Chapter 793 Morgan's True Gift
It was dusk when Aleister was brought to the Temple of Silver and Tin. The sun and the moon appeared in the sky at the same time.
Aleister and Leviathan were brought to the reception room by the unknown arbitrator.
"...Please wait a moment. The Queen's Guards will inform you of the next steps."
The arbitrator bowed politely, and a sense of relaxation and relief could be clearly heard in his words - this mess is finally over, whoever wants to come next time can come, anyway, I won't come.
It was obvious that he was very afraid that Her Majesty would quarrel with Miss Aleister in person.
One is the Queen of Avalon, and the other is the current lover of His Holiness the Pope. It seems that the two are rivals in love... Judging from the few words they exchanged, it seems that the Queen made some difficult request to Miss Aleister, and she has now fulfilled it with dignity.
No matter what he did, he would be blamed... One could even say that the blame had already quietly crept onto his back when he decided to patrol the harbor today. The fact that Her Majesty the Queen had no direct contact with Miss Aleister was already the best possible scenario...
I hope it doesn't get out of hand, it wouldn't look good if it did, the arbitrator thought.
Aleister didn't sneak in, but entered Avalon openly through customs... This meant that many people knew about her return. Many reporters came to take pictures along the way...
Judging from the efficiency of those reporters, he could already guess what the front-page headline of tomorrow's morning paper would contain - and the photos on it would definitely show him walking down the street with Aleister, and from every angle.
Sweaty as hell, folks.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Arbitrator."
Aleister simply stroked the Leviathan beside him gently, showing a generous and brilliant smile: "After this, there will be nothing for you to do."
"I hope so..."
The arbitrator murmured, then left as quickly as the wind.
After he left, several of the queen's guards arrived as promised.
The way they looked at Aleister was filled with curiosity, scrutiny, intimacy... and also vigilance. But the only thing missing was the hostility they should have towards the queen's "rival in love."
"His Majesty is waiting for you in the bedroom." said an elf with a long silver ponytail.
"...the bedroom?"
Aleister's heart skipped a beat, and his expression became a little unnatural for a moment.
That shouldn't be the case. I'm Aleister now...
Aleister thought about it carefully and felt that at most he would just hold her while sleeping - just like in a dream. So she breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't need any guidance and walked straight to the Queen's guards who were moving slowly forward.
Aleister walked down the corridor that was now so familiar to her and opened the door to Isabel's bedroom.
Isabel did not practice her musical instrument as usual, but instead lay on the bed in her pajamas, reading a book.
"Long time no see, Alai."
She closed the book with a smile and put it beside her, then picked up a pillow to cover the title.
Aleister took a subconscious look and found that the author's name, which was not completely blocked on the cover of the book, was "Rose Kelly".
...It's a name I've never heard of. Is it a less famous writer?
Aleister thought so, and his eyes were subconsciously drawn to the clothes on Isabel.
She was wearing pajamas, the same style that Aiwass had sent her from the Theocracy. The silver-white gauze was so thin it was almost translucent, with dark gold lace trimmings at the cuffs and collar. She should have been wearing underwear underneath... but Aleister couldn't see the shape of any underwear.
Aleister swallowed subconsciously.
——It would be great if I could come back in Aiwass's body. She thought sincerely.
Aleister's body was ultimately powerless...
...Hey, wait?
Aleister was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he had another incarnation!
She walked towards the floor-length mirror in the room. When she walked out again, she had transformed into Aiwass.
Except for the pupils which are an evil scarlet color, it is exactly the same as Aiwass himself!
"This is--"
“…How could that be?”
The Queen's guards, who were supposed to remain quiet and silent under any circumstances, could not help but make sounds at this moment and were all shocked.
Because they could all sense that this was not an illusion, nor was it a technique of transforming flesh and blood, but the real Pope Aiwass!
But now Aiwass should be in the Theocracy, and there is no way he can be the Son of the Moon!
"Peace of mind."
Isabel's voice was calm but majestic: "Silence."
With just a few words, the Queen's guards regained their presence like interior decoration.
Then, she looked at Aleister who had transformed into Aiwass, and not surprisingly, she stretched out her hands with a happy smile on her face.
