Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather
Chapter 693 No Visitors
Chapter 693 No Visitors
"Miss, the Duke of Gloucester wants to see you." Foster knocked on Perfectcot's door, asking for her instructions with a look of worry on his face.
Ever since Perfect announced her retirement, people from all walks of life have been coming to see her like crazy, hoping to understand why she did this and begging Perfect to retract her decision.
After all, this has a huge impact on the entire North, and even the entire Victoria.
However, Perfect did not meet anyone. She was too lazy to even pretend to meet anyone and simply refused to meet anyone.
This move undoubtedly increased the panic, so the number of people who came to see Perfecto increased. For example, the first person who came was the secretary of the Duke of Gloucester, but now it was him himself.
Not only that, besides the Duke, there were other people who also asked to see Perfecto at the same time.
But Perfect's attitude did not change because of the change in the identity of the visitor: "No, tell them to leave me alone!"
"Miss, I think you'd better meet them! In addition to the Duke of Gloucester, Deputy Prime Minister Kafka and the special envoy sent by the royal family are also here. The military has also sent a vice admiral and a lieutenant general of the army..." Foster still wanted to persuade Perfectcot. After all, with such a large group of people, it would not be long before a cabinet meeting was held.
However, Perfecto's attitude was very firm. He didn't even open the door: "Let them go. They wanted freedom, so I gave them freedom. They wanted democracy, so I gave them democracy. They opposed my dictatorship, so I resigned. What else do they want? Let them go!"
Hearing this answer which was exactly the same as before, helplessness appeared on the old butler's face.
He didn't say anything else, but turned around and went downstairs. He came to the group of people who had been waiting for a long time and sighed, "The lady doesn't want to see you, and...she may not even be in the room."
"What? Mr. Foster, are you saying that Earl Brandiles is not here now?" A military officer showed a look of surprise on his face.
"This is not surprising. I went up three times, and the lady's answer was the same every time, even the tone of voice did not change. It should be a pre-prepared recording." Foster explained, and then said helplessly: "So everyone, please go back. It seems that she will not see you whether the lady is here or not."
"Mr. Foster, can't you go in and see if the Countess is there?" Karen stood up and asked Foster, "You should have the key to the Countess's room, right?"
Although she knew that this was not a good idea, the whole country was in turmoil because of Perfectcot's decision, so Kallen had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
"Although it's possible, I don't think it would be meaningful." The old butler shook his head.
Of course he had the key, and he knew perfectly well that Perfecto had left the door unlocked, but so what?
He is Perfectcot's butler. If she doesn't want to see these people, then as a butler he naturally has to follow her wishes instead of considering anything else.
Especially the old housekeeper who witnessed with his own eyes the hardships that Perfecto had gone through over the years and everything she had endured. He felt sorry for Perfecto from the bottom of his heart as he had watched her grow up, and hoped that she would not have to bear these responsibilities that should not have been hers.
But the empire is in turmoil and the world is facing disaster. Only Perfect has the ability to save the world.
So no matter how reluctant the old butler was, he could only watch Perfect charge forward alone to protect the entire empire from wind and rain. Now Perfect chose to quit, and although the old butler felt puzzled and thought that her behavior might not be appropriate, he was also fortunate that Perfect finally did not have to be entangled by these troubles anymore.
Facing the old butler's implicit refusal, the Duke of Gloucester took the initiative to stop the others, stood up and said to Foster: "Since Earl Brandiles is unwilling to see guests, we will take our leave first.
However, please tell His Excellency the Count that the Empire needs her, and the people need her too! No matter what dissatisfaction or requests she has, we will listen carefully and try our best to satisfy them, so please take the time to see her after she calms down."
"I'll tell the lady." Foster couldn't make any promises, so this was the only answer he could give.
The Duke of Gloucester did not say anything. Although he was a little disappointed, he still politely said goodbye and left with others.
After Foster sent everyone away, he came to Perfecto's door again, knocked on the door and said, "Miss, they've left."
But at this time, there was silence inside the door and no one answered.
Foster hesitated, then turned the doorknob and walked in.
Even if Perfect didn't want to see guests, she should eat something or something. The old housekeeper was still very worried about her health.
However, when Foster opened the door, he saw only a phonograph on the desk, and there was no sign of Perfecto in the room.
The old housekeeper shook his head helplessly, but a look of pity emerged on his face as he watched his naughty granddaughter playing tricks.

In his opinion, at Perfect's age, she should be doing things that only little girls do. Throwing tantrums, running away from home and making trouble are more appropriate for her age.
As for national affairs? There are so many nobles and bureaucrats in the empire, can't they do it?
It all depends on a teenage girl to save the world and the country?
The old butler's good upbringing and personal qualities prevented him from saying any bad words, but he supported Perfectcott's actions.
Especially since Perfect had left a note on the table with beautiful cursive characters saying, "I'm going out to play. Please help me deal with them, Grandpa Afu!"
Seeing the note, Foster smiled with a hint of helplessness but more of a smile. He put the note away, checked the phonograph again, and after confirming that there was no problem with it, he left the room and locked the door again.
Since Perfect asked him to deal with those who came to see him, the loyal old housekeeper would naturally carry out Perfect's orders and not let anyone disturb her.
"In order to create the illusion that the young lady is still here, it seems that we need to prepare some food for her." The old butler was already regretting that he had just told the Duke of Gloucester and the others that Perfectcott was not at home, but it was harmless.
"Although I don't know what the young lady wants to do, since it is the young lady's decision, she must have her reasons. She has worked so hard for so long, it's time for her to have a good rest." The old butler's eyes gradually became firm, and he knew clearly what he should do.
As for the turmoil in the empire? If Victoria, as big as it is, stops moving without a teenage girl, then there will be no hope for this country.
