Fisher had a dream.
He dreamt that many years ago, within a few years after he and Elizabeth parted ways, and before she led the army to battle Schwali, he finally overcame his hesitation and delivered the letter he had been holding back to the Golden Palace.
He dreamt of Elizabeth arriving at his rented room in a golden carriage from the Golden Palace, throwing herself into his arms with joy, as if the years of estrangement could be dissolved by a simple letter.
He dreamt of her bringing him back to the Golden Palace to face her father and brothers, and after many years, the young man in the ivory tower could finally stand on his own and prove to Gedelin that he was the one suited for Elizabeth.
At that time, Elizabeth, standing beside him, would gaze at Fisher with sparkling eyes, and then, in times of uncertainty, use her determination to change their minds.
