My queen is rebelling!

（Thank you to book friend “Marry a Name, the Sun” for the ten consecutive rewards, thank you boss!）

Cohen's suddenly stern tone made the already silent Hall of Government Affairs even more tense and heavy.

Cohen looked at Prince Haug nearby.

Prince Haug slowly got up and sent copies of materials to the ministers.

The materials listed some names and some of the things these people had done.

They were nothing more than people who had opposed, attacked, and slandered Adair over the years.

After seeing the list, many people looked terrified. The number of people on the list, the detail of the materials, and the sufficiency of the evidence made them feel deeply afraid.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes hidden in the dark, watching their every move.

Associating this with Prince Haug's other identity, a name emerged in everyone's mind—

The Effien Military Committee's Investigation and Statistics Bureau!

Cohen looked at the expressions of the people and thought, in troubled times, secret service politics is still the most practical.

Only in this way can these restless nobles be deterred.

Those who could come to the Hall of Government Affairs to attend the meeting were naturally high-ranking officials. These people looked at the names on the list and fell into all sorts of complex emotions.

Some of the names on it were their trusted subordinates, some were their relatives and friends, and some were even themselves.

They couldn't help but show terrified expressions, and they all turned their pleading eyes to their Prime Minister!

They didn't dare to ask the King and Queen, so they could only place their hopes on the Queen's father, the Prime Minister, who they dealt with the most.

Prime Minister Angus couldn't help but find himself in a difficult position. Facing the pleading expressions of many old friends and subordinates, he looked at his daughter.

Adair was also slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the first thing Cohen would do after taking power would be to stand up for her.

Although she felt extremely warm in her heart, if the officials on the list were all dealt with, Effien's bureaucratic system would be cut by at least a quarter.

She looked at Cohen and noticed that he gave her an almost imperceptible wink. Adair slightly understood, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly:

“Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Although these people are hateful, their crimes do not warrant death.

Except for a few ringleaders, it would be better to give leniency to the rest of the accomplices, considering that they have worked for Effien for so many years.”

Hearing what Her Majesty the Queen said, a gleam of light reappeared in the eyes of the ministers.

Cohen pretended to ponder for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

Cohen's voice echoed throughout the Hall of Government Affairs, and no one dared to raise any objections.

Cohen paused for a moment and continued:

“During this Emerald Green City Defense War, most of the senators of the Senate betrayed us. This institution, which was supposed to protect the royal family and ensure the safety of the core leaders, has instead become an accomplice of the opposing forces, causing extremely bad impacts and consequences.

I propose that Effien abolish the Senate from now on.

A new institution called the ‘Special Operations Committee’ will be established.

All transcendents who break through the Legendary rank can choose to join the Special Operations Committee and become special operations commissioners of the country. The benefits and treatments will be implemented with reference to the elders of the Senate.

Does anyone have any objections?”

How dare the ministers have any objections? They could only watch as the Senate system, which had existed in Effien for thousands of years, was swept into the garbage heap of history.

From now on, no organization or force in Effien would be able to restrain the power of the King.

Cohen continued:

“I will concurrently serve as the director of the Special Operations Committee, and the Queen will concurrently serve as the deputy director and the director of the office. If everyone has no other opinions, then this matter is settled.

Prime Minister, after the meeting, hurry up and take the time to handle it.”

Prime Minister Angus stood up and responded.

Cohen then said:

“In this Effien rebellion, in addition to the Queen and Prince Haug, there were also many comrades who silently contributed behind the scenes and made indelible contributions to the successful suppression of the rebellion.

Among them, three people have made the most significant contributions.

They are Arnold Constin, General of the Orc Legion.

Asuna Iliat, the Queen's squire knight.

Herman Donald, the former executive secretary of Baron Gore, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.”

As Cohen's voice fell, the three stood up in turn.

As the three who were specially approved to attend the cabinet meeting, the ministers had noticed them long ago.

Among the three, they were most familiar with Asuna and Herman.

