Chapter 74 White Dance Shoes Club
In fact, Aiwass was not surprised that Isabel came to see him.
Isabel always longed to have a true friend, but whether it was the curse that broke out in her at some unknown time, her status, or her own character flaws, it made this very difficult.
Others either didn't dare approach her or didn't know how. The few who dared to brave the curse and force their way to Isabel were likely those with ulterior motives.
Extraordinary people who are adaptable to the path of beauty must have very strong spiritual perception and perception abilities - they are the kind of people who can vaguely perceive the inner attitudes of others and the beauty of the details of all things before they embark on the path.
There's no reason for it, nor is it some kind of knowledge or technique. Instead, it relies on pure "intuition" that is hard to explain.
Those who wanted to take advantage of Isabel's melancholy and loneliness for some purpose would be easily caught by Isabel. Even if their disguise and acting were strong enough to deceive her intuition, she still had teacher Janice as a counselor.
And Aiwass, who has been recognized by Janice, has passed the character review; because of the experience in the dream and the pleasant conversation they had over the meal, she is no longer nervous when facing Aiwass.
In other words, now Aiwass is the only friend Isabel can interact with normally.
Whether it's to show off friends to others, or to demonstrate that "I have friends too", or even just to play with Aiwass...Isabelle will definitely come.
Compared to Aiwass, Isabel seemed more like the "transfer student." Aiwass became the only acquaintance she knew in this unfamiliar school.
What Aiwass didn't expect was that she would come so quickly and so urgently.
And what surprised Aiwas the most was - how did Isabel know he was here?
An hour ago, he didn't even know he would be here!
This wasn't arranged by her eldest brother Edward. Instead, after receiving Edward's mission, Haena realized she couldn't stay with Aiwass forever... so she decided to use her prestige to help Aiwass become familiar with her.
In simple terms, it was to express her attitude of "I'm protecting this child." This was completely a spur-of-the-moment decision on her part.
The Royal Law University covers a large area. Walking from the sixth department's School of Arts to the fourth department's School of Theology would take at least an hour.
If Isabel didn't have a clear purpose, she would never have gotten here no matter how she wandered.
After Aiwass raised the question, Isabel's face froze.
After hesitating for a while, he gave a hesitant but honest answer: "I knew you would come to school today, and I asked the teacher... The teacher said you were here.
"The teacher also said that you were giving a lecture to the students. I was curious... so I wanted to come and take a look."
Isabel said with some regret: "But I seem to be late. When I got here, you had already finished class."
Aiwass understood.
It turned out that Janice had seen it in paintings. Indeed, the university corridors and classrooms were filled with portraits of various celebrities. And those paintings were like her eyes.
No wonder Her Royal Highness the Princess was a little hesitant.
This was voyeurism after all—she was worried that she would get angry or alienate herself because of it.
...but this is completely unnecessary worry.
How could he be angry about something like this? Isabel was really too sensitive.
However, Aiwass didn't directly say "I don't care about this" or something like that. Because in this situation, even if he said it, she might not believe it. At most, she would understand it as "I'm just saying it politely to avoid embarrassment."
Although it will not damage Aiwass's image, it will make her feel more guilty and worried.
Therefore, Aiwass directly and lightly passed over the topic, directly expressing his attitude that he really didn't care:
"Your Highness, do you have no classes this morning?"
"I'm on leave."
Isabel answered without hesitation, "This class is vocal music... I'm a good student in this class, so it's okay to take a day off once in a while."
Aiwass was somewhat helpless: "That's not necessary..."
Hearing their conversation, Professor Bud behind Aiwass was suddenly stunned.
Princess Isabel...isn't she the one who loves singing the most?
His eyes fell on his new student, with a complicated look.
“That’s right!”
Isabel suddenly thought of something and her eyes lit up.
She interrupted Aiwass and smiled at him and Lily: "The house I gave you... looks okay, doesn't it?"
"I haven't settled in yet, Your Highness."
Aiwass said gently, "I just arrived at the school and haven't seen it yet. But I took my luggage there first."
"After dinner, I'll take you there, okay?"
Isabel quickly added, "If you have an appointment at noon, then the afternoon... or evening is also fine."
...She was really afraid of being rejected by herself, and was also afraid of causing trouble to others.
Aiwass was clearly aware of this.
So he simply looked directly at his old classmate John Eden. Isabel followed his gaze and looked over.
In an instant, the other students who were watching the fun also looked at Little John.
