Seeing Aiwass fall into a rare state of confusion, Isabel's attitude suddenly became determined, as if she were filled with courage, "She is experienced and knowledgeable, she might know what to do. If there is indeed a problem, it should be dealt with as soon as possible."
After saying that, Isabel took hold of Aiwass's wrist and pulled him toward the queen's chamber.
"There's no need to panic, Isabel... she might not know how to handle my problem,"
Aiwass didn't resist Isabel.
He simply followed, retorting subconsciously, "Besides, whether it is Dedication or Transcendence, I am me—maybe after my next advancement on the Path of Devotion, I'll realign...
"...But I do indeed need to see Ligeia. However, that's a separate issue, related to some unfavorable rumors about me."
He caught himself halfway, realizing he was sounding somewhat stubborn like a child, so he smoothly shifted the conversation to another important matter.
