Mystery: Lucky One

Amid Mr. Fool's numerous warnings and instructions, Alice said goodbye to him and continued to be a baby.

Meige Manor is a good place. Miss Justice, who comes to visit from time to time, will obediently bring ice cream. Alice doesn't often chat with her - mainly because Miss Justice doesn't dare to listen, but she is happy to listen to her talk about things in the outside world.

That Verdu Abraham was still being kept by Klein, and Klein seemed to have decided not to care about him for the time being. When the image of the "world" Gehrman Sparrow spread along with the name of the Fool, Klein took on the extraordinary characteristics of the second "Servant of Mysteries" and became the true King of Angels.

Afterwards, Klein and Audrey went to meet Hermes.

The weight of an Angel King was enough. Of course, this inevitably exposed Klein's true identity to Audrey, but Audrey did not show any abnormality. She just asked a question:
"Mr. World, how come you can become the King of Angels even though you are on the same path as Mr. Fool?"

In response, Klein only smiled and said, "When you reach Angel, you will know the answers to some questions."

……

With the help of Hermes, the innocent girl Audrey was separated. Audrey left this past self at home to accompany her parents, and she was truly relieved.

She would still come to visit Alice, whether as her separated identity or her original self, but the former would come openly while the latter would come in secret.

Alice would not say anything to the separated personality. When in front of the other person, she would just act like an ordinary baby and only show her abnormality in front of the real Audrey.

Normally, Klein should be there, but Klein is obsessed with playing the role of "The Secret Server", and Alice rarely has the opportunity to see him in real life.

Recently, Klein liked to mention Amon in front of her. He seemed to have connected with Amon. Although they had no hostility, they were surprisingly compatible in some aspects. Klein often talked about Amon's clones with different personalities and how he got along with them.

Klein also mentioned the Amon family to Alice, mentioned several members of the Amon family, and told her their stories.

Alice tried to interrupt at first, but as the conversation progressed, she found that Klein mentioned Amon more and more often, and he got to know Amon better and better, so she couldn't get a word in at all!

This made Alice feel a sense of crisis. She thought of the Angel of Time in the Holy Scripture and had to remind Klein:
"Mr. Fool, why do you sound like you like Amon very much?
"Don't forget, He is not a good person..."

"Neither are you," Klein reminded him dimly. "And in comparison, Amon, who is at Sequence 2, is still a subordinate of Sefirah Castle. I have strong control over him, unlike you. If you really want to cause trouble, I don't think I can control you, right?"

Alice felt a growing sense of crisis. She felt that her position in front of the Fool was about to be replaced. This was unacceptable. She said:
"But Amon still has his father. No matter what, he can't give you the angel at that time. He will definitely stand on his father's side first."

Klein also had something to say about this. He glanced at Alice and reminded her faintly:
"You have countless 'mothers'..."

"You are the only one here right now." Ellie said without hesitation.

Klein did not comment. He did not continue the topic. He just shook his head and said, "I'm going to the main peak of the Honachis Mountains."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Have you digested the potion?"

“It didn’t melt in your mouth, but it was very quick…” Klein sighed, “Both servings of ‘The Secret Waiter’ were like this.”

It made sense. Alice nodded and then frowned.

"A ritual that fools history or time. Do you have any idea?"

“Not yet,” Klein sighed, “But it’s time to face the ancestor of the Antigonus family... Oh, by the way, I will see you tomorrow.”

Klein looked at Alice, who easily understood what he meant and raised her hand to make her own request:

"I want ice cream - no historical projections. Bring some more. I won't let it go bad."

Klein responded with a smile.

In fact, Alice doesn't need to be in person to perform the operation of bestowing luck, and Klein can also bestow luck on himself, but fresh ice cream is best.

Besides, Klein, who could teleport everywhere, didn't care about the distance. Therefore, most of Klein's ice cream was delivered in person.

Alice met Klein the next day. She stared in amazement as Klein appeared in front of her with an ice cream truck. She said in horror:

"Whose did you steal?"

"I bought it honestly!" Klein said righteously, "Do you think I'm Amon? I don't have the habit of stealing other people's things as gifts!"

As he spoke, the ice cream cart was pushed in front of Alice, drawing all of her attention away. Klein then withdrew his left hand.

——On the middle finger of that hand, there was a silver ring inlaid with a sapphire.

That’s where the engagement ring is.

Klein watched Alice staggering onto the ice cream truck. He didn't look worried at all. He just shook his head and said,
"Slow down... Tsk, luckily Amon doesn't like ice cream."

"What does this have to do with Amon?" Alice raised her head in confusion.

“…Nothing.” Klein smiled. “Have you ever seen Amon transformed into a woman?”

Alice nodded hesitantly, and Klein raised his left hand to his lips, coughed lightly, and said:

“It’s pretty nice, isn’t it?”

The smile on Alice's face disappeared.

She remembered that Klein had mentioned Amon more and more frequently recently, and she couldn't help but shudder. A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart. She asked with a look of near horror:
“Klein, you don’t like… Damn, what is that thing in your hand?!”

The sapphire ring on Klein's left hand sparkled. Alice jumped up with a horrified look on her face and snatched the ring away. Klein suddenly became panicked and hurried over to stop her, saying:
"Hey, hey, hey you, don't grab it, it was given to me by someone else!"

"?" Alice held the ring and looked at him expressionlessly.

"...Why do you look like that?" Klein stopped moving, but his eyes kept looking at the ring, showing unusual concern.

Alice took a breath of cold air. She remembered the appearance of the ring. It was clearly, it was clearly...

