Chapter 1453


    Chapter 1453 Rectifying the Council


    Seeing that no one spoke up, Alice spoke again, "Does no one have anything to say? Are you all in


    agreement with Lucian''s words, or do you agree with mine?"


    With that, she looked around and suddenly called, "Ss Cadwell."


    Ss jumped in surprise, wondering why he was being called again.


    A sly smile crept up to the corners of Alice''s lips. You''re one of Lucian''s men, are you not? Let''s see


    how you''ll respond.


    "You speak."


    Ss looked somewhat resentful at Alice. How could he navigate this?! He wanted to say that he had


    no opinion on the Queen''s punishment, but he also didn''t want to offend Lucian.


    Although he seemed to be in a weaker position now, Lucian was cunning, and who knew when he


    might strike back?! So, it was best not to offend either side.


    He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and hesitated, adopting a diplomatic


    tone. "Well... this... I''m not sure I shouldment on this. It''s, you know, a matter within your family,


    Your Highness."

    Her pupils contracted. While he hadn''t shown bias toward Lucian, he also hadn''t taken a strong stance


    in her favor.


    Did sheck a mindless puppet?!


    Instantly, she turned grim. "A family matter? You''ve been pressing me for an exnation for three days,


    worrying about General Bleu one moment and Eurosia the next. Now, when I ask for your opinion and


    exnation, you say it''s a family matter? What''s this? Youe to work without a brain, just a mouth?


    Mr. Bailey, find someone to rece his job. I won''t keep idlers!"


    Azriel immediately responded, "Yes."


    Alice then instructed the guards, "Throw Ss out for me."


    Ss, seeing the guards approaching to apprehend him, panicked and shouted, "Your Highness, I


    haven''t done anything wrong! You can''t treat me like this..."


    The guards might have had some reservations about Lucian, but they were not very polite to a consul


    like Ss. In no time, he was swiftly ejected from the hall amidst Ss'' passionate protestations.


    Lucian frowned. She was openly attacking him!


    "Alice, Ss has always been diligent in his work. You can''t just throw him out because he didn''t say


    what you wanted to hear. This way, who will dare to speak the truth in the future?"


    Alice sneered, "The truth? Did he say a single truthful word? It was all nonsense!"


    As she spoke, she looked at everyone again. "I know all of you in these positions have a slick way of


    handling things, avoiding offending anyone, not taking sides, and aiming for no achievements but no


    mistakes. But from today onwards, open your eyes and see the situation clearly. If you want to stay,


    use your brains. Don''t just blindly agree with everything. The era of ''it''s none of my business'' is over. If


    you still want to continue living here, you can pack your things and leave!"


    At this moment, Azriel stood up and said, "Your Highness, the investigation into Doctor Maxwell''s case


    was conducted by me and Mr. Bleu together. Based on our investigation, I can conclude that Lucian


    and Beatrix indeed had treasonous intentions, and it seems to have been premeditated for a long time.


    Just the fact that he ced a recording device in his study is suspicious. Furthermore, we have Mr.


    Nn''s recording as evidence, along with his attempt to frame Dr. Maxwell using the Tears of the


    Ocean. It''s clear that his aim was to hinder Dr. Maxwell from treating General Bleu and thus weaken


    the Queen''s power. Such a person must not be tolerated."


    At that, Lucian angrily shouted, "Azriel Bailey, you''re talking nonsense!"


    But Azriel simply ignored him and nodded slightly at the Queen before sitting down.


    With Alice''s stern warning and Azriel''s lead, how could anyone still fail to see the situation?!


    Soon, others began to speak one after another.


    "Yes, Lucian and the Crown Princess have dismissed countless doctors in the past few months. They


    pretended to be concerned, but in reality, they just didn''t want General Bleu to be treated."


    "The Crown Princess has always been arrogant and brainless. The words in the recording must be


    sincere. She and Lucian have long been nning treason."


    "During this time, Lucian has been carrying around a list of assassins, asking us to persuade the


    Queen. We thought he was doing it for the good of Eurosia, but we were kept in the dark. Please, Your


    Highness, bring them to justice."
