In front of the Iron Lord Freyas stood a man with a slightly narrow face, who was one of his subordinates, one of the captains of the Secret Guard, Geral.

Guerra was wearing a one-piece black hunting suit, and he usually appeared like a sharp blade hidden in the shadows, but at this time, in front of more powerful figures, the edge was retracted.

After Edward's death, the Iron Lord was in charge of the Legion of the Guards and the Secret Guard, and he had Norman blood in his body, and he was loyal only to those who sat on the throne, and he would only approve of those who had Norman blood to sit in that position.

"The news you get is important. I believe that at least seventy percent of it is true, that is, there are indeed people who want to be against William, because he has a good appearance, and those who don't like him certainly want to see him fall or die before he has become completely strong. Freas's voice was slightly hoarse, like an old man.

Guerra didn't look at him, his eyes were on his toes, and he continued to carefully rein, he had been very proud lately, and it was said that he had the hope of becoming the third lieutenant of the secret guard from captain, but there was only hope, and a lot of it depended on Freas, who was now in charge of the army and the secret guard on behalf of William.

"You can rest assured that our secret guards will do their best to keep an eye out for suspicious people and others in the city from now on. "Gradaw.

Freas was pleased with Guerra's words, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then when he opened them again, he announced, "I'm sure you'll do a good job, don't let me down, I'll recommend you as deputy commander in front of His Majesty William." ”

Freas then saw a grateful look on Guerra's face, and he said with satisfaction: "I will personally take care of the safety of the Perth Palace and His Majesty William, and Princess Margaret and the rest of the royal family will leave it to Hurley." Regina: Their security also needs to be strengthened. That's Nigaul's business; There is another big event, the wedding of Princess Tifanie and Marquis Solomon, Geera, Marquis Solomon will leave it to you, his wedding, and the Magic Research Institute are all within your responsibility. ”

At the mention of Solomon's name, Freas's face involuntarily flashed with a complicated expression. There are doubts, wariness, and some helplessness and unknown frustration.

After Edward's death, the political situation in Asturias faced by William had slowly stabilized during this time, and the dukes could not really do anything too out of the ordinary, they could no longer control the army of Asturias as before, and as long as the royal family was still there, the power of the kingdom could be gathered.

The heads of the Medici, Bourbon, and Byron families are not stupid, and of course they can see this limit, so they just want to maximize their own interests, after William restructured the cabinet. The cabinet expanded, but the Byron family got nothing. They were of course very dissatisfied, knowing that the last time the cabinet was formed, Byron had already made sacrifices. Edward used the names of two cabinet members to divide the three dukes' families, not without anticipating their splits, quarrels, and the tendency of the alliance to crack, and the Byron family "taking care of the overall situation".

But it can't be like this every time, if the Byron family bears it every time, it will slowly decline.

So after the back and forth of the bargains, William struck a certain balance: first, he agreed to add a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker to the House of Lords, who would have the power to convene Parliament in case of an emergency outside of the normal hours of Parliament, and second, to separate the Supreme Judge from the Cabinet and be accountable to the King alone, but the number was increased from one to three.

Neither side saw this as a bad thing, with the great nobles believing that there were finally more positions, and the royal family did not want to see important positions held by one person or family.

Instead, he encountered some minor trouble with Solomon, and Freas persuaded William to support the Solomon legion commander not to revoke it, but to actually build a legion, and then find a way to take it.

But the Legion was already recruiting and training in large numbers, and the covert reception was frustrated, and Solomon reformed the military system, preferring to train the recruits from scratch rather than draw some non-commissioned officers from the Guards Legion.

Is this some kind of ambition, or is it just a means to consolidate their power like the dukes?

Freyas wondered if Edward had analyzed Solomon in front of his crown prince and Freyas before he died, pointing out that this man was very talented, and some of his previous ideas and practices had helped Edward and the kingdom to obtain great benefits. Edward is alive, but he has absolute confidence to make this person do better, but William must use some means to entrap him, such as this wedding, and the previous entry into the cabinet.

"Then I'll go and start now. Gralia showed a slight expression of normal excitement, and turned away, and he was more than happy to be commanded to take charge of Solomon.

Immediately after Guerra left, Freas summoned Hurley and Nigaul, who were now the two lieutenants of the Secret Guard, and Freias arranged the division of labor that had been told to Guerra before leaving Nigaul alone.

"Did the woman you asked you investigate last time find out?" Freyas asked in a deep voice.

"I've already investigated, my name is Natalia, and she is very beautiful, and she is really moving. According to the information we investigated, she was a native of Aurora, because her family owed a huge debt, so she became a treasure in the hands of a slave trader, and was about to sell her to our Duke Aldrich, but on the way, this clever girl escaped while on the way to Liberty City, and escaped into the Wood Elf Song and Dance Troupe funded by Obir, a merchant of Liberty City, and was then taken in and sheltered. Not long ago, the song and dance troupe of the wood elves came to San Quentin, and their beautiful singing and dancing were unique, and they became popular and gained a firm foothold. When His Majesty was bored, he went to the Times Theater with Princess Margaret to watch the Shadow animation, and met there. Nigaul reported the results of the investigation to Freas.

