Aiwass was keenly aware that Lily had fallen into a state of sadness and melancholy.
Her soul was in pain, as if being stabbed by needles and being roasted by fire.
But at the same time, Lily didn't cry, nor did she look like she was about to cry. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly... as if she wanted to laugh, but it just turned out ugly.
"What's wrong?"
Aiwass asked in a low voice with concern.
Lily shook her head slightly and said nothing.
She looked very tired, and even had no strength to speak. Her whole person was filled with a feeling of decadence and despondency, empty and light, like a homeless little ghost.
"-Who is Antlers?"
Aiwass soon realized that it was the antlers.
Lily was silent for a while and then replied softly: "Minister Drost."
She didn't call him "that man" or "my biological father" with complicated emotions like before. Instead, she called him by his first name coldly...
"——Then tell me about it."
Aiwass took Lily and sat down next to the lamp.
The time limit for this ceremony is only one hour. But now almost half an hour has passed.
But he was not in a hurry to find the Holy Spear or chase down the remaining two people - rather than rush to kill them all and harm others, it was better to take care of his own people first.
"Sadness, pain, hatred... these things are like wine, which will become more mellow over time."
Aiwass said softly: "On the other hand, if you can taste it early and share it with others... it will be a kind of drunken sweetness."
"He said……"
Lily was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but speak out.
Because she originally wanted to talk to someone.
When chatting with Princess Isabel before, Her Royal Highness the Princess had angrily scolded him when she heard that Lily's biological father was Minister Drost. At that time, Lily was still comforting Her Royal Highness the Princess in a low voice and at the same time excusing her father.
It doesn't matter if you have a lover, it can only be regarded as a matter of personal ethics at best.
But when you give birth to an illegitimate child, the situation is different.
Illegitimate children are dishonorable to the entire family and are very troublesome.
If an illegitimate child is accepted, it means that the head of the family may prefer this child. The inheritance of the family property by the illegitimate child is also unfair to the children who originally lived in the family. From the perspective of outsiders, the blood of the family will also become unfair.
pure.
And in fact, illegitimate children do have the right to inherit. Therefore, fierce quarrels will also break out in the family... This often represents the arrival of chaos and the end of family ties.
But if the illegitimate child is not accepted and left undisciplined and embarrassed outside - even if the illegitimate child does not inherit the family name, it will be regarded as a member of the family by other interested people and used as a bullet of public opinion to attack the family.
As long as an illegitimate child is born, no matter where it is... it will only bring chaos and stain to the family.
As illegitimate children, they themselves are very pitiful. First of all, they are not wrong and are completely innocent...
However, if they join the family, they will be looked down upon and bullied; if they live outside the family, they can easily be tricked by the family's political opponents into doing bad things to attack the family that abandoned them; even if they work hard and have superior abilities, they can rely on their
Success achieved through one's own efforts will also be regarded as "favor due to the blood of the other half."
However, Princess Isabella did not know that it was not that other ministers had few illegitimate children. It was that they all stripped their illegitimate children of their surnames and sent them to other families as servants.
This situation is not uncommon. Because these illegitimate children are prohibited from publicizing their origins, it is difficult to find out where those illegitimate children were ultimately sent unless asked face-to-face.
Because of this, Lily wanted to defend Minister Drost at that time... because she was doing well in the Moriarty family. Old Moriarty was very kind to her and allowed her to read books; and since she was a child,
The young master Aiwass who brought her up was also very sensible and gentle, and was even willing to ask the princess for an extra place to study in order to fulfill her wish.
When Princess Isabel reprimanded Minister Drost, Lily felt that he was not that bad after all - it was precisely because her father chose a good family for her that she could live a stable and happy life now. She didn't have to fight with other people, and she didn't have to fight with other people.
There is no need to be bullied even if others look down upon you.
...But now, Lily discovered that this was not arranged by old Drost.
After Lily became Aiwass's personal maid, she was actually half "Moriarty"; but Minister Drost still cared about her going to school and being in public, even regardless of the Moriarty family.
To save her face, she also hired an assassin to kill her, just to prevent her identity as an illegitimate child from being exposed and causing trouble for herself.
This means that the relationship between the Drost family and the Moriarty family is not that good.
In other words, the preferential treatment she received in the Moriarty family was not because of her father's reputation. It was simply because of the good people she met in the Moriarty family.
This made Lily feel cold.
——My biological father killed his mother, and now he wants to murder himself. And I still have complex emotions towards him, mixed with some kind of hatred, some kind of gratitude, some kind of curiosity, some kind of grievance,
Some kind of yearning... But now, these emotions have all turned into murderous intent.
She thanked the wrong person. The person who was truly worthy of gratitude, the only person worthy of repaying, was always right in front of her.
It's really ridiculous. She thought her father had feelings for her.
"...That's it."
After listening to Lily's narration, Aiwass nodded slightly.
"Let me help you solve this matter. Let me think about it..."
He fell into thinking for a long time, and then replied softly: "I won't let him be promoted...but don't take action. In his eyes, you have become a subordinate of 'Grey Green', and you have taken over his murderous job."
order, then you just keep quiet and don't make him suspicious. This way you can be in a safer situation.
"Within a month, he must die.
"If you can't do it outside, leave it to me. I'll kill him for you. But if you want to do it yourself, then I will also give you the final chance to execute him.
"In any case, it is inhumane to order a child to kill her father; but if the child spontaneously avenges the murdered mother and fights back for himself who is about to be murdered, then this is justified.
"But no matter what, I will protect you. You are more or less raised by the Moriarty family. Since you can't be 'Drost', you can be 'Moriarty'. You also know that your adoptive father is now suspected
Already dead...Whether it's me or Edward who inherits the family, I will give you the surname 'Moriarty'."
Aiwass did not say anything like "Cry if you want to", but said seriously: "Also, don't cry...that man is not worth your tears for him.
"If you can't help it, just laugh. Don't cry for the past, but laugh for the future."
Speaking of this, Aiwass suddenly thought of the poem written by Prince Lloyd, so he recited softly:
"One day I will break free from these fetters made of lead;
“I will rise with the smoke, free as the wind;
"I will have a shining day, as bright as the stars, as bright as the moonlight..."
He felt that this poem was perfect for Lily at this moment.
The voyeur who bound her fate would be removed, and she would be free.
One day, she will rise and shine her own light.
Not as "Droost's illegitimate son", but as "Lily" herself.
Aiwass looked at Lily and said seriously: "You should be happy and laugh out loud for such a future. If you are still worried, it can only be because revenge has not yet been completed.
"——So, don't be afraid. I am with you."
After he said that, he slowly stood up and moved his body a little.
And Lily also stood up simultaneously with him, disappearing into the shadows silently.
They chatted here for nearly fifteen minutes, and the remaining time of the ceremony was only about one-third.
But Aiwass was not nervous at all.
"Don't go looking for the Holy Spear yet."
Aiwass made a decision: "Let's collect some interest for you first——
"——Shadow Demon, lead the way. I'm going to kill someone."
"Ho ho..."
For some reason, Shadow Demon returned to his hoarse and deep voice in front of Lily: "Such sweet revenge, such fresh flesh and blood... You finally have the opportunity to show your fangs and show the evil nature of your nature.
"It is my pleasure, my master. I will kill... for you. I will kill for you all the time - kill everyone."
