Chapter 367 The Old Prince's Story
The story of Prince Edward was an old-fashioned and unoriginal one, and even made Perfecto feel a little sick to his stomach.

But she did not have much room to comment on this matter. After all, the parties involved had been dead for many years, and Prince Edward in front of her had already made up his mind to die. If Prince Edward himself did not say anything about this matter, no one would actually know about it.

So apart from listening to the dirty story of her nephew's secret love for his aunt, which she had already guessed was almost certain, Perfect didn't do anything else.

But she could understand why this happened.

At that time, Prince Edward's parents had both passed away, and the young him was adopted by the previous Emperor. Because of his age, he was handed over to the care of Queen Mary at the time.

During this process, it is natural for a young boy to gradually develop admiration for his aunt.

Just like the research results of psychology in the original world, young boys and girls always have some ambiguity and longing for the adult opposite sex around them, which are called Oedipus complex and Electra complex respectively.

This is normal. Most people probably just prefer their father or mother, or other adults of the opposite sex who play this role.

And after adulthood, this emotion gradually disappears and turns into family affection.

Of course, there are also some cases where the feelings are not well relieved, so that admiration really turns into love. Obviously, the old prince is such an example.

But the old prince didn't actually do anything. Queen Mary was the mother of the current Queen. She was a woman who fit the aristocratic model very well. She not only had a gentle personality and gentle temperament, but was also very capable and shrewd. She managed the harem for the previous emperor.

Queen Mary gave birth to three daughters and one son in her lifetime. Her Majesty the Queen is Queen Mary's second daughter, and her only son is the youngest son, who died before adulthood.

It was precisely because of the death of her young son that the physical and mental health of this wise queen was seriously damaged, so that she died before Her Majesty ascended the throne.

Judging from his age, that was probably the age when Prince Edward knew he was lustful and admired young girls. He was just beginning to fall in love, but his sweetheart passed away. This incident probably left him with extremely deep memories and hurt. It was not a special thing that made Prince Edward remember it for the rest of his life.

"I have no intention of interfering in your love story, but this matter must be taken to the grave. Is that what you wish for?" Perfect did not stand by politely with the old prince and directly stated the matter.

The old prince naturally had no objection to this matter. He just nodded calmly: "Of course, I don't want Mary's reputation to be damaged after so many years of death."

"Okay, let's leave it at that. As for you..." Perficot looked at the old prince, hesitated for a moment and said, "If you want, I can arrange for you to go to the North. Nominally it's exile, but you know what the empire is facing now. It's just a little bit unpleasant in name.

I can then arrange a place for you to live in Beloberg and ensure that you can enjoy your old age.

After all, you are also a prince of the empire and an old comrade of my grandfather. It is not worth killing you. You don’t have many years left to live anyway.”

Perfect was never a bloodthirsty and cruel person, although her methods were more cruel than any tyrant known for their cruelty, but this time she really didn't want to kill Prince Edward. The old prince's dirty story did make her feel uncomfortable, but that was it, and there was no need to exaggerate.

In fact, this is not a big problem. The nobles are capable of more dirty things than you can imagine, and they are much more serious than what the old prince has done.

For example, in order to ensure the purity of their bloodline, nobles usually intermarry with each other. This is fine for one or two generations, but after a long time it becomes difficult to tell who is who. Many times things like brothers marrying their sisters and nephews marrying their aunts happen.

Even in the feudal era, in order to maintain the so-called purity of bloodline, some nobles even married their own siblings or brothers.

So this little thing of the old prince is really nothing.

In addition to these, the old prince actually made great contributions and merits to the empire, especially this time his purpose was actually to eliminate unstable factors for the empire. For Perfect, this was actually a plus, so she naturally did not want to kill the old prince.

From another perspective, experienced old men like the old prince have experienced too much in their lives, and their experience and knowledge are very valuable assets. If Perfectoct can get the help of such an old man, it will be of great significance for it to stabilize the current situation and make more preparations for the coming of doomsday.

But the old prince just shook his head and said, "No need, just follow the way you planned before. As you said, I don't have much time to live, and I have lived enough.

The old guys of my generation are all old or dead. Now is the era of you young people, and it’s time for me to make way for you.

Little girl, this country is Mary's most beloved thing. I have protected it all my life. Now I have done the last thing I can do for this country. It is time to hand over this heavy responsibility to you young people."

At this point, the old prince suddenly showed a mischievous smile on his face, and asked Perfecto, "Why, little girl, you are not brave enough to take on this responsibility, are you?"

In response to the old prince's straightforward provocation, Perfect simply rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But she still said: "Have you really lived enough? Do you want to end it all this way?"

"Come on, little guy, if you are worried about my old bones, just tell me. I can let you watch me die or just do it yourself to ensure my death." Prince Edward waved his hand and said casually, "Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so picky when the empire is in turmoil, but I am really too tired and have lived long enough, so don't stop an old man from pursuing his final rest.

As for other things, don't worry, I have made arrangements and will not make it difficult for you. I have also prepared a gift for you, and I believe it can help you with what you are doing now."

"Gift?" Perfect showed a curious expression. She really didn't guess that Prince Edward would give her a gift, and she didn't know what gift he would give her.