Freas touched his beard under his chin, and from the results of the investigation obtained by Nigaul, there seemed nothing suspicious about the stunningly beautiful woman.

When Edward was dying, he brought Freas out and asked him to look after the Norman royal family, who was responsible for William's safety. Of course, you need to be in control of William's every move. Especially when William's personal strength is not very strong. Far from careless.

The woman that William has recently been obsessed with was naturally noticed by Freyas, and he personally observed Natalia secretly for the first time, and judged that the other party did not have any strong strength, as if it was William's affair.

But even so, Freas still decisively admonished William, and William accepted it with satisfaction, and sure enough, he reduced his tryst with the woman. I haven't been there for the past month.

Despite this, Freyas was not entirely reassured, and any way to contact William had to be as clear as possible, for since the woman was not in danger on the surface, he could not really prevent a king from pampering her, and the exhortation was only temporary. When William was freed from the troubles of state affairs, he always needed some playmates, and it was an offense that Freyas could not interfere with the king's freedom again and again.

So Freyas gave the order to Nigaul. He wanted him to find out where William came from when he hadn't been in contact with this woman for a while.

Now Nigaul's answer. Combined with the previous situation, Freyas is much more relieved. This woman is next to William, it should be just a coincidence.

"That's not enough, her experience at Aurora also needs to be understood. But he gave Nigaul the order to pursue it.

"She was indeed escorted to the Free City by the slave traders, and further on, the slave trader named Duncan, who was also a well-known figure in Asturias, seems to have had a very unpleasant affair with the Marquis Solomon, who had to withdraw from Asturias when he rose to prominence. Now he wanted to come back, but there were few places willing to give him a chance, so he had to try to catch Duke Aldrich first. Nigaul said, "If we want to follow him to find out whether this girl's previous family, relatives and experiences are true, involving Aurora, and this slave trader like a frightened bird, it will be difficult for us to reveal the true reason to him, just now you asked us to pay full attention to the safety of the cabinet members, we will be very tight." ”

After this period of time, it continued, but the order still existed. Freyas took a step back.

"Okay. Nigaul shrugged and agreed—

With a bang, a column of water as thick as a door erupted from the cavernous outlet in front of everyone, and then flowed down the canal to the river below.

It was at the outlet of the sewer more than a dozen kilometers away in San Quentin, and after two minutes of flow, the water began to taper and then become a trickle, and the strange stench overflowed.

A man who bears a slight resemblance to Guerra in both temperament and attire unfolds a floor plan with densely packed routes.

"This is the sewer road map of St. Quentin. Alphonse said, his fingers moving over it, sketching out a possible route.

"Let's go separate and go our separate ways, and then we will each do what we want. Alphonse looked up and said, "But our deal and help will also end, and anything that happens to you in the future will not be related to us." ”

He spoke to a flamboyant woman with a scarred face, her eyes narrow, strangely camouflage, and her forehead and the back of her hands covered with small pieces of scale-like armor, whether she was born that way or some kind of decoration.

"Your Excellency Alphonse, I have to say that you Titanians are really stingy. The gaudy woman laughed very loudly, she was dressed like a sacrificial robe, but it was difficult to hide her beautiful body with long legs and slender body, and it was conceivable that under this unsuitable robe was a seductive body.

But Alphonse and the team behind him looked at her like a femme fatale, because the woman in front of her was an orc, and even among the orc races was some famous.

Evdoria, the youngest scepter priestess of the orcs, the high-ranking killer of the Srek clan, and the female disciple of the legendary priest Ulf, any identity can give the opponent's Alphonse a lot of headaches.

But until now, they've been in a partnership.

Not long ago, there was a bit of chaos somewhere on the border between Titania and Asturias, and the border guard corps on both sides faced off for a while. The accident left a brief gap in the guards of the border, so Alphonse and Yevdolia led their men into Asturias.

All the way to the front of the eyes, we reached the sewer exit of St. Quentin.

This was one of the best ways they had long studied to infiltrate Saint-Quentin without attracting attention, and under normal circumstances, the entry and exit of so many people would not be able to hide from the defenders.

In particular, the orcs brought by Yevdoria numbered more than a hundred, mainly Tego and Kau, and a small number of Srek.

Today's Asturias has a conciliatory relationship with the orcs, but that refers to the proximity to the Western Beast Alliance, Srek, Tygo and Kau, and there are so many of them, it will inevitably cause vigilance, and as soon as it is discovered, it will either be arrested or killed directly.

"If we can make trouble, it will be good for you. Evdolia smirked, and with a wave of her hand, the orcs who had followed her bent on their waists, struggling into the outlet, which seemed a little narrower to them, and slowly descended into the cobweb-like Beneath of St. Quentin.

After the orcs disappeared into the sewers, Alphonse breathed a sigh of relief and finally got rid of the annoying bunch.

"Let's go in too. Alphonse took a deep breath, the mission that was about to start was a nameless war, and if he and the people behind him failed, Titania would not recognize them.

Even if it succeeds, it can only be kept secret and act as an unsung hero.

Alphonse was the first to enter the mouth of the waterway, and even though he held his breath, he could still smell the foul stench.

Behind him, the Titanian guards who followed also disappeared outside the mouth of the waterway one by one and began their difficult march. (To be continued......)
