Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 198: The Queen's Sister: The Temptation of a Top-tier "Succubus"! (-word chapter!)
(Now comes the climax. Starting today, I will post 10,000 yuan a day. I hope everyone will give me subscriptions and monthly tickets!)

Belmodi looked through the gift Cohen had put down, and an expression of shame, anger and shock appeared on her beautiful face.

If those clothes might have been chosen by Rosalina, then these jewels, accessories, necklaces and the like could not have been bought by Rosalina at all.

Belmodi, who raised Rosalina since childhood, naturally knows his sister's character very well.

This little girl who has loved playing with guns and sticks since she was a child knows nothing about jewelry and other things. How could she choose such things as gifts?
Moreover, Belmodi had traveled around the human continent in his early years, and these jewelries were obviously valuable at first glance, like high-end luxury goods from the "Flaming Lips" Chamber of Commerce.

Where can Rosalina, a killer hiding her identity in the "Black Tomb", buy such things?

Belmodi quickly guessed in his mind that these things were bought by the romantic King Cohen!
When she opened the clothes and saw what was inside, Belmoodi's breathing stopped.

It’s okay to buy some jewelry, but what’s the matter with all those messy clothes?
There were suspender skirts, deep V evening gowns, nude high heels with rivets, stockings of all styles, and even some sexy lingerie that would make Her Excellency the Witch blush...

What on earth does this bastard want to do!
Belmodi Wynyard's astonishing aura directly enveloped the entire wizard tower.

Belmodi felt that he should not have let this guy go. What did this mean? Was he teasing her so blatantly?
He even said that he didn't have any dirty thoughts in his mind. What a hateful man!

Belmodi took a deep breath, suppressed the shame and anger in his heart, and made up his mind that he must teach Cohen a profound lesson when they meet next time!

If Cohen knew that his kind gift made Belmoody hate him, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

It's not really Cohen's fault, because he didn't choose these things.

Cohen didn't understand what women liked, so he commissioned a senior executive of the Chamber of Commerce to prepare it.

This executive is a relative of Grace and is Grace's cousin. It was she who arranged for Cohen to become the personal secretary of the chairman of the "Flaming Lips" Trading Company in the Kingdom of Ceylon.

He is one of the people Grace trusts the most.

When Cohen explained this to her, he only said that it was for a slightly more mature woman, but he didn't say who it was specifically.

When the cousin heard this, she naturally thought that Cohen was referring to Grace.

Ever since Grace inexplicably found herself such a young private secretary of the opposite sex, the cousin has regarded Cohen as her future brother-in-law.

Therefore, naturally, I spared no effort to help Cohen choose some small gifts that could promote the warming of the relationship between the two.

Moreover, she stuffed the more embarrassing clothes into the deepest part, deliberately not letting Cohen notice them.

I just wanted to give them both a surprise.

Unfortunately, what she prepared was not a surprise at all, but a naked shock.

Putting aside Belmodi's psychological activities, after Cohen left the Wizard Tower, he directly returned to the Endless City through the "Book of Time and Space".

Arnold's army had already set out for Florence.

Windsordler and others had almost finished packing, but due to Grace's identity, she could not appear in public.

Therefore, she was the only one left in the "Endless City" to look after the house.

After Windsardler handed over the government affairs of the Endless City to Grace, he followed Cohen on the journey to Florence.

Cohen opened the "Book of Time and Space" and left the "Lost Land" with several people.

In the Emerald Lake Villa, violent spatial fluctuations were heard, and soon, Cohen and his four companions appeared in the living room.

Then, a timid voice came from a distance:
"Sister, long time no see."

Hearing this familiar voice, Mephis' expression changed. He looked at Rosalinsha who stood up from the sofa next to him and snorted coldly:
"How dare you call me sister? Look at what you have done!"

Knowing that Cohen would bring Mephis back today, Rosalina naturally would not miss it and came to the villa early to wait.

