The Palace of Silver and Tin is quite far from the port. If Aiwass and the others decide to go watch the excitement, they will probably have to borrow a gryphon to get to the scene. But it is very close to the Inspectorate.
So Aiwass was not in a hurry.
In his spare time, Aiwass could even take a bath and style his hair.
Although the room where Aiwass is staying temporarily is a guest room, it was also a room used by the late royal family before - there are quite a lot of such empty rooms in the Palace of Silver and Tin. There is a corner in the room where you can take a bath
, you just need to pull up a screen and it will be fine.
After changing into his bathrobe, Aiwass sat in front of the mirror. Lily was helping Aiwass take care of his hair behind him.
Isabel was sitting on the sofa, looking here from a distance.
Aiwass looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but frown slightly: "How about cutting it off."
It's not a matter of not looking good.
Aiwass actually cares about his own image.
It's not just about "looking good" or "not looking good" - to put it bluntly, Aiwass's appearance is definitely good. After all, he inherited it from his father, the one who could make the noble lady from Iris elope.
He has the perfect appearance for a commoner priest who is chasing after him. And Aiwass, in his mature and cold temperament, also has his mother's soft facial features that give people a sense of gentleness.
Aiwass's emphasis on his own image mainly comes from "purpose". That is, what kind of feeling his appearance can give people.
His own temperament is a warm temperament like the sun, like a fireplace. Although it is a warm color, it does not appear explosive and tough, but tends to be static - like a teacher with a good temper. This is a book.
A feeling that tends to be neutral.
Aiwass also deliberately took care of his image before.
In order not to make himself too sharp and appear too aggressive, he had a fluffy and slightly curly hairstyle. But now that his hair has grown longer, they have been straightened on their own.
Now that they are still shawl hair, they already look a bit feminine. Aiwass tried to clasp his fingers together, lower his head and close his eyes as if praying - but it no longer gave people the dazzling feeling it did before. It was like blazing.
The sun gradually began to deflect towards the moon.
There is no problem at the moment. But if it grows longer, reaching the back or even the waist... I am afraid that Aiwass will give people a sinister feeling at that time. If his temperament is too gentle, it will give people a sense of disobedience.
On the contrary, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of others.
After hearing this, Lily just calmly helped Aiwass comb his hair.
She casually picked up two strands of hair and braided it with an unusually skillful technique. Let it hang down to one of Aiwass's temples.
"Don't you look good, Master?"
Lily asked back: "I know what you are worried about...but I feel that at least there is no problem for now."
"It's no problem at the moment."
Aiwass thought for a while and felt okay: "How about changing your hairstyle?"
Isabel also ran over and took a closer look: "I think it's pretty good-looking. How about this, Aiwass? I want to see your hair grow longer...just to change your mood?"
Her warm breath gently blew on Aiwass's temples, making his hair sway slightly.
"so be it."
Aiwass replied helplessly.
It's rare for Her Royal Highness to take the initiative to ask for something she wants - for her autistic character, I'm afraid this requires a lot of courage.
If she refused, she might shatter the courage she had cultivated so hard.
Anyway, I no longer care about ministers, and there is basically no chance of promotion. I don’t need to care too much about what others think of me.
Aiwass explained to himself in his mind.
Now that Isabel finally has the courage to put forward her own ideas clearly, Aiwass is quite happy. To put it bluntly, he has the joy of raising children.
This shows that she has gradually come out of the depression in the past and has gradually returned to a normal person... and this was cultivated by Aiwass.
This promotion ceremony can be said to be very effective in increasing her confidence - although it is a test, it is also a lesson. Maybe it means that Sherlock has not gained much growth.
But this is normal, because his own desire for promotion is not strong enough. Naturally, he will not touch the real test in the ceremony.
But he was finally promoted, which is a good thing.
——In Aiwas' view, this actually shows that Sherlock actually has a heart problem.
