Chapter 529: Chapter 414 A Very Reasonable Deduction Chapter 529: Chapter 414 A Very Reasonable Deduction “`
Watching Aiwass turn solemn all of a sudden, Emma simply brought her hands together apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t an to.”
“…No, it is my own deficiency.”
Aiwass stayed silent for a while, lightly shaking his head, and it took him a good while to force out a sentence.
This crow…
is sowhat unusual.
Scarlett Emma thought to herself.
Just as it seed Aiwass was going to agree to stay here with her tonight following her words…
the plan was ruined by a crow.
This surprised her greatly.
...
Even without using her extraordinary abilities…
her natural charm should have worked on wildlife as well.
Yet, she could clearly sense that the crow bore so kind of hostility towards her—Emma tried to smile at the crow with a gentle and harmless smile, but the subtle hostility only seed to grow stronger.
…This feeling was akin to the intense jealousy of a child.
Emma found this situation sowhat familiar.
She rarely used her extraordinary skill to control minds, as her natural beauty and charm were enough to easily twist others’ minds.
Emma especially enjoyed stealing others’ lovers—regardless of whether they were n or won.
She saw it as a kind of beastly hunt, an aggressive form of transcendence.
Without deliberately using her charm abilities, as long as the hatred and anger towards her were strong enough, one could break free with their own will.
Those little boys and little girls often had such intense reactions when their lovers, parents, idols, or secret crushes were taken by her—they didn’t know how to react or how to take back the ones they cherished, so they could only glare fiercely with their eyes.
Such reactions were just too adorable.
Like how a touch of saltiness or bitterness can bring out the presence of sweetness even more.
It is only when one is hated or disliked that the sweetness of love from others seems even more precious.
Only…
this shouldn’t be happening.
She examined the crow intently, and aside from finding it quite beautiful, she couldn’t find anything unusual after a long while.
Being able to resist her Charm of Radiance, it must be so kind of transcendent creature.
This could also explain why it looked so much more beautiful than a normal crow…
Emma could only be certain that the crow was definitely not a transcendent being of the Path of Love or the Path of Transcendence.
—For she didn’t sense the power of these two paths in it.
And for it to have the sa or higher energy level as hers, even more unlikely.
Such a powerful transcendent being couldn’t possibly behave as taly as a pet following Aiwass.
For this reason, Emma grew more curious about the crow’s owner, Aiwass.
“If I were you, I would imdiately cease coveting Aiwass,” ca an unexpected, chilly warning from the crow.
Emma had quite the experience in judging people—she could tell at once that it was a cultivated voice.
Thus, she imdiately ruled out the possibility of the crow being a transcendent creature, and asked with interest, “Are you soone’s eyes?
Could it be…
Her Majesty the Queen?”
If the crow didn’t have a consciousness of its own and was rely a dium for soone else to monitor Aiwass, then its resistance to her charm could be explained.
The core elent of Emma’s charm abilities was linked to her scent.
If one had not been in close contact with her, and had only seen her through newspapers, photographs, or other visual ans, at most, they would only find her to be very beautiful.
And the person who t this condition…
At this thought, Emma imdiately thought of the new Queen Isabel with her “tough attitude.”
She was a transcendent of the Path of Beauty.
And she happened to be away from Glass Island.
So, could there be a possibility…
that this crow was a work of her crafting?
That would explain why it looked so beautiful.
Because its form was false, a fabrication.
Thinking this, Emma was keenly interested in touching the crow.
The crow, with ruby-like clear pupils, just stared at her, still and silent, with indifference.
But at that mont, Aiwass suddenly extended his hand instinctively, and firmly pressed down on Emma’s hand.
This clear indication of rejection surprised Emma for a mont.
Within her sphere of influence, others should be as compliant with her requests as possible, caring for her safety and needs.
Had Aiwass broken free already?
“`
“…It’s still better not to compare like this.”
Aiwass had an obvious struggle on his face, but he still ultimately warned, “For the sake of your safety.”
