“...Hm.”
Aiwass groggily got up from the bed, making an incomprehensible moaning sound.
Lily was by his side in an instant, one hand supporting Aiwass’s back, the other handing him a cup of water at just the right temperature, “Drink some water, young master.”
Aiwass was gently fed warm water by Lily, and his consciousness, dry and stilted like an unoiled machine, began to rapidly recover.
...Did I just black out?
His last memory was of Queen Isabel leaving with Edward, and everything after that had simply vanished into thin air.
How strange.
A third energy level Transcendent from the Path of Devotion, and I got this drunk?
“I feel much better...
...
Pass me a candle, Lily.”
Aiwass lifted his head, finished the last sip of water, then spoke in a slightly hoarse voice, “Is it time for dinner yet?”
Only then did he suddenly realize that the room was filled with lit candles.
Lily handed him a candle and got up to draw back the curtains.
Looking at the sky outside, Aiwass was stunned for a moment, “Is it already the next day?”
Grasping the candle, Aiwass quickly came to a realization, “Is it because I was making ‘that’ Phantom Card?”
His memory and reasoning gradually returned.
Aiwass recalled that the final step in creating the “Lust” Phantom Card was to let the creator become completely intoxicated under overwhelming passion, falling into a state of utter drunkenness beyond control.
At that point, with one’s own willpower, one would drop blood with a high alcohol content onto the card’s surface.
This act would also sacrifice the latest fragment of memory to the Eternal Self...
resulting in an effect similar to “blackout drunkenness.”@@@@
...But did it have to consume so many memories?
He couldn’t even recall if he had eaten.
Aiwass suddenly started to feel anxious again.
To ensure he could become completely drunk with ordinary alcohol, he very likely used the Banquet Master’s ritual to ensure his entry into a state of chaos.
And afterwards, he lost about four hours of memory.
...The excitement, the drunkenness.
Though Aiwass had a lot of confidence in his own rationality...
he still couldn’t be 100% sure that he hadn’t gone crazy from the alcohol or blabbered some nonsensical words.
Aiwass looked to Lily expectantly, pressing, “What did I do at the time?
Or rather, what did I say?”
Based on Aiwass’s understanding of Lily and himself, he was certain he would have kept Lily by his side before losing control.
Which meant, Lily must have witnessed the entire process.
However, Lily just smiled with crinkled eyes and shook her head.
Uncharacteristically, she did not answer Aiwass’s question but consoled him instead, “Young master, you didn’t get drunk at the banquet, nor did you go mad from the drink.
You got drunk in your own bedroom after the banquet ended, and only managed to utter some drunken babble afterward.”
“It was Queen Isabel and Miss Ligeia who drank with you.
You used a special ritual to quickly get yourself drunk...
and the next to get drunk was Queen Isabel.
But after both of you were drunk, Miss Ligeia took the Queen away.”
“As for what you said at the time...
you might want to ask Queen Isabel herself.”
Lily’s lips curved slightly, as if holding back laughter.
...Eh?
It was the first time Aiwass was outright refused by Lily.
