Chapter 109 Northern Development Plan

In response to Purfict's question, the Duke of Gloucester just took out another document, a canonization document that made Purfict's eyelids jump.

"Because you still need to preside over this plan, Her Majesty the Queen has specially appointed you as the earl of the Northern Territory." The Duke of Gloucester said words that made the corners of Perficott's eyes twitch, and he added like a last-ditch blow. : "The entire Northern Territory will be managed by you. Everything in the Northern Territory will operate according to your will. The empire will give you maximum support in this matter."

Having said this, the Duke of Gloucester paused and seemed to really consider his words, because he knew that what he was going to say next would probably anger Perfectcott.

But after thinking about it, he still said to Purficott: "In addition, I sincerely invite you again in my personal name and as the Speaker of the Noble Parliament to join the Crisis Response Committee.

Miss Brandless, your intelligence is an extremely valuable asset to the entire empire. It should play a greater role and make greater contributions to the empire in the face of this disaster. "

Sure enough, when the Duke of Gloucester said these words, the expression on Purficott's face had already become very ugly.

She mocked the Duke of Gloucester with an almost pointed and scolding attitude: "What? Those group of corpse-like cystic worms finally remembered me after messing up the matter? Do you think I should obey their orders? Say a few nice words and I have to do what they want?

Sorry, there is no such good thing in the world. Let them solve the problems they created by themselves. I will not accept the title of Earl of Northern Development! Anyone can do your northern development plan, there is no need to come to me! "

After Purfict finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave, but she suddenly remembered that this was her own ship, so she turned back to the Duke of Gloucester and said: "This ship is my private property, please borrow it for this time, Duke." I don't care about our previous friendship, and I won't be unkind and kick you off the ship.

But this ship is of great use to me now, so it can at most take you to the port of the New World colony, so I suggest you contact the New World Fleet of the Imperial Navy now and ask them to send a ship to pick you up. "

After saying that, Purficott was ready to leave.

However, Foster on the side suddenly stopped her.

"Grandpa Afu?" Purficott looked at Foster in surprise. She didn't expect that her loyal old housekeeper would stop her.

"Miss, I know I shouldn't say this, but I still want to remind you that the Brandless family has been passed down for twelve generations since the first knight to be canonized by the empire. You are the family member. The 13th generation, also the third generation Baron Brandlis, the family has been loyal to the empire and the royal family for generations. While receiving the power and treatment given by the empire, the family has always fulfilled its mission of loyalty to the empire." Foss Te didn't say anything more to Perfecticot, he just mentioned the family's glorious history and the tradition of loyalty from generation to generation.

However, just such a sentence made Purficott fall silent after taking a deep breath.

The Duke of Gloucester on the side did not speak at this time. He just looked at Purficott with some expectation, waiting for her to make a decision.

Although she was only a teenage girl, the Duke of Gloucester knew that Perfectcott had a very independent and strong character, and her decision could not be shaken by just a few words.

Rather than saying that there are many mistakes, it is better to wait for Perfectcott to figure it out on his own.

Her face was gloomy, showing no emotion or anger at all, but it could be seen from her shaking shoulders that she was not in a calm mood at the moment.

Given her character, it was absolutely impossible for her to accept the Duke of Gloucester's invitation to join the crisis response committee that belittled and insulted her.

It sounds nice to leave everything in the North to her management, but in fact she just continues to work for these fat-headed cysticercids, and the so-called undivided support is just talk. If the empire could really spare no effort to support itself, then what arrived in the north would not be an airship, but the airship fleet she imagined.

So at first glance, it seems that the empire is really supporting her and gave her the title of Earl of Pioneering, but in essence she is still just cleaning up the mess for the old guys in the Crisis Response Committee and the Noble Council.

They still ride on her head, and they are still able to take credit for all the achievements she has made. They go back to the sentence "what do women know" and attribute all the credit to their "wise leadership". Purficott made only a "minor contribution."

Based on his understanding of that group of nobles, Perficott firmly believed that they could do such a thing.

In terms of not being a good person, the nobles of the empire have always been not a good person.

And from the fact that they appointed themselves to be responsible for the so-called Northern Territory Development Plan, it is enough to see that they are really not good people in terms of not being good people. It is indeed the consistent tradition of these noble gentlemen to use them to their death if they find something useful. .

If things don't go well, you can blame them and say that they made a perfect plan and it was all your fault that they didn't do it well.

Purficott was insensitive to this, and it was precisely because of this knowledge that she refused the first invitation from the Duke of Gloucester and the second invitation now.

She didn't want to become a footbath for those aristocratic gentlemen, being used by them and thrown away after use.

However, Foster's words made her hesitate.

It’s not that she is really loyal to the so-called empire. Although she does have a good relationship with Princess Anne, for a time traveler, it is difficult for her to be loyal to an empire where she has no sense of belonging...

Rather than doing it for the empire, it is better to say that Purficott is protecting the Brandlis family.

She still has some sense of belonging to this family. After all, her parents are the first people she saw after traveling through time, and they died in front of her to protect her.

Coupled with the fact that Foster had taken good care of her over the years, Purficott didn't want to refute Foster's face on this matter, or she didn't want to disappoint this loyal old man.

And most importantly, if she has the support of the empire, she can save more people according to Purficott's plan.

After all, she was still kind, and it was impossible for her to really watch millions of people die like this because of a group of cysticercosis.

But for her to agree to the Duke of Gloucester like this, Purficott couldn't swallow this breath, and he was even less willing to work under the "leadership" of that group of noble gentlemen.

So after she calmed down and thought about it, she turned to the Duke of Gloucester and said, "Your Majesty, you can take over this plan if you want me to, but I have a few requirements..."
