He followed Norbu's gaze and saw the third person:

【Mason H.A.Zonevid, 443-506】

This man was alone in the darkness, his eyes were gloomy, his appearance was the same but he looked mean and unkind, like a wild beast in a corner that preys on people.

If you just look at the portraits, Almond the Gufan is an upright and heroic young man, the pale Baron Doyle is a gentle and narcissistic talent, and the Black Messenger Zonevid...

There is no doubt that he is eerie and has the temperament of a villain.

Norbu's voice came:

"The Black Messenger betrayed his master and sought glory. After killing Sancho, he failed to surrender. Fortunately, he received the first execution order issued by the 'Wise Lord' Mindis III after he succeeded to the throne: to spend the rest of his life in the Prison of Bones."

Thales took a long breath:

"So, from the time of the Northern Conqueror to the Red King, the three intelligence chiefs of the Secret Service all suffered from internal disasters and did not end well."

Why, is backstabbing also popular in Kingdom Secrets?

As if feeling the Duke's emotion, Norbu said slowly:

"At that time, the kingdom was in chaos."

Thales nodded.

"A little gossip," perhaps to liven up the atmosphere, Nobu lowered his voice and smiled slightly:

"It is said that these three stewards have all slept with Queen Alicia, or in other words, have been slept with by the Queen."

Slept with the Queen.

Thales raised his eyebrows and scanned the portraits of Lone Fan, Pale Baron, and Black Messenger, and suddenly realized that they were either heroic, gentle, or gloomy, but they were all mature men with their own characteristics.

Okay.

Taking advantage of her position...this queen really knows how to enjoy herself.

"It's really messy," Thales blinked:

"In every sense of the word."

At this moment.

"enough."

They all turned around and found Raphael standing behind them, looking uncertain.

He stared at Norbu sullenly, then looked reproachfully at the prince.

"I told you, don't move."

The Desolate Bone Man said coldly:

"Especially with strangers."

Thales looked at Nobu, who lowered his head apologetically.

Duke Xinghu twitched his lips.

"Sorry, I thought..."

Thales glanced at the room behind Raphael:

"It's not that fast to wipe your butt."

The eyes of Raphael and Thales met in the air, and a wave of swords and sword shadows were exchanged in the air.

Norbu observed his words and stepped forward to salute at the right time:

"Raphael."

Raphael seemed to have noticed the man on crutches and replied coolly:

"Nobu."

For some reason, Thales felt that the relationship between the two of them was a little stiff.

Norbu smiled slightly:

"So, I heard that there is a sudden big case involving the nobles of the Western Wilderness?"

Raphael nodded, with a touch of alienation in his words:

"Yes."

Nobu nodded clearly and looked into Raphael's red eyes:

"Well, it's not my case, but if you need help..."

Raphael interrupted him without saying anything:

"If I need help."

Seeing that the other party didn't want to say anything, Nobu stopped talking to him and turned to Thales.

"I haven't had time to say thank you, Your Highness Thales," Nobu said respectfully:

"If you like me, I would like to visit later..."

"Your Highness still has something important to do," Raphael suddenly stood in front of Thales and said with a warning:

"And he did it privately."

Nobu stopped silently.

"Of course," he looked at Raphael who refused to give in and nodded in despair:

"certainly."

Norbu saluted Thales again, turned around and left limping with an unskilled cane.

The figure is lonely and somewhat pitiful.

Thales couldn't bear to see it.

"What did Norbu do?"

After Nobu left, Thales suddenly asked.

Raphael frowned:

"What?"

Thales followed in the footsteps of the Bone Man:

"What did he do wrong during the Year of Blood that led to him being stationed in the Western Wilderness, which is akin to exile?"

Raphael's face tightened:

"You have to ask yourself, or your lord, about that."

"Really? Thales observed Raphael's face and hummed.

"If you want to take a day trip to the Secret Academy, Your Highness," Raphael said unhappily:

"I can definitely meet your needs."

"Why, are you jealous when you see how popular I am?" Thales was happy to see Raphael's unhappy look.

Raphael hummed softly and continued to move forward.

"Okay, so, Guide Raphael, who is this?"

Thales pointed casually.

Raphael glanced:

"Lisaandro Esposito, no nickname."

In other words, there are too many nicknames, so just don’t give them any.

Thales came closer to the portrait. It was a middle-aged man with a humble smile and kindness:

【Lysando Esposito,530-602】

【When you know you are wrong, you have done something right.】

"He was born in the year that the wise king died. As the son of a humble leatherworker, he changed his destiny by passing the literacy test. He eventually became the intelligence chief of the 'Silent One' Su Mei IV and attended the imperial meeting."

Raphael moved forward steadily, regardless of Thales being left behind:

"Since him, the Kingdom's Secret Service has swept away the old traditions. It is no longer the king's personal toy, but an important national intelligence department with clear powers and responsibilities, efficient operation, sufficient budget, and important status. Bit by bit, step by step, it will

Over the past century, we have taken back the disadvantages of the darkroom one by one."

"So there is today's secret science."

Raphael's tone was respectful.

Thales had to speed up all the way to keep up with Raphael's inconsiderate pace.

"And he was also Lord Morat Hanson's teacher."

Raphael walked out of the corridor and came to a special-shaped iron door. He also opened the magic lock in the ripples of air with his fingers, and turned into a dark inner room.
