Because of the memories from his past life, Aiden had no fondness for the concept of a secret police.
Secret police, also known as political police, were commonly referred to as spies.
The primary duties of these so-called "police" often weren't to uphold the law, but purely to protect central authority. For this purpose, they sometimes acted in ways that contravened national law.
The secret police of the Kingdom of Gistas were no different; with approval from their superiors—the King's personal guard, now known as the Gistas Gendarmerie—they could directly exercise the power of arrest, and with the King's approval, they even had the authority to execute some "special criminals" without trial—in plain terms, a bunch of dirty work inevitably tied to political struggles. Besides domestic issues, they also occasionally carried out espionage and assassination missions abroad.
If Aiden simply wanted to obtain divine words through this channel, he felt there was still some hope.
