"In addition to our MI9, Viscount Stepford will also dispatch manpower for protection. I don't want you to have any conflicts with them. Otherwise, this will not only make the relationship between the two departments continue to deteriorate, but also make Her Royal Highness the Princess
The wedding became a laughing stock in other countries."
At the end, Director of MI9 Selt made a summary, and his words also caused the expressions of the four deputy directors on the left to change more or less.
Viscount Stratford, the chief of the Loen Palace Guards, not only has the authority to mobilize the royal guards, but also has the authority to correspond to the deputy director within MI9. Originally, this was a blow to the director of Celtic.
He had authority, but he never showed it. On the contrary, the four groups that were not within the scope of his "management" had great opinions on Viscount Stepford.
After all, within MI9, everyone has the authority of the deputy director, but who allows Viscount Stratford to be in charge of such an elite force as the Royal Guard? They are also under the direct command of King George III, and they have no relationship with each other.
Naturally, there will be contradictions, especially when Celtic has no intention of expanding the contradictions.
At the end of the meeting, the seven deputy directors left the conference room one after another, leaving only the director Selt and the leader of the "Church Comprehensive Affairs Processing Group" Colonel Jordi.
"What's your purpose for doing this?" Jordi, who had dark circles under his eyes, took out a cup of coffee from somewhere and held it in his hand, looking at the closed door of the conference room with some confusion.
Although there are many conflicts between MI9 and the Royal Guard, especially the four departments beyond the control of Selt, this is what the king is happy to see. Except for himself, no king wants his two swords to be controlled by the same will.
Driven, this will make him think that his power is being challenged.
Everyone in Loen, especially the higher-ups, knows that the royal family has many powerful trump cards, including demigods, sealed objects, angels... But these kings can only mobilize some of them. It is impossible to even think about mastering them all. Only MI9 and
The royal guard is the force that the king can use.
"Find something for them to do." Selt knocked on the table, "Major General Gutierrez is responsible for the specific protection of the eldest princess's marriage, and this period is when you expand the strength of the comprehensive team. This is the only way
Only then can I be sure that the comprehensive team will get a deputy director position."
"Will Your Majesty agree?"
"I don't know, but I believe the possibility is very high. In the future, Roen may face a war with Feysac. No one knows how big the scale of the war will be. According to past experience, when preparing for a big war
In the past, the royal family would compromise with the three major churches to gain certain support, and the comprehensive group is a good opportunity."
"Then I can only hope that you will always be the director." Jordi took a sip of the iced coffee and added lightly.
His predecessor, Mark, the deputy director in charge of the comprehensive group, failed in the competition with Celtic because he was too close to the three major churches. Later, even the position of deputy director was axed.
"Haha, then who knows?"
…
Thordrak's Palace.
"What are you doing?"
A somewhat arrogant voice reached the ears of the maid Josephine, which startled her in a daze. When she reacted, she almost collapsed to the ground when she saw the man in front of her:
"Your Highness Govington, I, I..."
"Humph, there are really no rules!"
Winton, the eldest prince of Loen, is thirty-three years old this year. He is in his prime and has a strong body. His experience as a student at Pulitzer Naval Academy has given him a military temperament. He has a square face, big eyes, and a rudimentary mouth.
The bearded man looks very much like his grandfather, the former king William VI the Strong.
"Brother, don't embarrass Josephine." Princess Delina opened the door at some point and sighed when she looked at Josephine who could hardly stand.
"Delina, you are still too soft-hearted. This is Thordrak Palace now, you can defend her, but in the Palace of Wende, can you still defend her?"
"elder brother!"
When she heard about the Wende Palace, Delina raised her eyebrows, her green eyes widened, and her lips formed a line.
Govington raised his palms and put them on his chest, and said quickly:
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore..."
