The "Virgin Queen" has been living in uneasiness. She is not only worried about invasion by foreign enemies, but also afraid of being assassinated. She even lets spies secretly monitor every move of the people in the palace, which makes the atmosphere in the palace very tense.

The reason why she didn't get married was also very simple. If she didn't get married, she wouldn't have to have children. Even in the 19th century, having children was risky for women, from the queen down to the washerwoman.

Every time Queen Victoria gave birth, Prince Albert was by her side, caring for her, but there were some things that men couldn't help with.

News of the pregnancy broke out shortly after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert got married. When the whole country was blessing her, Queen Victoria submitted a bill to Parliament, which stipulated that in the event of something unexpected happening to the Queen, Albert would be appointed.

Prince Albert will serve as regent, but the premise is that Prince Albert must not marry a Catholic if he remarries, and must live in the UK after marriage.

This first aroused the "dissatisfaction" of the Duchess of Kent, who had been planning a "regency" for a long time, and William IV also asked Alexandrina Victoria to become independent for this reason.

The baroness who was driven away was the princess's playmate since she was a child, and was also arranged by her mother. Apart from her brothers and sisters, she was only accompanied by the baroness, her mother and her daughter during her childhood.

Because this was her first pregnancy, no one knew what to expect, so the ministers complied with any request made by Queen Victoria. On the contrary, the public became worried about the bill.

In the first two years of his marriage to the Queen, Prince Albert was isolated from British state affairs. Every time the Queen met with ministers, he was asked to avoid it. As a German, he was also known for his unsmiling smile until his death.

The prince has always been subject to endless public suspicion.

But shortly before the Queen announced her pregnancy, the Assassination of Osford occurred, and the Queen's verdict convinced the public. Public concerns about opposition to the bill soon dissipated, and Queen Victoria's mother and uncles had nothing to say.

Already.

Later, at the suggestion of Baron Tokema and with the consent of Viscount Melbourne, Prince Albert began to ease the originally tense relationship between the royal family and the Conservative Party. Queen Victoria came forward to entertain important figures of the Conservative Party.

Viscount Melbourne was the Prime Minister at the time. He was 56 years old at the time and had been separated from his wife for many years due to her various infidelities, the most famous of which was her affair with the poet Lord Byron.

Viscount Melbourne himself was also handsome. He often gave lessons to the princess, who was still in her prime, and talked secretly together for at least 6 hours every day.

Even the Duke of Wellington thought they had been together too long and too close, and rumors about the Queen's relationship with the Prime Minister reached the public's ears, with someone even drawing caricatures of the title "Lady Melbourne"

It was first shouted out by the Tories, but later spread throughout the streets because of the cartoons.

There is nothing wrong with the content of the comic itself. It is just a man and a woman, wearing solid clothes, and there is no suggestive body language. It is just an ordinary conversation.

But whether it was to avoid suspicion or for other purposes, at the Queen's 19th birthday party, the Prime Minister refused to dance with her and went home early. At that time, the ballroom was packed with guests from home and abroad.

Soon after, the young people danced a four-pair dance around the queen. The young queen was so energetic that she danced until 4 a.m. and left, forgetting about the incident.

Pomona didn't actually hide anything shady in her drawer, just a few cosmetics that she had never used before, but she bought them because they looked good.

But when they appeared in Snape's field of vision, she suddenly understood how those boys who had their private magazines felt felt, and she pushed the open drawer back angrily.

"What are you looking for? Tea bags?" she sarcastically said.

When he heard this, his eyes turned to her, looking incomprehensible.

She was indescribably embarrassed, but didn't know what to say.

"It's just a few eyeshadows, what's there to be nervous about?" Snape said easily, "You confiscated them from students?"

She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, he had already taken an empty glass and returned to where he was before.

He took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and filled the drinking glass with it. Her office mainly received children, and she did not prepare a tall glass for drinking...

"What are you standing for? Sit down." He said in a commanding tone.

Pomona hesitated for a while, then sat across from him again, picked up the watermelon juice and drank it.

He drank the wine slowly, and it was hard to tell that he was younger than her. It was also hard to tell that he was only two terms older than Priya Moore, only over 20 years old.

When the watermelon juice bottomed out, she sat sideways awkwardly, facing him with her side face.

"Say something, Pomona, don't you like chatting with people?" After a moment of silence, he said coldly.

It was with other people, and Pomona felt more at ease talking to them than she did now.

"You...I'm afraid it's not that easy for you to apply to join the Secret Service now. Have you read the newspaper recently?" Pomona stammered.

"Of course I read the newspaper. Rita Kist is back." Snape pursed his lips and said.

She was not surprised at all. Just when she subconsciously wanted to take a sip of watermelon juice, she found that it was already empty.

He reached out and took the glass from her hand, poured a glass of wine into it, and handed it to her.

"Thank you." She took the cup and said softly.

"Go on." He said quietly.

"Have you seen any James Bond movies?" Pomona asked.

"When we talked about newspapers, why did we talk about movies?" Snape asked.

"It has been out for 20 years and there have been several series. Have you ever seen the inspector general issue a ban and ban the theater from showing it?" Pomona said.

He looked at her silently.

"A book was published in Australia, said to be written by a former MI5 staff member. Two newspapers published the contents of the book. Because of the leaked content, the inspector general issued a ban and banned publication." Pomona

explain.

"Continue." He frowned and listened carefully.

"Although there is a ban in the UK, there is no ban in the United States. It has become a bestseller now. You can even find it in the UK as long as you look for it." Pomona said and stood up and found a book from the bookshelf.

.

It was not as old as other magical books, it was just an ordinary paperback, and she handed it to Snape.

"The two newspapers appealed, arguing that there was no public interest in maintaining the ban on the book after it had entered the UK freely. The Inspector-General held that the ban should continue and be 'permanent', but the House of Lords held that there was no

Tag of."

"Thank you." Snape said with a smile and took the book.

"MI5 is not like MI6, not like the Secret Service, you can find them on government department lists, but I would say that if you really want to get a writ of habeas corpus this way, you have to get

They know you're tight-lipped and loyal and trustworthy," Pomona said, returning to her seat.

Snape briefly flipped through the book in his hand, then looked at her again.

"How are you going to prove your loyalty, Severus Snape? After I figured this out, joining the Secret Service will definitely be harder than before." Pomona said with a smile.

"Have you ever put on makeup yourself?" He put away the book and said with a leisurely look, "Or stole those cosmetics?"

She stopped smiling and turned her face away angrily.

"Tell me, I won't tell anyone." He said with a smile.

Pomona wanted to punch him and knock the smile off his face.

As a result, he became happier and even showed his yellow teeth.
