Chapter 1458 Coup d’Etat

"Lock Lucian and Beatrix in the dungeon," Alice ordered.

"Yes!"

This time, the guards responded in unison, displaying unprecedented unity.

A faint smile appeared on Alice's lips; decimation had worked.

Just as the guards were about to apprehend Lucian, he desperately broke free from their

restraints and swiftly used a pen-shaped object to cut the throat of one of the guards.

That guard didn't even have a chance to make a sound before collapsing to the ground.

The room erupted in chaos. People screamed and scattered in all directions. The guards

surrounding Alice immediately shielded her from harm.

Eugene instinctively protected Olivia, while Albert, after a quick glance at Alice to confirm

her safety, stepped forward to shield Olivia as well.

At the same time, the palace gates were violently kicked open, and a horde of guards

rushed in from outside, each armed with firearms and covered in blood. It appeared they

had overcome the guards stationed at the palace entrance.

Olivia's eyes narrowed in realization. It seemed her husband had indeed anticipated this.

In his desperation, Lucian had prepared a contingency plan, notifying his people to come

and stage a coup d'etat.

At that, she whispered something to Albert, who obediently nodded and departed.

On the other side, Lucian's guards pointed their guns at the terrified and screaming

Consuls, shouting, "Sit down! All of you, sit down and don't move!"

As they spoke, they began firing at the palace guards.

Before long, the palace hall was a scene of death and injury.

Covered in blood and with fierce appearances, the invading guards looked even more

menacing and terrifying.

The Consuls, too frightened to run, obediently sat down.

Strangely, Alice maintained a calm demeanor, appearing composed and in control of the

situation. Her elevated position allowed her to oversee the entire hall.

Soon enough, a smile played at the corners of her lips as she witnessed another group of

guards dressed in blue uniforms entering, representing Doreen's faction. She also spotted

River leading over twenty black-clad bodyguards, representing Eugene's faction. These

groups arrived in quick succession, with only a few seconds between them.

The echoing command of "Don't move" reverberated through the hall.

Just as the triumphant shouts of Lucian's guards had not yet subsided, they were rendered

motionless by the subsequent arrivals.

Lucian's guards had just engaged in a skirmish with the palace guards at the entrance,

resulting in casualties, which put them at a numerical disadvantage. Moreover, Doreen's

troops were well-trained, each capable of taking on several opponents. Eugene's

bodyguards were also formidable.

In no time, the two groups besieged Lucian's guards.

Initially bold and full of confidence, Lucian's guards were now sandwiched and trapped.

Despite their firearms, they dared not make any rash moves.

To move meant certain death, and they were essentially standing targets. Their mission

was to kill the queen and rescue Lucian. They glanced at the heavily guarded queen and

then at Lucian, locked in combat with the palace guards. They realized there was no way

to proceed.

One by one, they sensibly lowered their weapons.

Just as Lucian had incapacitated one of the palace guards, he was left dumbfounded by

the unfolding scene.

He had believed himself to be the mastermind, but it turned out that the young girl had

devised multiple backup plans.

No, it couldn't be her! How could she possess such wisdom? It had to be Doreen.

D*mn it! She has just started to recover, and now she's ruining everything for me! I have

to kill her no matter what, or she'll predict my every plan!

He didn't want to experience this kind of defeat again.

Almost instinctively, he charged toward Doreen.

"Protect the general!" Alice shouted in panic as she watched the enraged Lucian closing in

on Doreen. But Lucian was too fast. Before anyone could react, the pen-like dagger was

thrust toward Doreen.
