Chapter 392 The Strongest Detective is the Prophet
The Minister of Camelot sighed deeply.
——He still said it.
Perhaps because he had stayed in Star Antimony for too long, Griffith had forgotten... There were many things that could not be said in Avalon.
Minister Griffith had been visibly furious after being harshly rebuked by Isabel today, but now he couldn't help but speak out in this private meeting.
He didn't dare direct his hostility toward Isabel, so he directed it directly at Aiwass, the man who was advising her. "In my opinion, we should dismiss this Minister without Portfolio first. The reason is obvious—he's suspected of colluding with the Xingti spies."
"Ms. Aleister has been certified innocent by the Great Guardian."
Someone reminded him quietly, "Are you planning to lay off the Great Guardian as well?"
“People change, but positions never change.”
Minister Griffith said without hesitation, "Who can say that those who are fine today will be fine tomorrow? Besides, he is a Moriarty after all, and he is a figurehead of Lloyd's! Even if he is not persuaded by the Star Antimony people, won't he be persuaded by those businessmen?"
"As long as he doesn't show up, there won't be any flaws. He doesn't say anything, and he doesn't have any attitude. If you attack him, others will drag you in to attack him too."
The Minister of Education calmly explained, "How can you deny someone leave? What excuse are you looking for to fire him?"
But the new Trade Minister's attitude was very firm: "You can have any excuse. Wasn't his brother Edward unable to inherit the family because of his position as Inspector General and the principle of recusation? Even though he has the position of Minister without Portfolio and can handle disciplinary issues for the Knights, he shouldn't be allowed to inherit the Moriarty family.
"He should either give up his position as Minister without Portfolio or hand over the title of Patriarch to his sister—that makes sense, right? If his sister inherits the title of Patriarch, she can also attend the Round Table Hall meeting.
"He may be a fox, but what about his sister? It seems like his sister has never seen anyone.
"And I have another piece of information—his sister was suspected to have once been a phantom demon egg, but was cured or suppressed through special means. If this proves true, then old Moriarty's concealment of the truth and even bringing her into the Temple of Silver and Tin will be a serious crime!"
Griffith is very aggressive today...
Looking at the Minister of Trade who was talking incessantly, Minister Camelot narrowed his eyes slightly.
The old fox vaguely sensed something was wrong.
——Isabel just attacked him verbally, and Aiwass had never even met him.
Where does his strong hostility towards Aiwass come from?
They hadn't even been discussing Aiwass before; Minister Griffith had brought it up himself. They had been discussing preparations for war and the Star Antimony issue, but suddenly it had turned into denouncing Aiwass.
Although Minister Camelot was somewhat suppressed... objectively speaking, Minister Camelot believed that there was nothing wrong with what Aiwass did.
Isabel's personality was definitely not capable of such an instantaneous transformation, which meant she must have close advisors advising her. This was perfectly normal; what monarch didn't have their own confidants and favorites?
It has not harmed their interests, nor the interests of the country. In fact, from the current perspective, the effect is still positive.
In this situation, risking the wrath of Queen Isabel by attacking Aiwass... is not only completely unnecessary, but could also lead to disaster.
This is not a rational approach. Furthermore, Minister Griffiths is from the Foreign Office, so he must be aware of this common sense.
Like a clown suddenly starting to yell.
What is he trying to hide? Or is he trying to mislead?
The Camelot Minister narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that he would have to write to the Queen to report the matter.
Because he didn't know how many people would realize that something was wrong and write letters.
If no one wrote a letter, then there would be no problem. But if someone did write a letter, and didn't... then it means that either their ability is flawed or their stance is flawed.
It's just like a prisoner who can get a reduced sentence if he reports his accomplices.
——And he will definitely be the first one to report it.
certainly……
Perhaps the first person to see this letter was not Her Majesty the Queen, but Minister Moriarty.
Just as the Minister of Camelot expected.
In the evening, the Minister of Camelot visited the Hall of Silver and Tin. However, before he could even enter the main hall, he was turned back by palace staff. He was forced to hand the secret letter to Master Agnese, who specifically instructed that it must be opened personally by His Majesty.
Janice then handed the letter to Aiwass.
At the moment, Aiwass was in the study, helping Isabel sign some documents. Most of them were unnecessary for her to see, so Aiwass simply handled them. Those that did require her review, Aiwass sorted them out and would hand them over to Isabel once she woke up.
It was a national week of mourning, and there was no entertainment to be had. So Aiwass decided not to go home and instead stayed at the Hall of Silver and Tin to help Isabel.
Once Mycroft took office as Lord Chancellor of the Great Seal, this job could be handed over to him. Normally, Isabel could just move the stack of documents from the "Unprocessed" section to the "Please Handle to the Lord Chancellor of the Great Seal" section without even looking at them. After all, if there was anything truly urgent, Mycroft would definitely come and inform Isabel.
The characteristic of the dusk path is the fear of trouble.
