Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 490 Yes, I love him

"Isabel...do you like Aiwass?"

Shafiya asked seriously.

For the first time, Shafiya did not address Isabel as your highness.

Because at this moment, she regards Isabel as her descendant...even as her own child.

Isabel was also keenly aware of this level.

She closed her eyes gently, stroked her chest, closed her eyes and whispered softly: "Yes."

The past flowed through Isabel's heart, and just thinking about it made her heart warm.

"When...when did it start?"

Shafia asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, Isabel paused slightly and opened her eyes wide.

……yes.

Speaking of which, when did I fall in love with Aiwass...

Was it when he freed himself from the succubus' control? Was it when he was helping him through the death of his grandmother?

Is it because he helped him solve the death curse that has plagued the royal family for more than ten years?

Or is it because he changed his personality and made friends with him...

...No, neither.

Isabel thought of the magic painting she had painted for Aiwass.

She had fallen in love with him long before any of this. It's just that she didn't realize it at that time...

——Now that I think about it carefully, when I remember this name so deeply that I can no longer forget it... it was at the very beginning.

It was the very first promotion ceremony... when no one thought they could pass the level safely, and even Teacher Yanis just wanted to give herself a failure experience.

But he praised himself from the bottom of his heart, "Thanks to you" and "amazing".

He said the handsome words "I will save Avalon and this world from danger" without hesitation.

When she said, "You don't have to save me," he refused without hesitation.

He saved himself and Sherlock. Then he took a knife and died silently outside.

——Just to die in the house, "Lulu will be scared."

Maybe it was at that moment.

Isabel felt a strong "temperature".

Like a person who was about to freeze in the cold wind, he was exposed to the warm sunshine. She was close to tears.

She was so greedy for that warmth, but she had no way of noticing it. Because she subconsciously chose to avoid it, and it was not until a long time later that she understood her heart.

Although she said things like "You don't have to save me" and "I'll just die", she just hoped that someone would come to save her.

Her heart was crying "Who can save me" and "Who can accompany me".

But after receiving no response for a long time, these voices could only echo helplessly in my heart.

——Until she met Aiwass.

So greedy for the temperature of the sun... Once you come into contact with it, you can never let it go. That is the most poisonous and addictive thing in the world.

hope.

If she had never had hope, she could have endured all this. But if you feel that confidence, strength, gentleness and burning eyes, you will never go back to that cold wind.

"From the very beginning."

Isabel opened her eyes and replied firmly: "I fell in love with him."

Not because of what he has done for himself, nor because of how handsome and good he is.

It's because his soul has been attracted to him from the very beginning - without any reason.

There may be many people suitable for him, but there is only one person suitable for me. Only Aiwass can redeem his soul.

"...Do you know what love is?"

When Shafiya heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "You are still so young... you have never been exposed to anything."

The moment she heard these words, Isabel said without hesitation what Aiwass said only once, but which she firmly remembered in her heart: "Two hearts that are not the same, two souls that have not yet overlapped, are Two finely carved gemstones. When they are overlapped and aligned with the sun and rotated slightly, they can reflect thousands of different brilliance on the wall..."

This is something Isabel would never dare to say in front of Aiwass.

But now in front of Shafiya - in front of this simulated Shafiya, she can say what she wants to say without any scruples: "Two people reflect each other, and the light is better than the stars in the sky. I I think this is love.

"Yes, I love him."

"...That's it."

Shafia looked at her and nodded with some emotion: "That's right...love is harder to hide than the crime of murder, just like the midday sun shining in the dark night.

"——I will help you, Your Highness Isabel. Once I send you to the Theocracy, I will go back to find him."

"We have been gone for so long, will he be in danger?"

"Concern leads to chaos, Your Highness. It has only been two days -"

Shafiya explained helplessly: "The main force is on our side... We have defeated so many enemies among us, how many enemies can go to the Glass Island?"

Two days... They did not take the Griffin, but just arrived at the port and chose the ferry... The main force of the enemy gathered here... Aiwass was still on the Glass Island and had no action...

Isabel heard the key words she wanted to know. His identity was not exposed at all, but more information was obtained.

So she said goodbye to Shafiya, sat back on the bed and began to think seriously.

In this case, two days should have passed now, and it is the night of the third day and the early morning of the fourth day.

So many things happened in the middle, but I was not exposed at all. This shows that the ritual is probably still functioning normally, but they briefly lost control. If he was the only one who lost control at that time, and Aiwass still retained his sanity, he would definitely have left some back-up for himself to help explain.

Thinking of the dream I had...

I'm afraid it's not that I lost my memory, but that there was something wrong with the promotion ceremony.

As a transcendent on the path of beauty, Isabel trusts her intuition very much.

……broken.

Isabel's heart skipped a beat.

She made an agreement with Aiwass to arrive at the Theocracy at dusk the next day, and Aiwass would complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual before then.

