Greeting Roy after
the loss of his closet subordinates, Madame Christmas mused that it had been a
long time since he had been to the bar. Asking how he was, she wondered if
“Elizabeth” had dumped him, pretending to flirt with him to conceal her family
relationship to him. Offering him a drink, she is given a message to pass to
Grumman at Eastern Command, happily telling him that she would get right on it.
At some point soon
after, she contacts Grumman with Roy’s news.
Months later, having
procured highly sensitive information on “Selim Bradley,” “Madame Christmas”
confirmed Roy’s suspicion that the young child was in fact a Homunculus,
showing him the photos of the child who hadn’t aged in 50 years and was always
present with high ranking members of the Amestrian military. She had also done
research on Fuhrer King Bradley, finding birth records for the child, as well
as how he grew up there, but nothing about his parentage.
She remarked to Roy
that it was much work but was motivated to learn that the family that she
looked up to in order to protect them was nothing but a fabrication. She
wondered how anyone had not learned the truth about him, musing that the
Bradley’s private physician would lie about Selim’s health to pass him off as
someone born human.
Evacuating the bar by
the sewers, she listened as the building blew up above her head, mourning the
loss of her “poor palace”. However, she told Roy that she couldn’t carry on as
a shopkeeper whilst the current military leaders were in charge, adding that
she was going into hiding and that she had already had her employees
transported out of Amestris by her top security officer. As she walked away,
she bid her son goodbye, stating her desire for him to achieve his dream and
become the next Fuhrer - something that made Roy laugh as she was still
mothering him after all those years, something he objected to, but found to be
sweet.
