Chapter 383 Be careful Isabel!
——The true identity of “Demon Slayer” Aiwass Moriarty is the mysterious Minister without Portfolio!
——The "Miss Aleister" who had saved Aiwass before was actually a spy from Xingtan. After her identity was discovered, she attacked Minister Moriarty!
——The newly appointed Minister without Portfolio was assassinated by the Star Antimony people and was seriously injured and dying!
——Shocking secret! The heir of the Moriarty family is imprisoned by his lover!
——How did the daughter of Earl Crawley become an agent of the Avalon royal family?
——The youngest minister of Avalon and the daughter of a rebellious earl, a forbidden love affair that is not accepted by the world!
——Urgent secret report from the Round Table: The Minister of the Navy is committing treason!
——The new Grand Arbitrator is a silver dragon transformed into human form?
The next morning, the front pages of major newspapers were basically all about the big event that happened yesterday.
There are approaches to the incident from various angles, and the degree of authenticity varies.
The most outrageous one said with certainty that Aiwass had broken bones and was being rescued by the bishop and his team, and was still in danger; there was also a vivid story about how Aiwass and Aleister met, got to know each other, and fell in love; some people said that Aleister was being tortured, but they had not yet revealed where Aiwass was being held.
The contents of these news items are even conflicting with each other.
It can be said that each has his own serious illness.
What the Glass Steps published was Aleister's "speech" before the reporters. Today's magic picture, the GIF that comes with the Glass Steps, is Miss Aleister in an Empire State dress, gracefully spreading her hands.
It was not until now that people knew what the so-called "Miss Aleister" looked like.
That noble and cool elegance and beauty was truly unforgettable. It even made the idea of Aiwass being seduced by a foreign woman seem more plausible.
——You are confused even when you go up.
Not to mention, the "I love him, I imprison him" attitude has aroused people's imagination.
Because Queen Sofia was dying, the gloomy and tense atmosphere that permeated the entire Glass Island was temporarily overshadowed by this shocking news.
Because a national mourning period could begin at any moment, all entertainment activities have been suspended. In this era, various activities and performances require a long period of advance publicity and organization.
If the mourning week arrived just as the event was about to begin... it would undoubtedly cause enormous economic losses. Consequently, dance troupes, theater companies, and circuses had all halted their performances, and concert halls had reduced their capacity to one-third. In the current lack of entertainment, this had undoubtedly become a popular joke among the people of Avalon.
But there is no possibility that the heat will subside.
Just one day later, the Great Guardian accepted an interview with a reporter from the Glass Steps newspaper. He told her some of what "Miss Aleister" had said when he was interrogating her.
Especially the information unknown to outsiders, such as Miss Aleister's past cohabitation with ordinary people and her three-year acquaintance with Aiwass. And also the part of the oath she swore before the Crown—mainly the three clauses: "If war breaks out, I will stand on Avalon's side," "I love Aiwass as I love myself," and "I have never used human materials and never will."
——The Great Guardian himself actually doesn’t want to talk about these things, as they all come from Ligeia’s orders.
Because he always felt that this involved Miss Crawley's privacy, especially the fact that she had lived with an ordinary person, and revealing it might damage her reputation.
But Ligeia said that this had been approved by Aleister himself - and that these remarks were necessary.
Its purpose is to counterattack the Xingti people.
Since they acknowledged that "Aleister Crowley" did not exist, they had to bear the consequences for the Crowley family because of her various actions and attitudes.
And this story is very much in line with the preferences of Iris people.
The forbidden, painful, and mutually tormenting love between a young minister of Avalon and the daughter of Count Star-Anti—this theme would probably make for a great play or novel. It would simultaneously satisfy the Iris people's thirst for romance, break the stereotype of Avalonians as staid and boring... and, most importantly, provide a powerful diatribe against the Star-Anti people. It's sure to be a hit.
Once this matter reaches Xingti, it will put pressure on the Crowley family.
