Mystery: Lucky One

This was a very natural result. Klein was surprised, but not too surprised.

As he said, he came to Amon not for the three extraordinary characteristics and uniqueness - he could not hide this from Amon, and it would be useless even if he said it, because everyone with a discerning eye knew that what he should do most at the moment was to deal with Antigonus and then hold a ceremony to become a real "Fool".

Only after that should he consider the uniqueness of adjacent pathways and the extraordinary properties of Sequence 1.

Amon would doubt the truthfulness of his words if he thought about it carefully. Moreover, Amon knew enough information. He knew about the apotheosis ceremony of the Fool, knew that Alice had become the Wheel of Fortune, and knew about the so-called "love story".

For Amon, it was not difficult to think that he would fool fate in this way. Moreover, it would not matter even if Amon guessed it. This time god used the appearance of recklessness to deceive almost everyone. But after seeing the real recklessness of Alice, Klein found that Amon was still too cautious.

For example, he had never seen Amon rob the donation box of the Church of Storms, touch the fur of the Goddess of Night, or pretend to be an angel under the throne of a true god...

The "blasphemer" may blaspheme, but he never lacks the reverence for the gods, and Alice...

Klein shook his head, feeling unlucky.

He turned his attention to Amon again. Klein knew that even if Amon had guessed all this, the only thing he could do was to tell Alice and destroy his ritual. But...

He can choose not to become a god first and get rid of Amon, but can Amon die first?
So Klein smiled at Amon nonchalantly and said, "If we really get married, it probably won't be considered a joke."

"Oh~" Amon showed an understanding expression, "Do you want her to think we are married?"

Actually, no, I just wanted her to think that you proposed to me and I agreed... Klein glanced at Amon but did not give a more detailed explanation. He just nodded.

Amon took a breath, but it was only for a moment. He quickly revealed a smile that was obviously malicious. He looked at Klein and asked:
“Mr. Fool… Well, you probably don’t mind me calling you that, right? It’s useless even if you mind.

"Does your plan require cooperation from me, the client? I'm happy to help, Mr. Fool~"

There was no hiding the briskness and ill intentions in his tone. Klein's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but say:

"This... the embodiment of mischief, I am very curious, is the target of your current prank me or her?"

"Why can't it be you two?" Amon asked lightly.

Klein smiled without saying anything. After staring at him for a few seconds, Amon chose to admit defeat first:
"Alright alright.

"If it's her, can I really become your angel of time, Mr. Fool?"

The expression on Klein's face froze for a moment. In the end, he did not let the City of Silver modify the contents of the Holy Scripture. After all, Amon was no longer a threat. In comparison, letting the City of Silver know the truth would be more serious for Klein.

Therefore, when Amon asked this question, Klein felt guilty and felt that he was being ridiculed. After a brief pause, combined with Amon's suggestion, Klein thought of another possibility. He raised his eyebrows and asked:
“You should know that you are different from Zaratul. Even for your father’s sake, I will not kill you.

"Although your father and I cannot be considered friends, I don't want to be his enemy either."

So, you don't need to show me kindness.

Klein's eyes fell on Amon. Amon raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "What do the affairs between you adults have to do with me?"

Lord Klein looked at Amon, who looked like a young man, and fell into deep thought.

In the silence, an invitation was silently transmitted to the Mind Island. Klein frowned and looked at Amon, but He smiled and said:
"Since you are here as a guest, why don't you talk to the host here? I heard that it is very impolite..."

Klein didn't respond. He suddenly realized that although Adam and the "True Creator" hiding in the barrier didn't know the situation, they seemed to be able to communicate with the outside world!

This realization made Klein instantly understand why Amon wanted to stay here—Amon, who had lost his uniqueness, was clearly seeking the protection of his father!

...I just don't know how much trouble they... uh, they are willing to get into for Amon.

Klein looked at Amon silently, then agreed to the invitation.

……

"Vanessa, whose child do you think Miss Alice is?" A maid asked another maid beside her as she opened the door of the nursery.

Her name is Anna. She is not too old and was chosen by Tanya because she has experience in taking care of her younger brother.

The maid from another family, whom she called Vanessa, was also selected. She was a few years older than Anna and had taken care of her brother's newborn niece, so she was quite experienced.

Hearing Anna's question, Vanessa shook her head, seemingly unwilling to discuss it further, and only said lightly:
"Didn't I tell you? This is the daughter of M. Dantes's friend..."

"But don't you think it's strange?" Anna approached the crib to check on the baby. "Mr. Dantès has been away for so long, how could he come back so suddenly? Not only did he not show any signs, but he also brought a child back..."

"This is not something we should be concerned about," Vanessa's voice was emotionless. She also moved closer to the crib. "Besides, the demand for servants in the manor is not that high. If the two housekeepers heard your discussion, I don't know what would happen."

"What are you afraid of?" Anna said indifferently. "As long as you don't tell anyone, no one will know... I'm still very curious about Mr. Dantes' friend. I remember that Mr. Dantes had a friend whose daughter lived in Backlund. I heard that his friend was the boss of the Archbishop of the Church of Evernight..."

Vanessa stopped responding. She reached out and touched the baby girl in the crib. After confirming that she had not woken up, she began to check the diaper.

This is what Alice called it. In reality, it is still quite different from the diapers of the past. For example, it lacks a waterproof layer, and the material is also different from the diapers of the past. The current diapers are made of cloth. For a wealthy businessman like Dwayne Dantes, the cloth used is naturally more expensive. In fact, Audrey is in charge of managing Dwayne Dantes' assets, and the funding is naturally provided by Audrey. Tanea asked the host family for their opinions when making the selection, and Audrey did not hesitate to take Tanea's question to Miss Destiny...

