Chapter 1454 On the Brink of Death

Lucian looked at the people who had turned against him, feeling furious to the point that every part ofhis body ached.

He had underestimated this young girl. No! He had underestimated that man—Eugene Nolan.

He narrowed his eyes fiercely. "Even if I framed Olivia Maxwell for the Tears of the Ocean necklace, thevideo is real, right? It's true that she stole the necklace five years ago, right? And the sapphire necklacefell out of her bag, too, didn't it? How do you explain all of that?"

Alice sneered icily, "Trying to drag someone down with you when you're on the brink of death? Verywell, I will clarify it for you, Lucian!"

At that, she turned to the crowd and asked, "Do you all remember that our country's sapphire necklaceis hereditary, and do you remember who issued the hereditary system for the sapphire necklace?"

The people in the room, now resembling obedient schoolchildren, eagerly answered, "QueenBlanchett."

Alice continued, "Yes, my mother. But do you all know why my mother said that inheriting the thronerequired the sapphire necklace?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, but no one responded.

Alice didn't expect them to answer either and continued, " General Bleu only told me about this after

falling ill. My mother was seeing my father—my real father, Zachary Quaver, not Lucian—before sheascended the throne. My great-grandmother, the former queen, separated them because she thoughtmy father's humble background wasn't suitable for my mother. She even arranged a marriage for myfather to dissuade my mother from pursuing him. On my father's wedding day, my mother found out shewas pregnant. She didn't want to ruin my father's wedding, was afraid of my great-grandmother replaceingout about her pregnancy, and didn't want to see sisters fighting against each other. So, she willinglygave up the throne and left for Criecia.

"However, Titiana wasn't convinced that my mother had willingly given up the throne. She sent peopleto search for my mother. On one occasion, when Titiana was pursuing her, she happened to be in ahospital getting her child treated. She had no choice but to leave the child in a doctor's office and wascaptured by Titiana. This incident is no secret in Eurosia, and I'm sure you've all heard of it. So, I won'trepeat it.

"What I want to say today is that the reason my mother instituted the rule of inheriting the throne withthe sapphire necklace is that she gave the sapphire necklace to the child she left in the doctor's office,which is my sister, The Crown Princess of Eurosia!"

With Alice's revelation, the crowd erupted into a tumult.

"What does this mean? Are you saying that the former queen had another child?"

"Yeah, I only heard about the former queen being captured by Titiana and outsmarting her, but whendid she have another child?"

"Don't you all care about the purpose behind the queen's words today? Obviously, the child has beenfound."

"Who is it? Could it be Olivia? She's in possession of the necklace, isn't she?"

Beatrix tensed up with a mix of anxiety as she glanced around, fearing that the revelation might be true.

If Olivia is also a princess, won't it mean that we're on equal footing?! No, this can't happen!

Lucian also realized the implications and sneered, "Are you suggesting that Olivia is the child Blanchettlost all those years ago? Ha! You, as a queen, truly have a flair for the dramatic. You're even willing togive up the princess' status to clear Olivia's name. How absurd! A common thief like Olivia doesn'tdeserve it!"

Alice glanced at Lucian indifferently and said, "Deserving it or not isn't up to you to decide, and whetheror not to let her have it isn't up to me. My mother's firstborn is the Crown Princess of Eurosia, and that'sundeniable. Furthermore, my mother had once stated that she wanted to pass the throne to herfirstborn!"
