My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1324 1322. Two of our outstanding intelligence officers have gone undercover in King Louis’ bed through close investigation

After Tris confirmed Countess Margaret's "sincerity", Miriam did not waste any more time. She told the lady in front of her the current situation and the choices and adventures of the Capet family.

As Murphy said, the Capet family's adventure could not succeed on their own. If they wanted King Louis to accept the final result, they had to find a strong enough political ally beside the king to exert the necessary influence on King Louis.

Countess Margaret's terrifying reputation in the Sealand aristocracy and the "Nun" faction she secretly cultivated can definitely become the most perfect and powerful driving force for this matter under such circumstances. Most importantly, the Countess and the Capet family are the backbone of the royal party. She is the perfect person to deliver the news that will definitely anger King Louis to Count Lyon.

The Countess, who was already suffering from the aftereffects of chaos pollution, had a splitting headache after hearing the Capet family's plan and wished she could faint.

What is it all about!

The invasion of Chaos on the kingdom's border was bad enough, and now the powerful ministers in the country were planning to take this opportunity to give her husband a severe blow. The most terrifying thing was that she had to play a rather disgraceful role in it.

"Oh my god, Louis' worst suspicion has come true."

The Countess in the chair sighed and said:

“He had been very wary of the Capet family’s uncontrollable tendencies and had already begun to weaken the power of the Count of Lyon, but he did not expect that the Count would be so decisive and bold.

I can now imagine how angry Louis would be after knowing this. If his reason could not restrain his anger, then the Capet family would very likely replace Transia as the kingdom's biggest threat. Most importantly, Louis had just entrusted the affairs of the kingdom's development of the New World to Count Lyon.

His stabbing in the back at this time will cause the kingdom's exploration of the New World to fail in the cradle."

"will not!"

Miriam corrected:

"In the compensation terms given by Count Lyon, in addition to returning the actual control of the Anjou Province, which is well managed by the family, to the royal family, the long-distance fleet that has been formed will be handed over to the Kingdom Navy.

Most importantly, the Capetian family was willing to donate half of their wealth to the national treasury.

This amount of money is enough for King Louis to complete at least three explorations and early colonizations of the New World."

"not enough."

Margaret shook her head and said:
"Louis appears to be very reasonable, but in private he is a very chauvinistic guy. He will never forget the betrayal of the Capet family. No matter how he whitewashes this behavior, it will be a lifelong shame for him.

This kind of humiliation cannot be appeased by wealth or power, but since the Capetian family is determined to do so, they are prepared to deal with this situation. For you and me, what we have to consider now is how to make Louis suppress his anger and accept the independence of the Grand Duchy of Capet.

Superficial vassalage is necessary, there is no room for negotiation on this.

Secondly, it would be useless if I were the only one trying to persuade him, and it would create a rift between me and Louis. If there was someone else who could influence Louis, then maybe there would be some chance of success."

At this point, the Countess raised her head, looked at Trish and Miriam, and said:
"Can you convince Elizabeth?"

"Ok?"

Tris blinked and asked back:
"Why do you think that Her Majesty the Queen of the Plantagenet Kingdom would obey the Transians' orders?"

"Don't pretend, sir. I am one of yours now. Don't play such superficial tricks at a time like this."

The Countess curled her lips and said:

"The issue of Helms Island once led to the point of war, but in the end it was resolved through normal negotiations in an unexpected turn. I heard that the Helms people abolished the elders' system, and Ms. Effie, who was elected as the 'Helms Chief General' by them, actively contacted Louis' diplomats with a very pragmatic attitude.

This kind of thing would be impossible without internal support.

As far as I know, Ms. Effie is not a politician. She is a commander, a general and the best assassin, but politics is not her strong point. Over the past period of time, the Helms Rangers led by her have been working closely with the Transians.

I have enough reasons to confirm that the person standing behind Ms. Effie is you.

The domestic boss who secretly allied with Ms. Effie on the political level should be Elizabeth.
She hid it really well, and even kept it from me for a while. Unfortunately, this action may have been due to the urgency of the situation, which caused her to reveal some problems that should not have been exposed.

But it doesn’t really matter.”

Margaret sighed a little sadly and said:
"Elizabeth really knows how to please Louis. I don't believe that in the past thirty years, a shrewd man like Louis didn't discover his wife's identity in the shadows. He must know that Elizabeth is doing something behind his back.

Even using her influence in letting Elizabeth go with the Helms.

He just chose to ignore it because of William's birth and his status as the eldest son of the royal family, and Elizabeth really occupied one of the softest corners in his heart.

