Chapter 654 Isabel: Too abominable

On the morning of March 1st.

Avalon, the Isle of Glass, the Hall of Silver and Tin.

Isabel had already had breakfast early, and was sitting in the study looking at something with concentration on her face.

But instead of working on the files, she was secretly reading the novel.

It is a "banned book" that has recently become quietly popular in Avalon - describing the political struggle and office romance between Minister Aiwass and Queen Isabel.

Mainly because Aiwass and Isabel are both young, handsome and successful. Coupled with the previous scandal between Aiwass and Miss Aleister, this young minister, who was appointed by the previous Queen in an unusual way, has become a kind of frenemy and friend with the young Queen in people's minds. Relationship.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing involving the royal family will definitely be discovered at the first time and then investigated and dealt with.

There is a high probability that the author will become a piece of dried bacon in the Hanging Square.

But when people fearfully bought it and collected it with the feeling of "Today I finally caught up with the legendary out-of-print banned book Juezan, it is now being published", they unexpectedly discovered that it was not banned.

Isabel has no writing experience - so in order to draw materials, Isabel plans to see how the novels on the market are written and see if there are any plot points that she can learn from.

Co-authored by us, this is a legitimate cause that the royal family acquiesces to and even supports!
In an instant, similar jokes and novels sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Some are printed and sold independently, while others are serialized in newspapers. Some painters have also received orders to paint similar paintings.

As a result, she was so sleepy that she had no choice but to make up her mind:

It’s already this point, and I haven’t slept enough anyway, so I might as well not sleep at all.

Not only has it not been banned, it is even being serialized!

Half ashamed, half angry.

She gave herself a pen name, "Rose Kelly."

So people thought of the news that "Miss Aleister was driven out of Avalon", and they immediately understood it - oh, this is what Her Majesty the Queen meant.

——So Isabel planned to do it herself.

Because this book contains a large number of discordant descriptions that are not suitable for children.

...But the current book is a little different.

It is said that this is the most popular book on the black market, has the highest reviews, and has the lowest stock. Isabel's personal guard also bought it with great difficulty. Isabel has always had the habit of "saving delicious food until the last bite", so she planned to read this book last so as not to spoil her taste and prevent her from eating other things.

But this is just an idea.

So Isabel drank the sobering potion, and then used the harp Aiwass gave her to treat herself, forcibly removing the negative effects of the potion.

After having breakfast early and practicing singing and playing, Isabel sat in the study and planned to continue reading.

That is to say, people still remain rational, so they do not write operas with related themes. The previous ones can be said to be the personal behavior of the people, but things like operas must be reviewed by the Inspectorate. Now that the young minister is not in Avalon, if he discovers this thing when he comes back and becomes angry and wants to liquidate it, then things will become big.

Last night's sleepless night had meaning: Isabel felt that she had resonated with the path of beauty. This wonderful experience of seeing herself as a "character in a novel" and even having to create new fictional art herself has indeed made her power visible to the naked eye.

She planned to write an opera herself, from libretto to arrangement, and then secretly have it approved. As long as people see it performed, they will probably know the royal family's attitude on this matter.

When she was reading those books last night, when she first saw the heroine's name, she only felt blushing - but then she slowly felt a strange feeling. It was as if I had personally experienced a mysterious adventure and spent a magical time with Aiwass.

As a result, it made Isabel blush a little.

So she asked the queen's guards to quietly buy a few books from the black market. It just so happened that Aiwass had something to do in the past few days and couldn't meet him at night. Isabel even read the novel at around four in the morning last night - in order to maintain energy, she usually went to bed at twelve o'clock in the evening.

But what makes Isabel most angry is that none of these stories are about herself - they are about Aiwass and "Miss Aleister", and even Aiwass and the Star Antimony female agent, and Aiwass and Iris. A sensational story of a flower girl spy.

The story of Aiwass and Isabel is only a wonderful story of how they cooperated and backstabbed each other with a tacit understanding of fighting against their common enemy, and how they fought with each other for their own power and interests.

