My queen is rebelling!

Chapter 186: Heisenberg's Motive - The Only Way to Defeat the Empress, Queen Effiein!

Central Empire, the meeting place agreed upon with Her Majesty the Empress.

Cohen glanced at Isabella beside him and said in a low voice:

"How is the situation in the Ceylon Kingdom?"

Isabella immediately rushed back from the Ceylon Kingdom after learning that Cohen was coming to the Central Empire.

Hearing Cohen's question, Isabella replied:

"It's quite stable, thanks to your good Queen."

A look of astonishment appeared on Cohen's face, and he asked:

"What's wrong? What does this have to do with Adelle?"

Isabella said jealously:

"Originally, the Third Prince Saxon was about to attack Duke Gavin.

As a result, the news of the Effiein court came over. Adelle's strength in the court was too amazing, so Saxon decided to deal with Effiein's affairs first before resolving the domestic opposition, which would be more stable.

He was worried that if the Gavin family resisted too strongly, it would damage their strength, and it would be even more difficult to deal with Queen Effiein."

A look of realization appeared on Cohen's face, and then he said:

"If he doesn't attack the Gavin family now, I'm afraid he won't have the chance in the future!"

Cohen was not prepared to let go of this Third Prince who dared to have designs on his Queen's sister.

Isabella snorted twice and said jealously:

"What an enviable relationship!"

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Cohen's face, and he wisely didn't answer, but changed the subject:

"You're so busy in the Ceylon Kingdom, why are you running back and forth?

I'm just here to interrogate someone with your Empress, and I'll go back after asking."

Isabella glared at Cohen:

"You're really heartless. I'm just worried about you.

The person you're dealing with is the Chief of the Aristocratic Council of the Central Empire. Who knows if the Empress is in cahoots with him and deliberately trying to lure you in."

Cohen said helplessly:

"You're thinking too much. Her Majesty the Empress is not that kind of person."

A look of suspicion appeared in Isabella's eyes:

"You seem to know our Empress very well. It's strange, you should have never met her before."

Cohen really wanted to say that he hadn't met her in this life, but he had dealt with the emperor of the strongest human empire a lot in his previous life.

He laughed and said:

"How could a dignified Emperor use such conspiracies and tricks?

By the way, have you met Her Majesty Klein before?"

Isabella pouted slightly and said:

"I've met her a few times at banquets. At that time, she was just a talented young princess.

Who would have thought that she would eventually ascend the throne?

Why are you suddenly so interested in her? Don't tell me you've taken a fancy to her too."

Isabella muttered:

"That's not necessarily true. Who doesn't know your reputation as a master of romance..."

The two of them happily quarreled until a low, magnetic female voice came from behind:

"What, does the dignified 'Lord of Shadows' need to bring the 'Golden Winged Woman' to embolden himself?"

The two turned around, and Sennis in casual clothes appeared behind them.

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly. Sennis's current attire was like a pure girl next door, and she couldn't be seen as the emperor who ruled the most powerful empire of mankind.

Isabella beside her smiled and said:

"In front of Her Majesty, there is no 'Golden Winged Woman', only your subject Isabella Wenzel."

Sennis's lips curled into a faint smile, and she replied:

"I hope Miss Wenzel really thinks so."

As one of the wealthiest families in the entire continent, the heir of the Golden Wing family is also an object that Her Majesty the Empress needs to unite and win over.

Sennis didn't want to put on the airs of an emperor in front of Isabella. The reason why Isabella was willing to be so humble was mostly for Cohen beside her.

Sennis obviously saw this too, and her eyes swept over the masked man beside her, and complex emotions surged in her heart.

She didn't understand what charm this man had that he had captured her best friend and private envoy Windsor, not to mention the Golden Winged Woman who was so devoted to him.

She really wanted to lift his mask and take a good look.

Sennis suppressed her extra emotions and said to Cohen:

"I've already caught the person, come over."

The three walked into a room and saw a young nobleman sitting on a chair in an interrogation room through the monitoring magic circle.

It was Samuel Jones, a confidant and aide of Heisenberg, the chief of the Upper House of the Aristocratic Council.

Inside the interrogation room, although Samuel tried to remain calm, the expression on his face was solemn.

But his slightly trembling hands still revealed the tension in his heart.

Samuel was taken away as soon as he entered the border of the Central Empire.

The people who came to arrest him were the police station in charge of border entry and exit management. The reason given was to cooperate with him to investigate a foreign spy case.

Samuel didn't care too much at first. The police station was very deterrent to ordinary people, but it was nothing to him.

As a senior official of the Aristocratic Council, even the Minister of the Police Department would have to be polite to him.

As for the spy case, it had nothing to do with him.

It was just that these policemen didn't know his identity. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to attack him.

