"'The Glory Star' Theodora."

"This is the daughter of the Oath Keepers, the noble royal princess," Nob paused and looked at Thales with deep meaning:

"The Duchess of Xinghu."

The Oathkeeper's daughter?

Thales' breathing was stagnant as he looked at the female knight with sharp eyebrows and thin lips smiling softly.

"She has not been famous in history for being unmarried all her life, but she is the longest-serving secret intelligence chief - her elven bloodline has given her a long and healthy life - so long that she had to retire behind the scenes early and set up a new chief to avoid causing controversy between the government and the opposition. .”

Tyr looked curiously at this heroic princess and the Duchess of Star Lake.

His... ancestors.

【Theodora·e·m·Bright Star,354-?】

Her temperament reminds people of the Flower of the Fortress, but the latter is far less powerful than Theodora's dazzling silver that makes people bow their heads.

"But the year of her death is not written on it." Thales said doubtfully.

Nobu smiled:

"Because we - the secret department ourselves don't know."

"It is said that when Princess Theodora really left the Secret Service and drifted away at the age of one hundred and one, the reigning 'surviving king' Elan III was already her great-grandson."

In comparison, her brothers had much shorter lives.

Norbu thought.

Thales looked down and saw the princess's quotation embroidered with gold thread:

[Look, look, look, look at this stupid thing.]

Thales was petrified in place.

What the hell?

Thales's face twitched in disbelief as he looked at this "Princess Quote" that was neatly embroidered but full of curse words.

This is……

Star Princess?

"Can't you just say something more normal?"

Nobu showed an embarrassed expression and hesitated:

"This is her own wish, so that is not convenient."

What if she comes back one day? - He bit these words in his mouth.

Thales narrowed his eyes and understood.

He followed the good example and no longer looked at Theodora's portrait.

"You see, although she is a woman, Theodora had a tough attitude and domineering methods when she was in power. She is the best in the secret science."

Norbu explained:

"Since her beginning, the kingdom's secret department has spread out spies all over the world, and those who are ruthless and radical will be punished."

"If necessary, she will not hesitate to issue the much-criticized overseas assassination mission, even if it may trigger a war."

Overseas assassination.

Thales was startled.

He remembered what King Nun told him that night about the fate of his eldest son.

"But it is said that in those years, the secret room dreamed of conquering the taiga in the south, and Kuntana did not dare to cross the sea of ​​​​terminus. Even though they were itching with hatred, no one dared to touch even a hair of the spies of the secret department."

Norbu looked at this special star princess without concealing the admiration and longing in his eyes.

Thales let out a breath.

Damn secret science.

How much unwritten ink is there in this place’s history books?

"Oh, I'm afraid we have to watch these next three together."

Norbu was leaning on the crutch with great interest, as if he was still getting familiar with his new third leg.

He pointed out another painting to Thales, which showed a tall, handsome, sunny and handsome man:

【Noah c.p. Almond, 434-462】

“‘Sail,’ Noah Almond.”

"It is rumored that he is one of the lovers of Queen Elijah, the Northern Conqueror."

The queen's lover...

so.

Is this the king's man?

Norbu lowered his head and blinked, changing his previous solemn tone:

"Of course, some people say that the Northern Conqueror likes to hunt for women. There is no one in her court that the queen has not slept with - regardless of gender."

After hearing the gossip, Thales looked at the handsome man Noah with a different look.

Seen from a distance, the Noah in the painting has a strong figure and a handsome face. He is indeed outstanding and was the first choice.

Nobu shook his head and said:

"But unfortunately, as Queen Alicia lost power, Gu Fan was guillotined by her deputy and successor."

"Deputy? By your own deputy?"

Thales frowned, thinking of my tavern in Blade Tooth Camp and its thought-provoking slogan.

Norbu nodded and sighed:

"Indeed, not every pairing works together as happily and seamlessly as Leinster and Halva."

He looked at the next painting.

"And this is Gu Fan's deputy."

There was a hint of awe in Norbu's words:

"The Pale Baron, Sancho."

Thales raised his head and saw a man in the painting with a bloodless face but a pair of deep eyes.

Sancho's face was good, his posture was elegant, and his fingers on the strings were long and slender. He looked like a talented man with a lot of poetry.

Not the intelligence chief of the underground world.

【Sancho d.d. Doyle, 438-489】

Tails was stunned when he saw the surname:

"Doyle? His last name is Doyle?"

Norbu said doubtfully:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The Pale Baron, Doyle.

"Nothing." Thales shook his head, remembering the previous "wise minister" Karabiyan:

"That is, whenever you put such noun combinations together..."

Thales tried hard to drive out another careless personal guard and his equally weird father from his mind, and sighed:

"It always makes people wonder, 'History, what have you done to them?'"

"Please continue."

Nobu was a little confused, but he continued:

"Sancho was once the head of the cruel staff under the Red King John II, the top of the powerful ministers, with overwhelming power and bloody hands."

"Before him, the Secret Service was just an intelligence agency. In his hands, it turned into a terrifying monster integrating supervision, control, trial, law enforcement, violence, propaganda, censorship, and stability maintenance."

Norbu spoke in a cadence, as if telling a ghost story.

"As the most powerful intelligence chief in history, he spread the anger and violence of the Red King to his heart's content, did whatever he wanted, and it was difficult to control the situation, ending the historical inheritance of countless famous families."

Thales frowned and looked at this different Doyle again: he was noble and elegant, and in no way did he look like an executioner who had suffered a lot of bloodshed.

Nobu's tone became urgent, as if he had seen the blood of those years:

"Until the Pale Baron also died at the hands of his deputy and successor, the 'Black Messenger' Mason Zoneved."

Thales raised his eyebrows.

Another death by a deputy.
To be continued...
