Pastor's Tantra

"……Huh?"

Yulia, who was listening in the corner outside the door, was suddenly startled.

The door of the princess's bedroom was quite thick, which made it difficult for her to hear clearly.

However, she seemed to vaguely hear...

"...I will accompany you to kill people?"

ah?

What is brother talking about?

Yulia raised her head in confusion and looked at Lily.

The two people exchanged quick glances.

——Did I hear it wrong?

——No, but it doesn’t matter.

Lily nodded slightly, then shook her head and stretched out her finger to make a silencing gesture.

Yulia nodded, then put her ear back again.

"What, what's the matter?"

David, who was standing upright with his hands on his chest, saw the sudden change in the expressions of the two girls and immediately became curious about the conversation in the room.

However, my father said that knights cannot steal.

No matter whether it is stealing money, stealing things, eavesdropping or stealing people, it is not allowed...

...But I’m really curious!

What on earth were they talking about, and why did Yulia's expression become so complicated?

David's heart suddenly became itchy.

Although I can't eavesdrop, it's okay to ask the eavesdropper, right?

"What on earth is Mr. Aiwas talking about?"

"Knight" lowered his voice and asked quietly.

However, Yulia ignored him completely, as if she didn't even hear him.

Lily noticed his expression, and took a half step back very considerately, making room for him with a half-smile.

But the knight hesitated for a moment, then shook his head vigorously, bravely and resolutely rejecting the bad temptation.

——Although he regretted it immediately after rejecting it, at least for that moment, David was still proud of himself for daring to refuse.

...That’s what I said, but I’m even more curious.

While David was still struggling at the door, a exclamation came from inside the house.

Because Isabel finally put down her paintbrush and looked back to see Aiwass.

As a result, she was almost so frightened that her legs went weak and she sat back down——

I saw Aiwass' wheelchair standing alone in the distance.

And Aiwass, who was standing behind her, was surrounded by black smoke.

It's not the black smoke that rises after burning something, but more like the reverse version of the white freezing air emitted by ice cubes.

These smokes seemed to have autonomous consciousness, and seemed to be showing off something - they turned into black snakes of energy, wrapped around Aiwass' body, protruded from the collar and wrapped around the back of Aiwass's head, lifting Aiwass up. Si's hair.

The shadow under Aiwass was boiling like a boiling soup pot, bubbling. It was like something was about to be formed but then shattered.

Seeing this scene, Isabel's first reaction was to be shocked.

It's not that he's worried that Aiwass is going to murder him... but that he's worried that Aiwass is mentally controlled by some demon and has taken away his mind.

And soon, she reacted. This is Aiwass showing himself a secret.

"Since Isabel you are going to show me your secret," Aiwass said softly, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "then I will also show you my secret. This way we will be even."

Obviously her tone was exactly the same as usual, but for some reason... Isabel always felt that there was something evil in her words.

As if in conjunction with Aiwass's words, a shadow poked out from Aiwass's sleeves. The shadow like a black snake slightly wrapped around Isabel's slender white neck and raised her head slightly. It's like hooking your chin with your fingers.

"Tsk."

I saw Aiwas reaching out and patting his shadow with some dissatisfaction, and it immediately retracted again.

Seeing this scene, Isabel reacted immediately.

Could it be...

Aiwass is "Miss Aleister"?

——Her guess was indeed right, Aiwass was Aleister!

In an instant, all kinds of information gathered in her mind. The oddities immediately made sense.

No wonder, when she painted Aiwass's portrait before, she felt that the sunset was very suitable for him.

That fiery red-purple radiance is exactly the reflection of Aiwass's heart.

He is born with the twin paths of devotion and transcendence, and is also a righteous demon possessed by the shadow demon... And there is no "Miss Aleister" in this world!

Thinking of this, Isabel suddenly became excited. Even the previous fear and depression were forgotten.

But she was also worried about Aiwass.

——This is the Palace of Silver and Tin, no one will discover it, right?

As for the fact that she would be murdered by Aiwass, she had never thought about it. The reason why Isabel can't make friends is because she is too sensitive to other people's malice.

Even among very good friends, sometimes evil thoughts may arise. Although those evil thoughts were quickly dispelled by reason and would not be expressed at all... But for Isabel, she could vaguely feel them the moment she had those thoughts.

If you know that the other person also hates you and is taking advantage of you, it will be difficult to ignore them and pretend that you never knew about it.

It would be better to know nothing from the beginning.

But she had never felt this emotion from Aiwass.

