Della quickly put the notebook back into her pocket and said with a smile: "My cousin is so annoying! How can I show you a girl's little secret?" She jumped a few steps away and curtsied obediently: "I want to go back to my room to rest. Good night, cousin, you should go to bed early!" After that, he walked out of the door like a whirlwind and left with the maid waiting outside. starter
Jada watched their backs, narrowed her eyes, snapped her fingers, and an embassy staff member walked in, respectfully waiting for his instructions. He said: "Who was the driver of the carriage that the princess was riding in just now? Ask him to come in." "Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."
The coachman was from Ito. According to his introduction, he was soliciting customers on the street. Because the carriage was in good condition, nobles often visited it. He originally didn't know Stella's identity. It was her maid who hired him two hours ago. He followed her instructions and went to the door of Hedda's mansion to wait until half an hour ago, Princess Stella's master and servant came out of the mansion. Just got into his car. On the way, they passed through a residential area where ordinary civilians gathered, quickly left again, and then went directly to the Noga Embassy.
Jada asked in a deep voice: "Heda's house? Are you sure? Who sent them there?"
"I don't know, sir, but because I had no other work to do, I went to the gate of Hedda's house in advance, so I saw them coming in a very gorgeous carriage, which seemed to have the royal emblem on it. Woolen cloth."
"Royal family? Royal family of East?" Jada pondered for a moment, then told her subordinates to give the coachman a bag of money, and then said, "After you leave the gate here, forget about tonight. No one was picked up, you know?”
There was a sharp look in his eyes, which made people tremble with fear. The coachman was used to seeing noble people begging for life, so he immediately lowered his head and said, "Yes, yes, as soon as it got dark, I had dinner in the tavern and then went home. Not a single piece of business was done!”
Jada waved the coachman to leave, and then her face darkened.
It’s actually the Hedda family! Could it be that Stella has been interacting with that boy since she met little Hedda that time? Although he had a deal with little Heda, it was just for use. He had no intention of marrying his cousin to a tool! Not to mention that the other party has a background in the Security Agency. If this marriage is really concluded, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving the Security Administration a channel to learn about Nojia? !
Moreover... although the marriage with the second prince of East is likely to fail, as far as he knows, the battle for the crown prince in this country is not over yet. If the winner is the eldest prince Hyatt, then there is still hope for the marriage between the two countries. .
It seems. He must restrict Stella's actions. She is the Princess of Nogadi. You should have the consciousness to devote yourself to your country!
He recruited subordinates. He ordered: "From now on, if Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to go out, she must get my approval. Otherwise, she will never be allowed to leave the embassy! If she has any dissatisfaction, let her tell me herself."
Although the subordinates were puzzled. But I still responded.
Jada thought for a moment. A few more instructions: "Send a few more people to guard outside her room door and downstairs by her room window to prevent her from having other ideas. Her maid, you also need to guard her. Don't let them have any other ideas." A chance to leave! Maybe they can pass on any items or messages!"
"yes!"
Secret Precious knocked on the door. Jada waved his subordinates down. Then he motioned for him to come in. Question: "How is it? Are things going well?"
"Yes! Fortunately, among the entourage we brought, there are masters of imitating other people's handwriting. Among the pile of documents that the Weishan people put in the box, there are also blank old parchments, otherwise we would have to find them in such a short period of time. These materials are not an easy task." After a pause, Preiss approached Jada and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure you want to write according to the content of the original letter? Why not write according to what you announced at the ball?"
Jada sneered: "Since the East people stole the letter, it is impossible to do nothing. Now that I have gained the trust of Prince Weisha, it will definitely affect the interests of East and Shaonan. If they want to destroy Our relationship exposes the true content of the original faith, and our situation becomes passive.
Therefore, it is better to forge a copy and send it according to the contents of the original letter, but..." He motioned for Pres to come closer and whispered a few words.
Preiss blinked: "Are you... planning to let the Wishay people fight among themselves?"
"That man is the only one who can be considered smart among the existing Weisha royal family. Although he is a distant branch, his prestige is quite high. If it hadn't been for his instruction, how could that idiot little prince Weisha come up with the idea of plotting against East? Support the strategy of weakening Shaonan's influence on the future Weisha Kingdom? It's a pity that he can't be sent as an envoy due to illness, otherwise it would not be so easy for us to achieve our goal. Let that fool be wary of him, if there are rumors It would be better if we get out. There was a fight among them, and we just took the opportunity to take North Wissar into our hands."
Presi smiled knowingly: "In this way, even if little Prince Weisha knows that what you told him before is not the true content of the suicide note, he will be grateful to you. In order to defeat the only remaining 'heir to the throne' and become the orthodox King Wei Sha, I believe he will not be stingy with the land in North Wei Sha."
