The morning of March 1st.
Avalon, the Isle of Glass, the Palace of Silver and Tin.
Isabel had already had breakfast early, and was sitting in the study looking at something with concentration on her face.
But she was not processing the documents, but watching secretly.
That is a "banned book" that has recently become quietly popular in Avalon - describing the political struggle and office romance between Minister Aiwass and Queen Isabel.
Mainly because Aiwass and Isabel are both young, beautiful and successful. Coupled with the previous scandal between Aiwass and Miss Aleister, this young minister, who was appointed by the previous queen in an unusual way, has become a kind of frenemy and friend with the young queen in people's minds. relationship.
Generally speaking, this kind of thing involving the royal family will definitely be discovered as soon as possible and subsequently investigated and dealt with.
There is a high probability that the author will become a piece of dried bacon in the Hanging Square.
But after people bought it and collected it fearfully, with the feeling of "Today I finally caught up with the legendary out-of-print forbidden book Juezan, which is now being published", they unexpectedly discovered it. Not banned.
Not only has it not been banned, it is even continuing to be serialized!
So people thought of the news that "Miss Aleister was driven out of Avalon", and they immediately understood it - oh, this is what Her Majesty the Queen meant.
Co-authored: This is a legitimate cause that the royal family acquiesces to and even supports!
In an instant, similar jokes and jokes sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Some are printed and sold independently, while others are serialized in newspapers. Some painters have also received orders to paint similar paintings.
That is to say, people still remain rational, so they do not write operas with related themes. The previous ones can be said to be the personal behavior of the people, but things like operas must be reviewed by the Inspectorate. Now that the young minister is not in Avalon, if he discovers this thing when he comes back and becomes angry and wants to liquidate it, then things will become big.
——So Isabel planned to do it herself.
She gave herself a pen name called "Rose Kelly".
She plans to write an opera herself, from script to arrangement, and then secretly have it approved. As long as people see it performed, they will probably know the royal family's attitude on this matter.
But this is just an idea.
Isabel has no writing experience - so in order to collect materials, Isabel plans to see how it is written on the market and see if there is any bridge that she can learn from.
So she asked the Queen's Guards to quietly buy a few books from the black market. It just so happened that Aiwass was busy in the past few days and couldn't meet him at night. Isabel even saw him at about four o'clock in the morning last night - in order to maintain energy, she usually goes to bed at twelve o'clock in the evening.
As a result, Isabel was so sleepy that she had no choice but to make up her mind:
It’s already this point, and I don’t get enough sleep anyway, so I might as well not sleep at all.
So Isabel drank the sobering potion, and then used the harp Aiwass gave her to treat herself, forcibly removing the negative effects of the potion.
After having breakfast early and practicing singing and playing, Isabel sat in the study room and planned to continue reading.
When she was reading those books last night, she felt blushing at first when she saw the heroine's name - but then she slowly felt a strange feeling. It was as if I had personally experienced a mysterious adventure and spent a magical time with Aiwass.
Last night’s sleepless night was meaningful: Isabel felt that she had resonated with the path of beauty. This wonderful experience of seeing herself as a "character", and even having to create new fictional art herself, has indeed made her power visible to the naked eye.
…But the current book is a little different.
It is said that this is the most popular book on the black market, with the highest reviews and the lowest stock. Isabel's personal guard also bought it with great difficulty. Isabel has always had the habit of "saving delicious food until the last bite", so she planned to read this book last so as not to spoil her taste and prevent her from eating other things.
As a result, it made Isabel blush a little.
Half ashamed, half angry.
Because this book contains a large number of discordant descriptions that are not suitable for children.
But what makes Isabel most angry is that none of these stories are about herself - they are about Aiwass and "Miss Aleister", and even Aiwass and the female Star Antimony agent. , the sensational story of Aiwass and Iris, the female spy.
The only story left in the story of Aiwass and Isabel is "how they tacitly work together to fight against their common enemy, and how they fight each other for their own power and interests." Wonderful story of Thorns.
