The man was Alborn, the current head of the Hedda family, with )7 on his face, but his gaze at Jada was not less sharp: "I don't remember ever seeing you, Your Excellency, Duke"

Jada smiled, "Don't you remember?" We met on the battlefield during the First Siko War, and of course, you might not have noticed that after I destroyed the Monster, we met again in Monri, have you forgotten? ”

Alborne's face looked difficult to look at the first battle of Siko, he and his brother talked in front of the army, and finally broke up, but Monri went to collect the bodies of two brothers, one of them was a hero, the other was a disgrace, he was still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at the time, where was he in the mood to pay attention to the others? As soon as Jada mentioned it, his heart was full of bad feelings

He said coldly, "I'm sorry, I can't remember exactly, but I'm sure I don't have a personal relationship with Your Excellency, if you have any requests, please don't hesitate to tell the official in charge of the mission," he stood up, intending to walk out

"Since you're here, aren't you going to take your things back?" Jada asked suddenly

Alben paused and turned back slightly: "I listened to what the person you sent said, I was really surprised, to be honest, I was not interested in the letters you mentioned, I came here just to know who was behind the scenes, now I know, I am a little disappointed, I advise you not to plot against Easter, it is impossible to succeed"

Jada chuckled: "I heard that the Hedda family cherishes their reputation very much, but I didn't expect that the rumors could not be trusted, as the head of the family, he didn't care about such an important object, he was really not smart, and the person who should be disappointed was me."

Alborne's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "Our Heda family does pay great attention to the family reputation, but that doesn't mean that we will deny what has happened

We will never shy away from the mistakes made by our predecessors, and it is a shame to try to cover them up! It is true that I have a brother who betrayed the country, and even the human race, but I also have a brother who is a hero! All of Est knows these facts, and the letters you speak of do not mean anything to me! ”

"Including details that people don't know?" Jada sat down in his chair with confidence, "If only it was simply so-called" The collaborator' letter, of course, is meaningless, but what I have in my hand, including your father's and brother's handwritten letters, addressed to the late Prince Mario, mentions which of the Hedda family's properties can help us, some people can find out the news, and even mentions the names of several ladies who have done a great job for Prince Mario in terms of asking for gossip I have inquired before I came, and those stewards seem to still work under you... Although some are not very obedient, while the ladies live a stable and leisurely life, I heard that your mother is planning to remarry? If the matter is exposed, not only will the Head family suffer another blow, but your future will also be greatly affected, right? ”

Alben stared at Jada tightly, but the latter casually dusted the non-existent dust on his sleeve and said lightly: "The choice is yours, I will not force you to make you more convinced of my words, you can check it a priori" He took out a letter from his bosom with a somewhat worn appearance and handed it to Alben

Alben hesitated for a moment, but still took the letter, opened it, and after reading it, his originally pale face was not bloodless, he trembled and sealed the letter, walked to the wall and the cabinet, found the flint, and burned the letter to ashes before turning his head: "Your Excellency, may I ask how many such letters there are?" ”

"It's not much, maybe seven or eight," Jada recalled, "I remember two more letters, like the one you burned down just now, both mentioning your mother, and the other one mentioning your sisters-in-law, and the other letters that are all your family's secret property and stewards in various countries, and by the way, there are a few who have been sent to us until now, and we have received very valuable information from them not long ago, don't you know?" They seem to be quite upset with you, huh? ”

Alben bit his lip and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose in telling me this?" I don't think you should return the letter for free, right? ”

Jada secretly clenched his right hand into a fist, and he waited for this sentence: "My brother and I are also friends, even if I return the letter to you, it doesn't matter, but I am in a little trouble now, in this foreign country, I don't know who to ask for help, can I ask you for a small favor?" ”

"If you need anything, just go to the official in charge of the reception area!" Alben replied stiffly, but soon regretted that the other party was holding his family's handle in his hand, he shouldn't have angered the other party, thinking of this, he had to slow down his tone: "What do you want me to help with?" ”

Jada curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction: "I heard that you are now a high-ranking person in the Security Agency?" ”

Alborn immediately became alarmed: "I will not divulge any secrets in the department!" We will never do anything that harms the interests of the country! ”

"Don't get excited, I don't need you to provide news, and I don't need you to do anything for me" Jada reassured Alben, "It's really just a little thing, it's about... I plan to build an embassy in Ito Castle."

"Embassy? This is the work of the Department of Outreach."

"Yes, but I suppose the Security Service must have sent someone in secret, right? Maybe it's already sent? ”

Alben narrowed his eyes: "As far as I know, they were indeed sent, but they were all returned by you, I only heard yesterday that they plan to select another batch of people to try in the near future"

Jada was a little surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect this young Heda to be so cooperative, but he was a little skeptical, whether what the other party said was true? After all, I left three coachmen, are they all right? So he said, "I don't know who will be sent?" It would be nice if you could get the list, in fact I'd rather you pick a reliable person or two, and I'll have them send back some useful information as appropriate, but other times..."

Alben lowered his head: "Why?" Is your embassy going to do something wrong? ”

"Of course not," Jada sighed, "I think you also know that our Nuojia national strength is limited, and our wealth is insufficient, I have the heart to make the country better, but that requires money, therefore, I plan to use the embassy as a cover to send a few of my subordinates to do business in East, and the money I earn can replenish the emptiness of the treasury, but it is inconvenient for me to let outsiders know about this kind of thing, otherwise those old stubborns in our country will jump out and curse people."

"It's not a big deal to do business," Alben still kept his head down, "In my country, many nobles own business houses, you don't need to hide these from the Security Department, the Agency will not publicize it"

"But after all, this is the source of finance that Ito and I have high hopes for, and the fact that it is in the hands of another country is really disturbing, and you may feel uneasy, but I hope that the fewer people who know about it, the better," Jada looked at Alben, "Maybe it's not enough to control the sources, the Security Agency will always have other sources."

