"Then, the trade secretary did not continue to respond, and sat down directly......"

Isabel stood in front of Ivus's bed, racking her brains like a student being asked by a teacher.

She tugged at the corner of her coat with some nervousness, as if she had returned to the time when she had first been taught by Janis.

"What else?"

Ivus casually asked, "Do you feel like he's scared?" ”

He was lying under the warm quilt at the moment, flipping through the minutes of the meeting.

Last night, in order to help Isabel train, he didn't sleep all night. When Isabel went to preside over the round table, he took the time to catch up on sleep. Although I only slept for four or five hours, it was enough.

"He should be scared. I even felt that he was terrified. ”

"Okay, I see."

The corners of Ivus's mouth rose slightly, and he wrote in another notebook with a pen: "What about Mr. McCroft?" ”

"Minister Hermes said that he wanted to bring in a new group of palace officials. I think what he said makes sense, and the people recruited during my grandmother's time should also be replaced......"

Isabel replied with some certainty: "I'll give it my direct permission...... No problem, right? ”

"No problem. Your judgment is accurate, and this must be left to him, and he must keep an eye on it the whole time. Otherwise, there's a good chance you'll get a lot of eyes mixed in – especially if you're acting so aggressive. ”

Ivas said casually: "By the way, when he is done with this matter, he can be promoted." It's a pity that he can only be a palace minister with his ability...... Let him nominate another minister to replace him, and then give him the position of minister with real power. Or you can let him be an officer.

"Also, don't stand, my majesty...... This makes me look so pitiful...... You should sit down first. ”

Under Ivus's admonition, Isabel sat directly on the edge of Ivus's bed.

Lily, who was standing quietly in the corner, came over and brought a cup of tea.

Lily's presence was now less and less, and standing still now seemed like a shadow, undetectable - and when she needed it, she would quietly appear and hand over what was needed. The royal servants who serve Isabel are certainly not as good as Lily.

Because of this, when Isabel came to find Ewass, she did not bring her own servants with her at all.

It just so happened that Ivas was helping her with advice, and no one else could know about it. It's Isabel's secret.

Ivus, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

He remembered that he had made a note of Sherlock's older brother's talent when he had confirmed it.

Michael Hermes obviously has more wisdom and talent than most ministers, and even more than Sherlock, but he is usually inconspicuous and completely inconspicuous. The code of conduct on weekdays highlights the four principles of "it's about me", "it's about you", "it's about you", "hurry up", and "I want to get off work".

According to the fine tradition of Avalon, those who meet good people should be used to death.

If it weren't for the fact that the Privy Council Ministers were not easy to replace, in fact, Michael Croft could have been the Privy Councillors.

Ivast tapped Chancellor Camelot just to test his flexibility and confirm his attitude.

- Because according to the original plot, after the destruction of Avalon and the restoration of Isabel as a government-in-exile, the newly-born kingdom of flowers is called Camelot.

When Isabel returns to the ruined Avalon to prepare for her return, the few local families that support her are the Camelot family.

Ivas vaguely remembered that Princess Isabel had sworn to marry herself to the state during a grand ceremony through the 2.0 version of the Church, and had been given the power to manipulate nature. She also lost her fertility as a result.

Therefore, the Durak family in the narrow sense was already extinct at that time.

The Camelot family passed their most talented heir to Isabel as their daughter, becoming the only princess of the Camelot kingdom. What happened in the middle of the year Ivus didn't know, but in the end, the kingdom of Avalon became the kingdom of Camelot.

When Ivas first met his history mentor, Professor Bard, he asked about it. But apparently Professor Bard didn't know the secret either...... Or maybe what he said was right, the ancestor of the Camelot family, Galahad, was indeed not Lancelot's illegitimate son, and the Camelot family passed the heir to Isabel only because the two families were on good terms, which was just a preconceived idea of Ivus.

- But no matter what, Avalon turned out to be Camelot.

This made Ivas naturally a little hostile to the Camelot family - perhaps they had done nothing wrong now, and that it was happening in the future of another world line that would not happen now, and even they were one of the few princes willing to support Isabel when she was not showing her ability to restore the country......

But emotionally, Ivas will still be wary of them.

Now it seems that the old man is indeed a loyal minister.

"There's no need to be distant from Chancellor Camelot after that," Ivas advised, "and of course be cautious—you can't show your true self in front of him." As for McCroft......"

Ivas fell into deep thought.

Isabel opened her mouth and proposed, "What is the position of the Deputy President of the Privy Council?" ”

The President of the Privy Council is the Minister of Camelot. The members of the Privy Council are called "advisors" and are mainly responsible for helping the monarch with political affairs.

Although the Round Table is a lot like the British Parliament, it is fundamentally different. The biggest difference is that the monarch has real power.

In most cases, the monarch does not participate in the meetings of the round table.

After all, there are a lot of idlers in the round table hall, and they can't wait to hold a meeting once a day to discuss some boring proposals that can't be passed for more than half a year. How could the queen have the time and energy to quarrel with them every day.

At such times, the chief knight of the round table or the grand arbiter or the grand magistrate carried the sword of the monarch into the round table - the short sword that hung on the wall of the queen's bedroom, the sister sword in Haina's body. And when the sword arrived in the round table hall, it was as if the queen was there.

The Knight Captain of the Round Table of this generation is the Great Guardian. And the Grand Arbiter is Meg, or Lygia. Both of them don't like meetings, and sometimes Lygia will sit in and say nothing. And when none of them want to go, it has to be presided over by the great justice.

The discussion in the round table was only a statement, and all the bills that were finally discussed and voted on were sorted out by the Privy Council's advisers, written in accordance with the proper procedure, and finally submitted to the Queen together with the minutes of the meeting and the recommendations of the Privy Council's annotations. The Queen is then responsible for signing the bill to confirm or veto the bill.

- The biggest difference is that the monarch has a veto. And it can be used often.

In this sense, the Privy Council can also be understood as the Queen's secretarial corps. It's the equivalent of a cabinet.

If the monarch is also regarded as an administrative officer, the Privy Council is the minister of affairs belonging to the monarch. Minister Camelot's status is equivalent to that of Prime Minister, and that of Deputy Speaker is equivalent to that of Deputy Minister. Despite his usual low profile, he is undoubtedly someone who can influence the whole of Avalon.

"Yes," Ivus nodded slowly, "he is infallible and loyal to you. Ministers are not easy to appoint, after all, if one comes up, one has to go down. But the clerk is a good officer.

"First of all, remember to dissolve the Privy Council from the time of Queen Sophia. Only the Speaker was retained, and then McCroft was brought in. Let him consult with Chancellor Camelot on a new Privy Council......

"Then he doesn't have to resign from his position as the minister of palace affairs for the time being, let him do two jobs first. Later, when he finds a replacement, he can try to transfer him to the post of Minister of State Seal. Or you can keep the position of Minister of Palace. ”

The Minister of the State Seal, like the Minister of Justice, has not yet been appointed by three monarchs. At present, the Grand Judiciary is responsible for all of them.

As the name suggests, the Minister of the State Seal is the person in charge of the State Seal, responsible for the custody of the State Seal and the drafting and issuance of various important government documents and decrees.

"Oh, my majesty......"

Seeing Isabel quietly in the bedroom listening to Ivas's command, Lygia leaned against the corner of the bedroom and sighed.

That is, Ivas is trustworthy, otherwise this picture looks weird.

And at this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from a painting behind her and gently patted her shoulder.

After Licia looked over, the hand made a "come out" gesture.

Lygia understood and walked out quietly.
