My queen is rebelling!

“… … A magic array is a sacred space for casting powerful spells. By arranging and combining some magic elements in a certain order with good conductors, it can resonate with the elements and unleash unimaginable power…”

The “model student,” Cohen, watched Queen Teacher Adelheid holding a pointer, a slight thought flickering in his mind.

At this moment, Queen Adelheid was like someone talking about her most proficient and beloved field. Her whole person radiated, and her jade-like face emitted a heart-stirring, holy light.

Cohen didn't expect Adelheid to be so interested in magic arrays. At this moment, she didn't seem like the cold and aloof Queen, but more like a fanatical intellectual pursuing the mysteries of the multiverse.

Seeing Cohen a bit distracted, Queen Adelheid was visibly displeased. She tapped the blackboard with her pointer and said coldly:

“Your Majesty, where is the Eternal Heart I gave you before?”

Cohen snapped back to attention, pointed to his neck, and said:

“Sister, I've been wearing it close to my body all the time.”

Queen Adelheid said:

“The necklace has a miniature magic array engraved inside, but it's a one-time use. Some more advanced arrays can be made permanent, but the crafting methods have been lost.”

Cohen nodded and asked:

“Are there any other powerful magic arrays?”

Seeing Cohen focused again, Queen Adelheid's expression softened, and she continued:

“Yes, thousands of years ago, during the existence of the Arcane Empire, the study of magic arrays reached its peak. According to some surviving written records, the arrays at that time could easily cover a city, or even a country, with infinite wonderful uses. They could be used for summoning, sealing, defense, teleportation, and powerful arrays could even bring down gods. Unfortunately, most of the array inheritances have been lost now…”

Queen Adelheid's mood was obviously somewhat low. The fall and discontinuity of human civilization is always regrettable.

Cohen's thoughts drifted again because he vaguely remembered that the ruins of the Arcane Empire, which produced the "Concentric Curse Seal," seemed to have several ancient books about arrays.

Seeing Queen Adelheid so interested, could he use this to blackmail her into doing something interesting in the future?

Just as Cohen was wandering in his thoughts, a gentle knock on the door interrupted Adelheid's lesson.

Adelheid frowned slightly and said coldly:

“What is it?”

The female official's voice came:

“Your Highness, Viscount Gunter has arrived as summoned.”

Gunter? A very familiar surname.

A memory flashed through Cohen's mind—the heir to the Southern Duke, Viscount Cliff Gunter.

Cohen remembered that the Angerian family, to which the Queen belonged, had a family friendship with the Southern Duke Gunter. After Adelheid showed outstanding magical talent in her childhood, the Southern Duke had always intended to marry into the Angerian family, and the target was this Cliff Gunter. However, later his own mother acted faster and brought Adelheid into the palace, cutting off the Southern Duke's thoughts.

Adelheid came back to her senses, turned her gaze to Cohen, and said:

“Does Your Majesty still remember him?”

Cohen nodded seriously, then his tone became much more indignant, and said:

“Mother once told me that the Gunter family wanted you to be their daughter-in-law!”

Adelheid was slightly stunned, looking at Cohen's face, which was faintly suppressing anger, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart—

Sure enough, men get jealous regardless of age. I've never seen you like this in all these years we've been together… So, this "memory seal" isn't all bad after all?

Queen Adelheid put away her complicated thoughts and said to the female official outside:

“Let him go to the study to wait for me first.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Cohen quickly said:

“Sister, can I go with you to meet him?”

Queen Adelheid shook her head directly and refused:

“Your Majesty, please study here first. I'll come over after I talk to Cliff about some things.”

After speaking, without waiting for Cohen to reply, she pushed the door and walked out.

Cohen's face darkened slightly. Adelheid clearly didn't want Cohen to know what the two were talking about. The place chosen for the meeting was not the council hall, but the relatively private study, which was really concerning.

With a flash of his figure, [Enter Shadows] activated!

… …

Cliff Gunter was sturdy, with a dark complexion, wearing a well-tailored suit, the collar of his white shirt slightly open, revealing wheat-colored skin, deep eyes, and a high nose bridge, full of primal desire.

According to Cohen's previous life, he had the standard “gigolo” appearance.

Behind Cliff stood an old man with gray hair, his eyes flashing with a sharp cold light from time to time.

Cliff seemed very excited at this time, without the composure that a duke's heir should have.

He said to the old man behind him:

“Old Butler, what do you think Adelheid summoned me for? And she asked me to wait in the study? This is the King's study, I heard that only a few ministers of the cabinet can enter.”

The old butler considered and replied: “It is indeed a bit strange, but I think there should be no official business between Her Majesty the Queen and the young master.”

Viscount Cliff slammed his fist excitedly, revealing excited red light on both cheeks:

“No official business means private business! Old Butler, I heard that Corleone, that good-for-nothing, was attacked a few days ago, and his brain is broken. Do you think Adelheid might have other ideas?”

Speaking of this, a hint of jealousy appeared on the Viscount's face:

“What a damn king, if he didn't have a good background, would he be able to steal my fiancée?”

The old butler's face stiffened, and he whispered:

“Young master, be careful, this is the Royal Palace!”

Viscount Cliff didn't care at all, and said:

“What's there to be afraid of? If it weren't for my father, this country would have fallen into division three years ago. Without the support of our Southern Territory, does he think Angus can sit firmly in the position of Prime Minister? Alas, I just feel sorry for my Adelheid, who was forced to become the Queen by his unscrupulous father.”

The old butler clearly knew his young master's temper and shook his head:

“Young master, you still need to pay attention to your influence, after all, Miss Angerian is now Her Majesty the Queen.”

Viscount Cliff said disdainfully: “What about the Queen? If it wasn't for that old man Angus being greedy for power and rushing to sell his daughter, she would already be my woman!”

The old butler's face froze slightly, secretly thinking that the Duke only had this intention at the beginning, and the Angerian family never agreed at all. How did it become his fiancée in the young master's mouth?

He wanted to remind Cliff a few words, lest he talk nonsense outside again and cause some bad influence.

But on second thought, the more he said this, the more it would arouse the other party's rebellious psychology, so he simply gave up the idea of ​​admonishing.

Cliff muttered: “Old Butler, what should I say to the old man if Adelheid is prepared to dedicate herself in exchange for the full support of our Southern Territory?”

The old butler's face twitched, admiring his young master's ability to fantasize.

The sound of high heels touching the ground came, and the Viscount quickly came back to his senses and immediately looked towards the sound.

The Queen's majestic and stunning beauty made his heart tremble fiercely, and a trace of fascination appeared in his eyes. He immediately bowed and saluted, and said loudly:

“Beautiful Queen, your loyal knight Cliff Gunter has come at your summons!”
