My queen is rebelling!

The two chatted casually, and soon, the voices of several girls talking came from outside the door.

Cohen's expression shifted slightly, and he smiled at Arnold, saying:

"Your daughters should have arrived. Believe me, you definitely won't recognize Miss Freya now."

Cohen opened the door and welcomed the three beautiful ladies in.

Nefthys, Arnold had already met. Who was the tall and valiant girl standing beside her?

Was she the teammate Cohen mentioned earlier?

Why did this young noble always like to find beautiful women as teammates?

Of course, what surprised Arnold the most was his daughter, Freya.

Cohen clapped his hands lightly to attract everyone's attention and said:

"Now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

Everyone sat down in the living room, and Asuna couldn't wait to speak first, asking:

"Sir, did you say you have news about my father?"

Cohen nodded slightly, his tone becoming much heavier:

"I regret to inform you that your father, Mr. Diaz Eliat, unfortunately passed away five years ago.

In fact, I did not know your father personally. It was one of my elders who told me everything about your father.

Yes, before my elder passed away, he asked me to be sure to find Miss Eliat and tell you all of this."

A deep sorrow surfaced on Asuna's face. Even though she had been mentally prepared, her heart still couldn't help but twitch when she actually heard the news.

From now on, she would be all alone in the world.

Nefthys quickly took Asuna's arm.

Asuna shook her head, adjusted her emotions, and asked in a deep voice:

"The gentleman claims to also know my mother? Then my mother…"

Her father had told her since she was young that her mother had passed away after giving birth to her, but she still wanted to know everything about her mother.

Cohen did not directly answer Asuna's question, but changed the subject and asked:

"Miss Eliat is eighteen years old this year, correct?"

Asuna's face flushed slightly, and she nodded gently.

Nefthys couldn't help but glare at Cohen reproachfully.

Who asks a girl her age right away like that?

Cohen continued:

"Having not yet entered the Extraordinary realm at eighteen, doesn't Miss Eliat find it a bit strange?"

A look of disappointment appeared on Asuna's face, and she said:

"Perhaps my talent is too poor."

Cohen shook his head and said:

"No, it's not because of talent. On the contrary, your talent can be described as unparalleled."

Asuna couldn't help but say:

"Is the gentleman mocking me?"

Cohen chuckled softly, extended his hand, the Dragon Seal in his hand flickered, and a faint dragon aura permeated the air.

Feeling this strange energy, Asuna trembled all over, and actually felt a kind of desire clearly transmitted from within her body.

She couldn't help but grasp Cohen's hand.

Immediately afterward, an indescribable feeling spread throughout her body like an electric current.

It was as if a tightly closed door had been opened by a magical key, and the bottleneck that had been hindering Asuna's advancement to the Extraordinary realm was actually faintly loosening.

She could clearly feel the blood in her body surging wildly, as if an extremely powerful force was about to burst forth.

Every cell in her body was cheering and jumping for joy, like parched land welcoming nourishing spring rain.

Cohen withdrew his aura, and Asuna reluctantly withdrew her palm, looking at Cohen with a hint of infatuation in her eyes.

Asuna was certain that as long as she had a little more contact with this kind of energy, she would be able to break through the bottleneck of the Extraordinary realm.

Cohen's voice rang softly in her ear:

"Do you feel it now? This is your true talent.

Haven't you always wanted to know about your mother's situation? I'll tell you now."

Cohen paused and spoke a fact that shocked everyone:

"Your mother is a Dragonkin!

The blood of a dragon flows in your veins!

Your power comes from the most powerful creature in this world—the Dragon race!"

Not only was Asuna dumbfounded, but everyone else was also in deep shock.

Asuna's thinking ability was completely shattered by Cohen's words, and she said in a trembling voice:

"You… what did you say?"

Cohen nodded firmly and said:

"You heard right, Miss Asuna Eliat, your maternal grandfather is a fully grown dragon!

Your mother was a genuine Dragonkin, but unfortunately, due to her weak body, she was unable to withstand this power and passed away early.

However, I think she should feel very gratified, because this gift from the dragon has been passed down to her daughter without reservation!"

Asuna fell into a long silence before recovering.

The impact of being a Dragonkin was too great for her.

She regained her composure, stared at Cohen's eyes, her gaze filled with intense focus:

"Thank you very much, sir, for telling me these things, but I want to know.

You wrote to me asking me to come all the way from the Central Empire.

And to meet you as a free person, what is the reason?

Is this related to the dragon blood in my body?"

Cohen replied calmly:

"Just as you think, Miss Asuna Eliat, I need you to become my knight."

After a pause, he continued to add:

"If possible, I hope it will be a lifelong knighthood."

Regarding Cohen's obviously offensive request, Asuna did not show any special emotion on her face, but said very calmly:

"Sir, if you want me to become one of your many varieties of collectibles, then I'm sorry.

I would rather be an ordinary person for the rest of my life than become a plaything to be wantonly desecrated by a noble."

Asuna's gaze flashed across Nefthys and Freya, and the meaning in her words was self-evident.

Cohen chuckled and said:

"I think you completely misunderstood my meaning.