Rosalina smiled awkwardly and moved her eyes to see Windsardelle and Freya standing next to Cohen.

Freya is okay, just a little girl, not a threat.

Rosalina's focus was on the beautiful winged elf.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Cohen quickly said:
“I haven’t introduced you yet. Um, this is Miss Rosensa Tinuville, the younger sister of our Infinity Blade Adventure Group’s Intelligence Officer.

Meilansha, this is Miss Windsordler, and this is Miss Freya, please get to know each other."

Meilansha concealed her inner emotions, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she stretched out her hand to Windsordler and said:

"I've heard Cohen mention a very capable assistant a long time ago. I'm sure he's talking about Sister Windsor."

Windsordale also responded with a smile:
"Really? Cohen often said that he had a very good friend who worked in the Black Tomb. I guess that must be Miss Rosalina."

Although the conversation between the two was very friendly, Cohen always felt that there was an inexplicable chill in the air.

He couldn't help but think in his heart that for the harmony and stability of the harem, there must be a harem master with enough prestige. Well, the queen sister is fully capable of playing this role.

In a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, the few people quickly became familiar with each other.

After the small talk, Cohen got down to business.

His plan was to place Windsard and Mephis in the Military Control Commission, each leading a team of extraordinary action teams, lurking in the city as a mobile force, ready to go out at any time.

Rosemary will lead the newly established Northwest branch of "Black Tomb" and will work with Prince Xia Zuo's men to launch a counterattack at the right time.

After the arrangements were completed, Cohen secretly sent a message, calling out Asuna and Nephthys, and the "Infinity Blade" adventure team had a small team-building event.

The expression on Rosalina's face became increasingly ugly. While eating, she secretly asked Mephis how many other women were around Cohen.

Mephis sighed lightly and said to Rosalina that in addition to Cohen's legitimate queen and Isabella, the daughter of the Golden Wing, there was also an imperial princess in the "Lost Land". Judging from the situation, she would not be able to escape Cohen's clutches.

Hearing this, Rosalina became furious and wanted to pounce on Cohen and bite him hard.

After arranging accommodations for the girls, Cohen returned to the palace to prepare for the approaching Northwest Regional Exchange Meeting.

……

In Adair's study, Cohen sat at the desk with two file boxes of different colors placed in front of him.

On the far left is a red file box, which has been approved.

On the right is the blue file box, which is unauthorized.

The right side is obviously much higher than the left side, and the contrast is very clear.

Cohen carefully read tax returns, foreign trade, debt relations, etc. from all over the country.

As for the rest of the government affairs, such as the assessment and promotion of officials, territorial disputes among local nobles, judicial cases requiring the king's personal approval, and some religious affairs, Cohen took a quick glance at them and threw them into the blue file box, waiting for the queen to deal with them.

Cohen was only interested in finance and the military.

In order to speed up her plan to train a young king, Adair has recently strictly restricted Coen's time outside, as if returning to the strict teacher who taught Coen magic when he was young a few years ago.

He was required to handle government affairs in the study for two hours every day, and after each session, Yadel would review it again and point out any inappropriateness in a timely manner.

Cohen read it seriously for a few days at the beginning, but later he couldn't stand the boring government affairs. Every day he just picked out some financial and military documents to read, and spent the rest of the time happily slacking off.

After Cohen looked over the tax situation in the Eastern Territory, he checked the time and found that it was still early for the two hours stipulated by the Queen, so he began to fish with peace of mind.

It’s not right to say that he is slacking off. Cohen is also doing serious work. He is using a communication stone with a very unique shape.

This communication stone itself carries a bone-chilling chill, and the entire thing is a deep, dark color. Its surface is covered with winding and twisted lines, like the blood vessels of a demon.

The edges are jagged and jagged, and in the center there is a ball of faint purple flame dancing, giving people a strange feeling that it may go out at any time but will never disappear.

On the back is a number "8" that exudes a strange aura. The strokes are made up of twisted black vines, and there is a faint dark red light flowing.

