Chapter 1073 Guess who I brought with me

Chapter 1073 Guess who I brought back
Avalon, the Glass Island.

It was past noon on May 21st.

Isabel sat alone in the pavilion in the courtyard of the Temple of Silver and Tin.

The end of May is already early summer, and the midday sun becomes glaring. Even if it is not directly on your body, its heat can make you drowsy.

The Griffin Minister of Avalon rests in this backyard... It was also here that Aiwass learned horse riding.

She stared blankly at the lush flowers and plants in the courtyard and slightly extended her hand towards them.

Her white and slender fingers were like the baton of an orchestra, playing the sound of miracles.

I saw a rainbow of light emerging - a very gorgeous giant flower sprouted from the bush. It had red and purple petals and looked like a gorgeous giant rose. From any angle, it was real.

But Isabel sighed softly.

As Isabel's fingers curled up, it shattered like a glass plate and turned into nothingness in an instant. The glass fragments on the ground gradually dissipated, like ice melting in the sun.

It was not that Isabel actually gave birth to such a flower, but that she conjured it up using magic.

“…What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true.”

Isabel's lips curled up slightly, and she whispered, "I really can't be the 'Queen of Flowers'."

When people are anxious, they tend to think about random things. She remembered something Aiwass had said to her unintentionally not long ago when they were at her pillow - he had seen another possibility for the future.

If the Stars successfully invade Avalon, Isabel will have to flee overseas with Aiwas. Avalon will then be reduced to wasteland due to the arrival of Shadows. In that worldline, Isabel will sacrifice her ability to give birth to offspring in exchange for the inheritance of the ability called Flowers, thereby repairing the land of Avalon.

——That was the inheritance from her mother, the half-elf Ineris Blossom.

As the Queen of Flowers, she has power almost equal to that of the Celestial Beings on Earth. She can even restore life to the land polluted by the Shadow Celestial Beings... But as the price of all this, she must sacrifice her "love". Without love, how can she love Aiwass?

Isabel couldn't imagine how she in that world would accept such a choice.

In that possibility, does she not love Aiwass? Or does she think Avalon is even more important than Aiwass?
Isabel absolutely did not believe and did not agree that in any world line, she should love Aiwass.

In the fifth level promotion ceremony, Isabel experienced unprecedented hardship and torture - she returned to the past when the Helasar Empire had not yet been established, and joined the ceremony as a pregnant woman. In that promotion ceremony, she gave birth to a girl named "Aleister" and raised her up with great difficulty... It was from then on that Isabel practiced how to be a good mother in advance.

She used to be a princess, and now Isabel is the queen. No matter what her status is, it is not her turn to do such hard work. But in that promotion ceremony, she really understood what kind of troubles an ordinary person would have in ordinary life... It was also from then on that she really became mature.

——Although her child had not opened his eyes to see her yet, she already knew that the child was obedient and cute.

Generally, pregnant mothers are always worried about whether the baby is healthy, cute, and whether they will like her... But for Isabel, who has been spoiled, she will not have such worries. She just wants to see her earlier... to see her again.

Isabel was already three months pregnant. When she looked in the mirror before going to bed, she could see a slight bulge in her abdomen. As a fourth-level transcendent, she did not experience nausea and vomiting like other pregnant women. She could feel obvious fatigue, sleepiness and lethargy with her naked eyes.

She had been through it all before. Even then she was alone.

Isabel has now developed a strong heart that can remain calm in the face of adversity, and it was during that promotion ceremony that she eradicated her fear and cowardice.

That was a real "promotion." Not only her energy level was elevated, but also her soul.

It was also because of this that she could now calm down and quietly wait for Aiwas's return.

At this moment, Isabel's pointed ears twitched slightly. She heard someone approaching.

"Yulia?"

Looking back to see who was coming, Isabel raised the corners of her mouth and waved happily, motioning Yulia to sit over.

When Yulia sat beside her obediently, Isabel smiled and held her in her arms, gently stroking her soft and warm white hair, just like carefully touching a white cat with her bent fingers.

And when Yulia sat next to her, Isabel suddenly felt that time passed so quickly... The girl who used to be more than half a head shorter than her was now almost as tall as her when she sat next to her.

The cute girl who always liked to hug her teddy bear and quietly huddled in the corner without anyone daring to look at her can now be called a young and beautiful girl.

