The Moriarty family did not hire a live-in gardener, but hired a famous gardener to take care of the garden from time to time.
Juan Sorenson was once a professor of biology at the Royal University of Law. He was famous in the circle of the knight family because he arranged his garden beautifully and grew flowers well.
Because of this, his status and income have become higher after his retirement. Many people want to ask Lao Juan to design garden layouts for their homes, and it has even become a trend among famous families. But if you want to invite him, you still need to
A face-saving person... As a full professor, old Moriarty has this kind of face. He is an old friend of Professor Sorensen.
"Did you enjoy your trip, Aiwass?"
Old Juan also watched Aiwass and Edward grow up, so he knew why Aiwass was away during this period, and he could directly call Aiwass and Edward by their names: "You came back at the right time - today
It's rare that Edward doesn't go out."
"Didn't he go to work today?" Aiwass stopped and asked carefully.
"Yes, Edward seems to be entertaining guests. The man is wearing a navy uniform and looks quite young. He should be about the same age as Edward."
The old gardener thought for a while and then replied: "Maybe he is a friend of Edward. I think the young man was very happy when he saw Edward."
"...It's really rare that my eldest brother actually has friends of the same age."
Aiwass was surprised: "I've never heard of it."
According to Edward's old-fashioned, serious, and unsmiling character, he was able to make Sherlock as a friend entirely because Sherlock was also a weirdo.
Edward's appearance is different from that of Aiwass and Julia. He is not handsome in any way. He can only be regarded as having regular features and being neat and tidy. When he wears formal clothes, he is as serious as a conference speaker.
And it is reassuring. And if he puts on civilian clothes and puts down his neatly slicked-back oily hair, he can easily melt into the crowd.
He is a person who doesn't like to share his thoughts and secrets with others. Even though he has been friends with Sherlock for many years, he still keeps almost all secrets from Sherlock.
And this is one of Edward's few advantages in interpersonal communication - at least he has a strict mouth and will never reveal the gossip he hears to others.
He always has a straight face and rarely reacts to other people's jokes or stories, and he never chooses to watch the atmosphere when he "should be cheering". He has always said what he has to say, and if
If he has nothing to say, he will remain silent.
He is very disgusted with those who approach him just to flatter him. If his disgust is extreme, he will even get up and leave without giving the other person face. And his status as a widower makes the young women who admire him feel troublesome and helpless.
It's not easy to get close either.
——As the saying goes, the living cannot win against the dead.
Because of this, when Edward appeared in a more relaxed social situation, even the voices of other people chatting and laughing could be suppressed by his presence. Later, Edward soon realized this, so he simply
not going.
Edward's few hobbies are probably music, which is one of the reasons why he and Sherlock can become friends. However, Sherlock prefers lyrical and melodious music, which can relax his brain; while Edward prefers music.
A solemn, heavy and tragic style.
But occasionally they attend the same concert.
When Sherlock came back, he obviously became more relaxed; after Edward came back, he became more silent and depressed.
I feel that if Edward were in modern times, he would be the kind of loyal user who would turn on the Internet and cloud on time at midnight.
Contrary to Edward's extreme lack of "friends" in the field of "friends", Edward's reputation in the field of work is extremely high. He is steady, reliable, crisp, rigorous and meticulous in his work, and can always keep secrets - and because of this, he can
He took the position of Inspector General of Glass Island at a young age.
The Founding family's influence in this regard was minimal.
After all, the Moriarty family can only have one heir in the end, and the others can't even keep the Moriarty name in the end. And after all, they are just adopted sons with nothing to rely on. There is no normal founding family formed by long-term intermarriage or marriage.
A network of close relationships.
There were so many founding families, but in the end this position fell to Edward. This is enough to prove his outstanding personal ability.
On the other hand, the fact that such a young and promising Edward cannot find many friends of the same age outside of work is enough to prove how troublesome he is to those who want to get close to him.
On the other hand, those very old people have a good relationship with Edward and speak highly of him. They can be said to be the idols of middle-aged and elderly women. The kind of social interaction that is more steady, slow, equal and relaxed.
The rhythm is just right for the silent and sensitive Edward.
