My queen is rebelling!

The two of them woke up on the bed at the same time, looking at each other.

Then they saw their hands already tightly intertwined, fingers interlaced.

Meilansha's fair face quickly flushed red.

It wasn't until Bellmotti's voice, filled with surprise and joy, sounded from the side that she reluctantly withdrew her jade hand.

Cohen knew they must have a lot to talk about, so he silently got up and said:

"Lady Witch, if there's nothing else, shall I go out for some air first?"

Bellmotti looked at Cohen with a much gentler gaze, handed him a token, and said:

"Okay, you go to the top of the tower to rest first, you've worked hard."

Cohen nodded slightly and left alone.

After Cohen left, Bellmotti no longer concealed her emotions, hugging Meilansha tightly, and complaining incessantly:

"Little girl, why are you so disobedient? How can you take magic potions indiscriminately?

If you dare do it again, I won't spare you!"

Meilansha stuck out her tongue playfully and said:

"Okay, okay, didn't I break through successfully?"

Bellmotti still looked apprehensive, her voice filled with lingering fear:

"Thank goodness for this 'Lord of Shadows', otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do!"

A complex look flickered in Meilansha's eyes, the scenes that had happened in the "Realm of Truth" were still constantly impacting her heart.

The warm aura she felt when she was in a desperate situation, on the verge of despair, had been deeply imprinted in her heart.

She really didn't know how to face this mysterious man in the future.

Bellmotti noticed the emotions on Meilansha's face and said in a low voice:

"Did he see something in there that involved your secret background?

You don't have to worry.

I know a little about this person. Although he's a bit of a playboy, his character is still okay, and he won't break his promises.

You don't have to worry about your background secrets being leaked."

Meilansha's voice suddenly changed, and she asked:

"Is he very flirtatious?"

Bellmotti's expression froze, and she frowned as she replied:

"Don't you know?

He has an adventuring party under him, full of young and beautiful women.

Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

Meilansha's eyes flickered, and she said softly:

"I've been busy with the Black Tomb's affairs these days, and I haven't paid attention to the intelligence here.

Bellmotti said with a wry smile:

"It happened too fast at the time, your clothes were suddenly… but he turned away quickly, he shouldn't have seen anything."

Meilansha bit her lip and said:

"I don't blame him."

Bellmotti looked at Meilansha in surprise, not expecting this little girl to be so easy to work with.

She had originally thought that, with Meilansha's personality, she would definitely be relentless if a man saw her pure body, but she didn't expect her to be so easy to talk to.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a look of hesitation appeared in her eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, she said:

"Compared to this, there's another thing.

I haven't told you yet.

I originally thought that you and this 'Lord of Shadows' had no intersection, and I was afraid that telling you would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Now that you have had such contact, it might not be good to hide it from you anymore."

Meilansha suppressed her strange emotions, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked:

"What is it?"

Bellmotti sighed and told Meilansha about her sister Mephis's current relationship with Cohen, and what had happened between the two.

After listening to Bellmotti's narration, Meilansha's eyes widened.

She really couldn't understand why her always elegant and proud sister would form that kind of contract with a member of the opposite sex she hadn't even seen the real face of.

Meilansha couldn't help but ask:

"Did that man force sister?"

Bellmotti shook her head gently and said:

"No, it was Mephis's own choice.

You may not know it yet, but Mephis has already advanced to the half-step legend before you.

This is all thanks to that man."

Meilansha's mood became even more complicated and tangled, her sisters were actually so deeply entangled with the same man, she suddenly became at a loss.

Bellmotti warned:

"He doesn't know Mephis's true identity yet, and he doesn't know that you are sisters, so don't reveal any flaws in front of him."

Meilansha's beautiful eyes became blank and dull, and she nodded blankly.

After a long time, Meilansha recovered with her powerful psychological abilities.

Bellmotti saw that Meilansha was a little better, and then asked:

"After this time, are you going to prepare to return to the Northwest Continent?"

Speaking of serious matters, Meilansha returned to the image of the cold, calm female agent.

She came back this time to break through her level and increase her say in the "Black Tomb".

Meilansha restrained all her emotions, her eyebrows raised slightly, as if a cold light flashed, and she said in a deep voice:

"This time can also be considered a blessing in disguise. Although the process was dangerous, I finally broke through to the half-step legend.

With this strength, those who oppose my appointment in the "Black Tomb" headquarters will no longer say anything.

I will soon return to the Northwest Continent to be responsible for rebuilding the Northwest Branch of the "Black Tomb".

At the same time, prepare to cooperate with Xiazuo of the Eastern Region Empire to carry out actions against Effiein."

Hesitation flashed between Bellmotti's eyebrows, and she asked:

"The plan you told me before, the one to recruit Queen Effiein to the 'Lost Land', are you confident?"

