Chapter 1398


    Chapter 1398 Who Is Her Father


    Albert looked at her in surprise. “Yes, you’re right. But my mother passed away five years ago.”


    “I see,” replied Olivia. What he says seems to be in line with what I found out. So, if I’m nchett’s


    daughter, wouldn’t that make Albert my younger brother? Still, it’s too early to mention these things at


    the moment. I’ll wait until I’ve met Doreen. She looked at Albert, saying, “I hear that Queen Alice has


    done a good job of running the country.”


    Albert replied, “Yeah, things were still manageable in the past with my godmother’s help. But now that


    she’s ill, my sister’s reign isn’t that stable anymore. Countless people are looking to take advantage of


    our small country in my godmother’s absence. However, the trickiest problem is that there is a faction


    within our country that is also scheming against us. Alice fears that there is collusion between them and


    foreign forces, so she has to be on high alert every single day!”


    Olivia asked, “Is that faction also descended from your family?”


    Albert replied, “That’s right. It belongs to my half-sister Zoey.”


    Olivia understood what he meant. Eurosia was traditionally ruled by women, but for the sake of the


    quality of their offspring, they would probably sleep with different men in a way simr to how ancient


    kings used to have concubines to choose from. Since they don’t share the same father, it’s only natural


    for conflicts to arise.

    Just then, Albert added, “However, since my mother passed away, she has changed her name to


    Beatrix to signify her resentment toward my mother. This is because my mother passed the throne to


    Alice.”


    Albert looked at her in surprise. “Yes, you’re right. But my mother passed away five years ago.”


    Olivia frowned. “No wonder. But I hear that the session of the Eurosian throne requires a


    session decree issued by the former queen, right? Is she trying to control the Queen and make her


    issue a session decree? Is she even capable of that? That’d be an act of usurping the throne.”


    Albert replied, “She is indeed plotting to usurp the throne. She’s been coveting the throne since my


    mother passed away.”


    Olivia didn’t understand. “In that case, why hasn’t Queen Alice stripped her of her privileges after


    bing queen for so many years? How could she still be capable of usurping the throne?”


    Albert exined, “My mother once almost died a tragic death as a result of her half-sister Titiana’s plot


    against her back then. After my mother became queen, Titiana was sentenced to life in prison, but


    many who were unaware of the truth criticized my mother for being cruel to her own siblings. And now,


    Beatrix is just like Titiana was back then. Since ascending the throne, Alice has been governing our


    country with benevolence. So, she never took action against Beatrix, fearing that doing so would give


    cause for criticism. In reality, Beatrix wasn’t as crazy at first as she is now, but at her father’s


    instigation, she has been constantly eyeing Alice and rallying various forces to her side, seeking an


    opportunity to overthrow Alice. That’s why River and I have been extremely cautious—we are afraid of


    giving Beatrix anything to use against us. It’s not that we were targeting you on purpose, it’s that we


    couldn’t take any risks.”


    Olivia nodded in understanding. “Beatrix is your half-sister, which means Doreen is also her godmother,


    right?”


    “Yeah, she calls her Godmother, too.”


    “Can you guarantee that Doreen wouldn’t be swayed by Beatrix, then?”


    Albert replied, “No, she wouldn’t. To be honest with you, my mother’s marriage to Beatrix’s father was


    arranged by the former queen, so they never really loved each other. It was after my mother became


    queen that she got together with my father and gave birth to Alice and me, so my father was the one


    she was truly in love with. After her death, she passed the throne to Alice, and this alone shows whom


    she favored in her mind. Many people had also interfered when Alice ascended the throne back then,


    but they were all thwarted by my godmother’s maneuvering.”


    Listening to this, Olivia darted a look at Eugene, seemingly getting more confused. I thought Albert and


    I were full siblings, but now it seems that it wasn’t the case. nchett and his father were truly in love


    with each other, but they didn’t get together and have children until nchett became queen. On the


    other hand, I was already born before nchett’s ascension. So, am I nchett’s child with Beatrix’s


    father?
