Rise of Australia

Chapter 47 The Queen's Death
Arthur was very moved. In the last stage of her life, what Queen Victoria cared about and missed was not the British Empire she had managed all her life, nor the many descendants around him, but Arthur.

Queen Victoria devoted all her love to Prince Albert, and after losing Prince Albert, Queen Victoria transferred all her love to Duke Arthur.

After losing Duke Arthur again, Queen Victoria transferred this love to Arthur intact.

Maybe Queen Victoria had huge mental and physical problems due to the successive bereavements of her husband and son, but no one can deny that Queen Victoria's love for Prince Albert, Duke Arthur and Arthur is so pure , so single-minded.

At this moment, all eyes were on Arthur.Everyone knows that, apart from Queen Victoria, Arthur has become the protagonist today, and is even about to become the most eye-catching nobleman in the world recently.

Don't underestimate the influence of Queen Victoria. In the original history, it is precisely because William II has been holding Queen Victoria's hand tightly in the final stage of Victoria's life, which makes the British people who do not have a good impression of Germany. I have a good impression of William II, and even if William II was not obsessed with defeating France and challenging the British Empire in sea power, maybe everything would have turned around.

Now, during the important stage of making her will, Queen Victoria first mentioned Arthur, and Arthur was always by her side.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to reject any conditions Queen Victoria promised Arthur in the future?

According to Queen Victoria's monstrous prestige in England, coupled with Arthur's tragic background of losing his father and grandmother, even Crown Prince Edward had to weigh whether he could bear the consequences of threatening Arthur.

"Arthur." After giving instructions to Crown Prince Edward, Queen Victoria looked at Arthur again, tried her best to maintain a smile, and said, "I will hand over British New Guinea and New Zealand to you, and I hope you can manage them well. This area, combined with Australia, will create a powerful country, and you will no longer have to worry about any dangerous situations. Grandma may not be with you in the future, Arthur, you have to go on well, and grandma will watch you in heaven. "

"Grandmother, don't say that." No matter how mature Arthur is in his heart, facing this situation at this moment, he is already moved to the point of tears. He can only hold Queen Victoria's hands tightly, showing that he is complicated and entangled Mood.

"Son, don't cry. You are the Duke of Australia, and you are an excellent nobleman worthy of my pride. No matter what the situation is, don't cry, okay? Remember, you still have millions of people waiting for you Management and rule cannot be like this in front of them." Queen Victoria smiled and wiped away Arthur's tears, and said softly.

The next link was Queen Victoria's formal confirmation of the will. At this stage, Arthur was in a daze and did not listen to all of Queen Victoria's will.

Fortunately, at this stage, everyone can listen together. At the same time, there will be a special person to record it to prevent any tampering with the will.

It wasn't until Queen Victoria finished all the wills that Arthur gradually came back to his senses. Looking at Queen Victoria who had exhausted his strength, Arthur was moved and reluctant, but the god of death was not something ordinary people could stop. Queen Victoria's condition is getting worse and worse, and everyone understands that maybe today is really the last day.

"Arthur, Arthur!"

In the silence, Queen Victoria's faint cry seemed so hoarse.

"I'm here, I'm here! Tell me, grandma, Arthur is here." Arthur quickly responded by holding Queen Victoria's hand harder.

"Live well, your grandmother and your father will pray for you in heaven. Arthur, you are a good boy, and your grandmother is proud of you." Queen Victoria's eyes gradually dimmed, and she squeezed out a few words with the last bit of strength: " Albert, Arthur, here I come."

. . .

It's over, it's over.

The great monarch who has held the British throne for 63 years and held the Indian throne for 24 years. He is extremely important to the British government and the British people. Queen Victoria, who created the Victorian era of the British Empire, said goodbye to everyone.

The moment Queen Victoria's hand fell completely, Arthur understood that he had lost his grandmother who loved him the most, and that the future of Britain might really have nothing to do with him.

"Mother!" "Grandmother!" "Grandmother!" "Your Majesty!"

The flustered and heavy shouts all represented the mood of everyone at the scene.

When everyone rushed forward and even pushed Arthur to lie in front of Queen Victoria's bed, Arthur gradually realized that everything was so unbelievable, and everything was so real.

"Okay, everyone. Everyone doesn't want to see Her Majesty's departure, but at least Her Majesty is smiling when she leaves, without any worries or distress. Pray for Your Majesty, everyone, don't make a loud noise here Shout out." William II stood up and said to the crowd.

Although it is understandable for everyone to feel sad and broken for Queen Victoria's departure, on this occasion, if everyone continues to cry like this, it seems a little disrespectful to Queen Victoria.

"Everyone, we are all reluctant to leave Her Majesty the Queen, but this is not something we can decide. Her Majesty's departure is happy. She is accompanied by all her children and grandchildren, and she has fulfilled all her wishes. But the departure of Her Majesty the Queen It is heavy and unacceptable for all people, for the entire British royal family, and even for the entire British Empire. I suggest that countries carry out some activities to commemorate Her Majesty, and all countries lower their flags at half-mast for a week to commemorate Queen Victoria." Crown Prince Edward will not let it go In this case being upstaged by William II, he went on.

Judging from the status of Britain in the Victorian era, it is completely acceptable for major European countries to lower their flags at half-staff to commemorate Queen Victoria.

The reason why Crown Prince Edward said this is that on the one hand, he wanted to highlight the status and power of the British Empire, and on the other hand, he was metaphorically reminding William II that although William II is now the emperor in the nobility hierarchy, his status is the most noble.But don't forget that this is still the land of England for the time being, and he, Edward, will soon become the king of England and the emperor of India.

　The first update, please support!Now that the Victorian era is over, it's time for peace of mind.