There was no malice, no jealousy, no greed... the only thing that made her slightly uncomfortable was the occasional "pity" that Aiwass had that was close to fatherly love and a little superior.

Although Isabel usually has a weak personality, she actually doesn't like others looking at her with pity. That would make her realize that she does need to rely on others. But she actually wants to make herself stronger.

"Wait a minute, Aiwass..."

Isabel suddenly spoke: "Don't talk yet..."

She was clearly in her bedroom, but Isabel looked around like a thief.

When she saw the "window" Yanis had drawn for herself in the room, her eyes paused slightly, and her expression suddenly became a little embarrassed and nervous.

——The teacher is not watching right?

This thought came to her mind.

But as soon as this thought occurred, Isabel immediately felt as if someone was really watching her and eavesdropping on the conversation. I felt a little uncomfortable all over my body, as if I was wearing a sweater instead of underwear.

So she kept a straight face, made a serious gesture of silence to Aiwass, and then tiptoed to the door. She first listened at the door for a while and found that there was no sound coming from outside. Then he opened the door, leaked a crack, and looked around quietly outside.

Fortunately, there is no one.

Then she closed the door, leaned against it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Who am I to know, Aiwass?"

Isabel trotted back and asked curiously and nervously in a low voice: "Will you be caught? Do you want me... to help you hide?"

"It's okay, Her Majesty the Queen knows about it."

Aiwass said briefly: "But not many others know...for example, Sherlock and the others don't know.

"Remember to hide it for me."

"I will!"

Isabel felt her heart pounding and had an exciting feeling that she had done something bad, so she answered seriously.

In fact, if the Queen hadn't directly revealed Aiwass's vest... he would not have revealed the identity of "Aleister" at this time.

He thought he would take it out to tease Sherlock, David and Isabel.

Both Yulia and Lily knew this. Yanis has the ability and habit to peek everywhere through paintings, so she should know everything. The bishop is a smart man, and Aiwass never thought of hiding it from the couple. He should also know it.

The rest of the people probably don't know the relationship between Aiwass and Aleister.

For example, Edward, Sherlock, David and Isabel.

Now that the queen knows about this and doesn't have any major reaction, there is actually no need for him to hide his identity. After all, if you really tell them clearly, the other party will definitely side with Aiwass - this is mainly Aiwass's bad taste.

Aiwass has a bad personality and wants to do some pranks to amuse his friends. But he didn't want to do something so bad that it would damage the relationship with friends... Then it would be fun to create a new identity and then say some ambiguous words to make the other party misunderstand.

——I didn’t mean to lie to you, I told you the truth. It's just that the truth is not quite complete.

Now, since Isabel seems to be in a bad mood, why not give her something to distract her attention.

The so-called "ultimate move" cannot be kept for too long...it will become boring if left for too long. Especially Isabel is quite smart. She might be able to guess it soon, and the queen might mention it to her.

If she knew about this first and Aiwass showed her the truth, it would be a bit embarrassing and ugly. It's better to reveal the mystery now and bring some surprises.

Magic is always best done when the other party doesn't understand the principle, or even knows what's going to happen next.

——And the effect is indeed very significant.

Now Isabel could not care less about her fear. Now her thoughts were all about Aiwass and Aleister.

It feels like it has changed from a net-suppressing cloud state to a melon-eating state.

If we explore her past now, it shouldn't make her feel sad and fearful, right?

Although it will be a bit disappointing, curiosity and fear, excitement and sadness can just balance it out.

"In exchange," Aiwass whispered, "now let me see your secret?"

"……good."

Isabel's expression softened slightly, and her eyes were no longer as sparkling as before, but they were not as dull as before.

And just like at school, it returned to a more normal state.

Under Aiwass's gaze, she opened her drawer with a key and took out a thick notebook.

"This is the diary left by my family..."

She said softly: "From eleven years ago until now. The diaries of eight people are here."

"In the same diary?"

Aiwass asked curiously, but did not touch it.

He asked politely: "Can I see it?"

"Just for you to see."

Isabel put her hands on her knees and said seriously: "Because this is the version copied by me... I am the one who wrote it."

She tried to sit up straight and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Of course, there is also my diary at the end. You don't need to read that part."

If you say that, then you can't say that about this matter.

Aiwass thought.

——You didn’t tell me that I didn’t want to see it yet. But once you said it, I started to want to see it.

Thank you to the three alliance leaders who were fed by Tianzelu, and thank you to the alliance leaders who were fed by Lightning Silver Wolf~

I seem to have a cold... Chapter 2 will still be a little late, meow
