Chapter 54 Aiwass: I Like It Very Much
Avalon is an island country, and the Silver and Tin Palace in the capital Glass Island is built on an island within an island.
At the front of the Avalon Bridge leading to the Silver and Tin Palace, an old elf with skin like bark and green pupils like a wild wolf stood upright. The tall and straight figure looked like a tree in the winter night.
"I'll send you here."
The old housekeeper told the maid Lily: "Take good care of Master Aiwass."
"Yes, Mr. Oswald."
Lily replied respectfully.
Under the old housekeeper's gaze, she pushed Aiwass's wheelchair onto the bridge.
The sun sets very early in early winter. The deep blue night sky is not yet dark, and the sapphire-like lake shows extremely beautiful waves under the reflection of the street lights on both sides of the bridge.
The tall white griffins are like stone lions, and they quietly land on the stone platforms on both sides of the street lights when night falls.
When Aiwas passed by, white griffins would open their eyes and look at him from time to time. Their pupils were red or blue like gemstones, crystal clear, reflecting the color of the light.
Their pure white feathers reflected the orange-yellow light of the street lamps, shining with a sacred light.
"It's so beautiful..."
The girl with long flaxen curly hair was also here for the first time.
She was immersed in this beautiful wonder and couldn't help but say: "It reminds me of your eyes."
"... What did you say?"
Aiwas, who was suddenly teased, was a little unresponsive for a while: "Griffins?"
But Lily was not shy, but said as a matter of course: "I'm talking about the color of this lake, which is very similar to the color of Master Aiwas's eyes."
"Is that so."
Hearing this, Aiwas also looked around the griffins and looked at the lake reflected under the night light: "I didn't pay much attention... Now that you mention it, it is indeed a bit similar."
Hearing this, the griffins on both sides of the bridge burst into low and kind laughter.
Lily was shocked to realize that these white griffins could understand human language.
Her cheeks flushed immediately and she dared not speak anymore. She just lowered her head and pushed the wheelchair.
Because this meeting was not an official meeting and did not require a meeting with Her Majesty the Queen, the Royal Household Steward did not need to show up. Under the guidance of a male servant, Lily took Aiwass to the side hall.
The Silver and Tin Hall was always brightly lit. Even the side hall where the royal heirs lived was no exception.
Even if there were only a few heirs left in the royal family and even one-tenth of the rooms in the side hall could not be occupied, the lights in all the rooms had to be lit. This was to allow the residents of the Red and White Queen District to see at any time and reassure them - to tell them that the Queen was always with them.
And when Aiwass arrived, a sumptuous dinner was ready.
All the dishes were placed on the table, not served slowly like at home.
Aiwass saw at a glance that the dinner included grilled freshwater fish, fried codfish strips, fried frog legs wrapped in bread crumbs, lamb stewed with radish, lemon oysters, and a few crispy roasted pigeons.
There was also seafood soup made of clams, razor clams and shrimps, and vanilla and pineapple double ice cream. Almost all of them were dishes that Aiwass liked to eat. At a glance, it was almost all meat and seafood, and the only green thing was a strange spinach cake.
... Doesn't the little princess like to eat vegetables?
Aiwass had a doubt in his mind.
But soon, his doubt was explained:
"This is what I found out, Mr. Aiwas likes to eat."
Princess Isabel, sitting at the table, looked at Aiwas. Her beautiful eyes, like the finest emeralds, reflected the brilliance of the silver tableware, shining with the colors of joy and expectation: "I wonder if you like it?"
She wore a crown of flowers on her head and a pearl necklace on her white neck. There was also a small rose carved from citrine on the necklace. The pure white off-shoulder dress was decorated with green leaves reminiscent of nature. She folded her hands on her knees and smiled gently.
She was so beautiful, with her waist-length light golden hair naturally scattered, which seemed to sparkle under the light. Just like the silver and tin palace shining in the midday sun.
