Hearing this, Isabel's mood was extremely complicated at the moment.
The shadow of her childhood was that relatives she knew or didn't know very well died one after another because of the curse... Now that she has become the queen of Avalon, the curse has become a thing of the past.
But now she knows that the person who caused the whole incident in the first place... was actually her parents?
"If a nail is missing, a horseshoe is missing; if a horseshoe is missing, a war horse is lame; if a war horse is lame, a battle is lost; if a battle is lost, a country is lost..."
Isabelle sang the nursery rhyme of Avalon in a low voice.
That was a song she heard when she was very young.
When you hear it for the first time, you don't know the meaning of the song, but when you listen to it again, you already know the meaning of the song.
But Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had more things on his mind than Isabel.
This is an old thing that basically no one knows except the person involved. Maybe even Prince Albert doesn't know that he has such an engagement. But at least Queen Sofia, as the leader, must know everything.
When the Ten Days War was discovered, the old Duke personally led the army to fight, so he should have known that this matter was related to Prince Albert - especially since a member of the royal family had been poisoned before that, which was obviously the work of Hawkeye.
And Sherlock also realized something: "So, that incident that year..."
His father, Arthur Hermes, was once the Lord Chamberlain of Avalon. His main responsibility was to plan and manage various activities in which the royal family participated, and to officiate at weddings and funerals. The most critical function was to
Hire, train and manage the servants in the palace. Therefore, when a royal family is poisoned by a curse, Arthur is undoubtedly responsible.
At that time, someone anonymously reported that Arthur was the poisoner - at this time, the Inspectorate found the poison that could cause the corresponding cause of death in the Hermes mansion. The entire chain of evidence was complete, although it was missing a few things.
Motive, but it is not too much to have the memory searched by the Inspectorate at this time.
But at that time, the Queen directly protected Arthur.
There was no interrogation or questioning. With a complete chain of evidence, Arthur was directly acquitted... You must know that the one who was assassinated at that time was the prince she loved most and who was most likely to become the next king.
Shylock takes this as trust and respects it in return.
But now he understands a little more...
……I see.
The Queen actually knew in her heart how the assassination happened... so she would directly forgive Arthur without hesitation!
But then the problem comes...
Why did she suddenly take the initiative to contact the Vendôme family, with whom she had no previous communication, to find a princess for Albert? And why did she acquiesce after Albert got his music teacher Enelise Fanhua pregnant?
Even promoted the marriage of the two?
Although Enelise has the heritage of Yaness's teacher, Bettinadia Blossom, she was only a little girl when she left the Theocracy. According to the age of a half-elf, she would have been an adult when she arrived in Avalon.
, much younger than Yanis. Although the two of them knew each other, their relationship was not particularly good—at least not good enough for Yanis to ask Queen Sofia for a wedding on her behalf.
Will the Queen offend the Grand Duke Vendôme of Iris for the sake of their love - let’s not talk about whether it is love or not?
One of the prices you have to pay for being a royal family is that you have no autonomy in marriage. As a half-elf, Inelise is still a better choice in Avalon, which worships elves... But in other cases, if
If a member of the royal family chooses a low-status lover as his marriage partner, he will be subject to considerable political pressure.
Not only is the issue of a decline in the line of succession... it may even be used as a weapon by rebels with ulterior motives to shake the authority of the royal family.
Not to mention, this incident also indirectly triggered the Ten-Day War. Before Meg took action, the Avalon Navy was on the verge of collapse and was completely unable to prevent the Iris soldiers from landing. At that time, Meg had not yet taken action, so how could Queen Sophia be sure that Avalon would
Wallonia safe and sound?
After that, the royal family was cursed, and everyone in Avalon believed that it was the hands of the Star Antimony people. At that time, let alone whether they could win the war, at least it could be said that the people's support was supported. If they could show a decisive attitude, they might not be able to stop the mastermind behind the scenes.
.
But at that time, the Queen remained motionless. Because she knew that this was really not done by Xing Antimony. Once a war started against Xing Antimony, it would be attacked from both sides - there was no such possibility as "not necessarily"; and if it was against Star Antimony,
When the iris goes to war, Star Antimony will definitely interfere with it and reap the benefits.
From a certain perspective, all this trouble can be said to be caused by Albert.
——But from another perspective, Albert also said sincerely: "I didn't feel love from my mother, I only felt pressure and pointing fingers. As if I couldn't do anything well... As if I couldn't do anything well..."
It’s like stupid.”
Even after Prince Albert left the Glass Island, he never looked for him.
These two attitudes are completely opposite!
She offended the Duke of Iris for Prince Albert's freedom of marriage, and she showed no concern for Albert when he ran away from home.
This attitude of coexistence of neglect and attention...
Aiwass suddenly thought of something and looked at Isabel.
...Is it possible that the person Sophia values is Isabel from the beginning?
This strange feeling reminded Aiwass of a novel he had read in his previous life.
read
In that novel, the heroine, as the daughter of the patriarch of an ancient wealthy family and the most talented youngster in the family, left the family with only one of the weakest "guards" in the family and entered a small mountain town.
In a small family, the protagonist is allowed to touch and touch her, and the guards seem to be blind, and their favorability is locked inexplicably.
But it is love at first sight, but there has never been any love-making plot, and we have not seen each other very often. However, I am very possessive and even jealous... It gives people the impression that I am a reborn person, and I came here because I know the plot behind it.
The feeling of hugging your thighs.
Queen Sofia gave Aiwass this feeling.
She seems to know that Isabel is a transcendent of the Path of Beauty, and even knows that Isabel likes "Lulu's Magic Flute". That's why she wants to find the one with the most orthodox inheritance of the Path of Beauty, or "Lulu's Magic Flute"
The Vendôme family, one of the original performers, approached Albert for marriage.
And later, after the underage Albert had a relationship with Inelise, she not only did not ask for the child to be aborted quietly for the honor of the royal family, nor did she take action against Inelise, she even risked
The risk of offending the Archduke Vendôme, the symbol of Iris's military power, was the price of a child, but Isabel had to be saved.
After Isabel was born, Sofia kept letting Isabel study art with Yanis without touching any knowledge that might lead to assassination. The reason she gave to Aiwass before was to let Isabel keep a low profile - but the premise of this sentence
The condition was that she would not teach her those things in order to prevent Isabel from being assassinated.
So why Isabel? Is it just because she has shown her artistic talent since she was a child? But compared to real artists, Isabel's artistic talent does not seem to be that high.
Before, neither Aiwass, Sherlock... nor even Isabel herself realized there was any problem here. The only one who might vaguely sense it was Sherlock's brother Mycroft. That's why he was the first to confront Isabel.
Loyal, even when several members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew, were still alive, he had a good relationship with Isabel. And he, like Queen Sofia, ignored Isabel's two-year-old brother John.
It's like...she knew from the very beginning that Isabel would become a great person in the future.
Even in another possibility shown in the dungeon, she chose to marry Isabel after learning about Xing Antimony's conspiracy. She was trying to protect Isabel in this way, but she didn't expect that Xing Antimony had prepared a "
False Isabel".
——If you look at it from this perspective, then everything makes sense!
