"I have received the letter you sent a few days ago. Please rest assured that I have not forgotten our agreement: on May 22, I will be back in time for your wedding to Her Majesty the Queen and the coronation of Isabel I, on time.
Participate. I expect to arrive at Glass Island twenty days ago.
"I still live in the manor of the Duke of Vendôme. It's great here. All worries are unnecessary. I just can't hide my damn curiosity and I'm helping my friend investigate - you know, that's me
The person I told you about before——--in the process, he accidentally went deep into some relatively tense areas.
"There are so many specific incidents involved that I can't write them down in this letter at the moment. I will tell you in detail after we meet. The only thing I can reveal now is that they involve the former Iris Royal Family.
"During the process of investigating this matter, I also accidentally learned a secret that you would never imagine and is closely related to you. Please forgive me for being a little shy here, because I am so eager to see the respect with my own eyes.
The surprise and curiosity on the God Killer’s face——
"By the way, your heroic deeds of defeating the Fallen Sky Division have been spread here in Iris. You must not have guessed how much Iris people like you. Now sixteen theaters are rehearsing "The Brave Aiwass"
, "The Godkiller Pope" and other dramas
Now. Your famous black robe has also been made into the same style by the tailor's skill, and now it has become a best-selling fashion. I don't even dare to say that I know you, then there will definitely be a lot of your fans coming to Wangdo
The manor of Duke Tom, please spare me.
"We have only been separated for less than half a year. It is really hard for me to imagine how the little fox in a wheelchair in the past turned into such an amazing big man. This makes me feel very complicated... I can only say that Alai
Ms. Stern's education is good.
"I haven't contacted the friends you asked me to contact yet. But fortunately, I don't need their help, and the investigation here is progressing smoothly, so I don't have to worry about my safety.
"Now the case I am handling has reached a critical moment. In the next few days, I need to concentrate on processing some clues at hand, so I won't go into details here. If you write to ask, I'm afraid
We cannot handle your letter in time, so please do not reply.
"Please give my regards to Her Majesty the Queen, my friend. And please give this letter to my brother Mycroft.
"—Your faithful Sherlock Hermes."
Aiwass flipped through the letter sent by Sherlock and read every sentence out loud.
Isabel, on the other hand, sat on the bed in her pajamas and carefully checked the postmark on the letter.
She was a little confused: "The letter on May 12th...it's already the 19th now. Is this letter coming so slowly?"
After Aiwass finished reading, he shook off the letter in his hand, reached out and flicked the paper.
"—What do you think, Isa?"
"I feel...something's wrong."
Isabel thought: "I feel a subtle sense of dissonance, a dissonance. But I can't tell what is wrong..."
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with the letter sent by Sherlock. However, upon closer inspection, it felt normal.
Aiwass smiled and said: "That's why he sent it to me instead of to you. Sherlock was just worried that you didn't notice this... He was scolding you for being stupid. You have to teach him a lesson when he comes back."
As he spoke, Aiwass shook the letter and his expression became serious: "Actually, this is a letter asking for help."
"...a distress letter?"
Isabel frowned slightly and sat up from the bed: "Should we send the army to rescue?"
She didn't ask Aiwass how he could tell - because she knew Aiwass would never joke about such a thing.
Aiwass shook his head: "It doesn't have to be so exaggerated. Let me explain it to you from the beginning...
"This time he received a letter of distress from his friend Yassen de Vendôme and went to handle the case. The contact place he agreed with us in advance was Mr. Maurice Leblanc's cafe. If we want to write
This is where the letter will be sent...right?"
"Yes," Isabel nodded, "so this time I also sent the letter to this address. It started with what he said - 'Mr. Hermes, who is as hard-working as a bee'."
It seems that it's already mid-May, and Sherlock hasn't come back yet.
Isabel was somewhat anxious—she planned to write a letter to urge her.
After all, Sherlock was her and Aiwass's common friend, and one of Isabel's very few friends. He was even a witness to the first meeting between her and Aiwass. She hoped that Sherlock could attend this wedding no matter what.
.
Her letter was sent on May 10th, and Sherlock's reply was sent on May 12th. And when she got the letter now, it was already the 19th - only a few seconds away from the time Sherlock said.
Three days left, but he still hasn't come back.
"He called his proud 'curiosity' 'damn curiosity' and said that the matter involved the old royal family, but he did not name his friend - Yassen.
Mr. de Vendôme, the son-in-law of the Duke of Vendôme. He now lives in the Vendôme Manor, which shows that he is still investigating this matter and it has not yet concluded.
"The sentence 'Ms. Aleister's education is good' is an important key. Although most people think that Aleister is my old lover, a son of the moon during the Hermes Empire... But Aleister
Leicester is just a false identity for myself. You know this, and so does Sherlock. He said it deliberately, and the implication is clear - his letters are being watched.
"In other words, he is now in a state of being controlled. Although he can receive letters normally, he believes that if the letter is sent, it will definitely be censored. So he did not mention those secrets that outsiders do not know.
', this also gives me a hint.
"And the sentence 'I haven't contacted those friends you asked me to contact yet' is even more important.
"Because there are only two friends I asked him to contact... One is the assassins of the 'Eagle Eye' faction that he rejected. Because the problem his friend encountered this time may be related to Hawk Eye. And the other...
…”
At this point, Aiwass's eyes became profound: "It's brother Edward."
"...Sir Moriarty...he is the diplomatic ambassador."
Isabel was shocked: "Does the Iris dare to attack him?"
"You must not dare, especially after knowing how powerful I am..."
Aiwass smiled slightly, but there was not much smile on his lips: "After all, they also appeared in the war against the Fallen Division. But that's a different story for Sherlock.
"He said that if we don't let us write to him, he won't reply - this is actually an excuse for him to be unable to reply for a period of time. He also said that we should give this letter to his brother, which is actually
Just in case I don't see the problem here.
"That is to say, the whole process of writing this letter, as well as the finished letter, should have been under the supervision of others. They did not take action against Sherlock, presumably because they were asking him. However, they chose to"
Being imprisoned by him means that this matter probably involves some kind of sin and secret...mostly because he wants to silence him afterwards.
"His words 'I don't even dare to say that I know you' are actually the hidden message is 'he didn't tell anyone else that he knew us'. This may be to prevent him from being silenced immediately. Because if he is exposed
Knowing that he is unusually close to a big man in Avalon, those who imprison him must consider the risks of this matter."
"...Then if I write him a letter, will it hurt him?"
Isabel was suddenly startled and a little worried.
Aiwass shook his head: "On the contrary, you may have saved him. Because as the Queen of Avalon, you have already personally intervened in the matter, and clearly knew his whereabouts and situation, and asked him to reply -
—In order not to make you suspicious, Sherlock has an opportunity to send us a letter.
"In other words, they have no chance to deal with Sherlock cleanly and quietly. Although I don't know how they plan to deal with it next... but it is nothing more than transforming him into a child of the moon, or controlling him with drugs.
Something like that.”
"Then what do we do now?"
Isabel blurted out: "How about sending troops?"
Ever since Fallen Heaven Division, Isabel seems to have become somewhat dependent on sending troops.
She truly realized how powerful the Griffin Legion was, and instantly felt more confident.
"No need."
Aiwass shook his head slightly: "Sherlock said, 'You can't guess how much Iris likes you' and 'I'll tell you in detail after we meet.' This was actually a hint to me... He wanted me to personally
It's best to go there quietly."
He narrowed his eyes and softened his tone: "Originally, I wanted to dig out the family sword before the wedding... Now it seems that it may take a few days. I hope it won't be before the big day.