The former was the squire knight personally conferred by Her Majesty the Queen, and during the great turmoil, she revealed her identity as a dragon-riding warrior, which was extremely shocking.

As the executive secretary of Baron Gore, the latter had also dealt with many ministers. When they heard that His Majesty the King had listed the rebellious minister Gore's executive secretary as one of the three great heroes, they immediately realized that this Secretary Herman was very likely an intelligence agent that His Majesty had planted by Gore's side.

For a time, the ministers' awe of Cohen deepened. His Majesty had already seen through Gore's and the DuPont family's disloyal intentions, and even planted lurking personnel. This made the ministers feel a little uneasy about the people around them.

Even a shrewd person like Gore had an eye planted next to him by His Majesty without him knowing it. Could it be that there were also His Majesty's informants around them?

This was exactly the effect that Cohen wanted to achieve.

Apart from Asuna and Herman, this General Arnold Constin seemed much more unfamiliar.

But it was this person who commanded the 20,000 elite-level Orc Legion and swept away the elite troops of the two great empires. Arnold's unparalleled command and leadership shocked everyone present at the time.

Therefore, Cohen singled out these three people for commendation, and the ministers had no reason to object, whether publicly or privately.

Immediately, a minister spoke up to support them, suggesting that the three be rewarded.

Cohen looked at the person who spoke, Seaton, the Minister of Four Borders Affairs, who also had relatives in the Darkwing family of the Pale Wings.

Cohen chuckled:

“Of course they must be rewarded, and they must be greatly rewarded!”

Then, Cohen spoke, and as soon as he spoke, everyone was horrified:

“I propose to grant Herman Donaldson the hereditary noble title of Viscount, and the fiefdom will be the territory of the former DuPont Viscount family!

Promote Viscount Herman to Deputy Minister of the National Ministry of Justice, Assistant to the Chief Justice, and Director of the Secretariat of the Effien Military Committee's Investigation and Statistics Bureau.”

As soon as these words came out, a huge wave was set off in the Hall of Government Affairs!

Directly conferring a national hereditary viscount on a secretary who was originally unknown, mediocre, and had no title at all?

Even with a territory!

This was unprecedented in the entire history of Effien.

Having developed for thousands of years, the noble territories throughout Effien had long been divided up. The birth of each hereditary noble title had to go through countless rounds of fighting and competition.

The intensity was no less than a war.

But now, with a casual sentence from His Majesty the King, he directly gave away a hereditary viscount and an entire viscount's territory.

If the person sitting on the throne was not the King who had annihilated the allied forces of the two great empires, personally forced the direct bloodline of the royal family to commit suicide, and wiped out the five rebellious elders of the Senate, ministers would have stood up to object long ago.

The rebellion of the DuPont family and the Grand Duke of the Southern Border led to a large number of unowned noble territories in the country. Countless dignitaries had long been eyeing these two big cakes, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

But with a single sentence from His Majesty the King, he directly took away the DuPont family's viscount territory, making many people feel unacceptable.

Looking at the rewards behind, directly promoting him from an executive secretary to the position of Deputy Minister of the National Ministry of Justice and Assistant to the Chief Justice was almost openly making him a candidate for the next Chief Justice.

This Herman must be no more than forty years old this year. A cabinet minister who is less than forty years old?

The ministers only felt their hearts pounding. Compared with the first two, the last director of the Secretariat of the Military Statistics Bureau seemed less eye-catching.

However, some clever people saw that the so-called Secretariat of the Military Statistics Bureau was to serve the director of the Military Statistics Bureau alone, and the director of the Military Statistics Bureau was personally held by His Majesty the King.

This also meant that Herman's secretariat was His Majesty the King's office, which was almost equivalent to taking away most of the power of the cabinet, equivalent to a small cabinet.

Faced with Cohen's proposal, Herman's body trembled violently. Not only did these ministers not dare to believe it, but Herman himself could hardly believe it.

Keen's generous rewards completely surprised him. A hereditary viscount title was one thing, but to actually be a landed noble was something Herman couldn't believe.

