Chapter 1001 Aiwass: Mom?
As we moved away from the classroom where Dream Master Mia was, the number of people outside became noticeably thinner. In the vast playground, there were only four or five people scattered around, and all of their faces were blurry and their movements were slow—even distorted.
They were all slender little girls, but their movements were unnatural. Their limbs were too lithe, and their movements were silent. It looked like they hadn't been animated properly; even their fingers were connected.
"Where are we going?"
Yasen looked at them and asked humbly, "How about asking someone?"
He clearly knew very little about dreams and the secrets of the dream world, and he was now eagerly searching for knowledge. Perhaps it was because of this eagerness to learn that Yasen had mastered so many skills despite only having an elementary school education.
And even though he knew nothing about "dreams", he still dared to take the initiative to enter the dream world to rescue Sherlock... This recklessness and loyalty made Aiwass have a better impression of him.
Therefore, Aiwass also patiently answered his doubts: "It's useless. We are not in the sight of the dream master. In this case, these people are just empty shells."
“…Hey, wait a minute. Your Holiness…”
Speaking of the dream master's gaze, Yasen suddenly reacted: "That little girl...are we not going to take her with us? Or should we go find her first?"
"You mean Aleister?"
Aiwass didn't care: "She's always with me."
“…Is that so? Sorry.” Yasen didn’t ask “what’s going on” or “how did you do that”, but simply admitted his mistake.
This elegant man with a certain bearing was not so curious about other people's secrets.
This is probably the reason why he can live safely until now despite doing such a dangerous job as a thief in the land of Iris.
Aiwass simply waved his hand and didn't continue to explain. He just said softly, "Also, please don't call me 'Your Holiness'. I know that's my nickname now... Some people use it to pay tribute to me; some want to use it to boast about human achievements; and some use it to mock me. But all in all, I was only the interim Pope for a month.
"Just call me Aiwass. That's what Sherlock usually calls me. You're Sherlock's friend, and I'm Sherlock's friend... so we can be friends, right?"
“…Hmm.”
At this point, Yasen's expression became a little more subtle: "Okay... no problem."
"What's wrong?"
Aiwass noticed Yasen's expression keenly.
"Specifically..."
Yasen coughed lightly and said seriously, "When he usually calls you, he uses a more intimate name. He usually doesn't use Aiwass."
"...Okay, I think I know what it's called."
Aiwass was somewhat helpless: "Probably a name like 'vixen' or 'slutty fox'."
"……Why?"
Yasen was stunned for a moment, wondering how there could be such a name, and quickly explained for Sherlock: "No."
"What? No?"
"Yes, he usually calls you 'my dear friend'."
"What a coincidence, he calls you that in front of me too."
After saying this, Aiwass and Yasen smiled at each other, feeling that they had more common language.
This is what the so-called "friend of a friend" means. When the middleman is not around, everyone can easily become familiar with each other by just saying some bad things about him or chatting about the funny things that happened to him on their side.
However, Aiwass still remembers that the first person Sherlock called his best friend should actually be Edward. After all, Edward was Sherlock's first friend - especially his friend during his autistic period. This was his most precious best friend.
But just as the two of them were chatting and laughing.
Aiwass suddenly passed by someone who seemed familiar.
He was slightly stunned for a moment.
At that moment, Aiwass felt his spine tense - a strange premonition made him feel as if time slowed down and stopped.
He subconsciously turned around and saw the man's face clearly.
That person's face was different from the other "NPCs" in that it was incredibly clear. So clear that Mia knew at a glance that she had probably seen this person before in real life.
But after seeing her face clearly, Aiwass had a strange vision——
"……Mother?"
He murmured in a low voice that only he could hear.
Aiwass has a pretty good memory, especially after becoming a superhuman.
During his first promotion ceremony, Aiwass saw the faces of his biological parents.
In Aiwass's opinion, his own father was more handsome than he was, and his mother had beautiful white-blond hair, the same color as Aiwass's, which flowed down her shoulders. She was dignified and elegant, with a melancholic face and fair skin, and she wore a pearl-colored silk dress.
The girl who passed by was at least 80% similar to her mother.
Whether it's the appearance, eye color, hair color, demeanor... and the long dress of similar style.
But it was obvious that even if Aiwass's biological mother, Anne Alexander, was still alive, she would be in her forties by now. But the girl just now looked even younger than Aiwass, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.
For a moment, Aiwass had an absurd idea - could it be that his mother was reincarnated after death?
However, that is impossible.
Not to mention that the mortals in this world have no qualifications for reincarnation, and even if Anne became an apostle and successfully reincarnated, there is no reason for her not to come to find Aiwass.
So Aiwass immediately realized the truth of the problem:
Aiwass remembered that his mother, Anne, seemed to be an Iris aristocrat. When she went to study in Avalon with Bishop Mathers' wife, Mathers' wife Mina fell in love with her tutor, while her roommate Anne fell in love with her classmate Julio Alexander.
The result was that both of them stayed in Avalon and even abandoned their old surnames.
Back then, Aiwass was completely baffled by this. As a "noble," even if Iris no longer had aristocracy in name, it still offered a very comfortable living standard. Why would he give it up? You have to remember that before the founding of Avalon, it was far too conservative, closed, and backward, and couldn't even compare to Iris's conditions.
Now, after actually arriving at the Iris Flower... Aiwass gradually understood.
For girls who are conservative and prefer quietness, irises are a living environment that they cannot accept.
In other words, this girl should be a blood relative of Aiwass's biological mother.
She was so clear, which showed that Mia was deeply impressed by her.
If Aiwas knew who she was, it would be equivalent to knowing his mother's background in disguise!
...Although "searching for my mother's family" actually has no meaning, for Aiwass now, any information related to his parents is worthy of attention.
Aiwass technically had a cousin named Lisa, who had been attacked and killed before he himself was attacked; his paternal family had been wiped out. Even his grandfather Jacob, who was still active in the world as an apostle of the Huantian Division, had already died once.
His only possible blood relative might be Iris.
Yassen noticed Aiwass's gaze.
"Do you care much for her, Aiwass?"
He was a little surprised, but said tactfully, "I can introduce her to you... but I remember that you Avalonians are quite conservative... Is it okay with Her Majesty the Queen?"
It was obvious that Yassen thought Aiwass fell in love with her at first sight.
This is not an uncommon occurrence in irises.
"Do you know her?"
Aiwass suddenly realized that since the girl was Mia's acquaintance, then Yasen, Mia's lover, should also know her!
There's no need to ask Mia, Yasen knows this!
"Of course I know her."
Yasen smiled. "She's my wife's younger sister. She likes me, and she's jealous... so she's in contact with Mia. But I haven't touched her, or my wife would be unhappy... I'm more or less living under someone else's roof, so I can handle things like that.
"—Her name is Abigail de Vendôme."
Update completed, meow! Sorry it's a few minutes late, meow!