Becoming my knight is just a metaphor. More appropriately, what I need is your loyalty and ability, not a vase.

Perhaps you still have doubts now, but I believe that sooner or later you will realize that compared to the power you will have in the future, your beauty is just an optional embellishment.

Not to mention, you will know later that I already have the best beauty in this world."

Cohen turned his gaze to Arnold, who was standing aside, and said:

"The same goes for this adventurer, sir.

You are not my slaves, and I do not need servants without independent consciousness.

I will give you the power to subvert the continent and change the order, a power that even you cannot imagine.

The only requirement is that you must repay me with unquestionable loyalty."

Cohen's voice was sonorous and powerful, causing the two to fall into silence.

Asuna asked in a deep voice:

"I need proof!"

The dragon seal on Cohen's hand turned, and an unremarkable black stone appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterward, a vast dragon might soared into the sky, and Prince Haug, who was on guard outside, immediately used his powerful mental power to completely confine the dragon might within the villa.

Not a trace of aura leaked out.

Dragon egg!

Feeling the power hidden in the depths of her blood, Asuna instinctively recognized the thing in front of her.

Then, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind—

Masked, young man, Florence, dragon egg!

"You… are you the recently popular 'Lord of Shadows'?

Wasn't your dragon egg already traded to the 'Pale Wings'?"

Cohen was slightly surprised and said:

"I didn't expect that I am so famous now that even Miss Eliat in the Central Empire has heard of me?"

Asuna restrained the shock in her heart and said slowly:

"Regarding your story, from the northernmost land of extreme ice to the southernmost tropical jungle, from the easternmost Dragon Valley to the westernmost Sea of Miracles, bards have spread it to every corner of the continent."

Saints, dragons, imperial dukes, devils from hell, holy warriors who betrayed their vows, captivating beauties, and mysterious youths—these elements are intertwined, enough to create a widely circulated and enduring legend.

Cohen shook his head with a wry smile, not expecting that the legendary degree of his persona had become so high.

The road to legend is right in front of him!

He suppressed his emotions, held up the dragon egg, and said to Asuna:

"This dragon egg is proof.

Your bloodline can accelerate the hatching of the dragon egg, and after the young dragon hatches.

You can sign a blood contract with it and successfully take on the secret profession, [Dragon Rider Warrior].

At that time, you will be able to command dragons, the most powerful female war god!

Miss Eliat, you heard right, I will give you this dragon egg as long as you are willing to repay me with loyalty."

Asuna's red lips were slightly open, her eyes filled with astonishment.

A strange man, meeting you for the first time, is about to give you the most precious thing in the world.

And also help you enter a mysterious and extraordinary profession.

Asuna couldn't help but suspect Cohen's intentions.

However, using something so precious to target an ordinary person like herself didn't seem necessary.

Cohen directly stuffed the dragon egg into her hands amidst her astonished gaze.

Then, the "Eternal Heart" on his neck shimmered, and a thick notebook appeared in his hand.

Cohen turned his gaze and handed the notebook to Arnold:

"Adventurers are too weak and lack development potential.

My plan for you is to have you change your profession to [Curse Seal Warrior]. By inscribing curse seals on your body, I can help you gain powerful strength.

The curse seals I possess all come from the ancient Elven race and will grant you special abilities and talents.

This notebook contains cultivation insights left behind by a powerful Legendary-level [Curse Seal Warrior]. Take it and have a look."

After handing the items to the two of them, Cohen continued:

"Of course, all of this comes with conditions!"

Cohen took out three contracts and placed them before Asuna and Arnold, father and daughter, and slowly said:

"Sign the contracts, offer your loyalty, and everything I just said will take effect."

The three of them looked down at the contracts, which only vaguely stated that they were not allowed to betray the contractor, had to obey the contractor's arrangements, and could not随意 reveal the contractor's secrets, etc.

The newest novels are first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

Until they saw the signature—

Cohen Corleone!

A very familiar name, where had they heard it before?

Before the three of them could react, Nephthys, who was not far away, had already exclaimed in surprise.

The three of them looked up, and the mysterious young man had already taken off his mask, revealing a young and handsome face.

Nephthys stared at Cohen's face, speechless.

As a citizen of Effie, she was no stranger to her young King.

The sorceress's expression froze, her mouth slightly open, and her red lips slowly moved:

"You… You are His Majesty Corleone?"

His Majesty Corleone!

The three of them were shocked at the same time upon hearing this title.

Cohen Corleone!

They finally knew why this name was so familiar!

That was the name of Effie's current King!

Looking again at the face with a gentle smile, a huge and absurd sense of unreality impacted their hearts.

King?

The person standing in front of them was actually the King of a country!

Asuna was okay, after all, she had grown up in a noble family since she was a child and had seen some powerful figures.

The impact she received was not that great.

But Arnold and his daughter were completely shocked by this sudden fact and couldn't make a sound.

As commoners, being able to see a small landlord noble in the territory was already very remarkable.

But now they were actually communicating face-to-face with a King!

The idea of divine right of kings was rooted in the minds of these indigenous residents since childhood.

