124. Diane

.”

The next moment Fisher's palm was tightly pinched by Elizabeth, she stood up a little unnaturally, and suddenly raised her cheek, which was originally parallel to Fisher, and the hand she held was also away from her eyes, until she was almost at the position of her lower abdomen, the sudden tension in her hand dissipated little by little, and finally let go.

If it was subconscious to raise her hand to stop Fisher from approaching her eyes at the beginning, the next action has already shown that Elizabeth did not want Fisher to touch her eyes.

And before Fisher could say something else, she had already smiled and jumped on to the next topic,

It's about the same time, I'll be back before dinner. I'll do what I promised you, and you'll stay here until I come back."

“.”

Fisher couldn't help but glance at her hollow golden eyes, as if trying to discover something.

But sadly, Fisher found nothing in her eyes, as if they were not a window to Elizabeth's mind, but a mirror reflecting desire.

There's nothing in it, or rather, it's just you staring at it.

Fisher, who had found nothing, hid his thoughtful expression, he reached out and took the clothes that Elizabeth next to him had prepared for him, and honestly agreed,

"Well, I'll wait here for you to come back, Elizabeth."

After receiving Fisher's assurance, Elizabeth smiled sweetly as if she had eaten fruit candy, and once again she walked uncontrollably towards Fisher, wishing to love him well now, but stopped halfway, for fear that she would not be able to control the upcoming activity and immediately carry out the harmonious activity of life

But that's okay, there's going to be a chance tonight.

The hand that was about to reach out finally retracted and turned into a tongue licking her lips, and she turned her head contentedly in the full set of underwear and walked out of the room.

As the Empress of Nari, of course, her residence could not be as simple as this one bedroom.

Outside this room there were several successive supporting rooms, her desk, her dressing room, and a living room with a lot of things, and there should have been many servants outside to serve her to change her clothes at this moment, but because of Fisher's arrival, she summoned almost all the servants out of the inner court, so that only the chief of the inner court named "Diane" was waiting outside.

Fisher had heard the name when she called the Golden Palace last time, and if Elizabeth trusted Diane so much, it was not difficult to explain why she knew about Elizabeth's movements last time.

But it's hard to explain why she would tell this kind of news on the phone to an unidentified "Fisher Benavides".

So, when the door was opened, Fisher put on his shirt and couldn't help but look at Diane and herself.

I saw that standing far away outside the door was a lady dressed in an elegant and simple inner court official uniform, she was plain-looking, and she had prepared the clothes that Elizabeth would change later, and when she saw Elizabeth go out, she bowed her head respectfully,

"Your Majesty, your clothes are ready, please let me change them for you. By the way, did the food you ordered earlier be delivered to the vestibule, where you were with Mr. Saihui? ”

"No need, let's send it first. By the way, I also want you to bring the granddaughter of Mr. Haytham who brought back yesterday to the inner court, and leave the rest alone. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it."

Diane smiled and agreed, and Elizabeth seemed to go to the next dressing room, and did not return after the change, and it was not long before the sound disappeared completely from the inner court, leaving everything here to Fisher.

It looks like just an ordinary court officer.

Fisher dressed up the clothes on her body, except for the inseparable handbook and the items sandwiched in it, the rest of the things were not known to Elizabeth, and she would ask when she returned.

It's not that Fisher hasn't been to the Golden Palace before, it's just that he has never been to such a deep place, not to mention that the layout here must have changed after Elizabeth came to the throne, and he also had some curiosity about the place where Elizabeth lived all these years.

Walking out of the bedroom where he had been before, the resplendent hall outside was filled with many unique furnishings of the Golden Palace, and the most attractive thing was the portrait of Elizabeth hanging in the middle of the hall.

This painting is also a traditional portrait of Elizabeth during her birthday, but it is different from what you have seen in the city of Saint-Nari before, and it is clear from the brushstrokes and painting style that it was not the work of a court painter.

However, there are not many changes in the content, and the paintings depict her wearing different standard dresses, wearing a crown on her head, holding a scepter in her hand, and holding a golden cup in the other.

But for some reason, when he saw the portrait, Fisher always felt a strange feeling, wondering if it was because the archangel Pandora he had met ten thousand years ago also had a holy grail.

Speaking of Elizabeth's eyes, just now she subconsciously controlled Fisher's upward hand to make Fisher realize that her subconscious was very resistant to other people approaching her prosthetic eye, that is, she had a protective feeling for this relic, even the Fisher she loved.

