My queen is rebelling!

（Thank you to Headmaster "Little Lee Lee" for the reward of 20,000 coins, and a bonus of 120,000 words for the boss!）

The two of them looked at Cohen in surprise at the same time.

Cohen briefly narrated to them about his recent trip to the Kingdom of Ceylon with the [Intelligence Officer] Mephis, and taking the opportunity to control several generals under the command of the Third Prince Saxon.

Prince Haug revealed a look of astonishment and said:

“An extraordinary being who can control people and turn them into puppets?

Such a powerful extraordinary person is indeed a bit terrifying.”

Cohen replied in a deep voice:

“Although the process of Sequence users advancing is fraught with dangers, once they get through it, the extraordinary abilities they bring are indeed not to be underestimated.

Although these generals cannot completely control the army of the Kingdom of Ceylon, as long as we can obtain their intelligence and ambush them on their inevitable route, their thousand elite troops will not pose any obstacle to us.

As for Prince Shazo's forces, leave them to the Golden Wing Family to deal with.

Of course, there is also the Black Tomb colluding with Shazo, but there is no need to worry about this either. The Northwest Continent branch of the 'Black Tomb' was completely wiped out last time.

It should still be under reconstruction at the moment. I already have a plan regarding this.”

Cohen paused for a moment, a thought flashing through his mind. Perhaps it was time to find an opportunity to contact the "salesman" of the Black Tomb to see what his relationship with the "Lord of Sequences" really was.

If he could be pulled in, dealing with the “Black Tomb” would be easy.

Cohen continued:

“Our current focus is still on Heisenberg in the Central Empire.

How are they planning to make their move?”

After Cohen finished speaking, he looked at Herman.

Until three hundred years ago, they launched a rebellion in the southern border of Effie, capturing several cities in a row.

The DuPont family rose to prominence during the Goblin Alliance suppression war three hundred years ago.

Herman's voice continued:

“The DuPont family has been in contact with the Goblin Alliance for a long time.

Or rather, the DuPont family left many backhands in the Goblin Alliance from the end of the suppression war three hundred years ago.

Although this family does not have much power, they are extremely scheming and deep, and they always have the habit of leaving a backup plan for everything they do.

Their plan is like this: to arm the Goblin Alliance with materials, money, weapons, and equipment provided by the Central Empire.

This matter has been going on for three years, and the Goblin Alliance has now armed at least a 10,000-strong 'Regular' army!”

Hearing this number, Cohen and Prince Haug were both very surprised.

A race that was already on the verge of collapse had actually developed a 10,000-strong “Regular” army right under Effie's nose.

You must know that even the entire “Regular” army of Effie is only a mere hundred thousand, and they are distributed throughout the country.

There are only 30,000 standing "Regular" troops in the capital, and the rest are some "Basic" troops.

The most deadly thing is that the “Goblin Alliance” is not far from Florence, and once the southern border's defense is unfavorable, or simply gives up resistance, then this 10,000-strong “Regular” army can drive straight in and raid the capital Florence in just three days of forced march.

In the future turmoil, this 10,000 suddenly appearing “Regular” army will definitely become the last straw that breaks Florence's back.

Cohen felt that the possibility of the southern border giving up resistance was very high, and he even guessed that someone from the DuPont family had already gone to the Southern Duke to mediate.

The interests of their two families are aligned.

Prince Haug revealed a frosty expression, snorted coldly, and said:

“Such wild ambitions! After this is over, I will leave no one from the entire DuPont family alive!”

Cohen continued to ask:

“Besides providing materials, money, weapons, and equipment, does the Central Empire have any other actions?

Just creating a 10,000-strong ‘Regular’ army is not worthy of its title as the number one power on the continent.”

Herman nodded with a solemn expression:

“That's right, these are just the surface, they also have deeper killing moves hidden.”

Speaking of this, Herman paused for a moment, glanced at Cohen's calm face, and said in a low voice:

“They plan to take advantage of the chaos to raid the palace… and kidnap Her Majesty the Queen!”

As soon as the words fell, Prince Haug and Herman both felt an astonishing killing intent emanating from Cohen.

The entire air became solidified because of this. The corners of Cohen's mouth curled up slightly, but there was not a trace of a smile, only terrifying ice-coldness.

His voice was filled with undisguised killing intent:

“Good, good, good, good, what a Heisenberg Chief!

He has more guts than Shazo Tang!”

Herman's expression became serious, he could feel the monstrous anger under Cohen's calm face.

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

“Do you know why?”

Herman shook his head and said:

“Even the DuPont family and Gore expressed their incomprehension about this.

Even at the beginning, the entire plan was aimed at Her Majesty the Queen. The DuPont family and Gore were just the executors of this plan.