This time, Samuel went to Florence. To be cautious, he didn't carry anything that could prove his true identity.

His external identity was just a jeweler from the Central Empire.

Therefore, when the police came to his door, he couldn't prove his identity for the first time. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to cooperate.

However, his identity was impeccable, and he hadn't done anything illegal or criminal.

The imperial law also stipulates that the maximum detention period for the police department shall not exceed 24 hours. As the Secretary-General of the Legal Committee of the Aristocratic Council of the Central Empire, Samuel kept this law in mind.

It was nothing more than waiting for 24 hours.

However, time passed second by second. In his estimation, let alone 24 hours, it had been 30 hours.

As a transcendent, 30 hours can naturally resist hunger and sleepiness, but this aimless long wait made him feel a little uneasy.

What was even more bizarre was that since he was brought to the interrogation room, he had never seen an outsider again.

What did the other party mean? He couldn't figure it out.

If it was deliberately targeting him, he would find it even harder to believe.

In the territory of the Central Empire, who would dare to target the Upper House of the Aristocratic Council?

Samuel had thought about running away secretly, but he could clearly feel that a powerful existence was secretly watching his every move.

Legendary Rank!

Samuel's face gradually turned pale.

As a senior official of the Imperial Aristocratic Council, he had been living a pampered life, and he naturally had the ability and knowledge.

But he had never encountered such a scene before, and the unease in his heart grew even more.

Cohen chuckled:

"He's about to lose his temper. Presumably, with his identity, this is the first time he's been treated like this."

Sennis said calmly:

"My people are not suitable to meet him, you go."

Cohen didn't refuse. After thinking for a while, he said to Sennis:

"Your Majesty, no matter what truth you hear later, I hope...you can restrain yourself!"

Sennis was stunned for a moment, her fair face, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she replied briefly that she knew.

Cohen gave Isabella a look, and then came to the interrogation room.

Seeing that someone finally appeared, Samuel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, when he saw the attire of the person who came, his heart involuntarily clenched again.

Wearing black clothes and a strange black-patterned mask on his face, he looked like he was up to no good at first glance.

Samuel couldn't say the words of angrily reprimanding the police for not complying with the imperial law that he had thought of in his stomach for a while.

Cohen didn't say anything after entering the interrogation room. He sat directly opposite Samuel, staring at the other party as if he was admiring some interesting prey.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was extremely depressing.

Samuel was stared at by Cohen and felt a little hairy. He couldn't help but open his mouth and said:

"Who are you?

Where are those policemen?"

Cohen chuckled and replied slowly:

"I thought that Mr. Samuel Jones, the Secretary-General of the Legal Committee of the Imperial Aristocratic Council, should angrily reprimand us for not complying with the imperial law when he sees me!"

Samuel's face darkened. The other party knew his true identity!

He had already realized that this was a conspiracy against him.

Who could it be?

Most likely, it was the Chief's political enemy, who wanted to use him as a breakthrough.

Thinking of this, Samuel calmed down instead.

He was not afraid of domestic political struggles. In the current political situation of the Central Empire, only the royal family and the Aristocratic Council were the only two major forces. He didn't pay attention to the other forces.

With his identity, no one would dare to do anything to him.

At most, they would try to get some information from him. Samuel had sufficient confidence and confidence to deal with it.

Thinking like this, Samuel couldn't help but sit up straight. He now represented the face of Chief Heisenberg, and he couldn't lose his share!

Cohen's voice rang from across him:

"There are a few things I want to confirm with Mr. Samuel."

Since his identity had been seen through, Samuel simply stopped pretending, and his tone suddenly became much more arrogant:

"State your position.

I am the Secretary-General of the Legal Committee of the Imperial Aristocratic Council. Ordinary people are not qualified to interrogate me."

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Cohen's mouth, and he said:

"Position?

If you really want to know, I can tell you."

He paused and said in a cold tone:

"Chief of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Effiein Military Commission!"

After hearing Cohen's answer, Samuel was struck by lightning. His eyes widened to the extreme, and the composure and confidence he had just now were swept away.

He couldn't help but stand up and looked at Cohen in astonishment.

What the hell?

The chief of the Effiein Military Intelligence Bureau?

Samuel had an unreal feeling that he shouldn't have come back from Florence.

He shook his head, and Cohen's strange dress suddenly reminded him of someone.

The Lord of Shadows!

Samuel's heart suddenly jumped to his throat. It was really him!

Damn it, why did the Lord of Shadows appear in the Central Empire?

And why could he command the police of the Central Empire to work for him?

In an instant, he thought of more.

Had the other party been staring at him in Florence long ago?

But then a bigger question appeared in his mind. Since he had discovered his true identity long ago, why didn't he attack him in Florence, his territory, but instead let him return home?

