Retirement
After Alice finished speaking, she stared everyone down from her throne. “I don’t have many virtues,
but I do have a good memory. I know the good and the bad. I’m sure that all of you have heard that
General Bleu’s condition has improved under Doctor Maxwell’s treatment. In fact, she can speak now.
Plus, Doctor Maxwell is also the famed Doctor Bailey, whom my brother found after eight months of
grueling search. If we disregard what had happened earlier, just the fact that she was willing to travel
from afar just to help Eurosia… I will never forget her kindness!”
Then, she inhaled deeply and continued, “I haven’t been in power for long, and I can never compare to
the decisive and wise Queen Blanchett. It’s normal for everyone to be dissatisfied with someone as
inexperienced as me. But let me ask you, have I ever done anything to harm Eurosia? Have I
mistreated any of you Consuls? Yet, all of you have taken advantage of my benevolence time and time
again!”
Her voice was intimidating, and her gaze was as sharp as a dagger.
No one said a word. Instead, they all lowered their heads and wilted under her stern reprimand.
Alice looked around and spoke again, “Why is no one saying anything? Weren’t you all nattering away
happily just a few minutes ago? When a problem occurs, the lot of you just stand around and agree
with the loudest person out there instead of coming up with an opinion of your own. Since none of you
are willing to step up when there’s a crisis, you can return to your homes and enjoy your retirement.
Why are you still standing here?”
Everyone couldn’t help but gape at her in astonishment. They knew that the person sitting on the
throne genuinely held the power of their life and death. It was a fact that whether they could remain in
power depended on just one word from that person.
Prior to this, none of them paid any mind to this new Queen.
In their eyes, she had always been a meek and gentle girl, lacking experience and naive in her ways.
Although she held the throne, she didn’t seem like a Queen. Instead, she had always relied on Doreen
for everything.
However, they suddenly realized that the girl they had always looked down on had suddenly grown into
herself after today’s incident.
She looked utterly comfortable on the throne as she exuded a powerful aura. She didn’t seem any less
domineering and imposing than Queen Blanchett.
Plus, although her patience was repeatedly tested by Lucian and Beatrix, she didn’t back down even
for a second.
Now, she sat there with dignity, showing no signs of being easy to manipulate.
Alice instructed the people around her, “Take a look at how many people disobeyed my orders today or
showed disrespect to Doctor Maxwell. Send them directly to the judicial authorities and deal with them
as necessary!”
The people around her immediately responded, “Yes!”
Then, she swept her gaze across the Consuls and spoke to a man, “Mr. Bailey, you are responsible for
investigating today’s incident. Determine whether the video is true or doctored, figure out whether the
person in the video is truly Doctor Maxwell, and dig out just who was the one who came into
possession of Doctor Maxwell’s bag. Find out the truth for me by any means necessary!”
Mr. Bailey replied, “Yes, Your Majesty!”
Finally, she turned to the people around her and said, “Give me that necklace. I will ask General Bleu
about this.”
The people around her immediately rushed to pick up the necklace, handing it to Alice.
She took it, rose to her feet, and coldly said to everyone, “Meeting adjourned!”
After that, she strode out of the throne room without a backward glance.
…
Meanwhile, Eugene and Olivia left the palace and got into the car arranged by Hugh himself.
Both of them remained silent throughout the journey.
Of course, they were far from happy after being accused of theft.
Hugh tentatively broached, “Mr. Nolan, I’m sorry for being late. Are you both okay?”
Eugene only hugged Olivia and shot him with an unfriendly look. “What do you think?”
Hugh felt awkward, not knowing if Eugene’s anger was directed at him or if it was because of the
injustice he had just suffered in the palace. Now that he was thinking about it, there was a high chance
that it was both of those things.
So, he hurriedly explained, “Lucian and Beatrix have always coveted the throne. They only became
even more unscrupulous after General Bleu fell ill. Don’t mind them. Their words hold no power as long
as the Queen believes in you.”
Unfortunately, Eugene didn’t buy his explanation one bit as he demanded, “When did Shannon arrive at
the Governor General’s residence?”
Hugh couldn’t help but become anxious. “River took her there around 9 a.m..”
Then, Eugene asked sharply, “She arrived at 9 a.m., but you only came at 11 a.m.?”
