Chapter 168: A Woman’s Kindness
“Sorry, little Purficott, it was me who neglected my discipline.” Facing the harassed Purficott, the Queen took the lead in expressing her apology to her: “Please don’t worry. , I will warn him later, and I hope this matter will not cause any trouble to you."
The queen also felt helpless about her son. It was not like she had not trained this son when he was a child, but she could not help him. It's really too naughty.
Especially after he became an adult, he became obsessed with women and caused things that were extremely embarrassing to the royal family.
If the Queen hadn't suppressed it with an iron fist, I'm afraid the royal family would have been able to change the heir.
In fact, it was precisely because of that incident that the Queen gave up the idea of cultivating Justinian and instead placed her hope on Princess Anne.
It was precisely because of Justinian's unbearable condition that the senior officials of the Victoria Empire basically gave up on him. Although some conservatives still opposed Princess Anne's succession because of her gender, they also There was no insistence that Justinian succeed to the throne.
These conservatives are more interested in Prince Edward, another male heir of the royal family. He is the nephew of the previous king, Princess Anne and the uncle of Justinian.
Because the previous emperor only had one daughter, the queen, there were many people who supported the prince's succession.
It’s just that the prince fell in love with a widow from the New World colony, and even gave up his right to inherit the throne for this.
The inheritance law of the Victoria Empire stipulates that members of the royal family can only marry church members who believe in the All-Father, and the widow is not a believer in the church.
This alone made the church firmly stand against Prince Edward's succession. Coupled with the old emperor's own wishes, the throne was passed to the current queen.
Perficott didn't know much about these things, but she could still keenly sense that she seemed to be involved in the issue of the change of imperial power in the royal family.
This made Purficott feel particularly speechless. How long has it been, and there is still such a boring drama as seizing the heir.
What mankind will have to face in the future is an extremely cold doomsday, and what is needed is an iron-fisted leader and a voice of absolute authority!
The only person who meets this requirement is the Queen herself, who has sat on the throne for decades. Even Princess Anne lacks prestige and iron-bloodedness in this regard.
Thinking of this, Purficott even regretted why he didn't just kill Justinian when he was teasing him in his words, so as to solve the problem once and for all.
Under the current situation, the Victoria Empire has no energy to engage in internal power struggles.
Is it really a luxury for humans to remain rational? There was a faint red light flashing in Purficott's red eyes.
However, although he felt helpless about this, Purficott still said to the Queen: "I can regard this as a misunderstanding, but there seems to be something mentioned in what Duke Windsor just said to me. Strange message, he was trying to control me with the threat of Church Inquisition to gain access to the technology in my hands
I'm not sure whether this is the will of Duke Windsor himself or the thoughts of some forces behind him, but as the northern guardian of the empire, I don't want anything unpleasant to happen with the royal family, especially When my personal safety is at risk. "The Queen understood the implication of Purfict's words. She nodded with a serious expression, and then promised: "Don't worry Purfict, I will have him sent to the manor in Shake County later. You will not Will see him again at Longton. "
Although this was not the result he wanted, Purficott reluctantly nodded: "It would be great if this was the case. "
"Annie, you stay with little Purficott. "The Queen heard Purphycott's answer, nodded and turned around to leave, leaving Princess Anne to appease Purphycott's emotions.
"Sorry little Purphycott, I didn't expect that. My brother actually came to you. Princess Anne's face was full of apologies, and her attitude was much more sincere than that of the Queen just now: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with you, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to your mother!" ”
Treating the only daughter of her best friend, Princess Anne really treated Perfectcott as her own daughter.
But on the other side is his biological brother. Although the relationship between siblings cannot be said to be bad, they can still be regarded as strangers. Princess Anne still has to worry about the royal family in some aspects. Face, and related influence on public opinion.
Perfect looked at Princess Anne who looked worried in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Anne, although I am very happy that my elder relative is a person full of humaneness, but for The current situation and the entire empire are lacking a lot.
Whether it is determination or skill, you are too kind! This does not matter in normal times, but now we are facing the end, woman. Being kind will only harm yourself and the entire empire.”
Perfect was very touched by Princess Anne’s concern for herself. After all, she has lost almost everything in this world. As a relative, it is difficult for her to feel the warmth of family affection.
But if personal feelings are put aside, Purficott feels that Princess Anne does lack a lot.
She feels like the kind of majestic and upright female knight who has never experienced social beatings and lives in knight novels.
This may be related to her experience. After all, as the eldest princess of the royal family, she joined the army and went to the front line as an adult. Although she had experienced the war, she was a princess after all, and the empire was the most powerful in the world. One of the countries, it is easy to understand that she still maintains relatively innocent feelings.
If it were a time of peace, given the strength of the empire, a benevolent monarch like her would be very popular with the people. After all, who doesn’t want the emperor to be a monarch who can understand the sentiments of the people and care about the lives and deaths of the people at the bottom?
But at the end of the world, the leader of the empire must be an iron-blooded, dictatorial, and even cruel tyrant.
Now that the apocalyptic winter will usher in only two years, not only the empire, but also all human beings do not have the error tolerance to be indecisive, or the kindness of women.
"Little Purficott, why did you say that?" Princess Anne was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Purficott would actually say such words after such a thing happened.
However, Purficott just shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the decorative armor placed aside, and then activated alchemy.
An invisible air cannon instantly hit the breastplate of the armor, making a hole as big as a fist and punching through the wall. After a hole as big as a plate was made in the wall, Perfico Te then said: "I am the strongest alchemist in the empire, Aunt Anne, do you think he can really pose a threat to me?"
