Chapter 711 Questioning at the Funeral
In the cathedral of Belloberg, the funeral of the Queen is taking place.
The atmosphere at the scene was sad and depressing. The faces of all those who could attend the funeral were very solemn, and the worry in their eyes made the air in the entire church seem to condense.
Twelve steam knights covered in black gauze were stationed around the altar, and on the altar lay the Queen's body.
She seemed to be asleep, her expression still kind and kind.
It's just that she can no longer wake up, can no longer lead the empire, and can't stop what is about to happen.
In front of the altar, Purficott was wearing a long black dress and a black hat. Her face was obscured by a hanging black gauze. No one could see the sadness on her face at this moment.
Not only lamenting the death of the Queen, but also lamenting the future of the empire and humanity.
The world is obviously doomsday, and everyone is struggling on the verge of death. Why are there still people trying to fight for power at this time?
Is it true that humanity is hopeless and can never unite and strive for good?
Or is it that I made the wrong choice and should not have done so much for human beings? I should have allowed them to go through the wind and snow and grow up in the hardships of disaster?
Purficott had a lot of thoughts in her mind. The Queen's death had a huge impact on her, and she couldn't help but think about why all this happened and where the future of mankind would go.
For Purficott, the threat of wind and snow is not the greatest danger facing humanity.
Thanks to her efforts, humans no longer need to worry about this cold disaster, even though it is only temporary.
What really makes it difficult for mankind to survive this crisis is mankind itself.
This is also the main reason that makes Purficott reflect on herself. Is she so kind to these people that they have no sense of crisis at all?
"How did my mother die?" However, while Purficott was thinking about all this, another woman in black veil sat next to Purficott and asked her sadly.
"Her Majesty the Queen died of illness." Hearing Princess Anne's question, Purficott did not turn to look at her, but said an answer in an indifferent tone that was not a mistake, but was not a correct answer either. answer.
The Queen did die of illness, but her death was closely related to what happened in the past few days.
Both Purficott and Princess Anne knew this very well.
It was also obvious that Purficott's answer was not the answer Princess Anne needed.
"Tell me the truth, little Purficott!" Princess Anne held back her grief and pressed her teeth to Purficott.
However, Purficott's expression remained indifferent: "What truth? What kind of truth do you want to know? Did I kill Her Majesty the Queen because I wanted to seize power? Or was someone trying to seize power and support you on the throne, so I was forced to death? Her Majesty the Queen?”
Purficott finally turned his attention to Princess Anne. Although both of their faces were covered with black gauze, Purphycott's eyes were still looking at Princess Anne's eyes through the black gauze: "But, you You want to hear me say that Her Majesty the Queen is already dead, but she has been holding on to pave the way for you. I had a chance to let her live a few more years, but because of a group of idiots, everything was messed up?”

Purfict's questioning made Princess Anne lose control of her emotions, but she still suppressed her sadness and anger. She gritted her teeth and asked Purfict: "I want to know the truth! I want to know who my mother is." How did you die! For your mother’s sake, tell me!”
Hearing Princess Anne mention her mother, Purficott felt a little unbearable, but still insisted: "Don't ask, Her Majesty the Queen will be sad when she sees you like this. If you really still want it To do something for her, let yourself mature quickly and become a qualified emperor, so that you can comfort her spirit in heaven."
Purficott's words almost directly told Princess Anne the answer, and this news not surprisingly made Princess Anne completely lose control of her emotions.
She cried sadly.
Looking at the crying Princess Anne, Purfict let out a long sigh and raised his arm to put it on her shoulders to comfort her, but then put it down.
She knew that Princess Anne needed comfort now, but she still had to harden her heart, stood up and said: "Cry, you can only cry now. After today, please take your responsibility and be a qualified person." The Queen!
If you can't do it, then just don't do anything and just be a puppet and a marionette. Anyway, I promised Her Majesty the Queen not to hurt you. ”
After saying that, Purfict turned around and left the church without waiting for Princess Anne's reaction.
At this time, the guards around the church have all been replaced by White Bear Knights and Iron Fire Knights. As for the original guard knights, more than one-third of the knights were executed because they participated in the previous coup, and the remaining knights are now also executed. Disarmed and taken into custody.
It was impossible for them to return to their original positions until their suspicions were cleared.
Even if they are freed from the suspicion of betrayal, even the knights of the guard are no longer trustworthy with the stain of betrayal.

In other words, precisely because they are guard knights, they cannot be disloyal in the slightest.
Purficott had no intention of delving into why the knights of the guard who had always been loyal to the royal family suddenly had one-third of the knights involved in the coup, let alone whether they were innocent.
All she knew was that this knighthood was no longer trustworthy.
Now, all the original work of the guard knights has been taken over by the White Bear Knight, and all the wake work in the church is taken care of by the Iron Fire Knights.
When Purficott stepped out of the church, the surrounding white bear knights immediately escorted her and followed her away.
Although too many people have died and enough blood has been shed in this coup, Purficott clearly knows that this matter is not over and there is still more blood to be shed.
This is not because she is bloodthirsty, nor is she seeking political persecution to eliminate dissidents, but that some people have to be eliminated.
Her Majesty the Queen used her life to set up this trap and gave Purficott the opportunity to clean up Victoria's political scene. She would not and could not let go of such a precious opportunity.
After all, no queen will make another self-sacrifice in a short time, thinking that she will create an opportunity to cleanse those insects.
Before boarding the departing carriage, the church bell rang just right. Purficott looked back at the church, with the last trace of hesitation in his eyes, but it eventually turned into determination.