His eyes welled up with tears as he suddenly recalled the promise Keen made to him when they first met: "In a year, I'll make that bastard viscount politely and respectfully marry his daughter to you!"

Herman dared to guarantee that once the news of today's cabinet meeting spread, his first love's father would definitely offer his daughter with both hands.

Herman's lips moved, but he didn't say anything more. He was familiar with Keen's character.

As long as you work diligently, there's no need to say anything else.

Herman's reward announcement came to an end, and not a single minister voiced any objections.

Firstly, they were intimidated by Keen's power, and secondly, it was because of the list from earlier.

The ministers present were more or less involved with the people on the list, and even those who weren't had some shady pasts.

After witnessing the military intelligence bureau's ability to gather information so thoroughly, who dared to guarantee that His Majesty the King didn't have dirt on them?

Keen scanned the crowd, chuckled inwardly, and continued:

"Regarding the Queen's knight attendant, Asuna Iliad's reward…"

Keen deliberately paused, and the ministers pricked up their ears, waiting for Keen's words.

When His Majesty the King read out these three names, it was clearly in order of merit.

Now that Herman, the least meritorious of the three, had received such a great reward, let alone the other two.

Coupled with Asuna's exquisite beauty, many secretly wondered if this exceptionally talented Valkyrie also held the position of His Majesty the King's bed companion.

If that were the case, wouldn't the rewards she received be even more shocking?

Some even secretly turned their gazes to Her Majesty the Queen, wanting to discern her attitude towards this young and beautiful knight attendant from her expression.

Her Majesty the Queen probably wouldn't tolerate another equally outstanding and beautiful woman appearing frequently by His Majesty the King's side.

Unfortunately, Her Majesty the Queen remained as calm as a placid lake, with no change in expression on her exquisite jade face.

Just as everyone's thoughts were racing, Keen's voice rang out. When these few words entered the ears of the ministers, everyone below the stage, including Prime Minister Angus, couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

Keen's voice carried an undeniable determination, steady and powerful:

"I intend to confer upon the Dragon Rider Asuna Iliad, the title of Red Dragon Duchess!

All the territories of the former Southern Grand Duke will belong to the Red Dragon Duchess!"

Keen's words were like dropping a boulder, instantly stirring up a storm in the quiet council chamber.

Red Dragon Duchess!

All the territories of the former Southern Grand Duke?

The expressions on the ministers' faces were varied and incredible as they looked at His Majesty the King, who calmly said these words.

This was one of the four largest grand duchies in the entire country!

To bestow it so lightly upon a young girl?

On what basis?

Even if she was a Dragon Rider, one in a million, even if she had made unparalleled contributions in suppressing the rebellion, this reward was too great!

The dukes of the four regions, which ancestor wasn't a founding hero who fought alongside Corleone's ancestors to conquer the world?

Now, to transfer all this power, prestige, and influence to a young woman in her twenties, even if Keen was sitting on the throne, the ministers could no longer remain silent.

Asuna, upon hearing Keen's words, also looked surprised and turned to Keen, only to find him chatting and laughing with the Queen, completely disregarding the council chamber that was about to explode.

Immediately, she became annoyed, snorted softly, and turned her face away.

Asuna had also come from a noble background since she was a child, and knew the value of a hereditary duke's noble title and the grand duchy, but she wasn't too interested in these things. She still hoped to be by Keen's side.

Finally, under the encouraging gazes of the ministers, one minister was pushed forward as a representative to advise His Majesty the King.

Keen stopped his little movements of teasing Adair under the table, and his eyes flickered when he saw the person who came forward.

It was Baron Holt, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs who was seriously ill.

In order to remove Baron Gore from the position of Grand Justice, the Queen had Baron Holt resign from his position and gave him the idle position of Lord Privy Seal, allowing him to recuperate.

Today was the first day after His Majesty the King took power, and even if Baron Holt was about to die, he had to force himself to attend the meeting.

Baron Holt was the kind of old-fashioned noble knight, meticulous in his actions, and had great prestige and influence in Effie.

