Chapter 1074 Are You Also Aiwass’s Mother?
When walking back with Aiwass and Yulia, Isabel's heart suddenly lifted.
——Why, why do you still need to meet your parents!
Isabel's original calmness and calmness suddenly disappeared under Aiwass' sudden attack.
For a moment, Isabel would feel like she was no longer the Queen of Avalon, but instead the little girl who was still in school and had just become an adult.
"Aiwass, Aiwass..."
Isabel lowered her voice and asked with some anxiety and curiosity: "Your mother...isn't she...?"
Few people would be more aware than Isabel of the misfortunes that befell Aiwas' parents.
Because when she and Aiwass first met, they played Aiwass's parents in the promotion ceremony.
From her plot briefing and mission requirements at the time, she had already guessed the fate of the original Anne Alexander - she was attacked by the Hook Demon and assassinated to death.
The necessary task that Isabel received at that time was to protect the survival of little Aiwass, and there was no "survival" in it. And she also has a strange mission, which is to go to Hanging Square.
At that time, she was still a young newcomer and was not as familiar with the promotion ceremony as she is now. If Isabel is now, she only needs to take a look at those tasks to roughly realize what kind of plot she may face, what kind of problem-solving ideas she should choose, and the fate of her role in the original history.
This actually means that in the original timeline, it was Aiwass's parents who went to Hanging Square and placed little Aiwass there - there were too many people there, and they would share the vaguely positioned weak curse with each other, making The Hook Demon cannot be located through curses. If it gets too big, the supervisors will be attracted immediately, and there are enough people there, so there is no need to worry about little Aiwass starving to death in a corner. Then, they went to lure away the Hook Demon themselves and saved Aiwass with their own lives.
Another possibility is that they placed little Aiwass in the church where they were at the beginning, and then went to Hanging Square to lure away the enemy... but the result was the same. In that promotion ceremony, "death" itself was one of the ways to complete the task.
It was precisely because Aiwass's parents died in that assassination that he entered the orphanage funded by the Moriarty family, met Yulia, and were later raised by James Moriarty together.
So now... where did his mother come from?
Could it be that Aiwass found his mother who had become an apostle from the dream world and took her away?
Isabel was nervous, and so was Yulia. After all, she always thought that as Aiwass's sister, she was already Aiwass's closest relative... But now why is there a closer relative?
And when the two wary girls followed Aiwass into the living room of the Palace of Silver and Tin, they unexpectedly found that there were quite a lot of people here.
In addition to Sherlock, who was the original purpose of Aiwass's trip, Aiwass and Julia's brother Edward also came back. There were two men and one woman at the table that Yulia had never seen before... an old man with silver hair and blue eyes and a majestic appearance, a beautiful lady in her thirties who was obviously well-educated, and a handsome man with deep facial features. .
Although they were not of the same age, Isabel could recognize it at a glance - the woman dressed as an aristocrat was the mother of Aiwass whom she had played in her dream!
Her mind suddenly became extremely confusing: How come Aiwass's mother is still alive? Why is she at Iris? Who is the man next to her? Why didn't she come to Aiwass after such a long time?
The other party obviously heard the footsteps and raised his head to look at Isabel.
Isabel noticed that there was surprise, joy and satisfaction in her eyes, as well as a strange hint of panic and timidity. The two looked at each other for a moment, but no one spoke immediately and remained strangely silent.
"Hello……"
After about two seconds of silence, Isabel greeted softly.
A strange sentence popped up in her mind for no reason:
——Are you also Aiwass’s mother?
Isabel was startled and shook her head quickly before swallowing the words that she almost blurted out.
Aiwass introduced her: "She is Anne de Vendôme, the third daughter of the Duke of Vendôme.
"This is Isabelle. Isabelle du Lac, my love."
...The third daughter of the Duke of Vendôme? Not "my mother"?
Isabel was stunned for a moment.
Although Yulia didn't know many of these things, she had already sensed something from the looks in their eyes. Therefore, he was very smart and didn't say a word, but stood obediently behind Aiwass.
At this moment, Aiwass suddenly smiled evilly and added: "You can also call her Lulu."
No, no, no, no, this won’t work, it won’t work, it won’t work, it won’t work…
Isabel suddenly became visibly panicked.
——Don’t say in front of your mother that I was your mother! Don’t do that kind of thing!
This was the second most embarrassing thing for Isabel.
The first embarrassing thing is probably to reveal that he called Aiwass dad in front of his father...
