Maple leaves, daisies, roses and irises

(I don’t want to see the two people in Yingjia showing affection anymore -_-#为一个仏英党…)

Every word from my mouth is righteous, without crookedness or deceit!

There is such a poor and hateful man in the world.

He completely defeated the former empire on which the sun never sets, and never regained its former glory; he almost frantically pursued power and wealth, and established the largest empire in the world.His deeds are as sensational as his evil deeds. Where the iron hoof stepped, he left despair and blood, and swept away gold and land.For hundreds of years, he has been praised by his own people and hated by weak countries. He is like a leopard on the African grassland—sharp eyes, simple and brutal methods.

He was called Great Britain.

The ancient kingdom gradually declines under the brilliance of the new stars, and finally disappears from the public.

The beginning of the new world means the official collapse of Great Britain's supremacy.The rising new forces and the united old countries have begun a half-century-long tug-of-war——

Matthew doesn't want to meddle in other people's business at all!

More and more people in his family have become anti-British factions, insisting on claiming the sovereignty of their own country. Although they have not acted excessively, just making such a fuss is a headache for Matthew, especially that black-haired brat!

"Quai, Bei, Ke! You are a gift from the British Empire, and you are just a state in one of the countries of the Commonwealth of Nations! Do you feel too good about yourself?!"

All signs are in french, so other English speakers can't get into it at all!

If the language of a region has been out of the control of the state, then the real power in this region will not be in the hands of the government soon!

"I don't care about you, Matthew Williams! I'm not the weak kid I was back then!" The black-haired boy shouted unwillingly, "I! Rip Bennett, I will definitely become an independent The country's huh huh—”

Matthew covered his mouth that kept popping out amazing words, and knocked him hard: "Bennet? Have you even chosen your own surname? My God, enough is enough for you! Stop wishful thinking What's up, Rip Boy!"

"Let go of me, you Kirkland lackey! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!"

... Kirkland's lackey?

Matthew smiles.

……

"Williams, you bastard—! It hurts so bad!!"

Public anger is hard to appease.

This is a truth that has been interpreted throughout the ages.

The black-haired kid was pretending to be wearing an ill-fitting suit, sitting at the table with his chin raised, and didn't even bother to look at Matthew sitting next to him.The curly-haired young man looked at Laip next to him with a little displeasure—from his black leather shoes one size too big to his crooked red bow tie—the other man exuded an arrogance all over his body, with his eyes above the top.

If Arthur Kirkland's arrogance is a temperament engraved in his bones given to him by the strength enough to disdain the world for a long time, then this little boy who pretends to be a hypocrite is just a very simple outsider!

Matthew hugged the white bear in his arms, lowered his eyes, and sat quietly on the seat.Before the result came out, he didn't want to have any substantive conflict with the other party.

The attendees arrived one after another.

When the results of the referendum were announced, Matthew was keenly aware that the boys around him tensed up—of course, Matthew himself was not much better.He said that he would definitely win, but in fact he was still not very confident that he could keep Laipe.

Hugging the limp white bear even tighter in his hands, Xiong Erlang, who was sleeping soundly, gave his master a hard look.Matthew smiled helplessly, his pet really, will never understand the hard work of its owner...

The man in the center of the hall was silent for a moment, and read in a deep voice:

"Support, 40%."

"No, 60%."

Before he finished speaking, Leip Williams hit the table with his fist.He shouted angrily: "This is impossible!!"

Matthew secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense and straight back instantly relaxed.The man who read out the result calmly said to the angry Lepp: "This is the result of the referendum, Mr. Williams. No matter how dissatisfied you are, it is the will of the whole country..."

"Shut up, my last name is Bennett!!" The boy behaved like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, "Matthew Williams, you must be getting in the way, right? How could I be only 40 % approval rating?! This is a huge insult to the people of Quebec!"

Matthew, who had settled his worries, became even better (in fact, he has always had a good temper). Facing Rip Williams' unreasonable questioning, he calmly replied: "This is fair and just. Referendum, Lepp. If you don’t believe this result, you can go to the street and ask the people’s opinions, and do your own investigation.”

Rip Williams' face turned blue and pale, and it took a while to return to normal, and his immature face wrinkled fiercely, "Okay, Matthew Williams! One referendum does not mean that this will always be the result! Just wait, my current country... I won't give up! This time it's just that I wasn't prepared enough! When the time is right..."

The defeated boy bravely waved his fist, stomped on the floor on purpose, and left in despair.Looking at the back of Quebec's departure, Matthew was relieved, but at the same time he couldn't help but start to worry.

The other party's declaration when they left...

Matthew rubbed his temples with a headache.

He just hates such opponents, who are persistent and stalking... Tsk, don't take it lightly in the future, Laip...

————————————————————————————————————————

Quebec's problem is solved, but this is only the beginning.Although the domestic people don't want their country to split, they don't have much affection for the country that has occupied Canada/Canada's actual dominance for a long time.

Your own country should be ruled by your own people, not the group of British/Grench people on the other side of the ocean!

Anti-British sentiments had intensified to the point where they had to be dealt with.The blond gentleman was wearing a simple white shirt and brown trousers, holding a cup of steaming black tea in his hand, standing by the window, watching the street scene of Ottawa silently.

"A beautiful city," concluded Arthur Kirkland.

"Thank you."

"It's even more beautiful without those banners."

Matthew was silent.

Of course he knew what banner the British gentleman was referring to.Even if the anti-British sentiment is not particularly strong in general, there are still some extreme people who express their dissatisfaction in various ways, and they can't be stopped even if they want to.

The Quebec referendum is just the beginning, a fuse.The next thing to face is a more violent storm.

"You know the purpose of my coming." Arthur turned around, his handsome features looked even more charming under the soft dim yellow light, "Matthew, do you remember what I said?"

