——Round Table Hall's emergency secret report, the Minister of the Navy has committed treason!

——The new Grand Arbitrator is a Silver Dragon in human form?

The next morning, the headlines of the major newspapers were all about the big event that had happened the day before.

There were various angles covered by the stories, and their authenticity varied greatly.

The most outrageous claim was that Aiwass's limbs had been broken and that he was still in critical condition after being rescued by bishops; there were also colorful stories that depicted how Aiwass and Aleister happened to meet, get to know each other, and fall in love; some said that Aleister was still being interrogated and had not yet revealed where Aiwass was being held.

The content of these news stories was even contradictory to each other.

One could say that each was sick in its own way.

The Glass Staircase Daily published the "speech" that Aleister had given in front of the reporters. Today's Demonic Painting, which is the GIF image that comes with the Glass Staircase Daily, was of Miss Aleister in her imperial dress, elegantly spreading her arms.

It was only now that people came to know what the so-called "Miss Aleister" actually looked like.

That nobility and aloof elegance and beauty were indeed unforgettable at first sight. It also made the matter of Aiwass being charmed by a foreign woman seem somehow more plausible.

——You're babbling too.

Not to mention, the attitude of "I love him, I've jailed him" sparked people's wild imaginations.

Because of Queen Sofia's life hanging by a thread, the subdued and tense atmosphere that pervaded Glass Island was temporarily overshadowed by this sensational piece of news.

Due to the possibility of entering a national period of mourning at any time, various forms of entertainment had been stopped in advance. In this era, different events and performances needed a lot of time for promotion and organization.

If the events were about to start, and then the mourning week commenced... it would undoubtedly result in tremendous economic loss. Therefore, various dance troupes, theater companies, and circuses had also ceased performances, with concert halls reducing their schedules to a third. In the absence of other forms of entertainment, this undoubtedly became a popular topic of conversation for the Avalonians.

But the fervor showed no signs of dying down.

Just a day after that, the Guardian accepted an interview with a reporter from the Glass Staircase Daily. He divulged some of the things "Miss Aleister" had said during her interrogation.

Especially regarding the little-known information that Miss Aleister had cohabited with a commoner and had known Aiwass for three years. There were also parts of the oath she had sworn in the presence of the Crown Lord — mainly "If there is a war, I will stand on Avalon's side," "I love Aiwass as I love myself," and "I have never used human material, nor will I in the future."

——The Guardian himself didn't really want to talk about these matters; they involved Miss Crowley's privacy, after all. Especially the bit about her previously living with a commoner, which could potentially tarnish her reputation.

But Ligeia insisted that it had been done with Aleister's own consent — and that these statements were necessary.

The purpose was to counterattack the Star Antimony people.

Since they had acknowledged "Aleister Crowley," a non-existent entity, they must also bear the consequences her various actions and attitudes had on the Crowley Family.

And this story, it resonated deeply with the tastes of the Irisflower People.

The forbidden, painful, and mutually tormenting love between Avalon's young minister and the daughter of an Earl from Star Antimony — this theme could probably be turned into a decent play or novel. It satisfied the Irisflower People's craving for romance, broke the stereotype of Avalonians being dull and unimaginative... and most importantly, it was a significant blow to the people of Star Antimony. The story was likely to sell well.

Once this narrative made its way to Star Antimony, it would put pressure on the Crowley Family.

Especially the statement, "If war breaks out between Star Antimony and Avalon, I will stand with Avalon." This stance would undoubtedly displease the people of Star Antimony. If war really erupted at that point, many from Star Antimony would be shocked — they couldn't see the deeper reasons and could only tap into the most popular, most sensational story of the moment.

——Without a doubt, this was a strategic maneuver in the style of Aiwass.

If successful, they could disgust them thoroughly; if not, there would be no negative consequences. Unlike Queen Sofia, who preferred intricate and tightly interwoven plots, Aiwass enjoyed playing these kinds of casual moves. He would dig a hole in the road when he had nothing better to do, thinking that eventually, someone would fall into one of the many traps.

On the other hand, the next phase of their plan was already in motion, masked by the gossip frenzy within Avalon.

The other two with big titles were neutral parties who did not involve themselves in affairs. In such circumstances, when the opinion of the Grand Arbitrator and the Guardian was unanimous and aligned with the Queen's wishes when she was "alive" or, rather, lucid... they also did not wish to meddle excessively.

They had already slipped the news of "the Minister of the Navy committing espionage and treason" into a pile of gossip and released it. With the intelligence spit out by the Minister of the Navy, Ligeia soon identified those ministers who had been approached by the Star Antimony.

Afterward, she proceeded to interrogate and judge them directly. During the entire process, as the Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, Aiwass never appeared—it was all a personal action from the Grand Arbitrator.

Among them, there was indeed a high-profile individual in constant contact with the Star Antimony, always ready to flee—the Maritime Minister, in charge of naval affairs.

He had close ties with Dewes Ramos and also had good relations with the former Trade Minister Drost. From the interrogation, Ligeia extracted one of the reasons for Avalon's navy's rapid defeat in the "Ten-Day War": the Maritime Minister had once sold Avalon's naval defense maps to the Star Antimony people.

Ligeia was instantly enraged and handed down the death sentence on the spot.

The judgment power from the Silver-Crowned Dragon allowed royal family members on the Path of Authority to execute disloyal officers arbitrarily.

—Suddenly, a huge, dazzling, and intricate silver light sword appeared in front of everyone, materializing in the afternoon sky.

Because of that strange sight, Glass Island even experienced a bit of chaos for a moment.

Only the elders of Avalon recognized what it was.

They were deeply moved, walking out of their houses one after another, gazing into the sky with a transfixed expression.

It was the "Execution Spell."

The highest-level Law Magic. Once targeted, one cannot resist, evade, or parry it.

But it's usually not for combat; it's for execution—the special power of the Grand Arbitrator.

It is only used when a current minister or a direct royal family member must be sentenced to death.

Meg hadn't exercised this power of the Grand Arbitrator for a very long time.

So much so that people had almost forgotten that the Grand Arbitrator had such strength, such authority.

Now this young dragon woman named "Ligeia," her actions are obviously much more brutal than Meg's... This may also imply the attitude of the new king.

It made the spies hiding on Glass Island consider whether Isabel was as docile and harmless as she appeared to be?

—Clearly, that was impossible.

The people close to her, Aiwass, Sherlock, Ligeia... each of them acted brutally. Entirely different from the approach during Queen Sofia's rule.

Without Isabel's, the future new queen's, backing, how would they dare to act so boldly?

Had they imperceptibly usurped power from the new queen?

Impossible!

It's well known that the Hermes Family and the Barton Family, where the Guardian resides, are staunch royalists. They would never do such a thing.

Therefore, there's only one explanation.

—Isabel's previous behavior was merely a facade!

Hence, these spies from Star Antimony and Irisflower meticulously penned what they had witnessed into secret letters and sent them back to their homelands.

They issued a very pointed and serious warning. It was a very reasonable deduction made after analyzing the intelligence.

Be wary of Isabel Du Lac!

This young queen possesses ruthlessness and a strong offensive desire that are completely at odds with her appearance!