Meilansha nodded confidently and said:

"Yes!

The reason why I must become the preparatory commissioner of the Northwest Branch of the 'Black Tomb' is so that I can seize that idiot king before them in the future.

As long as this king is in our hands, we are not afraid that Queen Effiein will not submit!"

Bellmotti finally chose to agree to the other party's plan, she also highly recognized Queen Effiein's talent and strength.

Rather than watching such a peerless queen perish with a crumbling country, it is better to recruit her to the "Mysterious Continent".

Even if the means used are not very glorious, I believe she can understand.

… …

Cohen stood in the top-floor hall of Bellmotti's wizard tower, admiring the murals on the walls of the hall with great interest.

He had no idea that the dangerous beauty he had just rescued had already set her sights on him.

Cohen heard footsteps, turned his head, and Meilansha was staring at him with a complicated gaze.

Cohen greeted him and said:

"It seems that the breath has stabilized a lot, congratulations to Miss Meilansha for breaking through to the half-step legend!"

Meilansha's eyes were like bottomless dark pools, the lines of her cheeks became inexplicably colder, and she said in a low voice:

"I heard from my sister that you saw my body and scribbled on me."

Cohen looked embarrassed, and before he could explain, Meilansha continued:

"But you did it to save me, I don't blame you.

But…"

Meilansha changed her tone, and her tone became much harsher:

"I heard from my sister that you are entangled with many women?

Is that true?"

Ah?

Cohen was very surprised, he didn't expect Meilansha to suddenly ask this.

He blinked and replied:

"Miss Meilansha, this seems to be my private matter."

Meilansha's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold aura suddenly emanated from her body.

The aura of a senior female agent who had risen to a high level in the "Black Tomb" made Cohen couldn't help but look at her sideways.

Cohen could clearly feel the chill in the other party's voice:

"Of course it matters, because I hate womanizing men!"

Cohen silently complained in his heart, I am a pure love party, I am 100% sincere to every woman, not womanizing.

He didn't know why Meilansha would suddenly care so much about his personal problems, wouldn't it be that he saved her once, and accidentally stole her heart.

I don't know if Mephis will beat him to death when she finds out.

Cohen scratched his head and said:

"Miss Meilansha, did you hear any rumors?"

Meilansha stared at Cohen's eyes, remained silent for a long time, and opened her red lips slightly:

"It's best to be a rumor."

She paused, turned her gaze away, and said in a low voice:

"Put your hand out."

Cohen was at a loss, not knowing what the other party was going to do, but given that Meilansha had just walked out of the edge of life and death, Cohen still followed her and stretched out his hand.

Meilansha quickly put something in Cohen's hand and said in a low voice:

"Keep it safe, if you dare to lose it, you can wait for the end!"

After saying that, she turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Cohen frowned slightly, looked at the delicate lady's dagger lying in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

What does it mean for a beautiful girl to give you a knife?

If you dare to be a playboy, will you stab yourself?

Not far away, Bellmotti, who had just entered, stopped, looked at the dagger in Cohen's hand, the mist on her face dissipated a lot, and she showed those charming eyes again.

Cohen clearly saw a murderous look in Bellmotti's eyes.

The mist re-shrouded, and Bellmotti's cold voice sounded:

"Don't let anyone see this dagger, understand?"

What Bellmotti was most worried about now was that Mephis would see this dagger in Cohen's hand.

She really wanted to kick this bastard out now.

What exactly happened between this kid and Meilansha in the "Realm of Truth"!

She hasn't controlled Mephis yet, and now…

The Lord of Sequences now has a kind of unspeakable frustration and resentment in her heart.

The two most important people in her life are about to fall into the hands of the same man, how can she accept this?

Cohen clearly felt that Bellmotti was in a rage, the "Eternal Heart" beat, and he took back the dagger.

But he couldn't help but ask:

"What does Miss Meilansha mean by giving me a dagger?"

Bellmotti looked at Cohen as if he were trash, and said coldly:

"Go ask her yourself!

I'm not seeing you off!"

Cohen roughly guessed the meaning of the dagger, and understood Bellmotti's mood, so he didn't say any more, and consciously retreated.

… …

In the cabin of Planck's airship, Cohen played with the dagger Meilansha gave him and fell into deep thought.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to test Bellmotti and side-inquire about who the "salesman" she had placed in the high-level of the "Black Tomb" was.

He didn't expect this to happen, and he was too embarrassed to ask.

But it doesn't matter, when he returns to Effiein, he will always have the opportunity to meet that "salesman", and then secretly investigate his identity.

As soon as he thought that he was about to return to Effiein and see the queen sister he had been thinking about day and night, Cohen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Planck's airship was very fast, and in less than half a day, it had already arrived at the City of Endless.

