Whether it was the "Beauty" Mahid Fran or the "Hero" Ismael...
Aiwass did not wish to stand on either side.
He saw clearly... Although Mahid Fran seemed to be protecting Aiwass, the two of them, in reality, did not respect anyone else at all—whether it was the servants ordered to touch the Petrification Barrier, or Aiwass himself as an outsider among the Benevolent Lords... or even each other.
Just because Ismael did not obey her words, Mahid Fran was angered and lost her composure, arguing with another Benevolent Lord on the street. Because she had become completely accustomed to an environment where her word was law, and upon realizing the situation was otherwise, she immediately lost her graceful demeanor.
And Ismael never valued Mahid Fran.
He continually sent servants to touch the barrier, which was obviously dangerous at a glance, perhaps because Mahid Fran was preventing him?
