Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 168 A woman’s kindness

"I'm sorry, little Purficott, it was me who neglected my discipline." Facing the harassed Purficott, the Queen took the lead in expressing her apology: "Don't worry, I will warn him later. I hope this It won’t cause you any trouble.”

The queen also felt helpless about her son. She had not trained this son when he was a child, but he was too naughty.

Especially after he became an adult, he became addicted to 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 there were still some conservatives who opposed Princess Anne's succession because of her gender, they did not insist on Justinian. Dinny succeeded to the throne.

These conservatives are more interested in the other male heir of the royal family, Prince Edward, who 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 oppose Prince Edward's succession. Coupled with the wishes of the old emperor himself, the throne was passed to the current queen.

Purficott 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 had it been before, there was still such a boring drama as seizing the heir.

What mankind needs 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.

Although he felt helpless about this, Purficott still said to the Queen: "I can regard this as a misunderstanding, but what Duke Windsor just said to me seems to have mentioned some strange information. He tried to Use the threat of Church Inquisition to control me and gain 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 meaning of Purficott's words. She nodded with a serious expression, and then promised: "Don't worry, Purficott, 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 is the case."

"Anne, please stay with little Purfict for a while." After hearing Purfict's answer, the Queen nodded and turned away, leaving Princess Anne behind to appease Purfict's emotions.

"I'm sorry, Little Purficott, I didn't expect that my brother would actually find you." Princess Anne's face was full of apologies, and her attitude was much more sincere than the Queen just now: "Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with you, otherwise I really don’t know how to explain it 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 her 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 face of the royal family and related public opinion in some aspects. Influence.

Purficott looked at Princess Anne who looked worried in front of her, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Aunt Anne, although I am very happy that my elder relative is a humane person, but for the current situation and the entire empire, Say, you lack a lot.

Whether it's determination or skill, you are so kind! This doesn't matter in normal times, but now we are facing the end of the world. A woman's kindness will only harm yourself and the entire empire. "

Purficott was very touched by Princess Anne's concern for herself. After all, she had lost almost all her relatives in this world, and it was difficult for her to feel the warmth of family affection again.

But if personal feelings are put aside, Purficott feels that Princess Anne does lack a lot.

She gives the impression that she is 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 still a princess after all, and the empire was one of the most powerful countries in the world. She still It is also easy to understand that the feelings are relatively pure.

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 say such a thing after what 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, Purficott said: " I am the strongest alchemist in the empire, Aunt Anne, do you think he can really pose a threat to me?"
