It's not that we're limited to what we can't do;

– Alfred Adler (Austrian psychologist)

In order to ensure that the Covert Guard, an intelligence force that belongs directly to him, is not interfered with by any other outside forces, Charlemagne used an extremely strict method to select qualified commanders for him, and Ames can become the commander of the Covert Guard, which in itself can say something.

The most elite core members of the powerful Hidden Guard are all orphans who were raised from children to elites by Charlemagne himself, and Ames, the current leader of the Hidden Guard, is the best of these orphans.

Twenty years back in time, Ames, who has just come of age, is definitely the most loyal to Charlemagne among all the orphans, with his enthusiasm and loyalty to Charlemagne, Ames, whose strength is only a third-level great swordsman, has stepped up to the top of the power of the Hidden Guard.

You must know that among the Hidden Guards where the strong gather, the number of top Great Swordsmen is not a few, and according to legend, there are even several royal worshippers hidden in the core base of the Hidden Guard, and those are all super powerhouses whose strength has reached the saint-level realm!

Ames was able to break the rule that the strong should be respected and was personally appointed by Charlemagne as the commander of the Hidden Guard, not only because of his loyalty to reassure Charlemagne, but also because of his resourcefulness to compensate for his shortcomings in other areas.

The loyalty of smart people does not last long, and as time passes, Ames, who is not very powerful and powerful, has developed great selfishness while being loyal to Charlemagne, and will gradually turn his selfishness into practical actions.

According to the basic principle of the Covert Guard, all core members of the Covert Guard are not allowed to start a family in order to prevent their family members from being coerced by others to leak the secrets of the Covert Guard, a principle that Ames took the lead in breaking in the tenth year of his tenure as the head of the Covert Guard.

The daughter of a fallen earl, who lives with her younger brother in the civilian area of the imperial capital, is a gentle and beautiful girl who is repeatedly helped by her next-door neighbor after suffering a great disaster in her life, and finally the two fall in love as a matter of course.

Undoubtedly, the neighbor who accompanied her through the low period of her life and had a son and a daughter with her was Ames, who was hidden in the civilian area.

The daughter of a count, who lived in a civilian area, returned to her family's mansion five years later with her brother and two children, and at this time she was no longer the daughter of a fallen count, but a countess who inherited her father's title.

Immediately afterwards, a huge sum of money of unknown origin made this precarious earl family one of the richest earl families in the imperial capital in an instant; because there were too many dukes and marquis families in the imperial capital, the rise of a mere earl family could not attract too many people's attention at all.

Ames, who was already a little frightened, never imagined that his brother-in-law was an out-and-out gentleman, and the experience of living in the civilian area made his brother-in-law even more eager to eat, drink and have fun after returning to the aristocratic life.

In the imperial capital, where there are as many nobles as dogs, at least three or more of the ten people who are randomly thrown with a few bricks are nobles, and the aristocracy eats, drinks and has fun with each other, resulting in fights and brawls between some nobles are also the norm in the imperial capital.

To Ames's helplessness, his brother-in-law took his son to kill the second son of a local marquis governor in a fight, and Ames, who had dealt with this kind of thing countless times for his brother-in-law, really couldn't hold it down this time.

The marquis of the imperial capital is nothing, such people are not a hundred or eighty, they are all imperial moths who rely on the glory of their ancestors, but the marquis who serves as a local governor is different, they are all powerful figures in the empire, and they are feudal officials who have the right to meet Charlemagne.

In all fairness, if it weren't for his only son being involved, Ames, who was wise enough to protect himself, would never have come out to protect his brother-in-law, but at this point, Ames, who was extremely irritable in his heart, had to come forward to find the angry local marquis in person.

After a shady secret transaction, the Marquis, who had lost his second son, did not pursue the matter further, and Ames, who sacrificed the interests of the empire for personal gain for the first time, fell into great self-reproach and deep fear.

Blame himself because this is the first time he has sacrificed the interests of the empire, which is completely contrary to his former beliefs, and fear is because he is afraid that Charlemagne will find out what he has done, in which case, he will definitely be sent to the gallows by the angry Charlemagne himself!

Fortunately, Ames, who was in charge of the Empire, had long taken the Hidden Guard into his own hands, and no one had a chance to report the matter to Charlemagne.

Ames, who had grown wise and wise, sent his brother-in-law to the Imperial Royal Legion for training afterwards, and this training was seven years, and the former useless gentleman, with the help of his brother-in-law, slowly climbed to the position of wing leader.

Before Duke Gna led his army to Sunset Fortress, Fury, the son of Ames, who was less than three months old, was sent by Ames to serve as a squadron leader in his brother-in-law Stark's wing, which belonged to the Fire Legion in the Royal Legion.

After that, Bai Feng took a series of infiltration measures against the Fire Legion, all under the control of Ames, and it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Ames sent this information to Charlemagne, then Bai Feng's best outcome would be to be cleared out of the imperial army.

Out of his own selfishness, Ames secretly collected all the information about Bai Feng, on the one hand, Ames wanted to repay Bai Feng for saving his son, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this to get in touch with the Bai family, which was developing rapidly.

Of course, Ames, who is still hidden in the civilian area, will not leave the imperial capital at any other time except when he will leave the imperial capital during the mission of Charlemagne, so his connection with Bai Feng will only begin to establish after Bai Feng returns to the imperial capital.

However, things are not always going as well as expected, and after the remnants of Sunset Fortress retreat to the province of Nice, Charlemagne, who received a specific battle report, immediately gave Ames an order to collect information about Baifeng, for which Ames had to betray his faith again.

The detailed information about Bai Feng, Ames collected was exactly the version released by the Bai family, even though he knew that Bai Feng had been missing for two years, he still helped Bai Feng hide this matter, and weakened Bai Feng's performance in the Sunset Fortress.

Ames, who knew Charlemagne's personality very well, reported Bai Feng's exploits in Sunset Fortress to a lot, and the fact that Bai Feng infiltrated other imperial legions and secretly expanded his own army was completely covered up.

In this way, there was Charlemagne's promotion of Bai Feng's official promotion, and later, when the Duke of Gna submitted the counteroffensive plan and the application for the number of the legion, in the face of the Duke of Cullen, who reported two things, Charlemagne made a decision to agree.

If it weren't for Ames's selfishness, I'm afraid that Bai Feng's development path within the empire would have failed with the end of the Sunset Fortress battle;
