My queen is rebelling!

Jin Woning and Theodore were speechless, but Samuel's吐槽 (tù cáo, meaning to roast or complain) was also correct.

After all, Her Majesty the Queen had also stated very bluntly that she was taking revenge for her husband.

For some inexplicable reason, the two recalled the tragic state of Cliff Gunter, the eldest son of the Duke of the Southern Border, and the warning that seemed to have been personally put into practice by the Collins family — Anyone who dares to touch my husband again, this palace will destroy your clan!

The Collins family was truly exterminated!

Leaving aside Jin Woning and Theodore, Samuel, after hearing this news, inexplicably felt a hint of worry for his trip to Florence.

He had no doubt that, given Queen Effie's personality,

once she found out about his plan, she wouldn't care about his identity, even if he was a senior official of the Central Empire's Noble Council.

He had long heard that Queen Effie Angraien's current strength was close to surpassing legendary transcendents.

Samuel did not dare to underestimate this queen who could make his Empress willingly submit.

Seemingly seeing Samuel's nervousness, Jin Woning quickly comforted him:

"Mr. Samuel, don't worry, we are absolutely safe here, and the Queen will not suspect us for no reason."

Theodore also chimed in:

"Mr. Samuel, don't worry about safety issues.

So far, none of our plans have been detected by anyone.

For example, the heir of the wealthiest Golden Wing family on the continent, Isabella Winser, the Golden Wing Girl, already had a desired partner, and many people were speculating about how much dowry the wealthy Golden Wing family would give their Golden Wing Girl.

For example, a new force recently emerged in the "Lost Land," which everyone talked about with fear, called the "Endless Alliance." It was said that the person in power inside was a Winged Elf.

Et cetera, et cetera.

At the same time, Samuel also subtly expressed that.

Once the uprising succeeded, the Chief of Heisenberg would not mind dispatching a portion of the Central Empire's army stationed overseas to clear some obstacles for the DuPont family.

Jin Woning and Theodore were naturally surprised and delighted to hear this, and repeatedly assured that they would faithfully complete the tasks assigned to them by the Chief of Heisenberg.

In the "Shadow Plane," Cohen silently observed the movements of the group and followed them back to the DuPont family's residence.

After the grand banquet ended, the three appeared in a secret room.

After entering the secret room, Samuel took out a magic array scroll and set up a simple anti-eavesdropping magic array around the three, before whispering the main task of his visit.

He took out a densely packed list from his chest, handed it to Jin Woning, and said in a deep voice:

"In the next few days, you help me find these people and arrange for them to meet with me.

Most of these people work in your government departments, or have direct relatives who hold leadership positions in some key departments."

Jin Woning took the list and saw many familiar names on it.

Then, Samuel's words shocked them:

"These are the secret sleeper agents that the Chief of Heisenberg has cultivated in your Effie, especially in Florence, over the years."

Jin Woning and Theodore simultaneously showed shocked expressions. So many people, covering all aspects of the Effie government, military, schools, and organizations.

It would definitely be a huge project to secretly infiltrate so many personnel.

Could it be that Heisenberg of the Central Empire had already begun planning against Effie many years ago?

Samuel saw the doubts in their hearts, chuckled, and said:

"Originally, I shouldn't have told you, but Lord Chief said that you are not outsiders.

To tell you the truth, Lord Heisenberg is not deliberately targeting Florence.

Rather, this is the tradition of the Chief of the Upper House of the Noble Council of the Central Empire.

The chiefs of each generation have placed similar personnel in various countries throughout the continent.

Many personnel, even if they are placed, may not have any tasks in their entire lives, and have never done anything for the Central Empire from beginning to end.

The Empire does this not to require them to complete any tasks, but just in case, such as this time, these personnel will play a great role.

Please arrange it for me as soon as possible. These people are the core personnel placed by the chiefs of each generation. If I don't show up, they won't believe it.

So I must personally meet these people and activate them."

Jin Woning and the two were already shocked by the great handwriting of the Chief of the Noble Council of the Central Empire.

It is indeed the Central Empire that dominates the continent. Just a political force can achieve this level. Effie's attempt to fight against them is really overestimating itself.

Fortunately, he found a way out in advance.

Jin Woning carefully put away the list and assured Samuel:

"Sir, don't worry, I will find these people for you within three days."

In the Shadow Plane, Cohen's face had become much gloomy.

He still underestimated Heisenberg's strength and calculations, and also did not expect that the Central Empire would invest such a large amount of capital to start deploying on the continent early.

