It's not just Ivus and Lily this time.

The Great Guardian, along with his wife, and even David, changed their clothes and went to the Temple of Silver and Tin.

According to the information in the letter, it is said that Prince Andrew died suddenly while eating at noon yesterday. After resuscitation and post-mortem examination, it was confirmed that the heart burst was caused by a curse.

Now that most of the day has passed, it is obvious that the follow-up matter has been dealt with and investigated.

Will send a message to the Great Guardian, inviting them to say goodbye to the remains.

- For some reason, the royal family of Avalon never holds funerals for ordinary royal heirs. Either a state funeral, a direct burial in the Chapel of Saint-Genevele, or a silent disposal of them themselves.

There are no ordinary people who die...... For example, the kind of funeral ritual that Sherlock enjoyed when he faked his death.

Because of this, when they went to visit this time, they directly changed into all-black clothes. As a sign of respect, they did not ride griffons, but went on foot. After all, most of the people who will receive the invitation live in the White Queens, and a few are in the Red Queens, and it is not far to walk to the island within the island in the middle of the Red and White Queens.

This was the first time that Ivas had entered the Temple of Silver and Tin through the main entrance—he had gone directly to the side hall when Isabel had invited him to dinner. Enter through the main gate of the side hall and turn two corners to reach the restaurant. Nothing else was seen.

Cross the Griffon's Bridge and walk through the main gate amid the silent griffons to see a huge square. In the order of the clock dial, there are huge statues of twelve knights, four or five meters high, and they look like giants.

In the middle of the statue is a three-tiered fountain. In the center of the fountain is a statue of a white griffon with its head spread its wings.

Passing through the long corridor, there is a silver-white arched building. It is engraved with a knightly declaration written by Lancelot I himself during the founding of Avalon. The handwriting is smooth and beautiful, and it is a legature, which is easily recognizable.

Passing through the arch, you will find the garden. Walk through the garden to enter the Temple of Silver and Tin.

The Palace of Silver and Tin is not a palace in the traditional sense. Its interior is more akin to a university campus, a serious academic museum, or a stately church – its décor is largely based on gold, grey and white. The carpet and tablecloth are a mixture of green and gold.

Inside the palace, there are many kinds of portraits.

In addition to the monarchs of the past generations, there are also excellent members of the royal family and celebrities and great men of each era. Their names, as well as their biographies, are hung underneath the portraits.

But soon, Eivers found a somewhat unfamiliar painting, but he had to care about it—

It was a young woman who looked to be about twenty or thirty years old.

She had long, dark blonde hair that was as soft as a piece of metal, and the ends of her long hair were neatly cut like knives. Her ears are slightly pointed, and she must have some elven blood. Her pupils were also dark gold, cold and unforgiving. The rimless glasses she wore made her temperament seem cold and intellectual.

Underneath her portrait, her name is written:

【Freya Moru Moriarty】

1868 - Present

In the merit column, there are only a few lines.

"A reproduction of the lost panacea recipe from the Round Table era."

"An unstable resurrection mixture was invented."

"Completed Avalon's first liver transplant."

Washton was stunned.

…… Moriarty?

But...... Who is she?

Noticing Aihuas's gaze, the Great Guardian casually said, "Your sister......"

“…… I still have a sister? ”

"Don't you remember? She should have come first before she left. ”

Hearing George's words, Ivas was shocked.

He confirmed that in his memory, there was no such sister named "Freya" at all.

He has a good memory, and it's not so easy to forget.

And Iwass wasn't the only one who didn't know about it. Edward also said that Moriarty Sr. had no other adopted children, and Yulia was not impressed. So far, the Moriarty family should only have three siblings left.

But this "Freya" was born in 1868, which means that she is now thirty years old, and she will be thirty-one years old in the New Year. She must be much younger than Edward, which means that she should be Edward's sister.

Is St. George misremembering?

But in addition to the Great Guardian, Master Janis seems to be aware of her existence—

[--After all, he is also a "Moriarty".] Everyone knows that old James is notoriously vicious in his selection of adopted children. Like his older siblings, Ivas was born to be eye-catching and loved. 】

The first time she met Janis, the words she had spoken suddenly rang out in Ivus's heart.

