Chapter 76: Refusal

– Clatter, clatter…

Contained in the carriage rattling ahead to an unknown vacation spot, Jane Moriarty, hand quietly resting on her chin, was misplaced in deep thought.

“… It might be higher so that you can not open the window.”

When she reached out to the window, sealed with boards and nails, the deep voice of the coachman echoed out from the entrance.

“The place we’re heading to is likely one of the secret rendezvous factors of the royal household. Naturally, it’s a state secret, so if by any likelihood you discover out…”

“I don’t must look out of the window to know that we’re heading to the Western areas of London.”

Nonetheless, Professor Moriarty, not caring a bit about his threatening comment, replied with a gleam in her eyes.

“To be extra exact, we’re most likely heading in the direction of Windsor, the royal residential space. However let’s fake that I didn’t say something relating to that.”

“……….”

“I’m not curious in regards to the vacation spot, I simply wish to breathe some contemporary air. It’s congested in right here.”

Saying so, she concentrated mana on the tip of her fingers and touched the board… immediately, a small gap was carved.

“Significantly better now.”

Leaning her head subsequent to the outlet, Professor Moriarty flashed a broad smile.

“You’ll be able to see the Windsor Fortress fairly clearly from right here.”

Nonetheless, when the coachman didn’t react any additional, her gaze, now bored and boring, turned to the facet.

“Hmm.”

Instantly, her eyes narrowed sharply.

“”……….””

Charlotte, who had not slept for 4 days to control Moriarty, and Adler, who had been harassed by the thief all day, have been quick asleep, their heads touching as they leaned towards one another.

– Swoosh…

Observing them for some time, she quietly reached out her hand and pushed Charlotte’s head towards the other window.

“………”

Gently, the professor then proceeded to lean Adler’s head on her shoulder as an alternative; she couldn’t assist however chuckle and murmur to herself as she watched Adler’s sleeping determine.

‘… What am I even doing proper now?’

Leaning again in her seat, feeling her power draining away, she recalled the reminiscence of the Reigate incident that occurred just a few weeks prior.

Again then, she had been the one asleep, though she was simply pretending to be, whereas Charlotte and Adler have been awake.

Furthermore, till that very immediate, she had the higher hand on this recreation of theirs.

However now, the whole lot had someway flipped and reversed.

The one awake was her, and the sport was in Charlotte Holmes’ palms, not hers.

The exact same Charlotte Holmes who, up till just a few days in the past, she had scoffed for being a toddler and an beginner.

‘… What did you notice from that incident?’

The professor – coldly looking at Charlotte as she pouted, eyes furrowed, sensing the disappearance of Adler’s heat – murmured to herself.

‘What modified you to this extent?’

In fact, the professor knew the reply all alongside.

Beneath Charlotte’s closed and furrowed eyes, her pupils have been completely dyed within the golden hues of Adler.

And reciprocating to her personal, Isaac Adler’s pupils have been dyed within the black hues of Charlotte, not the gray hues of her personal.

And that… was the elemental motive why Charlotte was now overwhelming her on this recreation of theirs.

“So, you’ve lastly fallen for her, huh?”

Moriarty, who had been quietly feeling Adler’s heat as he leaned towards her shoulder, murmured with a barely melancholic expression.

“So, the pawn wasn’t her, however me all alongside…”

It was alleged to be a easy remark, a recreation, for her amusement…

From the start, he was merely a stand-in for the sugar she consumed.

Adler wasn’t the one one who had the precise to finish this relationship— maybe probably the most peculiar relationship within the historical past of London.

She too, if she wished, may finish this little recreation of theirs at any second.

“………..”

She was sure of this truth.

Then why? Why was this unusual feeling, the likes of which she had by no means felt earlier than in her life, taking management of her physique and thoughts from her for some time now? Why was this occurring to her?

– Lick…

“……….?”

The eyes of the professor, downcast in silent contemplation of her weird circumstance, widened on the ticklish sensation she abruptly felt from her hand.

“Mr. Adler.”

Isaac Adler, who had seemingly awoken from his sleep, was licking her hand together with his eyes tightly closed.

“You’re not a pet… What are you doing?”

The professor, watching his antics with extensive eyes, seen the blood dripping from her hand; she couldn’t assist however leak out a bitter snort as soon as extra.

