My queen is rebelling!

Previously, Cohen had felt that the timing of Cliff Gunther, the eldest son of the Southern Territory Duke, appearing in Florence was too coincidental.

Why did he come to Florence a few days before the royal family was attacked, and happen to make a deal with the "Pale Wings" at that exact time?

It was too much of a coincidence, no wonder Yadel suspected him so much.

Now he understood that all of this was likely a setup by Andre.

Andre wanted to pin the blame for the attack on the royal court on the Southern Territory.

He wanted to use this to force the Queen's family to break with the Southern Territory.

Cohen was certain that Andre definitely had a backup plan.

Even if the Queen hadn't attacked Cliff in the first place, Andre would have definitely sent someone to assassinate Cliff.

And make it look like the Angrian family did it.

By then, the Southern Territory Duke would have lost his son, and would also be suspected by the Queen and Prime Minister of being the culprit behind the attack on the royal family.

If Andre were to incite things further in the name of the Ceylon Kingdom, the Southern Territory would have no choice but to rebel, even if they didn't want to.

Cohen thought even deeper, Andre wouldn't go through so much trouble just to rebel against the Corleone royal family.

The Southern Territory's rebellion was likely just providing an excuse for the Ceylon Kingdom to send troops.

Cohen could already imagine that once the Southern Territory rebelled, ministers in the court would definitely propose asking the Ceylon Kingdom for help.

By then, the Ceylon Kingdom could rightfully send troops to quell the rebellion, and Andre could take the opportunity to cultivate a puppet regime in Effie.

The puppet would either be the Queen, or Cohen, this "child" king.

According to the game's progression in his previous life, Cohen, the king, and those loyal to the Corleone royal family all died, so the puppet chosen should be the Queen.

However, it shouldn't have been successful, after all, Yadel later used Effie's resources to successfully become a god.

That meant Andre's plan wasn't completely successful.

Cohen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Worthy of being called the "Eastern Fox", his plans were layered and interconnected, making them impossible to guard against.

Looking at it this way, had he misunderstood the Prime Minister and the Queen?

But now that he knew who was plotting against him behind the scenes, everything would be easier to handle.

Let's not talk about Xiazuo Tang of the Eastern Domain Empire for now, that kid was too far away from him.

Moreover, it was an empire that occupied a continent after all, so it wasn't easy to confront them openly for now.

He could deal with that Saxon bastard from the Ceylon Kingdom first.

He heard that he even wanted to flirt with Yadel back then, he'll settle the old and new scores together this time!

A trace of killing intent flashed in Cohen's eyes:

You want to rebel against me, don't you?

Then I'll give you a taste of your own medicine.

I'll wait for you to happily ascend to the throne, and then pull you down from the King's seat!

… …

After finishing his thoughts, Cohen came back to his senses and found that the three beauties were staring at him intently.

He quickly straightened his face and said:

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something and got distracted."

Isabella asked curiously:

"Do you know this person?"

Cohen shook his head:

"I can't see his real appearance clearly, I didn't recognize him."

Isabella gave Cohen a deep look and handed Cohen a thick list:

"This is the wealth that the "Black Tomb" Northwest headquarters has investigated, most of which are real estate, with very little liquid funds, it's all on it."

Cohen quickly took the list, even though he was mentally prepared, the estimated value of the wealth on it still shocked him.

"If you need cash, our "Pale Wings" can help you."

Cohen quickly nodded and said:

"Then exchange it all for cash, I see that many of the properties on it are not in Effie, and I can't manage them alone."

"Alright."

Cohen was silent for a few seconds, then took the initiative to say:

"I have a trouble here that I need your help with."

"It's the dragon egg, right."

Cohen nodded.

There were many people present at the time, and the news that he had obtained a dragon egg couldn't be kept secret.

Although he could change his identity and run away, after all, no one knew who was under the mask, at worst he could abandon the identity of "Lord of Shadows".

But he can run away but the temple can't, if they can't find him, those who want to get the dragon egg will definitely find Effie trouble.

Isabella asked:

What do you want us to help you with?

Cohen said softly:

"Announce to the outside world that I made a deal with you for the dragon egg, and the dragon egg is no longer in my hands."

Saintess Garin sneered and said:

"You have a good plan, in this way, all the trouble will fall on our "Pale Wings"!"

Cohen also knew that his request was a bit shameless, and quickly said:

"Although I can't really give you the dragon egg, I can provide you with a message about the dragon egg."

Saintess Garin and Isabella were both interested at the same time, the latter frowned and asked:

"I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, won't using your prediction ability so unscrupulously cause any harm to you?

I heard that the priests of the Prediction Church have strict regulations, they can only predict once a month, and they can't involve creatures stronger than themselves."

Cohen shook his head:

"This time it's not a prediction ability, but a message I got from ancient books."

Cohen took out paper and pen, drew a rough map, and handed it to Isabella:

"I'm not sure about the specific location, you send someone to find it in the western Grand Canyon of the Central Empire, if you can find a place that matches this map, there will be a silver dragon egg inside.

But you have to be careful, there should be many abandoned formations nearby, it's best to find a few transcendents who are proficient in formations when you go."

Garin seemed skeptical, but Isabella readily took the map.

The silver dragon egg that Cohen was talking about was the contract dragon of Asuna Iliad, the future Goddess of War who shocked the continent and was unparalleled in combat power, the Silver Dragon Countess.

Asuna is now just a servant knight in a noble family in the Central Empire, her talent was not outstanding at first, so she was not very valued.

It wasn't until two years later, during an adventure, she accidentally obtained this dragon egg, stimulated the dragon-riding bloodline in her body, and successfully took the secret profession [Dragon Riding Warrior].

Subsequently, in the [Ten Thousand Kingdoms Noble Martial Arts Festival] five years later, she shone brightly with the silver dragon and was favored by the Empress of the Central Empire.

Later, with the support of the Empress's national strength, she established the first and only purebred dragon knight legion on the continent.

Finally embarked on the road to rise, and made great achievements in the [Ten Thousand Kingdoms Hegemony], and was named a hereditary countess.

Cohen giving this dragon egg to the "Pale Wings" was not to seize Asuna's opportunity.

On the contrary, he wanted to give the dragon egg in his hand to Asuna!

Instead of waiting to win over the Silver Dragon Countess, it's better to raise it yourself… cultivate a Silver Dragon Countess.

Let her have a mark that belongs exclusively to Cohen Corleone from the beginning!

Oh right, it may not be the Silver Dragon Countess, Cohen doesn't know what race the dragon egg he got is.

Hopefully it's not some weird race, otherwise a Black Dragon Countess, a Green Dragon Countess, etc., would sound too strange.
