Chapter 389 Behind the Scenes: Aiwass

"Then, the Minister of Trade did not continue to respond and sat down directly..."

Isabel stood in front of Aiwass' bed, racking her brains to remember like a student being asked questions by the teacher.

She tugged at the corner of her clothes with some embarrassment, as if she had returned to the time when she first started receiving lessons from Yanis.

"anything else?"

Aiwass asked casually: "Do you think he is afraid?"

He was currently lying on a warm quilt, looking through the meeting minutes.

He stayed up all night last night to help Isabel with special training. While waiting for Isabel to chair the roundtable, he took the time to catch up on some sleep. Although I only slept for four or five hours, it was enough for the time being.

"He should be scared. I even felt like he was scared."

"Okay, I get it."

Aiwass raised the corner of his mouth slightly and wrote in another notebook with a pen: "Where is Mr. Mycroft?"

"Minister Hermes said that he wanted to recruit a new group of palace staff. I think what he said makes sense. The people recruited during my grandmother's time should also be replaced..."

Isabel responded uncertainly: "I'll just give you permission... No problem, right?"

"No problem. Your judgment is very accurate, and this matter must be left to him, and he must keep an eye on it the whole time. Otherwise, it is very likely that many eyes will get in - especially when you are so aggressive. sexual situation."

Aiwass said casually: "By the way, when he finishes this matter, he can be promoted. With his ability, it is a pity to only be the minister of the palace... Let him recommend another minister to succeed him. Then give him a position as a powerful minister, or you can also let him be an affairs officer.

"Also, stop standing, my Majesty... This makes me look so pitiful... Please sit down first."

Under Aiwass's admonition, which made people laugh and cry, Isabel sat directly on the edge of Aiwass' bed.

Lily, who was standing quietly in the corner, came over and brought a cup of tea.

Lily's sense of presence has become lower and lower now. Now she looks like a shadow when standing still, which is impossible to detect - but when needed, she will appear quietly and hand over what is needed. come over. The royal servants who serve Isabel are definitely not as high-level as Lily.

Because of this, when Isabel came to find Aiwass, she didn't bring her servants with her at all.

It just so happened that Aiwass couldn't let other people know about helping her with advice. This is Isabel's secret.

Aiwass was lost in thought.

He still remembered that after he confirmed the talent of his brother Sherlock, he wrote down this name.

Mycroft Hermes obviously has wisdom and talent that surpasses most ministers and is even stronger than Sherlock, but he is usually inconspicuous and completely inconspicuous. The daily code of conduct highlights the four major principles: "It's none of my business," "It's none of your business," "Hurry up," and "I want to get off work."

According to Avalon's fine tradition, only those who find it useful should use it to death.

If it weren't for the difficulty of replacing the Privy Council Minister, Mycroft could actually be the Privy Council Minister.

Aiwasster tapped the Camelot minister, just to test his flexibility and confirm his attitude.

——Because according to the original plot, after Avalon was destroyed and Isabel completed the restoration of the country as a government-in-exile, the new flower kingdom was called Camelot.

When Isabel returned to the ruined Avalon and prepared to restore her kingdom, one of the few local families who supported her was the Camelot family.

Aiwass vaguely remembered that Princess Isabel swore to marry the country in a grand ceremony through version 0 of the Theocracy, and gained the powerful power to control nature. She also lost her fertility.

Therefore, the Du Lac family in a narrow sense had already become extinct at that time.

The Camelot family adopted their most talented heir to Isabel as their adopted daughter, and she became the only princess of the Kingdom of Camelot. Aiwass didn't know what happened in the middle, but in the end the Kingdom of Avalon became the Kingdom of Camelot.

When Aiwass first met his history tutor, Professor Budd, he asked about this matter in a roundabout way. But obviously Professor Bard doesn't know this secret...or maybe what he said is right. Galahad, the ancestor of the Camelot family, is indeed not Lancelot's illegitimate son. The Camelot family adopted the heir to Isabel. It's just because the two families are on good terms, and this is just Aiwass's preconception.

