The End of the Earth

Chapter 226 Secretariat

Elf King's City

After Calista returned to the royal court and sat back on the throne of queen, everything might have seemed the same to others.

For her, everything was very different. The forces cultivated by the previous Queen Veronica, known as the Queen's Party, were all eliminated.

It was as if they suddenly disappeared, and all traces of their existence were erased from the Kingdom Archives and databases.

All the colleagues and friends who had contact with them on a daily basis were warned without exception. Some of them were not afraid of death and tried to take some actions, but unfortunately they did not end up well. They either died in an accident or their entire family disappeared.

Soon the surge of this incident was calmed down by an invisible hand.

In the royal court, Calista sat in her familiar office and lit a cigarette.

After waiting for a while, Grand Duke Gulawang came to see her as expected. Calista expected that he would come uninvited.

Gulawang spoke to Calista in a veiled manner about the recent disappearance of some officials and generals.

However, Calista seemed not to be listening. After a long while, as if she came to her senses, she said something that greatly surprised Gulawang.

"I want to revise some of the kingdom's systems and draft new laws. I will establish a new Queen's Secretariat, and from now on, important financial, military, and political matters will be reported directly to the Secretariat.

What does the Grand Duke think?"

Gulawang was so smart that he could understand what Calista meant. She wanted to strengthen her control over the kingdom. In the words of the human world, she wanted to be autocratic, and that meant weakening the power of his Duke's Mansion.

"This matter involves multiple departments and is extensive. We should discuss it in court and listen to the opinions of other officials."

Calista raised her eyebrows at Gulawang, with a look of contempt. Gulawang had never seen Calista look at anyone with such eyes. Elves value etiquette and know when to do things.

This is especially true of Kalista, but today Gurawang was a little confused about this young elf descendant.

Seeing that Calista had no intention of continuing the conversation, Gulawang tactfully left.

The court meeting on the second day on the establishment of the secretariat went surprisingly smoothly. Officials from important departments that originally obeyed the Duke's Palace actually ignored his orders and agreed to the new bill to establish a secretariat.

Gulawang then understood that yesterday's conversation was a trap set by Calista, allowing him to propose that the implementation of the new bill be decided by the court.

This was a show of force after Kalista's return, and it was also a way of telling Gulawang that she still had many cards up her sleeve, and this was just a warning.

Although Calista dislikes the tricks of conspiracy and struggle, she also knows the importance of preparing for a rainy day. It is very foolish to remain neutral in the power struggle. Since she took this position, she has been making plans for various possibilities in the future.

The beginning was difficult, but fortunately everything was progressing. On the surface, she was still that innocent elf. Sometimes self-esteem was a good protective color.

And this is just the beginning of the power struggle between Calista and Gulawang. The influence of the Duke's Palace is too great, and Calista can no longer allow it to expand at will. Gulawang's personal power network has long touched the royal power.

The joy of eliminating the old power, the Queen's Party, made the people in the Duke's Mansion, especially the elven forces supporting Gulawang behind the scenes, go to their heads.

Little did he know that those around him, his superiors, and his right-hand men might turn against him and join Kalista's camp one day.

Because no one would think that a simple elf would have such great ability to do these things.
