That was right; it was his aunt Lucía. She came to André after he eliminated the traitors of the viscounty.
At that moment, André had been devising an intelligence office, and she arrived to offer him her services together with an already advanced group of agents.
It seems she created it for her son, who died under the conspiracies of the traitors. André was delighted and received her with open arms. Then he provided her with an advanced method of agent selection, information gathering, and infiltration methods.
Combining all of this with the great talent of his aunt Lucía, and with a generous budget, the organization grew at an accelerated rate.
Now they were beginning to infiltrate the marginal neighborhoods of Green City, the royal capital. It should be mentioned that André named the organization CIA (Central Intelligence Agency), "very original."
"I need a budget increase," Lucía said with a playful smile.
"Come on, tell me how much it is about." André answered with a face of resignation. This was one of the departments that burned the most money in the viscounty.
"Ten thousand gold coins," Lucía said without fluctuations on her face.
"Wow, that is a lot! You know that Mario is pressuring me to lower the expenses that are too elevated. If I tell him there will be such a large one-time expense, he will want to know what it will be used for." André said with a smile.
"Ten thousand annually," Lucía spoke again. André's face turned pale: this would suppose a great burden for the viscounty.
"Tell me what it is about," André asked.
"My plan is to build a super elite scientific research school. We will use the astronomy knowledge you have to absorb the elites of the nobility from the entire world. Thus we will be able to infiltrate wherever you need.
We will begin with Green City. The coins will be necessary for the dissemination of the reputation, which will burn a great deal of money," Lucía explained.
André was very surprised. His aunt's talent was terrifying. This was a brilliant plan: the infiltration capacity of the agency would expand enormously with this plan.
Another brilliant point was the creation of an astronomical research group. André had ordered several telescopes made for personal use. In his previous life he was an astronomy enthusiast, and he was very happy to see how the first astronomical organization was being created in this world.
In addition, once his kingdom was formed, this would be one of the brilliant points that would grant him great reputation around the world.
"Very well, I approve your plan. I am going to ask you: if the budget is expanded, is it possible to accelerate the dissemination according to your plans?"
"Of course yes. In my plans, the speed of dissemination is only limited by the budget," Lucía answered with pride.
"Then tell me your ideal budget so that the dissemination is capable of irradiating the greater part of the continent in five years."
André's question left Lucía stunned; she immediately calmed herself and thought for a moment.
"I believe it would be more or less three times the current budget," she said after calculating it.
"Very well, I will approve a budget of 30,000 gold coins. I believe I am going to be scolded by Mario this time." André smiled and approved Lucía's budget.
"I swear that I will not disappoint your expectations on that matter. Await it with eagerness."
"I hope so. By the way, have you decided a name for this organization?" André asked her suddenly.
"Of course not. I knew it was not our turn when it came to deciding the name." Lucía was not surprised by the question. She was aware that André had a taste for naming the organizations under his command.
"Hehehehe." André smiled a little embarrassed.
"Heh, come on boss, I am waiting. Let's see what name you will give this new organization." Lucía mocked him a little. She knew he was not a strict boss with his subordinates.
"We will name this organization NASA."
The acronym "NASA" refers to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which in Spanish translates as Administración Nacional de Aeronáutica y del Espacio. NASA is the space agency of the United States, charged with space research and exploration.
"NASA… what a strange name you have given it." Lucía was a little disappointed; she expected a better name.
"You will not understand even if I explain it to you. Within many years you will think of the great foresight I had in giving it that name." André moved a little away from her.
Lucía was not convinced, but André did not plan to continue with this subject. Then he took a document from his desk, signed it, and handed it to her.
"Go with Mario and with that he will approve your budget increase."
"You should do this. I cannot stand Mario's strange look every time you approve the budget. And this agency is supposed to be secret." Lucía said this and looked at André waiting for his answer.
"Don't worry; I trust Mario a great deal. These transactions are not reflected in the books of the viscounty." André said very seriously.
"Now I understand the reason for his strange look every time." Lucía smiled.
"Now let's talk. How have you investigated what I entrusted to you?" André put on a serious face and changed the subject of the conversation.
"You know that we still have not infiltrated the high spheres of Green City. But according to our investigations, in the house of Duke Bloom there have been great movements recently." Lucía also became serious and said what they had found out in this time.
"Who is Duke Bloom?"
"Duke Bloom is the brother-in-law of the current king of the Kingdom of Antares. The current queen of the Kingdom of Antares is his younger sister. The maiden name of the queen was Marissa Bloom. It must be said that Duke Bloom was the greatest sponsor of the current king on his path to the throne." Lucía reported the intelligence obtained.
"It seems that this future enemy will not be easy at all. But it does not change my plans much, since among them was a confrontation with the royal family." André analyzed his situation a little. He realized that his plans would not change much and relaxed a little.
"Very well, continue investigating more about that matter. You may withdraw."
"Then, with permission."
