My queen is rebelling!

Cohen summoned Nephthys and told her about the "Bound Church's" arrangement of hidden personnel in the East Suburb Prison.

Following Cohen's instructions, Nephthys reported the matter to Her Majesty the Queen in the name of the Military Intelligence Agency.

She also hinted that the backers of this group came from the Central Empire, and their ultimate goal was Adair herself, urging her to be more vigilant.

After listening to Nephthys's report on the DuPont family and Judge Gore, Adair's face revealed a thoughtful expression, seemingly not particularly surprised that these people were targeting her.

After pondering for a moment, Adair asked Nephthys:

"When did Chief Justice Gore and the DuPont family establish their alliance?"

Nephthys shook her head and said:

"The exact time is unclear, but it should have been quite a while.

At least before Gore became a cabinet member and the National Chief Justice, he had already been in contact with the DuPont family."

Her Majesty the Queen continued to ask:

"You in the Military Intelligence have someone arranged near the DuPont family, correct?"

Nephthys was silent for a moment, then replied:

"There is indeed a comrade of ours lurking there, and these messages were also passed on by him.

However, please understand, Your Majesty, that I cannot reveal his true identity to you without explicit instructions from Master Cohen.

I also hope that Your Majesty can keep this matter confidential."

Adair gave Nephthys a deep look and said:

"This Queen is not interested in your secrets. As long as you are loyal to His Majesty, Effie will provide you with all the support within its power.

You've done well with the Gore and DuPont family matter.

This Queen will draft a detailed battle plan regarding the rebellious members of the 'Bound Church' within the East Suburb Prison, and we may need your help then."

Nephthys immediately stated:

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the Military Intelligence Agency is ready to follow your orders and instructions at any time."

A gentle expression appeared on Adair's face. After a few minutes of pause, she asked:

"As for what you said, that the DuPont family and Gore are backed by a force from the Central Empire, that they are going to interfere in Effie's situation, and that their ultimate goal is me.

Is there any concrete evidence for this?"

Nephthys hesitated for a moment and said:

"Some things I cannot say too bluntly, but Master Cohen believes that Her Majesty the Queen should be more careful. There may be something on Your Majesty that they want to obtain."

Adair replied solemnly:

"This Queen is aware of this matter. Tell your master to protect His Majesty.

He doesn't need to worry about the rest."

Nephthys subtly curled her lips, really wanting to see what kind of expression you would have when you find out Master Cohen's true identity.

Seeing that Adair was so unresponsive, Nephthys didn't say anything else and quietly took her leave.

After Nephthys left, Her Majesty the Queen sat in the Political Affairs Hall, contemplating for a long time. Then, a determined look appeared between her brows, as if she had made a decision. She summoned a palace maid and instructed:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After giving her instructions, Adair returned to her chambers first.

After standing silently for a moment, she suddenly removed all the clothing from her upper body, revealing her porcelain-white and alluring skin and exaggerated curves.

Swan neck, butterfly back, teardrop-shaped and perky chest, standard abdominal muscles intertwined with straight, slender jade legs.

This wonderful body seemed not to exist in the mortal realm.

Adair stood quietly, her jade hand pressed against her chest, her eyes closed in silent incantation. Before long, an extremely cold aura surged from her body.

The magic circle within the chambers also began to flicker at this moment, covering the entire chambers and concealing all signs of turbulence.

Immediately afterward, spots of faint blue light, like stars, flickered and converged on Adair's chest.

Coupled with the snow-white and trembling beautiful body, it released a breathtaking feminine charm—

Powerful, enchanting, aloof, and pure as ice!

Even the most top-tier succubus could not compare to Adair at this moment.

As if accumulating to a peak, the faint blue light suddenly bloomed, instantly spreading around like a tide.

At the same time, Adair's exquisite body was gradually enveloped by a layer of brilliant ice-blue crystal light, which condensed into ancient and mysterious ice patterns on her alluring skin.

Between the flickering of the ice patterns, it seemed to be telling the icy laws of endless years.

These mysterious and profound ice patterns not only did not destroy the beauty of Adair's exquisite body in the slightest.

Instead, they added a bit more captivating charm to her delicate body.

These ice patterns were the deepest secret in Adair's heart.

A secret that even Cohen didn't know!

A cold light appeared in Adair's ice-blue eyes. Her delicate hand gently stroked these lines on her body, and she murmured in a low voice:

"The people of the Central Empire are targeting me, presumably for this thing.

Is it Xena Klein, or someone else?

Having such great energy, Xena is more suspicious.

Is it to eliminate the inner demon of being defeated by me a few years ago?

It's a pity you shouldn't have attacked him!