Of course, you still have to choose your own diapers.

In addition to the outer layer of cloth, the filling materials inside also vary. After all, not everyone can afford a cotton core. However, Alice is sure that the core inside the diapers in her memory could not be cotton, at least not ordinary cotton - although she doesn't know what the specific material is.

When Audrey was discussing with Alice what kind of diapers she should use, Alice couldn't bear to see Audrey's expression and asked sincerely:

"Since Emperor Roselle improved the baby bottle, why didn't he improve the diaper?" "...I don't know." Audrey answered sincerely.

This disappointing conversation ended quickly. Alice saw Audrey again at this moment. She sat in front of the crib and asked curiously:
"Ms. Destiny, I have always been curious...

"Do you know Emperor Roselle?"

Alice let out an "ah" and denied it without hesitation: "No, I don't know him."

"But you seem to have great confidence in him... uh, in him?" Audrey said her doubts carefully. "I know that some people are used to attributing famous sayings and inventions whose origins are unknown to Emperor Roselle, but they will not ask if it came from Emperor Roselle just because they see something or say something."

After a few seconds of pausing, she concluded her speech: "You seem to have special trust in Emperor Roselle's...wisdom?"

"Because~" Alice raised her voice, and Audrey showed an expectant look at the same time. Alice looked at her and then showed a wicked smile.

"I won't tell you." She tilted her head, which took up one-third of her body, and laughed.

Audrey was dumbfounded. She opened her mouth but said nothing. Alice smiled again:
"I thought you were going to ask for my last name first... I heard your conversation with Mr. 'World', and I thought you had something in mind."

Audrey paused. She did have a desire to explore this. Even today, she was still the girl who was curious about the occult. However, relatively speaking, she had learned to control her thirst for knowledge and curiosity, and did not ask questions that she was not supposed to know.

Alice couldn't help laughing as she licked the ice cream that Audrey mechanically fed her - she told Audrey that she wouldn't see anyone without ice cream.

After licking the ice cream, Alice smiled and said, "Do you suspect that Moretti is Mr. Fool's last name?"

Audrey clenched her hands nervously, and Alice sat up in the crib, which was something a premature baby would never be able to do, but it was normal - after all, she could speak.

Audrey didn't show any strangeness. She watched Alice take the ice cream from her hand and eat it herself. She asked curiously:
"Ms. Destiny, I remember that premature babies should only drink milk, but you seem...?"

Alice said "Huh" and asked in confusion: "Have you ever asked the 'world' a similar question?"

"I asked," Audrey nodded, "Mr. World told me that eating is not necessary for angels, it is only to maintain humanity, but you..."

Eating like this won't help you maintain your humanity, right...?
Audrey looked as if she was about to say something, but Alice answered while eating her ice cream:
"Humph, your Mr. World drinks sweet iced tea every day... So, you really don't want to ask me whose last name this Moretti is?"

Audrey, who knew Mr. World's hobbies, fell into a strange silence. She hesitated and said:

"So, the name Moretti comes from...?"

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about one question," Alice's eyes rolled maliciously, "I think in the Second and Third Eras, there was probably no distinction between 'surnames' and 'given names'. Amon might be an exception. After all, there are too many Amons. To others, it's like the existence of the Medici family... I think their names are both given names and surnames for their descendants."

After a pause to give Audrey time to digest what she had said, Alice continued:
"But I have both a 'surname' and a 'first name'. As long as I 'restart' enough times, I will have a long list of last names.

"Will calling each of these surnames make me aware of something?"

"......?" Audrey blinked blankly, full of doubts, "What would happen if you noticed something?"

"I don't know," Alice answered matter-of-factly. "Maybe, it depends on my mood."

Audrey fell silent. She thought for a moment and then made her own guess: "I think maybe it needs to be a name that you truly approve of? A name that you truly approve of and have actually used..."

"That's too bad," Alice sighed bitterly, "I approve of every one of my names with all my heart."

"This..." Audrey didn't know what to say. She was also lost in thought.

This sounds troublesome, after all, it is impossible to prevent... No, wait, it seems that He can really prevent others from having the same name as Him...

Audrey's eyes suddenly flashed with fear. She couldn't help but asked:
"Miss Destiny, you...

"Do you know the Moretti brother and sister?"

"I know," Alice replied naturally, "I even sent them flowers with Mr. World."

"Is that Mr. World's former family?" Audrey asked.

"Obviously," Alice replied easily, "It should be obvious, right? At least to you... after all, he has inquired about their news so many times."

Audrey nodded and agreed to this matter. At the same time, Ellie's attitude made Audrey realize that Miss Destiny probably had no intention of leaving the Moretti family without a successor - at least not now. This made her feel somewhat relieved, and she immediately asked carefully:

"You... you know that children among mortals usually take their parents' surnames, and here in Loen, most take their father's surname. Why... why did you inherit Mr. World's original surname...?"

Alice looked at Audrey and was silent for several minutes. Suddenly she raised her head and replied with a smile:

"Don't you already have the answer?"

"What's the answer?" Audrey was confused for a moment, and a guess was about to surface.

Before that thought came to her mind, Alice said:

"You also said that children in Loen usually take their father's surname. Mr. Fool is my 'mother', so...

"Have you never wondered who my father is?" (End of this chapter)