Before Prime Minister Angus used his precious daughter to ascend to the position of prime minister, Baron Holt had always been the first candidate for the next national prime minister.

In fact, it can be seen from his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs that Holt, as a powerful cabinet member second only to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Military Affairs, had always been deeply trusted by Keen's father and mother.

Holt's personal abilities were also very outstanding, with deep and keen political insight, able to quickly and accurately grasp the key threads in complex and turbulent international situations.

He had served as Effie's envoy to the Western Regions Empire, the Northern Regions Empire, and the Charter Treaty Organization, had rich diplomatic experience, and his words were sharp and infectious. It can be said that he was supporting Effie's diplomatic image with his own strength.

In Keen's words from his previous life, this Baron Holt was the minister of state left to him by Keen's father.

Unfortunately, Baron Holt's cultivation talent was not good, and he had never entered the extraordinary realm. As he grew older, his physical condition deteriorated rapidly. Especially after the late king's death and Angus's entry into the court to take power, Baron Holt was even more severely hit. After losing the opportunity to become prime minister, his entire spirit declined.

His physical condition was also getting worse day by day, and it looked like he didn't have many days to live.

Keen was not surprised that these ministers pushed Baron Holt out as a representative.

Whether it was seniority, prestige, or the fearlessness of someone who was about to die, Holt was the obvious choice.

Not to mention that Baron Holt was originally the kind of extremely rigid, conservative, and stubborn old-fashioned noble. He was naturally firmly opposed to Keen's approach, which was clearly "going to change the ancestral rules."

Keen expected Holt to object, so he had already thought of countermeasures.

While thinking, Holt's weak voice rang out:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Keen said in a gentle tone:

"Minister Holt, please speak."

Holt:

"Your Majesty wants to reward those who have made meritorious contributions, and I have no objections, but the four regions and the four territories are the special honors possessed by the four knights who opened up the territory and made founding achievements with Corleone's ancestors. Your Majesty so easily bestows these honors on a beautiful young girl, it will inevitably give rise to many unfounded criticisms."

What unfounded criticisms? It was nothing more than saying that Keen was employing people based on favoritism and had made his lover a grand duchess. Baron Holt didn't say it so explicitly, but Keen could hear it.

He said calmly:

"Minister Holt, you've worried too much. I'm not afraid of any rumors. As for the merits of opening up territory that you mentioned… there are some things you may not know.

I also have some forces in the 'Lost Land'. This force was established with the help of the Red Dragon Duchess from scratch, and she has always been helping to manage and develop it as the highest commander.

It can be said that the reason I was able to come up with so many resources and trump cards in the Battle of the Emerald City was inseparable from the support of the 'Lost Land' forces.

The Red Dragon Duchess's contribution is enough to rival the so-called opening up of territory by the four region ministers!"

After Keen finished speaking, the atmosphere in the council chamber was much quieter. Although the ministers still had dissatisfaction and doubts in their hearts, this reason at least made them feel more acceptable in their hearts.

They had mostly heard of places like the "Lost Land". Even the five great empires couldn't easily establish a force there. If Asuna really established a force there that could provide Effie with various resource supports, as His Majesty said, then her contribution would indeed be justified.

It can also be considered as opening up territory for Effie.

Keen looked at Holt and continued:

"Minister Holt, I heard my father often mention you when I was young, saying that you are a rare capable minister and a prudent strategist in Effie. I still hope that you can contribute more in the future and continue to shine for Effie's diplomatic endeavors!"

Keen's gentle offensive made Holt's eyes a little hot. Indeed, as an old minister who had served Effie for most of his life, he certainly wanted to see Effie become stronger step by step.

Now, Cohen had shown him this hope, and of course, he wanted to burn once more for the rise of Effein, but his body ultimately wouldn't allow it.

Baron Holt's tone became much stronger and more sincere:

“Thanks to the late King and His Majesty's kindness, this old minister also wants to continue to contribute to the country, but my body…”

Baron Holt sighed deeply, saying nothing more.

