"Impeach me? What were they thinking, and how dare they?" Perfikot couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and disbelief when she heard the news.

She was doing everything she could to save the world, yet someone managed to hinder her at such a critical moment. It was both infuriating and absurd, making her want to just drop everything.

Because it made her feel these people simply weren't worth saving.

Though they didn't actually know she was saving the world, and their impeachment was just human nature.

Indeed, among them were those truly loyal and patriotic, yet Perfikot felt it was not worth it for her, making her want to just drop everything.

"Regarding this matter, the Noble Council indeed bears undeniable responsibility. I apologize on behalf of the Noble Council." The Duke of Gloucester did not dare to be negligent and personally came to see Perfikot immediately to express his apology.

After all, being the Chairman, he needed to bear considerable responsibility for the issues within the Noble Council.

In fact, if the Duke of Gloucester had effectively restrain the members of the Noble Council, they wouldn't have had the opportunity to propose this motion, let alone initiate an impeachment against Perfikot.

However, whether due to the Duke of Gloucester's oversight or intentional action, the motion to limit Perfikot's power and impeach her was still proposed and prominently placed on the routine agenda of the Noble Council for discussion.

Although the Duke of Gloucester promptly blocked the impeachment, the motion to restrict her power still proceeded to discussion, and the Noble Council sent Perfikot a letter requesting her attendance at a hearing to answer inquiries.

The Duke of Gloucester, aside from apologizing, urgently explained the reasons to Perfikot to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and angering her.

"If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?" Perfikot waved her hand dismissively, as if indifferent, but those familiar with her would know she was already very angry.

The Duke of Gloucester was no fool; he could naturally sense Perfikot's foul mood.

Yet, he had to face Perfikot's possible wrath, pleading with her, "Count Brandelis, before the Empire announces the apocalypse disaster, please consider the big picture!

The Noble Council's inquiry was indeed our fault, and I sincerely apologize on behalf of the entire Noble Council!

But please make sure to attend this hearing; it will help stabilize the current situation in the Empire. After all, Prince Edward's death and the inheritance he left you have greatly impacted the Empire."

The Duke of Gloucester had lowered his stance as much as possible, hoping not to offend Perfikot and avoiding escalation.

He could even be described as feeling servile, persistently using honorifics for Perfikot, which was unimaginable before.

"What does this have to do with me?" But Perfikot's demeanor became increasingly hostile, even aggressive: "Those damned people have been opposing me before; I haven't settled that score yet!

Now they're dragging me down again, and I really doubt their purpose and motive—is it truly for the good of the Empire?

If they cannot fulfill their obligations and functions as Empire's nobility, I don't mind replacing all of them! I believe Her Majesty the Empress and the Eldest Princess will support my idea."

Hearing this, the Duke of Gloucester's face turned as grim as a bitter melon, but even so, he had to continue placating Perfikot's emotions.

Because he knew clearly that Perfikot was not just talking; she truly had the ability to replace everyone in the Noble Council who displeased her.

Moreover, on this matter, neither the Empress nor the Eldest Princess would oppose her decision.

After all, Perfikot is currently the most important person for the Empire. Without her leading a series of plans in the Northern Territory and continuously developing technologies to counter the extreme apocalyptic cold, the Empire's various measures for the apocalypse wouldn't just be suspended; they'd be seriously delayed or might not even be completed or meet expected results.

Under such circumstances, it is no exaggeration to say that Perfikot's importance is far above that of a group of idle noble council members.

To put it bluntly, the council members are like leeks in a field; after one cut, they'll grow back.

Three-legged frogs are hard to find; two-legged nobles are everywhere in Langton.

Even in an extreme scenario where Perfikot resolves issues with force and slaughters all council members, one could still find people brave enough to fill those seats the next day.

In such a situation, the Duke of Gloucester genuinely feared Perfikot might bloodwash the Noble Council.

However, clearly, this act of provocation by the Noble Council had already angered Perfikot, and she wanted revenge.

Last time, when she warned the Noble Council and was mocked with "What does a woman understand?" she was just an ordinary noble girl yet to inherit her family's title, and indeed couldn't deal with the council members.
