Chapter 387 Daji is also considered a senior
The position of Minister of State, a position with neither high nor low power, was suddenly appointed shortly before the Queen's death, obviously in an attempt to stabilize the regime.
Simply put, in order to prevent the new king from being too willful, the talented Aiwass was chosen to check and balance and provide support.
According to the political theory that Andre learned from Xingti, as the new queen, Isabel will definitely take the initiative to fight for the right to speak from Aiwas, who represents Queen Sofia's confidant.
Even if Aiwass was actually helping her, she had to suppress Aiwass, otherwise her voice would be obviously lower than Aiwass who was recognized by the two queens.
As a monarch, this is unacceptable.
At the beginning of his reign, there was a powerful official whom he could not control - especially since this official was young enough.
This is a very dangerous signal. If it is not controlled, it may lead to the snowballing of Aiwas's power, and even eventually lead to the theft of the entire regime.
In the end, I'm afraid even I will be involved.
But Queen Isabel did not keep her distance from Aiwass, nor did she suppress him.
Or even the opposite.
She showed an unprecedented intimacy and only included Aiwass in the photo.
——This attitude must have some political significance!
The painting of a new king ascending the throne is usually painted together with his entire team of trusted followers.
Queen Sofia was younger than Isabelle when she ascended the throne, but her painting includes six people—including the future Grand Arbitrator Meg and the then Grand Guardian. This team later became Queen Sofia's right-hand man in implementing various reform policies.
But if there is only one person... the attitude is very clear.
I can't trust anyone except Aiwass.
In other words.
The goal is to eliminate the ministers from the time of Queen Sofia!
"...But why isn't Queen Isabel afraid that Aiwass will betray her?"
Andre murmured, lost in thought.
unless……
The position of "Minister without Portfolio" was not authorized by Queen Sofia at all, but came from Isabel's decision when she was a princess!
From Miss Crawley's own account, she knew Aiwass three years ago, which was definitely earlier than Isabel... and at that time Aiwass was just the second son in the family.
While being the son of a founding father is certainly a high status, according to the crucial intelligence Andre has gathered, the Moriarty family is a purely adopted family. Only one heir is born in each generation, and the remaining descendants are stripped of the Moriarty name. This is precisely why the family has been passed down for so many years without collateral branches competing for the inheritance.
Then as long as Aiwass did not inherit the Moriarty family, he would just be "Aiwass" without a surname.
Miss Aleister Crowley could definitely bring him back to the stars!
—But it would be different if Aiwass were appointed Minister without Portfolio.
As a direct descendant of the royal family, Miss Crawley's status is tense and she would be suspected just by approaching him.
After her identity was exposed, she had to reveal her identity and show her closeness to Avalon in order to remove Aiwass from the incident.
This would also bring trouble to the family and prevent her from staying in Avalon... After all, she was born in the "Secret Chamber", and any contact with Aiwass, who was the Queen's confidant, would cause trouble for Aiwass.
So with just one simple move, Isabel forced Miss Crawley to either hurt Aiwass or leave Aiwass.
"Such a strong offensive..."
Andre's expression turned serious.
Just to seize Aiwass, the meticulous Queen Isabel directly drove Miss Crawley out of Glass Island by giving her the title of Minister without Portfolio, who had no real power, no department, and no employees!
And Aiwass, who was targeted by the Round Table, would become her excuse to purge the Round Table!
Combined with the previous intelligence, his personality profile of Isabel at this moment is that Isabel is undoubtedly an iron-fisted queen who is good at hiding, cruel and decisive, radical and scheming.
Andre has secretly investigated many times.
Isabel's classmates all said that she was quite timid and withdrawn at school, as cute as a small animal, and would even run away when she saw strangers - but looking at Isabel now, where is the impression of being weak and vulnerable?
If you think about it carefully, Aiwass took office as Minister without Portfolio just when the only other prince who could compete with her for the throne was cursed and died!
It was also from then on, after all of Isabel's brothers and sisters were assassinated, that she immediately became normal.
Is it possible for a person's nature to change in just one or two months?
Of course not.
So that can only be a disguise. A state of autism pretended in order to avoid communicating with others!
Why not communicate with others?
That must be because they are worried about touching the "eyes" around them!
Those eyes from the Star Antimony, the Iris, and the Round Table!
And according to Andre's investigation, Isabel seemed very intimate when she first met Aiwass. It was obvious that they had known each other for a long time.
As it happened, Aiwass disappeared for several months after graduating from high school.
After returning, he immediately became familiar with Isabel. Isabel even lent a villa under her name to Aiwass - it was a loan, but in fact it was a gift.
It is obvious that during the few months when investigation was impossible, Aiwass was with Princess Isabel!
By then, Aiwass had already become acquainted with Isabel and had sworn allegiance to the crown prince of Avalon. It was from then on that Aiwass suddenly began to appear in the newspapers!
“That’s it!”
Andre clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Everything makes sense now!"
The famous detective Sherlock Hermes, who knew all this, was taken away by Aiwass one night and never returned.
He once asked me to investigate the Moriarty family, and from me he learned the secret that all the Moriarty family members were adopted children. He also got some negative information about James Moriarty.
——Perhaps it was because Sherlock knew something he shouldn’t have known that he was killed by Moriarty!
According to another piece of intelligence, Aiwass personally brought a document and had the Griffin Minister of Avalon press his claw mark on it.