Cohen chuckled and said:

“A millennium-old Elven Sacred Fruit is enough to allow Baron to shine and generate heat for Effein for another thirty years, wouldn't it!”

Cohen's words instantly caused a stir of astonishment in the council hall.

Millennium-old Elven Sacred Fruit?

That was a rare treasure only possessed by the Elven royal family. Even for a dying old man, just one fruit could immediately extend his life by fifty years. This was a rare item that only appeared among the upper echelons of the Five Great Empires.

For a time, gazes of envy, fervor, and jealousy swept back and forth over Baron Holt.

Baron Holt was also stunned, his whole body trembling, his eyes filled with unbelievable light.

Cohen had actually planned for Baron Holt long ago. In the future changes in the situation, diplomacy and military affairs were equally important, the two legs supporting Effein's forward development.

Military affairs could ensure that Effein defeated its enemies, while diplomacy could allow Effein to seize more benefits from the defeated enemies.

It could also ensure that it would not be subjected to a joint attack by the nations.

At this time, throwing out a millennium-old Elven Sacred Fruit was both to give a sweet date after a beating, and also sincerely wanted to subdue this old minister who had worked for the Corleone royal family his whole life.

Only Yadel, sitting next to Cohen, pinched Cohen hard when no one was paying attention.

Needless to say, this millennium-old Elven Sacred Fruit must have been obtained by Cohen from Winsader.

The corner of Cohen's mouth twitched slightly. It hurt. You wait, tonight I'll make you hurt too!

Cohen suppressed his thoughts and continued:

“To be frank with everyone, I have more than one Elven Sacred Fruit, especially those that have been aged for years.

This millennium-old Elven Sacred Fruit is to commend Minister Holt for his diligent and hardworking work over the past few decades.

As for the rest, it will depend on your performance.”

The eyes of the ministers suddenly became much more fiery. They knew that Cohen was not bluffing them.

Most people saw it a few days ago when Effein quelled the rebellion. His Majesty the King has a deep friendship with a Winged Elf princess, and it is not difficult to obtain a few Elven Sacred Fruits.

Who would dislike having more things that could prolong life?

With Holt's defection, the ministers did not object any further. In addition, with Cohen's generous conditions, the ministers temporarily acquiesced to Cohen's ennoblement of Asuna.

Next was the final highlight, the ennoblement of the greatest hero, Arnold.

With the previous two as a foundation, the ministers were also mentally prepared.

Cohen's voice slowly rang out:

“Appoint Arnold Constantine as a hereditary marquis of the nation, and grant the title of marshal.

Appoint Marshal Constantine as a member of the Effein Military Commission, Deputy Minister of Defense, Assistant Minister of Military Affairs, and Chief of Staff of the Capital Garrison Headquarters.

The Orc Legion under his command is granted the army title – [Tiger Brave Army], becoming the first fully established elite-level army in Effein, commanded by Marshal Constantine.”

The newest and most complete novels are at Liu Jiu Shu Ba (6_9_s_h_u_b_a.c_o_m)!

Hearing Cohen's announcement, everyone was already numb with shock.

Hereditary marquis… well, since no one has taken over the power of Viscount Collins, who was publicly killed by Her Majesty the Queen last time, simply pack it up and give it to this popular marshal.

After all, he is the commander of the first elite-level army since the founding of Effein, which the ministers can accept more.

As for the subsequent Deputy Minister of Defense, Assistant Minister of Military Affairs… needless to say, it is also paving the way for Arnold to serve as Minister of Military Affairs in the future.

The first meeting after Cohen's personal rule, the future small team has taken initial shape.

After the reprimands and rewards were completed, the meeting was about to come to an end. Near the end of the meeting, Cohen suddenly thought of something and spoke again:

“By the way, although I am now in personal rule, I still have a lot of things to do, and sometimes I am not even in Effein, so I may not be able to spare too much time to inquire about national affairs.

In the future, everyone should follow the previous practice.

