281 THE THREE STORMS 4 (1/2)

Simply because they nark on a person and the association between spies and assassins when their jobs were entirely different

But it is true, that spies usually consorted with assassin. Assassins needs information to made their kill and sometimes spies need someone to be killed

There is also the fact that many of the secret societies all over the continent uses spies and as such for those high society they regarded spies as rats and they should not have consorted with such people.

Aero and many others that come from Western Heaven did not deny that spies nark on people. That is their job.

The only thing that should worry them was to whom the spies' narc on.

Thus, it was important at that time for Aero to create an organization that would surveil the enemies' movement and the internal unrest of the Empire.

It is because of this that the other people inside the court become apprehensive.

When Aero spoke of internal affairs, then it also means, that this new organization would also conduct their works inside the Empire and not only outside of it.

Edward and James for the first time since Edward took the throne agreed with his older brother and rejected the proposal.

But Edward and James objection was not so much because of that aspect.

They objected it because if such surveillance department was created, it will still fall under the jurisdiction of the Six Council.

And Aero holds the Six Council basically making those spies effectively his and with the organization, he would hold all the information of the Empire.

Even though Edward and James rejected the proposal, Aero is not someone that anyone could reject.

He once again proposes the same proposal to the Emperor.

And Edward while he was brave the first time, he knows he could not push the Chancellor to much or else he would lose the only ally he had in the Imperial Palace.

So, the proposal is once again reviewed. Aero then started convincing the scholars and the military factions.

the scholars and the military faction was convinced of Aero argument.

Aero advertises the frightful misery and vast expenditure of blood and treasure which war always brings in its train.

The scholars have always abhorred war and the military side knows the difficulty of gathering supplies during wartime especially fi they are deep in enemy territory.

Thus, it is very important to end the war early. But they still hesitated until Aero convince everyone of a simple fact of war

If you are not kept informed of the enemy's condition, and are ready to strike at the right moment, a war may drag on for years.

The right information could win them a war

And how does one get information?