Fisher didn't know if it was Pandora's influence on Elizabeth or if she had the idea herself, but it wasn't a good sign.

A long-dead archangel, inexplicably born in her eyes, this is impossible to reassure, not to mention that Emhart has previously affirmed that there may be his own consciousness in the eyes.

Retracting his gaze at the paintings on the wall, he wandered to another room next door, Elizabeth's office.

There are a lot of documents piled up here, but most of them are copies on file. The bookshelf next to it has also been converted into an archive box, which is divided into many areas to store different documents.

Soon, Fisher also saw a medical toolbox on the table, and the toolbox had not yet been closed, revealing the remnants of magic that had been used up inside, and according to the unused magic next to it, this used magic was some kind of healing type magic used to examine the body.

When she saw this healing magic, Fisher realized that Elizabeth had not completely removed all his clothes yesterday and was not entirely rubbing oil and absorbing "Fisher energy", she probably also secretly used magic to do a full body examination of his body.

After all, before he left four and a half years ago, he had spoken to Elizabeth on the phone that he was going to die, and he didn't have time to explain to Elizabeth that he was being chased by death, for fear that Elizabeth had mistaken him for some disease or external injury.

She was too busy to ask about the line when she confronted Valentina before, but in fact, she was still worried about Fisher's health, for fear that he would repeat the story of four and a half years ago, and finally return to her side and hang up soon after.

Fisher blinked, closed the medical box, and the moment she raised her eyes, the photo of them on her desk when they were young also came into view.

“.”

Fisher was about to reach out and touch the photo, but a bell rang from outside the room, and he blinked, knowing that it was the chief of the court who had come to deliver something.

So he went out first to have a look, and the chief of the inner court couldn't find him anyway.

But the moment he pushed open the office door, the cold hairs on his body instinctively stood up, as if he had grabbed a piece of ice in his hand, trying to deprive him of all the temperature.

What's going on?

This instinct reminded him to pay careful attention to the situation outside, and so, while he was still under the protection of the secret blessing, he only opened the door a small crack and observed the situation outside.

But in the room, the court magistrate named "Diane" he had seen earlier was slowly walking into the room with a plate of food according to Elizabeth's order, and it didn't look any different, but as the other consciousnesses present moved away from here, this Diane's feeling was completely different from before.

If Diane really gave Fisher the impression that she was just a loyal squire to Elizabeth, then Diane now feels more like a monster in human skin

The direction in which Diane stood was the bedroom where Fisher was resting, and from the position of the office, only her side face and most of her back could be seen.

He saw Diane scan the room with a blank expression, and the expression on her face immediately revealed a strange feeling that Fisher could not describe and describe, and she silently put the food in her hand on the table beside her, but did not leave, but began to look at the scene in the room more carefully.

Her gaze shifted around, and Fisher, who felt her actions, began to beat faster and faster, and this strange physiological reaction made Fisher feel more and more strange, as if there was a fear that did not belong to him and wanted him to taste it.

But just when Fisher was stunned, Diane, who was looking around, looked at the place where Fisher was hiding, and the cold hairs on his body stood up again, and he clasped the door in front of him very uncomfortably.

What the hell is going on with this Diane, and why does it feel so strange and terrifying to him?

Without blinking, Diane walked slowly toward Elizabeth's bedroom after not finding anything here.

How dare the court officer enter Elizabeth's bedroom without permission like this?

Watching her back slowly disappear into the hall, apparently into the previous bedroom, Fisher's doubts intensified. So he quietly pushed open the door that was in front of him, and walked out of the office and in the direction of the bedroom, he wanted to see what that Diane was doing.

He touched the door of the bedroom, and looked into it, and saw Diane standing strangely on Elizabeth's bed, looking at the bed and wondering what she was thinking.

“.”

Fisher watched her every move, trying to get more information from her, but her posture or movements seemed to be invulnerable, leaving Fisher unable to discover anything and analyze anything.

Even the strange feeling of Diane in front of him seemed to come from his instinct out of nowhere, and rationally, Fisher only thought it was strange for Diane to break into Elizabeth's bedroom and look around as if she was looking for something.

He suddenly thought of the demons he had encountered in the Demon Dynasty who had infiltrated Nari, could it be that the inner court official in front of him was also one of the demons sent by Helaire?

"Tsk"

In the next second, Diane, who was standing in the room, suddenly snorted, as if a little emotional fluctuation was visible to the naked eye from her bottomless emotions like an ocean.