The Queen's exclusive office does not need to be revoked. Except for military affairs, all government affairs are still approved by the Queen, and the Queen's personal approval is equally effective as my signature.

Meeting adjourned!”

Everyone looked at the disappearing King and the Queen remaining on the throne, looking at each other in dismay.

What did they just hear?

The king of a country even has to leave his country frequently?

Compared to this, the impact of letting the Queen continue to hold power was much smaller.

Anger had already surged in Yadel's heart. This bastard, this posture means he wants to sneak out again!

Regardless of whether he is doing serious business, the thought that there are still so many vixens outside watching covetously makes Yadel angry.

Yadel suppressed the emotions in her heart, her cold gaze swept over the ministers, and said coldly:

“All the decisions announced by His Majesty just now must be implemented within three days. If they are not implemented in place, you have all experienced the previous methods of this palace, so I will not warn you one by one. Meeting adjourned!”

When the ministers saw Her Majesty the Queen's familiar style, they couldn't help but feel apprehensive and began to miss His Majesty the King who had just left.

They even felt that it would be better to let His Majesty come back to take power, at least His Majesty seemed easier to communicate with than the legendary Queen, who was as cold as a mountain of ice.

…

Cohen returned to the study and waited for a moment before hearing a series of crisp footsteps, followed by a knock on the door.

Cohen was not surprised, responded, and Asuna pushed the door open and walked in, with a complicated expression on her face.

Cohen knew that Asuna would definitely come to him, so he had already prepared, brewed Asuna's favorite brand of black tea early, and handed it to her directly.

Asuna looked at the attentive Cohen, her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she sighed:

“Your Majesty, why did you seal the Southern Territory to me without saying hello?”

Cohen grabbed Asuna's white and tender little hand, pulled her to his side, and asked in a low voice:

“What's wrong? That's a genuine duchy, and I don't know how many people are fighting to get it.”

A blush appeared on Asuna's smooth jade-like face, and she said in a low voice:

“Your Majesty's actions make outsiders think of me, even more. Enfeoffing a duke is already presumptuous enough, and now I have to take over the entire Southern Territory… Now people will say that I am even more…”

Cohen reached out and lifted Asuna's chin, his eyes filled with a smile:

“Say you are what?

A mistress kept by His Majesty the King?

What, is a dignified Dragon Knight afraid of these rumors?”

Asuna rolled her eyes at Cohen and asked:

“Your Majesty, don't be so improper, be careful that Her Majesty the Queen hears and punishes you.”

Black lines appeared on Cohen's forehead. Do I look like someone who is afraid of the Queen?

Cohen lightly patted Asuna's jade buttocks, stirring up a wave. Asuna quickly jumped away and said angrily:

“If Your Majesty does this again, I can complain to Her Majesty the Queen and say that you are bullying me.”

How could Asuna, a mere fifth-level cultivator, escape Cohen's clutches? Magic power surged in his hand, and a dragon-shaped rope tightly bound Asuna, completely revealing her fiery figure.

Cohen couldn't help but sigh secretly. It was truly a case of slender branches bearing abundant fruit. Well, Asuna's "weapons" could be ranked in the top three.

He pinched Asuna's cheek and said fiercely:

“Try calling me Your Majesty again?”

“Your… Sir, don't mess around, let me go quickly, what if Her Highness sees it later.”

Only then did Cohen loosen the rope, looking at Asuna, who jumped out at once, putting her hands in front of her chest in a defensive posture, and said with a smile:

“Okay, I'm not playing anymore. I'm here to talk to you about serious business, about your appointment.”

Asuna glared at Cohen reproachfully and sat back down.

Cohen said seriously:

“There is a special purpose for enfeoffing you to the Southern Territory. The Southern Territory is adjacent to the Ceylon Kingdom, and the Ceylon Kingdom is my key target for the next few years.

I must ensure that there is a stable and solid rear.

The Gant family has been managing the Southern Territory for thousands of years, and their relationships are intricate and deeply rooted.