I was still soft-hearted to you back then. If I had known there would be this day, I should have directly crippled you in the first place!"

Adair had no respect or fear for the emperor of the most powerful empire of mankind; there was only cold killing intent.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Adair had another chance, she would definitely not let Xena return to the Central Empire safely!

A deep train of thought gathered between Adair's brows. The information Nephthys sent to her opened up many ideas and gave her a new perspective on many previous events.

For example, the "Black Tomb's" attack on Cohen more than a year ago.

The reason why the people of "Black Tomb" targeted Effie was probably because they noticed the uniqueness of her body.

Their real target should be herself. Attacking Cohen was to create national unrest, seize the opportunity to overthrow the Corleone royal family, and deprive her of her honor as the Queen of Effie.

Effie is a country with thousands of years of heritage. Although its national strength and size cannot compare with those empires occupying the mainland and kingdoms dominating one side, its monarch can still be called a king and can still be called His Majesty.

It is because the Corleone family has the blood of the gods and has made great contributions and indelible contributions to resisting the attacks of the Hell Abyss and the ravages of demons and devils.

All countries that participated in the Divine-Devil War participated in the formulation of the "Divine-Devil Charter" after the end of the war and are one of the contracting countries of the "Divine-Devil Charter."

Cohen was able to subdue "Dread Demon" Akdimon with the "Divine-Devil Charter" when adventuring in the "Starfall Valley" before, relying on this relationship.

It was also from then on that the Corleone Grand Duke family, which founded Effie, became the Corleone royal family.

Therefore, Adair Angrain, as the Queen of Effie, is also protected by the "Divine-Devil Charter."

The "Divine-Devil Charter" was jointly promulgated by several powerful divine power gods among humans—

[God of Contract and Fairness]: Cavendish Libra.

[God of Prophecy]: Madola Prophet.

[God of Books and Knowledge]: Aeon Wisdom.

[God of Truth and Memory]: Lothian Stealth.

[God of Combat and War]: Ares Beacon.

Jointly guarantee the authority and effectiveness of the "Divine-Devil Charter."

And [Goddess of Luck] Selena Fortune and [Goddess of Doom] Morian Disaster Shadow are responsible for blessing the power of luck and doom attributes.

To deal with the Queen of Effie, one of the agreement countries of the "Divine-Devil Charter," one must bear the double blessing of one's own power of doom and the opponent's power of luck.

If you are unlucky, you may even alarm a powerful divine power god.

Because in principle, the "Divine-Devil Charter" does not allow the contracting countries to attack each other's monarchs.

The intelligent Adair quickly figured out everything. These enemies in the dark, the turbulent situation in Effie, are ultimately to overthrow the Corleone royal family, deprive her of her queen status, and thus better deal with herself.

Although the "Divine-Devil Charter" stipulates the power of the Corleone royal family, it does not restrict domestic rebellions.

If the Corleone royal family is overthrown, then the Corleone family will also lose its privileges in the "Divine-Devil Charter."

Simply put, for those gods who are high above, they don't mind giving a seat and guaranteeing the basic power of this seat.

But as for who will sit in this seat, they don't care.

Thinking of this, a trace of annoyance appeared on Adair's face:

"In this way, I have implicated him. Is it because I have cultivated too fast and attracted the attention of those people?

Perhaps I shouldn't have married him so early. If I didn't become his queen, these people wouldn't attack him."

Adair clenched her jade hand and sighed softly, her heart filled with complex emotions.

Until familiar breath and footsteps came from outside the door.

Adair took back the ice patterns, put on her clothes, put on a gentle expression on her face, and looked at Cohen who walked in.

Cohen was also slightly surprised when he received the news. He didn't know why Queen Sister suddenly thought of looking for him.

And still want to meet in the bedroom.

Could it be that the news that Nephthys hinted at just now gave Queen Sister other ideas?

Cohen walked into the bedroom with a belly full of doubts.

Gently wrinkled his nose and smelled a good fragrance.

When Adair saw Cohen's actions, a trace of crimson involuntarily appeared under her ears.

Oops, I relaxed my breath when I took off my clothes just now, and now her body odor is permeating the bedroom.

Adair coughed lightly, and her delicate hand pinched a magic trick without a trace, and the air in the bedroom suddenly became much cooler.

Then she opened her red lips and shifted Cohen's attention:

"What is His Majesty's current cultivation level?"

Cohen hasn't practiced much these days, and he hasn't gone out to fight monsters and level up. He is still at the peak of the fourth level.

However, this cultivation progress is enough to surprise Adair.

After Cohen answered, Adair opened her red lips slightly and continued:

"Although His Majesty has cultivated very quickly, I hope that His Majesty will not slack off and can continue to maintain it.

