fish man and lady

The head maid knocked lightly on the door and entered after getting permission, saying formulaically, "Miss, lunch is ready."

"It's already at this point." Liz put the violin back to its original position and looked at Tiger, "Mr. Tiger usually eats at this time, then..."

"Miss, the food is getting cold." The old butler suddenly appeared at some point, and interrupted Elizabeth with a blunt sentence, preventing her from continuing. It seemed that she was not polite at all, but Elizabeth was almost as long as he looked at. The big ones just eat this set.

Elizabeth was silent for a while, and replied: "Okay, Grandpa Nedro..."

Next, he was naturally ordered to return to his room, but after thinking about it, he understood that eating at the same table with the master is absolutely not allowed, not to mention that although the current weather is still bad, compared with the morning, it is already a must. If he is much warmer, then he naturally has no reason to continue to follow the lady.

But just now Elizabeth smiled and said see you later, and she had agreed with the old housekeeper before that the allowed time limit was today.

On the way back to the room, Tiger thought about what Elizabeth was going to do in the afternoon.

Could it be that it is still like the non-stop learning just now?

Studying every day like this, if it were the boys in Murloc Island, they would have been so irritable that they would tear up their books, but he couldn't imagine what it would be like for Elizabeth to become impatient.

Obviously Elizabeth is not very old, but she has learned to hide everything in her heart and not show it.

[It's good to vent once in a while. 】

After thinking about it, he returned to the door. His meal was ready, and it was richer than usual, but the bread was thrown into the soup, and the spoon disappeared. It was not the first time such a thing happened , but it is really rare to see such obvious hostility.

Forget it, it’s okay to eat anyway. During the time in Murloc Street, what didn’t you eat?

It's just that this time even the rice bowl was replaced with the worst wooden bowl, which made him suspicious. Elizabeth likes silverware, and even he uses it. Even if the workmanship is rough, the value is still considerable, and Elizabeth is still very Seriously explained the benefits of silverware to him, one of which was anti-virus killing. Elizabeth said that she had encountered it before, but did not specify it.

"poison……"

He hesitated for a moment, then took out the silver bookmark he had stuck in the book, and put the end into the soup. Surprisingly, the part stained with the soup turned black quickly. Although he guessed this way, the result came out It still surprised him.

Someone actually wanted to poison him to death.

Is it the servants?

If so, where did they get it?

Or is there a mastermind and someone else, but what is the purpose of the other party?

The worst result was that Elizabeth's father finally couldn't see his daughter and the "lowly" murloc mixed up for a long time, so he wanted to clean it up.

He has a headache, because if this is the case, whether he can survive this month is really unknown, and the thing on his neck will make him a dead end no matter how he escapes.

When he was faced with a pot of poisonous food and didn't know what to do with it, there was a knock on the door, maybe it was to collect the dishes, or he didn't want to eat it. What came to mind was that it was Elizabeth who came, Elizabeth who was supposed to go to lunch now.

"Mr. Tiger," Elizabeth blushed, panting in small mouths, as if she had just finished a sprint. In fact, she might have done so. She put down the hem of the skirt she was carrying, and tried to smooth out the folds on it. "Well... you haven't eaten yet, right? I mean, the chef seems to have prepared too much today, if you don't mind..."

[Elizabeth may know something. 】

Thinking like this, he felt that someone was approaching, so he quickly knelt down and made a humble gesture, even though he knew that this was something Elizabeth hated to see, there was nothing he could do about it.

"Miss! What did you look like just now!"

"Ah, Grandpa Nedro, I just..." Elizabeth thought about what kind of excuse she should use, and finally, under the glaring gaze of the old housekeeper, she finally chose to tell the truth, "I just don't want to see my slave, so To be dealt with by others like this, Grandpa Nedro, this is a provocation to me."

The old butler frowned, seeing the wooden rice bowl on the desk, and the silver bookmark that had turned black on the side, his face turned dark all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth and scolded, "Murloc, do you have any?" How dare you use Miss’s bookmark.”

