Chapter 208: Aiwass's Psychiatric Treatment
Aiwass slept unexpectedly soundly.
Although he had known for a long time that he might be attacked tonight, he was extremely relaxed. It was not until five in the morning that he was finally woken up by Lily.
When he woke up in a daze, he found himself sleeping in a strange bed.
Iverson was startled and perked up a little. He looked around and realized that this was Isabel's room.
It was then that he saw that Isabel was wearing a simple white dress and was curled up on the sofa, fast asleep. With a dazed look, she looked like a small white dog curled up in a ball.
Why is Your Highness the Princess sleeping on the sofa today?
Aiwass thought.
Oh yeah, I think I slept in her bed... Did I push her away? I'm a pretty good sleeper, right?
...Ah, I remember now. I was teleported here by Master Janice.
As he continued to think, Aiwas's brain gradually started up.
"Such a smooth transmission, I didn't feel anything at all... As expected of Janice..."
Aiwass murmured as Lily helped him sit up. She picked up a cup of warm honey water and fed it to Aiwass slowly. After drinking the warm water, Aiwass gradually regained consciousness.
"Is Miss Meg back?"
This was his first reaction. After all, it was something he had agreed with Meg before.
Otherwise, Lily wouldn't have woken herself up at this time.
Hearing this, Lily nodded: "Yes, I'll wait next door."
"...Did I bring my clothes?"
Aiwass looked down at his clothes, feeling a little troubled.
It wasn't that his clothes weren't decent—unlike Isabel's plain white pleated skirt, Aiwass was wearing pure white fox fur pajamas. These were Aiwass's favorite pajamas, and they were also a New Year's gift from his adoptive father last year.
Not only were they expensive, but they were also extremely rare... after all, white foxes were rare in Avalon. Many knights' formal attire wasn't as impressive as Aiwass's pajamas.
...Evans' main concern was that if he appeared in Princess Isabel's boudoir in his pajamas and was seen by others, and the news accidentally got out, would it have a negative impact on her reputation?
After all, such a large ceremony couldn't be held in a side hall or bedroom; they had to go to the ceremony room. Although Moriarty Manor didn't have a dedicated ceremony room, the Silver and Tin Hall had everything.
"Obviously not."
Lily shook her head.
Aiwass asked, "Can you ask Master Yannis to take me back so I can take a shower and change clothes before coming back?"
Lily added in more detail, "I'm afraid we can't shower anymore. The second floor of 14 Ronin Street has been basically demolished and needs to be rebuilt. It's likely that a lot of our belongings and other things were damaged as well... Someone reported the incident three hours ago, and the Supervisory Bureau should be collecting evidence now. They'll give us a list later."
The implication is that you should not go back and cause trouble for the time being.
"...Even with the walls reinforced by preservationists, could the aftermath of the battle still damage the house?"
Ai Hua was shocked at once.
From what Meg had said, at least Janice and Meg were there yesterday. Maybe the Great Guardian was there too... That means three Fifth Levels. Who could tear down his house in front of three Fifth Levels?
There aren't many hostile fifth-level beings near Glass Island, right?
The leader of Noble Red came in person?
That's unlikely... Of course, it would be great if it were true.
Or is it the bone sculpture whose name I can’t remember?
Aiwass remembered that Sherlock had checked the other party's identity. The report showed that he was also a master of the path of beauty and a prominent figure from the Iris Kingdom.
If it was him, then I shouldn't have offended him. However, if he was from Iris... could he be a member of the Hawkeye Organization? Is he the assassin's superior?
But Aiwass still accepted the status quo.
If he had to blame anyone, he could only blame himself for being unprepared or for underestimating the enemy - if he had known it was such a powerful enemy, he should have asked Lily to take the important items with her when she left.
But if No. 14 Roning Street is being renovated... where will I live during this period?
Why not go find Madam Mina? Since Sherlock is alive now, I can just send him off to "revive" and live in the guest room myself...
While Aiwas was daydreaming, Isabel was awakened by the sound of the master and servant chatting.
Realizing that he was being watched, Aiwas turned around and saw Isabel lying on the sofa, looking at him quietly.
Aiwass was neither shy nor reserved. He just smiled and greeted her: "Good morning, Isabel."
"……good morning."