——But no matter what, Avalon still turned into Camelot in the end.

This makes Aiwass naturally a little hostile to the Camelot family - maybe they have done nothing wrong now, and that incident happened in the future of another world line that will not happen now, or even they are still There are very few pro-royal factions who are willing to support Isabel even before she shows her ability to restore the country...

But emotionally, Aiwass will still be wary of them.

Now it seems that the old man is indeed a loyal minister.

"There is no need to remain distant from the Minister of Camelot in the future," Aiwass warned. "Of course, you still have to be cautious - you cannot show your true self in front of him. As for Mycroft..."

Aiwass fell into thought.

Isabel suggested: "What is the position of the Deputy Speaker of the Privy Council?"

The President of the Privy Council is the Chancellor of Camelot. The members of the Privy Council are called "advisors" and are mainly responsible for helping the monarch handle political affairs.

Although the Round Table Hall is very similar to the British Parliament, it is essentially different. The biggest difference is that the monarch has real power.

In most cases, the monarch will not participate in the meetings of the Round Table Hall.

After all, there are many idle people in the Round Table Hall. They wish to hold a meeting once a day to discuss some boring bills that have not been passed for more than half a year. How can the queen have the time and energy to quarrel with them every day.

At this time, the Knight of the Round Table Hall, the Grand Arbitrator, or the Grand Justice will carry the Monarch Sword into the Round Table Hall - that is, the dagger hanging on the wall of the Queen's bedroom and the sister sword in Haina's body. And when this sword arrives in the Round Table Hall, it is like the Queen herself.

The Knight of the Round Table Hall of this generation is the Great Guardian. And the Grand Arbitrator is Meg, or Ligeia. Both of them don't like meetings. Sometimes Ligeia will go to listen, but she won't say anything. And when none of them want to go, the Grand Justice will preside over it.

The discussion in the Round Table Hall is just a statement of opinion. All the motions discussed and voted on must be sorted out by the Privy Council's advisers, written in accordance with formal procedures, and finally submitted to the Queen together with the minutes of the meeting and the Privy Council's annotated suggestions. Then the Queen is responsible for signing to confirm or reject the motion.

——The biggest difference is that the monarch has a veto. And it can be used frequently.

From this perspective, the Privy Council can also be understood as the Queen's secretariat. It is equivalent to the cabinet.

If the monarch is also regarded as a political official, the Privy Council is the monarch's affairs officer. The status of the Minister of Camelot is equivalent to that of the Prime Minister, and the status of the Deputy Speaker is equivalent to that of the Deputy Prime Minister. Although he is usually low-key, he is undoubtedly someone who can influence the entire Avalon.

"Yes," Aiwas nodded slowly, "He is absolutely reliable and loyal to you. Ministers are not easy to appoint. After all, one must go down. But affairs officers are easy to serve.

"First of all, remember to dissolve the Privy Council during Queen Sofia's time. Only retain the Speaker, and then transfer Mycroft in. Let him discuss the new Privy Council quota with the Minister of Camelot...

"Then he doesn't have to resign from the position of Lord Chamberlain for the time being, let him do two jobs first. When he finds a successor later, you can try to transfer him to the position of Lord Chamberlain. Or you can keep the position of Lord Chamberlain."

Like the Minister of State, the Lord Chamberlain has not been appointed by three monarchs. Currently, the Lord Chamberlain is responsible for both positions.

As the name suggests, the Lord Chamberlain is the keeper of the State Seal, responsible for keeping the State Seal and drafting and issuing various important government documents and decrees.

"Ah, my majesty..."

Looking at Isabel quietly listening to Aiwass's instructions in the bedroom, Ligeia leaned against the corner of the bedroom and sighed.

That is, Aiwass is trustworthy, otherwise this picture would be weird no matter how you look at it.

And at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out from a painting behind her and gently patted her shoulder.

After Ligeia looked over, the hand made a "come out" gesture.

Ligeia understood and walked out quietly.
