Pastor's Tantra

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 Sorensen was a professor of biology at King's Law University. He is famous in the knight family circle because he arranges his garden beautifully and grows flowers well.

Because of this, his status and income became higher after his retirement. Many people wanted to ask Lao Juan to design garden layouts for their homes, and it even became a trend among famous families. But if you want to invite him here, you still need to have some face... As a full professor, old Moriarty has this 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 felt strange: "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 Yulia. He is not handsome in any way, he can only be regarded as having regular features and being neatly groomed. When he's in formal attire, he's as stern and reassuring as the kind of convention speaker he would be. And if he puts on civilian clothes and puts down his neatly combed-back oily hair, he can easily melt into the crowd.

He is a person who doesn't like to tell others his inner thoughts and secrets. 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 doesn't choose to watch the atmosphere at the right time when he "should be cheering". He always said what he had to say, and if he had nothing to say he would remain silent.

He is very disgusted with those who approach him just to flatter him. If his disgust reaches the extreme, he will even get up and leave without giving the other person face. And his status as a widower made the young women who admired him feel troublesome, unable to start and difficult to approach.

——As the saying goes, the living cannot win against the dead.

Because of this, when Edward appears in a more relaxed social situation, even the voices of other people chatting and laughing can be muffled by his presence. Edward soon realized this, so he simply stopped going.

One of Edward's few hobbies is probably music, which is one of the reasons why he and Sherlock can become friends. However, Sherlock prefers a more lyrical and melodious style, which can relax his brain; while Edward prefers a solemn, heavy and tragic style.

But occasionally they attend the same concert.

When Sherlock came back, he became obviously 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 - it is precisely because of this that he can take the position of Inspector General of Glass Island at a young age.

The Founding families had little influence in this regard.

After all, the Moriarty family can only have one heir in the end, and the others can't even keep the Moriarty name. And after all, they were just adopted sons with nothing to rely on, and they did not have a close network of relationships formed by long-term intermarriage and marriage between the normal founding families.

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. It can be said to be the idol of middle-aged and elderly women. The more steady, slow, equal and relaxed social 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, 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, and he was suddenly a little surprised. I also feel 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. Wade Sr. is James' personal valet.

It sounds like sending a child to a specialty 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, Yulia obviously doesn't want to live there by herself. And it just so happened that Isabel also wanted a playmate.

The palace of silver and tin, which could easily accommodate more than twenty members of the royal family, was now empty. Even if it's not scary, it can be a bit lonely.

Although he can't see his sister who clings to him every day, Aiwass is a little uncomfortable and somewhat disappointed. But she was able to find friends and find what she wanted to do, which still made Aiwass happy.

As for Yulia wanting to see Aiwass - then it would be better for Aiwass to go to the Palace of Silver and Tin to find them. The two-hour commute made Aiwass feel a little sorry for Yulia.

Anyway, it’s just two more trips. Now he no longer has to use a wheelchair, and the carriage is not too slow to drive. If he was in a hurry, he could borrow a gryphon.

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. Let the time at this moment seem to have returned to the sunrise.

The man sitting on the sofa was indeed, as Professor Sorenson said, about the same age as Edward.

When he heard someone approaching, he stopped the conversation very nervously.

"He's back."

Edward nodded to Aiwass and showed a rare smile.

He looked at the man and said, "Just right, 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 was high, his cheekbones were high, and his eyes that should have been bright under the deep eye sockets now looked 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."

Captain Camus was apparently aware of Aiwass's appointment.

"Because this matter is top secret and involves diplomatic secrets and spies. In theory, you cannot tell anyone..."

Camus looked at Lily nervously.

Although he knew that there were no secrets for the personal maid, and if Lily wanted to know, she could ask Aiwass... But from Camus's point of view, he had to prevent any possibility of leaks. In other words, there is a possibility that all secrets will be leaked from one's own side.

Lily had become very adept at this situation as well.

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 looked away from Aiwass's sharp gaze: "That is an important piece of information intercepted from Iris——

"According to Iris' feedback from Star Antimony's spies, Avalon's royal agent Miss Aleister... is actually a spy for the Star Antimony people."

"……ah?"

Aiwass was stunned.
