"The dean told you personally?!" Cook first snorted in surprise, and then as if he had thought of something, his face couldn't help but change suddenly, and he knelt down on one knee with a solemn expression and said respectfully: "Cook, the new executive of the Lai Yi Academy, has seen Her Majesty the Empress!"

"Oops, I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon. The Empress gently covered her red lips with some surprise, and then smiled like a close big sister next door.

Although the Empress has always behaved very approachable, Cook still did not dare to relax in the slightest, and even when he heard the Empress laugh at herself, Cook's originally lowered head lowered a little bit.

Just kidding! This is Her Majesty the Empress of a country! He holds forty percent of the power of the empire in his hands, and is the supreme person in the empire! How could he dare to show the slightest disrespect in front of her!

Although the Imperial Cabinet has more and more powers, it is only the remaining sixty percent of the division, and the members of the Cabinet are numerous, about three hundred people so far, and on average, each person has not even the slightest corner of the Empress's rights.

All the remaining organs of the empire are basically operated under the power of the empress, and there are not many local organs that are really allowed to exercise power by the parliamentary cabinet.

This is also the reason why each city has the branch of the Lai Yi Yuan as the head of the organ, and the local councilors of the branch cabinet are all to assist the branch of the Lai Yi Yuan as the main job.

And the members of their headquarters, as the first directly subordinate organ under the empress, naturally could not show the slightest rebellion and disrespect.

"Let's raise our heads first, you can't talk about it all the time. The Empress sat down gracefully on her knees, not minding the dust on the floor, keeping her at the same height as Cook.

"Empress! Stand up!" Cook shouted in fear as he saw the Empress sit down, his pupils constricted in horror.

"This is a library, you can't talk so loudly. ”

"But, ......" Cook looked at the empress in front of him with some confusion, and wanted to say something, but he was stuck in his throat, and could not say anything.

"You're a member of the headquarters, aren't you?" said the Empress chuckled softly and suddenly.

"Yes. Cook gradually calmed down, looked at the Empress and replied respectfully, though he didn't quite understand why the Empress was asking this question.

"That's right, whether it's you, Rio, or the other members of the headquarters, you're the closest to me, you're all my friends, and if you're a friend, it's okay to chat, right?" the empress smiled, and the pure smile she showed was intoxicating.

"Friend, this will never work!" said Cook, leaning over solemnly.

The Empress looked at Cook with a solemn and serious look, frowned slightly with some difficulty, and then sighed softly with some sorrow.

"Why are you so brainless? Everyone else in the headquarters is happy. The Empress grumbled.

Cook leaned over and bowed his head, silent for a long time.

The empress finally put on a sad look, and looked helplessly at the meticulous Cook in front of her.

"By the way, why did you lie that you were Hylando's assistant?" asked the Empress with a look of joy as if she had thought of something.

Cook looked up in amazement and looked at the empress in a daze.

He didn't believe that the empress would not be able to think of the reason, after all, in the entire empire, the only one who had the right to directly affect the empress was the councillor's cabinet.

Although the power is scattered, as long as it is concentrated, even the empress has to choose to compromise.

"It's because I'm worried that the Council's Pavilion won't recognize me, after all, I'm only a first-order ability, so in the palace, I think it's better to act as Sister Lan's assistant. Although I am puzzled, I will try to answer the Empress's question if I can, Cook thinks.

"You're worrying too much, most of the Legislature's Cabinet are still righteous people, except for those stubborn old men, and they don't have the right to interfere with your headquarters. The Empress had clearly anticipated Cook's answer, and at the moment Cook had just finished speaking, she spoke as quickly as she could.

"But the power of the Cabinet is great......," Cook muttered quietly.

"No matter how big it is!" the Empress replied proudly, and then asked Cook with a twinkle in her eyes and full of interest, "Do you know how many votes they need to veto one of my decisions?"

"Multi-...... How much?" asked Cook, a little trembling.

"It's more than half!" said the empress in an exaggerated and cute whisper with five fingers, "If you want to meddle in the affairs of your headquarters, you need more than eighty percent of the votes to apply to me." ”

"Is that so?" replied Cook dumbly, but he wanted to cry without tears.