Ever since Delina learned that Charlie committed suicide on the day the news of her marriage to Crown Prince Ma Xi was released, her attitude towards the marriage changed. It was not that she wanted to fight the marriage, but she just became indifferent. As long as someone mentioned it in front of her,
It will become what it is now.
Although Prince Govington had already given in, Delina had no intention of letting him go. She reached out and pulled her personal maid Josephine into the room, and closed the door with a bang.
Facing his sister's merciless "entertainment", Govington's face instantly darkened, and he subconsciously raised his fist and smashed the door, but in the end he restrained himself, shook his arm bitterly, and turned around
leave.
This is not the first time he has been treated like this.
Delina is getting married to Crown Prince Ma Xi. King George III will not go to Ma Xi. As the elder brother, he will naturally attend on behalf of Luen, and this is the first time he will attend in such a capacity. For those who are eager to obtain
For Govington, who is the crown prince, he naturally attaches great importance to it.
He not only hired a group of scholars who had studied Ma Xi to help him understand some of Ma Xi's etiquette, but also came to discuss with his sister Delina many times, but the two often broke up after a few words of conversation.
He naturally knew that it was because he did not care about the death of his brother Charlie that Delina treated him like this, but he did not regret it. Especially before he knew that his good friend had an affair with Fusac because of Charlie's betrayal.
After losing in the war, he no longer had any good impression of Charlie.
Govington did not stay in Thordrak Palace for too long, but returned directly to his manor. Only there could he talk freely with his cronies without worrying about anything else.

"Are you saying that this time the escort work is not handled by Stepford, but by MI9?"
After finally calming down his anger along the way, Govington received an unexpected piece of news from his most trusted confidant as soon as he returned to his manor.
"Yes, Your Highness. Because the journey is too long, Viscount Stepford is also responsible for the security inside the palace, so the escort this time is by the deputy director of MI9 and Major General Gutierrez of the action team."
A man who looked to be in his early forties, with thin cheeks and a short beard reported in a deep voice. His arms naturally hung at his sides, his back was slightly tilted forward, and his neck was lowered, making him actually taller than Govington.
He who is taller looks shorter.
"Well, I didn't think of this before..." Govington nodded and looked at the man standing in front of the fireplace, "Lucerne, how is your relationship with Major General Gutierrez?"
The guy named Lucerne in front of him was a member of the internal personnel team of MI9. He was introduced by his butler from MI9 after Charlie's death, and he took the initiative to join him.
There were too many such things after Charlie's death. If the other party hadn't come from a key department like MI9, he would probably not have been summoned, but Lucerne's role was stronger than he expected.
Because of the personnel team, the other party can obtain most of the personnel deployment information and internal detailed information of MI9. According to the other party, mastering the personnel team is equivalent to mastering the detailed information of every member of MI9.
This is a huge temptation for Govington.
Last year's defeat in the East Balam war made it difficult for Govington to expand his influence in the navy, and the risk was too high. But if he could control MI9, why worry about not having support in the army?
As for whether his father, George III, will use this to punish him? At least now that there is only one adult male heir in Loon, Govington is not too worried about this. And how did Stepford come to power? Isn’t it because of his father’s support?
Next, did you move the former Chief of the Palace Guard, Mason Dill?
"Your Highness, Major General Gutierrez did not grow up from within MI9. He was directly transferred from the Royal Army Brigadier General. Even though he has joined MI9 for three years, he is still full of military temperament..."
Lucerne did not answer directly, but his answer satisfied Govington, because His Royal Highness the Prince once attended Pulitzer Naval Academy, and although he had not served in the military, he always considered himself a qualified soldier.
"You mean I can show kindness to Major General Gutierrez appropriately?"
"Yes, but preferably on the way back."
"Well, I understand what you mean."
Before arriving in Masi, Gutierrez's main goal must have been to ensure the smooth marriage of Princess Delina, but after returning, Covington naturally became the target of key protection, and the two people naturally had the opportunity to come into contact.
