Chapter 371 - 151. Elizabeth’s Omni-Request_2

The vast Nali Lake was now completely enveloped by a layer of scorching gold flames, forming a sea of fire. In front of this burning expanse, the stone-faced Elizabeth and Moli, who was clutching the spot where the golden sword had almost pierced her, turned their gaze towards Fisher nearby. There, several soldiers lay on the ground in agony, clutching their abdomens, while even more soldiers pointed their guns at him.

"You still want to protect this fish, even now! The more you do this, the more I want to kill her! I will carve out every piece of your heart that these women occupy, and then make space for..."

"Boom!"

Watching Fisher make his move, Elizabeth’s words came out cold as the flames on Nali Lake raged even more furiously with her anger, soaring skyward like fire pillars. The golden sword reappeared in her hand.

Gasping for breath, Fisher gave no response. The wounds from his previous battles had not yet fully healed, and the one in his abdomen inflicted by Blake began to seep blood again. After all, Elliog was not a professional doctor, barely able to set bones and stop the bleeding.

As fresh blood began to ooze from beneath Fisher once more, Elizabeth’s previously icy demeanor seemed to melt in an instant,

"Wait, your wound, the medic..."

"Clang!"

Before she could finish speaking, Fisher, clutching the Fluid Sword, lunged at her. Elizabeth hastily raised her sword to defend herself. The clash of the two weapons produced a violent friction sound. Yet, even so, her Pandora kept its gaze fixed on the wound between Fisher’s abdomen.

As their power struggle continued, more blood flowed from his midsection. Elizabeth’s pupils dilated slightly, and she suddenly withdrew her strength, allowing Fisher to easily pin her to the ground.

"Thud!"

Elizabeth fell backward, pushed by Fisher’s effortless move. It was a light but unexpected fall, one that even Fisher hadn’t predicted when she suddenly relaxed her strength.

"Your Highness!"

"Stand down!"

Moli was about to get up when the soldiers around her raised their weapons, but almost simultaneously, Elizabeth, pinned down by Fisher, raised her hand, ordering the soldiers to cease their attack.

Under the unyielding military command, all the soldiers hesitated not a moment before lowering their weapons. Still, they kept a vigilant watch over Fisher and the restless Moli beside him.

And at that moment, Elizabeth beneath Fisher’s body wore her golden hair fanned out with her stained white dress, like a rose with petals unfurled, laying vulnerably before Fisher’s Fluid Sword.

The usually intricate, devious-minded Elizabeth now appeared to Fisher like a piece of fragile glass. Her beautiful golden eyes were filled with an empty frailty. At this moment, she fell silent, uttering not a word, allowing Fisher’s blade to approach her incessantly.

But the deadly stillness did not ease Fisher. Instead, it seemed to torture his soul relentlessly, preventing him from bringing himself to strike.

After an eternity, Fisher’s Fluid Sword slowly retracted, morphing into an innocuous black hilt. He sighed and said,

"I have lost, Elizabeth..."

But Elizabeth gave a cold laugh and responded,

"Do you think I wanted to have a contest with you, to see who is more cunning?! Or do you think, right now, you are blaming yourself, regretting you didn’t see the traces of my planning, regretting that today has come to this?"

"At this point, do you think I care about anything else?! If Fisher wants to kill me, that’s fine. I’m willing. As long as we’re together, it doesn’t matter how..."

Her golden sword had already vanished. Elizabeth looked up at the Fisher above her and gently brushed his face with her hand, just like she had often imagined while at the Royal College.

They were meant to be just like this, to be the most enviable couple, to live happily together...

And even today, even though Fisher had never loved her, she had to maintain the lowest of expectations.

They would be together!

Fisher did not pull away from Elizabeth’s hand because, at that moment, he realized how searing the distant Gold Flames were, as was her skin chillingly cold. This bone-deep chill seemed to be a leak from her hollow heart, making it impossible for Fisher to warm her temperature.

His body also felt the slight cold of her fingertips, weighing his heart down significantly.

"Elizabeth, I am indeed blaming myself..."

"Because that poor boy named Fisher Benavides from the orphanage made it to the Royal College with a smidgen of talent and luck, never imagining that the dazzling elder princess would favor him. The Princess not only didn’t scorn him but poured all her affection onto him. Yet, he didn’t stay with the Princess until the end."

"I’ve always wondered, if I hadn’t avoided the issue, if I hadn’t ignored you and stood with you to face the problems, would we have ended up here today? When I think carefully about Blake, Mu Xi, Anna, and the others who died because of you, I still feel guilty... towards you, towards them. Elizabeth, this is what I owe you, and I will pay you back someday, but it definitely won’t be today."