…… What's going on, is there something wrong with my memory?

Ivas was just silent, pretending to be casual and asked, "Does Your Excellency the Great Guardian know her too?" ”

"There must be a lot of people who know Freya. She was still quite famous back then...... Avalon's most gifted doctor. The Great Guardian said.

"Where is Sister Freya now?" Ivas asked.

"She went to the church to further her studies. You might be able to see her this time. ”

The Great Guardian spoke.

So Eivas stopped talking, but secretly wrote down the incident.

"Where are we going, Grand Guardian?"

"You can call me Uncle George or Uncle Barton, Iwas."

The Great Guardian corrected the overly polite Ivace's distant words before explaining, "I have to go and meet Her Majesty first. Are you going to come with us? ”

“…… May I? Ivas hesitated.

He didn't know if Her Majesty would be mad with grief now.

When you meet for the first time at this time, you may not make a good first impression. It is possible that when the queen thinks of him later, she will recall the sadness of the moment for the first time—and it is also possible.

Just like if someone listens to a song when they are happy or sad, and when they hear it again a few years later, they may have forgotten what happened and what they thought, but the feelings at that time will still remain in their hearts.

"Absolutely."

The Great Guardian replied dryly, "Since you don't want to, let's go together." ”

To Aihuas's surprise, not many people accepted the invitation to say goodbye to the body this time. There were even fewer people than at Sherlock's funeral, and not many people showed sad expressions, just straight faces, serious and silent.

Lily pushes Ivace's wheelchair and follows the Great Guardian's family all the way. Someone on the road saw Ivus, but at most they nodded slightly, and no one came up to greet him or keep staring at him.

Soon, they arrived at Her Majesty's bedchamber.

Ivas had expected them to meet in a very formal place—the throne room, or the round table room. Her Majesty sat on her throne with a crown and a robe, and they had to bow down.

- It stands to reason that the procedure for visiting the queen should indeed be like this. That's what Ivas learned from the books.

But they just knocked on the door and entered, and the old woman who was standing at the head of the bed nodded slightly: "The silver-crowned dragon watches over you, Your Majesty." ”

Ivas did the same, stroking his chest with his right hand and saying, "The silver-crowned dragon watches over you, Your Majesty. ”

To Ivus's surprise, Her Majesty, whose grandson had just died and was known for his escape, was not only not sad and impatient at the moment, but looked unexpectedly gentle and kind.

That's normal.

The curses have been going on for more than a decade. The earliest occurred shortly after Sherlock's father became Minister of the Court for his military exploits, and the most recent was yesterday.

If Her Majesty hadn't adapted, I'm afraid she would have died of grief.

Now that Prince Andrew is dead, there are only three direct descendants of Queen Sophia.

Her fifth child, Albert, and Albert's daughter, Isabel. There is also the widow of Sophia's other daughter, a two-year-old boy, John Du Lac.

Perhaps because of her age, Her Majesty, who used to be a beauty, now looks not beautiful enough, and even a little obese. It was very different from the portrait of her younger version that Iwass had seen before.

Her Majesty's chin tucked into the quilt is as round and prominent as a persimmon. She has gray hair and wears a small warm hat even in bed.

Queen Sophia wears a thick green sweater with a sewing needle in her hand. Like an ordinary old lady, she was hitting something on the bed with a sewing needle—Ivas could tell at a glance that it should be a pair of gloves. Beige wool threads are used. The craftsmanship is not good or skillful, just like the feeling of learning it for a short time, there are a lot of stitches that are knitted incorrectly and then forcibly corrected.

"Ah, how ...... you guys"

Queen Sophia said softly, "Thank you for coming to see Andrew." ”

Her Majesty looked a little tired and sleepy at the moment. The sound is soft and somewhat muffled.

It was as if she had fallen asleep with her clothes knitted, and she was woken up by them while she was dozing. It was a little difficult to open his eyes, but there was still no impatience or annoyance in his voice.

And the first thing she said when she looked at Ivas was that Ivus went into cardiac arrest:

"You're Ivus, aren't you? The Crown Lord mentioned you to me not long ago. ”

- The Crowned Lord is another name for the Silver Crowned Dragon.

Chapter 2 is a little later, but not too late!

In an hour!