If you have a way, can you do something about this kind of report?

Alben looked up at him suddenly, and Jada smiled without speaking, and dragged out his tone: "I just hope that my subordinates will not arouse the suspicion of your country when they do business in Ito, in addition to Ito, I also plan to send someone to Yini for such a small favor, you must be able to help, right?" For the sake of seeing... For the sake of the letters I returned? ”

Alborne's eyes narrowed, and his breathing became a little rapid

Although he lied just now, but there was a lot of pressure in his heart, after the Heda family suffered a catastrophe, it was not easy to have signs of coming out, and now the whole family is living a peaceful life, once the letter is leaked, his mother and sister-in-law will lose their reputation, and he himself will not be able to survive in the security department, Heda is a surname, I am afraid that he will never get rid of the reputation of "betrayer".

In the past two years, he only slept three or four hours a day, and most of the time was spent enriching himself and working hard to get to his current position

It is by no means easy to manipulate the report of the Security Service, and the outside world may speculate about the way other government departments work, but as an insider, he knows very well that even if he succeeds once and a half, he will soon be discovered

promised, soon to be discovered, and then kicked out of the security department

If they don't, the letter will be leaked, and the family may be held accountable and they will be kicked out of the Security Department

How to choose?

Alben was so confused that he vaguely felt that Duke Jada was going to do business without telling people, how likely was this kind of thing? Even if it's true, it can't be a simple business act in East, and the large trading house is also the most well-informed place, and the Duke of Jeda probably also has the intention of taking the opportunity to plant spies, right? What was his plan to do this?

Jada watched his face change, but he wasn't worried: "Maybe... Do you need time to think about it? ”

Alben paused: "Yes, I need to think through"

"I hope it won't be too long, and tomorrow I'd like to try Heda's morning refreshments, and you'll send an invitation, right?"

“… No problem" Alben gave Jada a deep look, perhaps, it was time for him to reassess the other party's scheming and power in Ito City

The director, Ms. Leah, personally went to the hunting grounds in the suburbs to conduct a security check for the hunting party on the king's birthday, and the head of the intelligence department, Mallory, entered the palace and has not returned yet, only a few people know the address of Mallory, including him, before breakfast time, he is unlikely to find the intelligence director to discuss this matter, at the same time, his mother has left Ito, and his brother has also gone with him, which means that there is no one around him to discuss

If Jada had inquired about all of this beforehand, he would have been terrible

Alben unbuttoned his neckline to make himself breathe easier, and suddenly found that Jada was looking at him and laughing, he became even more uncomfortable, coughed lightly, and said, "If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave first"

"That's a shame, I would have liked to talk to you more" Jada looked regretful, "I used to work with your brother, and those memories are really impressive"

Alben nodded hurriedly, and wanted to go out, but suddenly the door opened, and a figure jumped in, just threw himself into his arms, startled him, and subconsciously hugged each other, looked down, only to find that it was actually a young and beautiful girl, and hurriedly pushed the person away

"Why are you pushing me?!" The girl snorted, and then asked curiously, "Huh?" I don't seem to have seen you, who are you? ”

"Stella!" Jada frowned and stopped her cousin, "What are you doing here?!" Didn't you say someone invited you to tea? ”

"I've finished drinking, and I saw that the weather was good, so I walked around," Stella smiled flatteringly, "I saw your men outside, and I found out that you are here cousin, is this person your friend?" She turned to Alben and winked, "What's your name?" I'm Stella, and are you also a nobleman from East? Why haven't I ever met you? ”

Alben pressed down the displeasure in his heart and replied in a deep voice: "Because I haven't participated in social activities for a long time" Didn't it mean that Princess Stella of Noga was stable and generous? How could it be like this?!

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, I have to take my leave" he looked at Jada, "I'll get back to you as soon as possible, but please keep it as confidential as possible"

Jada nodded: "Of course" He took his cousin's hand and stopped her from questioning Alben, and he didn't let go until he watched Alborne's back disappear around the corner outside the door

Stella said angrily, "Cousin! Why are you pulling me?! I just want to make more friends! ”

"You have to meet friends, there are many people out there, this person is nothing special"

"Of course it's special! He didn't even look at me, as if I was an ugly bastard," Stella laughed, "The men here drool when they see me, and only he shows me a face, and this kind of person is worthy of being my friend!" ”

Jada suddenly felt a headache: "Don't provoke this person, I'm useful, don't you tell you to behave steadily in front of outsiders?" How did it go back to the way it was? Do you know how much thought I've put into your marriage?! Don't mess with me! ”

Stella smiled and pouted, "I don't want to marry a cripple!" They all say that the crown prince of this country does not know how to walk and has terrible scars on his face! ”

"That's the previous plan," Jada said, "Now the crown prince of Easter is likely to be the second prince Selig before he officially takes over, I will not propose a marriage, but you also have to be careful not to show your stuff in front of the Easters!" ”

Stella's mouth pursed high: "But I heard that Selig has a sweetheart, why should I marry someone who doesn't like me?" I hate this second prince, I want to... Think..."She suddenly remembered, "I want to marry that guy just now!" She clapped her hands happily: "That's right, that guy looks quite pleasing to the eye, why don't I marry him?" ”

"Nonsense!" Jada shouted, "This matter is personally decided by His Majesty the King, and cannot be changed!" You go back to the embassy for me! ”

He held back his anger and strode out, not noticing the face of the little cousin behind him, the smile gradually disappeared, and a strange light flashed in her eyes, she took out a small square box four fingers wide from her arms, which contained ink, on which the outlines of the three keys were clearly printed
