Sigrani left Leon's room and left Prince Lehman in the care of the nanny. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info himself and the two guards walked down the corridor to the other end of the house, which was Cezel's residence for the time being. Alector stood guard at the door, and when she saw the Empress approaching her, she hurried to meet her.

"Did there be any special movement after the father and son met?" Sigrani asked.

"Nothing special, Your Majesty."

"Okay, the hush and warmth between the family members should also be over, and it should be a dialogue between the monarch and the minister."

"Does Your Majesty want to punish Lord Cizer severely?" Alecto asked cautiously, her inquiry attracting the attention of the other three, and the eldest sister of the "Three Goddesses of Vengeance" blushed and said no more.

Sigrani pushed the door in, and the two men of the Bertrand family were relatively speechless. Cizer sat near the window, and Viscount Bertran moved a chair directly across from him.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen." Sigrani spoke first.

"Your Majesty." Father and son stood up at the same time and saluted.

"Alright, let's get rid of those courtesies." Sigrani turned to Cizer, "Cizer Bertrand, I have to say that you do have extraordinary talents in some areas, and you have captured Leon's inner weakness very well, and that is also my weakness. I'm a little surprised that with your temperament, you've been able to stay here so far, and I thought you'd have to deal with at least one or two escapes. ”

Cizer laughed, a cynical smile that disgusted Sigrani with heartfelt disgust.

"Your Majesty, I took the risk with Leon, and although the process was not a success, I don't feel that my original intention was wrong. You should know how much Leone is obsessed with you. He bows down under your skirt, but I hope you will favor him alone. If it weren't for defeating Saugrande Leus, I can't think of anything he could have relied on to win all of your love. Well, even if I give him a bad idea, all the blame is on me. Leon is my only trustworthy friend, please stop blaming him. ”

Sigrani snorted coldly, which made Viscount Bertrand on the side tremble unconsciously. The Empress gracefully sat down on a bench next to her and lazily relaxed, a rare sight.

"Cizer, as far as I know, you provoked my husband out of selfishness, right?"

"Indeed, as you instructed, you know the person who made the sinners so desperate, and she is the Miss Leonara."

"Are you trying to say that the root of the bane was originally planted by me?" The empress has beautiful eyes.

"The sinners don't dare." Sigrani could clearly see Cezel smug.

"Speaking of which, we all know that that Miss Leonara is in fact the wife of Marshal Leus, Jeanne Lambonette. Speaking of her, maybe you don't know it yet. Sigrani was deliberately selling off, and sure enough, Cezel's pride vanished immediately.

"Your Majesty, what news have you received about her?"

"Cizer, many times people who think they are smart always shoot themselves in the foot."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Thanks to your Excellency's military adventures, Farensi has also lost two generals, Admiral Gulsi Ecnast you should have witnessed his death; The other who died in the defense of Lankados happened to be Madame Leus. Sigrani was unsparing in informing Cizer of this fact.

Viscount Bertrand looked at his son's anger as if it had disappeared from his body in an instant, and the whole person seemed to have suddenly lost his skeleton and fell into the chair. After a few moments, Cizer began to laugh, but anyone could tell that it was a hysterical, abnormal laughter. Even Tisiphne, who was standing in the doorway, saw Alextor clenching his fists tightly.

Sigrani looked at Cizer with some indifference, of course, this information would be known to Cizer sooner or later, but it was up to her to say it herself, so that she could get a thrill of revenge. Because of Cezel's madness, Sigrani's originally happy married life came to an end. Because of Cizer's madness, the Empire's originally solid northern front was destroyed. Because of Cizer's madness, an irreparable gap was left between the royal family and the two ancient loyal gatekeepers. Of course, this will not be reversed by Cezel's mental blow, but it will make the Empress feel better.

After a long time, Cezel's laughter stopped, and he wiped away tears that he didn't know if it was because he was laughing too hard, or if it was for some other reason.

"Your Majesty, the sinner is willing to atone for this sin with his life."

"Do you want me to fulfill your martyrdom? Unfortunately, I have found that sometimes killing is not the best and most relieving form of punishment. Maybe I'll be kind enough to let me go to Hades to see my sweetheart, but I'm not going to make a decision right now. ”

"Your Majesty......," Cizer's father muttered.

"Your Excellency the Viscount and your son stay a little longer, but I am about to take your farewell. Don't worry, I'll leave someone at your disposal. Sigrani stood up and said.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty." Only Cizer could still make a sound.

Sigrani walked out of the room, and Tisifoneh closed the door for her.

"Your Majesty."

"Alecto, what's the matter?" Sigrani looked back to see the other man on one knee.

"Can I plead with you one thing?" The silver-haired guard officer said.

"Get up and talk."

However, Alector did not comply with the empress's will, which caused her two sisters to have a bad feeling.

"Please forgive Lord Cezel's life."