As for what benefits the DuPont family and Gore want to seize in the chaos, that is their own little calculation.”

Cohen also thought of Grace's reminder. Could it be that they were really aiming for the speculation related to the gods on the Queen's sister?

“How are they planning to act?”

Herman breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

“They have contacted the 'Bound Church'.

Currently, the core members of the 'Bound Church' have been disguised as prisoners and secretly transferred to several high-security prisons in the Eastern Suburb Prison.

Their plan is that once the capital falls into turmoil, there will inevitably be a situation of insufficient military strength and a lack of soldiers.

At this time, a high-ranking Effie figure will suggest to the Queen and the Cabinet to release the felons to serve as suicide squads.

According to them, this high-ranking figure's suggestion is very likely to be approved by the Queen and the Cabinet.

This army of prisoners will first help the royal family consolidate its defenses and lurk secretly.

Until… until the Effie royal family loses power, they will suddenly erupt and attack Her Majesty the Queen.

This is also the reason why the DuPont family wants to win over Grand Judge Gore.

Replacing the felons in the Eastern Suburb Prison requires the authority of the Grand Judge.”

Before Cohen could express his position, Prince Haug couldn't help but become angry. His expression became grim and cold:

“I am really curious, which high-ranking figure is so confident that he can persuade the Queen and the Cabinet to act according to his suggestion!”

Cohen could feel the anger in Prince Haug's heart.

Because those who can do this must be highly respected figures in the Corleone royal family!

No matter who it is, it is enough to make this most loyal prince of the Corleone royal family feel chilled and unacceptable.

The betrayal of blood relatives often brings the most serious consequences.

Cohen waved his hand slightly, appeasing Prince Haug, and then showed a pensive look, seriously thinking about the information provided by Herman.

“Bound Church”, Cohen immediately thought of the contestant who was controlled by the sorcerer and self-destructed in the extraordinary arena.

That sorcerer claimed to have signed a book contract with the Bound God.

The Bound God is a weak divine power god. He is not at the front of the god system, and the "Bound Church" is not considered a very powerful church.

The strongest is only their Pope, a legendary high-level sorcerer.

Relying on a legendary high-level person to kidnap the Queen from the palace is absolutely wishful thinking.

Heisenberg of the Central Empire must have a backhand, a backhand that even the DuPont family and Grand Judge Gore don't know about.

Saint, it can only be a Saint.

Heisenberg definitely has a Saint-level extraordinary person ambushing.

Is the Five Nations Joint Meeting's ban on "Saints not being able to go out lightly" really just a waste of paper for them?

No, Saints can take action, but they absolutely dare not kidnap a reigning queen of a human kingdom, defying the world!

Targeting the head of state, this is intolerable to all countries on the continent.

Today, a Saint kidnaps the queen of a duchy, and everyone can ignore it.

Then tomorrow, what if they kidnap the queen of a kingdom?

The day after tomorrow, what if they simply kidnap a king?

Once Pandora's box is opened, who knows what will happen?

Which family doesn't have a few Saints? If everyone is like this, wanting to deal with which country, they first carry out a "beheading operation" against the head of state, the entire continent will be in chaos before long.

Therefore, not directly attacking the rulers of the country is a tacit rule on the continent.

This tacit rule is more useful than the constraints of the Five Nations Joint Meeting.

The things in the world are so ridiculous and absurd. The agreement signed in black and white can be torn up at will, but the unspoken rules hidden under the surface must be observed by everyone.

No wonder they have to wait until the royal family loses its power before taking action. The pressure to target a queen of a country and targeting an ordinary person is completely different.

Cohen took a deep breath, his face returning to calm.

As long as you know the opponent, then even the most powerful opponent has flaws to find.

One or two Saints, that's all. There is no reason why he was able to design for the two Saints of the "Black Tomb" to flee in panic a year and a half ago when he had just entered the extraordinary.

Now that he has such a huge trace of power, he is afraid of these one or two Saints.

A strong killing intent flashed in Cohen's eyes.

A punch to avoid a hundred punches!

In order to eliminate endless troubles in the future.

He decided to cooperate with the other party and continue this play. He wanted to fish out those few Saints from the Central Empire.

The last time the two Saints of the Black Tomb ran away, he felt quite regretful, but this time, he must make sure that there is a… Temple collapse in Florence!

Cohen had a plan in mind and began to arrange:

“Herman, you continue as usual. Whatever they ask you to do, you do.

Just report the movements at any time, especially pay attention to the people of the Central Empire. Once that Samuel Jones appears, you must report to me immediately.”

Herman nodded with a serious expression.

Prince Haug asked:

“What do you need me to do?