A special inter-dimensional communication stone!
Produced by Pawnshop No. 8!

The conditions Cohen proposed last time were too tempting for Mammon, and this financier from hell flattered Mammon and asked someone to send this valuable inter-dimensional communication stone to Cohen, just to facilitate communication between the two.

Recently, whenever Cohen has time, he would tease the third councilor of the Black Tomb, the master of the third layer of hell.

After a long negotiation, the two men had almost reached an agreement. Cohen suddenly put forward another condition and asked Mammon to help pass a message to someone in the middle.

When Mammon heard who Cohen was going to deliver the message to, he was deeply surprised and thought to himself that this kid might have predicted something important again, why did he think of provoking this person.

However, considering that the two of them had a good conversation, Mammon did as Cohen asked.

Just as Cohen was happily slacking off, a series of light and crisp sounds of high heels came from deep in the corridor, with great penetrating power, like the clanging of pearls and jade.

Cohen quickly put away the communication stone, took out a few documents from the blue file box, placed them on the table, and pretended to read them.

Her jade feet step lightly, and every step is like the wind.

Soon, a pair of gold crystal single-strap stiletto heels came into Cohen's sight.

Cohen's heart was moved. He had been having frequent sex with Rosalina and Windsordel recently, and he was getting addicted to it.

Looking at the white jade-colored instep of Adele's exposed feet, which looked like natural jade, he raised it shamefully.

Oh my god, I can’t stand my sister’s charm anymore.

Adele sat next to Cohen with ease, her long and plump legs pressed against Cohen's thighs.

Her right leg was habitually placed on top of her left leg, with her right knee slightly raised, making the line of her calf faintly visible between her golden palace skirt.

The exposed skin is snow-white and translucent, like a white peony just blooming in the frost. The tender flesh on the edge of the thigh, against the backdrop of the golden skirt, looks as clear and flawless as the first snow in the morning.

Adele picked up the document Cohen had reviewed and began to look through it.

Cohen was clearly a head taller than Adele, and since they were sitting so close together, he could see all sorts of beautiful white things at a glance.

Cohen sniffed the fragrance emanating from Adele's body, his eyes occasionally glancing at the smooth and full curve of her chest, and he felt the desire in his heart rising all the way.

Tsk tsk, I used to think Rosalina’s was big enough, but I didn’t expect her sister to be a numerical weirdo too!
Why did he feel that the Queen was even more like a succubus than Grace? It was too exaggerated. Even if Grace was in that state last time, he could resist her.

This time in front of Adele, even his willpower at its peak was useless. He felt like he was about to fall prey to her amazing charm.

This has already surpassed the limits of human beings. The charm emanating from Adele is likely mixed with a hint of divinity.

Cohen kept repeating to himself, hold on, hold on, in a month at most, you can do whatever you want to the women around you openly.

Adair naturally didn't know the dirty thoughts in Cohen's mind, otherwise she would definitely make him taste the beating she had given him as a child.

She quickly finished reading the documents approved by Cohen, with admiration in her eyes. She reached out and rubbed Cohen's head, saying:
"Your Majesty did a good job. Although you were slow in reviewing, you were very thorough and your comments were insightful."

When Adele extended her hand, her chest rippled slightly. Cohen wondered if the Queen would be angry if he leaned over at this moment.

Just as Cohen was hesitating, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the study, followed by the somewhat panicked voice of the palace maid:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The smile on Adair's face suddenly stopped, and she said in a deep voice:
"What are you panicking about? Come in and tell me."

The maid lowered her head and walked into the room, not daring to look at Cohen, who was in a very ambiguous position with Her Majesty the Queen, and said hurriedly:

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister has asked me to urgently inform Your Highness that Viscount Cliff Gaunt is dead!"

