Several journalists began to get excited about her and asked her a lot of questions, one of which was often asked:
"How do you explain such a rout of the Hyrules elite forces, against only one player?"
Elizabeth didn't even answer, she just signaled to the two bodyguards to block the journalists and then she looked for a place to sit down...
Alexander secretly crossed his fingers so that she would find a place far away from him and hid her face... Unfortunately for him Elizabeth sat right next to him...
Alexander was really starting to wonder why his day was so crappy...A terrifying nightmare, his father not wanting to talk to him anymore and now the person who probably hates him the most in the game was coming to sit next to him...
But Alexander pretended that nothing was wrong and ate his chocolate bread and drank his tea in a relaxed way while Elizabeth seemed to be absorbed by Twitter on her holo watch that he showed her the thousands of meme on her and Apophis...
She even said in a discreet way:
"Apophis dirty dog, if I get my hands on you I promise you'll die..."
Alexandra swallowed hard and started to moan loudly, which obviously made Elizabeth notice him and stare at him for a few seconds...
Alexander was really in the shit, he became all red and began to sweat slightly, if she recognized him he could tell God to his relative tranquility...
Then Elizabeth said:
"Hello sir... Don't we know each other?"
Alexander panicked...she didn't know what to say...should he deny it? Should he not answer? Thousands of emergency solutions flooded his head...Then he had an idea...
Alexander:
"Sorry darling, you are too pale, I prefer more tanned women..."
Alexander thought when behaving badly, she would end up ignoring him, unfortunately it failed miserably...
Elizabeth:
"Ahah, it's just that you have shitty tastes!"
Alexander himself was shocked by the language of this aristocrat...
Elizabeth held out her hand and said:
"My name is Elizabeth and yours?"
Alexander took her hand and answered:
"Alexander... Nice to meet you".
Elizabeth:
"It's rare to meet someone so young in this restaurant...what do you do for a living?
Alexander knew that it was a trick question, if he lied it would raise other questions, she had to tell as much truth as possible to mislead him and to hide his identity at all costs
Alexander:
"I play MMORPGs and you?
Elizabeth:
"I KNEW IT! As soon as I saw you! I knew I had already met you! You play Horus right?"
Alexander's forehead became wetter and wetter and answered:
"Ehhh, Yes..."
Elizabeth:
"Ahah Excellent! Let me guess... I ran into you in a dungeon!? no, a pvp fight?! "
Alexander became red, he asked what he had to the good god, for such a situation...
Diana arrived and said:
"Master, your car is ready!"
It was perfect timing...
Alexander:
"Ah...Sorry I have to go, I have a morning full of appointments..."
Elizabeth:
"Ah I see...If you want tonight, there is a party with various Horus personalities at my place on my lunar biome, it could be the opportunity to get to know each other better."
Alexander:
"I'm sorry, I'm busy tonight..."
Elizabeth :
"What a pity...You know, there would also be the SuperGuild leaders, it would be a good opportunity for you to get to know them..."
Alexander hesitated... Maybe there was the guild leader of Lord of War? If that was the case, it might be one of the only ways to approach her and learn more about her.
Alexander:
"Okay... I'll come..."
Elizabeth:
"Great! Don't forget to take the shuttle of 19:37 that leaves from the north naval base".
***
After a good meal, Alexander had an appointment with the notary for the signature of his apartment, the final price was 6,000,000 credits, which once again emptied his treasury that was eight million five hundred thousand credits, after this last sale...
Once the sale concluded he called his mother with his holo watch to announce the good news:
Alexander :
"Mom! I'm a homeowner, finally!"
A very weakened voice answered him:-
"Congratulations son...I am proud of your success... "
Hearing this voice in agony upset him deeply, it reminded him of the long descent into hell of his former life, he replied:
"I want to see you mom, are you still in the hospital?
mother:
"Yes, I'm still there, the doctor wanted to check me out...
Alexander:
"Well, I'm coming, then..."
***
When Alexander's car arrived at the hospital, his mother was waiting outside... She didn't look like the beautiful woman she had been... she was pale, thin and had lost her hair...
This made him feel a lot of pain, he almost wanted to ask Diana not to stop and continue on his way, the pain he felt when he saw his mother in that state was worse than anything else... He wanted to run away from this situation at all costs...
But he had the courage to get out of the car and embraced his mother as if he hadn't seen her in ten years... then Alexander cried in her arms, he had always tried to ignore this feeling towards his mother to concentrate on his goal and the way to save her, but to say it now was too much...
After recovering from this emotion, Alexandre took him for an ice cream, in sector 6, where in the old Paris the Seine used to flow, today there was only a huge ditch with a memorial at the bottom for all the victims of the new ice age...
After a good ice cream, they discussed many light things... Then Alexander broke the mood and said:
"Listen, I absolutely want you to move in with me in my new apartment..."
Mother:
"I can't, Alexander... You're a man now, it seems you're even famous... You have to build your life now... without your dying mother constantly undermining your morale..."
Alexander:
"You don't understand...if I did all this it's for us...it's for you...to try to save you..."
Mother:
"Alexander... I'm in phase 3...The doctor told me earlier that the tumor is still stable and that despite the fancy treatments I have them, which you generously paid for, it would probably only prolong my life by a year at most...You have to accept it and prepare yourself; by next year I won't be here anymore..."
Alexander didn't want to accept it...He ended the discussion quickly and brought his mother back to the family apartment in sector 18 and prepared himself for the evening that was going to take place on the Moon, he put on one of the suits that Diana had prepared and went to the naval station in the north of Paris, outside the huge dome...
Outside the dome, it was -60 degrees Celsius, the vital roads like this one were still maintained and de-iced regularly, but Alexander could only see a huge ice desert as far as the eye could see before arriving in the huge naval base...