Although he embarked on the path of wisdom, deep down in his heart he still hesitated about his choice. He was probably thinking, "Even if he fails this time, he can still use the path of authority to help him get promoted."
So I put it down.
The essence of this idea is actually that he hopes that someone will deny his wisdom path. Or conversely, he hopes that his path can be affirmed and supported by others.
This may be because Aiwass became a minister without charge.
Because Sherlock is a very proud and confident person. But after all, he is still too young now and has the unique anxiety of young people.
He has always admired his brother Mycroft. But now, his best friend Aiwass has become a minister, the same level as his brother...Isabelle is basically determined to become the next generation of Queen of Avalon. After all,
On Edward as Inspector General...
All the friends and people close to Shylock have become real "big shots".
And only he himself is still a "consultant to the Supervision Bureau."
This will make him feel a little confused.
Aiwass actually understands him quite well.
Because Aiwass once knew such a friend.
It's like an outstanding college student who graduated from a top prestigious school and resolutely chose a career that he loved but had nothing to do with his major and didn't have much future - such as an idol or an anchor, or a screenwriter for a game company
.
Then relying on his excellent talents and full enthusiasm, he became a very outstanding and famous person in this industry.
But one day, I suddenly heard that my former classmates, my roommates, and my good brothers had either become Yangtze River Scholars, deputies to the National People's Congress, associate professors, or chairman of the board.
General manager... At that time, he will always feel confused about the path he has chosen.
This is human nature.
——Am I the one who is wrong? Are the things I gave up the right ones?
Sherlock is at this stage now.
Because his talent for the authoritarian path is quite good, he was even offered to be a disciple by Meg's head teacher - if he grows up step by step, he will be able to reach the fifth level without any accident. At that time, as Meg's disciple
He will become the new Grand Arbitrator and Deputy Director of the Arbitration Hall.
And he actively rejected that future.
Because Shylock really has no interest in the authoritarian path.
——If Aiwass understands it from this perspective, then Sherlock’s psychology will be very clear.
He was very proud and held his head high. He didn't want to give up, but he felt confused. So he wanted to give up on himself and chose to hand over the initiative for promotion to pave the way for Aiwass and the others - in essence, he was actually
Looking for real failure.
At this time, a proper failure can "wake up" him and allow him to resume the authoritarian path that he has shelved. In that case, his wisdom path will probably become a path that will not affect his promotion on the authoritarian path.
"Part-time job" and "personal hobby".
But Aiwass wouldn't allow that.
Because that can’t be considered a “wake-up call”.
——It is not so much that he is looking for a reason to give up. It is better to say that he is looking for the motivation to persevere. It is like riding alone in the storm... Even if the body is wet by the rain curtain, even if the road ahead cannot be seen
, but he doesn't want to stop either.
A person who really wants to give up will not be so proud and stubborn. In order to protect themselves, they will find reasons for failure in advance.
This time Aiwass helped him get promoted, but it didn't solve the problem. Sherlock still had hesitation in his heart.
I hope this trip can untie the knot in his heart. Aiwass sighed in his heart.
Your Highness the Princess has begun to grow up, but it’s not okay for you, a senior, to regress...
Aiwass came back to his senses, touched a thin strand of hair on his left ear that had been braided by Lily, and smiled helplessly - you might as well just tie me a side ponytail.
After bathing, Aiwass put on his formal attire as a minister for the first time, put on his top hat and followed Isabel out.
——Aiwass was not in a wheelchair this time.
Just like Isabel and Sherlock - he also has to gradually give up those things that make him feel convenient.
I may have some shortcomings as I rely too much on wheelchairs and shapes.
What am I missing...confidence?
Slowly following behind the bouncing and extremely excited Isabel, Aiwass lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.
He has always believed that he is a fully grown person.
But now it seems... is this really the case?
Before this incident, Shylock also thought that he was perfect.
Or maybe, I simply haven’t reached the moment of change and awakening...
Following Aiwass, Lily looked at Aiwass and smiled slightly with relief.
