My queen is rebelling!
#220 - The cheap father-in-law's request and the surprise he brings to Cohen!
( Thanks to book friend "Marry a Name Sun" for the fourteen consecutive rewards, thank you boss! ! ! )
Hearing Yadell's words, Cohen's heart skipped a beat, and most of the alcohol in his system instantly sobered up, causing a cold sweat to break out on his back.
How is that possible?
How could Yadell know?
That's not right, according to Herman's intelligence, the Queen stayed in the study all day today, receiving officials.
The palace maids even delivered her lunch, and she didn't even step out of the study door.
Could it be that someone leaked the information?
No, impossible, Cohen is quite confident in his prestige, no one would do such a thing.
Then where did the mistake occur?
Various speculations surged in Cohen's mind, and soon he realized something was wrong.
It's possible that the Queen is trying to trick him!
He must remain calm and not let her see anything unusual.
Cohen forced himself to calm down quickly, while showing an appropriate look of doubt on his face, blinking his eyes, and asked:
"Sister, what are you talking about?
What Golden Wing Maiden?"
Yadell leaned over slightly, her chest heaving slightly due to the movement, making Cohen's eyes blur.
He thought to himself, could it be that the Queen wants to interrogate him with her beauty? Should he confess or confess?
Just as Cohen was thinking wildly, Yadell leaned over and sniffed Cohen's neck, but unfortunately it was covered by the strong smell of alcohol, and she couldn't smell anything.
Before Cohen could breathe a sigh of relief, Yadell's voice made him feel like he had fallen into an ice cave:
"No wonder you had to drink so much wine, trying to hide something!
Do you know that your semi-divine artifact 'Book of Time and Space' will leave a certain spatial fluctuation in the room after use.
Those below the ninth rank cannot sense it, but legendary ranks with domains can easily sense it.
I was wondering why you were so strange today.
The Duke of the Three Realms and the governors were coming to see you, but you insisted on doing some Silverfrost and Sacred Oak strategic plan today.
So you wanted to pile everything on me and go out and have fun yourself?"
Cohen's heart suddenly chilled, bad, he forgot about this.
Facing Yadell's sharp eyes, Cohen chose to immediately lower his head and admit his mistake:
"Sister, I was wrong, I didn't want you to overthink, so I didn't tell you.
I did look for Miss Wenzer, but not for anything else, it was because of her father, Aziz Wenzer, the patriarch of the Golden Wing Family, who secretly came to Effin.
Patriarch Wenzer wants to see me, I went to talk to her about this matter."
Yadell raised her eyebrows slightly, her red lips parted slightly, and asked:
"The patriarch of the Golden Wing Family?
What does he want from you?
It can't be to discuss a marriage alliance between you and the Golden Wing Family, right?"
Cohen showed a wry smile on his face, grabbed Yadell's hand, and replied softly:
"Sister, what are you talking about?
It's really business, but Miss Wenzer doesn't know very clearly what it is.
However, she suspects it has something to do with the 'Cobalt Soul Academy'."
Yadell stared at Cohen suspiciously for a long time, then muttered something, sat on the bed, crossed her slender jade legs, reached out and grabbed Cohen's tie, pulling him towards her chest:
"Do I look like the kind of unreasonable woman?
See whoever you want to see, I didn't imprison you or anything, you are not allowed to hide this kind of thing from me in the future."
Cohen repeatedly said yes.
Yadell didn't dwell on this matter anymore, Cohen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was smart enough.
His eyes flickered slightly, he hugged Yadell's legs into his arms, gently kneading the Queen's exquisite jade feet with both hands, the warm and jade-like touch and the dazzling cold white skin made his heart tremble slightly, he said with a dry throat:
"Sister, you've worked hard today, let me give you a good massage…"
Yadell endured her shyness, grabbed Cohen's big hand that was about to massage the root of her thigh, and pointed to the bathtub:
"Go wash off the smell of alcohol on your body first, otherwise you can prepare to sleep on the floor tonight."
Cohen didn't hesitate at all, quickly jumped into the bathtub, washing away the smell of alcohol and the fragrance on his body.
When Cohen finished cleaning up and returned to the bed, he found that Yadell had already gotten into bed, with only a soft breathing sound coming.
After a busy day, receiving so many governors and ministers, and having to socialize in the evening, even with Yadell's legendary extraordinary strength, her body could withstand it, but her mind was already exhausted.
She had already fallen asleep before Cohen arrived.
Cohen tiptoed onto the bed, got into the quilt, lovingly stroked Yadell's sleeping face, the desire in his heart slowly dissipated, and gently massaged Yadell's shoulders, helping her relieve fatigue…
…
In the bedroom, Cohen opened his eyes and found that he was all alone, with only neatly folded clothes placed by the bed.