Sigrani's eyes narrowed, which is usually one of the precursors when she gets angry. Surprisingly, however, the Empress did not let out her temper, and after waiting for a long time, a word came out of her lips - "yes".

"But there's a price to be paid for any benefit, Alecto." Sigrani said coldly.

"I am willing to pay any price, my majesty." Alector lowered his head.

"Your Majesty!" Megaela and Tisiphne hurriedly spoke, trying to keep their sister from the Emperor's wrath.

"That's good!" "Then, from tomorrow onwards, you will leave my court, leave my empire, and never set foot on the land of Mastar again!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty Sigrani." Alector took the order and stood up.

"Your Majesty, please take back your fate, she is just confused for a while." Tisiphne shouted.

"No, Tisiphne, my determination is clear."

Megaela was silent at first, and only then did she take Tisiphne and speak, "Your Majesty, please allow me to leave with my sister, and we will no longer set foot on your land." ”

"Then I'll go with you." Tisiphne said hurriedly.

"I've given it, starting tomorrow." Sigrani brushed her sleeves and walked away.

Seeing the empress walk away, the three sisters looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"Megaella, you don't have to do this." Alector looked tenderly at his two unrelated sisters.

"No, sister, by the time you said that request to Your Majesty, we had completely lost His Majesty's trust and the reason to remain here. So, let's leave together. After all, we're sisters. You two are my only relatives in the world, how can I be separated from any of you? Megaela said and hugged her sister, Tisiphne looked at her and stretched out her hand, and the three women snuggled tightly together.

"Thank you, my dear sister." Tears welled up in Alecto's eyes.

"It's not worth the risk you took for the sake of that man." Tisiphne muttered.

"No, I'll be satisfied." "I'll never be able to take the place of Gina Lanfonte in that adult's heart, so this is the best outcome, and I can give up completely." ”

Alector let go of his hand, wiped his tears, and tried to put on a smile: "So, where should we travel next?" ”

"Let's go to Farensi!" It was rare for Megiella and Tisiphne to agree. However, as soon as the two of them finished shouting at the same time, Megaela immediately stared at Tisiphne with a narrow gaze. Tisiphne felt as if the other had guessed her thoughts, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable, and her healthy bronzed skin flushed.

"Then, let's do our last duty, and set out for Caiunescu." Alector announced.

Let's turn our attention to the next destination of the "Three Nemesis" - Farensi.

Before the New Year, Saugrand submitted a proposal to Her Majesty the Queen for two personnel appointments. The first was to bring the old Earl of Ingrid back to the royal capital as the head of the newly established Privy Council, and the second was to promote a young magistrate named Dustin Rastigne to the central government as court secretary.

The newly formed Privy Council, an advisory body facing the king, was made up of many older Farencian nobles and a number of scholars. Sogre proposed the establishment of such a body in the hope of broadening the government's horizons, and on the other hand, a well-established adviser was also needed by the government. Of course, the title of a member of the Privy Council sounds noble, and it can also eliminate the complaints and complaints of some old-school nobles.

The elder Earl Ingrid, the grandfather of Showinston, was also a comrade-in-arms who fought alongside the current Commander-in-Chief in his early years. However, after losing his only son on the battlefield, the old earl became a little disheartened and retired from the army early. The Count, who had returned to his fiefdom, devoted all his attention to educating his grandson and running the domain, both of which he had achieved great success in the present situation.

As for the second, it was because Saugland saw a rare talent in the lengthy proposal of the local clerk, who was a few years younger than himself. Rastigne spent a long time studying the contents of the June Edict and offered his own unique views on many of them. More importantly, for the key points, he personally did some small-scale experiments to prove that his views were right or wrong. Such an attitude is very rare among the current government officials in France.

On 12 December, Queen Margaret received the two newly arrived ministers at court.

Old Earl Ingrid Hoffman had a very dignified appearance, which of course could not be seen from the face of Huyunston, which the queen was more familiar with. When he met the king on this day, his expression was one of humility with a hint of joy. He has a square face, blue eyes, angular eye sockets, and a white beard that is neat and shiny. In the words of the old earl, "The nobles of the country have time to take care of their beards, but when I come to the royal capital, I should consider shaving them." ”

"Count Ingrid, welcome back to Caiunescu." Queen Phalensi greeted from the throne.

"Your Majesty will not give up, so that the old minister can come back to serve again." The old earl owed, and when he raised his head to look at the queen's countenance, he could not help feeling a pang of joy in his heart. Our king is such a young and beautiful girl, and his attitude towards himself is so courteous and amiable, and I have heard that he is also shrewd and capable in government affairs, and our daughter of the Pharisens is indeed outstanding. The old earl let out such admiration in his heart, and it was a heartfelt feeling.

"Your Excellency Rastigne, I have read your proposal, and I have learned a lot." The queen turned to the other.