Immediately afterwards, the presiding officer of the inner court said a very strange thing,

"Have you been found by that [coward]?"

Coward?

What cowards and who are cowards?

Fisher blinked in confusion, but it looked like Diane had no intention of staying any longer.

She suddenly turned her head and let Fisher, who was hiding outside the door, turn sideways, which was a bit of a cover-up, but fortunately, the Diane in front of her couldn't detect his existence, and only took him as air.

And Diane, who turned his head, suddenly changed the feeling he felt for Fisher, and changed from the monster in human skin before to the faithful court magistrate he had seen before.

She hurried out of Elizabeth's bedroom, as if nothing had happened, she had just come over to deliver something, and had just complied with the Empress's orders.

But she didn't realize that Fisher had witnessed it all happening.

"Click."

“.”

As the door of the hall closed, the head of the inner court named Diane also disappeared here, but Fisher could not calm down for a long time.

Wrong.

I'm afraid nine out of ten is wrong.

Now he seemed to be able to correspond the situation to what he had conceived before coming here, and the situation in the Golden Palace was definitely a little more complicated than he had imagined.

A pair of conscious relics, a court official who stays by Elizabeth's side every day, is loyal on the surface but acts strangely?

He touched his chin, and before he could eat, he turned his head to look at the bedroom, and he stood up and walked into the bedroom, looking around at the furnishings as she did, and thinking about the possibility of Diane's identity and purpose.

No matter where she comes from or who she is, there are probably two possibilities from the purpose analysis.

One is for Fisher.

The possibility of this line comes from Helaire and the Demon Dynasty, who is now locked up at the bottom of the dynasty, but may still let the succubus keep an eye on the people outside, especially Fisher's movements. Now that Fisher was wrapped in a blessing, the succubus sent by Helaire couldn't see him at all, so his true reaction was revealed.

It is also possible that this person is not from the Demon Dynasty, but from other forces, and even the chaos that is eyeing the chaos is possible. Now that the chaos of life has begun to be connected with Alicia, is it possible that the rest of the sources of chaos will find some agents?

Especially now that the prophecy of the end of the world has been opened, and the cracks are burning, although Nari can't see the burning scene yet, but the weakening of reality's defense against the spirit world is real, is it possible that some strange things have run in?

The second is for Elizabeth.

If you think about it, Elizabeth has Pandora's prosthetic eye, and if Diane has a problem, her prosthetic eye cannot be discovered, and it is only possible that the source is higher than the prosthetic eye. Pandora was already a nineteenth-order angel before she died, so it was even higher than that, except for the chaos Fisher really couldn't think of any other possibilities.

No, it seems that the chaos species is also possible, don't they also want to take refuge in reality?

And the above two possibilities can be reasonable, and they can also explain Diane's behavior just now to a certain extent.

If she had come for Fisher, then she must have been looking for Fisher's traces wrapped in the secret blessing.

And if it was for Elizabeth, is it possible that she was looking for something that Elizabeth had hidden

For example, the cup that appears in the painting but never reveals its true body?

Of course, something else could be just that.

Thinking so, Fisher searched the room as carefully as Diane did.

He stood where Diane had stood, looked around in the direction he was facing, and after a moment of silence, he lowered himself to see if there was anything hidden under the bed.

It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, a wooden box hidden under the bed board instantly crashes into Fisher's eyes, making his pupils shrink slightly.

Is there really anything there?

Fisher gasped, he hadn't expected to be so lucky, and he could find what Elizabeth was hiding.

But he couldn't use his extraordinary power now, and he didn't know what kind of aura existed on this box, so he could only judge that there was no magic on it, and it looked like it was just an ordinary wooden box from the outside

Well, it looks really suspicious.

With Elizabeth's character, how can she hide things like this?

This aroused Fisher's alarm, so he hurriedly took out the wooden box with a certain weight and put it on the ground, and slowly untied the iron lock on it.

The moment the wooden box opened, it seemed as if countless holy lights escaped from it, and in an instant Fisher's eyes were blinded

However, the truth was that the wooden box had no holy light, but Fisher just glanced at it and snapped it shut with a dark face.

"Smack!"

“.”

After a moment of silence, he hesitated, as if suspecting that he had lost his eyes, and unbelievably opened the wooden box in front of him again.

And the fact is not transferred by his will, and what comes into his eyes again is the many toys of different sizes and models that he has just seen, which are used to relieve loneliness.

“.”

He silently closed the wooden box, silently pushed it back under the bed, and stood up silently, as if nothing had happened.