Aleister walked forward and hugged Isabel: "My Queen...long time no see."
"...I haven't heard that voice in a long time, my knight. I miss it."
Isabel whispered something in Aleister's ear, causing her ears to itch uncomfortably—this was an area where Aiwass was particularly sensitive. Whenever Isabel spoke in his ear, he would shudder uncontrollably and even groan.
"Why did you suddenly think of... going back to Avalon? Did you sense something?"
Isabel said with a smile.
Her voice was slow and measured, but it was different from what Aleister had expected. Aleister had originally thought his return would be a surprise—Isabel would have happily run over to him, jumping into his arms like a kitten. Instead, she sat calmly on the bed, waiting for him to come and hug her...
…It was as if he was the one missing her, Aleister thought.
Well, I kind of do.
She admitted it in her heart with frustration but happiness.
"I'm going to Eagle Point Village tomorrow..."
Aleister said seriously.
At the same time, he told Isabel about his recent experiences and the worries of his main body.
Isabel pursed her lips at first, but then listened carefully to what Aleister said.
When she heard that Aiwass was unwilling to advance too early because he was worried about his agreement with Aleister...Isabel suddenly laughed out loud.
"Then you don't have to quarrel now."
Isabel said slowly, "Do you want me to give you a surprise?"
"surprise……"
Aleister murmured, and suddenly realized: "No way?"
Aiwass and Isabel had only had one intimate relationship - although that time lasted almost the entire day. They had originally agreed to have it on the evening of February 16th, and Isabel had even prepared some wine to celebrate and remember it.
But on the morning of the 16th, after seeing Morgan, Aiwass seemed to have a strong desire. He played with Isabel from day to night.
At that time, Aiwass also suspected that his mind was affected by the Path of Love, but he was sure that his will was completely clear... Then he could only blame himself for being too impatient and unable to control himself.
And just like that...Isabelle got pregnant right away?
What kind of sharpshooter is this——
...Or is this the gift Morgan gave to himself?
[——Lancelot asked me to give you a gift... What do you think of me?]
That's what Morgan had said to Aiwass.
Morgan, the Lady of the Lake, who represents the path of love, did possess the power to grant children. However, when Aiwass later saw the "Morgan Wonderful House," he decided that the "dream property" was a gift from Morgan.
...Looking back now, how could "Lancelot" have asked Morgan to give him something other than a love room? That would have been too strange—while Morgan wasn't very serious, Lancelot was quite decent, serious, and quite humorless.
Even if he didn't proactively declare what he wanted to send...it would be difficult for Morgan to report back.
On the contrary, if I send a child, that old antique might be very satisfied. After all, Isabel on the other side is also his descendant.
Thinking of this, Aleister gently placed his hand on Isabel's lower abdomen.
The power of love belonging to the Son of the Moon slowly seeps in through the blood.
Aleister's palm hadn't yet sensed another heartbeat, but the power of the Path of Love easily sensed the strange life force flowing through Isabel's body—it was like two people overlapping. No heartbeat, no soul, no power of the Path, but already there was a clearly visible life force.
"Feel it?"
Isabel murmured softly, "I can't even feel it yet."
"...It may take more than ten days for the fetal heartbeat to appear."
Aleister warned earnestly: "You must protect yourself well. Don't go to dangerous places, don't stay up late, and don't drink."
She felt a little complicated, but also very happy - now, the things she and Aiwass had been worried about would no longer exist!
"I don't want it."
Isabel said simply: "The only way I can see you is by drinking."
"...Behave. Your drinking didn't affect it before, so it's lucky. But don't do that again."
Aleister's expression was serious: "This is very dangerous for both the child and you."
Isabel burst out laughing. "It was just a joke... Of course I know. And, I have this..."
As she spoke, she showed off the necklace hanging around her neck.
Hanging from it was a small crystal bottle, like a perfume bottle, which contained an intoxicating, almost oily golden liquid. It looked like linseed oil, and the golden ointment was full of glittering tiny particles, as beautiful as smoke and mist.
——That is Aiwass’s liquid soul.
The moment he saw it, Aleister suddenly remembered his previous obsession.
If I want to become Aiwass's Sinful Beast, then Aiwass's liquid soul is the necessary material...