"Rose Oath"!
"It looks pretty good?" She looked at Klein and repeated what he had just said.

“…What’s wrong?” Klein said hesitantly.

Alice didn't say anything. She first glanced at the ring in her hand again, then looked at Klein and spoke hesitantly:
"You've been talking about Amon a lot lately."

“Hmm…” Klein continued uncertainly, as if he didn’t know how to answer.

Alice took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and asked again:
“You said before… I remember you said before that Amon has changed a lot?” “Yes,” Klein nodded, “He is not as reckless as before. Sometimes he cares about other people’s feelings. Moreover, He is willing to listen to my advice and try not to hurt innocent people…”

...Is he really listening to advice? He is clearly afraid of death!

Alice felt indescribably angry after hearing this. She really wanted to raise her hand and punch Klein, smashing his head open to see if there was a love brain inside. But - what if? What if she was wrong...

Alice took another look at the ring in her hand. The ring had a severe anti-divination function. Alice could not see the effect or ability of the ring, which made her feel unbelievable. If we don’t consider Klein’s own anti-divination function, the master of the "Chaos Sea" would have to do it himself to make her unable to see it.

In other words, Amon used this ring to make Klein fall in love with Him?

Alice came up with this idea with the last glimmer of hope. If this ring really came from the "Rose Oath", this would indeed be feasible. She also remembered the side effect of the "Rose Oath". If the ring was worn for a week without being removed, the two holders of the ring would fall in love with each other.

——In fact, this is self-deception. Above demigod, the impact of the side effects of magical items is greatly weakened. Now that Klein is the King of Angels, it is almost impossible for him to be affected by items of this level.

Moreover, even if this was true, Klein was willing to accept Amon's gift, a ring, and wear it on his left middle finger, which was quite...

Thinking of this, Alice couldn't help licking her dry lips.

...It's so scary.

Alice took a breath and asked tentatively, "Is this ring given to you by Amon?"

Klein nodded. Alice smiled and asked with a gritted teeth:

"Do you know what it's called?"

"I know," Klein answered cheerfully, "It's the ring that Amon stole from you. You later gave the other half to Him... It's a set of couple rings called 'Rose Oath', right?"

Alice turned a little paler, but she continued to ask:

"You...you know the side effects of this ring?"

"Of course I know," Klein nodded. "If you wear it for a week, you will fall in love with the person... Alice, I am already the King of Angels. I will not be affected by this level of side effects."

...Anyway, this is barely good news...What a bullshit!
Thinking of Klein's previous series of strange behaviors and what he just said, Alice felt a headache. She ignored it and continued to ask:

"The other half is still in Amon's hands?"

Klein nodded hesitantly. Before he could speak, Alice asked:

"Where does this anti-divination come from?"

"Do you still remember the drop of water from the River of Everlasting Darkness that I brought for the goddess?" Klein replied, "I... um... you seem to have guessed it? There are some things I don't know how to tell you, so I asked the goddess to do a reverse divination on this ring. The goddess told me that with the water of the River of Everlasting Darkness as the medium, this reverse divination can make it impossible for you to spy..."

"That's right," Alice sneered, "It sounds like you've already brought Amon to meet his parents."

“…No,” Klein denied. “We haven’t reached that stage yet. I just feel that, He, he…”

He paused, glanced at Alice cautiously, and then spoke as if to throw away a broken jar:

"She's actually quite cute."

After listening for a while, he looked at Alice's distorted expression and added tentatively:
"Just like you."

...Fuck you!

Alice cursed silently and threw the ring at Klein.

Klein hurriedly went to take the ring. He seemed to be afraid that the ring would be damaged or lost. In his panic, he didn't even think of using his extraordinary ability. Alice closed her eyes in despair, looking at the huge amount of ice cream in the ice cream truck. For the first time, she felt that she had no appetite at all.

After receiving the ring, Mr. Fool obviously noticed her strangeness. He walked up to her cautiously, poked her, and tentatively shouted:
"Alice?"

"Get out." Alice lay down on the ground, closed her eyes, and spoke weakly.

Klein retracted his hand and asked cautiously and apologetically:

"Alice, are you okay?"

"Get out!!!" Alice turned around and yelled at him fiercely.

Klein silently shrank back to his original position. He looked at Alice cautiously, as if he wanted to leave but didn't dare to. He whispered:
"Alice..."

Alice took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, turned her head and said to Klein:

“…Give me some time.

"This, this is really a bit too much of a shock. I never thought... I, I don't know, I never thought that one day...

"Klein, I really haven't thought about it... Even if you slept with Cynthia at that time, it is within my understanding, but Amon... No, He, I don't know, forget it, just leave me alone.

"Just think of it as me not being able to accept you finding me a stepfather."

Cynthia? Who... Oh, that "Mother Tree of Desire"... the one who called me General and wanted to have a child with me.

Klein remembered this man's identity. He glanced at Alice and roughly understood Alice's feelings - it was just that it was difficult to put him and Amon together on this matter.

...By the way, wasn't this you who started it?
Klein felt both amused and annoyed for a moment. After all, it was Alice who first brought him and Amon's love story. But at this moment, Klein knew that he had to continue acting, so he said carefully:
"It could also be my stepmother..."

This sentence broke Alice's defense once again. She turned her head and roared angrily, gritting her teeth:

"Get out of here!!!"

Klein looked at Alice cautiously again, then stammered in response:
“Okay, alright.

"You don't want to sleep in the ice cream truck for too long...you'll catch a cold."

With these instructions, he turned around, and his figure faded away. (End of this chapter)
