My queen is rebelling!

Even though I had already made a firm guess in my heart.

But when Isabella truly saw the young and handsome king behind the mask.

Isabella's breathing suddenly stopped, and her jade hand clenched subconsciously, her knuckles turning white from the force.

He really is the King of Effien!

Having confirmed Cohen's identity, countless questions surged into her mind at once.

Wasn't he hit by the Saint-level "Memory Ice Seal"?

Why is he like a normal person?

Why would a king do this?

Is it his own intention, or the intention of the entire Effien royal family?

All sorts of thoughts churned in her mind, and then, an obvious fact emerged in her mind—

He is the king, and he also has a queen of peerless beauty.

After a long time, Isabella said self-deprecatingly:

"No wonder you are unwilling to leave Effien no matter how I persuade you.

Yes, with a queen who is willing to stand up for you and protect you from the threats of saints and legends, if I were you, I wouldn't want to leave either."

Cohen's brow flashed with helplessness, and he said softly:

"Currently, the only people who know my true identity, besides Uncle Hogg and Earl Middleton, are Miss Windsor.

So I still need Miss Windsor to keep my identity a secret, otherwise it will cause me a lot of trouble."

Isabella blurted out:

"Doesn't even your queen know?"

Cohen shook his head:

"She still thinks that I have been hit by magic and am still a six-year-old child."

Isabella's emotions rose inexplicably, and she asked:

"Don't you trust her? In my opinion, she still cares about you quite a bit."

Cohen didn't know how to answer for a while.

He couldn't possibly say that when he first recovered his memory, he always suspected that the queen was the mastermind behind the scenes.

It wasn't until yesterday that he learned that the person who planned all this was actually Andrei, the "Eastern Fox" from the Eastern Domain Empire.

Seeing Cohen's silence, Isabella didn't press him.

She changed the subject:

"Are you lying dormant like this, preparing to wipe out those traitors in one fell swoop?"

"More or less."

"You are really quite confident. I think it is very likely that a kingdom will intervene in this turmoil in Effien."

Cohen smiled faintly:

"A mere kingdom, maybe Effien's national power will surprise Miss Windsor in the future!"

Isabella nodded seriously:

"I believe you."

Cohen said with a smile:

"The premise of everything is that I still need Miss Windsor to keep it a secret for me!"

Isabella said:

"Don't worry, I am conducting the investigation on you myself. Apart from me, no one else will associate you with the 'Lord of Shadows'."

Cohen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

Isabella quickly said with a smile again:

"But your palace is really leaky. As long as you are willing to pay, you can buy any news."

Cohen was not surprised. Even the content of the cabinet meeting could spread like wildfire in less than a day.

Now, the number of secret agents and rebels inside and outside the palace is definitely unimaginable.

But it's just right to show weakness to the enemy, relax the opponent's vigilance, and wait for a sure kill.

The two met frankly and said many things that they couldn't usually say.

Cohen also took the opportunity to ask Isabella for advice on the political situation of various countries in the Northwest Continent.

In his previous life, he rarely came to the Northwest Continent, and he didn't know much about some countries and regions.

If it was a solo fight, there would naturally be no problem, but now that he is the king of a country, there are some things that he must master and understand.

The atmosphere of the conversation was exceptionally harmonious.

When they were almost done talking, Isabella took out a contract and handed it to Cohen:

"I was still considering whether to tell you or not.

Such a big deal, if you don't have enough background and strength, I wouldn't be able to pull you in directly.

Now that you are the King of Effien, with an entire country as your backing, then some things can be discussed with you for cooperation."

Cohen took the contract and began to browse it carefully.

The contract that Isabella gave to Cohen was about opening a secret trade route across races that she discussed with Grand Duke Roland yesterday.

Dwarves!

So Isabella came to Florence to discuss this business with Grand Duke Roland!

No wonder she had to come in person.

I was still considering when to contact the dwarves to create the "Star Guardian Armor", but I didn't expect this opportunity to come!

The latest and fastest novels are all on 69shuba.com!

Cohen's eyes flickered slightly. Isabella had already contacted the dwarves!

It seems that their confidentiality work is done well. In his previous life, he only knew that the Golden Wing Girl was talking business with Grand Duke Roland.

As for what they were talking about specifically, there was not a single word that leaked out.

After Cohen finished reading, he asked:

"Miss Windsor means that you hope I can represent Effien and take the remaining 20% of the profits?"

The profit distribution of the entire trade route was clearly written on the contract—

The Golden Wing family of "Pale Wings" accounts for 50%, the host Western Domain Empire accounts for 30%, and the remaining 20% is given to the forces that can establish a stable trade base in the "Land of the Lost".

Isabella nodded:

"I originally wanted to go back to the family and discuss it, but since you are here, there is no need to go back and argue with those people in the Council of Elders."

Cohen smiled faintly:

"I am very honored that Miss Windsor has so much confidence in me."

Isabella said:

"Grand Duke Roland is right. Our Golden Wing family rarely, or even never, has been involved in the business of the 'Land of the Lost'.

It's not that we don't have this idea, but after all, we are a serious business family and want to show a positive image.

Most of our partners are unwilling to see 'Pale Wings' have any connection with the non-human world like the 'Land of the Lost'."

Cohen nodded in understanding.

Isabella continued:

"Therefore, regarding the strategy of the 'Land of the Lost', the family will seek cooperation with other forces sooner or later.

Instead of dividing the profits to others, it is better to give it to someone I like."

Cohen fully understood and nodded:

"Cooperation is possible, but my identity must be kept secret from your family."

"Land of the Lost". In his previous life, he had been to dungeons there many times.

In his plan, this was originally his target for conquest.

The thugs inside are the best tools for plotting conspiracies and riots.

Which superior can refuse a knife hidden in the dark?

Isabella was not surprised by Cohen's request:

"I know this, I will keep your identity a secret.

The only problem at the moment is, where does your adventure team come from?

Grand Duke Roland has always invested in the 'Land of the Lost'. He has already raised a force there.

You must form an adventure team with sufficient strength and wisdom in a short period of time to gain a foothold in the 'Land of the Lost' as soon as possible."

Cohen had a confident smile on his face:

"The leader is already here, and the members are mostly on the way, but they will be here soon!"

Isabella's eyes flashed with astonishment, and she said:

"You don't want to lead an adventure team to explore the 'Land of the Lost' yourself!"

Cohen smiled slightly:

"To repay your trust and kindness, three months later, I will bring an elite team to clear the obstacles in the 'Land of the Lost' for your Golden Wing family!"
