Chapter 1716 - 136: Floating Mouth_2

"Don’t move, be good, little children who move around will be eaten."

"..."

In fact, according to normal calculations of time, because Fisher traveled back to the past and skipped four and a half years, it resulted in Elizabeth growing four and a half years older than him. She can be considered "Sister Elizabeth."

But since he had dated women much older than him, they never treated Fisher as a child, instead, Elizabeth has become his kindergarten teacher.

"Your Majesty, the car is ready."

Once the clothes were changed, Elizabeth withdrew her hands and stood before him, examining the fitted garments with keen interest. Meanwhile, at the door, Dianne’s calm voice sounded again, reminding Elizabeth of her upcoming schedule like a tool devoid of emotion.

"I know."

Elizabeth replied very flatly, but Fisher’s wrist trembled slightly, quickly looking at the tightly closed door.

"Then let’s set off, Fisher. Make sure to enjoy the upcoming time."

"Ah..."

Actually, packing the luggage didn’t require Elizabeth’s preparation; a special inner court official would help with her belongings. However, Fisher’s belongings were all personally overseen by her, meticulously folding his underwear and placing it in the side of the suitcase for easy access. She even packed the styles she preferred, and Fisher was impressed.

In all of Nali, probably only Fisher could make Elizabeth willing to do such things.

The courtyard at the entrance was as quiet as ever. As Fisher passed by, he took a few extra looks to check if "Dianne" was nearby, especially since he learned about the hidden terror possibly associated with her. Even with hidden blessings, he remained exceptionally cautious.

But fortunately, she seemed to have gone to prepare for the outing, and other maids followed Elizabeth out of the sleeping chamber, dragging her ready luggage not far behind.

"I’ve wanted to ask before, since coming here it seems quieter than your previous Western-style mansion. What happened to those dogs you used to keep? I remember you had quite a few..."

"Feeling too quiet? If you want, we can get more after returning."

"...Forget it, I’m not really into small animals. Just curious."

"The dogs I had before all died from illness; it’s a shame."

"Died from illness? All of them?"

"Yeah, it must have been some kind of canine plague. Not sure how they caught it. Only a few survived, and we burned everything they used to avoid leaving behind any disease, so they’re now outside the courtyard."

"I see..."

Quite peculiar, but Fisher knew Elizabeth wasn’t particularly fond of small animals.

She simply kept dogs because they were obedient, so she wouldn’t care much even if they all perished.

They soon boarded the carriage, sticking to the original plan to first visit the church school Fisher mentioned. After that, they would leave Saint Nali to the private royal beach for their honeymoon.

To avoid attracting attention and causing a stir, Elizabeth specially selected a low-profile cardinal carriage, even without many accompanying guards, since there were always servants at the royal beach.

It’s worth mentioning that Alicia was also brought along in the maid’s carriage behind.

Her bouts of dreaming at night had gotten worse these past few days, and Emhardt was so frightened he dared not stay with her at night. Fisher worried about leaving her in the Golden Palace, fearing something might happen, so he brought her along, while Elizabeth didn’t mind much.

As the carriage was about to leave the Golden Palace, ministers waiting at the gate for a long time presumptuously stopped the vehicle, handing several documents to the carriage where Dianne was leading at the forefront. However, the front carriage didn’t stop for it, nor did it intend to pass the documents to Elizabeth.

"Judging by the attire, the one blocking the path seems to be a cabinet minister, right? Aren’t you going to look at the documents he handed over?"

"No need, nothing at the moment compares to the upcoming honeymoon... Moreover, I roughly know the content of those letters, so there’s no need to read them."

Elizabeth maintained a smile, patiently explaining to Fisher while using a fork to pick up the prepared desserts inside the carriage, feeding them to Fisher.

"Previously, they reported to me that there might be foreign forces from the continent’s eastern side wanting to assassinate me. But I still travel without guards despite this, and most of those letters contain advice regarding this matter. As for the other letters, they are either about that ’Phoenix’ from the Northern Boundary Parasol Tree or they are related to the Red Dragon Court from the South Continent. Dianne will handle them all."

With each location Elizabeth mentioned, sweat appeared on Fisher’s forehead.

You can call it coincidence, what she referred to as "hostile forces" seemed to have a bit of a connection with him.

Especially when mentioning "Phoenix," Elizabeth’s expression carried a shadow, seemingly reminiscent of a confrontation with Valentina a week ago.

Though eating the dessert Elizabeth fed him, Fisher felt anything but sweet, only fiery hot in his mouth. Yet, he naturally shifted the topic to other matters he truly should be concerned with.
