Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 493 Before the Appearance
As night fell, guests from all walks of life began to arrive at the banquet venue one after another.

Because it is held in a hotel, some important guests can naturally check in to the hotel in advance. They don't need to arrive at the venue from other places like others, and accordingly don't need to enter so early.

This is actually a very delicate matter, because for those who are not of high enough status, they need to enter early to seize this opportunity to build relationships with others, and their status does not allow them to arrive late or be late.

But for guests of high status, they can only show their status by entering the venue after most of the guests have arrived and under the spotlight.

The most important guests at this banquet were undoubtedly Queen Victoria herself and her heir, Princess Anne.

Because of this, Perfect was currently staying in the hotel's luxurious suite with these two distinguished guests, chatting about daily topics and accepting the manipulation of her by the maid.

Don't get me wrong, it's just about changing her into the clothes she's going to wear tonight and piling as many expensive jewels on her as possible.

The word "pile" here is not an exaggeration, but just a realistic description.

Around Perfect's neck at this time was a necklace made of more than a thousand diamonds and seventeen pigeon egg-sized rubies, and on his hands were similar decorations that looked more like gloves than bracelets.

Her clothes were also embellished with a large number of jewels, making her look dazzling under the light.

Even the hem of the floor-length dress she was wearing was inlaid with an astonishing number of rubies, making the entire dress look like a burning flame.

If Perfectcott hadn't refused, she would have at least worn two strings of ruby ​​earrings on her earlobes.

According to Perfectcott's speculation, the jewels she had on her body today were enough to empty a gem mine and still have some left over.

After all, an ordinary gem mine cannot produce so many large rubies. Some of the rubies she has are from Prince Edward's inheritance, some are royal jewelry, and the rest are donations from three top jewelers in Langton.

In other words, apart from Perfect, it would be hard for anyone else in the world to collect a set of at least a hundred rubies larger than a thumb.

However, these jewels pale in comparison to the plain-looking crown on her head, which is inlaid with only a few gemstones, and even the gemstones are not polished to any edges.

It’s not that this crown is more valuable than all the jewelry on her body, but the historical value of this crown is extraordinary.

It was a crown made by the first founding monarch of the Victorian Empire for his wife. Limited by the craftsmanship of that era and Victoria's financial resources at the time, it looked very simple.

But since Victoria became an independent country, the queens of successive kings have worn this crown when they got married, and royal princesses are proud to be able to wear this crown when they come of age.

Even the Queen herself used this crown at her coronation ceremony.

Of course, the crown that the Queen officially wore at the coronation ceremony was the one that symbolized royal power, not this one, but it was enough to prove the extraordinary significance of this crown.

In a sense, it could even be considered an act of usurpation for Perfecto to wear it.

After all, although she theoretically has the right to inherit the throne, it is only a political asset left to her by Prince Edward, and it is essentially impossible for her to inherit the throne. And this crown is only eligible to be worn by Queen Victoria and royal princesses of all generations, and even royal princesses are not eligible. The queen can only take out this crown when attending major celebrations.

The fact that Perfecto was able to wear it at his coming-of-age ceremony sent a startling political signal.

If Perfect had not clearly stated that she had no blood relationship with the royal family, there would probably be people who would speculate whether she was the illegitimate daughter of Princess Anne and the next heir to the throne designated by the royal family.

Although there were similar discussions within the royal family, after all, Princess Anne almost adopted Perfecto.

But the Queen explained to Perfect when she took out the crown just now. This only showed the royal family's support for Perfect and had no other meaning.

Such words...Perficot felt that no matter who it was, as long as they knew the significance of this crown, it would be impossible for them to assume that there was no other meaning.

But she didn't care about it. After all, it was a good thing for her, and she didn't really care about it.

And to be honest, after tonight, if she really has this intention, I'm afraid the Queen will really consider including her in the list of heirs.

After all, the God-killing armor is ready.

Of course, another way to put it is that with everything Perfecto now knows, if she announced at today's banquet that she wanted a crown, there might be a small royal family in the Old World willing to use the crown in exchange for the survival of their family.

As for that country, it is not necessarily that the country will reject Perfectocte’s rule.

If Perfect wants to be the king, there must be people in this country who will let her rule, right? Using a crown in exchange for the entire country being able to survive the disaster, I'm afraid that those small countries in the old world that are unable to resist the doomsday winter will flock to it.

After all, a crown means changing the person who rules you. What does it matter to the people at the bottom of society?

Compared to being able to survive this doomsday disaster, Perfectoct felt that most people would not mind changing a king who could truly save them.

But for Perfect, this really has no appeal. After all, with her current power, all she needs to be a king is a crown.

"Don't tie it so tight. I can't breathe." Perfect stopped the maid who was dressing her from tightening her waist. After motioning for her to loosen it a little, she let the maid tie the laces of her skirt.

Princess Anne at the side could not help but laugh and said, "It's just you, little Perfect. If it were anyone else, they would have broken their ribs today."

"It's not that exaggerated. The girl's waist is very slender." Her Majesty the Queen also interjected at this time. If it were someone else, she would definitely not allow Perfect to loosen her skirt like she did just now, but for Perfect, she could even wear pants.

"Okay, let's get ready to go on stage." Perfecto gave a perfect smile.
