Chapter 1426 Boundaries
Everyone turned their heads toward the sound as the door swung open. Hugh walked in and bowed deeply to Alice, saying, “Your Majesty, I have been ordered by General Bleu to invite Miss Maxwell and her husband to come with me.”
Alice’s heart eased slightly as she responded calmly, “Alright.”
Then, he looked at Olivia and said, “Miss Maxwell, I apologize for the inconvenience you’ve experienced earlier.”
Olivia shot a glance at Albert, who was still in a daze, and forced a smile, saying, “It’s alright. As long as the Queen believes in us.”
Eugene’s expression remained unpleasant throughout the exchange. Not only was he angry at Albert, but he also didn’t like the fact that Hugh had arrived so late!
However, he didn’t say anything. After all, the key was to leave this place as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Lucian stopped them before they could finally depart from this cruel place. He looked at Alice with a serious expression and intoned gravely, “Alice, I know you want to cure your godmother’s illness as soon as possible, but Olivia is nothing more than a thief. She knows nothing about medicine. Aren’t you worried about her doing something untoward against General Bleu?”
Beatrix chimed in, “Exactly, Your Majesty! Didn’t you see what had happened? Olivia still has a Eurosian necklace in her hand! Even if you let her go, she should at least explain why she has a Eurosian necklace in her possession.”
Alice remained silent and took the box handed to her by someone next to her. Then, she opened it and showed the box’s contents to everyone. “Can everyone see it? The necklace is clearly with me.”
Then, she stood up and placed the necklace in the slot of the Queen’s throne. The throne slowly rose after a soft click.
After a moment of surprise, the crowd began to whisper to each other. “What’s going on? The ‘Tears of the Ocean’ necklace hasn’t been lost! So, what does Olivia have?”