For them, a King was an inviolable existence.

They couldn't believe that this mysterious young man who had just communicated with them on an equal footing was actually the master of a country!

This was an absurd but real fact happening before their eyes.

Cohen smiled and said to Nephthys:

"Genuine, my sorceress!

If you don't believe me, you can go to the street and buy the latest calendar. I guarantee that the face of the man on the first page is exactly the same as mine."

Nephthys blinked hard and couldn't help but want to reach out and pinch Cohen's face.

A King, this was a real King.

A girl who had been displaced and lost her family since she was a child was able to see a King and had been with him silently for so long!

The details of getting along with Cohen these days rolled out of her memory, and Nephthys felt her heart filled with an unspeakable emotion.

Several people finally recovered from the huge shock and quickly saluted:

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Cohen waved his hand and said:

"There's no need for this in front of me. My current identity cannot be made public.

You can call me Leader or Mr. in the future."

After a long silence, Arnold took the lead in calming down and accepted this extremely impactful fact.

He asked:

"Leader? Does Your Majesty want to organize an adventurer team?"

Cohen nodded and said:

"Three days later, we are going to the Duchy of Gavin in the Kingdom of Ceylon. There is a ruin of an Arcane Empire there, which is our first destination.

I have something very important inside that I need to retrieve.

In addition, we will be going on a long trip in three months. An adventurer team identity is very useful for us."

Cohen had already unceremoniously put the "Concentric Curse Seal" on his own label.

Asuna sighed on the side:

"So you are indeed, as the bards say, a Child of Prophecy?"

Cohen smiled lightly, did not answer Asuna's question, but turned to hand the three contracts to Asuna and Arnold, father and daughter:

"Then, gentlemen and ladies, please sign the contract!

Although I am willing to trust you unconditionally, having a soul contract from the ancient Elven race as a constraint can make us feel more at ease with each other."

The three of them didn't say anything more, picked up their pens and signed their names directly on the contract.

When the three of them signed their names, a dazzling light enveloped them.

The three of them immediately felt a strange rune deep in their souls.

Cohen's voice sounded softly in the ears of the three people:

"As stated in the contract, as long as you are absolutely loyal, this rune will not cause you any harm.

On the contrary, it will also protect your soul from any soul-searching skills."

The light disappeared, and Cohen looked at his team, thinking about the characteristics of his extraordinary profession.

He came up with another chuunibyou name that was no less than his alter ego:

"From now on, our adventurer team will be called 'Endless Blade'!

Our goal is to have everyone equipped with an artifact and to crush all reactionary forces!"

… …

Cabinet Minister, Kingdom High Judge Baron Gore was in a very bad mood today.

Because last night, he learned some bad news from his personal secretary, Herman.

The Kingdom Senate had set its sights on a case he had handled three years ago when he was still the Dean of the Emerald City First Court.

He understood Herman. He was introduced by his uncle and was relatively reliable.

Moreover, this person didn't talk much, worked cleanly and neatly, and had a sense of propriety, so he wouldn't open his mouth randomly.

Since Herman said so, then this news was very likely to be true!

After understanding this fact, Gore's heart twitched inexplicably.

An unspeakable fear grabbed his throat like an invisible hand, and he couldn't sleep all night while lying in bed.

Even the tempting body of the lover in his arms could not dispel the haze in his heart.

Early the next morning, he came to the office early. He couldn't sit still and wait for death!

Whether the other party was doing it by chance, or really had some clues.

No matter what the other party can find out in the end, he must take decisive measures.

After all, the Queen is now in power!

It's a woman!

No woman would tolerate her minister doing that kind of thing!

Gore didn't dare to think about the consequences.

If something really happened, even the Prime Minister wouldn't be able to protect him.

He had already experienced the Queen's anger. Every time he thought of the severed arm of the eldest son of the Duke of Southern Border, he felt a chill in his neck.

He quickly called his confidant subordinate, Permanent Secretary Gutavo.

Baron Gore closed the door and lowered his voice as much as possible:

"Help me make an appointment with Theodore. I have something of vital importance to discuss with him.

The sooner the better!"

Gutavo was stunned for a moment, almost suspecting that the matters planned by the High Judge and the DuPont family had been leaked?

He forcibly suppressed the surprise and doubt in his heart and nodded:

"I'll go there right away, but I haven't finished the speech for tomorrow's Cabinet Standing Committee meeting.

You have ordered that this meeting is very important, and representatives from the Four Borders will attend.

Her Majesty the Queen will also announce major personnel appointments at the meeting…"

Baron Gore thought for a moment and said:

"Transfer all the information to Herman.

Young people, it's time to train them, we always have to give them some opportunities."

Gutavo was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking about what connections this Herman had made to suddenly gain the favor of the High Judge.

He wisely didn't ask any more questions, responded, and left quietly.

… …

Herman's office.

After Herman watched Gutavo leave, he looked around and took out a dark communication stone.

Ding-dong.

Cohen took out the communication stone. It was his trump card agent, Herman, oh no, it should be the intelligence sent by "Deep Sea"!