Aiwass became somewhat interested in this "young navy", so he followed Lily towards the gate.
Before I even knocked on the door, the door opened by itself.
The person who opened the door was Edward's valet. He saw Aiwass and Lily coming back from the window, so he came over and opened the door.
"Where's Yulia?"
After Aiwass entered the door, he found that Yulia, who was always the first to greet him, was not there. He was suddenly a little strange and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Yulia is still studying alchemy in the Palace of Silver and Tin."
The red-haired young man quickly replied: "Mr. Wade and Mary are following. They will be back in the evening. The royal family will send a coachman to take them back... They will not spend the night in the Palace of Silver and Tin."
Mary is Julia's personal maid, and old Wade is James' personal valet.
It sounds like sending a child to a special education class... except that the destination is the palace, which seems to be the case.
The original elf butler Oswald is still missing, so Wade temporarily becomes the butler of the Moriarty family.
"Actually, it's okay to stay overnight," Aiwass thought for a while, "Isabel also likes Yulia quite a lot. Mr. Wade is also old, and it's not good for him to run so far every day... Why not let Mary follow Yulia?"
Let Ya live in the Palace of Silver and Tin. I will just tell Her Majesty the Queen or Isabel later."
The White Queen is really not too close to the Red Queen. Although the Moriarty family also has a villa in the Red Queen that they don't usually use, but Yulia obviously doesn't want to live there by herself. And Isabel also really wants a playmate.
of.
The Palace of Silver and Tin, which could easily accommodate more than twenty royal family members, now became empty. Even if it was not scary, it would feel a little lonely.
Although Aiwass is a little uncomfortable and a little disappointed because he can't see his sister who sticks to him every day. But he is very happy that she can find friends and what she wants to do.
As for the fact that Yulia wanted to see Aiwass - it would be better for Aiwass to go to the Palace of Silver and Tin to find them. It was a two-hour commute, and Aiwass still felt a little sorry for Yulia.
Anyway, it's just two more trips. Now he doesn't have to use a wheelchair, and the carriage is not too slow. If he is in a hurry, he can also borrow a griffon.
After Aiwass entered the door, he saw that the living room was extremely bright.
He was stunned for a while, and then realized...this was the magic painting "Golden Dawn" given to him by Master Yanis.
The bright golden light mixed with the crimson rising sun rose from the center of the sacred building made of gold and fell on the two people who were talking in the living room. It made the time seem to have returned to the time of sunrise.
The man sitting on the sofa is indeed, as Professor Sorenson said, about the same age as Edward.
When he heard someone approaching, he stopped the conversation very nervously.
"I'm back."
Edward nodded to Aiwass and showed a rare smile.
He looked at the man and said, "Just in time, Captain Camus. Aiwass is back. Please repeat your question."
"Is there anything else about me?"
Aiwass said with interest, leaning against the side of the sofa where Edward was sitting.
He looked at the young marine named Camus.
Camus has neat short hair and a long, thin face. His nose bridge is high, his cheekbones are high, and his eyes that should be bright under the deep eye sockets now look extremely haggard.
"Closely related to you."
Edward turned around and replied seriously: "Do you know anything about the woman named Aleister?"
"……ha?"
Aiwass was stunned for a moment.
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Minister... you are qualified to know this matter."
Captain Camus was obviously aware of Aiwass' appointment.
"Because this matter is top secret and involves diplomatic secrets and spies, theoretically you cannot tell anyone..."
Camus looked at Lily nervously.
Although he knows that there are no secrets for the personal maid, if Lily wants to know, she can ask Aiwass... But from Camus's standpoint, he must prevent all possibilities of leaks. In other words, all leaks from his side
possible.
Lily has also become very familiar with this situation.
She nodded slightly and left the living room to chat with Edward's valet.
"Say it, Captain."
Aiwass looked at Camus: "What exactly do you want to say."
"...I lost a letter."
Camus lowered his head and missed Aiwass' sharp gaze: "That is an important piece of information intercepted from Iris——
"According to the feedback from Iris' agents in Star Antimony, Miss Aleister, the royal agent of Avalon... is actually a spy of the Star Antimony people."