If everyone skipped the middle two days... then half a day has passed since the promised ceremony time. Did Aiwass do the Shadow of Avalon ritual?

Today they have no communication at all. Not to mention that there was no way to make a phone call on the ship, and she didn't even know where Aiwass was.

Although he was accompanied by Sherlock...

But that Sherlock is the enemy!

Just when Isabel fell into a slight panic, she suddenly heard sharp and hysterical ridicule.

——The identity of someone who was promoted was discovered by the "aboriginal people"!

Isabel realized this immediately.

But based on this, she quickly thought of another point.

Could this person be Sherlock?

No, impossible.

Mr. Consultant looks shrewd. If everyone had skipped the two days in between, he might have panicked at first, but he should have calmed down again quickly.

Based on his character, if he was with Aiwass, he would not betray him. He is a rather old-fashioned and proud man, and with "Bishop Moriarty" as priest, he is supposed to be a protector. Because he couldn't allow himself to stand behind a healer.

Considering this, Aiwass would not kill him immediately.

Isabel's brain was spinning and she was quickly analyzing everyone's character.

She is not very clear on the logical level, but she can see through the essence of everyone. The main task she did this time was the trials of "acting".

From this point on, she can put herself in everyone's shoes. Think about what the other person should do.

——What if I were Aiwass?

This thought suddenly came to Isabel's mind.

What would I do if I were Aiwass?

She suddenly felt an unusual stimulation - not even based on life and death or crisis, but based on "understanding" and "love".

Now she doesn't know Aiwass's position, and Aiwass doesn't know the information on her side.

They couldn't contact each other, but Isabel had to ensure that they arrived in the Theocracy as soon as possible after Aiwass launched the Shadow of Avalon ritual - it could be fast but not slow. If it goes too fast, Aiwass may not complete the ritual; but if it goes too slowly, Aiwass' life may be in danger.

With Isabel's character, she would definitely go to the Theocracy as soon as possible. But since Aiwass wants to complete the ritual, she will choose to support it.

She must know Aiwass well enough to be able to guess his every move from afar; similarly, Aiwass must know her well enough to realize that she can receive the information he transmits.

——Now comes the problem.

Does she really know Aiwass well enough?

Did she guess Aiwass's every move under such circumstances?

"If I were Aiwass..."

Isabel's vision gradually became clear: "I will kill 'Sherlock' at the beginning of the ceremony.

"Because he must also realize that we lack the means to connect with each other. The only ones that can overcome many obstacles are 'Death Knell' and 'Mockery'. So he will not kill Sherlock in advance."

——But what if someone dies in the middle and disrupts the information?

This thought came to Isabel's mind.

"If I were Aiwass... I would kill Sherlock immediately when I realized someone died. Because there will be no fight to the death in the full moon ceremony, it is unreasonable for two people to die in a row. If I listen When you get such a signal, you know that he is not ready yet..."

She was thinking seriously in her heart, worried and looking forward to it.

Waiting for the answer on draw day.

And the other side.

Aiwass, who heard the jeers, felt slightly moved in his heart while talking to Sherlock.

"... Laughter appeared. Now there are enough people, only six people are left. Now everyone only needs to complete their tasks, there is no need to fight with each other anymore.

"Although Isabel can't be contacted...if she heard the ridicule, she would probably realize something."

Aiwass believes that Isabel today is completely different from the little princess she was when they first met.

She's not a liability, but a reliable teammate.

When there is no communication at all and the plan is completely invalid - how can the two achieve perfect communication?

Aiwass looked at Sherlock, played by "The Consultant", and felt something in his heart.

"When I prepare the Shadow of Avalon ritual...perhaps I can provide information by killing the advisor."

If she realizes that this death is completely unnecessary and sudden, she will probably understand that this is the information I want to convey to her.

——But what if someone dies along the way?

Aiwass cautiously thought of another situation.

Then kill the consultant in advance and call the police to Isabel——

If that happens, two death knells ringing at the same time will imply "the next day", and the time can be changed to dusk!

Could she have thought of this?

The Shadow of Avalon ritual is very dangerous... If you don't handle it well, you may die here. Without the support of teammates, it is like bungee jumping without the safety rope, no different from committing suicide.

Do you really want to bet that Isabel can understand your intentions?

——No, it’s not a gamble.

A crimson flame gradually ignited in the depths of Aiwas' eyes.

That's understanding...and trust.

Aiwass knew that Isabel was good at perceiving the nature of others and exploring their hearts. This is the characteristic of the path of beauty, and as an all-rounder, she is even better at it.

If it's you...

You must be able to guess what I am thinking at this moment, Isabel.

Aiwass thought in his heart.

"If I were Aiwass..."

Isabel closed her eyes slightly, feeling gradually more confident.

"——I will believe Isabel."

She thought in her mind.