Viscount Clive Gaunt?
Yadel frowned slightly, recalled the name in her mind, and soon remembered that it was the heir to the Southern Territory whose arm she had broken?
Cohen on the side was also slightly surprised. Cliff was dead?
When did this happen?
It seems that there will be big changes in the Southern Territory. He can't wait to contact his bronze medal subordinate stationed in the Southern Territory, Sandro Gant, the second son of the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, to inquire about the specific situation.

Adair's face was calm as she asked:

"He's dead, so what? There's more than one heir in the Southern Territory. What's the big deal?"

The palace maid lowered her voice and said:

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister asked me to tell you that Viscount Cliff died from the explosion of an ice-attribute magic circle hidden in his body!"

Ice attribute, magic circle!

Adair's expression suddenly darkened.

Obviously, she was the only one in the entire Effiein group who met this condition and had attacked Cliff.

Who could it be who is being framed without a doubt?

Cohen naturally knew that this was Andre's doing. It was he who had brought the tampered holy fruit of the elf to Cliff through Sandro.

Since this has happened now, it means that the Eastern Territory Empire is ready to take action!

It also means that the prelude to the war has begun!

A flash of thought passed through Yadel's brows, her face remained calm as she waved her hand and said:
"Go down and tell the Prime Minister to summon the Cabinet, the Senate, and members of the royal family to meet in the Council Chamber in an hour."

"Yes!"

Adele adjusted her expression, turned back to look at Cohen, and said with a smile:

"Little brother, can I discuss something with you?"

Little brother.

Since he ascended the throne, the name Yadel has not been used for a long time.

Cohen's heart was moved. Adair's calling him "little brother" brought back many good memories of the past.

Since Adele took the initiative to use this tone and address, Cohen probably guessed what Adele wanted to say.

Although she didn't know who framed her behind the scenes, she could realize that the final battle was not far away.

Cliff's death is most likely the trigger for everything. Florence and the entire Effiin are about to fall into unpredictable and violent turmoil.

Adele decided to fulfill the agreement she had made with the Golden Wing Family and send Cohen away!

Seeing that Cohen didn't answer, Yadai took two steps forward, gently put her arms around Cohen's back, raised her head slightly, looked at Cohen with a gentle look in her eyes, and opened her red lips slightly:
"Listen to your sister and leave Florence for a while, okay?"

Cohen's heart was beating violently, and he thought to himself, Sister, you broke the rules!
Who can stand you like this?

Cohen forcibly suppressed the charming thoughts in his heart and said dryly:
"Do I have to leave my sister? Am I not doing well enough?"

Adele caressed Cohen's face lovingly and said softly:
"Little brother, you have done an excellent job, and I am very proud of you.

It’s because I’m not strong enough and can’t protect you for the time being.

But it doesn't matter. After this crisis is over, no one in the entire continent will dare to touch you anymore. By then, you will be the one and only, undisputed king of Effiin!"

Adair tilted her head slightly, her beautiful face getting closer and closer in Cohen's eyes, until their noses touched. Her magnetic whisper contained a hint of pleading, and carried an intoxicating fragrance:
"Listen to my sister and go, okay?"

Cohen sighed. It wasn't that he wasn't good enough, it was just that his sister was too charming.

What else can I do now? Of course I agreed.

Well, King Effiin has left, and the Lord of Shadows is online!
Adair left, giving Cohen a day to prepare.

At least in Yadel's opinion, at this time tomorrow, the second elder of the Golden Wing Family will take him away as previously agreed.

Cohen looked at Adele's departing figure with mixed feelings.

No, sister, you have done enough. Next, let me provide you with a roof over your head!
Cohen took a deep breath, collected his complicated thoughts, took out the communication stone, and contacted his bronze medal subordinate, Sandro Gant, the second young master of the Southern Territory.

Time goes back to an hour ago, in the southern border, the Grand Duke's mansion.

The dim room was filled with an atmosphere of luxury.

Cliff Gaunt, the heir to the Southern Territory, who had a strong physique and deep eyes and whose appearance Cohen complained was that of a "cowherd", slumped among a pile of quilts with disheveled clothes and a blank look in his eyes.