Do you want to secretly investigate the traitor lurking in the royal family first?”

Cohen thought for a moment and shook his head:

“Not for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.”

"Uncle Wang, please focus on the construction and preparation of the Military Intelligence Service. In the next two days, secretly cooperate with Earl Middleton to build the general framework of the Military Intelligence Service and strive to get it running as soon as possible."

Prince Hauge saw that Cohen already had an idea, so he didn't insist anymore.

Hermann, who was on the side, suddenly thought of something at this time, and quickly said:

"By the way, a few days ago, when I was discussing things with Theodore DuPont, the third brother of Viscount DuPont, I accidentally learned a secret message about... about Miss Nephthys by His Majesty's side."

Cohen's heart moved slightly, Nephthys?

He frowned and asked:

"What's wrong with Nephthys?"

Hermann lowered his voice and asked uncertainly:

"Your Majesty, may I ask presumptuously, is Miss Nephthys surnamed Robben..."

Cohen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that the DuPont family has already known Nephthys's true identity?"

Seeing Cohen's answer, Hermann suppressed the surprise in his heart and replied in a deep voice:

"Then it seems that the information I got is correct. Miss Nephthys is really the orphan of the 'Night Rose' family?"

Cohen had already told Prince Hauge about this matter, so he was not surprised.

The DuPont family actually knew Nephthys's true identity long ago?

Cohen was quite surprised. He quickly thought that the reason why the DuPont family wanted Nephthys to make a marriage contract with Boggs was probably because of Nephthys's identity as the orphan of the Night Rose family.

Family treasure!

Speaking of the Night Rose family's treasure, Cohen really forgot if Hermann hadn't mentioned it.

He had promised Nephthys at the time that after the other party gained his trust, he would take her to find the key to open their family's secret treasure—[Black Rose Key].

Nephthys said at the time that this was the key to the revival of the Night Rose and was really important to her.

As a result, he forgot all about it because he was so busy. Nephthys was also afraid of affecting Cohen's major affairs, so she never took the initiative to mention it again.

This little girl is really...

Cohen suppressed the thoughts in his heart and asked:

"What does the DuPont family plan to do with Nephthys's identity?"

Hermann said:

"I heard that the Night Rose family left a huge treasure in the secret land. The DuPont family hopes to build its own power through this treasure.

They are preparing to take advantage of the chaos in Effie and join forces with the Goblin Alliance to become independent!"

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly. This should be the DuPont family's ultimate goal. With the support of the Central Empire, they are playing their own game. Their ambition is really not small.

Hermann was silent for a moment, then continued:

"There is one more thing that may be a bit stimulating for Miss Nephthys.

From my secret investigation, it seems that Miss Nephthys's mother... was once besieged by the DuPont family!"

Cohen's mind immediately jumped to the love story between Nephthys's mother and the illegitimate daughter of the old patriarch of the DuPont family that Nephthys had told him before.

Nephthys's mother and this illegitimate daughter were university classmates and had always been very close, even developing into a bed partner relationship.

It's just that for the sake of family continuation, Nephthys's mother found a man to marry, but later suffered an attack, was seriously injured, and turned to this illegitimate daughter, who is also Nephthys's adoptive mother, Aunt Morton.

I didn't expect that the people who besieged Nephthys's mother were actually the DuPont family!

Gradually, Cohen deduced the general appearance of the matter.

It should be that the DuPont family has been secretly paying attention to Morton, this illegitimate daughter, and also noticed Nephthys's mother, who has a good relationship with Morton, and at the same time realized the other party's identity.

Out of coveting the "Night Rose" family's treasure, they launched a siege against Nephthys's mother.

They knew Nephthys's mother's strong personality, and even if they caught her, they would not get any useful information.

But it doesn't matter, children are easier to deal with than adults.

So they deliberately let Nephthys's seriously injured mother go, expecting her to turn to Morton.

As a result, as they expected, they took the opportunity to propose to repair the relationship with Morton, and at the same time took the opportunity to bring Nephthys back to the DuPont family for training.

And wanted to make a marriage contract for Nephthys and Boggs, directly turning the orphan of the Night Rose family into a member of their DuPont family.

Unexpectedly, Cohen was born out of nowhere and broke their meticulously planned plan for many years.

Therefore, they were so exasperated that they did not hesitate to let the golden-ranked evil術師 openly assassinate Cohen in the Extraordinary Arena.

Cohen's eyes flashed with coldness. The DuPont family really had a way to die.

Not to mention wanting to conspire and rebel, they are also the murderers who killed Nephthys's mother. They are really courting death in various ways!

Cohen took a deep breath and had to find an opportunity to tell Nephthys this news. She has the right to know the real murderer!

