Chapter 296: Chapter 212 Iris Flower: Why Did You Suddenly Fight Back?_2 Chapter 296: Chapter 212 Iris Flower: Why Did You Suddenly Fight Back?_2 How wonderful, Aiwass sighed.

Perhaps the only miscalculation Her Majesty made was pressuring Isabel into becoming a recluse.

After all, she often snuck out to watch plays while still in her teens, disguised herself as a college girl to wander around the university while she was still in high school, and could easily socialize with a world-famous painter she met for the first time, to the point where Yanis actively offered to paint for her...

It might be indeed hard to understand why Isabel became reclusive so easily.

“Perhaps from the beginning, Princess Isabel was the most suitable person to inherit Your Majesty’s governing philosophy.”

Sherlock answered affirmatively, “Now, Avalon urgently needs to open up and accept Transcendents from other Paths.

“Her Majesty has faced resistance to reform and has done everything she could.

She is a very outstanding and exceptional monarch, but she still lacks time.

...

“By my calculations, it will take at least another generation to truly see the results of the reforms and for Avalon’s technology to catch up to international levels.

If we choose to stop or even regress at this time, we’ll miss the final window of opportunity.”

“Indeed.”

Aiwass nodded, surprised by Sherlock’s acuteness.

Once the Narcissus Duchy becomes independent...@@@@

That technocratic state entirely governed by Mages, with a hundred years of technological accumulation, is about to flex its muscles.

And once Star Antimony dissolves, the Demon Scholar, Alchemist, and Necromancer, these three remarkable brothers without checks on each other, will also fully come into play.

Queen Sofia did not foresee the Fallen Celestial Marshal’s incident, but her political insight easily penetrated the instability of the Narcissus Duchy and the internal crisis within Star Antimony.

— In such a situation, any monarch who cannot firmly withstand political resistance from all sides to continue the reforms at the fastest speed, is actually diminishing Avalon’s last hope.

But Sofia could only trust Isabel.

Because any other heir could betray her, but Isabel could not.

After all, Isabel herself was a holder of an illicit Path.

Controlled by the Iris Kingdom, which held most of the Transcendent knowledge and could spy covertly using “Artistic Vision” and even teleport with ease, the Path of Beauty was undoubtedly restricted in Avalon.

Avalon, which had been under pressure, suddenly started to fight back, completely ignoring the true attackers from Star Antimony, but instead lashing out with full force at Iris Kingdom who had been surreptitiously stirring trouble—leaving both Star Antimony and Iris Kingdom at a loss.

This was the first suggestion Aiwass made to the queen after assuming the role of Minister of the Department of Care of Magical Creatures.

—It was like a one-on-one fight on the road; if your jungler comes to help, I can switch targets, so I’ll first kill the one coming to assist.

Star Antimony and Iris Kingdom were also enemies.

They were happy to see this situation unfold.

Star Antimony, already in chaos internally, saw Avalon suddenly fighting with Iris Kingdom...

In order not to draw the fire upon themselves, they simply scaled back their operations and kept the nails within Avalon in a dormant state.

They planned to just watch Avalon and Iris Kingdom duke it out.

They even planned to add some fuel to the fire, to make the fight even more intense.

Little did they know, this was all a play staged by the queen.

As a result, Avalon was given breathing space.

Because their assistance from Star Antimony was cut off, the Noble Red Society, under the scrutiny of the Eye of Avalon as well as the strikes from the regular army, directly lost the ability to disrupt Glass Island.

This operation was named “Bear Hunt.” Ostensibly it was to “eradicate the illegal Transcendent organization that intended to subvert the rule of Avalon, and had launched multiple massacres against the innocent villagers”, not even a single word was mentioned about the support from Star Antimony.

Since the fire had not spread to them, the people of Star Antimony also did not agree with helping Noble Red at this time.

So, just three days into the operation, thirty strongholds of Noble Red were destroyed by the thunder brought by the Gryphons.

And Queen Sofia accepted an interview with “Glass Staircase Daily.”

She did not indicate that this was her long-prepared counterattack.

Instead, she played dumb, claiming that these actions all came from the substantial suggestions of the new “Minister of Care of Magical Creatures,” and she was “quite surprised” by it.

But as for his true identity, Her Majesty respected the personal wishes of the Minister and chose to keep it confidential.

For a time, all of Avalon was caught up in curiosity and speculation about this Minister.

“—So, Aiwass.”

After praising the queen’s wisdom, Sherlock pointed to the newspaper and asked: “Who do you think this Minister is?”