Louis's career required an outstanding successor.

William inherited King Louis's tyranny and Elizabeth's intelligence, and even I have to admit that he is indeed the kind of prince that the Plantagenets need."

"Do you think your husband has discovered your identity?"

Tris said curiously:

"Aren't you worried that King Louis will be furious if he finds out your true identity one day?"

"I hid very well, much better than Elizabeth. When you are afraid of something, you will always try your best to stay away from it. That is my attitude towards dusk. I stay away from it."

Margaret shook her head and said:
"As for the horrible future you are describing, what can I say? If I thought I was about to be exposed, I would drink the cup of poison that I have prepared for many years and leave the world in the most perfect manner, without giving Louis a chance to be sad.

I am sure that he will take good care of me and his daughter, and he is a man worthy of trust.

There were even many times when I had the urge to tell all those secrets to Louis. Unfortunately, I was a coward. I didn't have the courage to stop my mentor, whom I regarded as a father, from going down the wrong path, and now I don't have the courage to confess everything to my lover.

Perhaps Lord Murphy's appearance on that day was also a relief for me.

I can hand over my fate to you so that I don't have to endure the torment of my soul anymore."

"You think beautiful!"

Tris scolded:
“Although compared to other Dusk leaders, you can indeed be called ‘good’, but joining Dusk is your original sin. Don’t say stupid things like you can’t resist. You always had the opportunity to break away from them, but you didn’t do so. You even secretly assisted Dusk in its actions in the New World.

You are destined to carry this terrible secret for the rest of your life until you go to the grave. You will have to face your lover and children with a false disguise every day for the rest of your life. That will be enough to become your daily torment, until finally even your soul will not be able to rest in peace!
I don't think this is a vicious curse, it's just the punishment you deserve!

Now that everything has been said, let me, on behalf of Murphy, announce the verdict on you.

Margaret!

You will be able to return to your family and do your best to serve the Order, but the day your daughter comes of age is the day you die!
Only then will your suffering truly begin!
The underworld of Gramayr Island will become your eternal prison. You will serve as the spiritual watcher in the Plantagenet underworld until the poison of Dusk and Chaos is completely cleared from that land. Then you will be allowed to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Given the current situation of the confrontation between chaos and order, I advise you not to be too optimistic about life after death.

Your term of service may be forever!" "My Bridget is twelve years old this year, and I still have six years to live, 2190 days. Well, this is much more lenient than I expected, I accept it!"

Faced with this result, Countess Margaret raised her hands without hesitation and shouted:
"Praise Murphy! Praise Hades. I accept this judgment and am willing to immediately begin to fulfill my duties to the Order camp!"

"Then please start your work, Ms. Margaret."

Miriam handed the countess a computing orb used to contact special people and said:
"We will send you back to the Saxe region tomorrow morning. The reason we will announce to the public is that you were implicated in the Chaos invasion of East Prussia while out on business, and were rescued by the Capet family's private soldiers. This can explain your disappearance over the past two days, and the Capet family will also become your witnesses."

"That's a terrible statement, ma'am."

Margaret shook her head and said:
“You don’t have to announce this to the public. I will find a reasonable reason to convince my husband to ignore the reason why I was missing for two days. I know how to weave a lie so that Louis will not pursue it.

But I have a request. No, a request. "

The Countess wiped the blood from her forehead and said to Lady Trish:
“I’m sending Bridget to Transia!

Until the crisis in East Prussia is resolved, she will receive the safest protection in the Scarlet Castle.

The head monk will not let a traitor like me go, and the remaining factions of the Dusk Camp will also launch the most deadly hunt against me. And there is also the crazy Cecilia nicknamed Lady Griffin on Greene Island. She is a true cultist!
I dare not even think about what crazy things that guy will do once he receives the order.

She is a hidden danger that must be dealt with immediately!
When the monk leader arranged her to work under me, I have been using various methods to secretly restrain her. Now that there is no one to suppress her, that crazy woman will definitely let go and do whatever she wants. Even the Chaos invasion that appeared in East Prussia will be replicated in major cities on Greeny Island.

Therefore, I request that the Blood Eagle Clan immediately issue a warning to the Wolf Poison Clan and invite Grand Duke Wolf Poison to deprive Cecilia of all her power!
It has to be quick! "

"Well, we will contact Old Edward. You should take advantage of this last bit of time to have the necessary conversation with your 'allies'."

Miriam nodded, then turned and left the secret room.

Mrs. Trish is still here.

