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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto 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?"
