Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 709: Absurd Farce

Passing through the broken wreckage and corpses, Perfect walked up the stone steps into the National Assembly Building.

This was not her first time to come to the National Assembly Building, but it was the first time for Perfecto to walk into this building that symbolizes the "freedom and democracy" of the Victoria Empire, stepping on the debris and corpses on the ground.

She didn't want to have such an experience a second time; one time was enough.

The army and the knights who had stood in her way of entering the National Assembly had been crushed, physically crushed.

Although they were elite and had a strong will to fight, facing the Befa and the God-killing Armor that Perfectocte had created for the purpose of killing gods, the only thing worthy of praise about them was that they fought bravely.

After the steam knights were shut down by Perfectot with special commands, these knights even chose to break free from their steam armor, holding their weapons and rushing forward with other soldiers.

Perfect didn't want to kill anyone.

But just like her first killing spree in New Shock City, sometimes you don't have a choice.

We can't move forward without killing them, we can't end this farce without killing them, and we can't stop those idiots from messing around without killing them.

Thus, the army and knights who were originally supposed to protect the country and the people were wasted, and died meaninglessly and worthlessly in front of Perfectoct. Until their death, they believed that they were defending the country and the so-called "democracy and freedom."

"Freedom is just a lie. There has never been true freedom in this world. Freedom without restraint can only bring destruction and ruin." Climbing the stairs, Perfect sighed sadly.

"The so-called democracy is a lie to manipulate public opinion. People never understand what they want, and their expectations for a better life are always deceived by false beauty." Pushing open the heavy door of the parliament hall, Perfectoct saw the royalist members who were detained together.

Most of them had horror on their faces, but some still had indignation and hatred on their faces, as if they were not satisfied with the outcome.

Looking at these people, Perfect sighed and said helplessly: “Because of your stupid behavior, many people died today. They should have died more valuable deaths, but because of your stupid behavior, they used the power that should have been used to defend this country to stir up a civil unrest.

I understand that you want to deal with me personally. We all have different political positions, and such disputes are normal.

But why did you use the Queen's illness as an excuse to start a civil war? And why did you use the army to make things worse? Don't you have any regard for the country?

Do you have any fucking idea that this would destroy the entire country? Do you know how heartbroken I was when I killed those loyal and brave knights?"

Perfect became more and more excited as she questioned these royalist members, so much so that when she questioned one of the royalist members, she unconsciously grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up.

Facing the angry Perfecto, the royalist said stubbornly: "Don't be hypocritical! If you really love this country, you won't want to be a dictator! The people don't need a dictatorship, and Victoria doesn't need a dictatorship either!"

"Really? Did I ever give you a chance? You wanted democracy, so I established the National Assembly. You didn't want to be ruled by me, so I gave you a cabinet and a prime minister. You even wanted me to step down and stop controlling the country, so I granted your wishes!" Perfect felt like she was about to laugh. She was particularly emotional today. "But are you ready? You messed up even the plans I planned. Do you really have the ability to manage this country? Or do you idiots think that so-called democracy and freedom are more important than making the country better and the people live a good life?"

Perfect, who was already extremely excited, threw the royalist out without waiting for his answer and smashed him to the ground. Because the parliament hall was the last place to be breached, the damage here was not serious, only a few stools were overturned.

But the fall of this place marked the end of this coup farce, and also marked the failure of the Victoria Empire's attempt at "freedom and democracy".

Perfect had no intention of manipulating parliament, but after what happened, the purge of the National Assembly was inevitable.

These royalists loyal to the royal family will be cleared out and replaced with more obedient members of parliament, which is something that even Perfecto cannot prevent.

From now on, the National Assembly will lose its proper role and become a one-man show to implement her will.

And she will become a true dictator who is above everything and controls the entire country.

At this moment, Perfecto did not feel the joy of ascending to the highest position of power, nor the satisfaction of controlling the country.

There is only anger and sadness.

For the troops she crushed, for the knights who died, and for this country that should not have to go through all this.

But at this moment, she didn't have time to deal with her emotions, she had more things to do.

"Execute them, and then convene all remaining parliamentarians for an emergency vote under special circumstances. I will impose temporary control over the country." Perfect gave the order.

Although she did not bring an army to Beloberg, the situation was reversed when Befa crushed the troops that blocked her outside the city.

The troops that were originally blocked in the barracks either launched a counterattack or were rescued, and have now regained control of the city, while those troops that supported the royalists were either crushed by Befa or defeated by other armies.

The entire coup seemed like a farce, but beneath this absurdity, countless blood was shed.

The soldiers present carried out Perfecto's orders, gunshots rang out, and death and blood infected the parliament hall that symbolized "democracy and freedom."

Perfect sighed helplessly, but she really didn't have time to be sentimental.

She turned to look at a knight wearing the crest of the Brandelis family, which symbolizes the North, and asked him, "Where is Her Majesty now? How is she? Where is Princess Anne?"

"Her Majesty is in her bedroom. The royalists instigated some of the royal guards to block her bedroom and spread a false message that the queen was critically ill. Now her Majesty has been rescued." The knight reported the current situation to Perfect, revealing an excitement that could not be concealed. "As for Princess Anne, she is currently under house arrest in her own residence along with other cabinet members. What are you going to do next, Earl?"
