At this point, the guards reported that someone was visiting, and Salian ordered him to be invited. I saw that the person who came was wearing a wide travel suit and a hood, which made it difficult for people to see clearly.

This person said in a strange voice change: "Please retreat from your side, I have something important to tell you!"

Salian smiled.

"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, it's Cezela, right?!"

"Your Excellency, I have changed all the breath, and you can actually see through it!"

"The skills are perfect, but don't forget what I gave you?"

"Ah, I see. ”

"So what's the matter with this visit? It's all my own here, but it's okay to say it. Teresa, who is also a witch with you, aside, Miss Lorana Ise and my sister Evangeline are the core figures of the Duchy, and even know the secrets of their territory better than I do. ”

The Dream Weaver Witch replied with her hood shedding, revealing a youthful and beautiful face.

"Then I know everything, Your Excellency. Not long ago, our Witch Summit received news that the Kingdom of Gera had invited several assassination masters through some channel, and they wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate Queen Lydia. ”

"I must report this to Your Majesty!" said Salian with a frown.

"Your Excellency, not only that, but also the subordinates of the original Bellanini Throne have also infiltrated the 'Red Palace' this time and merged with the Kingdom of Gerla. ”

Salian remembered the fire magic that had been shot from the walls yesterday and thought it might have something to do with it.

"Well, sure enough, intelligence work is very important, and I must establish a sound intelligence agency. According to the book of foreign soldiers: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

"Brother, we have not yet established a government in the modern sense of the word, and if such a powerful institution were to be set up at once, it would easily become a destabilizing factor for the principality. ”

"Oh, that makes sense, it's easy to get a big tail. Salian thought for a moment and continued.

"So how so, I have learned from the Augustan Academy the advanced forms of government of the ancient republics and the ancient empires, which, according to Professor Marvelly, have been stable for a thousand years, and are well suited for us moderns. ”

"Haha, Salian, your book is not in vain, so what can I do?" asked Lorana Ise curiously.

"Hmph, first of all, we must establish a cabinet in the center, and I will appoint Evangelin as the first Prime Minister of the Principality, Estaffalia as Minister of the Interior and Minister of Commerce, Anna as Minister of War and Commander of the Army, Lorana Ise as Minister of Foreign Affairs and Commander of the Navy, Teresa as Minister of Magic, and the rest of the Cabinet members will be appointed at your discretion, and all members of the other Cabinet will be accountable to me alone. What do you think?"

"Oh, Salian, do I have a job to do too!?"

"It's so tiring to wear many hats!"

"Brother, we are not accountable to the parliament but to you, this is the dictatorship of the monarchy in the cloak of constitutionalism!"

After listening to his sister's words, Salian said disapprovingly: "For the development of the New Mark Principality, it is necessary to temporarily strengthen the state apparatus, there are many examples in history, from Sulla, Marius, Caesar, Octavian to Diocletian, Constantine, I just borrowed from the practices of the sages." Besides, we don't have any senate or parliamentary stuff, so when the time comes, you can just find random people and make an election appearance. ”

"Well, then we're going to build the Principality's parliament building. ”

"Haha, I want a glass dome so that I can take advantage of the sunlight, which is beautiful and environmentally friendly. ”

"It's better to be stone, it's more defensive!"

"No, no, no, you can't make stones, I have a hunch! It will be destroyed by the barbarians from the east!"

"Hehe, you can go back and solve these problems by yourself!

Amidst a tumultuous chatter, Salian turned to the witch who had come from afar.

"Cezela, I have another task for you. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"I'm going to set up a new department, and I can call her 'Secret Police,' yes! You will be appointed as the first minister, direct prime minister, and you can ask Evangeline for any needs. ”

"Your Excellency, such a burden is too heavy for a small man like me, isn't it?! You might as well be a close figure, or invite the powerful Sister Judith to take on this position. ”

"I think you're the right person to do so, and you can't excuse yourself! You need to find out all the information that endangers the security of the Principality, and report anything important directly to Evangeline or me. ”

A talented and top-notch man like Judith is all well and good, but their ambition and loyalty don't reassure Salian. At this time, it is better for Cezela. Not only is the ability enough, but the loyalty has also been proven.

"All right, Your Excellency. If I don't do well, you can always remove me. ”

"Well, then you can do a good job! Now you can stay here and help me deal with those assassins. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Everything will be as you wish. ”

Salian hurried to Queen Lydia and informed Her Majesty of the Assassins.

"Haha, Aiqing is really Yu's lucky general, Yu has long known that things will not be so simple, today's weakness is really deceitful, but Yu also has a backhand. The sword fighter Juan you asked about last time is Yu's trump card. ”

"Oh, the friend I didn't meet here turned out to be doing something for Your Majesty. ”

"Yes, we just have to wait for news from him to win big!"

"Then the ministers of the war can rest assured, but how can the safety of His Majesty be guaranteed?"

"Hehe, Yu's personal guard hasn't introduced you yet. ”

Only to hear Her Majesty speak in a respectful tone.

"Miss Selena, please show up!"

The Queen's Drawing-Room, where Salian is now located, is actually an ornate tent made of thick velvet, in which only Sallian, Count of St. Valentine, Queen Lydia, and their lady-in-waiting, Countess Lonney, are in it.

