Chapter 480: A Three-Person Confrontation

When Aiwass put Sherlock on the bed, he lowered his voice and looked back at Isabel: "He fell asleep and couldn't hear anything.

——That is the mysterious skill from the Dusk Path, the "Turtle Breath" skill.

You can adjust your various body indicators to a sleeping state while maintaining a keen insight into the outside world. It is not a profound skill that can be performed forcibly by relying on the mage's imitation ability.

Isabelle had no idea this craft existed.

But she understood what Aiwass meant—he was not asleep, he was pretending to be asleep.

So what am I going to do?

Isabel looked at Aiwass with searching eyes, and also lowered her voice: "What should I do? And... Mr. Hermes was so seriously injured, how long will it take for him to recover?"

"Four or five days at most, but I hope I can cure him today or tomorrow."

Aiwass glanced at Isabel and answered quickly.

——The possibility of letting him live until the end of the ceremony is not ruled out, but it is also possible to kill him within a day.

"However, before treatment, I still have something to say to you..."

Afterwards, Aiwass bowed respectfully to Isabel: "Her Royal Highness Princess... No, you should be called Her Majesty the Queen of Avalon now. Let's have a candid chat."

Isabel's heart moved, and her tone became colder: "Why, what's the matter?"

Following Aiwass's expressions and movements, Isabel's tone instantly became tougher under Isabel's impromptu performance.

She knew what Aiwass wanted her to play.

"I'm just a little confused...or, I just suddenly had an idea."

Aiwass sat on the edge of the bed, raised his head to look at Isabel, and said softly: "Is the Star Antimony Man's conspiracy a little too smooth?"

"……What do you mean?"

"——This is Xing Antimony's plan to replace you with a doll. Assassinate Queen Sofia, and then arrange a doll princess to replace the real Princess Isabel...

"I have investigated this conspiracy with the great detective Hermes before. He reported it to Queen Sophia, and I wrote to you, but both sides were blocked. But now I am thinking, is my letter really Have you ever been stopped?"

Aiwass looked at Isabel with burning eyes: "I'm wondering if there is another possibility - that the 'tied Isabel' mentioned by Ms. Shafia is indeed the real Isabel?"

"——You mean, I am the doll?"

Isabel sneered coldly: "Why do you think so?"

"Of course, there is another possibility. That is that the 'tied Isabel' is indeed a doll, but you who have been living in the Palace of Silver and Tin may not be the original Princess. It's just that she It’s a low-level doll with ‘ball joints’, and you are a new type of doll with better technology.”

Aiwass said seriously: "After all, according to my understanding...that Princess Isabel is a weak and naive little girl who has never received education from a monarch.

"Don't you think that you acted too calmly when Avalon was undergoing great changes?"

Indeed.

The consultant lying on the bed thought silently.

There is a huge gap between the current Isabel and the timid little girl in the imported screen - that girl looks shyer than Aurora, but the current Isabel looks even more aggressive than Her Majesty the Queen.

"...So that's the reason."

A look of boredom appeared on Isabel's face.

She glanced at Aiwass and said calmly: "I understand what you are thinking - I attended the banquet with my grandmother and was persecuted to leave. At this time, a new 'fake Isabel' appeared, so as long as I kill again When I go back, no one will think that I am the real Isabel. No one will consider whether there are two fake Isabel acting from the beginning... You are very smart to think of this."

"So? Isabel...'Your Majesty'?"

Aiwass' eyes were firm, and his tone was calm but half-sarcastic: "Can you give me a clear answer?"

Upon hearing this, the consultant's ears immediately pricked up.

"……snort."

Isabel sighed, her tone revealing loneliness and self-deprecation: "Do you know the curse of the royal family, Mr. Bishop?"

"heard about it."

"Each heir died gradually, and I was the only one left in the end. But in fact, my grandmother didn't understand this curse... She just didn't know whether it was done by the Star Antimony people or the Iris people.

"But she knew that there would definitely be one person left in Avalon in the end. So from the very beginning, she put her last hope in me.

"Since I can remember, I have been playing the role of 'Isabel' in the minds of the public, always maintaining a weak behavior that is not favored by anyone. Only in this way can I survive. Obviously, the Curse Master and the Assassin ignored me ...let me survive until the end.”

"...So that's it."

Aiwass murmured.

Isabel sneered: "Why do you believe me so easily? Why don't you ask why there must be one person left?"

"No need," Aiwass said solemnly, "because I know the ritual."

"……What?"

Isabel was truly startled.

——Do you want to tell the "Advisor" about the Shadow of Avalon ritual?

Her mind was a little behind Aiwas's thinking, but her body followed the rhythm without hesitation: "You are not talking about Merlin's..."

"National Protection Ceremony·Shadow of Avalon. The miracle ceremony opened by the great sage Merlin-it can be triggered when there is only one Du Lac left in the same era. Revive the sixth-level ancestor Lancelot I and kill all invaders in the territory."