He said to Hermann:

"You did a good job with this matter. I owe you a favor."

Hermann said in fear and sincerity:

"This is what your subject should do. Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You still have to try your best to appease Miss Nephthys and let her not be impulsive for now.

The DuPont family will pay the price for this sooner or later."

Cohen indicated that he knew it in his heart, and then said to Hermann:

"By the way, Hermann, I have reserved a position for you in the Military Intelligence Service, the director of the Secretariat. After you return to the team, take office."

Hermann looked puzzled and didn't know what this Military Intelligence Service was.

Prince Hauge explained to him the soon-to-be-established Effie Military Commission's Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

After hearing this, Hermann felt a surge of excitement in his heart. He knew that this was Cohen's reward for his work during this period.

A secret intelligence agency personally controlled by His Majesty the King. The power and voice of this agency are self-evident.

And the director of the Secretariat is responsible for assisting the director in handling the daily work affairs within the bureau. It is definitely the most powerful position within the entire Military Intelligence Service.

Hermann clearly knew what this trust meant.

He didn't express too much gratitude in words. Practical actions are more useful than empty vows.

After most of the matters were discussed, Cohen took Hermann into the "Shadow Plane" and sent him back to Earl Middleton.

Earl Middleton looked at Hermann who had returned, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, the investigation is over. Sign here and you can leave."

Hermann took a copy of the interrogation record, quickly browsed it, firmly remembered the contents above, then signed his name and left the three-story building.

As Hermann expected, not long after leaving the small building, he saw several members of the DuPont family.

Hermann's expression was calm and he walked straight over.

A member of the DuPont family said in a deep voice:

"The third uncle and His Excellency the Chief Justice have been waiting for you for a long time. They have something to ask you."

Hermann nodded slightly, signaling the other party to lead the way.

Not long after, Hermann saw Theodore DuPont of the DuPont family and Chief Justice Gore.

Seeing Hermann coming out of Middleton's place safe and sound, Gore breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"That bastard Snape didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Hermann said with a wry smile:

"Not too difficult, just kept asking those few questions over and over again, seeming sure that I took the treasures in the palace."

Gore said hatefully:

"That old thing is getting more and more outrageous.

He doesn't even give the Prime Minister face, he really doesn't know what's good for him."

Theodore coughed lightly, interrupting Gore's complaint, and said:

"It's good that you're back.

Hermann, the new batch of aid supplies from the Empire has arrived, go and receive it.

In addition, the Church has sent two golden-ranked people this time, and you are also responsible for receiving them.

When the time is right, arrange for them to enter the East Suburb Prison."

Hermann carefully recorded everything.

Chief Justice Gore's face flashed with a few traces of worry, and he said:

"The prison matter should be slowed down first. Arrange for those two golden-ranked people to go to the city first.

Tomorrow, Her Majesty the Queen will convene a joint meeting of the Cabinet and the Military Commission.

I feel that there is going to be a major announcement. It's better to be low-key these days."

Hermann's heart moved slightly, guessing that it should be the announcement of the establishment of the Military Intelligence Service.

He bowed slightly and said:

"Okay, I know it in my heart."

Theodore also did not object, and said solemnly:

"The final launch time is not far away. The closer we get to the end, the more we must remain calm.

Everyone has heard of the Queen of Effie's methods, even if you haven't seen them. Everyone must be cautious and not fall in the darkness before dawn!"

……

Today's Imperial Council Meeting was extremely solemn, and the atmosphere was a bit more intriguing than usual.

One is that the ministers have been notified in advance that His Majesty the King, Cohen Corleone, who has not appeared for a while, will also attend this Imperial Council Meeting, which has caused many people to be secretly surprised.

Cohen, who has been hidden for a long time, has made many people forget that there is still a King above their heads.

The other is that this Imperial Council Meeting is actually a joint meeting of the Cabinet Standing Committee and the Military Commission, which is unprecedented.

Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen is going to discuss some military issues?

Inside the Imperial Council Chamber, the ministers and generals sat in two distinct rows according to their order.

Before long, Prime Minister Angus walked slowly into the venue, and his tense expression made everyone present tense.

It seems that this meeting is not good!

After Angus entered the door, he did not greet everyone as usual, but sat down in the first seat without saying a word, propping his chin with his hands in a tower shape, his brows furrowed, obviously immersed in deep thought.

Seeing that the usually amiable Prime Minister was actually in such an attitude, the ministers smelled the unusual nature of this meeting.

For a time, many familiar ministers and generals exchanged glances, hoping to get some useful information from each other.

However, to their disappointment, it seemed that no news of this meeting had been leaked at all.