Samuel felt his head twitching. The sudden amount of information made him unable to understand.

Cohen said calmly:

"Are you willing to cooperate?"

Samuel took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I don't know how you mobilized the police of our empire.

But I warn you, this is not Effiein. You are privately arresting a senior official of the Central Empire.

Once the news gets out, it will be regarded as the most serious challenge to the dignity of the Central Empire, a consequence that you, including the Effaine behind you, cannot bear."

A hint of a smile flashed in Cohen's eyes as he slowly said:

"Mr. Samuel, don't get excited."

"Since you don't want to talk, how about I talk and you listen?"

Samuel frowned, not knowing what the other party was up to. He stood up coldly, his tone exceptionally stern:

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

"I have nothing to talk to you about. Let me go immediately."

Cohen didn't care about Samuel's hostile attitude at all, and replied with a faint smile:

"That's not necessarily true. I think we still have common topics."

"For example… August 21, 316 of the Continental Calendar."

"Mr. Samuel should have a deep memory of this day!"

Hearing the time mentioned by Cohen, Samuel was stunned for a moment. Before long, his handsome face became bloodless, and his pupils widened, as if some indescribable fear and horror enveloped him.

Cohen poured a glass of water for Samuel and continued:

"How is it, Mr. Samuel? Do you have something to ask me?"

Samuel pushed the glass away, staring at Cohen with his eyes, his voice almost a roar:

"Speak, who told you!"

"How could you know this day!"

Cohen's voice was unhurried as he said:

"Mr. Samuel, of course you told me!"

Samuel suddenly stood up, his emotions becoming extremely angry and irritable, and he roared hysterically:

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I didn't!"

"I never told you!"

Cohen suddenly laughed and pointed at the excited Samuel, saying:

"Only Chief Heisenberg and you know about this matter."

"If you didn't say it, did Heisenberg say it?"

An uncontrollable fear crept into Samuel's heart. His face turned red, and he roared:

"I didn't say it, I didn't say it!"

"It's you, it's you, you are the Child of Prophecy, you are the Child of Prophecy!"

"You predicted it yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Cohen's tone was still calm as he patiently said:

"Okay, let's just say I predicted it myself."

"Then, please tell me, Mr. Samuel, why would I predict such a day for no reason!"

Samuel suddenly froze in place, his nostrils flaring rapidly, each breath seeming to use up all his strength.

Short, sharp gasps came from his throat.

Cohen slowly walked to Samuel's side, his voice like the whisper of a demon, slowly echoing in his ear:

"Guess, if things get to Heisenberg's ears, what will he think?"

"No matter how powerful I am, it is impossible for me to predict such a day for no reason, unless someone gave me a hint, prompting me to predict something."

"For example…"

Cohen's next words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in the ears of Samuel and Empress Klein, who was observing the interrogation:

"The truth about the death of the previous Emperor of the Central Empire!"

With a bang, Samuel seemed to be thrown heavily onto the chair by a pair of invisible hands, his body shaking uncontrollably, as if all his strength had been taken away by fear.

In the observation room, Xenith Klein's dark purple pupils revealed immense shock and confusion, and her aura burst out uncontrollably.

Isabella quickly grasped Xenith's jade hand, and the latter gradually calmed down.

Xenith took a deep breath, her gaze becoming more solemn than ever before.

After Cohen's reminder, she did realize the problem.

Although her father was old, he had always been in good health, and his illness was very sudden.

At that time, the situation was urgent. In order to return and ascend the throne smoothly, she did not consider many things. Now that she thought about it, there were indeed many unreasonable things.

Could it be…

Xenith's slender hand trembled slightly, her chest filled with an unspeakable anger and grief, and she continued to watch the scene in the interrogation room.

Inside the interrogation room, Cohen patted Samuel on the shoulder and said calmly:

"What are you afraid of? You didn't do anything. You are just an informed person. Even if Her Majesty investigates in the future, you can save your life."

Samuel's face was full of despair.

Was he afraid of the Empress?

No, his superior Heisenberg was even more terrifying than the Empress!

That was a person who could talk and laugh with the demon king of hell!

He had no doubt that once things were leaked, Heisenberg would definitely throw him into the hell plane to fend for himself.

Samuel glared at Cohen:

"How could you know about this? Just like you said, you would never predict this day for no reason. Tell me, how did you know?"

Cohen let out a sneer:

"Besides the two of you, there is also a non-human who knows about this!"

"You wouldn't expect the demon king that Heisenberg contacted to have any spirit of contract, would you?"

Samuel felt absurd and looked at Cohen in disbelief, saying:

"The demon king is the demigod closest to the gods on the entire continent. You wouldn't tell me that a demigod told you about his plan with Heisenberg?"

