"Aiwass is gone."
Isabel watched Aiwass riding Leviathan alone into the yellow sands and said softly, "When will he come back..."
"Why, are you concerned about him?"
Sherlock said softly from behind her, "I would say it's completely unnecessary, Isabel."
Since Isabel stepped down from the queen's throne, he gradually stopped calling her "Your Majesty the Queen."
For both sides, this was actually a kind of relief—Isabel never wanted to be the queen unless it was absolutely necessary, and Avalon required her to take on the burden. In her understanding, she felt very distant from the term "Princess."
And for Sherlock... the only person he respectfully called "Your Majesty the Queen" was Isabel's grandmother, the old Queen Sofia of Avalon.
Now, calling her by her name and omitting the formal title, treating her like a junior, was precisely proof of his growing familiarity with the Aiwass couple.