Just when everyone was making all kinds of small movements, a loud and familiar voice sounded:

"His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the Queen, are here!"

Hearing the voice of the Grand Chamberlain of the Palace, Snape Middleton, all the ministers, including Prime Minister Angus in the first seat, immediately stood up in unison and saluted the King and Queen.

The sound of the door opening sounded, and Yadel, wearing a gorgeous dress, took Cohen's arm, with a faint smile on her jade face, and walked in slowly.

The young and handsome king and the dignified and beautiful queen were a match made in heaven, but unfortunately the former was a fool.

Many people secretly thought, feeling a trace of pity for the young and beautiful Queen.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

A quasi-legendary queen paired with a… well, a king who doesn't even seem to be a Transcendent. No matter how you look at it, it feels awkward.

Many people thought with malicious amusement that His Majesty the King's mortal body would probably have difficulty satisfying Her Highness the Queen in bed.

Under the gaze of the crowd's complex gazes, the two arrived at the throne. After settling down, Yadel gestured to Middleton not far away.

The latter immediately brought a stack of brownish-yellow file bags and distributed them to everyone present.

The ministers looked at the three seals of the King, Queen, and Prime Minister stamped on the brownish-yellow file seals, and all fell into a strange silence.

Although they were all curious about what was inside, which required the simultaneous use of the three seals, they still understood the rules and did not move rashly.

Just then, Yadel spoke calmly:

"Be seated, everyone."

After everyone was seated, Yadel looked around and said in a deep voice:

"The reason I called everyone here today is to discuss something with you."

Hearing this, the ministers straightened their bodies and waited for Yadel's words.

Yadel has been in charge of Effie for more than three years. In the beginning, some people were critical of a young woman in her twenties being in charge of the government.

But now, no one dares to underestimate this stunning queen anymore.

Compared to Her Highness the Queen's eye-catching appearance, her brilliant methods and strong style have left a deeper impression on the ministers.

A cold, decisive, and wise queen, this is Yadel's image in the minds of most ministers.

Many people say that she is more like an empress than His Majesty Klein of the Central Empire.

The ministers waited for Yadel to announce something important.

At this moment, Yadel changed the subject and said:

"Before announcing this matter, I have a question to ask everyone. Has everyone not noticed that someone is missing today?"

The ministers' hearts tightened. When they arrived at the venue, everyone was thinking about the meeting and had no intention of paying attention to who was there and who was not.

After being reminded by Her Highness the Queen, they realized that someone was indeed missing.

Cabinet member, Minister of Agriculture Hector Reid, did not appear here today.

After noticing this abnormal situation, the hearts of all the ministers suddenly clenched.

Yadel's voice then rang out, with a hint of coldness in her tone:

"After investigation, the nephew of Minister of Agriculture Hector Reid was seduced by a spy from a certain country with his beauty, and leaked a large amount of national information about Effie's agricultural production, land resources, etc. to that country.

Minister Reid surrendered his nephew to the Senate and this palace yesterday, and he has also offered his resignation!

He is currently suspended from his duties at home for reflection."

This news was like a thunderbolt, exploding beside the ears of the ministers.

The nephew of the Minister of Agriculture became a foreign spy?

This news was too explosive, but I don't know which country the information was sold to.

Turn yourself in?

Was it really a voluntary surrender?

Various thoughts arose in the minds of the ministers.

Before the ministers could digest this matter, Yadel's voice rang out again:

"This matter has had a great impact and crisis on our agricultural production and national food security.

At the same time, it has also sounded the alarm for us.

The Northwest Continent Exchange Conference is getting closer and closer, and various reactionary forces at home and abroad are also moving upon hearing the news.

This palace believes that it is necessary to establish a special department to deal with these hostile elements with ulterior motives!"

Hearing this, the ministers immediately understood what was going on.

Is Her Highness the Queen trying to establish a new department to centralize power?

I just don't know what kind of department it is, and whether my people can get in and get a share of the pie.

The ministers looked at the brownish-yellow file bags placed on the table, and a common thought popped into their heads. Presumably, what is inside is the situation of this new department.

Just as everyone was caught in their own calculations, Prime Minister Angus spoke at this time:

"The file bags in front of you contain the organizational structure and staffing of this new department.

Take a look first, and we'll talk about any opinions later."

Hearing what the Prime Minister said, everyone began to open the file bags in front of them and browse the contents.

Just after reading the beginning, many people showed horrified expressions.

The highest leader of this new department is actually His Majesty the King!

What does Her Highness the Queen mean by doing this?

Is it to pave the way for returning power to the King?

Everyone continued to read on, and soon, this military intelligence agency under the Effie Military Commission shocked the ministers.