There were several heavily made-up women around him, who were giggling and trying to attract Cliff's attention. However, Cliff, who had indulged himself too much, just numbly put his hand on the bare shoulder of one of the women.

Cliff's gaze fell on his own arm, the arm that had been severed by Adair, the woman he had long admired.

Although the physical damage could be compensated by taking the Holy Fruit of the Elf, the mental humiliation and hatred were like an indelible scar, branded deep in Cliff's heart.

Memories flooded back. Back then, under the aura of family glory, he had strived to excel in every aspect. Back then, he had been the pride of his family, a shining rising star in everyone's eyes, and the undisputed heir to the title of Grand Duke.

But all that changed after that humiliation.

Adair Angrain!
The goddess-like figure that she had always admired actually attacked her without mercy, all for her foolish husband!
Whenever he thought of this incident, Cliff's heart felt like it was pierced by countless sharp arrows, and he felt excruciating pain.

Cliff's eyes flashed with astonishing resentment and hatred. "You two, this pair of bastards, when I inherit the Grand Duke's throne, I will definitely make you suffer..."

Before Cliff could make up his mind, he suddenly felt a chill coming from his new arm.

He had felt that kind of bone-chilling coldness before, when he fell from the peak to the lowest point in his life!
This extreme ice magic seemed to freeze his breath.

Cliff's eyes widened in horror. He tried to struggle and call for help, but found that he could not move his body.

Immediately afterwards, a dark blue ice pattern quickly spread across his arm. It was a complex and exquisite ice-attribute magic circle!
The magic circle flickered with an icy blue light. As the light grew stronger, Cliff's body began to be covered by ice. The bone-chilling cold froze his soul and body.

His consciousness gradually became blurred, and Cliff's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only make a faint whimper. In extreme pain and despair, Cliff Gaunt, the first heir to the Southern Territory, died!
Those women were already terrified and fled from this horrific scene screaming!

The Grand Duke of the South, Kruger Gaunt, is a burly man, like a towering mountain.

When the magic circle on Cliff's arm erupted, Kruger had already felt the terrifying momentum.

But when he arrived, Cliff had turned into an ice sculpture without any breath of life.

Kruger's tall body trembled violently, and his originally majestic face twisted instantly. His pupils were covered with bloodshot in an instant, as if fire was about to spit out.

An injured arm, extreme ice properties, and a hidden magic circle!

There is no need to say more about who the murderer is!

The Grand Duke of the Southern Territory was filled with humiliation and anger!
Angus!
Look at your wonderful daughter!
How dare you do this for an idiot king!

I have given in again and again and tolerated it again and again!
You are pushing me into a dead end!
The terrifying momentum of a Half-Step Legend enveloped the entire Grand Duke's residence, and a terrifying roar resounded through the sky:

"Order, assemble the three armies!"

……

Sandro looked deeply at Andre, who was sitting in front of him and calmly adding water to his cup, and felt only fear in his heart.

He swallowed and subconsciously wanted to spit out the tea he had just drunk.

Who on earth is this guy? Just now, when he was chatting and laughing with me, he actually took action and detonated the hidden hand that was left in the holy fruit of the elves!
It was equivalent to murdering his own brother in front of him!
Although Cliff has always been at odds with him, Sandro couldn't help but feel a little sad because of his cold and ruthless style of behavior.

After the Archduke's roar subsided, Andrea chuckled and said to Sandro:

"Congratulations, the future Grand Duke of the Southern Territory... No, the future King of Effiin!"

There was no trace of joy or excitement in Sandro's eyes. His heart was filled with fear. He laughed dryly and said:

"I don't understand what you are saying, sir."

Andre laughed and said:
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. When you ascend the throne, you will understand."

The conversation between the two did not last long. Soon, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory sent someone to call Andrea and Sandro.

In the Council Hall, the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory had a face as solemn as a statue, with no discernible expression.