Although Julia's birthday has not yet come, if calculated according to January 1st, the Holy Day of Candlemas, Julia is already sixteen years old this year.

After all, she is a 15 or 16-year-old girl, so it is normal for her to grow up suddenly.

Yulia felt uncomfortable with this posture of "lying in Isabel's arms", so she reached out to smooth her skirt, turned over and lay on Isabel's legs.

"Isa," Yulia looked into Isabel's eyes and spoke softly, "Aren't you afraid now?"

"afraid of what?"

Isabel replied nonchalantly, "Can Aiwass come back?"

"Well, I'm worried about him."

"You should have more faith in your brother, Yuli."

Her Majesty the Queen of Avalon did not even waver in her gaze: "I never doubted that anything would happen to him, because I believe he is the strongest."

"I believe it, but..."

Yulia tilted her head slightly and rubbed Isabel's belly carefully, trying to listen to the sound of the baby in her belly, but she failed in the end - a three-month-old fetus would not make any sound at all. She didn't know if the baby at this age could hear the outside noise. So Yulia didn't dare to speak too loudly, for fear of disturbing the baby.

"...I'm just worried about why he hasn't come back yet. Tomorrow is the 22nd...Your wedding process is so long, and don't you have to take a boat to the Theocracy?"

She felt that as a family member, she was not as patient as the person involved.

"Just believe it."

Isabel whispered, "I believe him."

She no longer looked down at Yulia, but raised her head to look at the bright sun.

Because even if she was late...she wouldn't say anything.

Isabel now has a vague idea of some secrets.

The Twilight Wall, the Doomsday Clock...

The Amber Pillar God of the Dusk Path is actually a wall to defend against the end of the world. Outside the wall, there is a powerful enemy that can destroy the entire world. It is a powerful enemy that is stronger than the Heavenly Master and even stronger than the Pillar God.

The Helasar Empire believes that this world has a doomsday clock - every time it encounters "a certain event", the clock's hands will rotate forward a portion of the time. And just as time will not flow backwards... the hands that move forward will not move back again because of the resolution of the event. As long as there are enough accumulated problems, when the clock rotates a circle and returns to the starting point again, the end of the world will come.

——This is the level of problem that Aiwass is dealing with.

Just like when she was a child, Isabel sometimes couldn't understand what she was reading. For example, she encountered an unfamiliar word or didn't understand the meaning of a sentence. But she never dared to ask her grandmother... Because Isabel was very sensible since she was a child, she knew that what her grandmother was busy with was much more important than her own business.

"As long as I don't make things worse, I'm already helping Aiwass."

Isabel closed her eyes slightly and whispered.

Having said that, she still feels lonely.

Just like Aiwass was always unable to take her with him when he went out on adventures... In the past, it could be said that she was incapable and full of dangers. But now she is already a fifth-level extraordinary person, and Avalon and Xingtan have both returned to peace and stability. She doesn't need to deal with it, and reasonable policies can basically be implemented smoothly.

——But she still couldn't go anywhere.

This was the only way Isabel could give Aiwas a little help.

"It would be nice if you were the monarch, Yuri."

Isabel said from the bottom of her heart: "You can definitely do better and more fairly than me. You have read so many books and have so much knowledge...but I can't do anything. I can only sing, dance, draw, write books...they are indeed difficult skills to learn, but they can't help the people of Avalon live a better life.

"As a result, no matter how hard I try, I can only push through the decree with the help of the ministers... If it were you, it wouldn't be like this."

"——But you tried your best, didn't you?"

Aiwass's gentle voice sounded from behind: "From knowing nothing to being recognized by the people of Avalon as a qualified and excellent queen...it only took you a few months, Isa. You are a genius, a hard-working genius."

Yulia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she rolled over and got up from Isabel's legs: "Brother!"

And Isabel also showed a look of joy in her eyes.

No matter how much I believed in Aiwass, it was still a different feeling to see him come back in person.

She stood up, walked quickly towards Aiwass and hugged him.

——That warm and bright feeling is like hugging the sun.

"You will never guess who I brought back this time."

Aiwass whispered in Isabel's ear.

"Who?"

Didn't he go to bring Sherlock back? Did he run into someone?

Isabel asked subconsciously: "My...father?"

—Prince Albert has not returned to Avalon to this day.

"No, it's my mother. The mother who has the same blood flowing in my body."
