The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1070

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Killing a Chicken Lightly

Here, Samuel Chalmers looked at the person approaching, already reaching out to pull them along inside.

Suddenly hearing this voice, he slightly turned his head, but the action of pulling the person did not pause.

Pulling the person to stand by his side, the two then simultaneously turned their heads, silently looking at the speaking Minister of Rites.

Although they did not speak, their eyes seemed to ask——

"What do you want to say?"

The Minister of Rites looked at the King and future Empress standing together staring at him, and the words originally on the verge of being spoken suddenly stuck.

He inexplicably felt a sense of being rather unaccommodating.

Strangely, it was said that His Majesty had specially left the palace yesterday due to the extraordinary sight of the Phoenix flying to the sky, which led him to meet this legendary Heaven’s Chosen Daughter who could attract the Phoenix, and then immediately issued a decree to bestow her as the Empress.

But looking at the two standing together now, it gave an impression of a tacit understanding, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Nonetheless, after the initial hesitation, the Minister of Rites bravely asserted his duty,

"Your Majesty, although the decree has been issued, Miss Phoenix has yet to hold the ceremony for becoming Empress. Meeting Your Majesty without performing the ceremony, standing beside Your Majesty, this act does not conform with etiquette."

He started off hesitantly but spoke firmly by the end, neither servile nor overbearing.

The surrounding officials secretly echoed him.

Indeed, this does not conform to etiquette!

Your Majesty too, acting too willfully after a severe illness, not even consulting us on such a significant matter as assigning an Empress, this really isn’t suitable.

Ultimately, it’s because His Majesty didn’t discuss with us that caused this fuss.

Samuel listened to the words of the other party but did not release his grip on Scarlett Jennings’s hand, only silently listened until the end, before asking after a long pause,

"Are you done speaking?"

A light sentence, yet inexplicably gave a sense of intangible oppression, causing even those ministers secretly agreeing to close their mouths at the right moment.

The Minister of Rites swallowed his saliva, finally retracting that neither servile nor overbearing attitude,

"Minister, I am finished."

Samuel nodded, "If you’re finished, then step back."

The Minister of Rites was initially taken aback, evidently unclear about what the King meant?

Let him step back, that’s it?

Will the future Empress change her stance?

Shouldn’t he show a stance?

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to retreat, Samuel’s eyes slightly darkened, intending to set an example, yet as he was about to speak, his palm was gently squeezed by a soft hand.

This was Scarlett indicating for him to play this appropriately.

After all, borrowing someone else’s body, it’s unsuitable to overplay the role.

Samuel restrained himself, slightly responded acknowledging with a squeeze, and then scanned his black eyes over the present ministers, only to speak softly,

"Yesterday, I have issued a clear decree, the legitimate daughter of the Phoenix Family is the Phoenix-selected Heaven’s Chosen Daughter, equal in stature to me."

While speaking, he looked at the Minister of Rites who had spoken earlier and stated,

"Minister of Rites, disregarding my intention, penalize by copying the ’Etiquette’ a hundred times, demote.
