Chapter 831: Chapter 210 Isabel: Too Outrageous Chapter 831: Chapter 210 Isabel: Too Outrageous March 1st, morning.
Avalon, Glass Island, Hall of Silver and Tin.
Queen Isabel had finished breakfast early and sat intently in the study browsing through something.
But she was not dealing with documents; instead, she was secretly reading a novel.
It was the recently quietly popular “banned book” in Avalon—depicting the political struggles and office romance between Minister Aiwass of the Department of Unconcern and Queen Isabel.
Mainly because both Aiwass and Isabel were young, good-looking, and accomplished at a young age.
Coupled with Aiwass’s previous scandal with Miss Aleister, this young minister, exceptionally appointed by the former queen, had in people’s minds become both an adversary and an ally to the young queen.
...
Generally, anything involving the Royal Family would be discovered and investigated promptly.
Most likely, the author would become a dried corpse hanging in Execution Square.
However, once people bought and collected the book with a heart-pounding “I’ve finally encountered a sought-after banned first edition,” they surprisingly found that it wasn’t banned.
Not only was it not banned, but it was even continuing in serialization!
This led people to recall “Miss Aleister being expelled from Avalon,” and suddenly understood—oh, so this is Her Majesty the Queen’s intention.
It turns out this is a legitimate venture recognized, and even supported, by the royal family!
Instantly, similar jokes and novels sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Some were independently printed and sold, others serialized in newspapers, and some painters even received orders to create similar artworks.
It was only because people remained rational that they refrained from creating operas on the subject—those aforementioned could pass as acts of private individuals, but operas would need to be reviewed by the Supervisory Court.
Today, that young minister was not in Avalon, and should he return and discover this affair, becoming infuriated and seeking retribution, then things would escalate.
—Thus, Isabel decided to take action herself.
She gave herself a pen name, “Rose Kelly.”
She planned to write an opera herself, from the script to the music arrangement, then secretly get it approved.
Once people saw it performed, they would likely understand the royal stance on the matter.@@@@
But this was just an idea.
Isabel had no experience in writing—therefore, to gather materials, she decided to first see how novels on the market were written and check if there were any plots she could use.
Hence, she had the Queen’s Guard secretly purchase several books from the black market.
Recently, since Aiwass was busy and couldn’t meet her at night, Isabel even read novels till four o’clock in the morning last night—to maintain her energy, she usually went to sleep at midnight.
As a result, being overwhelmingly sleepy, Isabel made up her mind:
It’s already this late, since I can’t get enough sleep anyway, I might as well stay up.
Thus, Isabel drank an alertness potion, and thereafter had herself treated with the harp Aiwass had given her, forcibly eliminating the negative effects of the potion.
After having breakfast early and practicing singing and playing, Isabel sat in the study intending to continue reading.
When she read those books last night, she initially felt her face burn at the protagonist’s name—but eventually experienced a strange sensation.
It was as if she had personally gone through a mysterious adventure, having spent wonderful times with Aiwass.
— But why would the Great Guardian bring his own son too?
“No, all is going well on the front lines, Your Majesty.”
The Great Guardian shook his head: “I’ve just rushed back—right now, the Gryphon Legion is still stationed at Star Antimony.
I’ve ordered them to temporarily maintain station, they won’t continue military operations until I return...”
After saying this, he knelt on one knee and lowered his head to apologize: “I’ve come to ask for forgiveness from Your Majesty.”
“— What?”
Isabel was somewhat astonished; she looked at the serious expression of Great Justice and Ligeia and was on edge again: “Why?”
“Because of my son, David Barton—he left the Path of Authority last night.”
The Great Guardian sincerely stated: “This is undoubtedly an act of betrayal to Your Majesty, hence I brought David here at the earliest to apologize to you.”
“— Wait, left the Path?
What happened?”
Isabel had not yet grasped the situation.
— Can one leave a Path?
“Is the child alright?”
She asked subconsciously.
The Great Guardian patted David’s shoulder, signaling him to speak for himself.
While David’s expression appeared somewhat reticent, it carried an air of unwavering resolve.
“This is the situation, Your Majesty...”
David quickly relayed the dream from last night.
“He suddenly burst into flames last night.”
The Great Guardian added: “At that time, Nadia was terrified—but she soon realized that it was the influence of some mysterious power and dared not interfere.
So she immediately contacted me...
I was at Star Antimony, and couldn’t be reached via phone.
It was entirely thanks to a transcendent item I had left them to use in case of emergency, she was able to send out a warning to me.”
“I immediately returned with Philip, who flies very fast.
Hence, it took me less than half an hour to arrive.
And when I arrived, we realized that the power of David’s Path was disintegrating...
but his body was being reshaped into another form.”
The Great Guardian stated solemnly: “We quickly woke David up—and after confirmation, we discovered that it was the legacy of the ‘warrior’!”
“You should remember where the warrior’s legacy originated, Majesty.”
The normally reticent Great Justice reminded her.
