Chapter 192 If You Say So
“…Huh?”
Yulia, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was suddenly stunned.
The door of the princess's bedroom was quite thick, which made it difficult for her to hear clearly.
However, she seemed to have vaguely heard...
"...I'll go with you to kill someone?"
ah?
What is my brother talking about?
Yulia looked up in confusion and exchanged glances with Lily.
The two exchanged glances quickly.
——Did I hear it wrong?
——No, but it doesn’t matter.
Lily nodded slightly, then shook her head and raised her finger to make a silencing gesture.
Yulia nodded, then put her ear back down again.
"What, what's the matter?"
David, who was standing upright with his arms folded, saw the sudden change in the two girls' expressions and immediately became curious about the content of the conversation in the room.
But Dad said that knights cannot steal.
Stealing money, stealing things, eavesdropping or stealing people are all prohibited...
...But I'm really curious!
What are they talking about? Why does Yulia's expression become so complicated?
David's heart suddenly became itchy.
Although I can't eavesdrop, is it okay to ask the person who is eavesdropping?
"What on earth is Mr. Aiwass talking about?"
The knight asked quietly, lowering his voice.
However, Yulia completely ignored him, as if she didn't even hear him speak.
Lily noticed his expression, and considerately took half a step back, making room for him with a half-smile.
But the knight hesitated for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, bravely and resolutely rejecting the bad temptation.
——Although he regretted it immediately after refusing, at least at that moment, David was still proud of himself for having the guts to refuse.
...That being said, I became even more curious.
Just as David was still hesitating at the door, a scream came from inside the house.
Because Isabel finally put down her paintbrush and looked back at Aiwass.
As a result, she was so frightened that her legs almost went limp and she sat back down——
I saw Aiwas's wheelchair lying alone in the distance.
And Aiwass, who was standing behind her, was surrounded by black smoke.
It wasn't the black smoke that rose from burning something, but more like the reverse of the white icy air emitted by ice.
The smoke seemed to have its own consciousness, as if it was showing off something - it turned into black snakes of energy, wrapped around Aiwass, stretched out from the collar and wrapped around the back of Aiwass's head, lifting Aiwass's hair.
The shadow beneath Aiwass was boiling like a pot of soup, bubbling and gurgling, as if something was about to be formed but then shattered.
Seeing this scene, Isabel's first reaction was to be shocked.
It’s not that he was worried that Aiwass was going to murder him...but he was worried that Aiwass’s mind was controlled by some demon and took away his mind.
Soon, she realized that Aiwass was revealing a secret to her.
"Since you're going to reveal your secret to me, Isabel," Aiwass said softly, with a slight smile on his lips, "I'll reveal mine to you too. That way we're even."
The tone was exactly the same as usual, but for some reason... Isabel always felt that there was something evil in these words.
As if to echo Aiwass's words, a shadow emerged from Aiwass's sleeve. Like a black snake, it gently wrapped around Isabel's slender, white neck, lifting her head slightly. It was as if it were hooking its chin with a finger.
“Tsk.”
Aiwass reached out and patted his own shadow with some dissatisfaction, and it immediately shrank back.
Seeing this scene, Isabel reacted immediately.
Could it be...
Is Aiwass "Miss Aleister"?
——She guessed right, Aiwass is Aleister!
In an instant, all the information came together in her mind, and those strange things immediately made sense.
No wonder, when she painted Aiwass's portrait before, she thought the sunset was very suitable for him.
The fiery red and purple glow was a reflection of Aiwas's inner world.
He is born on the twin paths of devotion and transcendence, and is also a righteous demon possessed by a shadow demon... and there is no "Miss Aleister" in this world!
Thinking of this, Isabel suddenly became excited, even forgetting her previous fear and depression.
But she was also worried about Aiwass.
——This is the Temple of Silver and Tin, no one will discover it, right?
As for the possibility of being murdered by Aiwass, she had never thought about it. The reason why Isabel couldn't make friends was because she was too sensitive to the malice of others.
Even between good friends, evil thoughts would occasionally arise. Although those evil thoughts were quickly dispelled by reason and never revealed... But for Isabel, she could vaguely feel the moment the thought arose.
If you know that the other person also hates you and is taking advantage of you, it will be difficult to ignore it and pretend that you never knew about it.
It would be better to know nothing from the beginning.
But she had never felt this way with Aiwass.
There was no malice, no jealousy, no greed... The only thing that made her a little uncomfortable was the occasional "pity" that Aiwass had, which was close to fatherly love and a bit condescending.
