Isle of Wight, New Zealand.

The first session of the House of Commons went well, but it didn't make Arthur happy. Because of the news from Queen Victoria, Her Majesty's health has deteriorated and worsened, and it will not even last until winter comes.

Arthur had expected this situation, but he couldn't accept it.

Since recent years, Queen Victoria's health has deteriorated, and some political affairs have been transferred to the crown prince.

In addition, he experienced the pain of losing a child not long ago, although Queen Victoria was very strong outside, but Arthur knew very well in his heart that the departure of Duke Arthur gave Queen Victoria a huge blow, and what made Queen Victoria strong, in addition to Arthur and other princes and grandchildren, is the nostalgia for Prince Albert and the late prince, which is why Queen Victoria traveled thousands of miles to the Isle of Wight.

Upon learning the news, Arthur urgently dispatched a warship to the Isle of Wight to visit the Queen.

After a two-day voyage, Arthur finally arrived at Queen Victoria's residence, the Isle of Wight.

Arthur is greeted by Princess Beatrice, who is also Arthur's aunt.

After seeing Arthur, Princess Beatrice's eyes were red, and she said to Arthur, "Arthur, go, your grandmother is waiting for you." ”

Entering the room, which was not luxuriously decorated, Arthur saw Queen Victoria lying on the bed at a glance.

Compared with the time of separation, the queen's body has been significantly emaciated, her eye sockets are sunken, and she seems to have aged more than ten years.

"Arthur! Come to grandmother, my child. Queen Victoria immediately saw Arthur pushing the door in, and said in surprise.

"Grandmother!" Arthur responded, stepped forward, and took the Queen's wrinkled hands.

"Arthur, how was it in Australia during this time? Still adapting? The queen asked with a smile stroking Arthur's forehead.

"I'm fine, grandmother. Thanks to the Guards you gave me, I was able to take over control of all of Australia relatively smoothly. Now under my guidance, Australia has established a dual monarchy government, elected the House of Commons, and is preparing for cabinet elections. Arthur replied with a smile.

"Well, a dualistic monarchy? Aren't there any people in the government who oppose you? Queen Victoria had listened quietly, but after hearing Arthur say the word dualistic monarchy, she was a little surprised and asked.

"It seems that there is no such thing as at the moment, because the prime ministers of the former colonies do not have military powers, and I have given them temporary cabinet positions, so far there are no officials who are clearly opposed to the state system." Arthur thought for a moment before replying solemnly.

"Well, have you left all the Guards in Australia?" Queen Victoria asked again.

"Yes, grandmother. Although I have made sure that the majority of Australians are supporting me through speeches and various policies. But just in case, the Guards were all left in Australia by me. Arthur nodded again.

"Well, well done. As the ruler of a country, no matter what the circumstances are going well, you must not lose the last shred of caution. It's a good thing that the reforms in Australia are going well, but it's also a bad thing. Although now it looks like everything is fine, as you expected. But in the event of an accident, no one can guarantee in which state your opposition will pop out. Queen Victoria nodded with satisfaction, finally ending her barrage of questions.

"You've come just in time, Arthur. Some time ago, a new group of servants came from the mainland, you and Louis live in Australia, and you need more maids to take care of your life. When you go back this time, take some cooks, doctors, and servants with you, and as the ruler and royal family of Australia, don't lose face in this regard. Queen Victoria seemed to have something in mind, said.

"Yes, grandmother." Looking at Queen Victoria's earnest appearance, Arthur really couldn't say anything to refuse.

"Grandmother, how are you doing?" Arthur quickly changed the subject and began to care about Queen Victoria's body.

"That's it, Arthur. When people are old, they can't walk anymore. Originally, I wanted to go to the beach by the island, but who would have thought that I would lose my strength just by walking outside the manor, and my legs still hurt a lot. But maybe I'll see your grandfather and your father sooner. Speaking of her body, Queen Victoria sighed angrily, and seemed to think about it again, and said with a little teasing.

"Don't say that, grandmother. You will live to be 100 years old, and I will bring your great-grandchildren to see you again. Arthur hurriedly stopped Queen Victoria's decadent words and smiled comfortingly.

"Huh~" Queen Victoria chuckled and shook her head, but did not continue her topic.

"Grandmother, I'll take you for a walk around the island, okay?" Arthur stood up, intending to take Queen Victoria for a walk around the island, and by the way, also to take a break and offset Queen Victoria's physical and mental decadence.

"Okay, let's go to West Beach, Albert and Arthur love it too." Surprisingly, Queen Victoria did not refuse, but smiled and nodded.

When Princess Beatrice helped Queen Victoria into a wheelchair, Arthur summoned Queen Victoria's personal doctor, Marcoto, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Macotto, how is Grandmother?" ”

Dr. Makoto looked around, carefully pushed back a few meters, and then whispered: "Your Highness, Her Majesty is not suffering from any illness, but this is the most troublesome. Various diagnoses have shown that Her Majesty is in the twilight of her life, and her physical functions are coming to an end. According to conservative estimates, Her Majesty should only be able to hold out until autumn. ”

It lasted until autumn, and it was already early summer in June.

This also means that Queen Victoria only lived for about three months, which is shorter than the original history, but after an additional loss of a child, this is a more reasonable result.

Although he had expected it in his heart, after hearing Dr. Makoto's words, Arthur couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and instantly sank to the bottom.

"Is there no other way? Dr. Makoto. Arthur asked relentlessly.

"No, Her Majesty's body is aging normally, and with the current medical technology, there is nothing we can do." Dr. Makoto shook his head again, sighed lightly, and said.