Cohen thought very deeply. It seems that he is not the only one who knows about the disaster and war that will sweep across the entire continent in the future.

The top echelons of the Central Empire probably also foresaw some of the possible changes in the future through various means, so they made some arrangements in advance.

Cohen also glanced at the list just now.

There are too many departments and institutions involved. There are energy supply stations responsible for providing magical energy to the entire royal capital, grassroots police officers responsible for maintaining law and order, logistics officers in the army, and even a sleeper agent who is a direct relative of an officer of the Royal Palace Guard.

Once there is a great turmoil, if these people take the opportunity to rebel, it will definitely cause immeasurable damage to Effie's entire defense force.

No wonder Heisenberg wanted his confidant to come in person. With this trump card, their success rate would indeed be much higher.

Cohen smiled coldly and quietly disappeared into the secret room.

...

Cohen called Nefthys and Asuna to his side and told them about Samuel bringing a list.

Learning that the Central Empire had actually placed so many people in Florence, the two were also greatly surprised.

Cohen instructed:

"You two keep a close eye on Samuel these two days and see who he meets.

Write it down, and then let the military intelligence secretly monitor these people.

As for how to deal with it, I'll talk about it when I get back."

Asuna raised her eyebrows slightly and asked:

"You're going out?"

Nefthys also turned her gaze over.

Cohen said:

"I must control Samuel, who brought this list.

But it's not good to do it in Effie, so I plan to go to the Lost Land and let Winsader contact Her Majesty the Empress.

I'm going to cooperate with Her Majesty the Empress."

Nefthys said that she couldn't understand and asked:

"Isn't the Empress also from the Central Empire?

Will she stand against that Chief Heisenberg?

Cohen replied:

"The Central Empire is not as united as you think, especially the Upper House of the Noble Council, led by Heisenberg, which has always been a great challenge to imperial power. Don't worry, I'm sure I can convince her."

Seeing that Cohen had made up his mind, the two didn't say anything more, but asked Cohen to say hello to Winsader, Grace, Mephisto, and other girls who stayed behind in the "Endless Alliance."

Cohen came to the Emerald Lake Villa, took out the "Book of Time and Space", and gently chanted a spell. The whole person instantly disappeared in Effie.

After a moment of trance, Cohen's figure suddenly appeared in the Endless Capital, the Executive Government, and the Living Area.

Before his sight could converge, he heard an exclamation in his ear, followed by Grace's angry voice:

"What are you doing? You didn't even say hello before coming back. You scared me to death."

Cohen smiled apologetically and said:

"Sorry, it's urgent. I forgot to tell everyone in advance.

Long time no see, Your Highness is getting more and more beautiful."

Grace raised her eyebrows slightly and said:

"I don't buy your flattery. Go and coax your woman. Bye bye!"

After saying that, she left a fragrant breeze and disappeared.

Before Cohen could say anything, he felt a movement behind him.

Looking back, the elf lady was calmly watching him.

Cohen smiled gently:

"I had some urgent business, so I came back. How have you been lately?"

Winsader's lips curled up slightly, and she snorted softly:

"Thanks to someone, I'm busy all day long.

I wasn't this busy when I was with His Majesty Klein!"

Cohen walked up to Winsader, opened his arms slightly and said:

"You've worked hard."

After a gentle hug, Winsader asked:

"How is Florence?

Cohen said:

"It's okay. It's progressing smoothly."

"What's the urgent matter that made you come back in such a hurry?"

Cohen whispered:

"Winsa, I want to talk to Her Majesty the Empress about something. Can you help me contact her?"

Winsader frowned slightly, her suspicious eyes fixed on Cohen, and asked:

"Her Majesty the Empress?

You want to talk to her?

Cohen nodded slightly and briefly told Winsader about the situation in Effie.

When she heard that the DuPont family was being interfered with by the Chief of Heisenberg, Winsader was shocked, grabbed Cohen's hand and said:

"Heisenberg?

Why would he interfere with the situation in Effie?

You... you want to oppose him?

Cohen stroked Winsader's hair and whispered:

"What, is there a problem?

Winsader frowned and whispered:

"You don't know Heisenberg's power.

He represents the lineage of the Chief of the Upper House of the Noble Council and possesses unbelievable power and energy.

The chiefs of each generation of the Noble Council are the biggest restraint and challenge to the imperial power of the Central Empire.

The reason why Heisenberg was willing to strongly support Sennis's ascension to the throne was not only to comply with the late Emperor's last decree.

