Chapter 1454 On the Brink of Death
Lucian looked at the people who had turned against him, feeling furious to the point that
every part of his body ached.
He had underestimated this young girl. No! He had underestimated that man—Eugene
Nolan.
He narrowed his eyes fiercely. "Even if I framed Olivia Maxwell for the Tears of the Ocean
necklace, the video is real, right? It's true that she stole the necklace five years ago, right?
And the sapphire necklace fell out of her bag, too, didn't it? How do you explain all of
that?"
Alice sneered icily, "Trying to drag someone down with you when you're on the brink of
death? Very well, I will clarify it for you, Lucian!"
At that, she turned to the crowd and asked, "Do you all remember that our country's
sapphire necklace is hereditary, and do you remember who issued the hereditary system
for the sapphire necklace?"

The people in the room, now resembling obedient schoolchildren, eagerly answered,
"Queen Blanchett."
Alice continued, "Yes, my mother. But do you all know why my mother said that inheriting
the throne required the sapphire necklace?"
The crowd whispered among themselves, but no one responded.
Alice didn't expect them to answer either and continued, " General Bleu only told me
about this after falling ill. My mother was seeing my father—my real father, Zachary
Quaver, not Lucian—before she ascended the throne. My great-grandmother, the former
queen, separated them because she thought my father's humble background wasn't
suitable for my mother. She even arranged a marriage for my father to dissuade my
mother from pursuing him. On my father's wedding day, my mother found out she was
pregnant. She didn't want to ruin my father's wedding, was afraid of my great-
grandmother finding out about her pregnancy, and didn't want to see sisters fighting
against each other. So, she willingly gave up the throne and left for Criecia.
"However, Titiana wasn't convinced that my mother had willingly given up the throne. She
sent people to search for my mother. On one occasion, when Titiana was pursuing her, she
happened to be in a hospital getting her child treated. She had no choice but to leave the
child in a doctor's office and was captured by Titiana. This incident is no secret in Eurosia,
and I'm sure you've all heard of it. So, I won't repeat it.
"What I want to say today is that the reason my mother instituted the rule of inheriting the
throne with the sapphire necklace is that she gave the sapphire necklace to the child she
left in the doctor's office, which is my sister, The Crown Princess of Eurosia!"
With Alice's revelation, the crowd erupted into a tumult.
"What does this mean? Are you saying that the former queen had another child?"
"Yeah, I only heard about the former queen being captured by Titiana and outsmarting
her, but when did she have another child?"

child has been found."
"Who is it? Could it be Olivia? She's in possession of the necklace, isn't she?"
Beatrix tensed up with a mix of anxiety as she glanced around, fearing that the revelation
might be true.
If Olivia is also a princess, won't it mean that we're on equal footing?! No, this can't
happen!
Lucian also realized the implications and sneered, "Are you suggesting that Olivia is the
child Blanchett lost all those years ago? Ha! You, as a queen, truly have a flair for the
dramatic. You're even willing to give up the princess' status to clear Olivia's name. How
absurd! A common thief like Olivia doesn't deserve it!"
Alice glanced at Lucian indifferently and said, "Deserving it or not isn't up to you to decide,
and whether or not to let her have it isn't up to me. My mother's firstborn is the Crown
Princess of Eurosia, and that's undeniable. Furthermore, my mother had once stated that
she wanted to pass the throne to her firstborn!"