He curled his lips and said, "Pay attention to your tone when writing a letter. Add a few derogatory sentences that will make him angry enough to tear up the letter."
"Yes." Presi bowed and accepted the order, "My subordinates will deliver it in person and guarantee that after the little prince reads this letter, there will not be another piece of paper left in the world."
Jada waved her hand gently and watched Press respectfully retreat, feeling quite happy. Having a clever subordinate who can understand his thoughts can indeed save a lot of energy. More importantly, this person will not be smart.
However, he always felt as if something was missing. Capable subordinates or subordinates can certainly help him reach the highest position, but in his heart, he actually hopes to have a partner who can stand side by side with him. Whenever you have troubles, you can talk to the other person, and the other person can also give you useful suggestions. This partner must be loyal, smart, strong, and capable. Unfortunately, no such person exists.
Originally, he thought he could have such a partner. However, Sargent could not give up his selfishness and was easily tempted by the artifacts of the Demon Realm. Although he did not lose his loyalty in the end, he paid the price with his life; Mint almost fully met the requirements, but the object of loyalty was not him, and he was also dead. .
Could it be that he really had no choice but to go on alone like this? He has no friends or partners he can trust. Even his relatives are either wary, jealous or dependent on him. This feeling is really uncomfortable.
He thought of Ming Na again, this girl, the look and tone when she spoke, the more he thought about it, the more she looked like Min Te, it would be great if they were the same person.
But thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile to himself. Even if Ming Na is really Minte, she will not be loyal to him. Isn't it because of her that his plan failed today
Jada sighed, feeling very tired. She was about to get up and go back to her room to rest, but suddenly stopped.
He suddenly thought that Ming Na was obviously working for the Security Bureau, but how did the Security Bureau know the contents of the letter and then send people to steal the land? When he revealed the existence of this letter, he did not reveal anything mentioned in the letter at all. How did East become suspicious? Moreover, they only stole the letter and left the other maps, documents, etc. completely untouched. Did they have accurate information in advance
Jada suddenly broke into a cold sweat. There must be a traitor in the Nuojia mission! And they are senior personnel with access to secrets! Who is it? !
He went through all the people who knew about it in his mind, thinking carefully about whether there was anything suspicious about them recently, and then suddenly remembered his cousin who had always been absent-minded during the safari and disappeared from time to time. She has heard the content of the letter before, and she has been out frequently recently. Could it be...
It seems that he needs to investigate Stella’s recent itinerary and her personal belongings. Perhaps that suspicious black notebook can provide some clues
This investigation was naturally carried out quietly, and the "gifts" sent to the inn where the Weishaupt mission was staying soon showed results.
Originally, the little prince Weisha had heard some unfavorable gossip about Nojia and became suspicious in his heart. However, as soon as he received his father's "suicide note" from the Nojia people, he immediately broke into a cold sweat and told Jida Although he was grateful, he could no longer sit still. After East and Van A verbally agreed to provide help, he immediately set off and returned to Shaonan. News came from Shaonan that the royal cousin's illness has recovered and he must go back early to "visit the doctor"
The people from the Shaonan Mission did not express any opinions on this. The envoy took his time to contact the East nobles, signed several commercial cooperation agreements, and discussed the alliance of the southern port cities of the two countries. After finishing the draft plan for the exercise, I calmly packed up and prepared to return home.
When the information was transmitted to the Security Bureau, everyone in the Intelligence Section was a little puzzled. Don't the Shaonan people care at all? Now the Weisha people are almost trying to get rid of them and find support from other forces. Although East would not harm Shaonan's interests too much due to the alliance, Nuojia was not easy to deal with. Maybe the hard work Shaonan has spent on the Weisha people over the past few years will give others an advantage.
Ming Na was also very puzzled when she saw these reports in Dark Nest. She asked Mallory: "Does Shaonan have any tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet? I always feel like they don't care at all?"
Mallory laughed and said, “I can’t figure it out either.
However, the Weisha royal family has been in exile in Shaonan for so long, and they are neighboring countries. Even if the Weisha people get the support of Nuojia, they cannot abandon Shaonan. They are probably fearless, right? "
Ming Na understood something. She turned over the report in her hand and asked again: "I'm afraid the Weisha people will really start to rebuild the country this time. Should we send people there again?"
"That's right." Mallory felt heavy when he thought about it. "In the past, we had so many people and so many people to retreat. We have almost no one left in Weisha. We only have a few left in Anchor City. It's not enough. .”
