"Have you smelled something?"
In the night breeze, the silver mask reflected the moonlight. Ray Mingkai looked at the busy crowd below with a faint smile.
"Then I'll send someone to chase after them."
Viretta said.
Ray Mingkai shook his head and raised his hand to stop Viretta.
"No, there's no need. Today is just a greeting. We will have many chances to fight against the Black Knight Regiment in the future. "
Ray Mingkai lowered his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was detained by the soldiers. He looked at the boxes of illegal drugs being moved to the empty space in front of the warehouse. His face was ashen.
"Today's results are enough to be considered a good start! Viretta. "
Viretta did not understand Ray Mingkai's meaning. However, after thinking for a while, she felt that she understood, but she could not explain why.
Looking at Viretta's beautiful face, Ray Mingkai faintly smiled with his slender eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Viretta, it's about time. Pack up and send a message to the governor. Just say that the mission is complete. "
"Yes!"
The first mission of Department Q was completed very well.
Although they met the Black Knight Regiment led by ZERO as predicted, the results were enough to provide Cornelia with a satisfactory answer.
The next day.
Cornelia, who had just arrived at the government office, was blocked by a group of nobles. The reason was obvious.
Especially when Cornelia saw the amiable-looking middle-aged man standing in front of the nobles. She had already guessed the purpose of these people's visit.
"Count Augustus, why did you bring people to block the governor's way?!" The captain of the guards, Gilbert, took a step forward and stopped in front of Cornelia as he scolded.
However, in the next moment, Cornelia raised her hand and patted Gilbert's shoulder. She stared at Count Augustus and said, "Count, if there is anything, you can follow me back to the office to discuss it in detail. Such an abrupt action is against the nobility of the Britannia Empire. "
Cornelia's words immediately caused the nobles who were blocking the door to look at each other in dismay. They subconsciously took a few steps back and made way for Cornelia.
As the leader, Augustus's expression did not change. He still maintained the attitude of a good old man. He slightly leaned to the side and made way.
"The governor is right. It's my fault! "
A small conflict was resolved.
However, an even greater conflict had crossed the red line that was about to erupt.
"Speak! Count, and everyone, why have you come here today? "
After returning to the office, Cornelia raised her hand and had all the attendants except for Gilbert and her adjutant, Dalton, leave the office. Then, he sat down and calmly waited for Count Augustus to speak.
"Governor. May I ask if Department Q was established by the Governor himself? " Augustus didn't speak. Instead, a small noble standing in the crowd stepped out and asked after bowing to Cornelia.
"Yes. I ordered it. Is there a problem? "
Cornelia's answer was very straightforward.
Cornelia's straightforwardness caused the nobles to be at a loss of what to do. In the communication between these nobles, everything was usually accompanied by wrangling.
Even when the late Third Prince Clovis interacted with nobles like them, it was the same.
However, Cornelia was so straightforward and frankly admitted that she was the one who ordered the establishment of Department Q.
"Then, what is the function of Department Q?" Another middle-aged man wearing a white noble's attire and a series of medals on his left chest asked Cornelia with an arrogant expression.
Upon seeing this person, Cornelia immediately recognized him. No, it should be the family background behind this person.
It was the famous Turinus family with outstanding military achievements. However, this middle-aged man in front of her was the most useless third son of this family, Ponduras K. Turinus.
As the son of a famous family with outstanding military achievements, not only did he not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he was also intoxicated in the world of sensual pleasures. All day long, he wore the medals that his parents fought for with their blood and sweat.
He was just like a clown.
Thinking of this, Cornelia couldn't help but snort coldly and said in a cold voice:
"Viscount Ponduras. Department Q's current duty is to deal with the Black Knight Order that openly rebelled against the Empire in the hostage kidnapping incident not long ago. Is there a problem? "
"Black Knight Order?!"
As soon as Cornelia's words left her mouth, it caused a lot of discussion among the nobles.
During this period of time, the existence of the Black Knight Order made the nobles feel a fear that they had never experienced before.
No matter how strict the defenses were, they would be breached by the mysterious Black Knight Order, leaving behind many corpses that were punished in the name of justice.
In the midst of the discussion, Count Augustus slowly asked: "Governor. Is it worth the trouble? "
"Oh?"