"Wechen is just picking up the wisdom of the Prime Minister, and it is really insignificant compared to the "June Edict". Rastigne is also a man of outstanding appearance, with a clean and soft facial line, but his trumpet eagle hooked nose makes the whole person look a little dark from the side.

"You are too humble, but Lu Siqing praises you."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"Have you both found a place to stay in the royal capital? If you need anything, please feel free to ask, and I will let the Minister of Internal Affairs take care of it for you. Oh yes, and if it's convenient, I'd like to invite both of you to join us for lunch. ”

"Not an honor." The two replied in unison.

The lunch that followed was attended by Saugrand and Marshal Henry. The commander-in-chief was of course overjoyed to see his former comrades-in-arms, and at the dinner table he and the old earl recalled a lot of the past, and the two talked and laughed happily. Queen Margaret was also quite interested in these old things, and kept asking the two old ministers for details. To the inquiry of a monarch of the same age as their granddaughter, the two old men kindly recounted to the young queen as if they were enjoying the pleasure of family.

Rastigne, who came from a civilian background, could not interject here, and he looked at Saugland. As always, the Prime Minister eats in silence, and he does not say anything during the main meal, and even if he wants to discuss work, he will wait until after the meal to drink tea. However, Saugrend also noticed the predicament of the newcomer to the court, and after taking care of the food, he whispered to ask about Rastigne's life. Margaret saw this, but she did not let it disturb the Commander-in-Chief and the old Earl.

When it came to the refreshment, the old earl turned his attention to the prime minister.

"Hannibal, is our Lord Leus also the officer you brought out? I could tell from the way he was eating in front of him that he must be a well-trained soldier. ”

"No, no," Marshal Henry waved his hand, "I don't have that much ability, Lord Luce was cultivated by that Shaper. ”

"Oh—Shapelle, that clever ghost." The old earl patted his thigh and smiled, "He and Douglas are a good pair, but it's a pity ......"

"yes, there are already a lot of young people who have gone before us old guys." Marshal Henry sighed.

"My marshal, why are you starting to feel sentimental again?" Margaret caressed the back of the other's hand affectionately and said, like a gentle and considerate granddaughter, which made Earl Ingrid more and more happy.

"Haha, yes, yes, let's not talk about that." Marshal Henry said, "Lord Leus, what do you think about the placement of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Legions?" ”

"Leave the officers and join the Praetorian Guard, select some experienced soldiers to supplement the losses of the other legions, and the rest of the soldiers, let's convert the spoils, pay them a good salary, and let them go home for the New Year." When Sogrand mentioned work, he was very responsive.

"I think it's good, too, so I'll do as you say." Marshal Henry agreed, "And what are you going to do with the Thirteenth Legion?" After all, this unit received a fatal blow and suffered great losses. ”

"Leave the 30th and 32nd divisions behind, withdraw the infantry regiments, and when Griblane recovers from his injuries, let him lead the two hussar divisions in a unified manner, and the formation should still be attributed to the Praetorian Guard." Sogrande's voice was lowered, which affected the emotions of everyone present.

"So, these two things, the old minister did this, Your Majesty, do you have any opinions?"

"Ah, it's all good, Lu Siqing's opinion is the same as I imagined." The queen seemed to be a little distracted.

"Then, I'll go to deal with business first, Your Majesty, everyone, I'll leave first." Field Marshal Henry stood up and saluted.

"Then, the old minister also dealt with it privately in advance." Count Ingrid also took his leave.

"So is Wechen." Rastigne said.

"That's fine, the two adults should settle their lives as soon as possible. By the way, Lord Earl, I will inform Captain Ingrid to visit you at any time. Well, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." The three ministers left like this.

"Your Majesty, then Weichen should also ......" Seeing this, Sogrend also wanted to leave.

"Prime Minister, stay for a moment, I have something to say to you, please come to my study." Margaret gave orders without saying anything, showing the strength of the monarch, much to Thorgrande's surprise.

When the queen came to her study, the maid in the palace brought tea to the two. Margaret sat down in her chair and motioned for Saugland to sit down as well, and the Chancellor complied.

Margaret spoke first, "I say, my dear Prime Minister, how do I feel that your appointment is like an aftermath for yourself. I must not allow you to leave your work behind and slip away from me. ”

"Why would Your Majesty think that?" Thorgrande laughed.

"You have prepared for me all the candidates for prime minister in 1 year and 5 years, I can't help but think so."

Sogre made a "you see through" expression, which made Margaret smile, and Queen Farency's smile was enough to charm most young men. However, Margaret also clearly knew that her prime minister was not in this range.

"Before finding someone worthy of trust for Your Majesty, Weichen will never abandon Your Majesty." Sogrend said.

"Really?" Margaret looked at her prime minister with wide eyes, "You are not allowed to sneak away." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Wechen will never break his word."

However, the agreement between the two was quickly accelerated by a proposal.
