Chapter 138: A Life of Always On the Run

Aihuas's eyes widened slightly.

"—Eniles Blossom."

He whispered Isabel's mother's name.

At that moment, many clues intertwined in Ivus's mind. Many of the things that had puzzled Ivus before were finally connected at this moment:

He remembered it clearly—Janis's mentor was called Bettinatia Blossom.

In the original history of the game, Isabel, who fled here, sacrificed her fertility after performing a forbidden ritual in exchange for the inheritance of flowers. She then became the Queen of Flowers and rebuilt the kingdom of Camelot.

Bettinatia was founded in 1704 and is now in 1899. It's been one hundred and ninety-five years since her death—exactly when Janis said goodbye. Enerys Blossom was over 200 years old 20 years ago...... In other words, when Janis left the church, Enerys was supposed to be a little girl.

Because Bettinatia is dead, the legacy of Lady Blossom cannot be passed on at all...... At least Janis can't even call herself "Janis Flowers", which means that Janis herself has not mastered the inheritance ability of Lady Flowers' ability to manipulate plants. Needless to say, Ineris, who can be easily cursed by the bone carving.

Since Inenlies can inherit this surname, there are actually only two possibilities - either Inenerys is the younger sister of Janis and more in line with the inheritance of Lady Blossom than Janis, or she is the daughter of Bettinatia.

The latter is much more likely.

Because if they are only in a master-apprentice relationship, then in Isabel's generation, there should not be any direct connection with Ms. Fanhua.

Almost sixty years ago, Janis had already been to Avalon once. She was like the wind of freedom, and she left this place happily. But almost ten years ago, Janis suddenly returned to Avalon for some reason, and stayed for ten years, which is completely different from her style of pursuing freedom.

Although she said that it was because of her friendship with Queen Sophia.

…… But she had been traveling the world for 150 years at that time, and it was impossible for her not to understand the forgetfulness of human beings.

For Queen Sophia at that time, it was an old friend in her long life in her sixties and a full fifty years ago - how effective can this kind of "childhood sweetheart" friendship be and tie up a fifth-level powerhouse who pursues freedom here for ten years?

According to Ivus's observations, in another world line without Ivus's interference, Queen Sophia will eventually take the life-prolonging medicine offered by Minister Droester, and try to marry Isabel to Prince Star Antimony. Janis also left Avalon because of this.

But what to say......

Janis left not because the queen was taking life-prolonging drugs - but because there was no longer a reason for Janis to stay here?

And the most decisive -

Isabelle, who had been taught by Janis for several years, did not learn any transcendent skills from Janis.

Janis taught her almost nothing other than the basics, only how to choose the path-related characteristics of illusion......

What if Janis didn't care if Isabel became a professional or not, and didn't teach her any transcendent skills in the path of beauty, because she thought Isabel would become "Isabel Blossom" from the very beginning?

Since sooner or later he will become an inheritor, the rank of the professional is of course unimportant.

According to Prince Albert's narrative, Queen Sofia is a rather tough and unfriendly queen. Although he made such an assessment, it is also possible that his rebellious period happened to coincide with the queen's menopause...... But there is another, more likely, and that is that the queen was indeed tough enough when she was young.

But she decided that Isabel, a cowardly person who did not look like a queen at all, would become the heir to the throne after the "Shadow of Avalon" ceremony...... You know, without Ivus's interference, Isabel won't be strong until Avalon collapses.

So, if that ruin didn't come for a long time, and without the help of Evas, how could Isabel be queen?

Except for the "short-lived friendship between Yanis and Sophia" that does exist more than fifty years ago.

Will this still be some kind of ...... Trade?

"You know...... Master Yanis? ”

Ivas suddenly asked, Prince Albert.

Prince Albert frowned slightly: "Of course I know ......"

"—I mean, was Master Janis in Avalon before you left the Isle of Glass?"

"How is that possible?"

Prince Albert blurted out, "If Master Janis is here, then how could Inni die so easily!" They're friends! ”

"You know they're friends?" Ivas asked.

"When little Isa was four or five years old, Master Janis once came back......"

The decadent man was silent for a while, then spoke: "Because Isabel was very talented in art when she was a child. She came to check Isabel's talent and left again. I didn't know she was Master Janis at the time, but Ini and I had a long private conversation with her.