“… Mr. Adler?”

A brief state as her eyes quickly narrowed into skinny slits.

– Lick…

Adler’s face, as he devotedly licked the blood from her hand and even sunk his enamel into it, appeared considerably pale and sickly.

“Are you feeling sick?”

The professor, tilting her head at his irregular habits of ingesting blood as if he had misplaced his sanity, requested that query, her eyes nonetheless narrowed.

“… Hmm.”

However when her assistant didn’t reply, the professor, her head nonetheless tilted, cautiously prolonged her different hand towards him.

“Hah.”

“………!”

Within the subsequent second, she swiftly snatched Adler’s protruding tail and began sucking the tip along with her mouth.

“You’ll be able to go inside now.”

Maybe overwhelmed by such an environment, the guard bowed his head earlier than pointing towards the door of the constructing.

“If something occurs, run out. Don’t needlessly endure it.”

“Don’t fear about me.”

After taking a slight deep breath, I turned the doorknob and cautiously stepped inside.

“… Hmm.”

Instantly, I may see an enormous veil on the heart of the room.

“Ought to I sit right here?”

“… Sure.”

As I approached the chair positioned in entrance of the veil, asking the blurry silhouette past the curtain, a faint voice replied.

“Who’re you?”

“You’ll be able to consider me because the consultant of the best authority in England.”

Once I requested one other query – discovering no peculiarities, unable to sense any magical interference within the voice, and unable to find out whether or not it was even actual or not – the anticipated reply got here again from past the veil.

“And for what objective would such a excessive and mighty particular person summon me in such secrecy?”

Feeling my mouth drying up, I requested the being past the veil in a faint voice.

“I wished to satisfy you.”

“Me?”

“I’ve been fairly a bit considering your actions since a very long time in the past.”

I strained my ears to hear, however all I may determine from the voice of the being past the veil was that it was surprisingly distant, as if her thoughts was reminiscing one thing as she spoke.

“So I requested Her Majesty the Queen herself.”

“… I see.”

And from the data I had simply gathered, it was suffice to say that the particular person in entrance of me was royalty on the very least.

In any other case, it wouldn’t make sense as there are solely a handful of people that may ask for such a favor from the Queen and have it granted.

Maybe it was somebody with appreciable energy among the many royalty, near the precise of succession?

Nonetheless, it appeared unlikely that such an individual would name me so secretly simply to satisfy with me like this.

“Then, we could reduce to the chase?”

As I quietly tilted my head, the determine behind the veil barely leaned ahead and commenced to whisper to me.

“I’ve a proposal for you.”

As I stared quietly on the entity, who seemingly had one thing she wished from me, a candy voice echoed in my ear.

“Please take away Professor Jane Moriarty.”

“Do you imply my supervising professor?”

“Within the identify of the royal household, I’m entrusting you with this secret request.”

As I learn the message that appeared earlier than my eyes on the similar time, I couldn’t assist however notice what was occurring.

Ending 10

The Fallen Kingdom

Proper now, I used to be standing at a vital crossroads.

“In reality, it’s higher to name it an order quite than a request.”

“……….”

“You may have been appointed within the identify of Her Majesty the Queen. Subsequently, think about it an honor.”

In fact, there was just one reply I may give to her.

“I’m sorry, however I solely serve one queen.”

It was too late for me to play the position of an apostle of justice, having crossed too many uncrossable strains already.

“Go to hell, Princess.”

I had grown too keen on Professor Moriarty, who was most likely bobbing her head backward and forward with a lonely expression within the carriage by now.

“You’re fairly amusing, you.”

A chilly chill started to seep from behind the veil, however I had no regrets.

In the meantime, at that second…

“Apologies ma’am, however received’t you be getting off?”

The coachman, who had descended from the driving force’s seat, opened the door of the carriage and tilted his head as he requested the query.

“……….”

Then, there appeared Professor Moriarty, carrying a distraught expression in contrast to her standard self.

“I can’t perceive you, though I believed I did.”

Her eyes, which have been quietly flicking backward and forward, maybe in response to somebody’s phrases, shone golden for an immediate, illuminated by the daylight rolling in by means of the open door of the carriage.

“To serve just one queen, isn’t that too infantile of a line.”

The faintest hints of a blush on her cheeks have been only a bonus.