The military and political leaders all lowered their eyes and remained silent, even breathing carefully, for fear of alarming the Grand Duke who was on the brink of a volcanic eruption.

After Andre and Sandro came in, Kruger moved his lips:
"Sir, what does His Royal Highness Saxon say?"

Andre bowed slightly and said:

"A thousand 'elite' [Ceylon Oath] soldiers are ready outside the border.

As long as you are willing to open the gate to the south, these one thousand [Ceylon Oath] will immediately become your most loyal soldiers."

Kruger asked in a deep voice:
"A thousand elite troops alone cannot conquer Florence."

Andre's voice was neither hurried nor slow:

“Everyone above the ninth level in Aifeiyin has been dealt with!

What we need is a transition of power, and you are our chosen spokesperson."

A stern look appeared on Kruger's face:
"Any more?"

Andre:
"Grand Duke of the Western Territory, Falkenham Francis, will join the rebellion."

Kruger's eyes showed obvious surprise:
"Impossible, Falkenhayn is married to the Corleone royal family!"

Andre replied calmly:
"His son has offended Archduke Ferdinand of the Central Empire, and only my people can help him."

Kruger no longer showed any hesitation. He swept his murderous gaze over the military and political leaders of the Southern Territory and said in a deep voice:
"My son's revenge is just a personal grudge, we are here today for the greater good!
We in the South have been faithfully fulfilling our mission since we followed the Corleone family three thousand years ago.

And now, the she-wolf of House Angrain has plotted to murder His Majesty, monopolized government affairs, appointed people based on personal connections, engaged in espionage politics, and even killed the important court official Vaughn Collins in court!
It has reached a point where it is outrageous to both humans and gods, and is intolerable to heaven!

As descendants of the Four Knights, the Gaunt family, and heirs to the 'Sword' emblem, tell me what we should do!

The adjutant on Kruger's left stood up first, raised his arms and shouted:

"Punish the traitors and restore the royal power. This is our duty!"

Then, the whole hall roared with anger:
"Punish the traitors and restore the royal power. This is our duty!"

"Duty-bound"!
Before the meeting ended, Andre gave Sandro a suggestive look covertly, then left the meeting room with a chuckle.

After arriving at a safe place, he first reported the situation to Saxon, the third prince of the Kingdom of Ceylon, telling him the news that the southern border had rebelled and asked him to be prepared.

He then contacted his real master, Xia Zuo Tang of the Eastern Territory Empire.

Xia Zuo: "The timing is perfect. There are still ten days until the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference. If all goes well, ten days will be enough time for the southern troops to surround Florence and force the Corleone royal family to step down."

Andre: "There are still a few difficult figures in the Florentine Senate, and Queen Adele of Effiin should not be underestimated."

Xia Zuo: “Don’t worry, this time it’s about whether I can successfully subdue the Golden Wing Family. I’ve prepared based on Aifeiyin’s strength being five times greater.

This time, Uncle Quentin will personally lead the team to the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference, and he will be the core commander of everything."

Andre's face was filled with astonishment, and he quickly replied:
"In this way, Prince Quentin's position is exposed, isn't it?"

Xia Zuo: "It's just a safety measure. Have you forgotten what I said before? I estimated it based on five times the strength of Aifeiyin. Under normal circumstances, Uncle Wang would not have to take action.

Even if something unexpected happens, it will be exposed. At this point, there is no need to hide it anymore.

As long as this operation is successful, I can marry into the Golden Wing Family. With the Golden Wing Family, the richest family in the entire continent, I won't need my uncle to secretly raise funds for me."

Andre suddenly realized it, and the two discussed some specific details of the action.

As for Sandro after breaking up with Andre, he was definitely not that honest.

As a bronze medal killer developed by Cohen himself, Sandro had almost no hesitation. After finding a free opportunity, he reported everything that happened here to Cohen.

Cohen, who was in the study, looked at the message sent by Sandro and felt a chill in his heart.

