Chapter 1427 I Am the Queen

Lucian said, "So, you're taking the thief's side?"

Alice smacked the armrest of the throne and declared firmly, "She is a guest of Eurosia!"

He narrowed his eyes and said, "In the video, it clearly shows that Olivia stole the

necklace! She also happened to have this necklace in her purse. Regardless of the truth of

the matter, you can't deny that she's a suspect. It doesn't matter whether she stole the

'Tears of the Ocean', it was still found in her bag. Yet, you still treat such a person as an

honored guest?! Alice, you shouldn't let your personal bias against Beatrix and me color

your judgment! You should not gamble with the interests of Eurosia based on a mere

whim!"

Alice simply looked at him and said, "I am the Queen of Eurosia. You have no right to

dictate my actions!"

Lucian felt a surge of anger in his heart. This fury wasn't only directed toward Alice, but

also toward Blanchett.

Alice and Beatrix were the same age. Beatrix was even the eldest princess. Yet, that

blasted woman insisted on passing the throne to someone like Alice!

To make matters even more unbearable, this brat would always use her status as the

Queen to suppress them.

She's doing it again right now.

Did she really take them for easy pickings?

So, he frowned and said, "Alice, if you insist on acting this way, then I really can't let you

have your way. Although you are Queen, you are harming the interests of Eurosia with

your irresponsible actions. I can't just stand by and do nothing!"

Finally, he ordered the guards, "Investigate this matter thoroughly. Olivia cannot leave the

palace until the truth is revealed!"

Alice became furious as she rose to her feet and hissed, "Lucian, are you going against a

royal decree?"

Behind his glasses, his eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness as he replied, "Since you're

so incompetent, I really don't think you deserve to sit in that position!"

Then, he swept his gaze across the room and declared, "Do you all think I have done

something wrong? You all saw how everything played out with your own two eyes. I have

always placed Eurosia's interest first. That woman is a thief who is full of lies, yet Queen

Alice still insists on protecting her. The Queen is even refusing anyone to detain her. It

doesn't matter what the Queen's reasons are; you can't deny that she is harming the

interests of Eurosia!"

Alice could feel her patience snap as she glared at the guards who were about to attack

Olivia. She shouted sternly, "Stop right there! I'm not even dethroned yet! Who is the one

paying your salaries here? Shouldn't the lot of you know just whose orders to follow? How

dare you put someone else's words above your Queen's?! What? Are you all turning your

cloaks?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the discussions among the crowd came to a sudden

halt.

Hugh immediately stepped forward and said, "This is Eurosia, and Alice is the Queen. If

she is not worthy of this position, then who is? You? Or your daughter?"

Lucian looked at Hugh, and a glint of malice flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Plumpton, you have

only just arrived. So, you are not aware of the situation here. It's better for you to stay out

of it."

"I think you are the one who is not aware of their station!" Hugh retorted. "Alice is the

Queen of Eurosia. As long as she is present, it doesn't matter what investigation would

need to be conducted—her orders are law!"

Lucian scowled. "Hugh, cease harping about trivial matters when this is a major problem! I

would have conceded if Alice could provide convincing investigation results. However, the

fact remains that we don't know anything about the situation. Yet, you still insist on taking

Olivia away before she can be questioned. Have you considered what would happen if our

prime suspect vanishes before we could proceed with our investigation?!"

Hugh merely answered, "I invited Doctor Maxwell under General Bleu's orders. So, anyone

who dares to obstruct me from taking her to General Bleu will be charged with obstructing

official duties."

Then, he took the walkie-talkie and ordered, "Imperial Guards, come in!"

Soon, the gates of the palace swung open, and several imperial guards in blue uniforms

entered. They were different from the palace guards, whom Lucian's words could still

sway. These men only listened to Doreen's orders.

In fact, their arrival represented Doreen's intentions.

Doreen's abilities and methods were unmatched in the entirety of Eurosia, not to mention

Lucian's. This was also the reason why Lucian and Beatrix did everything they could to

prevent Doreen from recuperating.

Hugh regarded Lucian arrogantly as he said, "Protect Mr. Nolan and Doctor Maxwell and

take them to the Governor General's residence. If anyone tries to stop you, you have the

right to silence them!"
