In the Name of the Queen

"what happened?"

At an emergency cabinet meeting, the Minister of War roared and asked, glaring angrily at the major general sent out to perform the protection mission.

The army major general who was scolded by him was full of grievances.

What can he do?

He hurriedly gathered the convoy to go south, but encountered a convoy turning back on the road.

Sif didn't give him a good look and asked him to follow her back to the imperial capital.

Asked the advance team Jace about the situation, but Jace refused because he was not his direct superior.

So he returned to the imperial capital with thousands of people in a daze.

After working hard for several days, I got nothing.

After listening to the major general's report, the Minister of War was also speechless.

There's nothing wrong with Jace's approach, it's just that he doesn't know how to adapt.

He had no choice but to have Jess summoned for questioning.

Captain Jess of the Cavalry Battalion strode into the cabinet meeting hall, looked at the cabinet ministers, without much expression on his face, saluted the Minister of War in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and then began to report.

His report was very detailed.

The Earl of Tyrone kept detailed records of who he met and where he went.

The Minister of War became more and more uncomfortable. He interrupted him and asked:

"I also asked you to protect the count's entourage. What did they do?"

Faced with the somewhat rude attitude of the Minister of War, Jace smiled slightly and recounted the actions of the members of the Earl's Guard.

The simple summary is that everything is normal.

The Minister of War stared at Jace with some annoyance and asked: "Who cares about these little characters, Roland? What is he doing?"

"have no idea."

Jace said calmly.

The Minister of War was furious and yelled angrily: "Jace, I asked you to keep an eye on the entourage, but you left out the most important Roland. Is this how you do things?"

Jess said calmly: "Your order is to keep an eye on the movements of the personnel. Captain Roland has no affiliation with Earl Tyrone. Earl Tyrone is the chief instructor of the Knights and has a lower position than Captain Roland. So Earl Tyrone It’s Roland’s entourage, not the other way around.”

Secretary of War: "."

Veins popped up on his forehead, and he angrily grabbed the tea cup at hand, but did not throw it out.

He was not the only minister present, so he could not lose his composure.

Although he was extremely angry, the Minister of War still suppressed his anger and said coldly:

"Jace, you're doing a great job. The three overseas provinces need soldiers like you who are resolute in executing orders. You pack up and prepare to report to the Hanseatic Province. The transfer order will be issued soon."

Jess saluted the Minister of War with a calm expression and said calmly:

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I am extremely eager to contribute to the empire. This is my honor."

Jace turned and left.

When he turned around, he looked at the Minister of War with unmistakable contempt.

Such insect-like officials can be found everywhere in the imperial capital.

He didn't want to stay in the imperial capital where singing and dancing flourished.

The three overseas provinces are the stage for soldiers to gallop freely.

He is twenty-one years old and no longer young.

If he couldn't make any achievements within three years, he didn't plan to stay in the army. He would simply go home and inherit the family property and become a happy playboy.

Jace left calmly, but the Minister of War was so angry that he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

Definitely intentional.

Not accidentally.

Jace was promoted to major in the imperial guard force when he was in his early twenties. He was definitely not stupid. How could he not understand the meaning behind his words?

Whoever thinks Jess is stupid is really stupid.

After the miscellaneous people left, there were only a few cabinet ministers left in the conference hall, and they were all determined to weaken the imperial power.

Several people looked at each other, questions lingering in their minds.

what happened?

Why did Her Majesty the Queen leave the Imperial Capital for the Port of Dorwall as the Earl of Tyrone, and why did she return to the Imperial Capital overnight in anger over the attack?

She left the imperial capital on her own, but did not refuse them to send someone to "escort" her.

She did not take the initiative to contact officials or soldiers at the Port of Dorval, but angrily scolded the officials after the attack.

No matter how you look at it, she looks like a young queen who has no experience in the world.

Could it be that.

The foreign minister who remained silent coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Perhaps Your Majesty is just tired of staying in the palace and wants to go out and relax? Have you forgotten one thing? She is only seventeen years old this year, and she was a carefree earl before."

William did not agree with this statement, but he did not say anything because other cabinet ministers were willing to accept this view.

The Minister of Finance calculated the cost of this operation and said with some distress: "Everyone, Your Majesty will travel a lot in the future as an earl. If you mobilize troops every time, the cost will be too high."

Seeing the miser's distressed expression, William only felt a headache.

Although Scrooge was right, he didn't want to hear it.

Just when he had a splitting headache, the Foreign Secretary promptly added fuel to his fire.

"William, it doesn't matter whether His Majesty had a sudden thought or another idea. She did not refuse us to send troops for protection, and her whereabouts will not get out of control, which shows that she still trusts us."

"Now we should consider the ensuing diplomatic disputes. Alina is a noble of the Jin Yuan Kingdom. Her father ruled the world with one hand in the Jin Yuan Kingdom. It is difficult to explain such a bizarre death in our country."

William stared at the Foreign Minister with some dissatisfaction.

Someone with a long-term background of studying abroad should not be allowed to be a diplomat.

XX's weak head!

Although he was troubled by the Queen's escaping behavior, William stood firmly on the Queen's side when dealing with the outside world.

"Explanation? As a special envoy, they hid in the port city and attacked our high-ranking nobles. They should explain to us!"

Just as William hit back at the Foreign Minister, the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, who was hiding in the corner, suddenly raised his head and said softly and firmly:

"Everyone, don't worry about Alina. Her father is dead. At the latest, the document requesting the arrest and extradition of her by the Golden Kite Country will be delivered in one or two days."

"Ah?!"

The whole audience was stunned.

The ministers looked at the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau and were stunned for a long time before they remembered that he attended every formal meeting.

With such good stealth performance, he is worthy of being an intelligence officer.

Considering the terrible work performance of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the ministers were skeptical.

The old face of the Director of the Military Intelligence Bureau was slightly red, and the veins on his neck were bulging. He tried his best to argue: "Don't look at me like that. We have a very accurate grasp of the intelligence of the Golden Kite Country."

Everyone was relieved.

This is true. The inefficiency of the Military Intelligence Bureau also varies by country.

When collecting intelligence from the Vladimir Empire and the Empire, the Military Intelligence Bureau was as clumsy as an old lady. When collecting intelligence from the Golden Kite, Talia and other countries, they were as efficient as a cold and ruthless machine.

Since the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau said so, William was relieved.

He smiled and pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to listen to him.

"Everyone, since Her Majesty is young and playful, we don't need to spoil her fun. We can allocate a dedicated guard to her and protect her every time she goes out."

"As for the diplomatic envoys of the Golden Kite, we must act faster and question them before they question them."
