Aleister looked at Prince Szijjarto with interest.
"It's really strange."
She said with a smile: "If I remember correctly...isn't your mother, Queen Louis, a child of the moon?"< /p>
After Aleister finished speaking, Prince Szijjarto was silent for a moment.
The astrologer Fenrir subconsciously looked back at the prince's expression - but the prince did not get angry because of it.
His fists on the table were not clenched. Instead, he fumbled and slowly raised the black tea that had just been brought by the maid. But he stared at the black tea in the cup for a long time. He had obviously raised it to his mouth but slowly put it down again.
"...Because of this."
After a long silence, he said this.
Szijjarto did not explain his behavior in detail, but Aleister already understood it.
“You mean,” Aleister, who returned to his original form, leaned back on the chair, raised his head and revealed his smooth and small chin, “when she gave birth to you, she wasn’t Son of the Moon...right?"
Prince Szijjarto did not answer.
However, his somewhat sad eyes, looking down at the black tea in the cup, had already revealed the truth of everything.
Obviously, Valentine VII believed that his "resurrected queen" was still his true love. In other words, he thinks that as long as Louis can be resurrected, he can accept it no matter what.
But as her child, Prince Szijjarto clearly felt the changes in his mother.
The corners of Aleister’s mouth raised slightly, but then they calmed down again seriously. This was the first time she took a serious look at Prince Szijjarto.
At this moment, Aleister looked like a childish girl, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was so thin that it was pitiable. The back of the chair behind her was even taller than her upper body.
However, she was wearing gorgeous elf-style clothes - light clothes with gold and red as the main colors, and many luxurious gold ornaments inlaid with rubies and emeralds.
The luxurious aura displayed by the gorgeous clothes has completely overwhelmed the delicate feeling brought by the childish appearance at this moment. He was obviously a guest, but somehow he had the air of a host.
"That's it."
Aleister sighed softly: "You still miss your real mother in childhood, but you don't deny that "the one who appeared later" A mother's love for you, therefore does not regard her as an enemy. In your perception, these are two completely different but related people... On this basis, they coexist in the same person. On the body.
"...It is really rare that there are types who believe that the Son of the Moon exists at the same time as his predecessor. In the philosophy of Moon Child, your kind of thinking can be considered a minority. ”
Only based on this concept can there be SiyaErdo's behavior of "care about the image and identity of his predecessor and actively interfering with the behavior of the Son of the Moon". In the eyes of others, this behavior seems too naive... and considering his identity, it even seems a bit ridiculous.
“It’s not necessary to analyze it to this extent.”
Prince Szijjarto took a sip of black tea and said calmly: “Has anyone ever told you that this will make people angry? Unwell?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be so easily stressed..."
Aleister didn't pay attention to Szijjaldo's vaguely prickly but soft appearance. He just asked with interest: "In your opinion, what am I to "her"? A thief who steals identity and memory, an evolver who comes back from the dead...or just a reborn person with a different personality?" "
"...Tombstone."
After a long silence, Szijjarto simply replied: "I think so."
Tombstone. ...
Hearing the unexpected answer, Aleister opened his eyes slightly.
An "object" that bears the life of the deceased is also worthy of respect and remembrance. Not treating it as a complete person, but recognizing its existence instead of identifying it as a thief or a monster.
This seems to be a more mature concept than Bayard, who transformed into the Shadow Demon back then.
"...Ha."
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her tone softened: "Good boy."
No matter how she felt about the Moon Child, Which definition is correct - or none of them is completely correct - Aleister can also be sure that Prince Szijjarto is at least a soft-hearted person.
"Maybe you have been in the world for a long time, but you don't need to regard yourself as an elder in front of me."
Prince Szijjarto raised his head and said seriously: "Everything I did was not done to get praise from anyone. It was because I wanted to do it."
"Including your father?" Aleister asked.
"Of course, Miss Aleister."
Prince Szijjarto took a deep breath, looked at Aleister and said seriously: "I will send you Please come, not entirely because of Fenrir's prophecy, nor entirely because I saw such a naive and innocent girl planning to enter such a depraved and filthy place, but also because I saw your soul - it is. It's so pure, without any sin on it."
"...My soul?"
Aleister was a little surprised.
But soon, she thought of the glasses: "Can it even do this kind of thing?"
"——Those were made by Valentine I himself. Alchemical creation."
Prince Szijjarto said calmly: "I might as well tell you... His Majesty also visited that kind of place in the past."
"Tell me this kind of thing. This kind of outsiderNo problem? "
Aleister raised his eyebrows.
Szijjarto nodded slightly: "Of course, because this matter is not something to be ashamed of - Your Majesty, he is In that incident, I felt the contradiction of Moon Child. He personally witnessed the fall of the Moon Son, but his best friend was also the Moon Son; he doubted his previous prejudice against the Moon Son - the Moon Son enjoyed the blood slaves as consumables, and the nobles treated the blood slaves Which of the evil deeds you do is noble and which is despicable?
"So when he was confused, he created this pair of glasses that can "see people's hearts clearly." This pair of glasses was blessed by the twin mirrors. In addition to being able to see clearly the posture of the other person's soul, these glasses Is it pure and clear, or is it ferocious and evil, and you can still clearly see the killings caused by the other party..."
As he said that, Prince Szijjarto looked at Aleister with a complicated expression: "And I have never seen a child of the moon with such a pure soul, so I think... Miss Aleister, you should have just become a child of the moon, and she... is still young."
Nonsense, Because I was really just born.
Aleister said to himself.
No wonder Prince Szijjarto struck up a conversation with him so enthusiastically when he saw him for the first time - he was clearly not such an outgoing character, but rather a stuffy person. He also specifically emphasized his "nobility" and even showed no vigilance when he showed murderous intent in the car.
It turns out that he saw his killing record...
The previous person was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but now his body's cause and effect are clean.
So in Prince Szijjarto’s view, he is either “a person who has just replaced his predecessor and doesn’t know how to show that he has become a son of the moon, so he uses illusions to disguise himself as an adult and intends to enter the moon.” A kid from the "Son of the Moon Cafeteria"; or he is the Son of the Moon who has never killed anyone so far, so he chatted with Aleister for so long and told so many secrets without hesitation - because he Aleister's "good and evil tendencies" have been identified.
At the same time...
"...Do you think that I will be affected by that strange ritual and commit murder?"
Aleister asked rhetorically.
