Chapter 1455 Do You Think You Can Fool Me Like a Child?
As Alice continued her revelation, the crowd was in shock.
What's going on? Does this mean that Olivia is the rightful queen of Eurosia instead?!
Alice ignored their astonishment and continued, "The Crown Princess' name is Avril Bleu,
which means 'beginning' and symbolizes a new start for my mother. Later, when Avril was
lost, my mother searched for her, but when it proved fruitless, she shifted her focus to
finding the necklace. Since the necklace was placed on Avril, my mother believed that
finding the necklace would lead to her daughter, and that's why Eurosia's succession
required the sapphire necklace. My mother was wise; she knew that everyone would strive
to find the necklace for the throne, but it was never found. Five years ago, on the night
depicted in Lucian's video..."

She paused and took a deep breath. "At this point, I don't want to hide anything. The
video Lucian released a few days ago is indeed genuine, and the person in it is indeed
Olivia. She was the assassin from the Double Dragon Court hired by Lucian, intending to
steal the sapphire necklace."
The crowd was left bewildered by this revelation.
What's going on? Wasn't the video said to be fabricated just a few days ago? Now, it's
genuine again?! Also, the Queen had just claimed that Olivia is both the Crown Princess
and the rightful queen, and yet, now, she revealed that Olivia is indeed the assassin from
the video. What's the real story here?!
Lucian grinned wickedly, schadenfreude. How about that? She doesn't spare any mercy
now that Olivia is threatening her throne as well. She wants to strike us down, then get rid
of Olivia, doesn't she?!"
At that, he exclaimed urgently, "So, you're admitting that the video is real now? Last time,
you vehemently claimed it was fabricated. Whom were you trying to protect? Or is it that
the person you're protecting also poses a threat to you? You're accusing me of hiring
assassins from the Double Dragon Court. What evidence do you have? You're labeling
Olivia as an assassin and branding both me and your sister as employers of assassins. By
doing this, you're eliminating all those who threaten you. It's a clever way of getting rid of
your rivals! I suspect you're not here to solve problems but to eliminate dissidents!"
Alice's lips curved into a half-smile, seemingly amused. "I was just introducing Doctor
Maxwell's identity to everyone. Why are you so worked up, Lucian? If I wanted to eliminate
dissidents, I wouldn't have revealed Doctor Maxwell's identity."
While Lucian furrowed his brows, looking somewhat puzzled, she continued, "I recognized
Doctor Maxwell immediately when I saw her this time. Back when she and the others were
in this study, I was just outside, and I had their every move under my control. Of course, I
had no idea that Lucian had placed a recording in my study."
She then turned to look at Lucian. "You asked me who I was protecting to deliberately
claim that the video was fabricated. Well, let me tell you, it was you, my father. I was

admitting the video's authenticity, you essentially acknowledge that you hired assassins
to steal the necklace?! Otherwise, how do you explain placing a recording in my study that
conveniently captured them committing the crime? The only explanation is that you knew
in advance.
"Even if the Double Dragon Court's assassins were formidable, without someone on the
inside, they couldn't have moved about Eurosia freely without raising suspicion. I've given
you chances time and time again, but you truly didn't take me seriously. Your daughter
made grandiose claims, framing doctors and preventing them from treating General Bleu.
You secretly rallied various factions to your side. Just a few months ago, you even sent
assassins from Dragon's Breath to steal the necklace, didn't you? The list of assassins in
your possession is something only the employer would have. Father, did you really think
you could fool me like a child?"
