Pastor's Tantra

Isabel felt a little sorry.

This time it was rare for her to bring Aiwass and Lily with her...but perhaps because she came a little early, there were not many students in the cafeteria. Most people didn't even notice that the princess was coming.

And even the few students who saw them only looked at them curiously.

At most, I would just point and chat with my friends from a distance in some surprise.

No one reacted particularly loudly, and no one came to talk to him or Aiwass.

Nothing like last time.

This time Isabel had secretly prepared answers to various questions in her mind. It turned out to be completely useless.

Until they finished eating and left, no one sat next to them or talked to them.

This made Isabel feel a little dazed for a moment.

"...Is it that simple?"

"It's not difficult in the first place."

After eating, Aiwass, who was a little sleepy, squinted his eyes and lay on the wheelchair to bask in the sun. He replied softly in a sleepy and light tone: "You are just scaring yourself.

"Besides, when someone comes to talk to you when you are alone, and when you are accompanied by someone, they are two completely different situations. And even if someone comes to ask questions, you can completely ignore him.

"Think about it this way - if a civilian sends a letter to Her Majesty, will Her Majesty reply?"

"...Grandma, she seems to really know how to do it."

Isabel replied quietly.

Aiwass was a little surprised, straightened up and opened his eyes to look at Isabel: "Really?"

Isn't the old lady too busy? How many letters do you usually have to answer?

Isabel quickly added: "But not all letters will be answered..."

"Ah, that's the same thing."

Aiwass continued: "Just think of those who are chatting with you as letters that Her Majesty the Queen does not want to reply to. If Her Majesty replies to all the letters, then she will not be able to do anything at all. There will be Countless people keep sending her letters... Then wouldn’t the Queen become a reply machine?”

Isabel thought so too.

But she was still a little unsure: "Then should I be polite and try to persuade him, or should I just yell back?"

"Then it depends on whether you perceive goodwill or malice from him. If he feels goodwill, just answer him openly and directly. Don't be afraid. People who say the wrong things will not die. "

Aiwass said quietly: "Of course, even if the other person has no ill intentions, as long as you talk to him unreasonably or simply hate him, you can also scold him directly.

“Even if you don’t have the adaptability to the authoritarian path, how dare he have the adaptability to transcend the path?

"So. From the beginning, you don't need to have authoritative power. Because the rules of Avalon have been determined, you just need to stick to them. You are the princess after all, and who dares to disrespect you, that is They are disrespectful to the royal family; even the ministers dare not do things. Are those disrespectful people more arrogant than the ministers?"

He was as persuasive as a fox: "You have to learn to be more willful, Isabel. Her Majesty the Queen will only be happy for this. Even if those on the path of authoritarianism want to recognize you and assist you, you must always give them a goal. Right? If you don't let them do anything, then they will naturally feel confused.

"They're not afraid of complimenting you, they're afraid of complimenting you without knowing what you want."

"...I probably understand," Isabel thought for a long time, "but I'm still a little unsure. I don't know what level of 'willfulness' is correct, what level is annoying, and what level is not. Will be hated.”

"I gradually gain experience with this kind of thing." Aiwass replied casually.

"Then can I ask you?"

Isabel suddenly said: "Help me decide how I should treat them. I believe you will not lie to me."

……Um?

Aiwass was stunned for a moment.

Hearing this, he suddenly thought of Sherlock's evaluation of him during the last advancement ceremony.

——The fox charms the Lord.

Good guy, I’m not really going to confuse the Lord, am I?

I always feel like a powerful minister or eunuch...

Isabel's appearance of trusting herself too much made Aiwass feel a little soft-hearted for a moment, and he was too embarrassed to bully her again.

At the same time, he was somewhat afraid...

After all, he told a lot of lies. Regardless of his identity as a "fox" or his adaptability beyond the path, he may not stop lying in the future.

If she believed in her honesty and his lies were exposed...

Aiwass's expression was a little subtle, and he reminded him with some good intentions and some guilty conscience: "It's best not to say things like 'Only you won't lie to me'. This will only increase the pressure on people. Moreover, don't believe it 100%." anyone.

"Maybe I've lied to you too. I like lying very much - rather, lies are my tool. Sometimes they can be as sharp as the truth.

"Remember, don't trust anyone absolutely. Keep your deepest secrets to yourself at all times."

There was sincerity in Aiwas' words.

But Isabel clearly felt Aiwass's kindness and sincerity, which made her have no real sense that "he likes to lie". But if what he said is true, then he is indeed a liar...