Isabel's voice was a little hoarse and her spirits were a little sluggish, obviously she hadn't slept well. Although I didn't know what time she went to bed, since she was chased away by Aiwass, it must have been at least after Aiwass was teleported here.
Lily immediately brought honey water. Isabel didn't ring the bell to call her personal maid. In fact, before Aiwass came, Isabel's maid had already been sent to the next room.
"Sorry, Isabel. For taking your bed."
Aiwass said softly.
"It's okay... I've already taken today off."
Isabel just shook her head gently - because she didn't sleep well last night. If she shook her head too hard, her head would hurt.
The first half of the night was spent in excitement, and the second half was spent quietly chatting with Lily. She didn't fall asleep until almost three in the morning, and now she has only slept for two hours.
She looked at Lily with some doubt: "You didn't sleep well either, Lily. But now you..."
"Just catch up on some sleep when you have time."
Lily shook her head. "A personal servant can't sleep too deeply. If the master is in danger or needs help, it would be troublesome if they can't call for him. So we usually sleep for a short time at night, and usually catch up on some sleep during the day."
“…But this is not good for your health.”
Isabel looked at Lily with some worry.
Lily just smiled: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
After hearing what Lily said, she also thought of her personal maid.
She could see that Aiwass and Lily had a close relationship and often went out and had meals together.
But Isabel's relationship with her maid wasn't quite as good... Her main duties were to help Isabel tidy her bedroom and underwear, bring her breakfast, and help her with her makeup. She was incredibly dedicated and courteous.
But Lily was able to be Aiwass's friend, while Isabel's maid treated her rationally and distantly, as if it were her job.
That was normal, after all, Aiwass only had one personal maid. But every year and a half, Isabel's personal maids and attendants would all be replaced... She herself didn't even know who the newest one was or what her last name was.
If I treat the maid nicer, will she be willing to be my friend?
This thought came to Isabel's mind.
But that probably wouldn't work. That might cost her her job.
Although Isabel didn't know much about politics, she knew this: he had to prevent members of the royal family from developing feelings for the servants, and prevent anyone from indirectly manipulating the royal family by influencing the servants. This was the Lord Chamberlain's responsibility, and Lord Mycroft fulfilled his duties conscientiously.
...Although she knew and understood, she still emotionally envied the relationship between Aiwass and Lily, where they could talk about anything.
Lily had just told her that Aiwass would tell her all his secrets, some of which he couldn't tell Isabel because Aiwass asked her to keep it secret.
This even made her feel a little jealous - on the one hand, she was jealous that Aiwass had such a friend whom he could trust completely, and on the other hand, she was jealous that Lily could be trusted by Aiwass so much.
"Don't get used to it."
Aiwass yawned and said casually, "Lack of sleep for a long time is not good for your health... Come here and let me pat your head. You lie down on the bed... Isabel, are you okay?"
“…Ahh, it’s okay.”
Isabel was stunned for a moment before she realized that Aiwass was asking her, so she responded hurriedly.
She watched it all intently.
Lily walked to Aiwass, lay on her back on the edge of the bed, and put her head on Aiwass's thighs.
"Close your eyes."
Aiwass spoke softly, his left hand resting lightly on Lily's forehead, shining with a gentle light.
His right hand also glowed. Aiwass's fingertips traced from Lily's collarbone to her heart, then to her stomach, liver, and kidneys, checking her physical condition. Then he placed his right hand on Lily's chest and stayed there for a second.
The treatment lasted less than ten seconds before the light faded.
Lily suddenly became refreshed, and the light in her eyes lit up again.
"Your liver and kidneys weren't in good condition, so I cured them. Your energy has also been replenished... but you still can't rely too much on illumination magic. How about giving you tomorrow off?"
"Half a day, Master. Who will take care of you if it's a whole day?"
Lily said with a smile.
Isabel's eyes widened.
She wanted to, but was too embarrassed to say it. She also didn't dare to.
——This seems too intimate!
And Aiwass looked at her, thoughtfully.
He quickly understood Isabel's thoughts and waved to her with a smile: "Want to try it? You'll become sober in no time."
"...Ms. Meg is still waiting."
Isabel spoke hesitantly, but she stood up from the sofa and walked over slowly.
"Very quickly."
Aiwass smiled gently: "Trust my skills."
"Woo..."
Isabel looked a little shy and a little resistant, but she didn't say anything. She just climbed onto her bed carefully and lay down beside Aiwass's thighs.
