Chapter 1453 Rectifying the Council

Seeing that no one spoke up, Alice spoke again, "Does no one have anything to say? Are

you all in agreement with Lucian's words, or do you agree with mine?"

With that, she looked around and suddenly called, "Silas Cadwell."

Silas jumped in surprise, wondering why he was being called again.

A sly smile crept up to the corners of Alice's lips. You're one of Lucian's men, are you not?

Let's see how you'll respond.

"You speak."

Silas looked somewhat resentful at Alice. How could he navigate this?! He wanted to say

that he had no opinion on the Queen's punishment, but he also didn't want to offend

Lucian.

Although he seemed to be in a weaker position now, Lucian was cunning, and who knew

when he might strike back?! So, it was best not to offend either side.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and hesitated, adopting a

diplomatic tone. "Well... this... I'm not sure I should comment on this. It's, you know, a

matter within your family, Your Highness."

Her pupils contracted. While he hadn't shown bias toward Lucian, he also hadn't taken a

strong stance in her favor.

Did she lack a mindless puppet?!

Instantly, she turned grim. "A family matter? You've been pressing me for an explanation

for three days, worrying about General Bleu one moment and Eurosia the next. Now, when

I ask for your opinion and explanation, you say it's a family matter? What's this? You come

to work without a brain, just a mouth? Mr. Bailey, find someone to replace his job. I won't

keep idlers!"

Azriel immediately responded, "Yes."

Alice then instructed the guards, "Throw Silas out for me."

Silas, seeing the guards approaching to apprehend him, panicked and shouted, "Your

Highness, I haven't done anything wrong! You can't treat me like this..."

The guards might have had some reservations about Lucian, but they were not very polite

to a consul like Silas. In no time, he was swiftly ejected from the hall amidst Silas'

passionate protestations.

Lucian frowned. She was openly attacking him!

"Alice, Silas has always been diligent in his work. You can't just throw him out because he

didn't say what you wanted to hear. This way, who will dare to speak the truth in the

future?"

Alice sneered, "The truth? Did he say a single truthful word? It was all nonsense!"

As she spoke, she looked at everyone again. "I know all of you in these positions have a

slick way of handling things, avoiding offending anyone, not taking sides, and aiming for

no achievements but no mistakes. But from today onwards, open your eyes and see the

situation clearly. If you want to stay, use your brains. Don't just blindly agree with

everything. The era of 'it's none of my business' is over. If you still want to continue living

here, you can pack your things and leave!"

At this moment, Azriel stood up and said, "Your Highness, the investigation into Doctor

Maxwell's case was conducted by me and Mr. Bleu together. Based on our investigation, I

can conclude that Lucian and Beatrix indeed had treasonous intentions, and it seems to

have been premeditated for a long time. Just the fact that he placed a recording device in

his study is suspicious. Furthermore, we have Mr. Nolan's recording as evidence, along

with his attempt to frame Dr. Maxwell using the Tears of the Ocean. It's clear that his aim

was to hinder Dr. Maxwell from treating General Bleu and thus weaken the Queen's power.

Such a person must not be tolerated."

At that, Lucian angrily shouted, "Azriel Bailey, you're talking nonsense!"

But Azriel simply ignored him and nodded slightly at the Queen before sitting down.

With Alice's stern warning and Azriel's lead, how could anyone still fail to see the

situation?!

Soon, others began to speak one after another.

"Yes, Lucian and the Crown Princess have dismissed countless doctors in the past few

months. They pretended to be concerned, but in reality, they just didn't want General Bleu

to be treated."

"The Crown Princess has always been arrogant and brainless. The words in the recording

must be sincere. She and Lucian have long been planning treason."

"During this time, Lucian has been carrying around a list of assassins, asking us to

persuade the Queen. We thought he was doing it for the good of Eurosia, but we were kept

in the dark. Please, Your Highness, bring them to justice."
