Chapter 493 Before the Appearance
As night gradually fell, guests from all walks of life began to arrive at the banquet venue one after another.
Because it is held in a hotel, some guests of sufficient weight can naturally check into the hotel in advance. They do not need to arrive at the venue from other places like others, and accordingly do not need to enter so early.
This is actually a very delicate matter, because for people with insufficient status, they need to enter in advance to seize this opportunity to build relationships with other people, and their status does not allow them to suppress On time or late.
But for guests with sufficient status, only after most of the guests have arrived can they enter the venue under the spotlight to show their status.
At this banquet, the most important guests were undoubtedly Queen Victoria herself and her heir Princess Anne.
Because of this, Purficott was staying with these two distinguished guests in the hotel's luxurious suite, chatting about some daily topics, and accepting the maid's teasing.
Don’t get me wrong, I just put her into the clothes she will wear tonight and piled as many expensive jewelry on her body as possible.
The heap here is not an exaggeration, but just a realistic description.
At this time, Purficott had a necklace made of more than a thousand diamonds and seventeen pigeon egg-sized rubies hanging around his neck. He also wore a similar necklace on his hand. It is better to say that it is a bracelet than a decoration for gloves.
Her clothes were also dotted with a large number of jewelry, making her whole person shine brightly under the light.
Even the hem of the floor-length skirt she was wearing was inlaid with an astonishing number of rubies, making the entire skirt look like a burning flame.
If Purficott hadn't been unwilling, she would have had at least two strings of ruby earrings hung on her earlobes.
According to Purficott's speculation, the jewelry she has on her today is enough to empty a gem mine and have more than enough.
After all, so many large rubies cannot be found in an ordinary gem mine. Some of the rubies on her body came from the inheritance of Prince Edward, some were royal jewels, and the rest came from the three Langtons. Donations from top jewelers.
In other words, except for Purficott, it is probably very difficult for anyone in the world to collect at least hundreds of rubies that are larger than the size of a thumb.
Compared with the very simple-looking crown she wore on her head, with only a few gems inlaid in it, and even the inlaid gems that were not polished to create edges, these jewels seemed Overshadowed.
It’s not that this crown is more valuable than her jewelry, but the historical value of this crown is extraordinary.
It was a crown made by the first founding monarch of the Victoria Empire for his wife. It was limited by the craftsmanship of that era and the financial resources of Victoria at that time, so it seemed very simple.
But since the founding of Victoria, kings and queens of all generations have worn this crown when they got married, and the princesses of the royal family are also proud to wear this crown when they come of age.
Even the queen herself used this crown in her coronation ceremony.
Of course, the queen officially wore the crown that symbolized royal power during the coronation ceremony, not this one, but it is enough to prove the extraordinary significance of this crown.
In a sense, it can even be called transgression when Purficott wears her.
After all, although she theoretically has the right to inherit the throne, it is only a political asset left to her by Prince Edward. In essence, there is no possibility of inheriting the throne. As for this crown, only Queen Victoria and royal princesses in the past are qualified to wear it. Even royal princesses are not qualified for everyone. Queens can only take out this crown when attending major celebrations.
Purficott was able to wear it at his coming-of-age ceremony, and the political signal it sent was astonishing.
If Purphycott had not clearly had any blood relationship with the royal family, I am afraid that some nefarious people would have speculated whether she was the illegitimate daughter of Princess Anne and the next heir to the throne designated by the royal family.
Although there were indeed similar discussions within the royal family, after all, Princess Anne did almost adopt Perfectcott.
But the Queen explained it to Purfict when she took out the crown just now. This only showed the royal family's support for Purfict and had no other meaning.
Such words...Perfect felt that no matter who knew the meaning of this crown, it would be impossible for him to regard it as having no other meaning.
But she didn't care much about it. After all, this was a good thing for her, and she actually didn't care much about it.
And to put it bluntly, after tonight, if she really means this, the Queen may really consider including her in the list of heirs.
After all, the God-killing Armor is ready.
Of course, to put it another way, with everything Perficott has mastered now, if she announced that she wanted to get a crown at today’s banquet, there might be some old world The little royal family is willing to trade the crown for the survival of their family.
As for that country, this country may not reject Purficott's rule.
If Purficott wants to be the king, she must have citizens in this country to rule her, right? In exchange for a crown, the entire country can survive the disaster. I am afraid that those small countries in the old world that are unable to withstand the apocalyptic winter will flock to this.
After all, a crown is just another person ruling oneself. Does this mean anything to the people at the bottom?
Compared with being able to survive this doomsday disaster, Purficott felt that most people would not mind changing to a king who could truly save themselves.
But for Purficott, this is really not attractive. After all, with her current power, saying that she is a king is just short of a crown.
"Don't tighten it so tightly. I'm a little out of breath." Purficott stopped the maid who was dressing her from tightening her waist, and signaled to relax a little before letting her go. The maid tied the laces of the skirt.
Princess Anne on the side couldn't help but laugh at this: "That's you, little Purficott. If it were someone else, your ribs would be broken today."
"It's not that exaggerated, girl's The waist is very slender." Her Majesty the Queen also interjected at this time. If it were anyone else, she would definitely not allow Perficott to loosen her skirt just now, but for Perficott, she would not do it. You can wear pants.
"Okay, let's get ready to go out." Purficott showed a perfect smile.