The author of this book strives to create an atmosphere in which "Aiwass and Miss Aleister are lovers, while he and Queen Isabel are enemies who love each other and recognize each other." There is a rational explanation for why there is no plot about Her Majesty in this - but Isabel knows that the real reason must be that the author dare not write it.

This does make sense.

Because if the author dares to write some blasphemous stories about the monarch, Isabel will definitely contact the Arbitration Hall to arrest him immediately; but on the other hand, although the author is very careful not to write anything indiscriminately, Isabel still plans to arrest him. Get up - it's not that she doesn't like to see it herself, but she definitely can't let others see it.

——But what you wrote made me angry! Although I don’t know whether the author is a man or a woman, or what his background is, judging from the rather detailed political description, he probably has access to people in the Round Table Hall. At least his description of the atmosphere in the Round Table Room was spot on.

"--His Majesty."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

It was a familiar voice that Isabel hadn't heard in a while - the serious voice of the Great Guardian.

Isabel was immediately in a hurry and wrapped this thin booklet inside "Elf Diplomacy: Food, Etiquette and Culture" on the corner of the table. Seeing that there was an empty section in the middle of the book, she reached out and tried to flatten it but failed. So I simply picked up the vase on the table, pressed it on top of the book, and pushed it back to the corner of the table.

She breathed a sigh of relief and signaled the guard to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I was surprised to see a lot of people walking in together.

In addition to the Grand Inquisitor who is on leave - Grand Justice Arius, Grand Arbiter Ligeia, and Grand Guardian George, the three highest-level transcendent beings in Avalon, are all here.

This immediately cheered up Isabel.

Because even Ligeia was extremely serious: she didn't drink!
Ever since Ligeia gradually became familiar with herself on the Glass Island, she has almost not shied away from going to the bars she loved to go to when she was "Meg", and has resumed her usual routine of drinking beer and eating fried chicken. Enjoyable fishing life. Especially after the arrival of the Queen's Guards, she even had time to go fishing in Muwan County. After fishing, she would go home and stew the fish to share with Isabel.

"...Mr. Barton, shouldn't you be in Star Antimony?"

Isabel looked at the Great Guardian with a serious and even guilty face in a strange way, worried: "Could it be... that there was an ambush among the Griffin Legion?"

——But why would the Great Guardian bring his son?

"No, everything goes well with the battle ahead, Your Majesty."

The Great Guardian shook his head: "I just came all the way back - the Griffin Legion is still stationed in Star Antimony. I have ordered them to temporarily enter the station state. I will not continue to carry out military operations unless I go back..."

After he finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee and bowed his head to apologize: "I am here to apologize to Your Majesty."

"……what?"

Isabel was a little surprised. She looked at the serious expressions of the Chief Justice and Ligeia, and then asked, "Why?"

"Because my son, David Barton - he walked away from the authoritarian ways last night."

The Great Guardian said seriously: "This is undoubtedly a betrayal to His Majesty, so I brought David to you as soon as possible to apologize."

"...Wait, you're off the road? What's going on?"

Isabel hasn't figured out the situation yet.

——Is it possible to break away from the road?
"Is the child okay?"

She asked subconsciously.

The Great Guardian patted David on the shoulder and motioned for him to speak.

David's expression seemed a little flinching, but not regretful - his eyes were quite determined.

"That's it, Her Majesty the Queen..."

David quickly recounted last night's dream.

"Last night, his body suddenly burst into flames."

The Great Guardian added: "Nadia was frightened at the time - but she soon realized that it was the influence of some mysterious force and did not dare to interfere. So she immediately contacted me... I was in Star Antimony at the time , the phone couldn't be dialed. It all relied on a supernatural prop to send me an early warning - it was originally left by me in advance to be used when she and David were in danger.

"I rushed back with Philip immediately. Philip flew very fast. So I arrived in less than half an hour. And when I arrived, we both noticed that the power of the road in David was disintegrating... But his body was reshaped into something else."

The Great Guardian said solemnly: "We woke David up quickly - after confirming, we found that he had obtained the new profession of 'Warrior' to adapt to the path! But his original professional power of the authoritarian path was... Lost..."

"You should still remember where the strength of the 'warrior' comes from, Your Majesty."

The taciturn Justice reminded.
