Chapter 693 No Visitor
"Miss, the Duke of Gloucester wants to see you." Foster knocked on Perfectcott's door and asked her for instructions, but his face was full of worry.
Since Purficott announced his retirement, people from all walks of life have come to see her like crazy, hoping to understand why she did this and begging Purficott to take back the decision.
After all, this has a huge impact on the entire Northern Territory, and even the entire Victoria.
However, Purficott didn't see anyone. She didn't even bother to deal with it and refused to see anyone.
This move undoubtedly increased the panic, so the number of people who came to see Perficott also increased in number. For example, it was the secretary of the Duke of Gloucester who came at first, but now it is him himself.
Not only that, besides the Duke, there were other people who also asked to see Perficott at the same time.
But Purficott's attitude did not change because of the visitor's identity: "No, let them not bother me!"
"Miss, I think you are the most It would be better to meet them! In addition to the Duke of Gloucester, Deputy Prime Minister Kafka and the special envoy sent by the royal family are also here, and the military department has also sent a navy lieutenant general and an army lieutenant general..." Foster also I want to persuade Purficott, after all, this big group of people is almost ready to hold a cabinet meeting.
However, Purficott’s attitude was very firm and he didn’t even open the door: “Let them go. If they want freedom, I will give them freedom. If they want democracy, I will give them democracy. If they are against my dictatorship, I resigned, what else do they want? Tell them to get out of here!”
Hearing this answer, which was exactly the same as before, helplessness appeared on the old housekeeper's face.
He didn’t say anything else, just turned around and went downstairs, came to the crowd of people who had been waiting for a long time and sighed: "The lady doesn't want to see you, and... she may not be in the room at all."
"What? Mr. Foster, are you saying that Earl Brandless is not here now?" A military officer had a surprised look on his face.
"This is not surprising. I went up three times, and the lady's answer was the same every time. Even her tone did not change. It should be a pre-prepared recording." Foster explained, Then he said helplessly: "So everyone, please come back, no matter how small "Mr. Foster, can't you go in and see if the countess is here?" Kallen stood up and asked Foster. : "You should have the key to the countess's room, right?"
Although she knew it was not a good idea to do so, the entire country was in turmoil because of Purficott's decision, so Kallen had no choice but to make this move.
"Although it is possible, I guess there is no point in doing so." The old housekeeper shook his head.
Of course he has the key, and he clearly knows that Purficott did not lock the door, but so what?
He is Purficott's housekeeper. She does not want to see these people, so as a housekeeper, her will must be the premise, not other considerations.
Especially the old housekeeper witnessed with his own eyes the hard work that Perfectcott had gone through over the years and everything she had endured. From the bottom of his heart, he felt sorry for Perfectcott who he had watched grow up, and hoped that she could She does not have to bear these responsibilities that should not be borne by her.
But the empire is in turmoil and the world is facing disaster. Only Perficot has the ability to save the world.
So no matter how reluctant the old butler was to give up, he could only watch Perficott charge forward alone to protect the entire empire. Now that Purficott has chosen to give up her job, although the old housekeeper is puzzled and thinks that she may not be doing it properly, he is also thankful that Purficott finally no longer has to be entangled with these troubles.
Faced with the old butler's subtextual rejection, the Duke of Gloucester took the initiative to stop the others, stood up and said to Foster: "Since Earl Brandlis is not willing We're seeing guests, so let's take our leave first.
But please tell your lordship that the empire needs her and the people also need her! No matter what dissatisfaction and request she has, we will listen carefully and satisfy her as much as possible, so please take the time after she is relieved. At first sight.”
"I will tell the lady." Foster could not make any guarantee, so he could only answer this at this time.
The Duke of Gloucester didn't say anything. Although he was slightly disappointed, he politely said goodbye and left with the others.
After sending everyone away, Foster came to Perfectcott's door again, knocked on the door and said: "Miss, they have left."
And this There was silence inside the door, and no one answered.
Foster hesitated for a moment, then turned the doorknob and walked in.
Even if Purficott didn't want to see guests, she should have something to eat, but the old housekeeper was still worried about her health.
However, when Foster opened the door, all he saw was a phonograph device placed on the desk, and there was no figure of Perfectcott in the room at all.
The old housekeeper shook his head helplessly, but a look of pity appeared on his face as he watched his naughty granddaughter misbehave.
In his opinion, at this age, Purficott should do things that only little girls do. It is suitable for her age to have tantrums, run away from home and so on.
As for national events? There are so many nobles and bureaucrats in the empire, can’t they do it?
All pointing to a teenage girl saving the world and the country?
Good upbringing and personal quality prevented the old butler from saying any bad words, but he supported Perfectcott in doing so.
Especially, Purficott also left a note on the table, which read in beautiful cursive characters: "I went out to play, help me deal with them, please Grandpa Afu !”
Seeing this note, Foster showed a smile that was mixed with a bit of helplessness, but more of a smile. He put away the note and checked the phonograph again to confirm. After there was no problem with it, he left the room and locked the door again.
Since Purfict asked him to deal with those people seeking an audience, the loyal old housekeeper would naturally carry out Purfict's orders and not let anyone disturb her.
"In order to create the illusion that the lady is still here, it seems that we have to prepare some food for the lady." The old housekeeper already regretted telling the Duke of Gloucester that Perfectcott was not at home, but it was harmless.
“Although I don’t know what the young lady wants to do, since it is the young lady’s decision, it must have her reasons. She has worked hard for so long and it’s time to take a good rest.” The old housekeeper’s eyes gradually became firm. , made it clear what to do.
As for the turmoil in the empire? If the country cannot change without the huge Victoya as a teenage girl, then there will be no hope for this country.