That can only be a power of attorney.
"……etc."
Andre's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Since Aiwass himself couldn't ride a griffin, why did he need the Griffin Minister's authorization?
Thinking of this, Andre was suddenly shocked.
Now Queen Isabelle is obviously making some plans, but he can't connect these events at all!
...They seem so scattered that it almost seems like a coincidence.
But is that possible?
This is impossible.
She was able to deliberately hide her talents to avoid the Iris Man's curse, and now she can hide her plans under seemingly coincidental events.
Those old newspapers and intelligence related to Aiwass were integrated in his mind, and various associations kept emerging, and then he rejected them one by one.
Newspapers have reported numerous times that Aiwass has been kidnapped and attacked multiple times by the Noble Reds and their demons...
After Aiwass became a member of Lloyd's, the president of Lloyd's who attempted to steal the country was suddenly investigated by the Inspectorate and eventually secretly executed...
Without using the Inspectorate, they somehow uncovered Minister Droste's identity as a spy and even captured him alive...
The Iris Kingdom unreasonably acknowledged the assassination and curse of the Avalon royal family and paid a heavy price...
A person favored by the Lord of the Crown, who appeared out of nowhere and could use the "Spirit of Words", looked only eight or nine years old, but possessed the power of the fifth level... Either he had dragon blood, or he was simply a giant dragon in human form...
On the eve of Queen Sophia's death, he bypassed the Round Table meeting and used the "death penalty" to execute a senior minister suspected of being a Star Spy, and arrested and imprisoned several ministers...
The Minister without any subordinates and no departmental affairs to attend to, yet he had the Griffin Minister personally authorize a confidential document...
After obtaining the information that Aleister Crowley was a Star Antimony spy, he immediately and abnormally announced it and publicized it widely...
Mobilize the Avalonians to develop a sense of superiority and confidence over Star Antimony...
Andre only felt a chill in his heart.
Past information quickly connected in his mind.
A bold but reasonable idea suddenly emerged in Detective Andre's mind -
"Avalon is preparing for war and using violence to stabilize the domestic situation!
"—Queen Isabelle is sending the Griffin Legion to launch an air raid on Star Antimony, and the Iris people have already joined forces with them!"
Does this message need to be passed back?
His expression changed again and again, but he finally made up his mind.
Don’t send it to Xing Antimony, but send it to the Mage Tower first!
The political situation in Xingti is currently in turmoil. If this is a proactive war, it would be fine, but if it is a passive aggression, it is likely to cause internal division.
Avalon's Griffin Legion was too powerful in terms of offensive power, and the Star Antimony people lacked any countermeasures against them. In other words, if the Mage Tower suspended its research on "anti-Griffin weapons," the Star Antimony people would be completely defenseless against the Griffin Legion...
But he is ultimately just eyes, not a brain.
He had no power to think... Therefore, Andre planned to pass the information to the Mage Tower first, and then see their opinions and decide whether to pass it to Xingti, so that Xingti could prepare for war in advance.
The capital of Xingti is still to the south of the Iris Kingdom, not directly adjacent to Avalon - if they want to wage war on Avalon, they need to borrow the port of the former Black Hawk Duchy to launch a raid.
But if the Iris people and the Avalon people form an alliance, Avalon can easily hide the Griffin Legion within the territory of the Iris Kingdom and launch a surprise attack on them!
With the griffin's incredible speed, if they launched a surprise attack from the south of the Iris Kingdom, they would reach the Star Antimony capital in less than an hour.
"War... is coming?"
Andre murmured softly.
His expression became heavy and serious.
If this information is true, then the Narcissus Principality must take the initiative to launch a rebellion.
After all, Narcissus was in the northeastern corner of Star, east of Avalon, very close to Avalon. If Avalon deployed some of its troops to the east to guard against their mage corps, Narcissus might be dragged into the battle and forced to bleed for the Star people.
So now comes the question.
When exactly will the Avalonians launch their massive attack?
If they misjudge the timing, their rebellion will most likely be suppressed!
"We can only continue to observe Minister Moriarty!"
Detective Andre had a serious expression and was ready to sacrifice his life for his country.
Elsewhere, in the Hall of Silver and Tin, Aiwass was combing Isabel's hair because Isabel was about to go to the Round Table Hall to preside over her first meeting.
"Is that the way it's made up?"
Aiwass asked uncertainly, "Are you sure, Lily?"
Lily said coldly, "That's right. Then coil it up and pass it through this side..."
Isabel was still a little uneasy: "Are you really not going to the meeting, Aiwass? You can come..."
"I know I'm qualified."
Aiwass chuckled. "But I want them to invite me."
“…Then what about me?”
"This way, Isabel."
Aiwass suggests: "If you don't know how to respond, just keep a straight face and say, 'I'll think about it.' Then write the question down. When you get back, ask me about it, and then give your formal response the next day."
"Is this okay..."
"It's okay, trust me."
Aiwass comforted.
But he always felt something was wrong.
...I always feel that this is a kind of behind-the-scenes rule.
Could it be that Sherlock was right back then? Could it be that he really wanted to seduce his master?
However, Aiwass soon settled down again.
——Fuck, what are you afraid of.
I am called a powerful official!
Without a doubt, it is also a kind of big character! And it sounds very authoritative!
