At this moment, all irrelevant people had left the royal court, leaving space for the three main participants still present.

As Rafael opened her eyes again, a little bit of scorching steam escaped from her body, but after taking a few deep breaths, she raised her eyes to look at Moli not far away and said,

"Moli, Fisher actually came to the Dragon Court to find me earlier. He probably didn’t know you were here, otherwise, he wouldn’t have followed me all the way here until this happened... The surprise I told you about was actually to introduce him to you, my husband. After all, although we both knew who we were waiting for, we didn’t know the specific identity of that person. But... I didn’t expect you to have known him all along. The person we were waiting for is the same."

"I... I know, Rafael... I didn’t realize at first... The surprise you mentioned is... that... I thought..."

Moli pursed her lips, now that those irrelevant people were not arguing, the situation gradually became clear.

At this moment, in front of this person, who knew Mr. Fischer better than she did, who had a marital relationship, who deeply cared for each other, and who was her best sister, emotionally and rationally, Moli felt at a disadvantage.

In fact, neither side had a sense of competition at this moment, after all, years of feelings can’t just vanish overnight.

Not to mention, they were still at the stage of clarifying things and conflicts. Even after this, Moli was determined that she would never truly fall out with Rafael.

She couldn’t do it, she didn’t want to hurt Rafael, didn’t want to conflict with her, but she also didn’t want to let go.

"Alright, in that case. Moli, I now want to know, how did you meet Fisher, how did he leave Nali, how did you separate and come to the Dragon Court, can you tell me these things?"

"Alright... I... I..."

Compared to Fasher and Kexier’s bickering-like confrontation, Rafael’s words were obviously more to the point.

At this moment, her words were calm, seemingly devoid of emotion, as if a queen was listening to a subordinate’s report, full of authority.

And Moli was completely unaware that Rafael’s unconscious pressure was continuously squeezing Moli’s space to resist.

In terms of official matters, Rafael was always the true master of the Dragon Court. In the end, even though Moli had helped Dragon Court with many things over the years, she was ultimately just a guest from the Sea Floor.

Personally, Rafael was a partner with a deeper connection to Fisher, incomparable to herself, who used to be just a student of Professor Fisher.

The weakness in both aspects only compounded.

In terms of presence, Moli was already at a disadvantage, not to mention Moli was not good with words and rarely appeared in public in recent years, relying entirely on Rafael to promote the image of this Priest.

This resulted in Rafael’s words to Moli, intended to ask and clarify the situation, feeling more like the primary wife questioning a mistress about the shameful history of seducing her husband.

"At... at that time... I..."

It was at this time that Fisher, who had been silent all along, finally spoke. He interrupted Moli, said,

"Rafael, let me speak, I remember more clearly."

Rafael and Moli both looked at him, a hint of unspoken reproach flashed in Rafael’s emerald-green eyes, while Moli’s expression was unreadable, but she subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, as if she could mentally evade for a moment.

Fisher had remained silent because, earlier, Rafael herself had not expressed any attitude, still seeming bewildered, and the earlier words were all spoken by Fasher and Kexier to Moli.

Their perspectives didn’t matter at all, even if they were standing on Rafael’s side, it was of no use. What mattered was how Rafael thought, not how they thought.

So, Fisher had been contemplating during the chaotic silence, trying to compensate for the helplessness the sudden collision brought about.

The first thing to determine was that he couldn’t evade like before anymore.

He couldn’t introduce Rafael to Moli the way he introduced Renie to Elizabeth, or Alagina to Renie, by simply saying, "Moli is just a student I know."

That was only a temporary expedient, a delay to ease the conflict. But how long could it be delayed? If eventually one had to face it, today was that moment.

"When I left the South Continent to return to Saint Nali, I..."

Under Fisher’s narration, he told Rafael how he met Moli, how he was drawn into Elizabeth’s conspiracy for power, how they fought together to kill Pioneer Blake, how Elizabeth tried to kill Moli to bring him back to the Golden Palace, and the promise of "meeting again" they made upon their separation.

"So, what the book said earlier, about you and that Nali Empress, is true?"

But after Rafael listened, her first question was surprisingly about this.

Compared to the unintentional interrogation that seeped through when talking to Moli, Rafael’s words softened a bit now... but only a bit. Because when mentioning the "Nali Empress," her expression was quite hostile.