Although Isabel was usually a bit weak, she didn't really like others looking at her with pity. It would make her realize that she did need to rely on others. But she actually wanted to make herself stronger.
"Wait a minute, Aiwass..."
Isabel suddenly said, "Don't talk yet..."
Although she was in her own bedroom, Isabel looked around like a thief.
When she saw the "window" that Janice had drawn for her in the room, her eyes paused slightly and her expression suddenly became a little embarrassed and nervous.
——The teacher is not watching this, is he?
This thought came to her mind.
But as soon as this thought occurred to Isabel, she immediately felt as if someone was really watching her, eavesdropping on her conversation. She felt a little uncomfortable all over, as if she had put on a sweater without wearing any underwear.
So she put on a stern face, made a solemn gesture to Aiwass to keep quiet, and then tiptoed slowly to the door. She listened at the door for a while, and found that there was no sound outside. Then she opened the door a crack and looked around quietly.
Fortunately, there was no one there.
Then she closed the door, leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.
"...Am I the first one to know this, Aiwass?"
Isabel trotted back and asked in a curious but nervous whisper, "Are you going to get caught? Do you want me to... help you hide?"
"It's okay. Her Majesty the Queen knows about this."
Aiwass said briefly: "But not many other people know... For example, Sherlock and the others don't know.
"Remember to help me hide."
"I will!"
Isabel felt her heart pounding, as if she had done something bad, and answered seriously.
In fact, if the Queen had not directly exposed Aiwass's disguise... he would never have revealed the identity of "Aleister" at this time.
He also wanted to take it out to amuse Sherlock, David and Isabel when he had nothing to do.
Julia and Lily both knew about this. Janice had the ability and habit of spying through paintings, so she must have known everything. The bishop was a clever man, and Aiwass hadn't thought of hiding it from them, so he must have known too.
The rest of the people probably don't know the relationship between Aiwass and Aleister.
For example, Edward, Sherlock, David and Isabel.
Now that the Queen knew about this and hadn't reacted much, there was no real need for him to hide his identity. After all, if he told them clearly, they would definitely side with Aiwass—it was mainly Aiwass's bad taste.
Aiwass has a bad temper and wants to play some pranks on his friends. But he doesn't want to be too bad and damage his friendship...so it's fun to create a new identity and say ambiguous things to make his friends misunderstand.
—I didn't lie to you on purpose. I told you the truth. It's just that the truth isn't complete.
And now, since Isabel seems to be in a bad mood, why not give her some information to distract her.
The so-called "ultimate move" shouldn't be kept for too long...if it's too long, it'll become boring. Especially since Isabel is quite smart, she might figure it out quickly, and the Queen might even mention it to her.
If she knew about this first, and Aiwass revealed the truth to her later, it would be somewhat embarrassing and ugly. It would be better to reveal the mystery now and bring some surprises.
Magic is most effective when it is performed when the opponent does not understand the principle or even knows what will happen next.
——And the effect is indeed very significant.
Isabel no longer cared about her fear. Her mind was now full of Aiwass and Aleister.
It feels like I have changed from the online depression mode to the melon-eating mode.
If I explore her past now, it shouldn't make her feel sad and scared anymore, right?
Although it may be a bit disappointing, curiosity and fear, excitement and sadness can offset each other.
"In exchange," Aiwass said softly, "now let me see your secret?"
"……good."
Isabel's expression softened slightly, her eyes no longer sparkling like before, but not as dull as before either.
And just like in school as usual, I returned to a relatively normal state.
Under Aiwas's gaze, she opened her drawer with her key and took out a thick notebook.
"This is a diary left by my family..."
She whispered, "From eleven years ago until now, eight people's diaries are here."
"In the same diary?"
Aiwass asked curiously, but didn't touch it.
He asked politely, "Can I see it?"
"Just for you to see."
Isabel placed her hands on her knees and said seriously, "Because this is the version I copied...I'm the one who wrote it."
She tried to sit up straight and pretended to be nonchalant. "Of course, there's also my diary at the end. You don't have to read that part."
If you say so, then this matter cannot be said in this way.
Aiwass thought.
——If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have wanted to watch it. But now that you told me, I actually want to watch it a little bit.
Thanks to Tianze Law for feeding the three leaders, and thanks to Lightning Silver Wolf for feeding the leader~
I seem to have a cold... Chapter 2 will be a little late.