It is more likely that he wanted to elect a young Empress with little power so that he could better restrain the imperial power.

You want to oppose him..."

Windsor Della didn't explicitly say it, but her words clearly indicated that she wasn't optimistic about Cohen's actions.

Cohen smiled softly and said:

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not confident in.

Please help me contact Her Majesty the Empress. This matter requires her assistance."

Windsor Della sighed and said:

"Contacting Senice is no problem, but don't expect me to say anything good on your behalf.

Aside from the fact that Senice is the kind of emperor who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, she also has a strong opinion of you because of… because of some rumors about us.

If I speak for you, it might backfire."

Cohen hugged Windsor Della tightly again to express his gratitude.

Windsor Della knew the matter was urgent and didn't delay. She quickly took Cohen to a room, took out a special communication stone, and set up a communication magic array in the room.

Just as she was about to activate the array, Windsor Della seemed to remember something and said to Cohen:

"You should go out first. I'm not sure what Senice is doing right now. Wait for me to contact her before you come in."

As Senice's close friend, Windsor Della knew Senice's lifestyle habits.

When she wasn't attending court, she often dressed casually in the palace.

After Cohen left, Windsor Della activated the magic array and contacted Senice Klein, the Empress of the Central Empire, who was far away in the Central Continent.

When she saw Senice lying on the sofa in a cool outfit, a large expanse of her snow-white skin exposed.

Her large, teardrop-shaped breasts, flat abdomen, long, fair legs, and high, shapely arches of her feet combined to create an irresistible, fatal feminine charm.

Windsor Della secretly thought, 'That was close.' Luckily, she had Cohen leave first. If he had seen Her Majesty the Empress in this state, it would have been a real disaster.

Before Windsor Della could speak, Senice's teasing voice came from the screen:

"Oh, I thought that after someone got a man, they would forget that they still had an Empress!"

Windsor Della said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to report to you."

Senice sat up slightly, crossing her long legs, the bunny on her chest bouncing with her movements:

"Speak. Don't tell me you're planning to marry that wild man."

Windsor Della said evasively:

"Your Majesty, someone wants to meet you and discuss some matters. I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Senice raised her slender eyebrows slightly and asked:

"Who is it?"

Windsor Della turned her gaze away and whispered:

"The Lord of Shadows."

Senice stood up abruptly, her tone rising a few notches:

"You wouldn't be taking him to meet the parents, would you?

I'm telling you, no way!

If he wants to marry the Central Empire's Empress's personal envoy, he'll have to come to the palace himself to propose!"

Windsor Della said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about? He has important business with you. Hurry up and tidy yourself up. He's right outside the door."

Senice frowned even deeper and asked:

"What important business could I have to discuss with him?

Alright, for your sake, I'll give him an audience."

As soon as she finished speaking, Senice waved her fair hand, and a gorgeous palace dress covered the spring scenery on her body.

Windsor Della breathed a sigh of relief and called Cohen in.

After Cohen came in, he looked at the image on the magic array, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time he had seen this young Empress.

At first glance, she did exude the majesty of an emperor in every gesture.

But touching her eyebrows and eyes, one could still find the pure charm of a young girl. Between majesty and gentleness, there was a unique charm that was fascinating.

Cohen inexplicably felt that his Queen-sister seemed more like an Empress than Senice.

Cohen bowed slightly and saluted:

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress."

Senice's cold voice sounded:

"Why didn't you take off your mask when you met the Emperor?"

She's not coming with good intentions.

Faced with Senice's question, Cohen replied calmly:

"My appearance is different from ordinary people. I was worried about scaring Your Majesty, so I didn't take off my mask."

Senice said in a deep voice:

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more curious. Take off your mask. I want to see what kind of appearance can scare me."

Windsor Della couldn't help but say when she saw Senice deliberately making things difficult for Cohen:

"Your Majesty, let's talk about serious matters."

Senice was annoyed in her heart. She was doing this entirely for Windsor Della's sake.

You can't be dating for so long without even seeing the other person's face, right?

Cohen smiled slightly and said:

"Your Majesty will have the opportunity to see my true appearance in the future. As for now, I want to discuss a cooperation with Your Majesty!"

Senice had already developed a negative impression of Cohen, and her tone was indifferent:

"What qualifications do you think you have to negotiate a deal with an emperor?

If it weren't for Windsor's sake, you wouldn't even be able to see my face.

The reason I agreed to see you was to warn you that Windsor is not only the heir to the Windrunner family, but also the personal envoy and Chief of the Imperial Household of Her Majesty Empress Klein of the Central Empire!

