    Chapter 1427 I Am the Queen


    Lucian said, "So, you''re taking the thief''s side?"


    Alice smacked the armrest of the throne and dered firmly, "She is a guest of Eurosia!"


    He narrowed his eyes and said, "In the video, it clearly shows that Olivia stole the ne! She also


    happened to have this ne in her purse. Regardless of the truth of the matter, you can''t deny that


    she''s a suspect. It doesn''t matter whether she stole the ''Tears of the Ocean'', it was still found in her


    bag. Yet, you still treat such a person as an honored guest?! Alice, you shouldn''t let your personal bias


    against Beatrix and me color your judgment! You should not gamble with the interests of Eurosia based


    on a mere whim!"


    Alice simply looked at him and said, "I am the Queen of Eurosia. You have no right to dictate my


    actions!"


    Lucian felt a surge of anger in his heart. This fury wasn''t only directed toward Alice, but also toward


    nchett.


    Alice and Beatrix were the same age. Beatrix was even the eldest princess. Yet, that sted woman


    insisted on passing the throne to someone like Alice!


    To make matters even more unbearable, this brat would always use her status as the Queen to


    suppress them.


    She''s doing it again right now.


    Did she really take them for easy pickings?Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    So, he frowned and said, "Alice, if you insist on acting this way, then I really can''t let you have your


    way. Although you are Queen, you are harming the interests of Eurosia with your irresponsible actions.


    I can''t just stand by and do nothing!"


    Finally, he ordered the guards, "Investigate this matter thoroughly. Olivia cannot leave the pce until


    the truth is revealed!"


    Alice became furious as she rose to her feet and hissed, "Lucian, are you going against a royal


    decree?"


    Behind his sses, his eyes shed with a hint of ruthlessness as he replied, "Since you''re so


    ipetent, I really don''t think you deserve to sit in that position!"


    Then, he swept his gaze across the room and dered, "Do you all think I have done something


    wrong? You all saw how everything yed out with your own two eyes. I have always ced Eurosia''s


    interest first. That woman is a thief who is full of lies, yet Queen Alice still insists on protecting her. The


    Queen is even refusing anyone to detain her. It doesn''t matter what the Queen''s reasons are; you can''t


    deny that she is harming the interests of Eurosia!"


    Alice could feel her patience snap as she red at the guards who were about to attack Olivia. She


    shouted sternly, "Stop right there! I''m not even dethroned yet! Who is the one paying your sries


    here? Shouldn''t the lot of you know just whose orders to follow? How dare you put someone else''s


    words above your Queen''s?! What? Are you all turning your cloaks?!"


    As soon as these words were spoken, the discussions among the crowd came to a sudden halt.


    Hugh immediately stepped forward and said, "This is Eurosia, and Alice is the Queen. If she is not


    worthy of this position, then who is? You? Or your daughter?"


    Lucian looked at Hugh, and a glint of malice shed in his eyes. "Mr. Plumpton, you have only just


    arrived. So, you are not aware of the situation here. It''s better for you to stay out of it."


    "I think you are the one who is not aware of their station!" Hugh retorted. "Alice is the Queen of


    Eurosia. As long as she is present, it doesn''t matter what investigation would need to be conducted—


    her orders arew!"


    Lucian scowled. "Hugh, cease harping about trivial matters when this is a major problem! I would have


    conceded if Alice could provide convincing investigation results. However, the fact remains that we


    don''t know anything about the situation. Yet, you still insist on taking Olivia away before she can be


    questioned. Have you considered what would happen if our prime suspect vanishes before we could


    proceed with our investigation?!"


    Hugh merely answered, "I invited Doctor Maxwell under General Bleu''s orders. So, anyone who dares


    to obstruct me from taking her to General Bleu will be charged with obstructing official duties."


    Then, he took the walkie-talkie and ordered, "Imperial Guards,e in!"


    Soon, the gates of the pce swung open, and several imperial guards in blue uniforms entered. They


    were different from the pce guards, whom Lucian''s words could still sway. These men only listened


    to Doreen''s orders.


    In fact, their arrival represented Doreen''s intentions.


    Doreen''s abilities and methods were unmatched in the entirety of Eurosia, not to mention Lucian''s. This


    was also the reason why Lucian and Beatrix did everything they could to prevent Doreen from


    recuperating.


    Hugh regarded Lucian arrogantly as he said, "Protect Mr. Nn and Doctor Maxwell and take them to


    the Governor General''s residence. If anyone tries to stop you, you have the right to silence them!"