"After Inni's murder, I wanted to seek out Master Yanis to avenge her. Because I remember she was supposed to be in Avalon at the time...... But I searched for a long time and couldn't find it. It was almost two or three years before I suddenly found out that she had founded the "Glass Steps" newspaper and had lived on the island for a long time.

She must have come back for Isabel. With her protecting Isabel, I'm relieved. So ......"

"So, you didn't come back?"

Ivas laughed.

Prince Albert was silent for a while, then whispered, "In the first few years, I actually ...... is waiting for my death. I just don't want to die on Glass Island, I'd rather fight the villains and die. And the back...... It's because Yunus is dead. ”

"He died because of you."

Ivas said.

Albert looked down, "Yes, I know. So from then on, I became 'Yunus'.

“…… Yunus, who can make anyone happy, should be more valuable than Albert, who will disappoint anyone.

"I know I'm sorry for Isabel. So I'm ...... Hard-working chivalrous deeds. I did my best to go all over Avalon to help people. I defeat the robbers and villains, and stop the evil plans - but I am not for the boasting of me! I don't want to be famous, I just ......"

"—you just don't know how to repay the guilt of running away."

Ivus interrupted, "Just as you are so preoccupied with Anastasia's affairs. ”

At that moment, Ivas thought of Janis who had fled from Pure White.

Although they are not the same thing, they are actually of a similar nature.

They all ran away because of something in the first place, and then chose to continue to run because they couldn't face the consequences of this incident - the huge sense of shame and deprivation forced Albert to help others to relieve the pressure on his heart. He gave all his possessions to the poor and left no money on him, which was actually preparing to die whenever and wherever he wanted.

But he didn't really have the courage to face the danger...... It's the same as his tactics against the villains: he initially wanted to die at the hands of the villains, but eventually chose to flee. But after escaping, he felt guilty and tried to publicize the evil deeds of the other party and attract firepower to defeat the other party.

I've been running away, I've been regretting it. Always scared, always compensated.

"What a wretch, Your Highness. Is it so spineless? ”

Ivus said lightly: "Don't dare to take revenge, don't dare to die, don't dare to apologize - what else do you dare to do with such a big man and such a strong body?" ”

“…… I am indeed a timid person," was admonished by the junior Ivas, but Prince Albert only bowed his head and admitted, "I lack talent, and I have only just reached the third level......

"No, it's not about guts, Your Highness. It also has nothing to do with strength. ”

Aihuas's calm words were as sharp as knives: "It's about responsibility. ”

Hearing this, Prince Albert finally fell completely silent.

Perhaps it was because he was so young when he gave birth to Isabel, or perhaps he lacked his father's teachings to lead by example, that until he fled from the Temple of Silver and Tin, he was naïve like an ignorant child.

Prince Albert was not mentally prepared to be a father at all, he could not afford anyone's life or death. That's why he was tormented by Inenris's death to the point of madness - he didn't even subconsciously have the idea of "running away with Isabel". Because he was afraid that Isabel would die in front of him, or from his mistakes and powerlessness.

He did not dare to take responsibility for Isabel's life and death.

The announcement of "renunciation of inheritance" is more like "running away from home"; The act of going out with your brother is closer to "the free adventure of picking up the sword".

- To put it mildly, Ivas thinks he's more likely to run out and play than "do something meaningful before he dies."

Until Yunus's death made him alone again.

There was no one around him to comfort him. It was only then that Prince Albert began to grow up.

But in the end, he chose to put on Yunus's skin, and still didn't dare to face others as Albert...... Rather, it was as if Albert was dead.

Even though he gradually got used to loneliness, he adapted to living alone, and learned to flatter and behave tactfully. But those are what "Yunus" should have done, and it is Yunus's life. This does not mean that he has matured.

Because he's still on the run.

The death of Innellis caused him to flee from his status as a member of the royal family, as well as that of Isabel's father; Yunus's death caused him to escape from the identity of "Albert". Now that the curse has been lifted, he intends to die again to pay for his guilt and flee from his life.

He kept running away, absent from every occasion in Isabel's life when she needed her father.

He also grew up without his father, but he was not even as stress-resistant as his daughter Isabel.

"Facing the same high-pressure, cursed threats...... The more desperate Isabel is not overpowered in the end, and you are overwhelmed. ”

Ivus asked, "What have you done?" ”

“…… I only did one thing. ”

After Albert's silence, he replied in a hoarse voice, "I left her my necklace." ”