After returning to the City of Endless, Cohen briefly told the girls about the complete opening of cooperation and close alliance with the "Mysterious Continent."

Then, he was going to take Asuna and Nefertis back to Florence.

Cohen said:

"After we leave, Windsor-Dealer will be responsible for all the big and small affairs of the alliance. If there are any emergencies, contact me at any time.

With the 'Book of Time and Space,' I can rush back at any time."

"In addition, Your Highness the Princess, I will leave the matter of the dwarves to you.

After the 'Forging Tribe' finishes forging the 'Star Guardian Armor,' you will be responsible for secretly transporting it back through our logistics lines."

The two responded.

Windsor-Dealer moved her lips and whispered:

"Don't be reckless over there, be careful in everything."

Cohen held Windsor-Dealer's hand and replied softly:

"Okay, I'll have to trouble you with the things here in the future."

Windsor-Dealer struggled slightly a few times and then stopped moving, a trace of red appearing on her pointed ears.

Grace watched with great interest from the side.

Looking at the tenderness on Windsor-Dealer's face, she thought maliciously, 'When you know the true identity of your sweetheart, I'm afraid you won't be so calm!'

I really can't wait to see that scene!

Grace slightly licked her red lips, her eyes full of anticipation.

After finishing the instructions, Cohen took out the "Book of Time and Space" and first imprinted the space node here on it.

Then, he opened the page with the imprint of the Emerald Lake villa and, amidst the complex gazes of several people, left the "Lost Land," where he had struggled for more than half a year, with Nefertis and Asuna.

… …

Emerald Lake Villa.

Phew!

Finally back!

Cohen looked at the familiar scene in front of him, took off his mask, and revealed his handsome, young face.

Nefertis sighed softly and said:

"Sir, this face is much better-looking than that strange mask."

Asuna next to her walked directly to Cohen in a few steps and reached out to pinch Cohen's face.

The Dragonborn lady returned to her nature as soon as she left the "Lost Land."

Cohen grabbed Asuna's hand and said:

"Miss Iliat, I think you are more charming when you are wearing a business suit and being serious."

Asuna raised her eyebrows and snorted twice:

"My dear Majesty, would you like me to tell the Queen what you have been doing during this time?"

Cohen patted Asuna's jade-like buttocks lightly and said:

"No respect, dare to threaten your king? Be careful I make things difficult for you!"

Asuna's face flushed immediately, and she gave Cohen a reproachful look.

Soon, a familiar voice came from outside the villa:

"Is His Majesty back?"

Cohen replied loudly:

"Uncle, it's me."

Prince Hogg pushed the door open and was startled when he discovered Cohen's aura, saying:

"Has Your Majesty almost reached the Fifth Rank?"

Cohen said with a smile:

"It's okay, Uncle has worked hard during this time."

Prince Hogg shook his head and said:

"Nothing major has happened recently. I guess those people are waiting for the Northwest Region Exchange Meeting in a few months.

We don't have much time left."

Cohen replied confidently:

"Uncle, don't worry, my development in the 'Lost Land' is very smooth.

The divine and demonic equipment 'Star Guardian Armor' is being forged and is expected to be equipped in the troops in three months.

There is also the Orc Legion. I have already assembled 20,000 of them, and by then there will be 20,000 'Elite' troops."

Hearing Cohen's words, Prince Hogg couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

20,000 "Elite" troops?

In less than a year, Cohen had actually developed an army comparable to that of an ordinary kingdom. Prince Hogg really couldn't believe it.

Prince Hogg suppressed his surprise and said in a deep voice:

"By the way, Herman is still the same, inseparable from Baron Gore every day. I didn't dare to contact him rashly either.

But it is certain that he has been subjected to some kind of soul contract or curse and cannot transmit messages to the outside world.

The 'Fear Demon' you sent to his side only listens to your orders. He should know something."

Cohen nodded slightly and said:

"Okay, I understand. I'll go and see the situation tomorrow.

In addition, I already have some speculation about the forces behind the Dupont family."

Prince Hogg frowned slightly. He originally thought that Cohen would immediately solve this matter after he came back. After all, they still knew nothing about what the Dupont family was planning, and they had to contact Herman as soon as possible.

He asked:

"Does Your Majesty have anything else to do today?"

Cohen looked at Prince Hogg with a strange expression and said:

"Yes, to see the Queen.

I've been away from home for so long, and it's not easy to come back, so of course I'm going to see the Queen."

Prince Hogg's expression froze, and he asked:

"What about Herman…"

Cohen waved his hand and said:

"It's not urgent for a day or two. Let's go, Uncle, send us to the palace."

"Us?"

Prince Hogg looked at Asuna and Nefertis and asked:

"Are these two ladies also going to the palace?"