"Which sentence do you mean, Mr. Kirkland?"

The gentleman did not speak immediately, but looked at him deeply, and walked forward step by step.The expensive leather boots made a muffled sound on the carpet, and Arthur walked from the side of the bed to the sofa and sat down next to the sofa in an extremely elegant gesture, and put the teacup on the coffee table.

Matthew looked at his ruler anxiously. He was far less calm than he appeared on the surface. In fact, he was about to be driven crazy by the depressive atmosphere Arthur deliberately created.From the moment the blond man entered the door, it was as if a time delay magic had been cast in the room, making him feel like years passed by!

God knows how much he wanted to say to Mr. Kirkland: What do you want, just say it, it's up to you to decide.

...he really didn't have the courage.

Just when Matthew could hardly help but speak, Arthur opened his mouth and broke the silence: "I said, if you want to be independent, I won't stop you, really."

The atmosphere froze for an instant.

Arthur glanced at Matthew on the opposite side, and added: "As I said, you have to follow your own will and don't worry about other things... Freedom is what every country wants, and there is nothing wrong with it..."

Matthew didn't answer for a while, he didn't expect the British gentleman to say it so simply.

Like an old machine, my thoughts creaked and jumped out of a part, and then completely jammed.Matthew opened his mouth like a fish, unable to say anything.The words he wanted to say piled up in his head in a disorderly manner, almost crowding his head, but he just couldn't pick out the right words from so many languages.He didn't know what to say to Mr. Kirkland.

The man in front of him is England who once ruled the whole world.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed man didn't have the rebellious look familiar to Matthew, but was full of retreat and numbness—the numbness of getting used to failure.His body is covered with scars, which were left a long time ago, from the Hundred Years War, the Seven Years War, the American War of Independence, the World War... Time will not change his appearance, what changes is the scars that increase day by day, And a state of mind that is long gone.

The world no longer belongs to Great Britain.

And now even his own colony must be freed himself.God knows how complicated his mood is at this time.

Once such a proud person...

"Mr. Kirkland, listen to me," Matthew thought for a while, and said earnestly, "it is impossible to say that you have never thought of independence, and you know it. So—"

"That would be great." Arthur didn't seem to want to discuss this topic too much, he stood up, turned around to get his clothes and cane, "I will prepare this matter in a few days, when the time comes I will ask you to come to my place to discuss..."

"Wait, Mr. Kirkland!" Matthew quickly stood up, "'This matter'?"

Arthur glanced back at him, "Your independence."

——? !

Matthew couldn't think about anything for a moment.

His mind is full of—keep the person in front of him! !

If this continues, he has a premonition that he will never see the other party again!

"Mr. Kirkland! You have to listen to what I have to say—" Matthew rushed over, regardless of the other party's indifference that made his heart hurt, resisted the urge to hug the other party, and said sincerely, "Please believe me, I am not What do you want to do! You have always been very kind to me, no matter which aspect—but, I don’t want to do anything to you after I become independent! I am different from my brother, don’t just because of my brother... He never separated me from him!"

The way the English gentleman looked at him just now chilled him.

That look seemed familiar.

The look in the eyes when looking at Mei/Lijian.

The curly-haired young man bit his lower lip, his fair face flushed red, and his natural shyness made it difficult for him to speak.Arthur Kirkland looked at him for a moment, then sighed deeply, shook his head helplessly, put down the clothes in his hand, and stretched out his hand to embrace the young man in his arms.

Matthew's eyes widened, and they hung sideways on the bridge of his nose.The breath of a blond gentleman sprayed on the side of his neck, his hard hair made his ears itch slightly, his thin chin rested on his shoulder, Arthur whispered sighingly: "I really don't want you to be independent, Williams... From every angle..."

Matthew pursed his lips in silence.

"But independence is the trend of the times... God, I really don't know what to do... Until now you are only independent in name, and the real power is still in the hands of my boss. If you return your real power to You..." Arthur paused, and then hugged Matthew even tighter, "Forgive me, Williams...I'm afraid of the future, I'm serious..."

"I understand, I understand . . . Mr. Kirkland."

"forgive me……"

The ancient, decaying empire on which the sun never sets hugs its largest and most important colonies.

Great Britain is gradually declining.

————————————————————————————————————————

1982 4 Month 17 Day.

When Matthew walked to the high platform, he looked back.

The golden hair is quite conspicuous in the crowd.The green-eyed gentleman maintained a good posture, sat upright in the special position of the circular seat, and raised his chin without looking at Matthew.

Mr. Arthur Kirkland...

Matthew only looked at it for a short moment, then turned around and walked slowly to the front of the stage.

"I adorn you with the most beautiful flowers!

I mold you with the most beautiful words!

I sing to you in my most elegant poems!

I salute you with the most honorable title!

I adorn you with the brightest colors!

I am in awe of you with the most humble gesture! "

Matthew Williams steps onto the podium.

Arthur Kirkland finally lowered his noble green eyes and looked at the light brown curly-haired youth on the stage below.Even in such an occasion, the other party is still holding the white bear named Xiong Erlang, smiling gently on the surface, but those who are familiar with him can immediately notice his embarrassment and unnaturalness.

...that would be great.

Is not it?

Mr. England watched the independence of his former colony without saying a word.

——The Canadian/Canada Parliament passed the new constitution, and obtained the permission of the British/United Kingdom Parliament to abolish the old constitution.

July 7 was changed from Dominion Day to Canada Day.Matthew tried his best to maintain a perfect smile, resisting the turbulent waves in his heart and the sadness after seeing the blond gentleman.

On this day, Canada actually became independent from Great Britain.

The ancient empire, after all, could not retain the land it had acquired with its own hands.