Cohen shook his head gently, knowing that the Queen had gone to court again.
Speaking of which, he is really unqualified as a King, even the daily court meetings have to be done by the Queen.
Fortunately, the whole of Effin has already adapted to the situation without a King.
Cohen quickly finished cleaning up, left the bedroom, casually stopped a palace maid, and asked:
"Where is the Queen?"
The palace maid immediately replied:
"Your Majesty, the Queen is currently holding a cabinet meeting to discuss post-war reconstruction."
Although Cohen won the Emerald Rebellion War heartily, the main battlefield was after all in Emerald, and the battles between transcendents inevitably caused irreparable damage to the entire Emerald city.
Many places need to be repaired and rebuilt, and the injured masses and officials need to be appeased, and the fallen soldiers need to be compensated.
Involving all aspects, it is an extremely tedious and complex project.
In addition, so many traitors and spies appeared in this rebellion, and it would take a lot of manpower and material resources to clear these traitors and spies.
Cohen sighed secretly, if Yadell hadn't supported him in all of this, Cohen would have been busy all day long, how could he have the mind to plan the Ceylon Kingdom and develop the dwarves?
Cohen took out paper and pen, relying on some memories left over from his previous life, wrote a short love letter with a nauseating tone and full of emotion, handed it to the palace maid, and instructed:
"Send it to the Queen, um, when she is not busy.
No reply is needed.
Also, let the Queen pay attention to her health, drink more hot water, and don't be too tired!"
After eating a wave of dog food from the King and Queen, the palace maid respectfully took the letter with both hands and left.
After creating a small surprise for Yadell, Cohen came to the reception room.
Isabella had already told him that her father, Aziz Wenzer, the patriarch of the Golden Wing Family, would come to see him today in a private capacity.
On the surface, it is to discuss strengthening the cooperation between Effin and the "Pale Wings", but Isabella herself is not very clear about the real intention, only knowing that it is related to the "Cobalt Soul Academy".
Cobalt Soul Academy?
Could it be that his cheap father-in-law is curious about how he can command the Saint of the Cobalt Soul Academy?
Cohen shook his head, put away the speculation in his heart, and waited for the notification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
…
"…The general situation is like this, all departments must strengthen contact with the Ministry of Finance, and the special funds for post-war recovery and reconstruction should be included in the supervision of the Military Discipline and Personnel Office, which is responsible by Prince Haug.
In addition, special personnel must be assigned to squat in every street and every farm in Emerald that has been affected by the disaster, and all units directly under the cabinet must send people down to inspect.
Within ten days, the water and electricity supply and transportation network must be restored, and within one month, the basic infrastructure must be restored to its original appearance.
The compensation for the affected citizens and the pensions for the fallen soldiers must be in place within three months.
If you can't do it, put on your military uniform and go to the northern border to fight against the barbarians.
The Silvey Youzhuang, which was the most severely affected by the disaster, will be personally responsible by this palace!
After the meeting, you will all come with me to visit the victims of the Silvey Youzhuang, and everyone's lunch will be at the farm today."
The ministers replied in unison:
"Yes."
Yadell gently rubbed her brows, and was about to take a sip of water to relax when the personal palace maid quietly came to her side, took out a handwritten letter, and said in a low voice:
"Your Highness, a letter written to you by His Majesty."
Yadell raised her eyebrows slightly, took the letter, and began to read it.
After reading it, a warm smile appeared on the corner of her mouth without a trace, and soon disappeared again.
She put the letter close to her body without showing any signs, and asked:
"Did His Majesty say anything else?"
The palace maid said carefully:
"His Majesty said that no reply is needed, and then told His Highness to pay attention to her health, drink more hot water, and not be too tired."
Yadell couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, nodded slightly, indicating that she knew.
Then, she put away the extra tenderness, cleared her throat, and a solemn voice sounded again:
"Okay, that's it, all departments should seize the time to implement it after going down, if anyone thinks it is difficult, propose to resign as soon as possible.
Don't let this palace make everyone look ugly at that time!
If there are no objections, we will proceed to the next agenda…"
…
Cohen waited in the reception room for a while, and Nefertis came in with a request from Foreign Minister Baron Holt.
In addition to being responsible for the affairs of the military system, Nefertis is also temporarily assigned by Cohen as the director of the King's Office, responsible for handling some daily government affairs.
Cohen asked:
"Has Patriarch Wenzer arrived yet?"
Nefertis nodded and replied:
"He is already waiting in the Royal Palace Foreign Guest Reception Room, without alarming anyone, only Baron Holt is with him."
Cohen said:
"Let him come directly."
Before long, a middle-aged man in exquisite clothes and a tall figure walked into Cohen's reception room.
Aziz Wenzer, the patriarch of the wealthiest family on the continent, the Golden Wing Family.