Xia Zuo, Andre, are they finally ready to take action?
Well, let’s clear them all out in one go!

After reading the specific action plan sent by Sandro from the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory, Cohen soon received news from the Grand Duke of the Western Territory, Falkenham.

The above is pretty much the same as what Sandro said.

Andre had already agreed with him that as soon as they received the news that the Grand Duke of the Southern Territory had raised an army, the Western Territory would immediately join in.

Falkenhayn is now asking Cohen's opinion, and he is not sure what Cohen's purpose is.

Cohen gave him a location and told him to wait there, and asked him to take weapons and equipment for an extra thousand soldiers, and not to worry about the rest.

Although Falkenham was confused, he had the leverage in the other party's hands after all, so he obediently followed Cohen's instructions.

After finishing all this, Cohen stood up and stretched his body. A chilling light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured softly:

"With the blood of legends and saints, let us announce the return of the King of Effiin!"

……

In the Effiin Council Chamber, the three parties were clearly divided.

The Cabinet is headed by Prime Minister Angus, who sits on the left.

The Senate is headed by Prince Hauge, who sits on the right.

The direct descendants of the Corleone family, headed by Fred Corleone, stood in the center.

Adele sat high on the throne, which naturally caused some dissatisfaction among the Corleone royal family.

Fred Corleone, the royal family member who was kicked out by Adele last time for wanting to intercede for Vaughn Collins, is the most senior and prestigious member of the Corleone royal family.

Both Cohen and Adair had to call him "Uncle".

Uncle Fred seemed to still remember the grudge from last time. Before Adele could speak, he asked first:

"Your Highness, where is His Majesty?"

Adair's voice was cold:
"His Majesty has something to do, so he will not attend this meeting."

Fred then attacked:

“If His Majesty does not show up, Your Highness should not sit in that position, so as not to attract criticism.

Oh, nothing special, I just got intelligence from the southern border, and the slogans shouted by the rebel Kruger seem to be directed at Her Majesty the Queen."

Adele's voice remained calm:

"If Prince Fred has any objections, I can call His Majesty out and ask him in person whether he agrees with me sitting here!"

Fred's face froze. Everyone knew that Cohen was your child now, so it was useless to ask.

Fred snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Yadel sat upright on the throne, his eyes sweeping over the ministers and dignitaries, and said in a deep voice:

"Since we've mentioned Your Majesty, I'd like to make an announcement first. Your Majesty will be away from Florence for a while and will not be attending the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference in a few days.

You all should be mentally prepared."

As soon as Yadel said this, the council hall suddenly became lively.

The Queen actually wants to send His Majesty away?

Where to send it?
At this critical moment, making His Majesty disappear, what exactly does Yadel want to do?
All kinds of complicated, shocked and incomprehensible looks were intertwined.

Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen is really planning to usurp the throne?

Adair turned a blind eye to these people's doubts and speculations. After all, she had long been called the she-wolf of the Angren family and the evil queen who stole her husband's throne.

As long as Cohen understood her, Adele didn't care about the doubts of these weak people.

Seeing that Adele had no intention of explaining to everyone, the ministers, who already had a deep understanding of Her Majesty the Queen's style of doing things, stopped discussing it.

I just kept this matter deeply in mind and secretly speculated on the intention behind Her Majesty the Queen's actions.

After saying this, Adele immediately talked about the most important thing:
“Everyone should already know about this.

Some people may know it more clearly, so I will explain it briefly again.

The heir to the South, Cliff Gaunt, has died, and a rebellion will follow in the South.

Mr. Fred already knows this information, and I have also received related information.

Florence is about to hold a Northwest regional exchange meeting. Let's discuss how we should respond to this emergency."

Everyone was whispering, and most of them looked at a middle-aged man in the cabinet who looked a little panicked.

