Chapter 1457 What Right Do You Have To Scream and Shout?

Lucian frowned deeply. No wonder the necklace he saw taken out of the study's safe

ended up being a fake; Alice had secretly switched it with Olivia.

"Nice story," he remarked icily.

Alice casually glanced at Lucian and asked, "Didn't expect me to switch the necklace, did

you? How did you feel when you held the fake necklace in your hands?"

Lucian was rendered infuriatingly speechless. "You—"

At that, Alice withdrew her gaze indifferently and said with emotion, "Actually, I was

bewildered back then. Despite knowing she was an assassin, I wasn't afraid of her at all. I

thought it was because I was already seeking death that I didn't fear her. But looking at it

now, I realize it's because we share the same blood. We're sisters by birth! The innate

connection between us made me unafraid and convinced she wouldn't harm me, just like

how she would rather face punishment than watch me die. Now, I'm overjoyed that she

has returned safely.

"If there is guilt, it is mine. I forced my sister into a situation where she almost died trying

to complete her mission. I took a position that should have been hers. In reality, our

mother had already left an edict stating that if Princess Avril were found, she would be the

Queen of Eurosia."

Then, she turned to Doreen. "Godmother, please bring out the royal edict!"

Doreen nodded and said, "Alright. Hugh, fetch it, will you?"

Hugh acknowledged and retrieved a royal edict wrapped in a silk cloth from a storage

compartment in Doreen's wheelchair.

"Please show it to everyone, Mr. Plumpton!" Alice requested.

"Certainly," said Hugh.

Everyone stared at Hugh in confusion. They hadn't expected Queen Blanchett to leave an

edict for Doreen before her death.

The will's contents were roughly as follows: Doreen was instructed to find Princess Avril

after her death and reveal everything to her. It clarified that it wasn't because her mother

didn't love her but because the situation had suddenly arisen, and she hadn't wanted to

lose her. If Princess Avril intended to inherit the throne, she would become the queen.

Otherwise, the kingdom would continue under Princess Lydia's stewardship, with Doreen

as her assistant.

A special provision had granted Doreen the authority to exercise all of these rights on her

behalf, including the power to dismiss certain high-ranking ministers, princesses, and even

queens.

Alice added, "To prevent anyone from claiming I'm fabricating this, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Warwick,

and Mr. Naylor, you've all served under my mother. You can verify the authenticity of this

edict."

Several of the Consuls brought magnifying glasses and carefully examined Queen

Blanchett's handwriting, comparing it with the royal edict. In the end, they concluded that

the royal edict was indeed genuine.

"Good, let's execute the edict, then," said Alice with a nod before standing up and dipping

her head at Olivia. "Olivia, now that you've returned, this throne rightfully belongs to you."

The sudden turn of events took Olivia aback. This was never part of their planning. Alice

couldn't force her into a position like this!

Does Alice not know that I know nothing about ruling a country?!

She quickly responded, "No. No, I can't. I have no idea how to govern a country. Didn't we

agree that I would willingly renounce my claim to the throne?"

Beatrix was already fuming before Alice could say anything else.

What are these two babbling about?! Do they think the throne is some trinket that can be

passed around as they please? Do they think anyone, even a petty thief, can inherit the

throne?!

She couldn't take it anymore and shouted at them, "What, are you two doing a comedy

routine? Is the throne something you can just pass back and forth? An inexperienced Lydia

Bleu inheriting it is bad enough, and now some thief from out of nowhere can inherit the

throne too?! A royal edict? A bloodline verification? What a joke! I'm also the queen's

daughter. Why didn't she mention that I could inherit it? Don't think you can shout

whatever you want just because you're the queen."

Alice's face turned cold. "The edict and verification report are here for everyone to

examine. Consuls, you can check them at your leisure. As for you, a woman who changed

her name after the queen's death and constantly plots to seize the throne, what right do

you have to scream and shout here?"
