I'm in Terra, governing a weird little country.

Paranoia level is full, big purge warning!

Without any hesitation, Amfelis raised her feet and walked outside the headquarters, summoning the sword guards to perform a performance for the staff on what is called the Heartbeat of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.But before she even took two steps, Kent pulled her back again.He couldn't help but asked with a bit of anger:

"What's wrong? Ken, I'm rushing to sharpen my sword."

"Wait, there's another news." Ken said.

Amfelis frowned: "Isn't it good news or bad news?"

Kent nodded and said, "Yes, but I am the only one who can comment on this news."

Seeing his serious look, Amfelise had no choice but to take a deep breath, temporarily suppress the surging heat in her chest, and said:

"Go ahead."

"I saw someone." Kent said mysteriously.

It's a pity that Amfelise didn't pay any attention to his tantalizing appeal: "Don't play riddles. Don't be pretentious. Be straightforward."

Ken could only shrug and tell the truth: "I saw an Aslan."

"Daughter of Frederick III."

"Alexandrina Who Lived."

A moment of astonishment flashed across Amfelise Windermere's face, but it was more difficult to understand:

"Aslan is not extinct? Victoria still has a claimant to the throne in Kjerag?"

"You also left our daughter there with a crown prince?"

Kent pressed his palms: "Don't worry, I have told Daphne countless times not to approach or even meet that person. Don't you know about our daughter? She has been obedient since she was a child. You Just don’t worry!”

"The reason why I mentioned this news to you is to remind you that only we know this news for the time being."

"You and I both agree and believe that the current situation where the major dukes are restraining each other is the best situation for Victoria's future."

"And if the Duke of Cester really starts to have ideas about the other grand dukes and is stupid enough to want to break the existing order."

His eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice:

"Amfelis, we also have a card in our hand that is enough to counter her!"

Chapter 60 May your soul rot in your body

Duchy of Cistercian, Duke's Palace.

The Duke of Castor always gave people the impression of an elegant lady who was contentedly puffing away her breath. She never showed any scary expressions, and rarely used force as a means of threatening others to force others to do something they did not want to do. Things to do.

But this does not mean that she is not dangerous enough. In fact, as one of the most powerful grand dukes in Victoria, the Duke of Castor can be said to have single-handedly led the siege of the "Empire's Death Knell" Duke Wellington. She He has no fewer than three vassals with the same title of Duke, and his true strength is recognized as No. 1 under Wellington.

It is precisely because her means and abilities are so amazing that when people mention this duke, the first thing that comes to mind is not the king's sister or the glory of their ancestors, but her herself.

Her men keep a group of hounds called "Grey Hats" to infiltrate the entire land of Victoria for her, hunting down all valuable intelligence and prey.Because of this, she is also the only Grand Duke who barely appears in front of the stage, but can master most of the information in Victoria.

The intelligence in the Dukedom of Windermere is certainly no exception.

"Your Excellency the Duke."

When the gray hat pushed the door open, Duke Cester had already had a premonition and slowly exhaled smoke from his mouth. In the swirling smoke, his sharp light green pupils conveyed a calm aura.

"Go ahead."

"The mission in the Dukedom of Windermere failed."

She nodded slightly: "It's not a surprise. Where is our spy?"

"She died." Gray Hat's tone was a little heavy.

Kester still had no mood swings, and just asked as usual: "How was she discovered?"

The improvement of spy lurking capabilities is a long process, and the lessons of failure are the most valuable experiences.

Every time a spy fails a latent mission and is killed, the Duke of Custer will order the gray hats to immediately summarize the lessons learned from the failure, find out the key to the problem, seize the pain points of the industry, cultivate the blue ocean field, iterate the latest tactics, and strive to occupy the industry leader. Monopolize technological updates in order to reach a far-leading level.

But this time, Gray Hat was silent for a moment, but then shook his head sadly:

"She didn't find out who our spy was."

"She just stormed into the staff headquarters, forced everyone to identify each other, and then killed all the suspicious people. The charge was not espionage, but anti-corruption."

Gray Hat said awkwardly,

"You know, in order to open the joints, our spies will more or less go up and down. So as soon as the interrogation started, she was immediately identified and killed."

Duke Kester frowned, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to evaluate it.After a while, she managed to say:

"Can it still be like this?"

We can't find spies, so we just try to kill everyone who does bad things?The Duke of Windermere seems to be a bit too extreme.

Although if you really want to count, there are indeed not many people under the Grand Duke who are clean.After Tutu, the problem wasn't that big. It was just a matter of selecting another group and training them again. Judging from the style of Windermere's iron-blooded soldiers, she could indeed do it.