Thousands of years of precipitation are enough to imprint the Gant family's mark on every corner of this land.

From farmland to towns, from ports to mines, basically all the people of the Gant family are involved, either openly or secretly.

There are also his marriage families and subordinate forces throughout the Southern Territory, like an airtight net, covering every inch of the Southern Territory.

Now, although the main forces of the Gaunt family have been wiped out by us, there must still be many remnants hiding in the dark, and they may even continue to lurk with the help of the Kingdom of Ceylon, secretly causing us trouble.

I must select a capable and trustworthy person to help me watch over the Southern Territory and eliminate these hidden dangers.

Only in this way can I confidently use troops against the Kingdom of Ceylon and complete my plan.

So, my Red Dragon Duchess, are you willing to undertake this glorious and arduous task for your lord?”

A hint of determination flashed in Asuna's eyes, which was precisely why Cohen admired her.

Possessing a strong and unyielding desire to fight and a firm belief, a resilient girl who would advance to the extraordinary even after failing countless times, coupled with astonishing beauty and unparalleled talent, few men could resist Asuna's charm.

Asuna solemnly nodded and said:

“Sir, I will complete the task you have given me, but my identity……”

A newly minted Red Dragon Duchess, although the title sounds intimidating, the people of the Southern Territory may not really take her seriously.

To those old bureaucrats who have been in the officialdom for many years, Asuna is just a young girl in her early twenties.

Asuna was also born into a noble family and understands the survival philosophy of the nobles, and she is worried that it will affect Cohen's plan.

Cohen laughed, ruffled Asuna's chestnut hair, and said:

“I guarantee they won't underestimate you, and they will even respect you extraordinarily.”

A look of doubt appeared on Asuna's face.

Cohen said with a smile:

“They may underestimate the Red Dragon Duchess, but they would never dare to ignore the King's lover!

Pillow talk is much more direct and effective than memorials and official documents!”

Asuna's fair jade neck flushed red, and she whispered:

“So that's what you were planning, sir!”

Cohen reached out and grabbed Asuna's jade hand, bit her earlobe, and said:

“My female knight, would you like to fulfill another obligation of a knight and turn the rumors into reality?”

Asuna bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears, and whispered:

“This is the Queen's study……”

Wouldn't that be even more exciting?

Cohen's dirty thoughts flashed through his mind, and he quickly suppressed the fire aroused by this little girl.

Queen is still here, can't be too out of line, there will be plenty of opportunities to go to the Southern Territory in the future!

Cohen stopped teasing this pure female knight, bit her red lips, and considered it the end.

Asuna covered her mouth in shame and anger, her big eyes widened, and she stared at Cohen angrily.

Cohen said solemnly:

“Stop fooling around, I will say hello to Seaton, the Minister of Affairs of the Four Territories, and let him send you a copy of the information on the Southern Territory, you should study it carefully these two days.

In addition, I will also send you a capable assistant to help you clean up the rebellious elements in the Southern Territory.”

Asuna touched her lips and said angrily:

“What assistant?

Could it be another little girl that you tricked from somewhere, sir.”

Cohen's expression froze, and this little girl really guessed it right.

Seeing Cohen's movements, Asuna felt inexplicably jealous and asked:

“Who, have I met her?”

Cohen smiled sheepishly and said:

“Met once, Melantha, that little girl lurking in the Black Tomb.

The Grand Duke of the Southern Territory once had a deep cooperation with the Black Tomb through Andrei. With Melantha's help, you can find those tumors and rebellious elements faster.”

Asuna knew that now was not the time to be jealous, nodded, and said:

“Okay, with Miss Melantha's help, the pressure on me should be much lighter.”

Cohen continued:

“Besides this, there is another more important thing, I plan to build a dragon legion for you.”

Asuna's eyes widened:

“Can you still get other dragons, sir?”

Cohen shrugged and said:

“It doesn't necessarily have to be dragons, as long as they are dragon-like magical beasts with dragon blood.

With the blessing of the Dragon Rider, the combat power of these dragon-like magical beasts will also skyrocket, which is the true power of the Dragon Rider.