This person can exude an invisible pressure and personal charm just by standing there, his eyes are extremely energetic, as if he can see through everything.
This is Cohen's first time meeting Isabella's father, although Isabella has already said that her father will not look for his affairs.
But after all, he just rolled in the sheets with someone's daughter yesterday, and seeing Aziz at this time always felt a little lacking in confidence.
Fortunately, Aziz was unaware of what happened yesterday, and took the initiative to extend his hand after seeing Cohen:
"I have admired your name for a long time, Your Majesty Corleone, your reputation has been resounding in the Central Empire.
Your amazing performance at the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference has made countless people respect and be shocked.
The latest novels are available on 69shu.com!
"To be able to repel the joint attack of the two great empires and the Black Tomb with one's own strength, I must admit, you have become the most glorious protagonist of this era.
With a king like you, Ephien is not far from embarking on the road to rise."
Aziz's unreserved praise made Cohen feel much more relaxed.
No matter what he thought in his heart, at least Aziz's attitude on the surface was quite kind.
This was not actually Aziz putting on a false pretense. After learning that the King of Ephien's other identity was the Lord of Shadows, the shock and tremor in Aziz's heart was no less than anyone else's.
Especially after the scenes that occurred at the Northwest Region Exchange Conference were transmitted back to the family, it almost made the entire Golden Wing family boil over.
Originally, those family members who were angry and disappointed that the Golden Wing's Daughter, Isabella · Windsor, had casually followed an unknown man, now had no reason to object.
A young king who could summon gods, train 20,000 elite-level beastman legions in just two years, create 20,000 sets of divine and demonic equipment, crush the joint attack of the two great empires and the Black Tomb with his own strength, and even the final dispatch of the Black Tomb's demigod could not do anything to him.
It was enough for the members of the wealthiest family on the continent to put away all their pride and contempt.
They had to treat this man, who would most likely become half of their master in the future, with caution.
In fact, compared to shock, there was more surprise.
Some core members of the Golden Wing family also had some predictions and guesses about the great turmoil that might occur in the future of the human continent.
The Golden Wing family was the most unwilling to see this great turmoil, which was very likely to affect the entire human race.
As a traditional business family, they could thrive and be at ease among various forces during peacetime.
But once it came to wartime, with the collapse of order and rules, this wealthiest family on the entire continent would become a delicious piece of fat in everyone's eyes, and everyone would come to take a bite.
When that time really came, all interpersonal relationships would be unreliable, and only one's own people with blood ties could be trusted.
Therefore, when they learned that their family had such a valiant future son-in-law, most people held an excited and affirmative attitude.
Aziz himself also genuinely admired Cohen, but unfortunately, he was a king and already had a peerless and brilliant, the continent's youngest legendary queen.
Otherwise, he would have even prepared to discuss marriage with Cohen.
Cohen naturally did not know Aziz's complex inner thoughts. Seeing Aziz's kind attitude, he was immediately relieved.
He immediately reached out and shook his hand:
"Clan Chief Windsor's praise is truly making me feel uneasy. If it weren't for your and 'Pale Wings' strong support in the previous war, I wouldn't have been able to win on my own."
Aziz smiled faintly and said:
"We are also to avoid being controlled by the Eastern Region Empire. Alright, let's not talk about these pleasantries. I'm here to ask you for a favor today."
Cohen was shocked. Asking for a favor?
To make the dignified Clan Chief of the Golden Wing family, a Saint-level transcendent, say the word "ask", Cohen was greatly surprised.
He quickly said:
"Clan Chief Windsor, please speak directly about anything. If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."
Aziz waved his hand casually, set up a barrier, and lowered his voice:
"You were able to persuade 'Cobalt Soul Academy' to take action because of your identity as the Child of Prophecy?
Did you prophesy something for them?
To be precise, it was a prophecy about what might happen to the human continent in the future!"
Cohen was suddenly shocked. He hadn't even told Isabella about this matter. The only people who knew about the secret cooperation between him and 'Cobalt Soul Academy' were Yadel and the people from Cobalt Soul Academy itself.
Yadel wouldn't say it, and Cobalt Soul Academy was even less likely to. How did the other party know?
Did they guess it?
Looking at Cohen, who had fallen into silence, Aziz chuckled:
"Don't be so wary. No one told me. I deduced it myself."
Aziz paused for a moment, his gaze becoming much deeper, and said slowly:
"I know Cobalt Soul Academy better than you do.
With the size and strength of Cobalt Soul Academy, Cobalt Soul Academy is willing to dispatch 'Special Grade' courtyard monks and high-level saints for a small king, and in the end, even Dean Dumbledore personally took action.
This can only mean that you have made a deal with them that concerns the life and death of Cobalt Soul Academy.
The things you possess, although precious, are nothing to Cobalt Soul Academy, which has always stood firm in the long river of human history.
