicker.
Rafael shook her scales, she may have gotten a lot of answers and context from Fisher's words just now.
For example, Elizabeth's, according to Fisher before and after and in that book, Elizabeth was Fisher's first love who separated early when he was young, and it seems that there is no further text at all, after all, she was also wanted by Fisher before. But on closer analysis, if the woman had really been so resolute and ruthless, Rafael felt that Fischer would not have been able to escape from Saint-Nari.
Elizabeth must still have a nostalgia for Fisher, even now, and Rafael had never heard of the Empress having such a prince, and she was thirty-four years old this year.
As for jasmine, Rafael could smell that ambiguous smell too.
The kiss, the agreement they made, all illustrates this.
The thought of this, the possible connection of Fisher to other women, made Rafael furious, and he wanted to lift the roof.
But she didn't.
She only took a few deep breaths, finally looked at Fisher seemingly calmly, and finally asked him,
"In other words, in fact, Fisher, you and Jasmine are just a teacher-student relationship. It's just that this time I came to Longting to look for me, and I happened to meet Jasmine here, right? ”
Rafael seems to have completely ignored Fisher's description, classifying Fisher's relationship with Jasmine as "teacher and student", and forcefully defining everything.
She hasn't changed at all, but she's changed a lot.
She no longer wrote everything on her face like that, and all her emotions and all her purposes were now hidden under a pool of eyes.
Fisher is his tail mate, he is here to find himself, and he has nothing to do with Jasmine.
It's not just a confirmation of Fisher: as long as he says, "That's true," she'll be able to leave everything out of the equation as if the other women didn't exist at all; This is also a deterrent to Soft Jasmine: you are just her student, you are a partner who has been married to her, and you are only his student, so you have to put yourself in the right position.
Your name is not right, and you are not right, so get out of it as soon as possible, sister.
The shadow behind her fell like a dragon that covered the sky, oppressing Jasmine, who was already losing ground, unable to raise her head.
In the midst of her unquestionable doubts, Fisher once again entered into quick thinking.
To be sure, he couldn't have just admitted it.
Even if Jasmine today admits to hiding like this, what about the aftermath, even if he is really so brazen that everyone says "friends, students, bosses, and strangers", what about Renee?
If she said that Renee was "just a friend", if she heard her, she would be raised in minutes.
You have to know that you once promised her, but
But just as Fisher was facing Lafael, who was staring straight at him, and was racing against time to think, at this moment, to his surprise, Jasmine, who had been silently beside him, suddenly trembled her lips and said to Rafael,
"No, it's not the relationship between teachers and students, it's the love between men and women, even if I don't know what Teacher Fisher thinks, but I do think so."
Rafael looked at Jasmine, but not to be outdone when he saw that she hesitated for a moment.
It seems that not only Rafael has changed, but Jasmine as well.
Now, the contradictions that Fisher had painstakingly transferred back to them.
Rafael didn't have any special expression on his face, but just asked Jasmine,
"Love. Jasmine, did you know of my existence when you and Fisher met? ”
It's still a first-come, first-served issue, which Jasmine can't refute no matter what,
"I don't know."
"He never told you?"
"No, but. Rafael, you have never spoken to me or to Longting about Fisher. ”
Rafael froze slightly, a little dark flashed in her eyes, and even her words weakened,
"Because Long Ting can't accept him, this is something I can't decide, I"
Jasmine pursed her lips, and then opened her mouth with some hesitation,
"Will Nari be able to accept you, and Elizabeth will be able to accept you?
"Obviously, I just maintained a teacher-student relationship with Teacher Fisher and was going to be hunted down by Elizabeth, and the whole Saint Nari knew the relationship between Elizabeth and Teacher Fisher, but no one dared to say it, for fear of angering Elizabeth, how could he tell you? Was it just because Rafael was going to run the Dragon Court that he didn't want his hometown before?
"He had known Elizabeth since you knew Fisher and Rafael. If Rafael had known about Elizabeth at the time, would you have given up? If Rafael can do it, then so can I. ”
Indeed, is it true that the problem of the clan is only faced by itself?
Doesn't Fisher need to think about that?
Fisher really didn't need to think about it now, but what about when he was still in Saint-Nari?
If others knew that he was a gentleman with a close relationship with the eldest princess and had an affair with a lowly dragon race in the Southern Continent, what kind of pressure would he be under at that time?
Moreover, even if Rafael did not know Elizabeth, she knew another name during her travels: "Renee".
She remembered that the cloakroom in the carriage that Fisher had left for her had the other party's clothes, and she was disliked by such an intimate, hostess-like attitude, so she burned the woman's clothes directly
Even if she asked herself, even if she knew about the existence of Renee or Elizabeth, would she give up?
After a moment of hesitation, she turned her head and said word by word to Jasmine,
"But Jasmine, I've decided to take Fisher to my mother, just today. And if one day, I win or die in a war, I will declare his identity to my countrymen and enemies, and tell everyone that Fisher is my worthy companion. ”
"If Fisher needs a human wedding, then I will wear a human wedding dress; If he needs the testimony of the dragons, then I will be desperate to get my mother's consent, my countryman's approval."
"Because I am the queen of the dragon court, I have climbed this step since Fisher, so that neither the bones nor the crown will be destined for this outcome, and no one can stop it."
"Including you, Jasmine."
Rafael's words remained restrained and calm, not even with any hint of arrow-pulling.
But for some reason, Jasmine always felt as if she had gone back to the day when she and Rafael went into the underground ruins to meet Femabaha.
It's just that Rafael at this time is not by his side, but on the opposite side of himself.
It's the gigantic dragon that wants to breathe fire.
