A minister began to call out aloud at once, “Stop it! Stop it, all of you! Hold your fire!”The royal guards were drenched in cold sweat. They had also noticed the dire consequences of shooting weapons in there. More than twenty people were accidentally injured as a result of their shooting. It was a horrible situation!Moreover, these people were not just anybody. They were dignitaries who had great influence over different professional fields. Zayn and Alice did not get shot, but they had appeared in the other direction when the others were caught off guard. Zayn had one arm wrapped around Alice while Alice held onto him tightly as well. It could be said that she was hanging on Zayn for her dear life. The intimate posture was as sensual as it could be. Alice experienced a feeling of arousal that she had never experienced when Zayn performed all sorts of movements such as leaping into the air and jumping with her. Her heart was racing, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bri
Everybody else was shocked as well. They had not expected that Zayn would break through layers of royal guards and get close enough to Prince William to capture him. The crowd did not make a sound and watched Zayn in silence. Before, they would certainly have done all they could to fight odd Zayn and save Prince William. However, they were greatly disappointed in Prince William after the earlier incident. He was not only a coward, but he disregarded the lives of others when he ordered the royal guards to fire their weapons in the palace without any consideration for their safety!“Don’t kill me, I’m begging you. Please don’t kill me…”With his throat being clutched, Prince William was suffocating. His gaze was filled with fear and regret. He was already so petrified that he had wet himself!As for the rest of the royal guards, they did not act rashly either. At that moment, Zayn was seen as the devil in the eyes of the crowd. No one had ever caused a scene that turned th
Meanwhile, Alice was stunned. She hastily gave a small curtsy when she finally recovered from her surprise and called out, “Your Majesty”. Even though she loathed Prince William, it did not affect her respect and admiration for the Queen at all. She was brought up listening to the legendary stories of the Queen since she was young, so she had heartfelt admiration and respect for Yingland’s guardian. Prince William burst out laughing aloud after seeing the Queen. He pointed at Zayn and spoke in an arrogant, loud voice, “Hah-hah-hah-hah, my grandmother is here. You’re dead. You despicable Rheasian, you’re dead!”His behavior now was as obnoxious as humanly possible without a trace of princely grace.Zayn’s expression remained unchanged. On the contrary, he looked at him with a hint of irony and sympathy. The rest of the crowd at the scene did not have a good impression of Prince William either and assumed that his actions were like he was asking for trouble.The Queen looked t
William was the prince and the grandson of the Queen, yet he had been stripped of his title just like that?Moreover, Prince William’s mistake was not particularly unpardonable, was it?!It was shocking to the people at the scene as the crown prince was being dethroned by the queen. It sounded absurd even!Everyone at the scene was astounded, and it was even more unacceptable for Prince William himself. He stood on the spot in shock. He was staring in bewilderment, a doubtful expression on his face. What the heck was going on? His grandmother had actually stripped him of his title as the prince in front of so many people. Moreover, his grandmother wanted to imprison him in the crypt for five years?It could be said that Zayn was the calmest of all the people at the scene and he did not find any of it surprising. In reality, he already knew what the Queen would do just from the look in her eyes. He could not help but admire the Queen’s decisiveness in punishing her family me
All at once, Prince William was condemned by the public. He staggered backward, his entire body shaking so violently that he almost lost his footing. He was scared out of his wits and panicking. He got down on his knees with a loud thump in front of the Queen and hugged her thigh tightly as he begged, “Grandma, Grandma, I was wrong. I was wrong! Please don’t strip me of my title as prince, Grandma. I won’t do it again from now on, Grandma…”He was crying profusely, snot running down his nose. He was an awful mess and had none of the demeanor a prince should have possessed. He had no idea that the Queen was even more disappointed by his pathetic begging. In the end, she shook her head and broke free from Prince William instantly while she gave the order in an ice-cold, overbearing tone, “Guards, take him to the crypt.”“Yes, Your Majesty!”Royal guards began to walk over immediately and detained Prince William. Prince William struggled with all his might, yet he was already
It was all quiet. There was a deathly silence at the scene, not a sound to be heard. They were all astounded. Moreover, the level of incredulity was more intense than anything they had seen earlier. The Queen was choosing Alice as the new crown princess?They wondered if they had misheard.Alice was not a member of the royal family but a member of the Alexanders. Moreover, she was just a commoner. How did she qualify to be the crown princess?Alice would take over and lead Yingland after the Queen’s time?The crowd were even wondering if they were delusional. They refused to believe that it was real because it was so out of this world!No one would expect that the Queen would make a decision like that. In fact, they were even wondering if the Queen was suffering from dementia because of her old age. Alice was dumbfounded as well. She raised her head and looked at the Queen as she walked to her step by step. She was the Queen, the person whom she admired the most in her
Meanwhile, the Alexander family was excited beyond comparison!Horton was so ecstatic that his entire body was shaking violently. However, he was still forcing himself to remain composed. He did not dare to express his excitement, but he had to lower his head to conceal the smile on his face. It would be unfortunate if the Queen noticed his expression and changed her mind!The Queen smiled kindly and helped Alice to stand upright. She said to her, “There’s no mistake. I choose you, Alice. Would you be willing to address me as ‘Grandma’?”Alice’s head was a chaotic mess, so she instinctively said, “Grandma…”“Good! Very well, my sweet grandchild…” The Queen rubbed Alice’s head affectionately. The Queen then said, “So, are you willing to be my crown princess?”It was a huge shock to Alice.She was having a hard time processing all that had happened and the radical changes that took place that day. The incidents were beyond everything else she had experienced in her life!“I-
It felt as if a powerful tornado had emerged from the Queen and swept across her surroundings. Her presence was so overpowering!Everyone there could feel the assault upon their minds. It was more than an attack, for it had made their minds go blank. All they could do was bow down and curtsy. They had just remembered that the Queen was not just their ruler. She was also the most powerful person in Yingland. She was the country’s only invincibilis powerhouse. As such, she was the nation’s guardian angel. Having the audacity to disapprove of her decision was like asking for death.The Queen appeared to be very easy going during the recent years but she made her name with her killings a few decades ago. In an instant, they felt fear and regret for disagreeing with their Queen. It seemed like they had swelled up with so much pride that they had forgotten about the Queen’s history of bloodshed. Let alone them, even Zayn was shocked by the Queen’s effect on him. It was the do