So much so that Lily couldn't help holding her breath, shocked by the pure clarity and beauty.
Perhaps because of her one-quarter elf blood, Princess Isabel looked younger than her actual age - she was obviously nineteen years old, but she seemed younger than Aiwas.
She looked like she was only a little older than Miss Yulia. Lily thought.
Princess Isabel's waist was very slender, but her chest curve was not obvious... It even seemed to be a little smaller than Miss Yulia, who was fifteen years old.
This was probably the only flaw in this beauty. Or it could be said that it was because of the blurred meaning of sex and temptation that this beauty seemed so pure.
Even Aiwas held his breath for a moment.
This was also the first time he met Princess Isabel. Although he had known her beauty for a long time and had seen her model in the game, perhaps because of the influence and bonus of the Path of Beauty...she was far more "beautiful" in reality.
"...I like her very much."
Sitting quietly in a wheelchair, Aiwas, who looked gentle and kind, answered from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you very much for your tolerance and care, Your Highness.
"I was just stunned by your beauty and was unable to respond to your question immediately. Please forgive me if I was rude. "
"Then please eat quickly, Mr. Aiwass."
Princess Isabel just urged with a smile.
She was just a little surprised that when she looked at Aiwass, she didn't feel the timidity and nervousness when she met a stranger... It was as if she already knew him.
——It turns out that holding Aiwass when he was a child really works!
So she immediately thought of Aiwass losing his parents when he was so young.
According to Mr. Sherlock's reasoning, Aiwass's biological parents should have led away the iron hook demon and saved Aiwass's life. The tragedy of this story made her sad.
Although it may have nothing to do with her, it may also be that she was too into the play-Isabel seemed to be shining with a maternal brilliance: "Let's eat and talk, Mr. Aiwass. You must be hungry after all the way here..."
Suddenly, she heard a light cough in her ear.
At this time, she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something!
——That was what the teacher reminded her in advance!
So Isabel coughed, forced the topic to change, and quickly added: "In addition, my teacher Janice also hopes to participate in this dinner - if you are willing."
... What a blunt turn.
Was she reminded?
"- Of course."
Aiwass obediently picked up the knife and fork, smiled and replied: "I have admired Master Janice for a long time."
"Oh?"
A voice with mature charm sounded softly: "Have you seen my work too?"
The elf who looked less than 30 years old, with the mature charm of a woman and the innocence of a girl, appeared at the table unknowingly. Sitting closer to Aiwas than the princess, she looked at the boy with platinum hair with interest.
Janice was tall and slender, with cream-colored curly hair and side bangs covering one eye. Her eye color was exactly the same emerald green as Princess Isabel, and she was only one finger shorter than Aiwas - just looking at her height and elegant straight back, you can tell that she is undoubtedly a pure-blooded elf.
It was as if she had been here from the beginning, but Aiwas hadn't noticed her; it was as if she was just a projection "painted on", which looked a little illusory under the reflection of the light.
Aiwas immediately realized that this was "reflection in the painting". It is an extraordinary ability that the "painter" profession can only acquire after reaching level 40 and advancing to "art master".
The painter can obtain part of the power of the twin mirror, so that the painting can be used as a mirror. He can hide his true body in the painting, walk freely in the painting, and reflect his projection in reality, appearing in any place where there is a painting.
Let the real become false, and the false become real.
Turn reality and paintings into her twin mirrors.
There is teleportation ability in the nine great ways, but "reflection in the painting" is the lowest level and the lowest cost.
In this version, the reflection teleportation of the path of beauty is the only means of teleportation.
No wonder Master Janice can travel around the world. She can teleport at will, let alone mortals... even extraordinary people have no chance to stop her.
"——Of course."
In front of Master Yannis himself, Aiwass was not afraid and spoke calmly: "Whether it is "Visiting the Temple of Acropolis", "Golden Dawn" or "Crystal Sea", I like them very much."
Although I haven't read it... but you listen to me slowly.
Aiwass added in his heart.