"...Who told you about this ceremony?" Isabel's tone was low and dangerous.

"Of course it was Her Majesty Queen Sofia, otherwise I would never dare to mention it to you."

Aiwas said frankly: "I have mentioned to her many times that letting the curser act like this will only put Avalon in a desperate situation. Until not long ago, she told me about this ceremony.

"-And, entrusted you, Your Highness, to me."

Every word he said was true, so it seemed extremely sincere: "So when she suddenly said she wanted to get engaged to the Star Antimony people, I immediately felt something was wrong. It's more like she's asking me for help urgently because she can't speak... Now it seems that Her Majesty has indeed noticed the problem.

"Since Your Highness also knows the existence of the Shadow of Avalon, you are definitely not a puppet - I apologize for my previous guess. It was just a joke, please don't take it seriously. If you want to punish me, I will punish you after everything is settled."

-I see.

The consultant thought that the ambiguous relationship between Aiwass and Her Majesty Isabel was born at this time.

He always felt that if both of them were strong, it would be unreasonable for their relationship to become so close. And I didn't know when they started dating, but suddenly it felt like they were getting married.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it was just acting - their actual relationship was very tense, but they seemed very harmonious and intimate when they performed to outsiders.

In fact, they were just a power couple who restrained each other.

That "Miss Aleister" was probably not trying to steal a man, but protecting Aiwass.

That's right!

"... But from another perspective, I hope you are a puppet now."

Evans sighed and said bluntly: "I never knew that under your appearance, you would hide such toughness... even..."

"Cold-blooded, right," Isabel raised her eyebrows, "What are you afraid of? Why don't you dare to say it?"

"...Yes. When we met before, I always thought that 'Princess Isabel' should be a weak girl protected by me."

"What a joke. If I were so naive, I would probably have died long ago. If you observe carefully , you will find that I never eat with strangers - because no one can make me completely trust. "

Isabelle's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a charming but emotionless cold smile: "Why, are you disappointed now?"

She walked forward and stretched out a finger to lift Aiwas's chin: "Or... do you like weak little girls so much? A real queen can't touch the bishop's dedication?"

Her voice was slow and methodical, like the tone of Aiwas, the Minister without portfolio, at the round table meeting.

She leaned close to Aiwas's ear and whispered: "Or do you want me to prove to the bishop... Is this warm body not a doll? "

"... I dare not. "

" I think you are quite brave. "

Isabelle sneered: "Don't talk about that first - heal Mr. Hermes's injury, we are ready to leave. "

Hearing this, the consultant was finally able to confirm... The information from the "secret room" was indeed correct.

During this promotion ceremony, he did collect very important secret information that could never be obtained through normal channels.

The real Isabel is indeed very strong, but she is particularly good at disguising. This is the case with the extraordinary people of the Path of Beauty. Although there are some who are not good at acting at all, there are also some who are particularly good at acting.

But at the same time, there are some problems with the information -

Because they greatly underestimated Isabel's strength and danger!

A woman who has been disguising herself and pretending to be crazy since she was sensible, now that she finally stops disguising and shows her fangs, what kind of crazy actions will she make?

——The consultant even had a dangerous idea in his mind.

Could it be that Emma's loss of control came from Queen Isabel's deliberate induction?

She just wanted Emma to lose control and attack herself, so as to deceive the support of the Church!

Come to think of it, if Emma really wanted to kill Isabel, how could she survive?

Queen Isabel is less than 20 years old, how high can her level as an extraordinary person be? If Emma really wanted to attack Isabel, did she have to choose a time when Ligeia was by her side as a guard?

Just thinking about it, the consultant felt cold all over.

All this was Isabel's conspiracy!

Even in this world line, Xingti used a conspiracy to assassinate Queen Sophia and replace the fake princess to attack Avalon... It might fail.

——Because of the "Shadow of Avalon" ritual!

If their army really arrived at the Glass Island, I'm afraid this ritual would be triggered immediately.

At this time, Aiwas asked just in time: "We really have to leave, that Balrog is too dangerous... But where are we going?"

"Take me to the Theocracy."

"Leave Avalon? Don't we activate the Avalon Shadow ritual?" Aiwass asked back.

"...It depends on the situation."

Isabelle paused.

-- Does Aiwass mean to activate the Avalon Shadow?

A trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

But her tone was strong enough: "If the ritual is really needed, we have to report to the Theocracy first. Now we are considered victims and can get support and help from the Theocracy. But if the ritual is activated first, it may not be possible."

The consultant was shocked in his heart-it really is!

The Avalonians are too cunning, this is indeed a trap!

We must avoid Avalon! We must never provoke this crazy woman again!

I'm afraid there will be new traps waiting for us later-
