When the plot-skips players into the game world

It was evident that during those several months when the investigation could not proceed, Aiwass had been with Princess Isabel!

It was during that time that Aiwass had become acquainted with Isabel, and had sworn loyalty to this heir to the throne of Avalon. It was only thereafter that Aiwass began to appear in the newspapers continuously!

"It all connects now!"

Andre clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Everything makes sense now!"

The renowned detective Sherlock Hermes disappeared one night after being taken away by Aiwass and never returned.

He had once sought to investigate the Moriarty Family, learned from his own sources the secret that the Moriarty Family were all adoptees, and also obtained some scandalous information on James Moriarty.

—Perhaps it was because Sherlock had learned something he should not have known, leading to his murder by the Moriarty Family!

According to another piece of intelligence, Aiwass had personally delivered a document for the Gryphon Minister of Avalon to stamp with a paw print.

That could only have been an authorization.

"...wait a second."

Andre felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Aiwass could not ride Gryphons himself, what did he need the Gryphon Minister's authorization for?

Thinking this, Andre was suddenly horrified.

Now, Queen Isabel was obviously making some arrangements, but he could not make sense of these events at all!

...they seemed too scattered, almost coincidental.

But could that be possible?

It was impossible.

She had managed to conceal her own talents to avoid the Irisflower People's curse. Now, she could hide her schemes beneath a series of seemingly coincidental events.

The old newspapers and intelligence related to Aiwass coalesced in his mind, giving rise to various associations, which he then dismissed one by one.

The newspapers often reported that Aiwass was repeatedly kidnapped and attacked by Noble Red and their Demon...

After Aiwass became a member of the Lohar Society, the Lohar leader who tried to steal the country was suddenly investigated by the Supervisory Court and ultimately executed in secrecy...

Without the involvement of the Supervisory Court, the identity of Minister Drost as a spy was mysteriously exposed, and a live capture was made...

The Iris Kingdom illogically admitted to the assassination and cursing of the Avalonian royal family and paid a heavy price...

The Crown Lord, a Word Spirits-wielder who appeared out of nowhere, seemed to be only eight or nine years old but possessed Fifth Power Level strength... either having Dragon Clan blood or outright being a humanoid Dragon...

On the eve of Queen Sofia's death, bypassing the Round Table Hall meeting and using the Execution Spell, she executed a veteran minister suspected of being a Star Antimony spy and imprisoned multiple ministers...

A Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures, who had no subordinates and no departmental affairs to handle, yet had the Gryphon Minister personally authorize a secret document...

Upon receiving information that Aleister Crowley was a Star Antimony spy, it was immediately, and uncharacteristically, publicized and heavily propagated...

Mobilized Avalonians to develop a sense of superiority and confidence against Star Antimony...

Andre felt a chill in his heart.

The past intelligence rapidly linked together in his mind.

A bold yet reasonable thought suddenly appeared in the mind of Detective Andre—

"Avalon is gearing up for war, using brute force to stabilize the domestic situation!

"—Queen Isabel plans to send the Gryphon Legion on an air raid against Star Antimony, and the Irisflower People have already allied with them!"

Should this information be sent back...

His expression shifted, and ultimately, he made up his mind.

Not to send to Star Antimony, but to the Mage Tower first!

The political situation in Star Antimony was in chaos. If it were a war of aggression, that would be one thing, but a defensive invasion would likely trigger internal division.

The Gryphon Legion of Avalon has too much strength on the offensive front, and Star Antimony still lacks countermeasures against the Gryphons—that is to say, if the Mage Tower halts the research on "Gryphon weapons," the people of Star Antimony will have no resistance against the Gryphon Legion...

But in the end, he is just an eye, not a brain.

He does not have the power to think... Therefore, Andre planned to first send the intelligence to the Mage Tower, and then see their opinion, to decide whether or not to inform Star Antimony so they can make early war preparations.

The capital of Star Antimony is still in the south of the Iris Kingdom, not directly adjacent to Avalon—if they want to wage war against Avalon, they need to use the ports formerly belonging to the Black Hawk Duchy to launch a surprise attack.

But if the Irisflower People and the Avalonians reach an alliance, Avalon could completely hide the Gryphon Legion within the Iris Kingdom's borders and launch a surprise attack on them!

With the Gryphons' divine speed, if launched from the south of the Iris Kingdom, it would take less than an hour to reach the capital of Star Antimony.

"War... is it coming?"

Andre muttered softly to himself.

His expression became heavy and serious.

If this intelligence is genuine, then the Narcissus Duchy must launch a rebellion first and foremost.

After all, Narcissus is located at the northeastern corner of Star Antimony, very close to Avalon in the east. If Avalon diverts part of its forces to the eastern front to guard against their Mage Legion, it is possible that Narcissus will also be dragged into the battle and forced to shed blood for the Star Antimony people.

So now the question arises.

When exactly will the Avalonians launch a large-scale attack?

If they misjudge this timing, their rebellion could very likely be suppressed!

"I can only continue to observe Minister Moriarty!"

Andre, with a grim expression, was prepared to lay down his life for his country.

On the other side, within the Hall of Silver and Tin, Aiwass was helping Isabel with her hair because she was about to go to the Round Table Hall to preside over her first meeting.

"This is how it's styled, right?"

Aiwass wasn't quite sure as he asked, "Are you sure, Lily?"

And Lily, with an indifferent tone, said, "That's correct. Then coil it up and thread it through this way..."

Isabel was still somewhat uneasy, "Are you really not attending the meeting, Aiwass? You could come along..."

"I know I have the qualifications."

Aiwass chuckled lightly, "But I want them to invite me there actively."

"...Well, what about me?"

"Like this, Isabel."

Aiwass suggested, "If you don't know how to respond, just keep a stern face and stay silent, saying 'I will consider it.' Then jot down the question. You can ask me after you come back and make an official response the next day."

"Is that okay...?"

"It's fine, you trust me."

Aiwass comforted her.

But he always felt that something was not quite right.

...It always felt like he was pulling strings from behind a curtain.

Did Sherlock actually predict it right? Was he really going to seduce and manipulate his sovereign?

However, Aiwass soon settled down again.

—Fuck it, what's there to fear.

This is called being a power minister!

Without a doubt, it's also a type of 'big character,' and it sounds very authoritative!
