It was the first time Isabel had seen Ivas so well-behaved and quiet.

Of course, Ivas is not usually a very lively person. And not so long ago, Iwass was in a wheelchair every day.

He always looked at others with a calm gaze, smiling and listening quietly while others were chatting. Occasionally interject a few words, and almost always follow other people's topics. It's just comfortable and relaxing, and anyone will want to play with him.

…… But Isabel always felt that Ivus, who always brought others a sense of ease, did not live so easily.

She always felt that there were many things in Aihuas's heart that she couldn't let go.

While Ivas had a smile on his face, Isabel felt a slight frown in his heart. While the others laughed and played, Ivas sat quietly, looking there as if into the distance.

- It looks like you're about to move far away, so you don't plan to leave any traces in front of you; It's like a person who has come back from the future, and already knows that his current friends are just passers-by, so he doesn't plan to invest in any real feelings.

Isabel didn't know what Ivas was worried about. He was already so good that he even made her admire...... On the other hand, she felt as if Iwass was more naïve than she was.

He likes to be reckless to do some risky things, and he also likes to be recognized and praised by powerful people. But at the same time, he was a little awkward—it was a strange, Isabel's self-esteem that came out of nowhere, and he was unwilling to agree with the expectations in his heart. Therefore, no matter how proud he is, he will not take the initiative to let others praise him.

Ivas was obviously young. But he never wanted to identify with himself as a young person.

…… It's like a big boy who has long been sensible, but has never grown up.

Maybe it's because of his old life, Isabel thought to herself.

She had heard Yulia say that he had grown up with Yulia in an orphanage before Eivas was adopted. The two have no father or mother, and they depend on each other...... The fact that Professor Moriarty adopted Yulia first and eventually adopted Ivas because of Yulia's fierce reaction to not wanting to leave Ivas seemed to irritate him.

It seems that this is the only way to explain it.

Ivas lost his parents shortly after he remembered it. And his adoptive father and brother-in-law are busy people, and his adoptive father's family has no wife. After being adopted, Ivas was basically still at home with Yulia.

At that time, Eivas was very lonely for a while, and he could only read at home when he had nothing to do. In retrospect, Eivers's erudition may have been due to his reading habits.

Out of curiosity, Isabel had asked Sherlock to investigate Ivas's experiences in middle school.

Only then did she realize that Eivers had been an athlete. He excels in many types of sports.

Because of his outstanding athletic performance and gradually upright posture, Aihuas finally began to be liked by his classmates on a large scale. After receiving a lot of recognition from others, Ivas gradually became cheerful, confident, and dazzling like a moisturized plant.

And now, he stood quietly by his grandmother's bedside, and his whole body seemed to be relaxed.

Even though Lycia and Isabel were here, they barely interjected. Just let Her Majesty read some meaningless gossip about life.

It was as if Ewass was her own grandson. Accompanied by the bed, he softly met the old lady's words. His face is not the bright and warm smile that he usually wears, but because it is too perfect to always give people a false feeling...... It's a quiet smile that is reminiscent of water and moonlight.

Isabelle, of course, knew that her grandmother had been out of spirit for a long time. And now, Queen Sophia not only laughed heartily one after another, but even spoke more and more clearly, as if everything was all right.

She vaguely felt something.

He didn't interrupt the conversation, but stood quietly behind Ivus, listening to his grandmother's voice almost greedily.

The pointless but seemingly warm chat lasted for nearly two hours.

Ivas is very good at chatting, especially with the elderly.

In the end, they didn't even go to the banquet hall to eat, but had the servants bring the food directly to the room. Sophia had a rare seafood fried rice, a bowl of creamy mushroom and chicken soup with bread, and some fruit.

After eating, she said that she was sleepy and said that she wanted to sleep. He sent Ivas and Isabel out.

Ivas and Isabel didn't go very far.

At the door, Isabel gently grabbed Ivus's cuffs and cast an inquiring glance at him.

Ivus shook his head slightly.

He had previously glimpsed Queen Sophia's physical condition with the divine vision of a priest.

Even if she didn't need to use illumination to channel healing light into her body to check on the situation, Ivas could roughly feel that her life force was completely depleted. Treatment and recovery alone were no longer enough to maintain her condition...... If you want to continue to prolong your life, you can only use rituals that increase the upper limit of your life force.

"In fact, even the average old man should not be so deficient in his body at this age."

Ivus sighed, "Not to mention the Queen of Avalon." ”

"Because she's really tired."

Janis's voice rang out softly from the side.

It's not in the painting, it's me.

She walked over and touched Isabel's head. He put his hand on Ivus's shoulder, and motioned for the two to follow her away.

They soon arrived at the study.

This is where Her Majesty the Queen usually works. And Lygia was already here, drinking beer alone.

And Isabel slowly sat on the throne.

She fiddled with the piles of papers on her desk, sorting them together. Although it still looks a little jerky, this is obviously not the first time.

"Sophia's personality is that she likes to do everything by herself. Even if it's a small thing, she likes to ask a few questions. But she rarely reveals her attitude directly to others, and even the closest people don't know what she's thinking...... Just before you know it, you will find that everything is changing according to her ideas. ”

Lygia, who was a little drunk, made a childish voice.

It seemed to be mocking something, but it was also like thinking about something: "From this point of view, she is really not fit to be a queen." But on the other hand, there is no one more suitable for Avalon as a monarch than her. ”

Isabel pursed her lips, her eyes a little red.

She took the documents from left to right, and from right to left. She looked like she was busy, but she didn't know what she was doing. Because her heart is a little troubled...... It's so messy that you can't think normally.

Ivus sighed as well.

If nothing else, she should be the only one who knows the roots of Ivas and Aleister. But apparently, even Lydia and Janis, who were closest to him, didn't know about it.

Eivers originally thought that Her Majesty finally pulled him to chat, and there should be something he wanted to ask him.

For example, about Avalon, about Isabel.

It could also be about the round table, about Lloyd's.

That ordinary sweater touched Ivus's heart deeply.

This was also the first time that Ivas had a clear idea of "wanting to continue Avalon".

Until then, Ivas had tried to dispel Avalon's hidden danger simply because it was the country where he and his friends lived. He had no affection for Avalon itself, let alone any obsession.

Because Iwass has lived here since he was a child, he has adapted to life here.

Because the Moriarty family's assets are here, because he doesn't want to adapt to a new environment.

Because Sherlock is loyal to the Queen, because Isabel is the future Queen, and because his friends can't do without Avalon-

If not, Ivus may choose to destroy Avalon and rebuild it. Maybe it could be a little cleaner.

Her Majesty has received information from the Crown. She probably knew Ivas better than she knew about herself. Even if she didn't know Ivus's future goals, she would definitely know about his talents and talents that were the focus of the pillar gods.

If she asked, Iwass would have listened attentively.

But no.

- Until finally she fell asleep, Queen Sophia still didn't say anything.

Ivas subconsciously clenched his fists.

He opened his mouth slightly, but finally said nothing.
