He coughed, looking at the battlefield where flames burned fiercely in front of him, and said to Fasher and her companions,

"You can’t say that. You don’t know, Fisher was willing to run away with Moli rather than return to Saint Nali to marry Elizabeth at the time."

"Huh?! Fisher and that... the Human Empress’s affair is true?"

"But even so, that was a long time ago, even before Fisher came to the South Continent, wasn’t it?"

"But at that time... Elizabeth and Fisher clearly..."

"Clearly what?"

"Yeah, hurry up and tell us!"

The exaggerated argument in front of them was too much, with the voices of Fasher, Kexier, Moli, and this guy Emhardt echoing throughout the King’s Court hall. In just a few minutes, the situation was already chaotic, and clever remarks were flying, making the already tumultuous situation even more chaotic.

Rafael remained silent, quietly watching Moli standing in front of Fisher. However, the scales on her body kept trembling, and she could barely catch her breath, obviously reflecting her emotional turbulence.

Fasher and Kexier supported Rafael, primarily arguing that "Rafael and Fisher have consummated their marriage and should be considered married," wanting Moli to let go; Moli seemed soft but showed no sign of backing down, completely caught up in the argument.

Emhardt kept shouting, wishing he could yell out,

"Isn’t Fisher to blame?!"

Then he would burn Fisher with flames, letting him see what it’s like to be engulfed in flames, and what the cost of greed entails.

But he ultimately didn’t do that and left Fisher with a way out.

The two children held in the arms of Fasher and Kexier couldn’t understand anything, just clapping hands and laughing "Ah Ba Ah Ba."

"Enough, you all!"

"Enough!"

At this moment, Fisher and Rafael, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke up simultaneously, both having had enough of the argument, while the Dragon Queen could no longer endure it, looking at Fasher and her companions who were ready to roll up their sleeves and argue.

"Lord Raphael, you waited so long and haven’t clarified..."

"Yeah, and initially..."

"You’re arguing like shrews; how can we talk clearly? Besides, this is our business, we will handle it, you, take the children and leave first,"

"Ra..."

"I don’t want to repeat myself."

Fasher and her companions hesitated but eventually nodded, taking the two giggling babies away from the scene.

Moli pursed her lips, feeling the gazes directed at her as they left, momentarily speechless.

Fisher then grabbed the excited Emhardt by the shoulder, and whispered in his dazed gaze,

"You, I’ll deal with you after I’m done."

"..."

Emhardt blinked innocently, before Fisher casually tossed him, landing perfectly in the hands of the departing dragon-kid duo, yelling in fright, unable to escape the curious paws of two little dragon-man babies.

Under the Dragon Queen’s enforced command, unrelated personnel quickly cleared the area, leaving space for the three caught in the vortex of conflict.

Suddenly, the previous commotion receded like a tide, yet the atmosphere here did not change, becoming even more chilling...

Rafael’s tail behind her swayed dangerously, she breathed heavily several times, unable to slow her accelerating heartbeat.

She looked at Moli in the distance, then at Fisher in front of her, slowly tightening her fists...

She just couldn’t understand why something that should have been joyful turned out like this.

Clearly, after waiting for so long for her lover to appear, and wanting to share the joy of their reunion with her sisters who had accompanied her for so long, and hoping to gain her mother’s blessing to make him her true husband...

Clearly, it should have been like this...

But why was her husband suddenly targeted by others?

Why doesn’t he reject others, is it because she’s just a lowly South Continent dragon-person? Maybe he always saw her as just a fleeting romance? What does she truly mean in his eyes? Yet, he was willing to come find her...

Moli is unwilling to let go, what about Elizabeth? Fisher and Elizabeth, what is their relationship, are they really just an estranged first love as he says?

The unexpected turmoil impacts not only Fisher but Rafael as well, she was so overwhelmed that she hadn’t even managed to say a complete sentence earlier.

So many questions, so many changes, she needs to find the answers.

She just couldn’t accept the changes happening, not wanting to fight Moli, nor wanting to argue and interrogate Fisher, yet everything seems inevitable...

Could she really walk away carefree? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But clearly, whether meeting, falling in love, consummating the marriage, pledging, or longing, she was here first...

The wind they shared in the South Continent with Fisher is still vivid before her eyes, no matter how she doesn’t want to admit it, she knows she longs for that time.

She, too, does not want to let go.

In silence, her breathing gradually slowed down, then she once again moved her gaze, looking at Fisher and Moli before her...

Clearly, it is far from over.