She looked Margaret up and down until she looked a little frightened. Then, Tris took an antique ring seal from her waist, stroked it in her hand for a few seconds, and then handed it to the countess, saying:

"Then, from now on, you! Margaret, you are an official member of the Lorraine family. As an ancestor, I appoint you as the current head of the Lorraine family and tell you the correct location of the family tomb.

Hidden in the tombs of my brother and father is the genealogy of the Lorraine family and some identity proofs. You can take them out to consolidate your identity.

You, the fake one, have been made a regular employee."

After saying that, Tris waved her hand and turned to leave the secret room. When the countess was left alone, she reached out and put the Lorraine family's patriarch's seal on her finger and took off the fake one and threw it aside. Then, while activating the computing orb in front of her, she complained in a low voice:

"Grand Duchess Trish has really become little Bridget's grandmother. From this perspective, as her husband, Governor Murphy has also become my elder. Well, this is not a bad thing.

My daughter now has a powerful backer.”

Countess Margaret, who had survived the orb by chance, sighed, wiped the blood off her face, and then officially activated the orb in her hand. A moment later, an optical projection with "technical support" provided by Ms. Rose unfolded before her eyes. Under Margaret's gaze, a figure hiding in the darkness in the projection said in a hoarse voice:
"Archon Miriam? Why are you contacting me at this time? Is there something wrong?"

"Elizabeth! Stop pretending, it's me."

The Countess said something that startled the person in the shadow opposite, and after a few seconds, the mysterious light and shadow effects were removed, revealing the image of Queen Elizabeth in her pajamas.

The Queen looked at the Countess with a look of astonishment, and she exclaimed:
"Margaret, my God! What happened to you? Who hurt you like this? Shouldn't you be accompanying little Bridget at Sachs's manor? Also, how did you get this special communication device?"

"Is Louis asleep?"

The Countess did not answer but asked the question, and the Queen nodded and said:
"Louis was very tired after attending a series of meetings today. He just went to sleep. It's safe here."

"Okay, then I won't pretend anymore."

Margaret coughed and said:
"I am the Twilight leader 'Nun' hiding in the Plantagenet Kingdom. Don't be afraid, Elizabeth. I have now defected to the Order camp and have been forgiven by Governor Murphy, but this is not the point.

The point is that you must wake up Louis now, something happened in East Prussia!

The two old gods colluded with the forces of Chaos to invade East Prussia. Just after nightfall, horrific things had happened on the border of the kingdom, and the chaos pollution was still spreading. If I'm not mistaken, the Dusk believers hiding in the palace have intercepted the news, and when Louis receives the message tomorrow, it will be too late to respond.

And you must work with me to cooperate with the Capet family to accomplish something that is considered to be a heinous crime."

"Why should I cooperate with you! Margaret, you are a cultist! Oh my God."

The queen was stunned.

She stood up in fear and took a few steps back, shouting over here:

"You are a poisonous snake!"

"Aren't you the same? The leader of the Isha Restorers!"

Margaret sighed and said:

"We are all women with secrets. Why should we make things difficult for each other? No one should tell anyone else. Now that we have revealed our secrets, we can continue to cooperate. I assure you, Elizabeth, I am not a cult member! I was just forced to join and I have already quit.

Like you, I don't want these things to affect Louis's later life. I plan to accompany him to see his daughter grow up, and then go to the grave together.

I cherish this relationship as much as you do.

We all make mistakes, so.”

"I made a mistake, Margaret. I know I did something wrong, and I am ready to bear all the anger from Louis! But this is not a 'mistake'!"

Queen Elizabeth shook her head and said:
"Okay, tell me, what exactly does the Capet family want to do? Do they need you and me to cooperate with them in order to gain Louis' approval? Could it be that Count Lyon is going to take the most dangerous step?"

"He is not just planning it, he is already putting it into practice."

The countess rubbed her forehead and said:
"You know how angry Louis will be when he finds out about this, but we have to calm him down, and you and I will do this together.

I can assure you after both of us have explained everything today that your William will become the true heir to the throne, the peaceful integration of the Isha people and the Xilan people that you hope to see will be accomplished by your son himself, and my daughter will not interfere in the politics of the kingdom.

We are not enemies, Elizabeth.

At this moment, we have reached an agreement as two mothers. For the future of our children, you will keep a secret for me, and I will keep a secret for you. We will cooperate closely as before, okay?"

"It feels like two vicious women are discussing how to divide their husband's property behind his back."

The Queen sighed and said:
"Just discussing this makes me feel sinful. Sure enough, I should go back to the monastery I chose for myself to confess my sins. But all right, we are united."