Baron Sidon, the Minister of Four Border Affairs, is a cabinet minister responsible for maintaining peace and stability in the Four Borders region, contacting the Grand Dukes of the East, South, West and North of Effiin and their families, handling public affairs related to the Four Borders, and supervising the abnormal behavior of the Grand Dukes of the Four Borders to ensure that the status and power of the Corleone royal family are not challenged or threatened by the four most powerful Grand Dukes in the country.

The rebellion in the south made Siddon feel an endless amount of pressure, and he had to endure the scrutiny from his ministers.

Before Adair could ask, Sidon immediately took the initiative to speak:
"Your Highness, according to my observation, the Southern Territory has long harbored rebellious intentions. Grand Duke Kruger of the Southern Territory has been secretly communicating with the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Most of the southern border's external trade was also related to the Kingdom of Ceylon.

It's just that I haven't been able to find any conclusive evidence, so I haven't reported it. This is my dereliction of duty. Your Highness, please punish me!"

Sidun is indeed an old fox. He openly said that it was his own responsibility and his own problem, but in fact he was saying that the rebellion in the southern border had nothing to do with Her Majesty the Queen. It was entirely because of Kruger's greed that he wanted to rebel.

Moreover, he has long been flirting with foreign forces and is a true traitor and traitor.

In this way, at least Her Majesty the Queen will occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, and she will have a legitimate reason to send troops to quell the rebellion.

As expected, after Siddon finished his seemingly apologetic words, Yadel only asked him to maintain good relations with the other three regions and pay attention to the situation in the southern region, without taking any action against him.

After Siddon finished his speech, the atmosphere in the council hall became much more lively, and everyone made some suggestions.

It's nothing more than quickly organizing the army and calming this matter down before the situation escalates, preferably before the Northwest Regional Exchange Conference is held.

In the eyes of many people, the Southern Territory is simply fighting with an egg against a rock.

Not to mention that the entire southern territory has only about 10,000 to 20,000 "basic-level" troops at most. In terms of the number of high-level transcendents alone, the other side only has two legends, one of whom was crippled by Yadel herself more than a year ago.

Moreover, there are several important military towns between the southern border and the royal capital.

The most solid military fortress among them, the Bastion Fortress, was built to prevent the invasion of the Kingdom of Ceylon in the south.

Now it can also be used to resist the rebellion in the south.

The Bastion Fortress is famous for its unique bastion structure, each of which is equipped with more than ten high-level mages and sharpshooters.

A "magic cannon" comparable to forbidden spells is placed on the commanding heights of the fortress.

There are only five of these magic cannons in the entire Eifin.

Each shot requires a top-grade magic crystal stone, which can be said to be the best weapon for defense and siege.

There are also more than 10,000 "basic-level" troops stationed in the fortress.

Just to capture this fortress, the Southern Territory will have to pay a huge price.

Whether in terms of military, political or economic aspects, the South has no advantage.

The only thing worth worrying about is that the southern border is very close to the Kingdom of Ceylon. If the Kingdom of Ceylon intervenes secretly, the situation will become much more complicated.

But there are ways to deal with it.

After discussing it, the ministers took two actions.

The first was to send a royal guard of 1,000 "conventional-level" combat power and three standing armies of "basic-level" combat power, totaling 31,000 people, led by a legendary elder, to the Bastion Fortress to annihilate the southern rebels under the fortress.

The second is to write to the Western Regions Empire, which has always been on good terms with Aifeiyin, requesting the Western Regions Empire to send people to the Kingdom of Ceylon to supervise the other party not to interfere in Aifeiyin's internal affairs.

With these two points, resolving the rebellion in the south will not be a problem.

Of course, there are also subsequent matters such as pacifying the southern border, dealing with rebellion, eliminating the influence of the Grand Duke of the Southern Border in Aifeiin, etc., which also need to be discussed.

After the long meeting, the ministers felt a little relieved after getting the results, and left after the meeting.

When only Adair was left in the council hall, Nephthys slowly walked out from the back and whispered:
"Your Majesty, your plan can begin now!"
