The Temple of Silver and Tin was quite far from the port, and if Evas decided to go and see the excitement, they would probably have to borrow a griffin to get to the scene. But it's very close to the Inspectorate.

So Ivas wasn't in a hurry.

In his spare time, he can even let Ivas take a shower and take care of his hair.

Although the room where Ivus was temporarily staying was a guest room, it was also the room used by the late royal family before - there were quite a few such empty rooms in the Silver and Tin Palace. There is a corner in the room where you can take a bath, you just need to pull a screen to come over, and it's no problem.

Changing into a bathrobe, Ivas sat down in front of the mirror. Lily was behind her, helping Ivus with her hair.

Isabel sat on the couch and watched from afar.

Aihuas looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help frowning slightly: "Why don't you cut it." ”

It's not that it's not pretty.

Ivas actually cares a lot about his image.

It's not just for "good-looking" or "not good-looking" - to put it mildly, Ihuas's appearance will definitely be able to play. After all, it was inherited from his father, the top match of the plebeian priest who could make the aristocratic lady from the iris elope. And in his mature and cold temperament, Ivas also mixed with his mother's soft facial features that give people a sense of tenderness.

The importance that Ivers attaches to his own image mainly comes from "purposefulness". That is, what kind of feeling his appearance can give people.

His own temperament is a warm temperament like the sun, like a fireplace. Although it is a warm color, it does not appear explosive and tough, but tends to be static - like a good-tempered teacher. It's a neutral feeling.

Ivas was also deliberately taking care of his image before.

In order not to make himself too sharp and aggressive, he kept that fluffy and slightly curly hairstyle. And now that his hair has grown, they have straightened on their own.

Now that they still have shawl hair, they already look a little feminine. Ivas tried to clasp his fingers together, bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer—but it didn't look as dazzling as before. It's like a blazing sun, gradually starting to deflect towards the moon.

So far, it's fine. But if it grows a little longer, it grows to the back or even to the waist...... I'm afraid that Ivus will give people a sinister feeling at that time. Temperament that is too gentle will give people a sense of disobedience, but it is easy to arouse the vigilance of others.

Hearing this, Lily just calmly helped Ivus comb her hair.

She pinched two strands of hair and braid them with great skill. Let it hang down to the sideburns on Ivus's side.

"Isn't it pretty, young master?"

Lily asked rhetorically, "I know what you're worried about...... But I feel like it's okay, at least for now. ”

"That's fine at the moment."

Ivas thought for a moment and felt fine: "Why don't you change your hairstyle?" ”

Isabel also ran over and took a closer look: "I think it's pretty good." Or that else, Aihuas? I want to see your hair grow a little longer...... Just change your mood? ”

Her warm breath sprayed gently on Ivus's sideburns as she breathed, causing his hair to sway slightly.

"So be it."

Ivus replied reluctantly.

It is rare for Her Royal Highness the Princess to offer what she wants - for her autistic character, I am afraid it will take a lot of courage.

If she refuses, she may shatter the courage she has cultivated so hard.

Anyway, he is already a minister who doesn't care about the ministry, and he can't be promoted basically. You don't need to care much about what others think of you.

Ivus explained to himself in his mind.

Now that Isabel finally had the courage to make her ideas clear, Eivers was happy. Not kidding, he has a kind of joy in raising children.

This shows that she has gradually come out of the depression of the past and gradually returned to a normal person...... And this is what Ivus has cultivated.

The promotion ceremony was a fruitful boost to her confidence – albeit a test, but it was also a lesson. Probably Sherlock didn't get much growth.

But this is also normal, because his own desire for promotion is not strong enough. Naturally, that would not touch the real test of the ritual.

But he was promoted after all, which is a good thing.

- In Ivus's view, this actually shows that Sherlock actually has a heart disease.

Although he has embarked on the path of wisdom, deep down he has always hesitated about his choice. He probably thought that "even if he fails this time, he can use the authoritarian path to accompany himself to be promoted", so he put it away.

And the essence of this idea is actually that he wants someone to deny him the path of wisdom. Or, on the other hand, he hopes that his path will be affirmed and supported by others.

This may be due to the fact that Ivas has become a minister.

Because Sherlock is quite a proud and confident man. But he is still too young now, and he has the anxiety that is characteristic of young people.

He has always admired his older brother Microft. And now, his best friend Ivus has also become a minister, on the same level as his brother...... Isabel is also almost certain to become the next Queen of Avalon. And then there's Edward, who is the Inspector General......

All of Sherlock's friends and close friends have become real "big shots".

And only he is a "Inspectorate Adviser".

It would make him feel a little lost.

Ivas actually understands him.

Because Eivas used to know such a friend.

It's like an outstanding college student who graduated from a top university, and resolutely chooses a career that he loves but has nothing to do with his major and has no great future—such as an idol or anchor, or a screenwriter of a game company.

Then, relying on his excellent talent and full enthusiasm, he became a very good and famous person in this industry.

But one day, I suddenly heard that my former classmates, my roommates, and my good brothers had either become Changjiang Scholars, or deputies to the National People's Congress, or associate professors, or they became chairmen and general managers...... At that point, you will always feel lost in the path you have chosen.

It's human nature.

- Is it yourself who is at fault? Am I the right thing to give up?

Sherlock is at this stage right now.

Because of his talent for the authoritarian path, he was even offered to be accepted as an apprentice by the Minister of Meg - if he grows up step by step, he will be able to reach the fifth level without accident. At that time, as a disciple of Meg, he will become the new Grand Arbiter and Deputy Director of the Arbitration Chamber.

And he voluntarily rejected that future.

For Sherlock really has no interest in authoritarian paths.

- If Ivas understands it from this perspective, then Sherlock's psychology is clear.

He was proud and held his head high. He didn't want to give up, but he felt lost. So he wanted to give up on himself, choosing to hand over the initiative to be promoted and pave the way for Ivas and them - in essence, he was actually hungry for real failure.

At this point, a well-timed defeat can "wake up" him. Let him pick up the authoritarian path that he has put on hold. In that case, I am afraid that his wisdom path will become a "part-time job" and "personal hobby" that will most likely not affect the promotion of the authoritarian path.

But Ivas wouldn't allow that.

Because that's not a "wake-up."

— not so much that he was looking for a reason to give up. Rather, he was looking for a motivation to persevere. It's like riding alone in a storm...... Even if he gets wet from the rain and can't see the way forward, he doesn't want to stop.

A person who really wants to give up will not be so proud and stubborn. In order to protect themselves, they will find reasons for their failure in advance.

This time, Ivas helped him get promoted, but it didn't solve the problem. Sherlock still hesitated.

Let's hope this trip will untie the knot in his heart. Ivus sighed inwardly.

Her Royal Highness the princess has begun to grow, but you, the senior, have regressed, can't you......

Ivas came back to his senses, touched the strand of hair that Lily had braided on the left side of his ear, and smiled helplessly—you might as well just tie me a side ponytail.

After bathing, Ivas changed into his formal dress as a minister for the first time, put on his top hat and followed Isabel out.

- This time Iwass is not in a wheelchair.

Just like Isabel and Sherlock, he has to gradually give up the things that make him feel convenient.

If you rely too much on wheelchairs and shapes, you may also be lacking.

What am I missing...... Is it self-confidence?

Slowly following the bouncing and excited Isabel, Eivas lowered his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought.

He has always considered himself a fully grown being.

But now it seems that ...... Is that really the case?

Before this incident, Sherlock had considered himself to be a complete being.

Or maybe you just haven't reached the moment of change and awakening......

And following behind Aihuas, Lily looked at Aihuas and smiled slightly with satisfaction.