Almost everyone was surprised and shocked by the great power of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Effie Military Commission.

Except for His Majesty the King and Her Highness the Queen, everyone in Effie is obliged to cooperate with investigations, accept interrogations, and even be arrested, tried, and sanctioned!

Doesn't that mean that they, these ministers, can also become targets of arrest and sanction by this military command at any time?

If they couldn't feel the cold gaze of Her Highness the Queen, some people would have almost stood up and expressed their opposition.

If this institution is really established, it will definitely set off a monstrous wave in the Effie political arena.

Of course, what makes them most unacceptable is the person in charge of this institution, a strange woman named Nephthys!

More than a year ago, the cabinet ministers also went to watch the Transcendent Duel Arena Competition.

Those with good memories immediately recalled the young girl who was following "Lord of Shadows" from the depths of their minds.

Now, even more people can't sit still.

What is this?

They have struggled for half their lives to climb to a high position, but in the end, they have to listen to a young woman bossing them around?

Where do the ministers' face and dignity go?

Chief Justice Gore looked at the name Nephthys, his heart full of confusion and astonishment.

He had heard people from the DuPont family mention this person. She was originally an important part of their plan, but in the end, "Lord of Shadows" intervened and took her away.

I didn't expect to see her again today, and she has transformed into a guest of honor of Her Highness the Queen?

To serve as the assistant director of this Investigation and Statistics Bureau?

His Majesty the King is a well-known fool, and the real power must be in the hands of the assistant director. Could this person be Her Highness the Queen's person?

Is Her Highness the Queen actually in charge of all this?

Many ministers have the same doubts as Chief Justice Gore.

Finally, someone couldn't help but speak.

The first to speak was Minister of Military Affairs Marshall Ian. He couldn't make the decision to set up a military intelligence organization, so Marshall must be the first to be unable to sit still:

"Her Highness the Queen, who is this Nephthys? ?"

Marshall knew this question already, he knows Nephthys' true identity, but he still has to ask.

What he is asking is not who Nephthys is, but on what basis Nephthys can serve as the head of such a powerful organization.

Yadel's voice was unhurried, and the simple six words made the Minister of Military Affairs speechless:

"She is my person."

The ministers were also silent and stopped making a sound.

When they saw that the preparatory work for this department was entirely responsible by the Palace Chief Steward Sneath Middleton, the expressions on their faces became intriguing again.

Sneath is a well-known royalist, and he is most at odds with the Prime Minister.

But Her Highness the Queen insisted on letting this person be responsible for the preparatory work, wouldn't that be clearly letting him insert royalists into it?

Is Her Highness the Queen really preparing to return power to the King?

This is not impossible, after all, Her Highness the Queen's performance during the Emerald Lake War has also reached their ears.

No matter what they think in their hearts, at least in terms of practical actions, Her Highness the Queen's feelings for the King are extremely deep.

Thinking of this, many ministers showed thoughtful expressions.

Next, the Queen handed over the venue to her father, Prime Minister Angus.

Angus then began to explain the basic situation and personnel structure of the Military Statistics Bureau to the ministers:

"… Thirty percent of the personnel of this agency will be selected from the police, garrison, regular army, special forces and other institutions across the country;

Thirty percent will be recommended by military academies from all over the country with excellent graduates, and the Military Commission will be responsible for the assessment and recruitment;

Thirty percent will be openly recruited and selected from the society, and Her Highness the Queen will be personally responsible for the recruitment work;

The remaining ten percent will be jointly recommended by the ministers.

The Military Statistics Bureau will have independent action rights and a high level of confidentiality, and will report directly to the King and Queen…"

…

Just like what Her Highness the Queen thought when she heard that Nephthys was preparing to establish an intelligence agency in Effie, the current Effie high-level has already been infiltrated into a sieve.

The cabinet meeting was held in the morning, and the content was leaked during lunch.

The news that Her Highness the Queen was preparing to establish a powerful intelligence organization in the country soon grew wings.

It was sent to the desks of those conspirators and ambitious people entrenched in Effie.

National Chief Justice Baron Gore is an outstanding representative of them.

As soon as the cabinet meeting ended, he immediately notified Herman and secretly met with his loyal ally, Theodore DuPont.

When Theodore learned of this news, he was unsurprisingly surprised.

Especially when he heard that Nephthys was actually the highest person in charge of this institution, his face showed undisguised shock.

Theodore asked in a deep voice:

"Are you sure?

The person in charge of this Military Statistics Bureau is a woman named Nephthys?"

Gore nodded and said:

"Of course, many people brought it up at the time, saying that this was the little girl who was with the Lord of Shadows who caused the 'Six Saints War' not long ago."

