62 Seaside Vacations
(); In front of the Zhu Ye throne of Terraldburg, Queen Abel was specially responsible for military, foreign affairs, finance, and personnel.
When the ministers were bragging as usual and exaggerating how the Zhu Ye Empire was prospering and prospering, Abel suddenly became angry with the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
"Sir Gerald, why do we need so much funding for Romania's activities this year?"
Foreign Minister Gerald said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the political situation in Romania is currently in turmoil. The Archduke Adrian whom we support has many enemies. In order to fight against them, the budget required is naturally a bit higher."
Abel raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh? Forget about this fund, why do personnel commissions and blood medicine expenses account for such a high proportion?"
Jellal said: "Your Majesty, in order to fight against the Romanian opponents, the empire sent thirty elite vampires into the Romanian court..."
"Where is the list of these thirty people? Submit it to me for a look."
"This..." Jellal lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I will have someone send the list right away."
"Okay, let's discuss other things first."
Half an hour later, one of Jellal's family members came in holding a list.
Abel took the list and read it carefully.
"Well, many of the people on this list are relatives of Lord Jellal."
Jellal smiled and said: "I believe that Romnia is very important to the empire, and it is far away in the Western Continent. The work there is hard and difficult, and there is no need to avoid relatives when recruiting talents, so I let some of my relatives go."
"Really, Sir Gerald is really attentive." Abel clapped his hands.
"I am terrified."
"I just heard that many expatriate vampires have left their posts without permission and are living on empty wages. Qing Jeral is loyal and loyal, and presumably your relatives are also the same. There must be no such thing."
Jellal was sweating profusely after hearing this, and could only nod: "Of course."
At this time, several vampires dressed in black appeared behind Abel.
They were members of the assassination unit "Dark Fang" in the "Knights of the Blood Fang", the Queen's bodyguard.
"Go and confirm where every vampire on the list is. If they are in Romnia, reward them for their dedicated duties."
"yes."
"But if they are not in Romania, no matter where they are, even if they are only half a step away from the Romanian border, they will be executed without mercy."
After hearing this, Jellal's face turned completely pale.
Many of the blood clans written on the list are his descendants and are very close to him. They have a relationship that is more like a son than a son.
The list he submitted was also half-truth and half-false. Apart from the fact that he made up half of the fake names that did not exist and used them to line his own pockets, the other commissions did flow into the hands of his descendants, leaving them to live on their own.
The reason why this group of borers can be so carefree is entirely based on Camille's single efforts to maintain the Zhuye Empire's control over Romnia. It can be said that Camille has fed a large group of vampires in various senses.
In fact, Camille also has a general understanding of the situation in the empire. The Romanian princes who were transformed by her hands also helped her investigate to a certain extent. However, Camille knew that people are of a low opinion, and she could only communicate with them.
Jellal maintains a single line of communication, so he can only let Jellal enrich his own pockets.
This time coincided with Jiang Xiaotan's visit to Romania, and Kamil took this opportunity to report this matter to the Second True Ancestor in a gambling mood.
Moreover, she was smart and did not bluntly say that her boss was corrupt. She first reported in detail how well she had done her job, and then slightly complained about the lack of manpower. This way, Her Majesty the Queen could naturally find out the truth.
If the Queen and Gerald are the same, then Camille will not leave any clues, and this matter can be said to be flawless.
"By the way, since Sir Gerald said that the situation in Romnia is tense, we should send some more manpower to Sir Kamil. I have a list here. Please ask Sir Monica to arrange for these vampires to rush to the port of Sepula as soon as possible.
, take the merchant ship of the Cypler Development Chamber of Commerce to Romnia to support Lord Kamil."
Abel said to Duchess Monica, who is in charge of personnel.
"Yes." The Duchess adjusted the monocle on her face and said.
"In addition, Mr. Grant, if you allocate another amount of funds to Mr. Camille, it must be signed by Mr. Camille himself." Abel then said to Duke Grant, who was in charge of finance.
"Yes." Duke Grant was a little nervous. He actually knew what Gerald had done, but he never revealed it.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, let's leave now. Huh? Sir Jeral, why are you looking so pale?"
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Oh, I must have worked too hard recently. In this case, you should go home and rest for a while. The work of foreign affairs is too heavy, and it will not be good for Mr. Gerald if you are exhausted." When Abel said this,
A loving smile.
However, Jellal was frightened when he heard it: "No, no, your Majesty..."
"Okay, there's no need to refuse. I recalled playing in the water at the beach in South China a while ago. I thought Gerald could go to the beach to recuperate and refresh himself. Why don't we leave for Stockholm tomorrow?" Abel.
Said in an unarguable tone.
Stockholm is indeed close to the sea, but it is in an extremely cold place in the north, on the shore of the violently cold North Sea. This directly sends Gerald to the frontier.
Jellal immediately fell to the ground and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong. You want to..."
"Did you make a mistake? You did a good job. I think you should also know that my brother visited Romania these days. After he learned about the situation there, he praised Camille and trained him to be such a serious and responsible subordinate.
, you also contributed a lot."
After hearing this, Gerald was completely stunned. As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he actually didn't know about the Second True Ancestor's visit to Romnia.
But he knew it was too late now. He knew very well that his affairs had been exposed and he was completely indifferent. Her Majesty the Queen only spared his life because of the long-term friendship between the monarch and her ministers.
"Okay, let's disperse." Abel yawned and waved his hand to let the ministers leave.
The other ministers glanced at the lost Jellal, and each sighed and exited the throne room. Jellal thought for a while and felt that the matter was irreversible, so he also withdrew.
As soon as he reached the corridor, he quickened his pace and caught up with Duke Mathias in front of him.
"Sir Mathias, what should I do? Please help me!"
Mathias glanced at him and whispered: "Let's talk after we get out."
A few hours later, members of the "Fenghuang Society" gathered in a new secret meeting place.
Jellal didn't appear there.
"Dark Fang has taken control of Jerald, and we have lost another comrade."
"Your Majesty is going to drive all of us veterans to death."
"We can't go on like this. If it really doesn't work..."
"Sir Mathias, is that thing you obtained last time real? Do we want to..."
Duke Mathias coughed and pressed his hand down to signal everyone to be quiet.
"That thing is indeed real, but what you want requires long-term consideration."