It's best to enter the golden stage as soon as possible."

A surge of surprise welled up in Cohen's heart. Although Adair occasionally urged him to practice before, she had always asked him to progress step by step and had never made such a clear request.

Adair naturally noticed Cohen's doubts, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, and said:

"Your Majesty, please extend your hand."

Cohen did as he was told.

Adair grasped Cohen's hand, their fingers intertwined.

Before any ambiguous atmosphere could develop, Cohen felt a chill in his palm, as if something was burrowing into his body.

At the same time, mysterious ice纹 patterns began to appear on Adair's slender arms.

When Cohen saw the ice纹 patterns on Adair's arm, a thunderclap seemed to explode in his mind, and he couldn't help but be horrified and moved, his eyes widening greatly.

After the shock, he quickly understood what Adair was about to do, and in his anxiety, he let out a painful wail:

"Sister, it hurts, I can't bear it."

Adair looked at Cohen's slightly distorted face, her jade countenance paused, she sighed softly, and withdrew her hand.

The ice纹 patterns that were about to be imprinted on Cohen's hand gradually dimmed and dissipated, returning to her body.

When Cohen saw that Adair had withdrawn her hand and the ice纹 patterns were still safely on her body, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel angry and anxious, and really wanted to hug Adair and spank her a few times.

She was being reckless; this kind of thing couldn't be given to others casually!

However, his heart was quickly filled with bittersweet emotion—in the entire Demon Tide Continent, probably very few people would willingly give this kind of thing to someone else after obtaining it.

Seeing the looming ice纹 patterns on Adair's body, Cohen finally understood why the "Black Tomb" gang had been painstakingly targeting Adair.

The Queen has something like this on her!

After Adair withdrew her hand, her ice-blue eyes trembled slightly, and an uncontrollable moan escaped her throat.

Obviously, the previous action had also caused great damage to her body.

If Cohen hadn't been there, she would have already started adjusting her breathing to heal.

Cohen felt another pang of heartache.

Adair took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed her injuries, her face returned to calmness, and she said with a faint smile:

"That's why I want Your Majesty to cultivate to the Gold rank as soon as possible.

Sister has a gift to give to Your Majesty, but you can't bear it now. Wait until Your Majesty has a Golden body."

Cohen felt a little dizzy. Who told this silly woman that this thing could be transferred back and forth between two people?

Alright, anyway, he would reveal everything to her when he reached the Gold rank.

He would explain it to her then.

Adair was silent for a while, then continued:

"There's one more thing. I hope Your Majesty can be mentally prepared.

If there are any changes in the future, Sister may have to leave Effie for a while.

Please be sure to trust Sister's father. As long as Prime Minister and Prince Haug are by your side, Your Majesty and Effie's safety will not be a problem."

Cohen stared at Adair's beautiful face without saying a word.

He already understood the reason for Adair's unusual behavior today.

Nephthys must have told the Queen that she was being targeted by the people of the Central Empire.

The intelligent Adair also understood the reason why those people were targeting her.

Was the Queen preparing to leave Effie alone to attract firepower in the event of future turmoil in Effie?

This woman was really stupid!

Cohen tried to suppress the surging emotions, averted his gaze, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I know, but I still hope to face it with Sister."

After saying that, Cohen didn't stay any longer and left without waiting for Adair to reply.

He wanted to give the Queen space to adjust her breathing and heal.

After Cohen left, Adair could no longer hold on, and collapsed on the bed, panting slightly, sweat beading on her forehead, and a few traces of paleness appeared on her already dazzlingly white skin.

She closed her eyes to adjust her breathing, and after a long time, the color of her skin returned to normal.

Adair looked at the ice纹 patterns on her hand, bit her red lip lightly, and sighed.

The Silver body was indeed too weak to withstand the backlash of this thing. It seemed that she had to wait until he advanced to the Gold rank before he had the ability to accept it.

Adair murmured in a low voice:

"I hope I can hold on until the moment you advance to the Gold rank…"

…

Nephthys noticed that Cohen was not in a good mood after he came back. This was the first time she had seen so many complex expressions on Cohen's face.

Considering that he had just come from Queen's Highness, Nephthys had many guesses in an instant.

Did he quarrel with Adair?

That shouldn't be. No matter what, Cohen was just a few-year-old child in the eyes of Queen's Highness. Adair wouldn't bother to be angry with him.

Cohen came back to his senses and found Nephthys staring at him intently, as if studying something.

He敛去 gathered his complex emotions, restored his gentle smile, and asked:

"Did Adair tell you how to deal with those rebellious elements lurking in the Eastern Suburbs Prison?"