"Well Lucerne, do you think there is anything else I need to pay attention to this time?" Govington leaned on the single sofa and rubbed his temples.
"I think there is something that Your Highness needs to consider carefully to avoid making mistakes."
"What is it?"
Lucerne, who had thin cheeks, narrowed his eyes:
"It is a matter of religious belief. There has always been a great conflict between the Church of Storms and the Church of Knowledge. Whether it is within the Royal Guard or within MI9, there are no longer a few people who believe in the Lord of Storms, and it is easy to conflict with the clergy of the Church of Knowledge...
…And the Church of Knowledge has a very high status in Ma Xi.”
"You're right!" Covington regained his energy, slapped the armrest of the sofa and stood up, pacing back and forth, "Especially when handing over to Sisson County, if you are not careful, you will definitely cause a big mess.
This will have a very bad impact on me.”
For the eldest prince, the protagonist of this marriage is neither his sister Delina and Crown Prince Ma Xi, nor Lu En and Ma Xi, but himself, who officially represents Lu En at major occasions.
"And you also need to consider another issue, that is, Princess Delina will definitely get married in the church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom. You are a believer in Storm and Augustus, which will make you suffer a lot of criticism.
."
Since the founding of Loen, generations of Augustus have believed in the "Lord of Storms". Although they have not reached the point where Lunberg and Maxi need to be crowned by the Pope before they are recognized, if Govington has entered the realm of knowledge and
The Church of the God of Wisdom will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the Church of Storms.
"Looks like I'm going to have a good chat with that group of scholars again."
Govington touched his receding hairline with a headache, and did not see the flash of disdain on Lucerne's face behind him.
It's not the first time Lu En and Ma Xi have been married. How could such a thing not be prepared in advance? It's just that the arrogant and arrogant Govington, who has always regarded himself as a standard soldier, would not understand this at all.
…
Bridge District, Iron Gate Street, "Brave" Bar.
Looking at Ian Wright who took the initiative to go out and leave room for conversation, Klein unconsciously touched the beard around his mouth and twitched his mouth... What a naughty kid! But he has indeed grown up a bit...
... He looked away and found that Sharon was no longer playing the role of a "ghost" as before, but now more like an exquisite puppet.
Is this an early act? His spirituality tells him that the other party has not been promoted.
"How's Maric doing?"
Klein had successfully been attacked by the Rose School before, spending pounds of gold coins to hire his own messenger, and while escaping the disaster, he made the "Blood Admiral" into a marionette. If a suitable replacement is found, then
You can sell the "Wraith Soul" trait to Maric.
"He is raising funds to collect potion materials."
Isn't this a coincidence? Klein showed a smile and said:
"Then you can ask him to just prepare to raise funds. I have a 'revengeful soul' feature here, but it may take some time."
"In addition..." Klein pulled out a silver necklace from his collar, "I have an extraordinary item here that I want to sell..."
After he gave a brief introduction, Sharon, who had no expression on her face, rolled her eyes:
"Senior?"
"Yes."
Klein did not hide it. Gehrman Sparrow was going to disappear for a while anyway, and Dwayne Dantès would appear later. Moreover, he still had many things about the Rose School that he wanted to inquire from Sharon.
After a series of questions and Sharon answered them one by one, she took the initiative to mention one thing:
"Williams Street was destroyed."
Klein tried to figure out how he would react when Miss Sharon brought up this topic, and immediately frowned and said:
"By whom? When?"
"'Nighthawk' and 'Mechanical Heart', more than two months ago." Sharon frowned slightly, "One night not long after that, two people went to explore there."
"Who is he? Have you been discovered?" Klein heard what Sharon meant.
"Um."
Sharon briefly described the appearance of the two people, but found that Sherlock's expression became more and more surprised, and he seemed to be unable to restrain the twitching of his facial muscles.
"You, you...you mean, no, can you draw it? I want to make the final decision!"