Little John was stunned for a moment when he was suddenly the focus of so many eyes.
He felt a chill down his spine, pressure building, and his body became so stiff he couldn't speak.
——At that time, Aiden felt as if he could understand why Her Royal Highness the Princess was always so cautious in her words and actions.
When he was stared at silently by so many people with eyes that were meaningless but seemed to be able to guess their thoughts, he didn't dare to move or say a word.
"By the way, Aiden..."
In the extremely silent atmosphere, Aiwass asked, "You just came to me, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"I……"
Aiden hesitated to speak. He felt the gazes around him grow heavier.
Do I have it... or shouldn't I have it?
Aiden scratched his head in distress, looked at Princess Isabel's expression, and replied hesitantly: "You could say it's not..."
"Then there is still."
"Oh, no, no, no... I just have something small to ask you. It's about something mentioned in a novel! It's not urgent..."
Aiden was sweating profusely.
Her Royal Highness the Princess obviously wants to go out and play with Aiwass. If he says that he really has something to do at this time, wouldn’t it seem a little inconsiderate?
Forget it, at worst I'll just talk about what I talked about in Aiwass's class tonight...
...Hey, wait?
Or should I just bring Aiwass over and tell the story for me?
At this point, Aiden suddenly remembered what he was going to say, and his words immediately became smooth: "I know a place that's really fun. When you're free, I'd like to invite you to come!"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and didn't respond.
Because when he heard the word "novel", he realized which plot it was.
This is Aiden's first mission.
John Eden was given a copy of Dracula, which sparked a slight interest in vampires. He appears after the player obtains a note from the professor, asking the player to investigate the existence of vampires. He made a bet at the White Shoes Club that vampires exist, but he doesn't have access to the library.
After completing this quest chain, the "White Dance Shoes Club" map and the club's influence will be unlocked.
——Yes, power.
Although the "White Shoes Club" sounds like a dance club, it is actually only slightly related, but not much.
It's called a club, but it's actually a student organization with a limited membership. It was originally founded by a group of students who loved watching ballet performances. They took turns inviting the Iris Kingdom Ballet Company to perform at Royal Law University, and also to introduce their hobby to other students.
As more and more people joined, it was no longer just a circle for ballet fans—after all, you’d get tired of watching it too often. So now it’s become a gathering place for fans of all kinds of performing arts, including drama, opera, and stage plays.
Every day, singers, bands, dance troupes, and theater groups are invited to perform. You can watch for free, and there's also free food and drinks. Or you can simply enjoy the performances as background music and find a corner to chat and have a cup of tea. If the band is performing, interested students can also join the dance floor.
Although the club itself is run within the university, students are not prohibited from returning to the club even after graduation - they just need to pay membership fees again.
Therefore, in a sense, this can be regarded as a permanent alumni association.
Because this social interaction is private, joining the "White Shoes Club" requires an invitation from a member. The inviter also acts as a guarantor, guaranteeing the new member's character. If a member is expelled for engaging in unwelcome behavior, the guarantor will also be punished.
Isabel had always been interested in this club, but she could never find anyone to invite her, and she didn't dare to enter such a closed social environment alone - she knew without a doubt that she would become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.
It might even cause trouble for others, making their originally relaxed environment tense... and that might make people dislike you.
Apparently, if Aiwass wanted to join the "White Dance Shoes Club", he didn't need to do any "trust mission". Even just now, several people had invited him.
In Aiwas's impression, the minister's secrets could only be uncovered through the White Shoes Club, because judges, inspectors, supervisors, and civil servants also came here to rest—except for those in the military, almost everyone else could be seen here.
In that case...
Aiwass narrowed his eyes at the thought.
Then agree to Little John's request and take Isabel with you.
But he did not forget his previous thoughts.
He wanted to help Isabel build up her confidence and find good friends, and now was a good opportunity.
Aiwass said softly, "I guess the fun place you're talking about is the 'White Dancing Shoes Club'? Several classmates have already invited me. It seems like it's really interesting..."
Hearing this, Isabel's eyes lit up.
She looked at Aiwass eagerly, obviously hoping that Aiwass would agree.
In this way, Aiwass can invite her in as an official member!
But Isabel didn't realize that Aiwass's style of doing things was more direct than she thought:
"I'm free this afternoon. After my afternoon classes, I can go with you."
Aiwass smiled and glanced at Isabel, then looked back: "But...
"Do you mind if I bring two more people?"
