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
They did not have courage to express any resistance in fear of the Queen killing them. However, they would never abide by the Queen’s orders. The Queen had the right to make Alice the next queen and they would not have the courage to do anything to the new crown princess outwardly, but in private, they would never be so obedient!Those noblemen of the royal family had made up their minds to entrap Alice when they could. As the former prince, William had the right to the throne in a perfectly justifiable manner. They did not have the courage to scheme against him back then, but the young man had been dethroned. On the other hand, Alice was just an outsider without any royal blood. They would never sit idly and allow their own destruction!The engagement ceremony ended with Alice being the final victor, having been made the crown princess by the Queen in such a baffling manner. It could be said that Alice had hit the jackpot. Those intelligent influential officials figured out
She was rather astonished that Zayn could tell that she was injured at one glance, but she returned to her usual self soon enough. There was a glint of admiration in her eyes, and she did not deny Zayn’s remark. Instead, she nodded and said, “That’s right. I was injured and the culprit was the leader of the Order of the Reverence.”Zayn was astonished to hear that the Queen had actually fought the Order of the Reverence’s leader. Moreover, she was injured in the process. This means that the Order of the Reverence’s leader was quite formidable!“Just how skilled is their leader?” Zayn asked in a deep voice. He had a rather serious conflict with the Order of the Reverence. He had beaten Shaun Shapiro to death when he was in Rheasia and killed a number of Order of the Reverence’s members in Yingland, two of them being perfect-class master fighters. Under the illumination of the lights, the Queen’s initially rosy cheeks turned slightly paler and she let out a few soft coughs. Even
A fighter’s constant effort to engage in training was to temper himself and expand his limits. It was the ideology of a man whose powers could conquer nature. Still, there were limits to mankind and there was an end to how far one could go. Sensing Zayn’s dejection, the Queen chuckled and said, “I had almost the same reaction when I first learned about the limits of mankind. I was very dejected, sad, and doubtful.”Zayn remained silent. The Queen continued to speak, “The invincibilis state is already a breakthrough to nature’s limits upon humanity. There are billions of people in this world but only a few invincibilis fighters. On the other hand, a Level-3 invincibilis fighter is a godlike superhuman. Though they won’t be able to break the laws of physics or fly, the fighter is all-powerful and capable of many other feats. It may be the end of the path, but it is enough.”The Queen’s statement made a lot of sense. The invincibilis state was supposed to be the long cherished goa
Zayn stayed for a few more days in Yingland rather than leave immediately. He did so mainly to learn from the Queen and use the opportunity to find out as much about the invincibilis state as he could. On the other hand, the Queen did not attempt to hide anything from him. She showed her goodwill by sharing her knowledge to Zayn, which benefited him immensely. Other than that, Zayn stayed so he could provide guidance to Alice. After all, strictly speaking, it was he who changed Alice’s life, so he had to bear the responsibility of showing her the way. He did so because of his personality, and it was his duty in view of his previous actions.Most importantly, it was part of a deal between him and the Queen. Zayn had also learned more about the Order of the Reverence. He discovered the order was truly an evil organization. The leader of the club was known as Evilasius and was an extremely malicious man. He was at the peak of Level-1 invincibilis and not even the Queen was a ma
The Queen waved her hand dismissively and said with a smile, “It’s fine. The residence is old anyway, so it’s about time I redid it.”Her words were tainted with emotion and Zayn could immediately tell that she was using the residence as a metaphor for herself. It made him feel even more embarrassed. He wanted to repair the residence for her, but the Queen rejected the offer. “Sigh… I still didn’t manage to break through to invincibilis,” Zayn said. The Queen said with a smile, “That’s quite normal. You’ll only need the right opportunity. It’s already rather impressive that you managed to strengthen your current state within such a short period. With your current capabilities, you’re already incredibly close to the invincibilis state.”Zayn nodded. He could feel that his skills had improved, and his entire body was filled with explosive energy. He felt more powerful than ever before!At the very least, he was a few times more powerful than when he was a perfect-class master