When he accidentally learned some major secrets, he was undoubtedly very apprehensive in his heart.

"Also, what are you looking for here?" the Empress's chatter box seemed to be completely opened, and when one topic ended, the next topic was quickly raised.

"By the way, I'm here to find information about the Faceling. Being reminded by the Empress like this, Cook finally remembered his purpose in a trance.

Almost subconsciously, he raised his feet to stand up, but soon reacted back, and staggered back to the same state.

I'm going to die, I'm going to ignore the empress and stand up!

Cook broke out in a cold sweat, his muscles were straight, and he lowered his head solemnly, not daring to look at the empress.

The Empress chuckled, and Cook's flurry of reactions amused her.

"'Faceless', I think it was a case in the southern region of the empire, and it was quite a big fuss at the time. The Empress nodded, and said with some concern.

"Southlands?!" Cook exclaimed in surprise.

After the destruction and destruction of the gods and demons Emperor Gu, the southern region of the empire was very dilapidated, and even now, the southern region of the empire has not fully recovered.

Moreover, everywhere Emperor Gu passed, it was as if some kind of curse had been cast, and the number of supernatural beings in the southern region of the empire had decreased rapidly in the past fifty years, and the compatibility of supernatural beings was also growing slowly, not to mention the birth of a second-order superability.

Is it possible that in such a place where the Paranormal has been defeated, there will be an incident like the "Faceless Ghost" that affects the whole world?

Could it be someone from another region who ran over to commit the crime?, Cook couldn't help but wonder.

"Cook, we've found the missing data again, you don't have to look for it. Behind the bookshelf, Fenris's head poked out slightly, looked at Cook, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and whispered, "That guy from Meisjie, who put himself in a drawer, actually forgot about it." ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty?!" With a flicker of his eyes, Fenris quickly saw the Empress opposite Cook, and his stunned eyes were about to bulge out of his sockets.

Only to hear a plop, Fenris also knelt on one knee with very neat movements, leaned down, and said respectfully: "Lai Yi Yuan intelligence processor, Fenris has seen Your Majesty!"

"I've said it a few times, but you don't have to be so inhibited in private. The Empress said with some grumbling.

"To be honest, it's still very difficult to do......" Hearing this, Fenris couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Apparently Rio never happens like this!" the Empress muttered to herself, her voice small but still caught by Cook and Fenris on the side.

The two couldn't help but look at each other and secretly smiled bitterly.

Everyone at the headquarters of the Rheyi Academy knows about the close relationship between you and the Dean of Rio, and of course he can not care about it, but we are different, and this is really difficult to do.

"By the way, do you know where Rio has been lately?" The Empress suddenly remembered something and asked the two in front of her.

Cook and Fenris looked up in surprise and looked at the Empress with puzzled expressions.

"Don't you know?" asked Fenris.

The Empress shook her head lightly and said, "To be honest, I haven't seen him for almost a month. ”

Cook and Fenris looked at each other and winked, and Gu saw a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.

Even the empress, who is very close to him, does not know about the deeds of the dean of Rio? What did the dean run to do? Is there any extremely special task? It is necessary to hide from everyone to deal with it.

I can't figure it out! Cook and Fenris sighed in their hearts, depressed.

"Cook, I had a great time chatting with you today, and next time we have a chance, let's talk together. The Empress stood abruptly and looked at Cook and smiled.

"Yes!" Cook replied hurriedly, somewhat flattered, with a restrained expression.

"Are you leaving?" asked Fenris, looking up at the Empress.

The empress nodded lightly and said with a smile: "After all, it's not good to let Xiao Mo wait outside all the time, it's better for me to leave here first." ”

"Besides, I can see that if I don't leave, you won't go back to work, right?"

Cook and Fenris were directly speechless, powerless to refute. Indeed, as the empress said, if the empress did not get up, they would not dare to get up.

Then, as the Empress left, Cook and Fenris let out a long exhale, leaning a little tiredly against the bookshelf beside them. Talking directly to the empress face-to-face, the pressure is simply not ordinary!

Cook even had a feeling that even if he was a rookie idol who was on the stage for the first time, the inner turmoil in his heart was definitely not one ten-thousandth of himself who came into direct contact with the empress.
