Rise of Australia

Chapter 3 I'm going to Australia!
On January 1900, 1, the third day after Duke Arthur was buried.

It was the third day since Queen Victoria had given orders to the government and five days had passed since Duke Arthur was assassinated.

Buckingham Palace, the office of Queen Victoria.

Early in the morning, Queen Victoria sat on her desk with a livid complexion and red eyes.

The papers piled high on the desk had all been thrown aside by Queen Victoria angrily.

The reason why she is so angry at the age of 81 is naturally because of the assassination of her favorite son, Duke Arthur, not long ago.

Thanks to Britain's huge intelligence agency, which is ahead of the world, a list and detailed information about all the people involved in the assassination was sent to Queen Victoria's desk in just a few days.

Because of the secrets involved in the royal family, this information list is unknown to others.

"Arthur! My poor Arthur, I am the one who is sorry for you." Queen Victoria looked at the list with red eyes. It was impressively written on the list that Duke Arthur was assassinated by a loyal gunman under the influence of Crown Prince Edward.

"Albert, I killed our child. Arthur didn't even want to compete with Edward, but unexpectedly died in the struggle for the throne." Queen Victoria said regretfully with tears in her eyes.

Prince Albert is Queen Victoria's beloved life partner. Even though Prince Albert has passed away for nearly 40 years, Queen Victoria still misses Prince Albert from time to time.

Duke Arthur was the favorite son of Queen Victoria.

Because Prince Albert died on the way to visit Crown Prince Edward, this also displeased Queen Victoria, who loved Prince Albert, and has not allowed Crown Prince Edward to participate in government affairs.

It was not until Queen Victoria's physical condition deteriorated in recent years that Crown Prince Edward had the opportunity to gradually get in touch with various government affairs.

But at the same time, Duke Arthur, as the only prince sealed in the British mainland, not only holds a high position in the army, but has always been loved by Queen Victoria.

Such an obvious gap is also the reason why Queen Victoria wants to appoint another crown prince repeatedly in the British political and private circles.

Perhaps Crown Prince Edward was dissatisfied with Queen Victoria's preference for Duke Arthur, and wanted to get rid of the biggest threat to his succession to the throne; He died at the hands of the crown prince.

Although the entire assassination case was well hidden, and the entire assassination was even divided into several links, which largely cleared up the suspicion of Crown Prince Edward and the Crown Prince's forces, the clues were still discovered by intelligence agencies.

"Edward..." Queen Victoria looked at the words "Crown Prince" on the information that hurt her eyes, and she was emotionally overwhelmed, but she couldn't say a word.

After a long time, Queen Victoria recovered from her extreme grief and said to the door: "Beatrice, go and call little Arthur over."

Princess Beatrice is the youngest child of Queen Victoria, and also Queen Victoria's biggest reliance and reliance in the past 40 years of losing her husband.

Princess Beatrice, who has also lost her husband, has been by Queen Victoria's side and is Queen Victoria's unofficial secretary and closest person.

"Yes, mother." Princess Beatrice left quickly.

It didn't take long for little Arthur to be taken to Queen Victoria's office by Princess Beatrice, while old Hunter, the housekeeper, escorted him all the way to the door of the office, and then he waited outside the door in peace.

Seeing the young man walking towards her step by step outside the door, Queen Victoria finally showed a smile she hadn't seen for a long time, and said softly to little Arthur, "Arthur, come to grandma."

Upon hearing this, Arthur immediately quickened his pace, stepped forward, helped Queen Victoria back to her seat, and then said, "Grandmother, Arthur is here."

"Arthur, how have you slept these two days?" Queen Victoria tried her best to maintain her normal side, but her trembling voice revealed her emotions.

"It's fine, grandma. But you, don't be too sad. Although father is gone, the country still needs you, grandma, and so do I and all members of the royal family, grandma." Arthur looked at Queen Victoria's face Naturally, she also understands how cruel it is for this elderly queen to lose her beloved son in old age.

"Good boy, don't worry about grandma, grandma is very good. After a while, I will formally hold the ceremony of inheriting the title with you. If you need anything, tell grandma." Queen Victoria smiled and touched her He touched Arthur's head and said.

"Grandmother..." Hearing what Queen Victoria said, Arthur wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start.Perhaps this request of his own was another blow to the elderly Queen Victoria. Seeing how much Queen Victoria cared for him, Arthur was a little speechless.

"What's the matter, child. Don't worry, grandma is here." As if seeing Arthur's hesitation to speak, Queen Victoria smiled reassuringly and comforted her.

"Grandma, I don't want to stay here anymore, I want to go out and relax." Arthur gritted his teeth, and still said his request.

Queen Victoria was not as excited as expected, but was very silent.

After a long time, Queen Victoria asked in a hoarse voice, "Then where do you want to go? Arthur."

"I don't know, maybe Australia or New Zealand. I heard that the sea view is good there, maybe it's more suitable for relaxation." Arthur said.

Obviously, Queen Victoria cannot be fooled by such a flawed statement. If we only talk about the sea view, the sea view in the British mainland is very good. There is no need to go to Australia thousands of miles away.

But thinking of Arthur's reason for wanting to go out to relax, Queen Victoria didn't know how to speak.

"So, Arthur, will you come back?" asked Queen Victoria.

Will you come back?Arthur thought to himself, if it wasn't something very important, probably not.

Although under the control of Queen Victoria, little Arthur can gallop on any piece of land in the British Empire.

But how much longer could Queen Victoria last?On top of the original history, Queen Victoria died just a year later in January 1901.

And now, Queen Victoria has experienced the pain of losing her son again, and whether she can persist until January next year is another matter.