"Isn't that right? Uncle Luma is still missing, and I don't know where he went. I'm afraid..." Ming Na bit her lip, feeling a little depressed. In war like Luma
Therefore, there are still more than a dozen missing members of the Security Agency. She still wonders whether Uncle Ma's accident happened in Fan'a territory, or whether it happened before he entered Fan'a.
"Ahem..." Mallory cleared his throat and changed the subject, "By the way, Frido has been in Kamega for more than a year, and it's almost time to be transferred back. He is from Weisha, It should be able to help.”
Minna was stunned and hesitated: "But he came back with us because he couldn't stay in Weisha anymore? Didn't you say that he likes the life by the sea? Port of Matt, Manado, Gutenberg, etc. It's very good, otherwise it would be fine to let him go to Shaonan." Frido was originally a miscellaneous subject instructor in the agency, and he also took intelligence analysis courses, and he taught well. He volunteered because he thought of the rumored sea visit. When I went to Kamika, I was actually just a non-staff member of the Security Bureau, not a regular employee, and I shouldn't be doing such dangerous work.
"Is that so? Then when he comes back, I'll ask him what he means." Mallory thought for a while, "In fact, even if he returns to Wisza, he will be different from before, and he will no longer live such a humble life. .”
Ming Na lowered her head and said nothing. Seeing this, Mallory knew that she must have something in her heart, so he slowly enlightened her: "Speaking of which, you haven't seen Will for a long time, right? He works as a secretary in the Office of the Director of Finance. A clerk is a position that specializes in copying documents and reports. But he doesn’t seem to be satisfied with this job, so I’m planning to find another one for him.”
Ming Na responded listlessly: "That guy can't sit still and always likes to take risks. This kind of paperwork is not interesting to him."
"But I also persuaded him. Although Marlene's family is not a big noble, it is a family with a century-old heritage. It is not easy to marry her. He still has to make some achievements before he can propose to her."
Ming Na's eyes widened: "Marlene? And Will?! When did this happen?!"
"It started during the war, didn't you notice? They are tired of being together all day long."
Ming Na recalled the original situation, and it was really like this. At that time, all the comrades who were fighting on the front line gathered together, and Will seemed to especially like to tease Marlene. She didn't notice at the time, and she didn't expect that it had developed to this point. She couldn't help but say: "Will also did a lot during the war. Can't he get a knighthood? Even a knight."
"He is a civilian, and his job is logistics. How can he get a title so easily." Mallory smiled, "But I agreed to him and sent him to work in the Shaonan Intelligence Department for a few years. Recently, we and Shaonan Zheng We will discuss taking action against the pirates in the southern seas. If he can make some achievements, I will help him get a knighthood."
"That's good!" As soon as Ming Na heard the word pirate, she remembered her experience that year. Although it was not a real pirate, it did not prevent her from becoming hostile to pirates. She was a little eager to give it a try: "How about...count me in?"
"Nonsense!" Mallory laughed and scolded, "Are you going to compete with Will for credit? He went there, firstly, to get some credit, and secondly, because Marlene was going to Shaonan to study abroad. She has reached marriageable age. It would be troublesome for her to get married, so she used this method to avoid it. If Will goes to Shaonan, he can also meet her from time to time."
Ming Na thought for a while and finally lost her temper: "Okay, I won't fight with him..."
Mallory was a little amused when he saw her pouting her lips with a look of reluctance: "What? We've just been on one mission, can't we suppress the urge to take risks? Forget it, you are in our intelligence department now. "
"I'm not from the Intelligence Department, I'm from the Dark Nest!" Mingna casually pulled a stack of confidential documents, opened the top one, and after just a few glances, she was stunned, "This is not... your intelligence Is it Alban from Co.? Why did the people down there send him information?!" She suddenly turned her head to look at Mallory: "Are you checking him? Why?!"
Mallory stopped smiling, calmly took the report, read it over, and then said: "It's not that I doubt the people under my command, it's just that... some of his recent actions are not normal. I suspect that Duke Jedda of Noga has contacted him. However, there may be some agreement reached.”
"Jada?" Minna became serious, "What did that guy do again? He is getting more and more cunning now. Is he trying to do something bad again?"
"This is not clear yet, but..." Mallory raised his head, "On the night of the palace ball, Princess Nogades Stella went to Hedda's house to find Alben. I personally asked the coachman, and it is said that the princess learned from him I got a black leather notebook. I suspect there is important information in it. Alben has been restless these days, and his work efficiency has been greatly reduced. I believe he is also hesitating in his heart, right?"
Ming Na was horrified when she heard this: "Are you saying... that he might... do the kind of thing his father did?!"
She couldn't believe it...that was Al Benda!
"I don't want him to do this either." Mallory said calmly, "Now it depends on how he makes his decision."
Ming Na bit her lip and suddenly had an idea in her mind.
