Ivus got up from the couch and called the princess by her name: "...... Isabel"

His face showed an expression of some anxiety, some surprise, and as if he had figured out something: "It's over there...... Did something happen? ”

"-Ivus!"

Isabel did not answer, but with a cry that bordered on a whimper, she threw herself into Ivus's arms without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

She hugged Ivus's waist with one hand, and with the other she grabbed Ivus's back and grabbed Ivus's long hair scattered on his back. Her face was pierced directly into Ivus's arms, and she breathed his breath greedily and deeply, and the girl, who had been trembling before, became settled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Eivas raised his hand and hugged Isabel and put his arm around her shoulder.

After a long while, Isabel buried herself in Ivus's arms and said loudly, "I don't want to marry the Star Antimony!"

"—Help me, Aihuas! Now all I have is you......"

Her voice was incomparably sincere, with an incomparably strong rejection and resistance, as well as trust and longing for the security that Eivers brings...... It can be said that it is very shocking.

Isabel didn't even tell what had happened the whole time. But that's why it seems so real.

Such a strong and tense emotional output is her strong point.

And what she said at this time was exactly what she had wanted to say to Ivus, or to Ivus.

The nine true and one false acting skills made Shafiya believe in the sincere relationship between Isabel and Ivas without hesitation.

Even if James hadn't known Ivus's identity beforehand, he could only see that the two of them were indeed secretly developing a relationship and unknown underground lovers.

- In that instant, Shafiya was relieved. It was confirmed that the Moriarty family was indeed an ally.

If Eivas has a great chance of becoming a prince, then the Moriarty family really has no motive or position to betray the royal family.

Because Professor Moriarty is undoubtedly a smart man, and a businessman.

Since Ivas and Isabel are a true couple, if he hands Isabel over now, it will cause a huge and irreparable loss...... And even then, it was not trusted by the new master.

If the round table wants to hunt down Isabel, it can only be to kill the mouth and confirm the identity of the "fake Isabel".

And Ivas has already developed a sincere relationship with Isabel, unless Ivas is killed, the possibility of Ivus's betrayal in the future must be considered.

So the professor had to cut off Ivas as well, and give up the opportunity that would inevitably make Ivus a prince...... Otherwise, it will definitely be on their side.

Whether or not the professor knew and approved of the relationship in advance, he couldn't choose it now.

- In just an instant, Shafiya found a breakthrough in the current situation.

At this time, the professor just looked at the two meaningfully, with an undisguised smile on his face.

When he saw the intimacy between the two, he looked at the two with interest and anticipation as if he had seen something interesting.

Shafia walked up and whispered to Isabel what had happened: "Minister Droester poisoned the queen, and the Star Antimony people found a substitute for Isabel in advance, preparing to take her place and marry the Star Antimony Prince. Now there is chaos in the round table hall...... We escaped. ”

“…… Oh, my God. ”

Professor Moriarty exclaimed.

His tone made Shafiya wonder for a moment if he was yin and yang.

However, soon James's face sank, and his attitude returned to seriousness: "How many fifth energy levels did the Star Antimony people bring?" ”

Instead of asking stupid questions such as "is this true?" or asking about the specific situation in the round table, Professor Moriarty skipped a lot of logic and asked the most crucial question.

"Two."

Shafiya said very clearly: "One of them is Leo Carr, Lieutenant General...... The embodiment of the Fire Demon.

"The other one is an old man on the Dusk Path, he is wearing the black robe of the Necromantic Academy, he should be a black-faced person."

"Count Karl is acquainted with the Count of Leipzig, and the Count of Leipzig is a red-faced man."

When Professor Moriarty got serious, he became so reliable.

He crossed his fingers in front of him, like a spider touching the foot of a web.

The old man calmly and quickly analyzed the situation: "A person from the red side, plus a person from the black side. Queen Louise is one of the 'daughters' of the Red Phase, the Child of the Moon at least the fourth level. It can also be judged as a fifth energy level of hidden strength, and there is a high probability that it will carry an artifact.

"If Queen Louise is considered to be the representative of the Star Antimony royal family, then there is a balance between the three...... Do you know what that means? ”

“…… Are they wary of each other? Is this conspiracy the overall decision of Star Antimony? ”

Shafiya was not sure, and replied vaguely.

She's actually very smart. But at the moment, her brain has not completely cooled down from anxiety.

Being able to be appointed as the Grand Inquisitor also means that she is the best at handling intelligence among the powerhouses of the fifth level.

