Aristocrats are really different from ordinary families.

What they show is not wealth, but a connotation that others cannot reach.

For example, now.

Although the Merck family is no longer the Merck family before, it still has a background that Rock cannot imagine.

All kinds of unexpected things.

Even though the party is defeated, the meaning is still there.

This kind of family can rise again as long as they get the opportunity.

And Elizabeth is also creating this opportunity.

"Miss Elizabeth, Nick's work has been doing well recently."

On the long wooden table, Rock and Elizabeth sat opposite each other, each of them was placed with the dishes, silver plates, and glasses.

Rock raised the wine that could not be named and said softly.

Elizabeth was the partner he had determined when he was a small pirate and had only one small ship.

It is also a kind of early investment.

So, he never ignored the situation here.

Before coming here this time, Rock also greeted the Shadow Man and sent all the news about Nick and Elizabeth.

So he knows it clearly.

Of course, he asked this not simply to discuss Nick's development with Elizabeth.

Instead, I want to know how much Elizabeth controls Nick.

In other words, whether Elizabeth still has value in use.

If not, then as Rock said, this is just a beautiful woman.

Not much value.

"I've sent someone to deliver a letter to Nick, and he'll be here soon."

Elizabeth also had some understanding of Rock's question. She was not the kind of silly white sweet who was simply raised in the boudoir, but instead had experienced countless real captains on the ocean.

She knew what to say at this time.

Maybe, what is it shown?

However, after responding to Rock's words, he felt a little disappointed.

In Elizabeth's heart, Rock, was different from other partners.

At least, the two of them experienced a lot of things together.

Including the plot against the butcher Joseph, Blackbeard and Max and others.

This is equivalent to living and dying together.

During this period, Elizabeth may have had some other feelings about Rock.

She felt that Rock might be...

But she was disappointed.

As soon as Rock met, he asked about the situation of the Merck family. Obviously, he didn't have much other ideas about her.

"call……"

Elizabeth lowered her head, and for a moment, she didn't know how to speak.

Some of the topics she prepared before also became awkward.

"Miss Elizabeth, Mr. Nick is here."

So, this embarrassment didn't stay for too long, and a somewhat respectful voice came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, Nick's figure appeared from the door.

Rock looked up and saw that Nick was still wearing the original housekeeper's clothing and limped into the room.

Instead of looking at himself, he came directly to Elizabeth, bowed and said,

"I've met Miss."

"sit."

Elizabeth nodded slightly.

Nick, he is still absolutely surrendered and respectful to Elizabeth.

Instead of sitting, he stood behind Elizabeth, and carefully filled his wine glasses and said respectfully,

"Nick hasn't served the lady for a long time. Please give Nick this opportunity."

"Thank you."

Elizabeth nodded to express her gratitude, and then pointed to Rock,

"Captain Rock wants to know the recent situation, so you can introduce it to him. After all, I don't know much."

Elizabeth's tone was very plain and there was not much emotion.

Nick nodded and began to tell

"Captain Rock, I have now got Norren City..."

"No need to talk about it, I'll probably know a little bit. You know what I want to confirm. You've given me the answer."

Rock smiled, raised his wineglass and said,

"I wish our future cooperation will be smooth."

“The cooperation went smoothly.”

Elizabeth also raised his wine glass, and the two of them clashed from afar and drank all the wine.

...

Talk during the day and it’s soon the past.

Elizabeth was full of loss, and overall it was all depressed.

Rock's actions made her feel really nervous.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

Reasonably, she is a nobleman and Rock is a pirate, and it is impossible for two people to be together.

But for some reason, Elizabeth had the urge to fly into the flames.

Even the moment Rock wrote to Norren City, she had made up her mind to dedicate her body when she saw Rock.

She didn't know where these thoughts came from.

But, it's just so impatient.

When she was ready, she heard Rock's question when she saw him.

She was disappointed.

Then, all her passion cooled down and she hesitated again.

The night is as cool as water.

The courtyard hidden by the flowers seems a little quiet, and sometimes you can hear some of the cries of insects.

Elizabeth couldn't sleep alone and walked out of the house.

Sitting down in the gazebo in the yard.

The moonlight poured down from the sky and fell into the pavilion.

This is a pavilion built in imitation of the oriental style, with an octagonal shape, a hexagonal lanai, and several steps.

In front of the pavilion is a rockery pond.

Looking down the cold moonlight, the silver fish in the pond are floating quietly in the middle of the water.

It should have also entered a sleep state.

Elizabeth looked at the still fish, frowned, and threw a stone into the pond in anger.

Hurry!

A violent wave rippled, and the still silverfish were panicking and fleeing in scattered.

"Damn Rock."

Elizabeth looked at the silverfish and hummed to herself,

"Would I, Elizabeth, be worse than you?"

"Why should I go to you so proactively?"
