Chapter 1426 Boundaries

Everyone turned their heads toward the sound as the door swung open. Hugh walked in and bowed deeply to Alice, saying, “Your Majesty, I have been ordered by General Bleu to invite Miss Maxwell and her husband to come with me.”

Alice’s heart eased slightly as she responded calmly, “Alright.”

Then, he looked at Olivia and said, “Miss Maxwell, I apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced earlier.”

Olivia shot a glance at Albert, who was still in a daze, and forced a smile, saying, “It’s alright. As long as the Queen believes in us.”

Eugene’s expression remained unpleasant throughout the exchange. Not only was he angry at Albert, but he also didn’t like the fact that Hugh had arrived so late!

However, he didn’t say anything. After all, the key was to leave this place as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Lucian stopped them before they could finally depart from this cruel place. He looked at Alice with a serious expression and intoned gravely, “Alice, I know you want to cure your godmother’s illness as soon as possible, but Olivia is nothing more than a thief. She knows nothing about medicine. Aren’t you worried about her doing something untoward against General Bleu?”

Beatrix chimed in, “Exactly, Your Majesty! Didn’t you see what had happened? Olivia still has a Eurosian necklace in her hand! Even if you let her go, she should at least explain why she has a Eurosian necklace in her possession.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Alice remained silent and took the box handed to her by someone next to her. Then, she opened it and showed the box’s contents to everyone. “Can everyone see it? The necklace is clearly with me.”

Then, she stood up and placed the necklace in the slot of the Queen’s throne. The throne slowly rose after a soft click.

After a moment of surprise, the crowd began to whisper to each other. “What’s going on? The ‘Tears of the Ocean’ necklace hasn’t been lost! So, what does Olivia have?”

“Who knows? Maybe she just likes it and bought a replica?”

“I know! It’s probably the fake necklace she stole five years ago.”

“Didn’t the Queen say that the person in the video wasn’t Olivia?”

“What do you know? This is simply a competition between the Crown Princess and the Queen! No one cares whether the necklace is missing or whether Olivia is the thief.”

Alice restored the throne to its original state before turning around to face everyone, announcing, “See? This is the true sapphire necklace of Eurosia. The necklace in Doctor Maxwell’s hand is not from Eurosia. Do I have the right to ask her to explain why she has that necklace? There are several replicas of this specific necklace. Can you say for certain that they’re definitely from Eurosia?”

Lucian sneered. “Alice, even if you can explain the existence of the real necklace in your possession, don’t you forget that Olivia still has Doreen’s ‘Tears of the Ocean’ in her bag.”

She merely retorted, “Then, I’d suggest my dearest Father explain why he took Miss Maxwell’s bag. Her bag was in your hands. If I remember correctly, the zipper was open too. I can easily claim that you stuffed the ‘Tears of the Ocean’ in it to frame Doctor Maxwell, can’t I?”

Lucian remained utterly unruffled as he replied, “Everyone can check the surveillance footage. I certainly didn’t lay even a finger on the bag while it was in the guards’ possession.”

She confronted him with a fierce rebuttal, “Even if you didn’t touch it, you have no right to take someone’s bag without their permission! What’s the difference between your behavior and that of a thief?”

He frowned at her behavior. “The evidence is right in front of us. Miss Maxwell is still trying to deny it even though we now have solid proof that she’s the thief. She keeps insisting that the person in the video is not her. Plus, she won’t let us see her bag or cooperate with Beatrix. Her evasive and abnormal behavior does nothing but raise suspicion. Even the Queen herself is utterly biased toward her. I have no choice but to do this.”

She curled her lips into a mocking sneer. “No choice, huh? Father, do I have to remind you that you are not the Prime Minister? Although I address you as ‘Father,’ there should still be boundaries. Shouldn’t you change your disrespectful habit of acting on my behalf under the pretext of doing what’s best for me? I have been reigning for almost four and a half years. Although Eurosia may not be as prosperous as it was during my mother’s reign, I am not completely incompetent. I can judge for myself just who is in the right and who is in the wrong.”
