Chapter 1458 Coup d’Etat
"Lock Lucian and Beatrix in the dungeon," Alice ordered.
"Yes!"
This time, the guards responded in unison, disying unprecedented unity.
A faint smile appeared on Alice''s lips; decimation had worked.
Just as the guards were about to apprehend Lucian, he desperately broke free from their restraints and
swiftly used a pen-shaped object to cut the throat of one of the guards.
That guard didn''t even have a chance to make a sound before copsing to the ground.
The room erupted in chaos. People screamed and scattered in all directions. The guards surrounding
Alice immediately shielded her from harm.
Eugene instinctively protected Olivia, while Albert, after a quick nce at Alice to confirm her safety,
stepped forward to shield Olivia as well.
At the same time, the pce gates were violently kicked open, and a horde of guards rushed in from
outside, each armed with firearms and covered in blood. It appeared they had ovee the guards
stationed at the pce entrance.
Olivia''s eyes narrowed in realization. It seemed her husband had indeed anticipated this. In his
desperation, Lucian had prepared a contingency n, notifying his people toe and stage a coup
d''etat.
At that, she whispered something to Albert, who obediently nodded and departed.
On the other side, Lucian''s guards pointed their guns at the terrified and screaming Consuls, shouting,
"Sit down! All of you, sit down and don''t move!"
As they spoke, they began firing at the pce guards.
Before long, the pce hall was a scene of death and injury.
Covered in blood and with fierce appearances, the invading guards looked even more menacing and
terrifying.
The Consuls, too frightened to run, obediently sat down.
Strangely, Alice maintained a calm demeanor, appearingposed and in control of the situation. Her
elevated position allowed her to oversee the entire hall.
Soon enough, a smile yed at the corners of her lips as she witnessed another group of guards
dressed in blue uniforms entering, representing Doreen''s faction. She also spotted River leading over
twenty ck-d bodyguards, representing Eugene''s faction. These groups arrived in quick
session, with only a few seconds between them.
The echoingmand of "Don''t move" reverberated through the hall.
Just as the triumphant shouts of Lucian''s guards had not yet subsided, they were rendered motionless
by the subsequent arrivals.
Lucian''s guards had just engaged in a skirmish with the pce guards at the entrance, resulting in
casualties, which put them at a numerical disadvantage. Moreover, Doreen''s troops were well-trained,
each capable of taking on several opponents. Eugene''s bodyguards were also formidable.
In no time, the two groups besieged Lucian''s guards.
Initially bold and full of confidence, Lucian''s guards were now sandwiched and trapped. Despite their
firearms, they dared not make any rash moves.

To move meant certain death, and they were essentially standing targets. Their mission was to kill the
queen and rescue Lucian. They nced at the heavily guarded queen and then at Lucian, locked in
combat with the pce guards. They realized there was no way to proceed.
One by one, they sensibly lowered their weapons.
Just as Lucian had incapacitated one of the pce guards, he was left dumbfounded by the unfolding
scene.
He had believed himself to be the mastermind, but it turned out that the young girl had devised multiple
backup ns.
No, it couldn''t be her! How could she possess such wisdom? It had to be Doreen.
D*mn it! She has just started to recover, and now she''s ruining everything for me! I have to kill her no
matter what, or she''ll predict my every n!
He didn''t want to experience this kind of defeat again.
Almost instinctively, he charged toward Doreen.
"Protect the general!" Alice shouted in panic as she watched the enraged Lucian closing in on Doreen.
But Lucian was too fast. Before anyone could react, the pen-like dagger was thrust toward Doreen.