—meaning that the other two parties have a chance to benefit from this alone, Ms. Shafiya. But the traitors of Avalon can only be loyal to one side or the other, so we must still have a chance. ”

Professor Moriarty spoke with no expression on his face, but he was full of persuasiveness and security.

"So don't be too nervous, ma'am. The situation is not as bad as you think. ”

There was a scendiary tone in his words, and he suddenly jumped the topic in another direction: "Although the Moriarty family is on the margins of the system of the Founders, we are not weak. In a situation where the Round Table is now almost controlled by Lloyd's, the Moriarty family, with sufficient financial resources, is the only family of founders who are completely free from Lloyd's control or influence.

"—Do you know what that means?"

Shafia didn't answer, she just shook her head and motioned for Professor Moriarty to continue.

The professor said slowly, "Although you haven't elaborated yet, I think there must have been a disturbance in the round table hall. Now, the knights in the round table who were completely loyal to the royal family have probably been killed...... Because they are in the minority, and they will be attacked by everyone.

"However, it is absolutely impossible for the Star Antimony side to give all the betrayers a good enough benefit - you may not know the Star Antimony's financial situation, but I can say for sure that they simply cannot afford this price.

"In other words, the Star Antimony side must be supporting individual ministers and Lloyd's executives, and through them to lead the rhythm, creating a 'general trend' to coerce others."

“…… Yes," Shafiya nodded solemnly, "I think it's Minister Drost." ”

Although she was not sure that Drost was the one who poisoned the Queen, because he could not see what he had done. But when the queen fell to the ground, Chancellor Drost's reaction was bound to be wrong. Even if he is not the executor of poisoning, he is definitely an insider.

"Quite possibly, ma'am."

Professor Moriarty nodded slightly: "As far as I know, Minister Drost has obtained four estates and a viscounty in Star Antimony. ”

…… Why didn't you say it earlier?

Shafiya was momentarily furious, and a silver-gray flame ignited at the bottom of her pupils.

But before she could say this, Shafiya swallowed it back.

Anyway, it is useless to question at this time, it will only push the precious allies away from the side.

And looking at Shafia's expression, Professor Moriarty clearly guessed what she was thinking.

He didn't explain why he didn't say it, but said directly: "Just before you came, Diomedes just left. He tried to trick Ivus out to murder, and I scared him away.

"This can only be an order from Droost - the reason is that Ivas wrote to Isabel and warned her. It is clear that the letter was intercepted and fell into the hands of Chancellor Drost.

"You should have been able to see him leave Moriarty Manor just now, and you should have known that he came here at this time, and it must not be possible to negotiate anything good with me, so we must not be allies. As you can see, ma'am, I'm telling the truth. ”

“…… Truly. ”

Shafiya nodded guiltily: "It's me who is excited, sorry." ”

However, Ivas looked at his adoptive father with some consternation, and the surprise in his eyes was not hidden at all: "How do you know ......?" ”

"How do I know you wrote a letter?"

Professor Moriarty directly interrupted Ivus's words, and a gentle and calm smile appeared on his face: "You and that Sherlock kid hang out every day, I don't know what you're thinking?" He was my favorite student.

"Your relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess...... I don't think there's much to say, a discerning person can naturally see it. I will definitely be on Ivus's side, and so will the Moriarty family be on Her Royal Highness...... Or the future Her Majesty the Queen here. If you have any ideas, just try to share them with us. ”

The first half is undoubtedly true.

This world-class Ivas has no vigilance against his adoptive father, and his every move is completely under the observation and surveillance of Professor Moriarty.

And the latter sentence is obviously a foreshadowing by him in order to help Ivus hide his identity.

Authoritarian paths have a natural resistance to lies. For Shafiya, who can tell a lie based on her instincts alone, she can only let her misunderstand...... And clearly, the professor is good at this.

Like Ewas, he is well versed in the art of lying to the truth.

After being foreshadowed by the professor like this, Shafia could only think that the love affair between Ivas and Isabel had long existed and had been exposed, and was seen by Professor Moriarty.

And since Ivas and Isabel have long been lovers......

Shafiya hesitated.

Then she no longer hesitated, and directly told the secret of the "Shadow of Avalon" ceremony.

Although this is top secret...... But by now, the ritual is either nearing completion or a complete failure.

There's no point in hiding it anymore.

In order to complete the Shadow of Avalon ritual, she must have the support of Professor Moriarty, so she needs to show sincerity. She couldn't have chosen to hide the truth at this point...... It was stupid, it was like treating Professor Moriarty for a fool.

He certainly can't be a fool.

That's why Shafiya chooses to treat people with sincerity.