Hearing this, Theodore had no doubts in his heart.

In an instant, various scenes that happened in the Transcendent Duel Arena a year ago once again entered his mind.

The action against the "Lord of Shadows" that was made because of Nephthys was one of the few stains in his life.

As the brain trust of the DuPont family, he suffered such a big loss when facing a second-order young man. Not only did he lose a golden-order transcendent from the "Bound Church", but also his nephew Bogus DuPont was beaten to a pulp in public.

The dignity and face of the DuPont family were ruthlessly rubbed on the ground by a young man.

This made Theodore, who has always been arrogant, feel unprecedented shame.

And Theodore, knowing that Cohen had a very deep background at the time, did not hesitate to get rid of the other party at all costs.

It was for this Nephthys.

Just as Cohen had speculated, the DuPont family had long known the true identity of Nefertis's mother.

Naturally, they also had their eyes on the treasures of the Night Rose family.

The DuPont family's original plan was to wait for the Central Empire's forces to abduct the Queen and assassinate the King.

Ephesein would then fall into unprecedented turmoil.

At this time, the DuPont family could use the Night Rose family's vast wealth to train a powerful army, seize the capital, usurp power, and establish their own glory.

The plan had always been perfect. Under their design, Nefertis's mother was critically injured and on the verge of death, and she entrusted her daughter to her good friend, Morton.

Who was actually the DuPont family's illegitimate daughter.

The DuPont family also took this opportunity to bring Nefertis back to the family to raise, naturally approaching this only heir of the Night Rose family.

Everything was developing as the DuPont family had envisioned, and they were about to reap the fruits of their victory.

However, a young man named "Lord of Shadows" suddenly emerged out of nowhere, not only severely humiliating Boggs, the first in line to inherit the DuPont family, and tearing up the engagement.

He also climbed onto the high branches of the Ephesein royal family, forcing the DuPont family to concede and watch him take Nefertis away.

This directly bankrupted the DuPont family's plan, which had been in the works for many years.

This had always been a thorn in the side of the DuPont family, and also in the heart of Theodore DuPont.

Fortunately, the situation could still be salvaged, as they still had the great backing of the Central Empire to rely on.

Their plan was to rely on the power of the Central Empire during the great turmoil in the capital to secretly settle the score with this "Lord of Shadows."

And by the way, snatch Nefertis to achieve their goal of completing their great cause.

Unexpectedly, Nefertis had seemingly vanished into thin air for more than a year.

Including that hateful "Lord of Shadows."

Theodore even wondered if they had eloped.

Their intelligence capabilities were not as good as those of the empires, kingdoms, and large organizations that dominated the continent, and they could not access too much external information.

They had no idea that the "Lord of Shadows" had already stirred up a great storm in the distant "Lost Land" and made a great name for himself.

The DuPont family was still anxious about this, worrying that if Nefertis really didn't come back, they would really be at a loss.

Fortunately, the news brought by Grand Judge Gore today surprised and delighted him.

Nefertis had actually appeared, and as a person close to Her Majesty the Queen.

What was even more incomprehensible to him was that a young girl in her teens had suddenly become the head of a powerful intelligence organization, the Military Intelligence Bureau, which was about to spread throughout the country.

Could all of this be the work of the "Lord of Shadows"?

Theodore fell into deep thought.

Grand Judge Gore looked at the always calm Theodore DuPont, his face constantly changing, his heart slightly moved, and he asked:

"What exactly is the origin of this Nefertis?

Why do you value her so much?

I have always been very puzzled before. At that time, the 'Lord of Shadows' had obviously gained the dual attention of the 'Pale Wings' and the Ephesein royal family.

And he held the super secret position of [Dragon Seal · Weapon Master].

He was also able to perform the 'Summoning God' ritual.

With such a background, even if we have Lord Heisenberg of the Central Empire to back us up, it would not be easy to offend him.

But you insisted on attacking him at that time. I remember it was for this Nefertis, what secrets does this woman have that make you want to get her at all costs?"

DuPont suppressed his emotions, remained silent for a moment, and said to Gore:

"It's very simple, because she is a member of the 'Night Rose' family."

Gore was stunned for a moment, "Night Rose"?

The name sounded familiar, where had he heard it before?

Theodore said slowly:

"Forbidden Black Magic Experiment!"

Upon hearing these words, a bolt of lightning struck Gore's mind, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"The 'Night Rose' family?

The ancient warlock family that was jointly destroyed by the five great empires?"

Theodore nodded in the other party's horrified gaze, and then said:

"During the heyday of the 'Night Rose' family, even if it couldn't compare to the current 'Golden Wing Family', it was not far behind?