Although I will not interfere too much in her personal love life, I will not tolerate a fickle man playing with her feelings."

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly, without any reaction to the Empress's stern tone.

He just replied faintly:

"I'm not here today to argue with Your Majesty, nor am I here to discuss the private affairs between Windsor and me.

The reason I came to see Your Majesty is to talk to you about a person."

Her Majesty Empress Klein's eyes were still cold, her tone obviously carrying a sense of rejection, with sarcasm in her words:

"Apart from Windsor, I don't think there will be any other intersection between us, let alone someone we both know."

Cohen's eyes calmly stared at Her Majesty Empress Klein, and he slowly said a name:

"Heisenberg, Chief of the Upper House Hospital of the Central Empire's Noble Council.

I think Your Majesty should have a deep memory of this name."

Hearing this name coming from Cohen's mouth, Her Majesty Klein's emotions fluctuated violently.

The contempt and indifference between her eyebrows faded a lot, and she refocused her gaze on Cohen, a trace of caution rising in her heart about this person.

The other party's sudden mention of Chief Heisenberg was indeed beyond his expectations.

However, Senice did not give any reply, still gazing at Cohen indifferently, waiting for his follow-up.

Cohen paused for a moment, then continued:

"Windsor must have told Your Majesty some things about me.

I have currently reached an agreement with Queen Yadel Angeren of Florence to work with the Corleone Royal Family to maintain the safety and stability of the Florence region.

However, not long ago, I discovered a mysterious force that would pose a great challenge and threat to the safety of Florence.

After my secret investigation, I can now confirm that the source of this mysterious force is Heisenberg, Chief of the Upper House of your country's Noble Council."

Hearing Cohen's words, Her Majesty Empress Klein's heart trembled slightly, and a look of contemplation appeared on her face.

Hearing the name Heisenberg from Cohen's mouth was indeed a bit surprising to Her Majesty the Empress.

Senice did notice that the people in the Upper House seemed to be plotting some conspiracy in Florence recently.

She even specifically reminded Windsor Della's teacher, Grand Magister Victor, to help take care of Queen Yadel at that time to ensure that she would not be in trouble.

For this woman who had given her a heavy blow in her youth and brought her indelible spiritual harm, Senice had always kept it in her heart.

Before personally defeating Yadel, Senice would not allow anyone to interfere with her growth.

Besides, Senice was not interested in the conspiracy of Heisenberg and others. For the emperor who ruled the strongest empire of mankind, a small duchy far away in the Northwest Continent was merely like air.

If it weren't for Yadel, she wouldn't have cared about such a small country.

But indifference was one aspect. When Cohen so easily spoke of the conspiracy of Heisenberg and others, Senice was still slightly surprised.

With her understanding of Heisenberg and these people, it was impossible for them to be caught so easily.

How could this "Lord of Shadows" have only been back to Florence for a few days and already seen through the other party's conspiracy, even pointing directly to the source and directly investigating Heisenberg?

This was really somewhat beyond Her Majesty the Empress's expectations.

It seems that Windsor's vision is still good. This man is indeed very capable.

Senice's eyes looked at Cohen and said calmly:

"Are you accusing my ministers of intending to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries?"

Cohen bowed slightly:

"Your Majesty Klein, please forgive me for speaking frankly, Chief Heisenberg is no longer simply interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. He is preparing to overthrow the rule of the Son of God, King of Florence, Cohen Corleone!"

Senice's eyebrows still flickered with coldness, her voice official with a hint of indifference:

"Chief Heisenberg is a pillar of the Central Empire and has made great contributions to the glory and development of the Empire.

He is an outstanding role model and example for the Empire's nobles and officials.

The Emperor will not blindly suspect his ministers because of the one-sided words of an unknown person.

If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Cohen was annoyed in his heart. This woman's mouth was really too vicious. He suppressed his emotions and said coldly:

"Your Majesty, I have evidence!"

As he spoke, Cohen took out a memory stone, which showed the scene of Samuel Jones and the Dupont family plotting together.

Including Samuel's promise to Viscount Dupont that after the matter was completed, he could secretly send troops to help the Dupont family dominate Florence.

Cohen stared at Senice's increasingly gloomy face, saying each word clearly:

"Samuel Jones, Secretary-General of the Legal Committee of the Central Empire's Noble Council.

Heisenberg's close confidant.

Does Your Majesty still think this matter is just my one-sided story now?"
