"Boom boom boom!"
Perhaps no one knows what Fisher is thinking when he sees the golden carriage below, but undoubtedly, a warning of danger approaching would likely surface in his mind.
But perhaps now is not the time to be anxious and rushed, nor is he afraid of Elizabeth, for he had already made up his mind to face her and fulfill the promise before leaving. He is merely hesitating whether he should meet her now, before Mr. Helson’s funeral.
Indeed, as Elizabeth would visit Teresa for several consecutive years, if Fisher honestly tells her, "At least everything should be resolved after Helson’s funeral," she would probably agree.
However, for some reason, when Fisher sees the white carriage below, he inexplicably feels a heart-palpitating sensation he has never felt from Elizabeth before. This feeling does not stem from the rank intensity but rather from psychology.
He always has a psychologically uncomfortable feeling, as if being unnaturally oppressed beneath the gaze of seven Angel Leaders in the Holy Land.
He turned his head to glance at Emhardt beside him, only to find he was shaking all over, with a golden glow unconsciously emerging from him, prompting Fisher to ask softly,
"What’s wrong?"
"...The relic below seems rather frightening; I dare not strike a conversation with her nor let her notice me. Fisher, why don’t we... why don’t we leave first?"
Fisher raised an eyebrow, noting that Emhardt had dared to secretly converse with Pandora’s Artificial Eye during the dangerous times at Nali Lake, yet now couldn’t even utter a sound in fear, which puzzled Fisher, seeming to glimpse more peculiarity in Elizabeth upon her return.
He fell silent for a moment and made a resolute decision, swiftly stepping towards the young girl named "Alicia" and speaking gently,
"Alicia, where is the thing Mr. Helson left with me?"
Alicia’s lips curved slightly upon hearing, she looked towards the crystal coffin where Helson lay beside, her eyes displaying an ethereal quality inappropriate for her age,
"Indeed, big brother, you don’t want that big sister to ruin grandpa’s funeral either, right?... Follow me, there’s teleportation magic here, I’ll lead big brother to retrieve what’s left by grandpa."
Holding a doll, Alicia spoke thus, and watching her petite silhouette, the sound of conversations below grew closer. The first to speak is Vileli’s husband, with the distinctive Schwali accent Nali Language,
"Your Majesty, thankful for coming all the way from Saint Nali to console us, we are overwhelmed with gratitude... Vileli isn’t feeling well today, kindly forgive her poor complexion."
"Understandable, but I heard Mr. Helson also adopted another granddaughter?"
"Don’t mention her!? She’s the one, she’s the one who caused grandpa’s death!"
"Dear, you... apologies, Your Majesty, she hasn’t been resting well these days, truly apologetic. Quickly, take Vileli back to rest."
"Your Majesty, it’s truly her! Ever since she arrived, grandpa’s health deteriorated day by day, you should know, he wouldn’t retire so early if not for her! She’s the one... sobbing, she took my grandpa away..."
"Miss, calm down, you still have a child in your belly..."
"Let go of me... sobbing, grandpa..."
Vileli’s voice gradually faded away, while her husband’s apologetic remarks arrived somewhat sluggishly, evidently understanding the future matter with Alicia, yet remained silent, merely explaining to Elizabeth,
"Apologies, Your Majesty, there’s a slight issue between them. The child indeed seems odd, but it’s harmless, Your Majesty, please come this way, I’ll have servants pour tea for you..."
"No need, there’s a question... here, did any guests come earlier?"
"Guests, what guests? This place is under protection of the guards you arranged, no one has entered at all."
"I see... let me take another look at Mr. Helson then, the ceremony is too much tomorrow, I’d like some private words with Mr. Helson, may I?"
"Of course, of course, please come this way, grandpa’s coffin is just above. After the doctors confirmed the situation, we didn’t dare move grandpa’s body, awaiting the church and Your Majesty’s people..."
Upstairs, listening, Fisher suddenly raised an eyebrow; footsteps below slowly ascended the stairway, prompting him to hastily return the book held in hand back to Mr. Helson’s desk, turning around to find Alicia standing behind him, face back to expressionless.
She pointed to a side door in the office, and Fisher followed her inside, soon discovering an unfolded Hidden Magic Portal.
The level of this magic portal was high, evidently not crafted by the young girl before him, only possibly done by Mr. Helson.
He glanced at Alicia beside him, only to see her gently extend her hand towards him; he raised his eyebrow, just about to speak, Alicia looked up slightly, saying,
"Hold hands, big brother."
"The magic has been activated; Mr. Helson’s teleportation magic is precise; there won’t be any turbulence, rest assured."
Alicia remained motionless, merely puffing her cheeks slightly after a second or two, then she added gloomily,
