My queen is rebelling!
#35 - Aftermath
As the "Eternal Heart" rotated, Cohen retrieved the communication stone and looked at the listless Silver牌 207. He also took away his mask and said to Prince Hauge:
"He's yours to deal with. As a Silver牌 assassin, he should have some information in his head."
Prince Hauge nodded:
"After the last day of the competition tomorrow, don't go out casually anymore.
Now someone has already commissioned 'Black Tomb' to target you, so be extra careful."
Cohen agreed.
After dealing with the matter here, Cohen said to Nafertis:
"Do you still want to live in this manor?
You've already fallen out with Boggs. I'm worried they'll make trouble for this manor. After all, the manor is still nominally an asset of the DuPont family."
Nafertis hesitated, as this was also what she was worried about.
If the DuPont family really disregarded everything to deal with her, she, a small First Order mage, really wouldn't have many options.
Prince Hauge glanced at Cohen with disdain. As far as he knew, Rose Lane was home to many mistresses kept by high-ranking officials and nobles.
This kid could have arranged her anywhere, but he just had to arrange her in that suggestive place.
Cohen turned a blind eye to Prince Hauge's gaze, muttering in his heart, 'What do you know? I'm cultivating goodwill in advance.'
A mage with a family tradition, and a very rare 【Mind Mage】, a five-year contract is not enough. He wants to tie Nafertis firmly to his side.
Cohen didn't give Nafertis a chance to refuse, taking out a piece of stationery and writing an address on it, then handing her a key.
"I'll arrange for someone to clean it up tonight, and you can move in tomorrow."
Seeing Cohen's unquestionable look, Nafertis didn't refuse, and accepted the key under Prince Hauge's strange gaze.
Cohen thought to himself, 'Would you say I'm keeping a mistress?'
It's just that he didn't know if the Queen would freeze him into an ice sculpture if she found out.
The Queen naturally didn't know that her man had secretly taken the first step in keeping a mistress behind her back.
She was currently reading the shocking intelligence that had recently come out of the Transcendent Arena:
Openly confront a Legendary Order Transcendent!
Chant of the Gods!
"Summoning God" successful!
Suspected of making a deal with the God of War!
One person crossed the ranks to defeat ten Second Order Transcendents!
Unbelievable, unimaginable, absurd.
The Prime Minister faintly felt a trace of regret in his heart, knowing that he should have gone in person yesterday.
He also didn't know if Prince Hauge had met with him and conveyed the royal family's thoughts.
The Queen was silent for a long time, waved her hand to write a letter, and called a palace maid, saying:
"Send it to Prince Hauge."
The Prime Minister paced slowly, softly saying:
"I heard that he will continue to challenge across the ranks tomorrow... that is, First Order against Third Order. If he succeeds again... I'm considering whether to go there in person tomorrow?"
The Queen looked thoughtful, and after a moment said:
"Let's wait for the Prince to come and ask about the situation before deciding."
......
Watching Nafertis leave, Prince Hauge glanced at Cohen:
"Her identity is not simple. The mage aura on her body has a hint of ancient meaning."
Cohen nodded slightly:
"She is a survivor of the 'Night Rose' family."
Prince Hauge's face moved slightly, sighing:
"You are really brave. This is a family that was destroyed by the joint efforts of the Five Great Empires, and you dare to take her in."
Cohen stretched his body, not caring, saying:
"It's been so long, the emperors of the Five Great Empires have changed several times, who would care about a small female mage."
As he spoke, the communication stone on Prince Hauge's waist vibrated.
He looked at it and said:
"The Queen has sent a letter, there may be something."
The two looked at each other, and Cohen said:
"It should be asking you about the 'Lord of Shadows'."
Prince Hauge nodded:
"After all, I'm nominally here to win you over. You performed so well today, the Queen and the Prime Minister will inevitably be tempted."
"Then let's go back first."
Cohen and Prince Hauge returned to the mansion and saw the letter, which was indeed asking about the Lord of Shadows. They did not hesitate and immediately set off for the palace.
On the way, Prince Hauge asked:
"If they ask about the recruitment situation later, what should I say?"
Cohen thought for a moment and replied:
"Just say that the conversation was very pleasant, otherwise the Queen and the others will definitely send someone else to contact me, or even come themselves."
The two entered the palace, and the Prime Minister took the lead in asking:
"Did you meet with that 'Lord of Shadows'?"
Prince Hauge nodded and replied:
"I met him, and the conversation went well. He was very satisfied with our sincerity."
The Prime Minister's face showed a kind expression, and the Queen said from the side:
"Can you tell his identity?"
Prince Hauge shook his head:
"Not yet, but it is certain that he should be a noble of Effiein."
This answer reassured the two.
The Prime Minister's eyes flickered, and he said:
"I was wondering if I should go and meet this 'Lord of Shadows' in person tomorrow."
Prince Hauge said in a deep voice:
"In front of so many forces, openly contacting him, is that really a good idea?"
The Prime Minister's face was slightly stagnant, and he sighed:
"You're right, we can't create any more problems at this time. Then let's just be an audience to observe him, and by the way, call those old guys from the cabinet over."
The Queen suddenly said:
"How about letting him secretly enter the palace?"
Prince Hauge looked at the Queen in surprise and said:
"If Your Highness really wants to see him, that might be a good idea, but I have to discuss it with him."
The Queen waved her hand:
"It's not to see me, it's to see His Majesty. I want to hire him as His Majesty's teacher."
Cohen was drinking tea and choked when he heard this, his face flushed red, and he couldn't help coughing.
The Queen frowned slightly, her slender hand moved slightly, and a snowflake floated into Cohen's body. Cohen immediately felt a cool sensation rising in his body, which was extremely comfortable.
"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Cohen shook his head:
"It's nothing, I... I only need my sister as a teacher."
The Queen's brow smoothed, and she said softly:
"After all, I can't be with His Majesty all the time. Letting him be your teacher is one aspect, but more importantly, I hope His Majesty can sincerely befriend him.
Having such a person by His Majesty's side will be of great help to your future development."
Cohen looked embarrassed, his eyes turned to Prince Hauge.
Prince Hauge was also stunned, not expecting the Queen to suddenly make such a decision.
If the 'Lord of Shadows' really entered the palace, wouldn't he be exposed immediately?
He quickly said:
"Your Highness, His Majesty is currently under a spell after all, and his sanity... well, there are some problems.
If we rashly let His Majesty contact him, it will only make him look down on His Majesty, which will not be beneficial to future development."
The Queen was slightly startled, but forgot about this matter.
She looked at the Prime Minister:
"Father, when will that Victor Saint Domain mage's student arrive?"
The Prime Minister's eyes flickered:
"You still won't give up?"
The Queen's eyes were calm, revealing an unquestionable firmness.
The Prime Minister sighed:
"About half a month later."
"Okay, then I'll trouble Uncle Wang to keep in touch with him, and after the spell on His Majesty is lifted, we'll summon that person into the palace."
Cohen and Hauge simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, and the latter responded in agreement.
