Pastor's Tantra

Aleister looked at Prince Szijjarto with interest.

"It's really strange."

She smiled and said, "If I remember correctly... isn't your mother, Queen Louis, a child of the moon?"

After Aleister finished speaking, Prince Szijjarto was silent for a moment.

Astrologer Fenrir subconsciously looked back at the prince's expression - but the prince did not get angry because of it.

His fists on the table were not clenched. Instead, he fumbled and slowly raised the black tea that had just been brought by the maid. But he stared at the black tea in the cup for a long time. He had obviously raised it to his mouth but slowly put it down again.

"……Therefore."

After a long silence, he said this.

Szijjarto did not explain his behavior in detail, but Aleister already understood.

"You mean," Aleister, who returned to his original form, leaned back on the chair, raised his head and revealed his smooth and small chin, "when she gave birth to you, she was not the child of the moon... right?" "

Prince Szijjarto did not answer.

However, his somewhat sad eyes, looking down at the black tea in the cup, had already revealed the truth of everything.

Obviously, Valentine VII believed that his "resurrected queen" was still his true love. In other words, he thinks that as long as Louis can be resurrected, he can accept it no matter what.

But as her child, Prince Szijjarto clearly felt the changes in his mother.

The corners of Aleister's mouth raised slightly, but then they calmed down again seriously. This was the first time she took a serious look at Prince Szijjarto.

At this moment, Aleister looked like a childish girl, and she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, so thin that it was pitiable. The back of the chair behind her was even taller than her upper body.

However, she was wearing gorgeous clothing in the elf style - light clothing with gold and red as the main colors, and many luxurious gold ornaments inlaid with rubies and emeralds.

The luxurious aura displayed by the gorgeous clothes has completely overwhelmed the delicate feeling brought by the childish appearance at this moment. He was obviously a guest, but somehow he had the air of a host.

"I see."

Aleister sighed softly: "You still miss your real mother in childhood, but you don't deny the love of the 'mother who appeared later' for you, so you don't regard her as an enemy. In your In cognition, these are two completely different people but related to each other... On this basis, they coexist in the same person.

"...It's really rare that there are people who think that the Son of the Moon exists at the same time as his predecessor. In the philosophical view of the Son of the Moon, your kind of thinking can be considered a minority."

It is only based on this concept that Szijjjjjjjjjaldo's behavior of "care about the image and identity of his predecessor and actively interfering with the behavior of the Moon Child" would occur. In the eyes of others, this behavior seems too naive... and considering his identity, it even seems a bit ridiculous.

"It's not necessary to analyze it to this extent."

Prince Szijjarto took a sip of black tea and said calmly: "Has anyone ever told you that this will make people uncomfortable?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to be so easily stressed..."

Aleister didn't pay attention to Szijjarto's vaguely barbed but soft and weak words. He just asked with interest: "In your opinion, what am I to 'her'? A thief who steals identities and memories, a dead person." And the resurrected evolver...or is it just a reborn person with a different personality?"

"……tombstone."

After a long silence, Szijjarto simply replied: "I think so."

Tombstone...

Hearing the unexpected answer, Aleister opened his eyes slightly.

An "object" that bears the life of the deceased is also worthy of respect and remembrance. Not treating it as a complete person, but recognizing its existence instead of identifying it as a thief or a monster.

This seems to be a more mature concept than Bayard, who transformed into the Shadow Demon back then.

"……Ah."

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and her tone softened: "Good boy."

No matter which definition of the Moon Child is correct - or which one is not entirely correct - Aleister can also be sure that Prince Szijjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj.com is at least a soft-hearted person.

"Maybe you have been in this world for a long time, but you don't need to regard yourself as an elder in front of me."

Prince Szijjarto raised his head and said seriously: "Everything I did was not done to get praise from anyone. It was because I wanted to do it."

"Including your father?" Aleister asked.

"Of course, Miss Aleister."

Prince Szijjarto took a deep breath, looked at Aleister and said seriously: "I will invite you here, not entirely because of Fenrir's prophecy, nor entirely because I saw such a naive person. An innocent girl is planning to enter such a depraved and filthy place. It is also because I see your soul - it is so pure, without any sin in it."

"……My soul?"

Aleister was a little surprised.

But soon, she thought of the glasses: "Can it even do this kind of thing?"

"——That is an alchemical creation made by Valentin I himself."

Prince Szijjarto said calmly: "I might as well tell you... His Majesty also visited that kind of place in the past."

"Is it okay to tell an outsider like me this kind of thing?"

Aleister raised an eyebrow.

Szijjarto nodded slightly: "Of course, because this incident is not something to be ashamed of - Your Majesty, it was during that incident that he felt the contradiction of the Son of the Moon. He personally witnessed the fall of the Son of the Moon, but he His best friend is also the Son of the Moon; he doubts his previous prejudice against the Son of the Moon - the Son of the Moon enjoys blood slaves as consumables, and the evil deeds done by the nobles to the blood slaves, which one is noble? Which one is the humble one?

"So when he was confused, he created this pair of glasses that can 'see people's hearts clearly'. This pair of glasses was blessed by the twin mirrors. In addition to being able to see clearly whether the posture of the other person's soul is pure and clear, or ferocious and evil , and you can still clearly see the killings caused by the other party..."

As he said that, Prince Szijjarto looked at Aleister with a complicated expression: "And I have never seen a Moon Child with such a pure soul. So I think... Miss Aleister, you should just become a Moon Child. Soon, and she...is still young."

——Nonsense, because I was really just born.

Aleister thought.

No wonder Prince Szijjarto struck up a conversation with him so enthusiastically when he saw him for the first time - he obviously wasn't such an outgoing character, but rather a stuffy person. He also specifically emphasized his "nobility" and even showed no vigilance when he showed murderous intent in the car.

It turned out that he saw his killing record...

The predecessor was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but now his body's cause and effect are clean.

Therefore, in Prince Szijjarto's view, he is either a kid who "has just replaced his predecessor and doesn't know how to show that he has become a Moon Child, so he uses illusions to disguise himself as an adult and intends to enter the Moon Child's dedicated cafeteria." child; or he is the son of the moon who has never killed anyone so far, so he chatted with Aleister for so long and revealed so many secrets without hesitation - because he had already determined Aleister Special "good and evil tendencies".

And at the same time...

"...Do you think that I will be affected by that strange ritual and commit murder?"

Aleister asked rhetorically.