Cohen shrugged slightly and replied:

"You should have investigated me. Don't you know that I had a friendly exchange with the God of War Ares when I was at the second level?"

Samuel was stunned in place. Everything that happened today subverted his worldview.

Cohen coughed lightly and said:

"Okay, I'm not from your Central Empire, and I'm not interested in your dirty political struggles."

"As long as you cooperate obediently next, I won't say a word about today's events to outsiders."

Samuel seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked eagerly:

"Really?"

Cohen said indifferently:

"You only have one way to go, and that is to believe me. Otherwise, your Empress will know the truth immediately."

"Don't think that I can't see your Empress. To tell you the truth, I have a very good friend named Windsor Windrunner!"

"You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this name."

After hearing Windsor's name, Samuel collapsed and nodded in resignation:

"I hope you can keep your word."

Xenith clearly felt Isabella's hand gripping hers tighter.

She turned her head slightly and saw Isabella's cold face.

Xenith couldn't help but find it funny. The agitated emotions just now had subsided a lot. She asked in a low voice:

"Hey, who was first between you and Windsor?"

Isabella's breathing stagnated. Only then did she remember that the good friend beside her seemed to be her rival in love. She stabilized her emotions and replied calmly:

"I didn't expect Her Majesty to be such a gossipy person!"

Xenith didn't care about the aggressiveness in Isabella's words and said to herself:

"Now that I think about it, he probably saved your life in the Emerald Lake War a year ago."

"If I'm not mistaken, the 'Black Tomb' plan should have been successful at the beginning, but he foresaw it in advance."

"He even helped you bring in two Saint-level reinforcements, reversing your fate, right?"

"A hero saves a beauty, and the beauty falls in love. It's really enviable!"

In her words, a strange light appeared in Xenith's eyes.

As a princess who had been pampered since childhood, Xenith also yearned for the love story of a princess and a knight. Unfortunately, at the age when she needed love, a woman forcefully stuffed a mysterious fiancé into her life!

Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Xenith who was slightly lost in thought, and chuckled:

"Your Majesty, if he helps you reveal the truth about your father's death,"

"wouldn't that also be considered a hero saving a beauty in another sense?"

Xenith's expression stagnated, she regained her coldness, and said flatly:

"This Empress doesn't have the habit of snatching husbands from others!"

Leaving aside the tit-for-tat between Xenith and Isabella, in the interrogation room, Samuel had completely given up resistance at this time. Facing Cohen's questioning, he said everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Cohen asked about some specific action plans of Heisenberg against Effaine.

Samuel said everything he knew, revealing most of Heisenberg's plans. Of course, Samuel didn't know anything about some high-end combat power.

It is estimated that even he did not know what forces Heisenberg had contacted.

Finally, Cohen asked a question that he was most concerned about:

"Tell me, why are you targeting Effaine?"

"A small duchy in the Northwest Continent doesn't seem to be worth Heisenberg's effort to plan, does it?"

Samuel sighed and said:

"It's related to your queen, Adeline Angerian."

Hearing this, Xenith outside couldn't help but prick up her ears.

She was not very clear why Heisenberg wanted to deal with Effaine so painstakingly. Now that she heard Samuel say this, she was also very surprised.

Heisenberg was actually for Adeline?

Her lifelong enemy?

Isabella's face next to her showed a look of understanding.

No wonder this bastard didn't hesitate to run to the Central Empire and contact the Central Empress to capture this Samuel. It turned out that the source of everything was Adeline!

Inside the interrogation room, Cohen's expression became much colder, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of killing intent:

"Why?"

Samuel organized his thoughts and said:

"This has to be said from the beginning."

"After Heisenberg assassinated the emperor, he supported the royal family's young princess, Xenith Klein."

"Originally, he regarded Xenith as a puppet, but Her Majesty's ability and skills far exceeded Heisenberg's estimates."

"Not only did she reach a close alliance with the Winged Elves of the Elven Royal Family, but she also secretly won over many domestic nobles."

"Even the several Saints in the country were impressed by her ability and stood on her side."

"The situation facing Heisenberg took a sharp turn for the worse. After all, he did such a rebellious thing as assassinating the emperor, which was a hidden danger sooner or later."

"If he doesn't seize power sooner, his end can be imagined."

"Therefore, he spent a lot of money to find the 'Child of Prophecy' of the Prophecy Church to make a prophecy."

Speaking of this, Samuel couldn't help but take a look at Cohen. How did he feel that the other party was even more powerful than the "Child of Prophecy".

Cohen asked:

"What prophecy?"

Samuel said in a deep voice:

"The only way to suppress Her Majesty Xenith Klein—Queen Adeline Angerian of Effaine!"
