Chapter 1138 Who Is Doreen?
Eugen's expression turned more serious after he learned the story. "He's a Eurosian? Did
they lose their necklace again?"
Olivia solemnly announced, "I'm thinking about the same thing, or else they don't have to
make a fuss over the search for the necklace."
He asked, "What are you going to do? Will you show them the necklace?"
She shook her head. "I don't want to. It's best if the necklaces aren't the same. It would be
just a little waste of time in the end. What scares me most is that they're coming after my
necklace. When the time comes, how am I supposed to explain where I got the necklace?
Moreover, I might get dragged into their politics. It won't do me good."
He agreed with her, "Fair enough. I'd rather us live a peaceful life instead of getting
involved with politics."
A while later, North came out of the room. "Mommy."
Olivia turned to him. "Did you find anything, baby?"
"Of course." He smiled proudly. "You can count on me. Nothing can stop me from getting
what I want."
She couldn't wait to hear the answer. "All right. I'm listening."

Olivia had a feeling that Albert might be an important figure, but she didn't expect him to
be a royal. "He's the older brother of Queen Alice?"
"That's right. He's twenty-five. Three years older than the Queen."
Olivia nodded and mumbled to herself, "The Queen ascended the throne at eighteen. Now
four years have passed. She was just a little girl at that time."
Eugene was confused. "Why is her brother looking for the necklace? Does he plan to take
the throne?"
She shook her head. "I don't think so. Only women can rule the country. Even if Albert is
looking for the necklace, he does it for Alice."
It confused Eugene even more. "But she's still in power. What's the point of looking for the
necklace? Perhaps somebody stole the necklace intending to strike a coup d'état?"
Olivia had no idea. She turned to North and requested, "North, keep looking into this
matter. I want to know if anything has happened to Eurosia lately."
North answered, "I did the research. There's nothing abnormal. Follow me."
Olivia, Eugene, and the other kids followed him into his room.
North showed them the major events in Eurosia over the past year.
Olivia ruled out the unrelated ones. As North said, the situation in Eurosia seemed normal.
The information showed them the development within the country in the past year. It
started trading with Nambahd, and even struck a deal with Goldiyya.
Diamonds and petroleum abounded in Eurosia. It was a small but wealthy country.
Besides, they had Decrane to back them. Therefore, the Queen had been ruling in peace
for years.
There was one thing worth mentioning, which was that the former secretary of the Queen,
Doreen Bleu, passed out once half a year ago. The press covered the incident at length.
Getting sick should've been a normal thing. However, the press in Eurosia reported her
story once in a while as if they were keeping an eye on her condition. Every article was
attached with her photo. When the photo was taken, she was either watering the plants,
relaxing under the sun, or working at her table. It was as if they intended to tell the
Eurosian that she was healthy.
Is this Doreen woman the moral support of Eurosia? Or else nothing can explain the press'
behavior.
Olivia began, "North, I need to learn more about her."
North hummed a response. His fingers flew across the keyboard as he inserted the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcommands. Soon, he sorted out Doreen's information.
Doreen was the former queen's personal maid. She had been serving Queen Blanchett for
years. Even more, she risked herself to save Queen Blanchett and Queen Alice's lives.
Back when the people were trying to overthrow the crown, Doreen helped Queen
Blanchett to make it out alive among her enemies' conspiracies.
Doreen was a bold but cautious woman, who was good at strategy. The country had
become what it was today mostly due to Doreen's contribution.
After perusing the information, Olivia mused, "No wonder the press focused on her. She's a
heroin who serves two queens in her life."
Eugene scratched his chin. After pondering for a moment, he began, "Doreen must be
very sick."
She turned to him with a confused expression. "What makes you think so?"
He shared his opinion with her. "If she's healthy, the press wouldn't have released only
articles. They would've announced her well-being at a conference. The way they report
her story once in a while… I bet they're trying to use the good news of her well-being to
stabilize the political situation or to keep their enemies at bay. As long as she's alive, the
Queen's reign will be smooth. However, her death will throw the country into danger."
