Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 711 Questions at the Funeral
The Queen's funeral is taking place in the cathedral of Belloburg.

The atmosphere at the scene was sad and depressing. All those who were able to attend the funeral had very solemn expressions. The worry in their eyes made the air in the entire church seem to freeze.

Twelve steam knights covered in black veils were stationed around the altar, where the Queen's body lay.

She seemed as if she was asleep, her expression still kind and gentle.

But she can never wake up again, can no longer lead the empire forward, and can't stop what is about to happen.

In front of the altar, Perfecto, wearing a black long dress and a black hat, with a hanging black veil covering her face. No one could see the indelible sadness on her face at that moment.

It is not only a lament for the passing of the Queen, but also for the future of the empire and mankind.

It is clearly a doomsday world with everyone struggling on the brink of death. Why are there still people trying to fight for power at a time like this?
Is it true that human beings are hopeless and will never be able to unite and fight for a better future?

Or was my choice wrong? I shouldn't have done so much for mankind. I should have let them experience the wind and snow and grow in the hardships of disaster?

Perfecto's mind was filled with thoughts. The death of the Queen had come as a huge shock to her. She couldn't help but think about why all this had happened and where the future of mankind was headed.

For Perfecto, the threat of snow and wind is not the greatest danger facing humanity.

Thanks to her efforts, humans no longer need to worry about this cold disaster, even though it is only temporary.

What really makes it difficult for humanity to survive this crisis is humanity itself.

This was also the main reason why Perfecto reflected on herself. Was she too kind to these people so that they had no sense of crisis at all?

"How did my mother die?" However, just as Perfect was thinking about all this, another woman in black veil sat next to Perfect and asked her sadly.

"Her Majesty the Queen died of illness." Hearing Princess Anne's question, Perfectcott did not turn to look at her, but gave an answer in an indifferent tone that was not wrong, but not correct either.

The Queen did die of illness, but her death was closely related to what happened in the past few days.

Both Perfecto and Princess Anne were well aware of this.

It was also obvious that Perfecto's answer was not the answer Princess Anne needed.

"Tell me the truth, little Perfect!" Princess Anne suppressed her grief and questioned Perfect through gritted teeth.

However, Perfect's expression remained indifferent: "What truth? What kind of truth do you want to know? Did I kill Her Majesty because I wanted to seize power? Or did someone try to seize power and support you to ascend the throne, so he forced Her Majesty to death?"

Perfect finally turned his gaze to Princess Anne. Although both of them were covered with black veils, Perfect's eyes still penetrated the veil and looked into Princess Anne's eyes. "Or do you want to hear me say that Her Majesty the Queen has been dying for a long time, but she has been holding on to pave the way for you. I had a chance to let her live a few more years, but a bunch of idiots messed everything up?"

Princess Anne's emotions got a little out of control because of Perfectcot's questioning, but she still suppressed her sadness and anger, gritted her teeth and asked Perfectcot: "I want to know the truth! I want to know how my mother died! For your mother's sake, tell me!"

Hearing Princess Anne mention her mother, Perfect felt a little reluctant, but still insisted: "Don't ask, Her Majesty will be sad to see you like this. If you really want to do something for her, then you should grow up quickly and become a qualified emperor of the empire, so that you can comfort her soul in heaven."

Perfectcott's words almost told Princess Anne the answer directly, and this news unsurprisingly made Princess Anne's emotions completely out of control.

She started crying sadly.

Looking at the crying Princess Anne, Perfect sighed, raised his arm to put it on her shoulder to comfort her, but then put it down again.

She knew that Princess Anne needed comfort now, but she still had to harden her heart, stood up and said, "Cry, you can only cry now, after today please take up your responsibilities and be a qualified queen!

If you can't do it, then just be a good boy and do nothing. Just be a puppet and a marionette. Anyway, I promised Her Majesty the Queen that I won't hurt you."

After saying this, Perfect turned around and left the church without waiting for Princess Anne to react.

At this time, the guards around the church have all been replaced by White Bear Knights and Iron Fire Knights. As for the original Royal Guards, more than one-third of them were executed because they participated in the previous coup. The remaining knights have now been disarmed and detained.

Until they are cleared of suspicion, there is no way they can return to their original positions.

Even if they were cleared of suspicion of betrayal, with the stain of betrayal, even the Royal Guard Knights would no longer be trustworthy.

In other words, precisely because they are royal guards, they cannot be disloyal in the slightest.

Perfect had no intention of delving into why one-third of the royal guards, who had always been loyal to the royal family, suddenly participated in a coup, and he didn't want to know whether they were innocent.

She only knew that this order of knights was no longer trustworthy.

Now the original work of the Royal Guard Knights has been taken over by the White Bear Knights, while the vigil work at the church is entirely the responsibility of the Iron Fire Knights.

When Perfect walked out of the church, the White Bear Knights around her immediately guarded her and left with her.

Although too many people had died and enough blood had been shed in this coup, Perfect knew clearly that it was not over and more blood would be shed.

It's not that she is bloodthirsty, nor does she want political persecution to eliminate dissidents, but some people have to be cleared out.

Her Majesty the Queen used her life to set up this scheme, giving Perfectoct the opportunity to cleanse Victorian politics. She would not and could not let go of such a precious opportunity.

After all, no queen would sacrifice herself again in a short period of time to create an opportunity for her to cleanse those insects with justification.

Before getting on the departing carriage, the church bell rang at the right moment. Perfect looked back at the church, with a last hint of hesitation in his eyes, but it eventually turned into determination.
