Chapter 1455 Do You Think You Can Fool Me Like a Child?
As Alice continued her revelation, the crowd was in shock.
What's going on? Does this mean that Olivia is the rightful queen of Eurosia instead?!
Alice ignored their astonishment and continued, "The Crown Princess' name is Avril Bleu, which means 'beginning' and symbolizes a new start for my mother. Later, when Avril was lost, my mother searched for her, but when it proved fruitless, she shifted her focus to finding the necklace. Since the necklace was placed on Avril, my mother believed that finding the necklace would lead to her daughter, and that's why Eurosia's succession required the sapphire necklace. My mother was wise; she knew that everyone would strive to find the necklace for the throne, but it was never found. Five years ago, on the night depicted in Lucian's video..."
She paused and took a deep breath. "At this point, I don't want to hide anything. The video Lucian released a few days ago is indeed genuine, and the person in it is indeed Olivia. She was the assassin from the Double Dragon Court hired by Lucian, intending to steal the sapphire necklace."
The crowd was left bewildered by this revelation.
What's going on? Wasn't the video said to be fabricated just a few days ago? Now, it's genuine again?! Also, the Queen had just claimed that Olivia is both the Crown Princess and the rightful queen, and yet, now, she revealed that Olivia is indeed the assassin from the video. What's the real story here?!
Lucian grinned wickedly, schadenfreude. How about that? She doesn't spare any mercy now that Olivia is threatening her throne as well. She wants to strike us down, then get rid of Olivia, doesn't she?!"
At that, he exclaimed urgently, "So, you're admitting that the video is real now? Last time, you vehemently claimed it was fabricated. Whom were you trying to protect? Or is it that the person you're protecting also poses a threat to you? You're accusing me of hiring assassins from the Double Dragon Court. What evidence do you have? You're labeling Olivia as an assassin and branding both me and your sister as employers of assassins. By doing this, you're eliminating all those who threaten you. It's a clever way of getting rid of your rivals! I suspect you're not here to solve problems but to eliminate dissidents!"
Alice's lips curved into a half-smile, seemingly amused. "I was just introducing Doctor Maxwell's identity to everyone. Why are you so worked up, Lucian? If I wanted to eliminate dissidents, I wouldn't have revealed Doctor Maxwell's identity."
While Lucian furrowed his brows, looking somewhat puzzled, she continued, "I recognized Doctor Maxwell immediately when I saw her this time. Back when she and the others were in this study, I was just outside, and I had their every move under my control. Of course, I had no idea that Lucian had placed a recording in my study."
She then turned to look at Lucian. "You asked me who I was protecting to deliberately claim that the video was fabricated. Well, let me tell you, it was you, my father. I was giving you a chance! I didn't want to be ruthless with you. Don't you realize that by admitting the video's authenticity, you essentially acknowledge that you hired assassins to steal the necklace?! Otherwise, how do you explain placing a recording in my study that conveniently captured them committing the crime? The only explanation is that you knew in advance.
"Even if the Double Dragon Court's assassins were formidable, without someone on the inside, they couldn't have moved about Eurosia freely without raising suspicion. I've given you chances time and
time again, but you truly didn't take me seriously. Your daughter made grandiose claims, framing doctors and preventing them from treating General Bleu. You secretly rallied various factions to your side. Just a few months ago, you even sent assassins from Dragon's Breath to steal the necklace, didn't you? The list of assassins in your possession is something only the employer would have. Father, did you really think you could fool me like a child?"