But for Kester, you are somewhat devoid of martial ethics.

"Didn't those nobles who were killed resist?"

asked the Duke of Cester.

Gray Hat answered truthfully:

"According to the news from the few remaining 'nails' we have in the Dukedom of Windermere, the operation was carried out very suddenly, and the Duke of Windermere was obviously prepared."

"After the staff was cleaned up, she joined the main line of several nobles to make plans. Then she quickly arranged for the branch nobles to take over the inheritance of the main line. Everyone was very satisfied. There was no one who was dissatisfied. People objected.”

What, you are not convinced?Can people who are dissatisfied still speak?

Duke Cester glanced at the humorous gray hat and nodded with difficulty.

Since he was able to achieve this step, it shows that the Duke of Windermere is not completely unprepared.This method of dealing with spies is... difficult to deal with, but it does work.

"It's barbaric."

After making this final assessment.The Duke of Cester took another drag on his cigarette.She didn't have an iron lung like the Tin Man, so she spit out the smoke after taking a breath, adding the smoke that had just dissipated, making her face hazy again.

"In addition, the Duke of Windermere also sent a messenger."

Gray Hat continued.Kester tapped the cigarette rod with his fingers:

"read."

Gray Hat took out the letter, hesitated for a moment, coughed twice, and read in a low voice:

"To the Duke of Cester, who should be sewn into the belly of a camel:

Take care of your men, put away your plot, and stay at home for me, otherwise I will use my daughter's ice pick to make a big hole in your empty head!

Duke of Windermere in Rhinekaden - Amfelise Windermere. "

Gray Hat closed the letter, not daring to raise his head to look at his boss.

Silence lingered like smoke in the living room, which was ten times larger than Prime Minister Kjerag's office. It lasted for a long time before it ended with another identical sigh from the Duke of Cester:

"It's barbaric."

Gray Hat thought that his Duke was dismissive of the letter, so he dared to raise his head, but he only saw the back of Duke of Custer standing by the window.

Veins popped up in the hand she was holding on to the window edge, and her voice came slowly:

"Answer the letter for me."

"Condemn her impolite words, express my sincere greetings to her, and remind her to remember to come to the Duke's secret meeting at the end of the year."

She gritted her teeth and emphasized,

"Be polite, okay?"

"learn."

The gray hat nodded immediately, turned around and left the conference room without stopping, unwilling to stay in this room that seemed to be heated by a furnace for a moment.

Returning to his office, he took out the letter paper, picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and then wrote:

"To the Duke of Windermere of Lyncarden:

May your soul not rot in your body, because your words and actions have revealed the irrepressible stench of blood.

Your impolite wording makes me firmly believe that the Duke of Windermere is already a degenerate duchy, abandoning the nobility and self-consciousness of being a noble.

I cannot agree with any of your accusations, nor accept any of your suggestions, but I still need to remind you that your presence is required for the Duke's secret meeting to be held at the end of the year.

If you are not convinced, will you show me how to do it? "

After signing the payment, Gray Hat read the contents and nodded.

The wording is elegant, the writing is exquisite, the position is clear, and the expression is clear.Not only did he complete the task assigned by the Duke, he also fully expressed his expectations for the upcoming secret meeting with the Duke.

Well, pretty good.What a textbook reply!

With it, wouldn't my future promotion be on a promotion machine and take off in Wuhu?

Give it to the Duke to have it stamped!

Chapter 61 Wei Na visits Longmen, Chronicles of the Kingdoms of Esth

"You've heard too many stories about Victoria, don't forget Kjerag."

Ernst reminded Vina.

Because Daphne worked tirelessly to increase Weina's favorability, the two Victorians have now become good friends.

Strangely enough, Vina is obviously a Victorian, even a Victorian from Londinium, but she has an unusual interest in the Victoria that Daphne talks about.The fortress and sword guards of the Duke of Windermere, the lakes and forests passing by on the route, and the strange insects flying at the turn of spring and summer, Vina can all listen to and enjoy.

Especially when Daphne told interesting stories about her parents, about traveling with her father, and about the postcards she collected, Wei Na listened to every word as if she was fascinated.

You said you were interested in the outside world, and that was understandable to Ernst, but even small things like Daphne bragging about her parents telling her bedtime stories and describing the furnishings in the Duke of Windermere's mansion made you look envious. The expression on his face made Ernst very puzzled.

What, you don’t have parents?

What, don’t you have a home?

What, don’t you have any other relatives at home?Why do you look like an orphan?

Ernst just said that there is no need for it. Although the Duke of Windermere does have a little bit of strength, there is no need for us to be so flattering.