Outstanding protagonists exist in every era, and Cobalt Soul Academy would not go so far as to dispatch a demigod for you.
Then, besides this, the only thing on you that can attract Cobalt Soul Academy is your terrifying prophecy ability that you showed when you saved my daughter two years ago.
You must have made some prophecies for Cobalt Soul Academy, and even this prophecy concerns the survival of the entire human race, because only in this way can you touch Cobalt Soul Academy, right?"
Cohen was secretly astonished. This old fox, as expected of the leader of the wealthiest family on the continent, just this brain and vision alone made him feel frightened.
What kind of trash was Xazo of the Eastern Region Empire, to actually set his sights on such a person, he really chose the wrong opponent.
Cohen suppressed the surprise in his heart and said in a deep voice:
"Clan Chief Windsor's guess is correct. I did use my prophecy ability to do some things for Cobalt Soul Academy."
Aziz's face revealed a rare trace of solemnity, and his voice unconsciously lowered a lot, asking:
"Is it about the future trends of the continent?"
Cohen was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Aziz asked in a deep voice:
"Can you tell me the specific content and time?"
Cohen hesitated, his expression flickering.
Aziz was silent for a moment, then said slowly:
"The Golden Wing family will eventually be handed over to the two of you. Knowing the information in advance will allow us to prepare earlier, and the Golden Wing family can also be better preserved.
Just consider it as having a few more chips in your hand when you compete for the continent in the future."
Cohen's eyes widened suddenly, looking at Aziz in disbelief.
What did the other party mean by this? Could it be that he agreed to the matter between him and Isabella?
Honestly, Cohen was quite worried about whether the matter between him and Isabella could be recognized by the Golden Wing family.
Not to mention his own identity, just the fact that he already had a legitimate queen would probably not pass Aziz's test.
This was the first in line heir of the dignified Golden Wing family, to have her share a husband with someone else, just thinking about it seemed impossible.
Cohen originally didn't plan to get the approval of the Golden Wing family. He was planning to get on the bus first and then buy the ticket. When he really became strong in the future, they would have no choice but to agree.
Aziz's current statement caught him off guard. Aziz actually expressed his agreement?
Cohen's voice changed, asking:
"You... you don't object to the matter between me and Isabella?"
Aziz sighed:
"If it were before, I definitely wouldn't agree to her being with a dangerous person like you, but... our family also has transcendent with divination abilities.
They hold a very pessimistic attitude towards the future of the human continent. You should know that doing business in troubled times is the most useless thing. I must find a solid backer for our Golden Wing family.
Since Cobalt Soul Academy has chosen you, then why can't I choose you?
Although there is a suspicion of selling my daughter, this was originally Isabella's own choice. She has no objections, so I, as a father, naturally have to consider the family."
A thoughtful look appeared on Cohen's face. It seemed that the matter of future turmoil had a great impact on the Golden Wing family, forcing Aziz to compromise.
Cohen's heart suddenly felt much lighter. Although he had planned that way before, it would definitely be better if he could get the approval of Isabella's family.
In fact, even if Aziz didn't say so now, he would find time to hint at it for Isabella's sake.
Since Aziz took the initiative to come to his door today, Cohen also decided to be frank. He slowly said:
"Clan Chief Windsor, it's not that I'm unwilling to say it, it's just that this matter is of great importance.
In addition, I have my own plans for the future. I can guarantee to you that no matter what the Golden Wing family does, there will always be a place for Isabella here. I will protect Isabella with my life!"
Hearing Cohen's serious statement, Aziz's face also softened a lot.
Cohen also exhorted:
"You must keep this matter a secret, limited to you alone.
It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the family is like a country, and it's always inevitable that there will be a few traitors.
Look at our Corellion royal family and the Ephien Elder Council, there are so many rebellious elements, wouldn't you say so."
Aziz nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. I just need a general time and range of changes to adjust and layout the family strategy in advance."
Cohen could understand. After all, once the turmoil started, which places would start first, and which places' industries and relationships would have to be transferred or abandoned first.
And in wartime, cash flow and military supplies are hard currency and must be controlled and stockpiled in advance.
Cohen organized his words and told Aziz roughly about the changes that would occur on the continent in the future, as well as the time and scope of the changes.
"...Three years later, the Realm of the Gods will begin to experience turmoil. Five years later, the gods will issue this covenant, and then the continent will be plunged into war in an instant.
At the beginning, a few kingdoms will control some small duchies to conduct proxy wars, and later the kingdoms will personally enter the arena for direct confrontation.
The scale will become larger and larger, and the intensity will become deeper and deeper, until the flames of war spread to the territories of the five great empires. By that time, no country or organization on the entire human continent will be spared, and all will fall into an unprecedented great war and turmoil!"
