Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 663 Political Wisdom
The fact that Perfectcot was a perfect life form did not cause any waves. Apart from seeming to arouse Princess Anne's maternal love, making her want to love Perfectcot even more, it did not cause any other impact.

Instead, the Queen became more interested in Perfect's life form, and seemed to want her to use this technology to transform Princess Anne.

This is easy to understand. After all, Perfect is too outstanding. If this technology can be applied to Princess Anne, she can also be transformed into an outstanding person like Perfect...

No, even if Perfect was only 80% as good as he was, it would be good news for the entire empire.

However, in the end, the Queen did not make this request to Perfect. She just asked for detailed information about the perfect life form and did not say anything more.

Even when Perfecto told her that this technology could be applied to adults, the Queen showed no other thoughts.

Perfect didn't say much about it. After all, it was not appropriate for her to express any views or opinions on this matter.

In the end, this incident was just an episode and did not cause any waves.

If anything has changed, it is that Princess Anne is once again trying to ease relations with Perfectocute.

However, because the Queen did not change her plan and due to the current political situation in the empire, Perfect could only do some superficial work and did not make any profound changes.

This is obviously not good news for Princess Anne.

But Princess Anne, who had matured a lot now, also noticed something. She did not continue to force it, but just performed some superficial things with Perfectcott.

However, when they later gathered their staff to discuss the matter, several veteran officials were not surprised by the result.

"Your Highness, although you may not want to hear this, keeping a distance from Earl Brandelis is a good thing for the entire empire, and the same is true for you and Earl Brandelis himself." An old man with white hair and beard spoke, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Princess Anne was a little confused when she heard the old man say that. She asked curiously, "Why did Sir Victor say that? I can understand that it is good for Perfect, but how can it benefit the empire?"
Didn't you say before that the empire is in a critical period of internal and external troubles, and I should unite the forces of the North as much as possible to revitalize the empire?"

These words were spoken earlier when Princess Anne was discussing with her staff the current state of the empire and what she should do.

At that time, many staff members advised Princess Anne to ease the relationship with Perfectocute as much as possible and avoid violent conflicts between the royalists and the northerners, especially fierce conflicts with Perfectocute himself.

"Your Highness, it's good that you can remember what the old ministers said, but you still look at the problem in a one-sided way. You should learn to look at the problem more comprehensively and not believe everything we say." The old staff member named Victor was obviously very pleased and satisfied with Princess Anne's performance, but he still put forward some new requirements. After seeing that Princess Anne listened to his words, the old staff member continued: "Your Highness, do you think it is really good if you have a very good relationship with Earl Brandlis, and there is no conflict of interest between the Royalists and the Northerners, and both sides unite to build the country?"

Upon hearing this question, Princess Anne was visibly stunned. She didn't understand why this loyal old minister, who was very trustworthy in her mother's eyes, would ask such an outrageous question.

The old man obviously saw Princess Anne's confusion, but he laughed and then asked Princess Anne again in a different way: "It seems that Your Highness did not understand my question. Then I will ask it in a different way. What do you think will happen if a giant has two heads, both of which can control their bodies, but there is a clear difference in strength between the two heads, and the stronger one is also smarter, and the weaker head is still supporting the stronger one?"

The question from the old aide almost burned Princess Anne's brain, but she quickly switched her train of thought and followed the old aide's rhythm. After thinking carefully, she answered, "Will the weaker head become a vassal of the smarter head?"

"Yes, they will become vassals." The old aide nodded, and then continued: "This is actually the same as the current situation of the empire. The Northerners and the Royalists are at odds. This is the two heads of the empire quarreling. When they work together, it will undoubtedly make the giant empire more powerful and put all its strength into one place.

But the Northern Faction is obviously larger and more powerful than the Royalists, not to mention that they have the genius leader Earl Brandiles.

Although I mean no disrespect to you, Your Highness, I'm afraid even you have to admit that there is a big gap between you and Earl Brandelis.

When you have a good relationship with Earl Brandiles, and the Northerners and the Royalists are working closely together, is it you who is the main focus, or is it Earl Brandiles who is the main focus?"

After hearing the old aide's explanation, Princess Anne finally understood what he meant.

This is indeed an issue that needs to be taken seriously and guarded against. Princess Anne knows that even if Perfectokt has no such intention, as her influence on the empire grows, her power will also increase. Even if Perfectokt does not want to become a powerful official, someone will lift her to that position and even push her above the royal family.

Such things have happened in the history of the Victoria Empire, so when the old aide talked about this, Princess Anne quickly understood what he meant.

If she was too dependent on Perfectok, then was it she who was ruling the empire, or Perfectok?

While she herself didn't mind, and she felt that Perfectoct might hate sitting in that position even more, there was no doubt that others in the Empire would not see it that way.

The old aide added: "I think Count Brandelis saw this more clearly than anyone else. She deliberately promoted the reorganization of the National Assembly and the establishment of the prime minister's cabinet system in order to cultivate and establish a more effective political system for the empire instead of relying on a certain person."