As for pure dragons, I will take you to the Dragon Valley to find them when you grow up in the future.”

Asuna nodded.

Cohen continued:

“Well, now I need some help from you.

Can you get me a little dragon blood from your contracted red dragon.”

Asuna frowned slightly and said:

“It's possible, but not too much, otherwise it will affect Little Red's growth.”

Cohen replied:

“A small bottle will do, I use it to refine my body.”

“Okay.”

……

Cohen looked at the small bottle of dragon blood in front of him and estimated that it would probably allow him to completely break through to the Golden Body.

It's a pity that dragon blood is something that is hard to come by. Otherwise, his physical refining degree would increase rapidly, and he should pay attention to this aspect of resources in the future.

Cohen suddenly thought that Asuna herself is a dragon descendant. If her dragon descendant bloodline is strong enough, will her blood be effective?

His thoughts soared, thinking that maybe he would also refine his body when he eats this little girl in the future. After all, all blood is blood. It would be great if he directly broke through while eating.

Cohen shook his head, suppressed the thoughts that were about to fly out of the sky, drank the dragon blood in one gulp, and the scalding heat instantly ignited his soul.

The muscles began to tremble and contract violently, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing through them.

A powerful force was born in the body like a spring, and the mysterious power from the dragon blood penetrated and strengthened the entire body.

As time passed, a layer of golden luster gradually appeared on the surface of the skin, and with every slight touch, one could feel the powerful power contained beneath it.

With a bang, a scorching golden light burst out instantly, the Golden Body, it's done!

A voice sounded in his ear:

The Golden Body Trial is open, refining degree: 10%.

Cohen clenched his fist, and a scorching light suddenly burst out in his eyes. Tonight, he will become the youngest legend on the continent!

……

Adel finished a busy day of government affairs and returned to the bedroom, unfastening the restraints with both hands, and letting the robe slip to the floor, revealing a plump, fair, and mature body hidden under the tulle.

Then she plunged into the bathtub, soaking in the warm bath water that Cohen had prepared for her, and her eyes swept over Cohen's big bed.

Cohen was lying on the bed flipping through something, which made Adel slightly surprised.

Normally at this time, Cohen should have jumped into the bathtub shamelessly to take a mandarin duck bath with her, why is he so honest today?

Adel shook her head slightly, finished washing, and walked out wearing a bathrobe.

The thin bath towel could only cover a few key parts.

The plump thighs that were still steaming revealed a healthy pink color, swaying slightly with her walking steps, and the crystal water droplets that had not yet been wiped dry slowly flowed down the smooth skin of the thighs, and then splashed onto the floor under the amazing elasticity of the thighs.

Her jade feet stepped on the fallen water droplets, leaving a wet mark on the wooden floor that reflected the wonderful curve outlined by Adel's perfect feet.

As soon as Adel got into bed, before she had time to make any movements, she was directly pounced on by Cohen.

Adel raised her slender eyebrows slightly and opened her red lips slightly:

“My hands are sore, and my feet are also sore.

My mouth also hurts, I can't help you.”

Cohen didn't reply, but greedily scanned Adel's exquisite body.

Adel thought that Cohen was angry, and her tone softened a lot:

“It's not that I don't want to help you, but every time I am by you... um... neither up nor down, you should also consider my feelings.”

Cohen suddenly smiled evilly and began to dance to the wonderful music in the white waves.

Although Adel said so, she didn't want to toss with Cohen anymore.

But her body was still quite honest, and before long, she was aroused by a strong burning lust.

The white body was now glowing with a faint rose red, and her neck and chest were covered with kiss marks of varying depths. Wherever her eyes could reach, there was endless temptation.

Just as she was about to swing her sword.

Adel's pupils regained a trace of clarity, and she whispered:

“Bear with it a little longer, you are already at the peak of the fifth level, why not……”

The voice stopped abruptly, Adel let out a whimper like a sob, and her whole consciousness swayed, sinking down.
