'theres no havoc to

wreak... the air of secrecy

ought to lie discreet'

privy council is like.. 'a body that advises a head of state, typically, but not always, in the context of a monarchical government. The term "privy" (from French privé) signifies private or secret. Consequently, a privy council, more common in the past, existed as a group of a ruling monarch's most trusted court advisors. Its purpose was to consistently provide confidential advice on matters of state' (per wikipedia)
