Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 25 Agent James

But for this kind of extravagant behavior, Purficott couldn't help but frown, and then asked a soul question: "Aunt Anne, do you know how many clothes you have?"

"Uh... it can probably fill two warehouses? It's a small amount. Apart from royal purchases, I basically haven't bought any new clothes in recent years." Princess Anne thought for a moment and said a slightly outrageous question. Answer.

In this regard, Purficott could only lament the luxury of the royal family, and couldn't help but said to Princess Anne: "Then those clothes that you don't wear, Aunt Anne, are just kept in the warehouse? Just like this one on me. The same thing as clothes, even if you can no longer wear them?"

"What do you want to say, little Purphycott? Just say what you have to say, it doesn't matter." Princess Anne saw that Purphycott seemed to have a hidden meaning, so she put down the knife and fork in her hand and held her hand with one hand. He cupped his cheek and signaled Purfict to speak directly.

Purficott organized his words a little, and then said: "I think Aunt Anne, you can put up those clothes that have been stored for at least three to five years for auction. As the eldest princess, these clothes must be used." Even if the trend has passed, these clothes will still be popular with the royal name.

Although I don’t know what price these clothes can be sold for, I think they should be able to raise a considerable amount of money. It would be better if we could call on other noble ladies or ask Her Majesty the Queen to donate some old clothes.

We can use this money to improve the environment in the slums of Longton City and build some hospitals, schools and canteens.

This could even be turned into a long-term project, which would both dispose of the royal family's long-standing backlog of old clothes and actually do something for ordinary people in Longton. "

Having said this, Purficott showed a slightly regretful expression on his face: "Unfortunately, the doomsday disaster is coming, and it is no longer possible to do this for a long time."

"Why is it impossible?" Princess Anne was obviously very interested in this. She said enthusiastically: "According to your plan, the empire will establish a sanctuary in the New World. Don't you think that those nobles will have a hard time in the sanctuary? A simple life, right? There will always be someone who needs help! We can do something within our ability..."

Just as Princess Anne was talking enthusiastically, her housekeeper came to report that a guest had arrived, interrupting the conversation between Princess Anne and Perfectcott.

"Mr. James, has anyone ever told you that it is rude to disturb two ladies from their meal?" He looked at the man standing in front of him, still wearing a cheap and ill-fitting rental suit, with a look that seemed like indulgence on his face. Purficott instinctively expressed his disgust at the overly tired James.

"I'm really sorry. I'm used to staying in the New World. Please forgive me if I've offended you." James faced Purfico's accusations and disgust. Although a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, he still treated Purfico. Te persisted and said: "The Duke of Gloucester heard that you intend to go to the New World for inspection. Considering that I have some life experience in the New World, I have specially ordered you to come at your request.

In addition, His Excellency the Duke also specifically asked me to convey his apology to you on his behalf. Regarding the invitation to join the Crisis Response Committee, His Excellency the Duke has received too many constraints and has been unable to bring your talents into full play. He feels extremely sad. Feel sorry. "

Listening to this apology, Purficott couldn't help but feel helpless, and at the same time he felt angry rising in his heart.

We have reached the critical moment of the end, and those stubborn old guys still cling to the old ways, not only wasting her time, but also dragging the entire world into the abyss. But Purficott still suppressed his anger, and just said to James with a cold face: "I have received the apology from the Duke of Gloucester. Say hello to the Duke for me. If you have nothing else, please step aside for the time being. I We still have a meal with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As for you? I have no interest in playboys, and I don’t want to be surrounded by a guy with an immoral private life. This will cause serious damage to my reputation.

I have enough to worry about and don't want to waste my energy on idle gossip. "

Being given such a cold response by Purficott, even with James's shamelessness, he felt a little embarrassed at the moment and didn't know how to deal with it.

Although he is indeed a playboy in a sense, and he usually gets scolded even worse when he talks to girls, but when he comes to scold him in such a hurry, he can't make any rebuttal, let alone turn around. The scene of leaving still made James feel at a loss.

Fortunately, at this time, Princess Anne spoke up to help him out: "Okay, little Purficott, please be more tolerant! This poor gentleman is about to be embarrassed by what you said."

After saying that, Princess Anne turned her attention to James, or rather to a unique brooch pinned to his chest, and then waved her hand to signal the maids on the side to leave.

Although maid dolls are also placed in Windsor Castle, in compliance with the long-standing tradition of the royal family, normal human maids are still served daily in the castle.

Compared with the dolls made by alchemy, even the maids specially trained by the royal family still have the possibility of leaking secrets when confidential matters are involved, so Princess Anne asked them to step aside.

And this is one of the reasons why Purficott's alchemy doll became so popular in Langton's upper class as soon as it was launched. After all, nothing can keep a secret better than a speechless and lifeless doll.

Seeing the eldest princess asking the maid to step back, a trace of confusion appeared on Purficott's face. She looked at the eldest princess Anne, waiting for her explanation.

"You should be from Intelligence 6, right? When will the Duke of Gloucester mobilize people from the Intelligence Bureau?" Princess Anne looked at James. Although her expression was lazy, her eyes were already showing sharpness. .

James hurriedly explained: "I am an intelligence officer stationed in the New World by Intelligence Six. I am mainly responsible for collecting relevant information about the independent elements in the New World. The scientific expedition work in the New World that the Bellona was responsible for previously attracted the attention of the independent elements, so I Sent to provide intelligence assistance to scientific expedition teams.

After the scientific expedition team completed their investigation, I followed them back to Langton to report on their duties. Later, I was assigned by the Intelligence Bureau to the Duke of Gloucester, responsible for providing him with intelligence analysis and intelligence consultation on the New World. "