Tiger didn't speak, anyway, in the eyes of the old housekeeper, everything he said was wrong.

After a meal, the old butler went down with the bowl, but maybe he went to the restaurant to eat, and asked someone to bring him a few pieces of bread and vegetable soup, and it was over.

He is not particularly clear about what happened after that, but he probably knows who did it, and the rest is just knowing that that person will not appear in this mansion again.

"Elizabeth?" He looked uneasy at the girl who had been sluggish since then. Her class in the afternoon was history. He originally thought that her study should not be disturbed, but after half an hour, the blackboard book in her hand was still there. He didn't turn a page, he thought it's better to talk, if she was not allowed to say something, he would be suffocated.

"What's the matter, Mr. Tiger, that's right, I forgot to tell you, that bookcase over there is full of..."

"Tell me, Elizabeth, you can do anything, don't hold back." To be honest, he couldn't see anything wrong with Elizabeth's expression, it was just a vague feeling, which made him feel even more distressed. "I won't tell anyone."

Elizabeth looked at him blankly, as if she really didn't understand anything, but she didn't hold back in the end, and a few tears fell down, but the exposed emotions were quickly put away, and no water leaked, if it wasn't for the tears on her skirt. The water stain, he thought it was just his own illusion.

"It's nothing, Mr. Tiger. You don't have to worry about me, I... I'm a half-Dragon man after all, and I have to worry about others."

Half a Celestial Dragon...

"Really, Mr. Tiger, please don't think I'm too fragile, and I'm not a child anymore." Elizabeth simply closed the book, and it doesn't matter if I haven't played a page since just now. Well, this was supposed to be tomorrow, and she had already previewed it yesterday. What really bothered her was the message from her father. "I'm almost getting married..."

Even if you are about to get married...

and many more……

"Marry...marry!?" Tiger suddenly stuttered, not knowing how to react, but subconsciously continued, "How old are you!?"

"19 years old is not too young. It is very common for nobles to marry early. And if there is no such thing, now I have married into another family. After all, the 'marriage contract' was made when I was very young. It's settled." Elizabeth didn't show any shyness when it came to getting married. She didn't meet the person her father told her today more than three times. I don't even feel it anymore.

To her, getting married is just a change of residence, with an extra man standing beside her, maybe she will have a child, but she is only half a dragon, even if she has a child, she probably won't have the chance to raise it herself.

"Already... have a... marriage contract?"

"Yeah, Father has already made arrangements. If there is no accident, I will probably start preparing when I am 20 years old." Elizabeth smiled helplessly, "On your birthday, Mr. Tiger, you will probably see He, but I think the process should be too pleasant, the other party is not the type that people like..."

"...Elizabeth, what kind of boys do you like?" Tiger didn't know if it was right for him to talk about this topic. After all, he had heard about the fact that noble children's marriages could not be chosen by themselves, and there was basically no room for negotiation. Especially Liz, who is already in a weak position.

Elizabeth was taken aback, but found that the other party didn't seem to be joking with her, so she had to think about it seriously, "Probably a boy who has similar interests to mine and can make me feel at ease."

"Only these two points?"

"If you really like each other, I'm satisfied with only these two points." Elizabeth didn't have any careful fantasies. in life. "What about you, Mr. Tiger? Do you have a favorite girl in your hometown? Or do you already have a wife?"

"No wife or anything."

"Then there must be a mermaid or a murloc lady who is dating, what is it like?" Elizabeth seldom began to gossip.

"No." He is an old man who has only stayed on Murloc Island for a few years. Even when he was young, he still managed the Murloc Street. There are basically no such opportunities, and there are quite a few brothers around, but it seems that there are not many companions.

"Not one?" Elizabeth opened her eyes wide, unable to believe it, and then clapped her fists again, "So is it a boyfriend?"

Tiger almost choked to death when he couldn't get up, "...why do you think so?"

Elizabeth replied as a matter of course: "Because Mr. Tiger is a very nice person, so I thought, this gentle Mr. Tiger must have a lover?"

"...I'm sorry, there are really no lovers or anything. And... I don't