The author of this book strives to create an atmosphere in which "Aiwass and Miss Aleister are lovers, while he and Queen Isabel are enemies who love each other and recognize each other." I came to try to use this method to rationalize why there is no plot about Her Majesty in it - but Isabel knew that the real reason must be that the author did not dare to write it.
This is indeed reasonable.
Because if the author dares to write some blasphemous stories, Isabel will definitely contact the Arbitration Hall to arrest him immediately; but on the other hand, although the author is very cautious now and does not write indiscriminately, Isabel still planned to capture him - it wasn't that she didn't like to see it herself, but she definitely couldn't let others see it.
——But what you wrote made me angry!
Although I don’t know whether the author is male or female and what his background is, judging from the rather detailed political description, he is probablySomeone who has access to the Round Table Hall. At least his description of the atmosphere in the Round Table Room was spot on.
"—Your Majesty."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.
That was a familiar voice that Isabel had not heard in a while - the serious voice of the Great Guardian.
Isabel was immediately in a hurry and wrapped this thin booklet inside "Elf Diplomacy: Food, Etiquette and Culture" on the corner of the table. Seeing that there was an empty section in the middle of the book, she reached out and tried to flatten it but failed. So I simply picked up the vase on the table, pressed it on top of the book, and pushed it back to the corner of the table.
She breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the guard to open the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised to see a lot of people walking in together.
Except for the Grand Inquisitor who took leave of absence - the three highest-level transcendent beings in Avalon, Grand Justice Arius, Grand Arbiter Ligeia, and Grand Guardian George, are all here.
This immediately cheered up Isabel.
Because even Ligeia was extremely serious: she didn’t drink!
Since Ligeia gradually became familiar with the Glass Island, she almost did not shy away from going to the bars she loved to go to when she was "Meg", and resumed her usual drinking. A comfortable life of fishing with beer and fried chicken. Especially after the arrival of the Queen's Guards, she even had time to go fishing in Muwan County. After fishing, she would go home and stew the fish to share with Isabel.
"...Mr. Barton, aren't you supposed to be in Star Antimony?"
Isabel looked at the great guardian with a serious and even guilty face in a strange way, feeling a little worried: " Could it be...an ambush among the Griffin Legion?"
But why did the Great Guardian bring his son?
"No, the battle ahead is going well, Her Majesty the Queen."
The Great Guardian shook his head: "I just came all the way back - and now the Griffin Legion is still on the planet. Antimony is stationed. I have ordered them to temporarily enter the station state. I will not continue the military operation until I return..." After he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to apologize: "I am here to apologize to Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
"...What?"
Isabel was a little surprised. She looked at the serious expressions of the Chief Justice and Ligeia, and asked again: "Why? "
"Because my son, David Barton - he broke away from the authoritarian path last night."
The Great Guardian said seriously: "This is very important to your Majesty. It is undoubtedly a betrayal, so I brought David to apologize to you immediately."
"...Wait, what's going on?"
Isabel. Haven't figured out the situation yet.
——Is it possible to escape from the road?
"Is the child okay?"
She asked subconsciously.
DashouThe Guardian patted David on the shoulder and motioned for him to speak.
And David's expression seemed a little timid, but not regretful - his eyes were quite determined.
"That's right, Her Majesty the Queen..."
David quickly told the story of last night's dream.
"Last night, he suddenly burst into flames."
The Great Guardian added: "Nadia was terrified at the time - but she soon realized This was the influence of some mysterious power, so she didn't dare to interfere. So she contacted me immediately... I was in Xingzhi at the time, and the phone couldn't be reached. It was all because of a supernatural tool that sent me an early warning - that was what happened. I left it in advance for use when she and David were in danger.
"I rushed back with Phillip immediately, and Phillip flew very fast. So I arrived in less than half an hour. And when I arrived, we both noticed that the power of the path in David was disintegrating... but his body was reshaped into another appearance. "
The Great Guardian said solemnly: "We woke David up quickly - after confirmation, we found that he had obtained the new profession of 'Warrior' to adapt to the path! But the professional power of his original authoritarian path was lost..."
"You should still remember where the power of the 'warrior' comes from, Your Majesty. ”
The taciturn Justice reminded.