Nephthys pouted her thin lips, seemingly slightly dissatisfied with Cohen's deliberate concealment.

She hoped that Cohen could confide in her. She would be a good tree hole to help Cohen relieve his worries.

Cohen naturally didn't know what Nephthys was thinking. In his eyes, Nephthys had always been a little sister who needed care, and he naturally didn't want to reveal fragile emotions in front of his sister.

Seeing that Cohen had no intention of confiding, Nephthys secretly complained, and quickly began to talk about business:

"Her Highness said that she will formulate a battle plan. I estimate that she will take action against those people soon.

But she definitely can't alarm outsiders. It depends on how the plan goes."

Cohen also deeply agreed with this. As time went on, the great turmoil in Effie might happen at any time.

It was very necessary to eliminate such a force that seriously threatened the situation in advance.

With the current strength of Effie and Queen, it was not difficult to solve such a team of transcendent beings. The key was not to alarm Gore and the DuPont family.

It depended on how Queen was planning.

Without letting Cohen wait too long, Adair soon called Nephthys away again.

Obviously, she already had a suitable plan.

When Nephthys stepped into Adair's political affairs hall, she found that Prime Minister Angus was also there.

Prince Haug and Earl Snape were also standing not far away.

In addition, there was a middle-aged woman. Nephthys had heard Prince Haug introduce this woman, named Amelia Austin.

She was an elder of the Senate, with the strength of the middle stage of the Legendary rank. She was the only female Legendary rank in Effie.

She was also the closest ally of the Angerian family and had a blood relationship with Adair.

After the death of the late king, the Angerian family was able to quickly stabilize the situation, which was inseparable from the support of Elder Amelia.

Seeing Nephthys come in, Adair made a gesture to wait a moment and said:

"Miss Nephthys, please report the situation to Prince Haug and the others in detail again.

I still have some political affairs to deal with here. After I'm done, we'll discuss the specific plan."

Nephthys then glanced at the thick stack of documents that needed to be approved and replied on Adair's desk, and felt a complex emotion in her heart.

Everyone saw the glamorous appearance of the Angerian family, and Adair's high position and authority as the Queen of a country.

But no one saw what Adair had paid.

A twenty-something-year-old woman, who should have been the most beautiful and romantic flower season, was bound to this small desk.

She dealt with boring and tedious documents all day long, and also had to deal with the intrigues between courtiers and the rebellious attacks at home and abroad.

Nephthys had also been a political affairs official in the "Endless Alliance" for a period of time and could understand Adair's hardships and difficulties.

She secretly sighed, if she were a man, she would also be deeply fascinated and infatuated with such a woman.

Nephthys retracted her thoughts and introduced to Prime Minister Angus, Prince Haug, Earl Snape, and Elder Amelia about the collusion between Chief Justice Gore and the DuPont family, and the fact that a large number of core members from the "Bound Church" had been placed in the Eastern Suburbs Prison.

Prince Haug and Earl Snape, as high-level officials of the Military Intelligence Bureau, had naturally known this information for a long time and did not have any special expressions.

But after Prime Minister Angus heard this, the expression on his face became extremely complicated.

Chief Justice Gore was promoted by him single-handedly. In his opinion, although this person had many minor problems, his work ability and interpersonal communication were still fine.

The Prime Minister never expected that he would be a rebellious element with ulterior motives.

If this were to spread, where would the Prime Minister's face be?

As time went on, Adair also finished dealing with political affairs and walked over and said:

"Hiding such a group of rebels in the Eastern Suburbs Prison is a huge threat to His Majesty and the safety of the palace.

We must eliminate them as early as possible and as quickly as possible, and we must not publicize it or make too much noise."

Several people expressed their agreement.

Adair continued:

"According to the information from the Military Intelligence, there are ten Gold-rank transcendent beings, more than fifty Silver-rank, and hundreds of Bronze-rank inside.

Although the force is not small, it is fortunate that there is no Legendary rank, and it will not be too troublesome to solve them.

The problem is not to publicize it."

Prince Haug frowned slightly:

"If Elder Amelia and I join forces, we can solve them all without much effort.

But we must use the domain, so the movement will be too big.

Moreover, Gore and the DuPont family will definitely pay attention to the movements of the Eastern Suburbs Prison from time to time. Once they find that the people inside are not there, things will also be exposed!"

Adair nodded slightly and said:

"What Uncle Wang said is exactly the problem we are currently encountering.

I have a plan here, but it requires the cooperation of your Military Intelligence Bureau."

Speaking, Adair shifted her gaze to Nephthys and continued:

"More accurately, it needs the help of your teacher and the person under him who is lurking beside the DuPont family!"