And he's a smart guy. The characteristic of smart people who are afraid of trouble is that they don't want to take the blame - although he certainly doesn't enjoy doing this kind of work, there is indeed no one who can do it better than him.
On the other hand, while helping Isabel sign the documents, Aiwass can also take the opportunity to find the information he is concerned about.
This kind of opportunity is not available to ordinary people.
But he was not a minister after all—at this moment, when the Minister of the National Seal had not yet taken office, he was temporarily acting as the Minister of the National Seal, which was also within his normal scope of authority. It was not considered an overstepping of his authority.
"Is Isabel still awake?"
Aiwass asked casually as he opened the letter.
"Little Isa isn't asleep, she just fell asleep."
Janice was clearly distressed. "She's been incredibly busy today. She was busy all night last night, and she had a meeting this morning. After a nap at noon, she had to get up to put on makeup and give interviews to reporters. In the evening, she had to accompany the bishop to deliver Sophia's coffin to the Chapel of Sainte-Guinevere, and she just got back. She didn't even eat before she went to bed."
"She has to eat," Aiwass thought for a moment. "I'll wake her up and feed her. I'll also use the illumination spell to warm Isabel up... just a little precaution, don't let her get sick."
"Indeed. Also, remember to call him 'Your Majesty' in front of outsiders."
Yannis reminded.
Aiwass smiled. "I know. We're the only ones here."
As he spoke, he lowered his head to read the secret letter sent by the Privy Councilor. Janice also stood behind Aiwass, her hands on Aiwass's shoulders, and she lowered her head slightly to read the letter with him.
As they watched, Aiwass and Janice raised their eyebrows almost at the same time.
Seeing that Yulia was mentioned in the letter, Aiwas narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corners of his mouth with a forced smile.
"What do you think, Aiwass?"
Janice asked.
Aiwass pondered for a moment, then asked instead, "Should Isabel go on the Avalon cruise tomorrow?"
"right."
Yanis replied, "We'll be touring all the major cities of Avalon within five days. We'll have half a day to rest when we get back, and then Sophia's funeral will be held the next day."
"That means Isabel won't be able to attend the Round Table meeting this week..."
Aiwass murmured softly.
He seemed more like he was recalling something than thinking.
This made Janice curious.
"I remember that Minister Griffith was once the ambassador to Xingti, right?"
Aiwass asked Janice.
Janice looked at him strangely: "How should I know?"
"Never mind, I remember...it's him."
Then, Aiwass snapped his fingers and said, "Great, I have an idea."
"What?" Janice asked with interest.
She wasn't nervous at all.
Or rather... after Sophia's death, she was about to leave Avalon.
Once Isabel's life settles down, she will move on to the next stage of her life. Therefore, these troubles in Avalon have little to do with her.
"Have Isabel write a reply. Just say that I have received your letter and read it carefully. Although there are some minor deviations in the content, I have understood your meaning."
"……'you'?"
Janice repeated, "But you only received one letter."
“Just write it like this.”
Aiwass shook his head slightly, then narrowed his eyes: "Then...
"Lily, do me a favor."
Silently, Lily emerged from the shadows of the room.
"What's up?"
She asked.
"Small matter, being a 'Minister of Transport'."
Aiwass replied, "Take Shadow Demon to the Minister of Trade's house for me. I'll go talk to the reporter for an interview later."
"Kill him?"
Lily asked without hesitation, "Or kill them all?"
"...Oh, there's no need to kill."
Aiwass was a little embarrassed.
I don't know if it's the influence of the Path of Love, but compared to last month, Lily's murderous intent has become more obvious.
He warned: "Just let the Shadow Fiend destroy some things. Be careful not to get caught."
Aiwass said, adding: "Of course, you can kill him if you want. He is not important anyway.
"... He's just a pawn anyway."
Aiwass narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.
Janice's eyes widened.
She obviously realized that Aiwass had guessed who was behind this.
This interested her greatly.
Because they clearly received the same information at the same time, but now Janice hasn't even sorted things out, while Aiwass has guessed the truth in an instant.
"I really want to dig your brain open and see what's hidden inside..."
Janice couldn't help but ask, "What did you guess? Can you tell me about your reasoning?"
Aiwass said helplessly: "This is not reasoning, just a guess... Just treat me as a prophet."
"I don't believe it. Even a fifth-level prophet wouldn't be able to see the future and the truth so easily, right?"
Janice came over and said, "Tell me quickly, how did you deduce this?"
Aiwass just shook his head repeatedly.
He couldn't say it either.
Because Aiwass really didn't have any evidence, and he still didn't know Minister Griffith's purpose.
But for a true "prophet", this kind of thing is actually unnecessary.
The basis for his judgment is simple.
Because that "Ambassador Griffith" entered the country less than a year after Avalon was destroyed.
As a loyal follower of Count Leipzig, as a Moon Child.
The Count of Leipzig was the culprit who spread the false identity of "Miss Aleister".
Aiwass remembers it clearly.
——Among the drop items of "Ambassador Griffith" is the torso of the "Sasha Suit".