Especially the line, "If war breaks out between Star and Avalon, I will side with Avalon." This attitude will undoubtedly displease the people of Star. If war really breaks out between Star and Avalon at this time, I'm afraid many Star people will be shocked—they can't see the deeper reasons, only the most popular and trending stories at the moment.
——There is no doubt that this is an Aiwass-style strategy.
If it works, it'll be a real nuisance to them; if it doesn't, there won't be any negative consequences. Unlike Queen Sofia, who favors meticulous planning and tightly linked moves, Aiwass enjoys playing this kind of "casual chess." He digs holes in the road for no reason; if you dig too many holes, someone will fall into them.
On the other hand, it was covered up by the gossip craze that was rising in Avalon.
Aiwass and his team's next plan is already being implemented.
The other two leaders were neutral and didn't care about the matter. In this case, the Grand Arbiter and the Grand Guardian agreed, and it was in line with the Queen's wishes during her lifetime, or when she was awake... so neither of them wanted to interfere too much.
They had already mixed the news of the "Secretary of the Navy committing espionage and treason" into a slew of gossip and released it. Relying on the intelligence the Secretary of the Navy had spilled, Ligeia quickly identified those ministers who had been recruited by the Star Antimony people.
Afterwards, she went directly to the court to conduct an interrogation and trial. Throughout the entire process, Aiwass, as the Minister without Portfolio, did not appear in person; everything was the personal action of the Grand Arbitrator.
Among them there is indeed a big shot who is still in contact with the Star Antimony people and is ready to run away at any time - he is the Minister of Maritime Affairs, that is, the Minister of Naval Affairs.
He had close ties with Devis Ramos and also had a good relationship with the former Minister of Trade, Drost. During this interrogation, Ligeia uncovered one of the reasons for the Avalonian Navy's swift defeat in the Ten Days' War: the Minister of the Sea had sold Avalon's naval deployment maps to the Star Antimony people.
Ligeia was immediately furious and sentenced the man to death on the spot.
The power of judgment granted by the Silver Crown Dragon allows authoritarian royal family members to arbitrarily execute disloyal and rebellious officials.
——A huge, gorgeous and complex silver lightsaber appeared in the afternoon sky in full view of everyone.
Because of the strange sight, there was even some chaos on Glass Island for a moment.
Only the elders of Avalon knew what it was.
They were all moved and walked out of the house one by one, staring blankly at the sky outside.
That is the [Death Penalty].
The highest level of legal magic. Once locked, it is impossible to resist, dodge, or parry.
However, it is not usually used in combat, but rather for executions. It is a special power of the Grand Arbiter.
It is only used when a sitting minister or a direct member of the royal family needs to be sentenced to death.
It has been a long time since Meg used the power of the Grand Arbitrator.
So much so that people even forget that the Great Arbitrator has such power and authority.
Now, the young dragon lady named "Ligeia" is obviously much more brutal than Meg... This may also mean the attitude of the new king.
This forced the spies hiding on Glass Island to start considering whether Isabel was as well-behaved and harmless as she appeared.
——Obviously, this is impossible.
Among those she was close to, Aiwass, Shylock, Ligeia... every one of them acted rudely, completely different from the attitude during Sophia's reign.
How could they dare to act like this without the instruction of Isabel, the future new king?
Did they quietly sideline the new king?
How is that possible!
It was well known that the Hermes family and the Great Guardian's Barton family were both die-hard royalists. They would never do such a thing.
There is only one explanation.
——Isabelle’s previous attitude was just a disguise!
So these spies from Xingti and Iris solemnly wrote down what they saw and heard in secret letters and sent them back to their country.
They issued a very sharp and solemn warning, which was a very reasonable inference drawn after analyzing the intelligence.
Beware of Isabelle du Lac!
This young queen has a ruthless approach that is completely different from her appearance, and a very strong desire to attack!
It’s a little late, but today’s update is 7,000 words!
Asking for votes at the beginning of the month~