She was already shaking her head crazily in her mind, but she didn't show it, she just smiled reservedly in embarrassment.
On the other hand, the old man, who was drinking tea and reading a book, raised his head with interest at this moment: "Is it from "Lulu's Magic Flute"? That's very good."
Aiwas smiled and introduced Isabel in a low voice: "The goblin named Lulu who wrote "Lulu's Magic Flute" was the goblin friend of an ancestor of the Vendôme family. The first person in human society It was a Vendôme who performed this drama in public."
This is why the Vendome family controls the profession of "piper".
But when Isabel heard this, she roughly understood part of the matter.
——Aiwass’s mother is a noble from the Vendôme family?
The Archduke Vendôme of Iris?
Even Isabel, who was not very politically literate, knew the military Duke's transcendent status in Iris.
...But if this is the case, why did she change her name to Anne Alexander and marry Aiwass's father in Avalon? He was a real commoner, just a priest who had just taken office. He didn't even have money to buy real estate on Glass Island, so he could only live in the countryside.
A love story between a duke’s daughter and a poor boy?
Could it be that she was able to survive because of the Duke Vendôme's intervention?
But in that case...
Isabel looked at Aiwass hesitantly.
She always noticed carefully that Aiwass never called "Annie" mother in front of her. Therefore, Isabel didn't know how to address the other party.
She worried that Aiwass did not approve of the mother. If he changed his words in advance, it would be tantamount to kidnapping Aiwass's position.
"That's it..."
Anne seemed to be mentally prepared for the journey.
In front of her son, who was "related only by blood", and his fiancée who was to get married tomorrow, she finally told her story and shared her life.
Used to give them a reminder - or a warning.
"I was in college...study abroad in Avalon. Studying art."
Anne said softly: "I didn't stay in Iris because I was burdened with political tasks at the time..."
——This is actually a matter of course.
No one here reacted to this.
After all, Iris is a country of beauty and love. Art in Iris is a national skill that has been vigorously developed for hundreds of years, and its status is far higher than the alchemy of Star Antimony. As the child of the Duke of Vendôme, Anne went to Avalon to study abroad... The value of this is about the same as a literary family going to Europe and America to study Chinese language and literature, or an American going to China to learn business English.
I feel that apart from having an easier time taking exams, this study basically leaves me feeling lonely.
"It was the time when Iris and Avalon were having a cold war," the old Duke continued, "His Majesty Sophia came to discuss something with me.
"She has a child she likes very much who is interested in art, and she hopes to find a truly reliable artistic family to cultivate a relationship and establish a marriage contract. This can also be regarded as the marriage between Avalon and Iris... and with the Avalon royal family. Marriage can also relieve this increasingly tense international situation and allow the two countries to return to a calmer stance, so I agreed.
"The people of Avalon don't want war, and neither do the people of Iris. I taught Anne the Avalon language and gave her psychological counseling. I told her how to get along with those stone men with knight heads in the palace... But Not long after she left for Avalon, she told me something.
"——That is, the prince who was originally engaged to her has secretly married his tutor. And almost everyone in Avalon knew about it. I was furious at the time, thinking this was The Avalonians humiliated me, so I sent Annie back to prepare for war.
"At that time, I asked Hawkeye to send an assassin to poison one of the royal heirs of Avalon as revenge.
"But Anne became rebellious...she didn't want to come back.
"After that, the famous battle happened - the Ten-Day War. In that war..."
When the old Duke said this, he sighed: "The army that was repelled by Ms. Meg was led by me. We defeated Avalon's navy at an extremely fast speed. It was the most elite army of Iris, but Everyone was defeated by Ms. Meg, but no one was killed."
Hearing this, Isabel opened her eyes slightly.
She has realized... who Anne's husband should be according to another possibility of history.
At the same time, I also realized another thing...
——Because the old Duke still hasn’t said a word.
That's what happened after the Ten-Day War ended——
"When the Iris councilors clearly realized that they could not defeat Avalon with Meg... they launched another plan under the secret promotion of the Moon Children who were good at curses.
"The original purpose of this plan was actually to cut down Hawkeye's high-end assassins and use their power to force them to continuously enter Avalon to die. However, it was unexpectedly discovered that the Avalonians are particularly bad at defending against curses... So the plan changed. It was changed to the royal family of Avalon. Later, the Star Antimony people also realized this and added fuel to the fire.
“The name of this plan is called ‘Eclipse Crown Plan’.
"——This is what the Avalonians call the 'Royal Curse'."
