Chapter 1075 Eclipse Crown Plan

"The Erosion Crown Plan..."

Isabel murmured softly.

Hearing this, Isabel felt extremely complicated at the moment.

The shadow of her childhood was that relatives she knew or didn't know very well died one after another because of the curse... Now that she has become the queen of Avalon, the curse has become a thing of the past.

But now she knows that the person who caused the whole incident in the first place... was actually her parents?

"If a nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing; if a horseshoe is missing, a war horse is lame; if a war horse is lame, a battle is lost; if a battle is lost, a country is lost..."

Isabelle crooned the nursery rhyme of Avalon.

That was a song she heard when she was very young.

When you first hear it, you don't know what the song is about, but when you listen to it again, you already know the meaning of the song.

But Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had more things on his mind than Isabel.

This is an old story that almost no one knows except the person involved. It's possible that Prince Albert didn't even know he had such an engagement. But at least Queen Sofia, as the leader, must know all this.

When the Ten Days War was discovered and the old Duke personally led the army to fight, he should have known that this matter was related to Prince Albert - especially since a member of the royal family had been poisoned before that, which was obviously the work of Hawkeye.

And Sherlock also realized something: "So, that incident that year..."

His father, Arthur Hermes, was Lord Chamberlain of Avalon. His main responsibility is to plan and manage various activities in which the royal family participates, and to host weddings and funerals. The most critical function is to hire, train and manage the servants in the palace. Therefore, when a royal family was poisoned by a curse, Arthur was undoubtedly responsible.

At that time, someone anonymously reported that Arthur was the poisoner - at this time, the Inspectorate found the poison that could cause the corresponding cause of death in the Hermes mansion. The entire evidence chain is complete. Although there is a slight lack of motive, it is not too much to have the memory searched by the Inspectorate at this time.

But at that time, the Queen directly protected Arthur.

There was no interrogation or questioning. With a complete chain of evidence, Arthur was directly acquitted... You must know that the person who was assassinated at that time was the prince she loved most and who was most likely to become the next king.

Sherlock takes this as trust and respects it in return.

But now he understands a little more...

……I see.

The queen actually knew how the assassination happened... so she would forgive Arthur without hesitation!

But then the problem comes...

Why did she suddenly take the initiative to contact the Vendôme family, which she had no previous communication with, to find a princess for Albert? And why did she acquiesce to and even promote their marriage after Albert got his music teacher Inelise Flowers pregnant?

Although Enelise has the heritage of Yanis's teacher, Bettinadia Blossom, she could only be regarded as a little girl when she left the Theocracy. According to the age of a half-elf, she had just reached adulthood when she arrived in Avalon, and was much younger than Yanis. Although the two of them knew each other, their relationship was not particularly good—at least not good enough for Yanis to ask Queen Sofia for a wedding on her behalf.

Will the Queen offend the Grand Duke Vendome of Iris for the sake of their love - let's not talk about whether it is love or not?

One of the prices you have to pay for being a royal is that you have no autonomy in marriage. As a half-elf, Enelise is still a better choice among the elves-worshiping Avalon...but in other cases, if a royal member chooses a lover with a low status as a marriage partner, he will bear the consequences. Considerable political pressure.

It's not just a matter of a decline in the line of succession... it may even be used as a sharp edge by rebels with ulterior motives to shake the authority of the royal family.

Not to mention, this incident indirectly triggered the Ten-Day War. At that time, before Meg took action, the Avalon Navy was on the verge of collapse and was completely unable to prevent the Iris soldiers from landing. At that time, Meg had not yet taken action, so how could Queen Sofia be sure that Avalon was safe and sound?

Afterwards, the royal family was cursed, and the whole of Avalon believed that it was the hands of the Star Antimony. At that time, let alone whether the war could be won, it could at least be said to support the support of the people. If you can show a decisive attitude, you may not be able to stop the mastermind behind the scenes.

But even then, the queen remained motionless. Because she knew that this was really not done by Xing Antimony. Once a war begins against Star Antimony, Star Antimony will definitely be attacked from both sides - there is no such possibility as "maybe"; and if a war begins against Iris, Star Antimony will definitely stand in the way and reap the benefits.

From a certain perspective, all this trouble can be said to be caused by Albert.

——But from another perspective, Albert also said sincerely: "I didn't feel love from my mother, I only felt pressure and pointing fingers. As if I couldn't do anything well... As if I couldn't do anything well..." It’s like stupid.”

Even after Prince Albert left the Glass Island, he never looked for him.

These two attitudes are completely opposite!

She offended the Duke of Iris for Prince Albert's freedom of marriage, and also showed no concern for Albert when he ran away from home.

This attitude of coexistence of neglect and attention...

Aiwass suddenly thought of something and looked at Isabel.

...Is it possible that the person Sophia values ​​​​is Isabel from the beginning?

This strange feeling reminded Aiwas of a novel he had read in his previous life.

In that novel, the heroine, the daughter of the patriarch of an ancient noble family and the most talented seedling in the family, left the family with only a "guard" who was almost the weakest in the family and entered a small family in a small mountain town. The heroine also let the guard touch her everywhere, and the guard seemed to be blind, and the favorability was inexplicably locked.

But if it is love at first sight, there has been no sweet plot, and they don't meet much in the middle. But the possessiveness is very strong, and even jealous... It gives people a feeling as if they are reborn, and they come to hug their thighs because they know the plot later.

Queen Sofia gave Aiwas this feeling.

She seemed to know that Isabel was an extraordinary person in the way of beauty, and even knew that Isabel liked "Lulu's Magic Flute". So she wanted to find the Vendome family, which has the most orthodox inheritance of the way of beauty and is one of the original performers of "Lulu's Magic Flute", and find Albert for marriage.

Later, after Albert, who was not yet an adult, had a relationship with Inelis, she not only did not ask for the child to be aborted quietly for the honor of the royal family, but also did not take action against Inelis. She even risked offending the Grand Duke of Vendôme, who was the symbol of the military power of the iris, and paid the price of a child to save Isabelle.

After Isabelle was born, Sofia had always let Isabelle learn art from Janice, without touching any knowledge that might lead to assassination. The reason she gave to Aiwass before was to let Isabelle keep a low profile - but the premise of this sentence was that she would not teach her those things in order to avoid Isabelle being assassinated.

Then why Isabelle? Just because she showed her artistic talent since she was a child? But Isabelle's artistic talent does not seem to be so high compared to that of real artists.

Before, neither Aiwass, Sherlock... or even Isabelle herself realized that there was any problem here. The only one who might have vaguely felt it was Sherlock's brother Mycroft. That's why he was the first to pledge allegiance to Isabel, and even had a good relationship with Isabel when Prince Andrew and other royal family members were still alive. And he, like Queen Sofia, ignored Isabel's two-year-old brother John.

It's like... she knew from the beginning that Isabel would become an extraordinary person in the future.

Even in the copy, in another possibility shown, she chose to let Isabel marry after knowing Xing Ti's conspiracy. She tried to protect Isabel in this way, but she didn't expect Xing Ti to prepare a "fake Isabel".

- If it's from this perspective, then everything makes sense!
