Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1676 - 122: Palace_4

However, since he was already here, Alicia and Emhardt being present was one reason; he also needed to solve the treasure riddle, and going to the Northern Realm would mean losing that opportunity.

On another front, he truly didn’t want to disappoint Elizabeth again, nor did he want to avoid her problems anymore.

At first, he avoided the issue of her bullying a junior; then later, he avoided her massacre of kin to seize power.

Now, the problem had escalated to where Pandora’s power was manifesting in her. If he kept avoiding it, how bad would the problem need to get before he would confront it?

Thinking of this, even though Fisher was bound, he gradually calmed down.

He calmly assessed the strength of the ropes binding him while attempting to struggle and simultaneously considered where he was now.

Was he still in Chittel City?

Or...

"Dong! Dong! Dong!"

It was at this moment that several consecutive chimes suddenly rang from outside.

These chimes immediately triggered Fisher’s memories, reminding him that this seemed to be the morning time-telling bell of the Saint Nali Golden Palace—a chime used to declare the time within the Golden Palace, a symbol of communicating the daily schedule outside.

Generally speaking, the bell would ring four times a day, with the first at 7 a.m., marking the beginning of the day in the Golden Palace. The Empress should have awoken, begun breakfast, and started readying to handle political duties and affairs.

The second time was at 10 a.m., when the morning work was about done, meetings with ministers concluded, and after a brief pause, one could proceed to lunch and a midday rest.

The third time was at 2 p.m., beginning the afternoon’s tasks and activities.

The fourth time was at 5 p.m., signaling the end of afternoon work, a time to transition into dinner and evening rest.

So what time could it be now?

As Fisher pondered this, he suddenly keenly heard hurried footsteps approaching from outside the room, followed by the swift opening of a door and the sound of a breeze wafting in from outside.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and before he could react, he felt a soft body pounce on him, tightly embracing him in an embrace.

Upon him, Elizabeth’s fiery breath and sweet kisses fell continually, sending tingles through his entire body,

"Awake, Fisher? I went to work this morning, you must have missed me... It’s okay, I’m back now, mm..."

It seemed Elizabeth had just wrapped up her morning political affairs and, without delay, hastened from the forecourt back to her quarters. The chime announcing the end of morning duties wasn’t even finished when she sprinted back to the rear courtyard where she resided, instantly pouncing back onto Fisher, kissing as if to absorb energy ceaselessly.

In this moment, how Fisher wished he could be a lifeless corpse, playing oblivious...

But, perhaps, while unconscious earlier, how many times might Elizabeth have already had her way with him?

"Elizabeth, have we arrived at the Golden Palace?"

But after a moment of endurance, he couldn’t help but speak up, signaling that he was awake, asking her to restrain herself.

Yet hearing Fisher’s voice, she only grew more excited, leaning her face near his heart. Amid gentle sucking and breaths, her voice, hyped and uncontrollable, rose too,

"Ah... you weren’t lying after all, no one but me can find you, right... so good, this way, you’re forever mine, never leaving. Just stay here, here in the Golden Palace, okay?"

"..."

Fisher opened his mouth, but just as he did, the moment was seized by Elizabeth’s eager lips, taking him without pause...

Perhaps in the blink of an eye, these four and a half years slipped by, making him overlook some things, and now, finally, those overlooked truths were being brought to his attention...

He was now completely caught by the intensely feverish Elizabeth, locked away in her Golden Palace.
