Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 534 The Queen's Considerations
After draining the spirit of a captured ancestor, Perfect made a total of eight divine potions. He gave one to Wei'er to break the curse, left one for the loyal old butler to break through the legend, and used one for himself. Perfect still had five divine potions at his disposal.

She released the news, and Wei'er broke her own curse, restored her legendary strength, and took the opportunity to break through the legendary shackles in one fell swoop to restore her identity as Sandrion, becoming the best endorsement of the divine potion.

As a result, the entire empire became excited, and countless people wanted to use their connections to get one from Perfectok.

There is no doubt that a divine potion is the hope for those extraordinary people who are stuck at the honor level and have not made any progress in strength to cross the threshold of legend. It is also the hope for a family or force to prosper in the future.

What's worse, those old world countries are also eyeing this covetously, and there are still some immortal legends in several of them.

Even the royal family could no longer sit still. The Queen herself approached Perfecto and asked her to trade a divine potion in exchange for adding a legendary guardian to the empire.

“Sir Brandlis, I believe you are well aware of the current situation of the empire. Although the empire is strong, since the death of the last legendary master, the empire has not had a legendary master to protect it for decades.” The queen did not use the imperial power to force Perfect to hand over the divine potion, but put on a weak posture to persuade Perfect with emotion and reason: “Although the return of Master Sandrion has brought new protection to the empire, the steam knight you invented has also built an indestructible steel defense line for the empire, which has indeed firmly protected the empire.

But Master Sandrion is unlikely to handle small matters, and the Steam Knights are more suitable for battlefields. Both the royal family and the empire need a suitable legendary guardian to ensure long-term stability of the empire.

What's more, with the existence of those evil god sects, don't you think that if there is a legendary strongman, it can be a good deterrent and clean up the minions of the old gods?"

“Your Majesty, I understand what you mean, but the Divine Potion is very scarce. Even I only have five left. I also need to consider myself and the North.” Perfectcott acted embarrassed, but then she took out another potion: “This is a legendary potion that I improved based on the Divine Potion. It can upgrade a transcendent to a quasi-legend. If you have accumulated enough, you can also use it to break the shackles of legend.

The divine potion will eventually be left to powerful people like Master Sandrion who have been trapped in the legendary realm for a long time, so that they can ascend to the new world and become the backbone of the fight against the old gods."

The Queen would be lying if she said she was not disappointed with Perfecto's words.

But if you consider it from a practical point of view, this is actually more beneficial to the royal family.

After all, it is a waste to use a divine potion on a noble person, so it would be more appropriate to convert it into a legendary potion.

There are several extraordinary people worthy of new honors in the royal family. If they can all break through to the legendary level, it will be a huge boost in strength for the royal family, enough to consolidate the imperial power in this turbulent and crisis-ridden era.

Correspondingly, the Queen also became a little wary and defensive towards Perfect. After all, Perfect held in his hands the ability to mass-produce these potions, as well as the divine potion that could break through the shackles of legend.

For Perfect, she can use legendary potions to recruit a large number of extraordinary people with honors, and use divine potions to make those legendary strongmen who were originally in seclusion in the past work for her.

As long as she wants, she will always have a few more super strong people who have broken the shackles of legends around her.

At least now, although Sandrion has returned to the Empire, she still maintains her identity as a servant of the North, and it seems that everything is under the command of Perfecto.

This is very intriguing, and it also makes everyone have a new assessment and vigilance towards Perfect. The Queen does not intend to be suspicious of Perfect. Whether from an emotional or rational point of view, making friends with Perfect is only beneficial to the empire, not harmful.

First of all, Perfect is, after all, the Northern Earl of the Empire. Whether legally, nominally, or in fact, she is an important official of the Empire, and her strength can be regarded as part of the Empire.

She is a citizen of the Empire first, and a Northern Earl second.

This was an ironclad fact until Perfecto himself sought independence from the empire.

As for the Queen, what she has to do is to maintain the good relationship between the royal family and Perfectok as much as possible, so that Perfectok can always maintain a harmonious relationship with the royal family.

Instead of being suspicious and wary of her, which led to the North and the royal family becoming alienated and even separated from the empire.

At this point, one only needs to look at the close relationship that Perfectcot's mother and Princess Anne once had, and Princess Anne's attitude towards Perfectcot as her own son, to understand what the relationship between Perfectcot and the royal family is like.

There is no reason to give up such a good start and be suspicious and wary of Perfect.

Secondly, as the strength of the North grows, Perfecto will only become more and more important to the Empire. Even if Perfecto develops some ambitions, the current political structure of the Empire can accommodate them. Why should we be suspicious and cause her to become alienated from the Empire?
In the final analysis, times have changed since the empire entered the Industrial Revolution. It is no longer possible for the royal family to control everything as they did in the past. Constitutional monarchy is the correct path that the empire should follow now and in the future.

Even if Perfect had some ambitions, could she really depose a royal family that posed no threat to her?

To ensure the continuation and inheritance of the royal family, even if Perfectot wants to become the actual ruler of the empire, wouldn't the title of prime minister or even regent satisfy her?

The Queen is very open-minded about this matter, and another crucial point is that Princess Anne is not a qualified politician.

In the Queen's own opinion, Princess Anne's character was somewhat too kind.

As a monarch, kindness is not a bad thing, but being too kind will only make her a mediocre monarch.

It would be fine in peacetime, but now the empire is in a turbulent time. At this time, the empire needs an iron-fisted ruler who can be ruthless.

Since Princess Anne can't do it, it is acceptable to let Perfecto, who can do it, to assist her.

At least Perfect is more like a qualified ruler than Princess Anne.