Prince Hogg thought to himself, 'Has this kid been drifting for a few months outside?'

Doesn't he know who is in charge of Effie now?

Dare to bring your confidantes into the palace, do you really think Adele is reluctant to beat you!

Cohen looked like it was a matter of course and said:

"Yes, I brought them back to let them gradually enter the core of Effie's power so that they can help me in the future.

Don't underestimate them. They have been fully trained in the 'Lost Land' and are fully capable of handling my arrangements."

Prince Hogg said with a frown:

"How are you going to introduce these two beautiful ladies to your good queen?"

Cohen pointed to Asuna and said:

"She's easy to explain. The Queen has met her before. Didn't you say she was a good friend of your nephew?

Just introduce her like that.

Uncle can say that your nephew hopes to find her a job in the palace, wouldn't that be fine?"

Prince Hogg stared at Cohen and asked:

"If the Queen insists on asking which nephew it is, do I have to expose His Majesty?"

Cohen waved his hand and said:

"No need. When the time comes, let Asuna show a little bit of her talent, and the Queen will naturally not ask so much."

A young female knight who can control a dragon, as long as her background is clean, the Queen sister won't care about so many private matters.

Prince Hogg nodded and said:

"Okay, then what about this one?

Many people in Florence know that Miss Nefertis is from the 'Lord of Shadows'."

Cohen said directly:

"Just say she was sent by the 'Lord of Shadows' to be my liaison with him.

Doesn't the Queen also want me to interact more with the 'Lord of Shadows'?"

Prince Hogg really admired Cohen's mind and was silent for a long time before saying:

"I thought Your Majesty was cultivating fast enough, but now it seems like it's not enough yet?"

Cohen scratched his head and asked:

"What's not enough?"

Prince Hogg said in a calm tone:

"With your current cultivation, I'm afraid that when Adele finds out the truth in the future, you won't even have a chance to resist when she cleans you up!"

Cohen was immediately covered in black lines and snorted coldly:

"Rebellion, a mere queen, does she dare to rebel?"

… …

After Cohen entered the palace, he asked the female official who saluted him about the Queen's location.

When he learned that the Queen did not attend court today and had been staying in her bedroom, he did not call the maids to serve him and came to the front of the Queen's bedroom with ease.

He took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door when his eyes blurred and his whole person disappeared instantly.

When he opened his eyes again, he had already entered the bedroom, and a stunningly beautiful face that was breathtaking came into view—

Adele leaned against the bedside, her appearance dignified, sitting with her jade legs crossed, and her slightly exposed skin was dazzlingly white.

Her slender waist was straight, and her two large contours were extremely eye-catching.

Her soft long hair was scattered on the bed, dignified and beautiful like a beautiful painting, making people feel no blasphemy at all.

Adele slightly curled her red lips, stepped barefoot on the soft wool carpet, and walked towards Cohen, a hint of surprise in her eyes:

"Has Your Majesty actually reached Silver?"

Cohen did not answer the Queen's question, but rushed forward and threw himself into Adele's arms, gently smelling the fragrance on the Queen's sister's body, and said with some emotion:

"Sister, long time no see!

I miss you so much…"

Adele felt the long-lost aura of the man and was also a little dazed.

She could feel Cohen's surging and uncontrollable emotions. For a time, Adele actually had the urge to shed tears.

Since Cohen ascended the throne, for him, for the Corleone royal family, Adele has been overwhelmed by busy government affairs and enormous pressure, losing the freedom and youth that a young woman should have.

At the same time, she also had to endure the doubts of the courtiers and the scolding of the people—what a hen crowing at dawn, a demon queen disturbing politics, a she-wolf of the Angrian family…

Adele didn't care about these things. She was the "Strongest Silver" at twenty!

A powerful transcendent who could step into legend before the age of thirty!

A stunning woman that even the Empress of the Central Empire had to admit defeat to!

A few idle words could not defeat her will and pride.

But she could not tolerate the betrayal and distrust from the closest people—the cold war between Cohen and her for many years had long overwhelmed her heart, riddled with holes.

From the time Cohen was born, Adele had been spending time with him day and night.

It is no exaggeration to say that Cohen was the person she had spent the most time with and had the closest relationship with in her life.

She could not accept that this little brother and little man, whom she had watched grow up, given countless care, love, and affection to, had such distrust in her.

She sometimes really wanted to question him:

In your eyes, is the decade-long relationship between us not as good as a precarious and meaningless crown!

In your heart, am I the kind of woman who covets power?

In order to avoid this, Adele completely froze her heart. If Cohen hadn't accidentally lost his memory, she estimated that she wouldn't be far from becoming an emotionless ice sculpture.

Feeling Cohen's heartfelt love in her arms, Adele seemed to have returned to the beginning, being able to get the support of the closest person, everything she did had meaning!