Like, like some kind of mathematical paradox...

This strange sense of contradiction made Isabel feel confused and unsure of what to do for a moment.

But the vague speculation in Isabel's heart became more and more real.

...really looks like Mr. Fox.

In the dream... Isabel felt this feeling when he held his hand and pointed to the horrific corpse hanging in the hanging square with only half a face left.

He has an enviable freedom and ease. And a bad intention that is not annoying.

——Dangerous but not fatal, and even good for the body.

Isabel had never felt this strange feeling from anyone else.

Then, a somewhat impulsive idea suddenly came into her mind.

Since Aiwass told me not to believe him, then I have to believe him.

This wasn't the little girl's rebellion - it was just something she suddenly figured out.

Are those ministers absolutely loyal to grandma? Don't they lie?

of course not.

Isabel has heard too many lies and witnessed too many dirty betrayals and conspiracies since she was a child. Maybe other girls in the capital would be obsessed with the purity of their friends, but she no longer cares about such trivial matters.

She could feel that Aiwass's heart was kind, and she was convinced that what Aiwass did would turn out to be good for her.

——Since both "motivation" and "behavior" are good, that is enough. The rest is Aiwass's secret, and she won't ask about it.

After all, she has her own little secret!

Don't want others to know. Even people close to you will lie to hide it.

...For example, the existence of "Mr. Fox".

Thinking of this, the corners of Isabel's mouth raised slightly, and her mood became obviously happy.

Several people quickly returned to No. 14 Luoning Street.

Before Lily was about to open the door, Isabel stopped her with a voice.

"Wait a minute, let me do it!"

Isabel showed a proud smile and took out the key from her arms. He put the rope loop on his right index finger and twirled it briskly, humming softly and walked quickly from the two of them to the front.

"...You indeed left a copy of the key."

Aiwass was not surprised.

She deliberately took out the key, which seemed like a show off.

"This is my house after all."

Isabel opened the door and said with a smile: "Maybe one night I will make a surprise attack to see if you and Miss Lily have done anything bad."

As if to explain something, she added: "I came to see if it would make my bed dirty or something!"

Aiwass raised his eyebrows and did not answer. Just the fingers of his right hand flicked a few times unconsciously on the armrest of the wheelchair.

——She indeed remembered what Master Yannis said before.

But Lily noticed one detail: "His Highness's bed?"

"...Ah, actually I have never slept here. They are all clean beds."

Isabel quickly explained to Lily softly: "It's just that it belongs to me in name..."

As an extraordinary person on the path of beauty, Isabel must have some control over her appearance.

Isabel always felt that Aiwass's personal maid seemed a bit like herself - at least the polite, silent and reserved feeling was very close. She felt that they might be the same kind of people, so she had a crush on the gentle and beautiful Lily. So I don’t want the other party to misunderstand me.

But Isabel actually thinks Lily is very powerful.

Although she often stood quietly behind Aiwass, as silent as a shadow... But she could be distracted and pay attention to everything around her. When Aiwass wanted to stop or leave, he didn't even have to tell her what he wanted to do. Lily could directly understand what he meant and execute it calmly.

Lily is very beautiful in body, figure and appearance, just like a girl from a knight family. But when she stood behind Aiwass, it was easy not to notice her.

It's almost like the wheelchair is moving on its own.

This made Isabel envious.

What she lacks most is the ability to assess the situation - to know what she should do. This is the most difficult thing for her.

From this perspective, she quite envied Lily.

Isabel skillfully turned on the vinyl record player in the living room, allowing Aiwass, who was unable to move, to stay in the living room and listen to the music. Then, with the excuse of "showing you the dormitory", he took Lily and walked around the whole room.

Although Wangli University of Law is located in the Red Queen District, not all buildings are red - for example, the exterior walls of this villa are silver-white. Reminiscent of a palace of silver and tin.

The overall color of this villa is champagne, with light brown furniture and light gray floor tiles, while the bedrooms have tan floor tiles and wooden furniture. Starting from the second floor, there are also transparent floor-to-ceiling glass windows. This kind of floor-to-ceiling glass window is almost always available to big people in Avalon, mainly to facilitate the pick-up and drop-off of griffons.

The two girls chatted and walked through the three-story villa, which covers an area of ​​more than 140 square meters and has a total of 22 rooms. From time to time, a silver bell-like chuckle came from far away.

Aiwass closed his eyes, lay quietly in his wheelchair, listened to melodious music, and fell asleep after a while.
