Chapter 374 Post-event Handling
The killing lasted for several hours, and the entire venue of the Noble Council was almost covered in blood. So when Purficott finally walked out of the venue, her shoes were soaked with blood. Every step left a bright red bloody footprint.
But she had no idea of changing her shoes or avoiding it at that time. Instead, she silently allowed the blood to cover her feet and soak into her shoes.
Perfect doesn’t have any special hobbies, it’s just to remind herself that she killed so many people today.
Although the deaths of these nobles were just a result of her venting her anger, and they did have their own ways of dying, every life should be respected, even if they were just a group of pigs.
After killing them, they should be remembered, because every one of them died because of her.
If Purficott forgets this, or neglects the responsibility of killing a person, it means that she has lost her reverence for life as a person.
The possible consequences of that are very serious. After all, Purficott is the lord of the north and the strongest alchemist in the empire. She can easily kill countless lives if she is willing.
Once things develop to that extent, I am afraid that the world will be destroyed by her before it is destroyed in the apocalypse.
So in order to avoid this happening, Purficott must force herself to remember how many people she killed today, who they were, and why they died.
According to subsequent statistics, a total of ninety-two nobles were massacred by Purficott, including seven counts, twelve viscounts, twenty-six barons, and a total of forty-seven other nobles such as knights or barons. people.
Except for the old nobleman who committed suicide, a total of ninety-one people were killed by her knights under her orders.
They were massacred because they hindered Perficott from saving the world, and everyone had a way to die.
Perfect also watched each of them being killed in front of him, and they paid the price for the mistakes they made with their lives.
Things will end here, the empire will not reveal the true cause of their deaths, and their families will not be implicated.
Through this killing, Purficott also formally established her influence and deterrence in the empire, and officially digested the connections and political assets left to her by the old prince into her own.
Just kidding, even the old prince himself would not be able to massacre the noble council and still have nothing to do.
Under such circumstances, the entire Langton and even the entire empire have understood what kind of status Perficott has in the empire and what kind of privileges she enjoys.
That said, even the northern lords cannot massacre the noble council without paying a small price.
This also made everyone speculate about what kind of specialness this Northern Earl had, so that she could massacre the noble council without having to pay any responsibility afterwards.
Those were nearly a hundred noble members, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the seats in the entire Noble Council. To be slaughtered like this would have a huge impact on the Noble Council itself.
At least the Duke of Gloucester must find a way to select suitable nobles to fill the seats, so that the number of MPs can be restored to at least half of the original number. After all, according to the laws of the empire, the noble parliament must maintain this number of members. Otherwise, he, the speaker, will have no choice but to dissolve the parliament and then elect a new speaker to reorganize the parliament.
Of course, none of the truly important members of the Parliament of Nobles participated in the impeachment of Purficott.
After all, they each have their own channels. Even if they don’t know about the Doomsday Crisis, they can still understand that Perficott is very important to the entire empire, and she also holds great power. , no important noble councilor is willing to offend this imperial minister for a trivial matter.
Yes, Purficott is now a well-deserved official of the empire. Otherwise, how can we explain her behavior of massacring the noble council?
On the streets of Longton, Purficott's behavior was interpreted as excluding dissidents.
She had no idea about this, and she didn't mind others saying this, because the massacre could indeed be explained from another angle as her excluding dissenters.
It’s just different from what most people think. She excludes dissidents not to seize power at the center of the empire, but just to save the country.
In fact, if Perficott really wanted power, both the Duke of Gloucester and Princess Anne would spare no effort to support her. After all, she could really save the empire.
If there were doubts about this matter before, it would have been impossible for the Duke of Gloucester and Princess Anne to delegate such power to Purphycott a year or two ago. But now that there is only one year left before the end of the world, Purphycott Kurt has proven herself right and her ability to transcend the mundane.
Under such circumstances, Princess Anne wished that someone could take power for her, and then concentrate all the power of the empire to deal with the doomsday.
She was really exhausted physically and mentally by the endless entertainment and meetings. If it weren't for the constraints and restrictions of her identity, she might have learned from Perficott and drawn her sword against the Parliament of Nobles.
As the eldest princess who has now begun to rule, Anne fully understands how indifferent the members of the aristocratic parliament are and how damn worthy they are.
Even if the Duke of Gloucester immediately selected a group of imperial nobles he believed to be loyal and hard-working to fill the vacancies in the number of MPs, these newly added noble MPs still had the same regard for Anne as before. Any claims made by the princess are nitpicking.
Even though Princess Anne can understand that this is their duty and that they need to exercise their power through this behavior, this does not prevent her from being really upset.
Faced with this situation, the Duke of Gloucester could only pray that there were no fools or lunatics among these noble members.
Otherwise, it would be okay to offend Princess Anne. If she provoked Perfectcott, he would not be in the mood to let her massacre the noble council again.
If that kind of thing really happens, then the noble council will not need any face in the future, because they have actually become a punching bag used to kill people.
The Duke of Gloucester does not want things to develop to this point. Even from the current point of view, even if Perficott does not massacre the noble council again, Princess Anne can still do it after she has already done it once. How long to endure the noble council is not a question that needs to be discussed.