Aside from the guards outside the tent, Salian was unaware of the presence of any bystanders. But when the queen called, a soft breath came to her face.

"Your Majesty summoned me?"

"Yes, dear Miss Selena, this is one of Yu's most loyal and brave vassals, His Excellency Salian von Hohenstringen, Count of St. Valentine, who is also a vassal of the Emperor of the Divine Grace Empire, Duke of New Mark, and lord of the land of Heshingen. How's that, he's handsome, isn't it?!"

Miss Selena didn't hear the last inexplicable words, she just turned to face Salian and introduced herself in a calm, soft voice.

"Hello, Your Excellency Count St. Valentine, I am Sister Selena from the Convent of Uxmar, north of Toledo, who has come to protect Her Majesty Lydia by order of the Pope and the Abbot. ”

As she spoke, Salian took a good look at the young and beautiful nun with the eyes of an expert. She was slender and wore a white priest's hat, from which a few strands of curly blonde hair leaked, bright eyes like amber, and the typical wheat complexion of the Murasens. Although slightly inferior to Queen Lydia and Countess Don Loni in appearance, she is also a rare beauty, especially the extremely rare and sacred temperament she has. Compared to the majesty of Lydia and the amorous charm of Don Loney, or the mystery exuded by witches like Judith and Teresa, Sister Selena can be said to be the benevolent type that Salian rarely sees.

"I see, you are a witness to the friendship between His Majesty Pope Alex VI and His Majesty Lydia, and in fact I have a good relationship with His Majesty Alex VI. ”

In order to have a good relationship with the beauty, Salian also talked about the intersection with the Pope in the Holy Capital, and after some pleasantries, Salian already got to know the simple nun well.

Queen Lydia needed a force in order to completely defeat the Mororis in the south who believed in the Cult of the Sun God, and also for the integration of Castia and Toledo, so she borrowed Orthodox Christianity as a link to unite the country. And this nun is a sign of the cooperation between the newborn kingdom of Mullasen and the Holy See.

Miss Selena, despite her unknown name, is in fact one of the most mysterious battle nuns in the Holy See, who has mastered the sacred and white magic of the light magic system, as well as various combat skills and counter-terrorism methods. The Convent of Usmar in Toledo, where it is located, is known for its rigorous asceticism, and is the heart of the western battlefield of the Holy War, the Mulassen Orthodox Church against the Pagans, and it is also known for its militant nuns. Miss Selena is one of the strongest.

Due to its current situation, the monastery has the full support of both the Kingdom of Mullasen and the Holy See, and its power has greatly expanded.

"Understood, I can rest assured of the Queen's safety. Then the minister will retire!"

Salian gracefully exited the tent after receiving the order from Queen Lydia to keep him waiting.

The strength that this battle nun had just shown was enough to rival that of Salian. Evading the detection of a terrifying knight with keen senses like Salian, it was certainly not a problem to deal with a few assassins. Moreover, if the opponent's means were enough to assassinate the queen, it was pointless for Salian to stay here.

Back in his tent, Salian summoned Sizela and told her what he had just learned.

The young witch, who was naturally sitting on Salian's lap, thought for a moment and said.

"Your Excellency, I think Her Majesty may be a little underestimated, although the name of the Battle Nun is very loud and shows her due strength, but this time the Kingdom of Gera has invited a clever assassin. ”

"Oh, what is it that makes you so worried? Salian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Your Excellency, I didn't go into detail in front of everyone just now, in addition to a few lone assassins from the Western Continent, the Gera Kingdom invited two people who are very special, one of them is an evil eye wizard from the Eastern Turde Empire. ”

Hearing this, Salian sneered slightly.

"Hehe, this reminds me of the Evil Eye Witch King Ozturk of the Turde National Master, that guy is a supreme master, I don't know if this time is his fellow disciple or disciple. ”

"We have no way of knowing the details of the clues, and the other party has also done a lot of secrecy methods. In addition, there is another person who is said to have been invited from the 'Akatsuki Society', a high-ranking cadre. ”

"Yes, yes, I haven't had the time to deal with them, and it's great that these guys sent them to the door themselves!"

"That's all I know, and I think it's better to tell you about the final character alone. ”

"Well, yes, you've done a good job, and you will report any information about the 'Akatsuki Society' directly to me in the future. Oh, by the way, is there any news about the thing you asked you to do secretly for me last time?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, I have brought something. ”

As she spoke, the girl reached out and took out a delicate little bottle from her bodice and handed it to Salian.

"Your Excellency, this is from a witch in the eastern part of the empire, and it is extremely valuable, so please keep it in good hands. ”

"Well, I see, something so magical must be expensive!" Salian played with the small bottle in his hand, and looked at the strange blue-green liquid in it.

"Your Excellency, Sister Judith asked me to tell you that although this thing is now green, it can be completely dissolved in all kinds of wine, and is colorless and tasteless. No matter who it is or what kind of strength, just a drop can make it ineffective within three hours. Three drops can be fatal. ”

"Is there an antidote?"

"Just drink the same amount of potion. ”

"Great, I need to use it well if I can poison the Radiant Knight. ”