The corner of Cornelia's mouth raised slightly, and she said indifferently: "Whether it's worth it or not, it's not up to me to decide. According to the reports gathered after the multiple attacks, the Black Knight Order's goal is clear and stable. "
Cornelia opened the drawer of her desk, took out a document, and placed it on the table. She said word by word: "This is the first mission that Department Q completed last night. I wonder if anyone is interested in reading it? "
"This …"
As soon as last night was mentioned, the nobles all looked at Augustus. Whether it was Cornelia, Augustus, or even themselves, they all knew that they were just supporting characters.
Today's main characters could only be Cornelia and Count Augustus.
"Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" Count Augustus said slowly: "The private property of the Empire's nobles should be protected by the Empire's laws. Why does the Governor's Department Q dare to break into the private property of the nobles and trample on the Empire's laws?! "
"Empire's laws?"
As soon as she heard this word, Cornelia laughed instead of being angry.
"Count, you must be joking! How can a warehouse that hides a large number of illegal drugs be protected by the Empire's laws?! I wonder if Count Augustus can explain to me which part of the Empire's laws, which part of the law states that illegal drugs are protected by the Empire's laws?! "
Cornelia's expression quickly turned cold, making the nobles take a step back subconsciously. It wasn't until just now that these nobles realized that Cornelia · LI · Britannia, the Empire's princess who galloped on the battlefield, wasn't what they imagined, a weak woman who stayed in the back and ascended to the legendary realm with the help of the Knight Guards.
Earl Augustus also gradually lost his benevolent face and became more and more ferocious.
However, just as he was about to explode, he suddenly calmed down.
"Governor is right. It's my lack of discipline that allowed my subordinates to take advantage of the loophole and almost caused a disaster. No matter how the governor punishes me, I, Augustus J. Augustus, have no complaints. "
Count Augustus's performance made Cornelia murderous, but there was nothing she could do.
Although Ray Mingkai led Department Q to seize a large number of illegal drugs, it couldn't become the key evidence to bring down these crazy blood-sucking nobles entrenched in the 11th district.
"Well. Thank you very much for Count Augustus's deep sense of justice. Let's call it a day! I'll send the results to Count Augustus's mansion. "
"Yes! I've offended you today! Please forgive me, governor! In the future, I ask the governor to move forward hand in hand with us for the stability and prosperity of the 11th district! "
After a confrontation, both sides made concessions.
Looking at the back of Count Augustus leading many nobles out of the Government Hall, Cornelia's face became colder and colder.
If she rashly handed over the 11th district to Euphemia now, she was afraid that it wouldn't be a good thing.
Cornelia was very clear about her sister Euphemia's personality. But she knew that it was difficult for Euphemia to deal with these nobles who were already a pain in the ass.
"Dalton. In the name of the governor, praise Department Q and hope that they will continue to work hard! In addition, if the mission requires it, you can request to cooperate with the personal guards! "
Adjutant Dalton slightly bowed and replied: "Yes! Your Highness! "
The praise from the governor's mansion was quickly passed to Ray Mingkai and the others.
"Wow! It seems that the governor thinks highly of you! K！”
Looking at the reward sent in the name of the governor's mansion, Royd looked at the calm Ray Mingkai in surprise.
Ray Mingkai walked to the table, raised his hand to pick up the champagne placed in the ice water, shook it, and smiled: "This isn't a prize. Royd. This is a death sentence. "
"Death sentence?" Seychel blinked and asked with some confusion: "Why do you say that?"
Ray Mingkai chuckled, unscrewed the cork of the champagne, poured the wine into the glass, and looked at Viretta.
"Viretta, you say it."
"Yes."
Viretta nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "This morning, Count Augustus led many nobles to block Governor Cornelia and her party at the entrance of the government office. Then, in the governor's office, Governor Cornelia and Count Augustus had a small conflict. The result was that Count Augustus compromised and gave away these prizes. "
"Oh! If that was the case, then this was really a death sentence! K！ It seems that your new job isn't a good thing! "Royd who understood the situation gradually had a playful smile on his face.
He and Seychel knew about Ray Mingkai's past, as well as the reason for Gaun's death.
Now that the situation was developing, it was unknowingly moving in a certain direction.
"Not a good thing? Not necessarily. For me, it's a very good job! "
Ray Mingkai raised his glass and drank the wine, pausing between each word as he spoke.