Although most of their family's wealth was divided up by the five great empires and those kingdoms.

But after all, it was a family that had developed for thousands of years, it was impossible not to leave any backup plans.

In fact, we have already found out that the 'Night Rose' family left a very rich treasure in the family's secret land, enough for the descendants of the 'Night Rose' family to make a comeback."

Hearing about the treasure of the "Night Rose" family, Gore's face showed a look of realization.

No wonder Theodore was determined to get Nefertis, such a huge treasure, no one would not be tempted.

Gore concealed the fiery greed in his eyes and asked:

"Then what should we do now?

She is now a favorite of Her Majesty the Queen, and has climbed onto the big backer of the Queen, it's not easy to deal with, right?"

Gore snorted coldly and said:

"Don't worry.

Her backer will not be able to protect herself for long.

No matter what the Queen established this intelligence organization for?

There are only a few months left.

I don't believe that the Ephesein royal family can change their fate against the heavens in these few months.

It's just a dying struggle, they don't know what they are going to face, even if they now have the strength of a kingdom, it will be difficult to escape this destruction!

How about this, didn't they say that ten percent of the personnel of this Military Intelligence Bureau are recommended by the cabinet ministers?

Take this opportunity to find a few clean, smart and steady people to sneak in, and keep an eye on Nefertis's movements.

When the capital is in chaos in the future, find a chance to strike!"

Gore's face showed a thoughtful look, and he pondered for a moment and said:

"What about Hermann?

He has met the Queen, and the Queen appreciates him more.

Hermann originally committed murder in front of His Majesty and the Queen, and was going to be executed, but later saw that he was loyal and righteous, and let him go.

With this relationship, it is easier to gain the trust of Her Majesty the Queen?

Theodore also agreed with Gore's proposal, Hermann's ability and loyalty were obvious to all.

Before long, Gore called Hermann in and explained the matter.

Hermann was almost unable to hold back when he heard that the other party was going to recommend him to enter the Military Intelligence Bureau.

He couldn't help but want to tell the other party, Your Excellency Grand Judge, I am already the Chief of the Secretariat of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

If you recommend me to go in, am I going to start as an ordinary clerk?

Hermann felt an unspeakable strangeness in his heart.

In this way, wouldn't it be that if I get closer to His Majesty's people in the future, not only will I not be suspected, but it will be thought that I have completed the undercover mission very well?

Hermann suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and accepted the task that made him laugh and cry.

… …

Count Snape Middleton's mansion, reception room.

Cohen was also a little speechless when he learned of the news brought by Hermann.

About the fact that the spy I sent out was re-sent back by the other party in the name of a spy to go undercover?

What magical realism reality?

Cohen asked:

"Did he tell you anything else, what is the main task of sending you here?"

Hermann glanced at Nefertis, who was sorting out the materials not far away, with a hesitant look on his face.

Cohen immediately understood and waved his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to say it.

It's still Nefertis, the DuPont family's goal is still her.

Hermann received Cohen's hint and said no more.

After a moment of silence, Hermann suddenly asked:

"By the way, I also heard from Gore about the way the Military Intelligence Bureau recruits people this time... Ten percent are recommended by the ministers, and they also have to face social recruitment. What if those opposing forces take the opportunity to insert spies and cause trouble for us?"

Hermann was worried about the purity of the team. Once such a huge institution opened recruitment, who knows how many people would want to stuff secret agents and bury nails in it.

Wasn't Hermann himself planted in by Gore?

Cohen smiled mysteriously and said:

"I'm still afraid that they won't send people in!"

Hearing this, Hermann suddenly understood that His Majesty was fishing for law enforcement.

Cohen paused and continued:

"Nefertis and I are preparing to interview several future Military Intelligence Bureau backbones. Since you are here, let's take a look together.

Maybe we will start taking action in the next two days."

Hermann was stunned for a moment and asked:

"So fast?

Wasn't the meeting just held this morning? Isn't the preparation time at least a month?"

Cohen said with a smile:

"We want to take advantage of the fact that they think the Military Intelligence Bureau is still in preparation, to catch them off guard and do a few big things to deter these domestic reactionary forces and make the Military Intelligence Bureau's first shot!"

Hermann's heart trembled slightly. If His Majesty said so, then the people targeted must be of great importance.

Cohen handed Hermann a few documents and said:

"These are all core members of the 'One Heart Society', most of them are from commoner or declining noble backgrounds.

Snape has investigated their family background and resume, and I recently asked Akdimon to further verify their interpersonal relationships.

There is no problem with loyalty. As long as they are capable and bold, they can be used as the first batch of backbones of the Military Intelligence Bureau."

Hermann replied in a deep voice:

"Okay."