“Well…
thank you then.”
Emma let out a light laugh and reached back to grasp the hand Aiwass had on her arm.
Like holding a hot water bottle, she covered his palm with both her hands, whispering softly, “Your hands are very warm…”
She completely ignored the crow’s warning.
It’s more accurate to say that it was precisely the crow’s warning that sparked Emma’s true interest.
She enjoyed the feeling of snatching sothing from others.
Not to ntion, it was sothing the noble Queen favored.
“…It’s fine.”
Usually very talkative, Aiwass had now beco reticent.
He simply replied curtly and closed his mouth.
Emma could see at a glance that his rationality had perceived sothing amiss and was trying hard to focus his spirit to resist her interference.
—But how could such things possibly stop her?
She hadn’t even really made a move to cast a spell to control Aiwass, so this couldn’t be considered an attack.
This was completely a part of Aiwass’s own heart leaning towards her…
it was his own body fighting against itself.
This intense psychological conflict caused Aiwass’s body temperature to rise, his cheeks to turn abnormally red, and his breathing to gradually beco rapid.
“Do you know, Aiwass?”
Emma smoothly replaced the title “Minister Moriarty” with Aiwass, “I ca to Avalon for the long-standing peace between our two nations.”
“…Yes, I know.”
“Star Antimony and Avalon are not enemies…
they never have been.”
She murmured softly, pulling Aiwass’s hand and stepping towards the inside of the house.
Aiwass’s footsteps at the door were sowhat unsteady, almost as if she gently supported him there.
The crow glared at her, several tis wanting to launch an attack.
But each ti it was stopped by a wave of Aiwass’s hand.
Feeling the intense surge of astonishing murderous intent, disgust, and hatred beside her, Emma’s smile grew even more radiant.
—You might really hate .
But as the queen of Avalon, can you really lay a hand on before I truly infringe on Avalon’s interests?
That might drag the whole of Avalon into the mire.
If it were Aiwass, perhaps he might be able to make such a decisive decision—he indeed is a very outstanding young man.
Outstanding enough to move Emma’s heart.
But Isabel is not like that.
Although she also received relevant intelligence that Isabel’s previous behavior was nothing but a disguise, Emma believed that even if it was a disguise, it sufficed to confirm that Isabel tended towards decisions of “doing nothing rash” and “bearing a heavy burden in silence.”
—What can you do even if you hate ?
Don’t you still have to bear with it?
If she really did move against Aiwass, it might even firm up Isabel’s resolve.
But she really hadn’t done anything, had she?
And this feeling made Emma even more pleased.
She held Aiwass’s hand, naturally bringing it to her chest, cushioning it under her breasts.
The Countess Emma smiled charmingly, saying gently, “You know as well, Aiwass…
Star Antimony harbors no hostility towards Avalon.
A long, long ti ago, we were one family.
“The founders of Avalon were knights who had co from the Helasal Empire.
You were Pioneer Knights who conquered new lands and punished the Giants that slaughtered humans….
The Empire is proud of you.
“And we Star Antimony are rely one faction of the Empire.
Now the Empire is only missing one final piece to be completely restored.
Once the Empire rises anew, Avalon will beco our strong ally—we will surely conquer the broader and richer lands to the east and south.
“In the past, Star Antimony’s desire to move against Avalon was solely because Avalon was situated on an important trade route—due to Avalon’s exclusion of foreign races, the ships of the Goblin Comrce Association had to take detours.
This raised costs.
Plus, Avalon imposed high tariffs on many of Star Antimony’s advanced products…
We had no choice but to defensively increase the tariffs on Avalon’s raw products.”
Emma whispered softly, while Aiwass said nothing.
Feeling her body so close, continuously breathing in her fragrance, perhaps Aiwass’s mind had already turned into mush.
Emma thought.
But that’s alright, she wasn’t really talking to Aiwass.
She was speaking to the bird perched on Aiwass’s shoulder—
In this room that seemingly held only a man and a woman together, there were actually three people!
She thought, feeling smug.
